Two crossed infrared laser beams with a wavelength of 1064 nm are used to form an optical dipole trap. After precooling the atom samples in a quadrupole-Ioffe configuration (QUIC) trap under 1.5 \mu K by radio-frequency (RF) evaporative cooling, the samples are transferred into the center of the glass cell, then loaded into the optical dipole trap with 800 ms. The pure condensate with up to 1.5×10<sup>5</sup> atoms is obtained over 1.17 s by lowering the power of the trap beams..

A single pulse at 10 GHz with 2.3-ps pulse width is rebuilt by using a 50-MHz frequency tunable free-running fiber laser as the sampling pulse source (SPS). 40-GHz pulse train is used as the input signal. The rebuilt waveforms, together with the low-jitter eye diagram, are also presented..

We prSchemes integrating inter-carrier interference (ICI) self-cancellation and common phase error (CPE) compensation for coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems are investigated. The purpose of our research is to counteract the impacts of laser phase noise and fiber nonlinearity. We propose two ICI self-cancellation-based CO-OFDM schemes, and adopt a pilot-aided decision feedback (DFB) loop for CPE compensation. The proposed schemes are compared with conventional CO-OFDM schemes at the same spectral efficiency. Simulations show that our schemes can not only enhance laser linewidth tolerance of the CO-OFDM system, but also present strong robustness against fiber nonlinearity..

Qing Guo, and Shutian Liu
We introduce a new spectrum transform into the image fusion field and propose a novel fusion method based on discrete fractional random transform (DFRNT). In DFRNT domain, high amplitude spectrum (HAS) and low amplitude spectrum (LAS) components carry different information of original images. For different fusion goalsWe introduce a new spectrum transform into the image fusion field and propose a novel fusion method based on discrete fractional random transform (DFRNT). In DFRNT domain, high amplitude spectrum (HAS) and low amplitude spectrum (LAS) components carry different information of original images. For different fusion goals, different fusion rules can be adopted in HAS and LAS components, respectively. The proposed method is applied to fuse real multi-spectral (MS) and panchromatic (Pan) images. The fused image is observed to preserve both spectral information of MS and spatial information of Pan. Spectrum distribution of DFRNT is random and uniform, which guarantees that good information is reserved..

Initially, the image is divided into blocks with size of 2×2 in order to improve image tamper localization precision. By combining image local properties with human visual system, authentication data are acquired. By computing the class membership degree of each image block property, data are generated by applying k-mean clustering technique to cluster all image blocks. The recovery data are composed of average intensity obtained by truncating the two least significant bits (LSBs) of each pixel within each block. Finally, the logistic chaotic encrypted feature watermark consisting of 2-bit authentication data and 6-bit recovery data of image block is embedded into the two LSBs of each pixel within its corresponding mapping block. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm does not only achieve superior tamper detection and locate tiny tampered positions in images accurately, it also recovers tampered regions effectively..

This allows dynamic responses of SESAM in the cavity to be concluded by ultrafast spectroscopy. Change in reflection is measured as a function of pump-probe delay for different pump excitation fluences. Change of nonlinear reflection of SESAM is measured as a function of incident light energy density. When the excitation fluence increases, nonlinear change in ultrafast spectroscopy of SESAM becomes increasingly significant. When SESAM is pumped by an ultrahigh excitation fluence, the energy density of which is approximately 1400 \mu J/cm<sup>2</sup>, two-photon absorption can be observed visibly in its ultrafast spectroscopy..

This method applies the vector aberration theory, which helps designers analyze third-order aberrations for optical systems with decentered and tilted surfaces. As the vector aberration theory presents the variation of third-order aberrations in asymmetric systems through analytic expressions, real ray tracing is unnec-essary. Hence, the design with vector aberration theory is faster, and the analytic expressions are more comprehensive and intuitive. To demonstrate the practicability of the method, a design example is given, which shows that the presented method can guide designers achieve a good unobscured reflective zoom system with three mirrors..

We investigate the influence of the refractive index of the surrounding on the properties of the nanojet by simulating the electric field distributions We exhibit a three-dimensional (3D) photonic nanojet based on a dielectric microsphere irradiated by a plane wave with the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. We investigate the influence of the refractive index of the surrounding on the properties of the nanojet by simulating the electric field distributions in it. The simulation results show that, by optimally choosing the size of the sphere and the ratio of the refractive indices of the sphere and the surrounding, the focus point can occur just on the surface of the sphere even if the refractive index of the surrounding is changed. Additionally, the peak amplitude of the nanojet increases with increasing the refractive index of the surrounding. However, the decay length and the jet width of the nanojet decrease simultaneously. These effects may have potential applications in observation or manipulation of nano-objects such as antibodies in biology. In nanojet-enabled optical data storage, the photonic nanojet may be also helpful for improving data-storage capacities and retrieval speed by controlling the field amplitude, the decay length, and jet width of the nanojet..

When with whispering gallery (WG) modes, the microtoroid cavity demonstrates high quality factor and small mode volume at visible wavelengths. Accordingly, fiber tapers allow QDs to adhere into the cavity and further permit the control of site-selected coupling. From the luminescence spectra, QDs are modulated effectively by cavity modes. Variable modulations are observed by changing QD coupling conditions. Therefore, based on experimental and theoretical research, strong and tunable Purcell enhancement can be realized by this system.The authors thank Jinming Cui and Chunhua Dong for their helpful discussion.
