The umbrella-type triplet electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) effect driven by two coupling fields with strontium cold atoms in the magneto-optical trap as medium is observed experimentally. The Pound-Drever-Hall frequency stabilization technique and the injection locking technique are applied to the pumpingThe umbrella-type triplet electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) effect driven by two coupling fields with strontium cold atoms in the magneto-optical trap as medium is observed experimentally. The Pound-Drever-Hall frequency stabilization technique and the injection locking technique are applied to the pumping laser in the experiment, and the power stabilization technique for the weak probe laser is also used. The experimental observation precision is improved by these techniques. The experimental results prove that the detuning of coupling lights has relatively great influence on the triplet EIT. Moreover, the line shape of EIT is a simple superposition of two Λ-type EIT line shapes..

A novel high-spectral-resolution lidar (HSRL) technique for atmospheric aerosol remote sensing, which uses multi-longitudinal-mode laser as the transmitting light source, is proposed.

A field-widened Michelson interferometer (FWMI) is used as the spectral discriminator, and the periodic frequency discrimination characteristic in the process of FWMI designing should match with the mode interval of multi-longitudinal-mode laser to ensure consistent fine spectral discrimination for the return signal from each longitudinal mode laser. The principle and the realization way of the proposed multi-longitudinal-mode HSRL are illustrated in detail and the main factors which constrain the frequency discrimination characteristic of the FWMI in multi-longitudinal-mode HSRL are discussed quantitatively. The performance of the proposed technique is verified further at the wavelength of 1064 nm by computer simulation. The multi-longitudinal-mode HSRL technique can avoid the dependence of the current HSRLs on the single multi-longitudinal-mode lasers remarkably. The proposed technique can not only decrease the cost, volume and weight of the laser in HSRL, but also improve its stability notably, which is of great significance for airborne and satellite-borne HSRL development in our country..

Based on the analysis of the difference among the actual atmospheric environment parameters and the target-background radiation intensity, the monthly distribution characteristics of atmospheric transmissivity and target-background contrast in east China sea area and northwest area at 3.9 μm and 9.2 μm are analyzed by Based on the analysis of the difference among the actual atmospheric environment parameters and the target-background radiation intensity, the monthly distribution characteristics of atmospheric transmissivity and target-background contrast in east China sea area and northwest area at 3.9 μm and 9.2 μm are analyzed by the MODTRAN mode. In order to study the comprehensive influence of actual atmosphere and aerosol on target-background radiation transmission, a further research about the influence of aerosol effect on the distributions of atmospheric transmissivity and target-background contrast at 3.9 μm and 9.2 μm is carried out combined local region monthly average environmental parameters. The result shows that the atmospheric parameters of atmospheric temperature and water vapor mixing ratio have influence on the distributions of atmospheric transmissivity and target-background contrast. The target-background contrast in east China sea area is always lower than that in northwest area. The target-background contrast at 3.9 μm is not only lower than that of 9.2 μm in the two areas, but also suffers more aerosol attenuation. Therefore, the 9.2 μm is highly recommended as the working wavelength in the target identification..

In this method, the radiation intensity information of targets located in oxygen A absorption band and its left and right band shoulders is collected by three narrow band filters. Experiments are carried out to measure the average transmission of oxygen A absorption band in the external field, and a photomultiplier tube is used as the photoelectric converter. A line-by-line integral model for oxygen A absorption band transmission is built， and the feasibility of the proposed method is verified when we compare the experimental results with the theoretical results. The contrast results show that the measurement error of oxygen A absorption band average transmission is from 0.146% to 1.576% within the range of 100-400 m, which proves the feasibility of the proposed method..

Based on the propagation model of optical pulse in doped fiber, the split-step Fourier method is used to numerically study the generation and the transmission of Peregrine soliton in doped fiber. Based on the Peregrine soliton solution, the generation and the transmission of Peregrine soliton in doped fiber are discussBased on the propagation model of optical pulse in doped fiber, the split-step Fourier method is used to numerically study the generation and the transmission of Peregrine soliton in doped fiber. Based on the Peregrine soliton solution, the generation and the transmission of Peregrine soliton in doped fiber are discussed. The peak pulses of Peregrine soliton are extracted, the background waves are eliminated, and the transmission characteristics of high peak pulses are discussed. The results show that, when it is transmitted in doped fiber, the Peregrine soliton generates a high peak single pulse that is localized temporally and spatially, and then the high peak pulse splits rapidly to produce multiple sub-pulses. The saturated energy and the pulse peak intensity increase with the increasing small signal gain, the pulse width declines with the increasing gain, and the spatial separations of the excited sub-pulses are gradually reduced. When the background wave of the high peak pulse is eliminated, the pulse can be transmitted stably in doped fiber, the pulse width presents breath-type periodic change with periodic oscillation of the pulse intensity, and the average value of the pulse intensity is gradually increasing..

Both the mode dependent loss (MDL) and the insertion loss (IL) are key parameters which effect the device performance. The condition number of matrix can characterize the performance of optical sampling coupler. The optical sampling coupler which supports all-optical MIMO signal with three linear polarization modes (LP01, LP11a, LP11b) is numerically investigated. Under the condition of three sampling points, the condition number of matrix is used as the optimization condition to optimize the size and the position of sampling spots. MDL can be reduced to 0.03 dB and IL can be reduced to 1.90 dB. In order to further reduce the IL, the number of sampling points is increased. MDL is 0.04 dB and IL is 1.56 dB after the optimization for the size and the position of sampling spots. Although IL can be reduced when we increase the number of sampling points, an optimal number of sampling points exists under the geometric constraints of few mode fibers and sampling points..

Influence of Spatial Phase Aberration on Heterodyne Non-Imaging Array Detector
Dong Hongzhou, Liu Yong, Yang Chunping, Ao Mingwu, and Wu Jian
Taking the mismatch angle between signal and local oscillator beams as an example, we analyze the influence of spatial phase aberration on the heterodyne non-imaging array detector based on theoretical derivation and numerical calculation, and compare the array detector with the single detector with the same size. The Taking the mismatch angle between signal and local oscillator beams as an example, we analyze the influence of spatial phase aberration on the heterodyne non-imaging array detector based on theoretical derivation and numerical calculation, and compare the array detector with the single detector with the same size. The research results reveal that the attached phase term of the signal output from detector element will severely affect the performance of the non-imaging array detector. Therefore, when only the spatial phase aberration is concerned, the array detector with a simple linear superposition cannot contribute to the performance improvement of the system. If the attached phase in the signal of detector element is eliminated by a certain method, the non-imaging array detector can increase greatly the signal-to-noise ratio of the heterodyne system even if the aberration is severe. Our results enrich the research of the non-imaging array detector in heterodyne detection and have guiding significance for the application of this technology..

However, the classic high dynamic range image fusion algorithm based on high-precision registration of multiple exposure images cannot deal with the impact of dynamic problems. It fails to realize high dynamic range image fusion when there is a moving target in the exposure images. Therefore, a new high dynamic range fusion algorithm to deal with the dynamic targets is proposed. The derivative optical flow based on color gradient is first utilized to acquire the dynamic target offset of different exposure images, which is caused by the camera shark or the movement of the scenario target. The high dynamic range image fusion weighting function is established by combination of target offset and inverse camera response function, and is applied to the fusion algorithm to tackling the problem of dynamic targets in the high dynamic range images without precise mapping. The experimental results show that without image registration, the proposed algorithm is effective in the fusion of the high dynamic range images with moving targets..

The depth information of microscopic image is used to estimate the probabilistic model of point spread function, and a minimum optimization problem under the Bayesian framework is built. The guided filtering is applied to searching the optimal solution through analyzing the solving scheme of the minimum optimization problem of the maximum posterior probability. The solution scheme of the two guided filtering algorithms is designed for removing ringing and noise, which means the restoration result of the first guided filtering will serve as input of the optimization problem again. Experimental results show that the pixel error rate of recovery result is around 0.04, which increases by 20% compared to those of other commonly used algorithms, and the running time is significantly shortened. The proposed algorithm can be used in assembly of the micro-structures for defocused image blind restoration..

Deep-sky image registration is the most important step in deep-sky image applications. Due to the low efficiency of these existing algorithms based on the triangle similarity, and the hardness of applying algorithms based on star description to deep-sky image registration, an improved efficient triangle similarity algoDeep-sky image registration is the most important step in deep-sky image applications. Due to the low efficiency of these existing algorithms based on the triangle similarity, and the hardness of applying algorithms based on star description to deep-sky image registration, an improved efficient triangle similarity algorithm is proposed and applied in the deep-sky image registration. Firstly, the proposed method analyzes the single pixel intensity and star size histograms of detected stars, and divides the stars into stable and normal stars. Then, the triangles are constructed for stable star or normal star with its nearest two stable stars respectively. Finally, by introducing the degree of similarity, the improved voting matrix is used in triangle matching. During this step, an adaptive threshold calculation method is also proposed to measure the triangle similarity. Experimental results show that the proposed method greatly enhances the star matching efficiency, reduces the resources requirement and guarantees the high level of matching precision..

The infIn the ghost imaging, a pseudo-thermal light source is generated by illuminating a diffuser with coherent light. However, in the X-ray region, the incident light of a pseudo-thermal light source is partially coherent, and the spatially partial coherence of the light has a great influence on the imaging quality. The influence of the X-ray partial coherence on the second order correlation function of pseudo-thermal light source is analyzed theoretically using the Gaussian Schell model. The simulation results based on the statistical optics are also given. Both the theoretical and simulated results show that the visibility and resolution of the ghost imaging are influenced by the X-ray spatial coherence. In the case of limited spatial coherence, the visibility of X-ray Fourier-transform ghost imaging can be improved by using a pinhole in front of the diffuser, and the width of the pinhole should be equal to the transverse coherent length of the X-ray. It will be beneficial to achieve the wide applications of X-ray Fourier-transform ghost imaging..

Spectral CT based on photon counting detector is a hot research topic in recent years. As the energy spectrum channel narrows, the noise increases in each energy spectrum channel. In order to reduce the noise in the channels effectively, the Split-Bregman algorithm based on the total variation minimization is used for spectral CT image reconstruction. The spectral range is divided into different channels according to the prior information of the reconstructed model. The reconstructions are conducted for the projection data with noise and sparse angle based on the Split-Bregman algorithm. The simulation results show that the spectral CT image reconstruction based on the Split-Bregman algorithm can reduce the influence of the noise in spectral channels effectively, and satisfying the requirement of substance distinguishing..

A new methoMaximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is the optimal estimator for target micro-motion feature parameter extracting. However, the grid search will cause the enormous computational amount, and the cost function of laser detection of micro-Doppler echo signals has high nonlinearity and exists many local maxima. A new method combining the mean likelihood estimation and the Monte Carlo method is proposed to solve this problem. A closed-form expression of maximum likelihood parameter estimation is derived. Then the compressed likelihood function is designed to obtain the global maximum. The parameters are estimated by Monte Carlo method sampling and calculating the circular mean value. The dependence of hight accurate initial values and the complex iteration algorithms are avoided in this method, and the joint estimation of parameters can be realized. Furthermore, for multi-component micro-Doppler signal, the presented algorithm can separate the micro-motion component signals at the same time with the estimations, which will not add complexity of algorithm. Applied to the simulated and experimental data, the proposed method achieves similar performance as MLE with less computational complexity. Meanwhile, this method guarantees the global convergence and realizes signals separation and parameters estimation..

The results show that the vapor cell has no effect on the polarization state of linearly polarized light when the light beams pass through the cell center, and the incident plane is parallel or perpendicular to the polarization orientation. While the other positions will produce a certain rotation, and the rotation angle varies with the positions. For the ideal vapor cell with the external diameter of 12 mm and thickness of 0.9 mm, the theoretical rotation is up to 0.08° when a position is off center of 0.7 mm. Therefore, the effect of polarization rotation should be considered, when using the spherical alkali vapor cell as a central element of the instrument..

The maximum plasma concentration of 1.8943×1016 cm-3 appears at 0.05 mm away from the grinding wheel surface, and the plasma shielding effect is so small that it can be ignored in the actual process. The experimental results have the same order of magnitude with the numerical simulation results, which verifies the correctness of the plasma physical model. The research results offer guidance to the optimization of pulsed laser ablation process..

The results show that, after LP, the maximum plastic deforming depth of sample surface reaches 33.7 μm, and the maximum fatigue life enhancement of the alloy reaches 188%. With the increase of laser power density, the surface residual compressive stress induced by laser shock wave increases, but the amplification decreases gradually. After the fatigue test, the release of the surface residual stress of 52% appears. The grain refinement phenomenon is found on the sample surface after LP, and the refining depth reaches 175 μm. The interaction among the dislocation sliding, dislocation climbing and twin crystal results in the generation of subgrains, and eventually the grain structure is refined..

The thickness of GO films is optimized by adjusting the spin speed, and the effect of GO thickness on the performance of solar cells is investigated. Based on this, the performance of solar cell devices is further improved by using such methods as ultraviolet ozone (UVO) and annealing treatments. The results show that when the temperature of UVO and annealing treatments reach 250 ℃, the OPV devices achieve the highest power conversion efficiency of 3.16%, which is close to the result using a classical poly (3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene): polystyrene sulfonic acid (PEDOT: PSS) material. This result has indicated that GO, with such advantages as low-cost, solution processing, and excellent light transmittance, will become a promising and effective material for hole transport layer in OPVs..

The transverse resolution degrades away from the focal plane. Interferometric synthetic aperture microscopy (ISAM) is a three-dimensional image reconstruction algorithm, which can make the out-of-focus image clearer, and a resolution in all planes that is equivalent to the resolution at the focal plane can be obtained. At the same time, the contradiction between the transverse resolution and the imaging depth in the SDOCT system can be solved. The principle of ISAM and its possible applications are introduced and the comparison between the reconstructed images by the traditional SDOCT method and the ISAM is performed. The nonuniform fast Fourier transform (NUFFT) algorithm is applied in ISAM. Experimental results show that the NUFFT can greatly reduce the operation time, improving the performance of real-time and high-resolution SDOCT system..

Detailed algorithm design for constructing collimating lens model is presented as well. A freeform surface is a surface that is rotationally symmetric around a central axis. The 2D contour of this surface is constructed on the basis of non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) method and by ProE software. Through Monte Carlo ray tracing simulation, it is found that, compared with conventional single freeform surface collimating lens, double freeform surface collimating lens has greatly enhanced the illumination uniformity as well as the energy utilization.

But current usual catadioptric omnidirectional view system with a conical surface mirror have the problem that the detection ranges under different vertical pitch angles are greatly different. The detection range of catadioptric omnidirectional view infrared imaging system is related with the target dimension, task criteria, and resolutions of azimuth and pitch angles. In this paper, the geometric mean of the resolutions of pitch and azimuth angles is set as a constant, which is considered as the condition of the constant detection range in the catadioptric omnidirectional view system. Then, the corresponding system design method is deduced. The data simulation results verify the realizability of the constant detection range system. What′s more, the results show that the proposed method not only obtains the same detection range under different vertical pitch angles, but also makes the detection ranges in most of the field of view range better than those in the traditional catadioptric omnidirectional view systems with conical surface mirror by reasonable parameter adjustment..

The principle of the DBCP is analyzed by utilizing the electromagnetic wave theory and light wave transmission theory, and a suitable wedge angle of the DBCP is schemed out based on the formula of polarized light propagation in birefringent crystal. The depolarization performance of the DBCP is worked out with a set-up polarization testing device. The results show that the DBCP has a better depolarization performance within the incidence angle range of -15～15 ℃. When the wedge angle is 6°, the depolarizer can realize depolarization at detection band with degree of depolarization better than 99%. Which is independent of the azimuth angle and frequency, and without affecting the imaging quality. Furthermore, the DBCP has many advantages, such as high degree of depolarization, high transmittance, stable performance and small volume. The uncertainty of measurement is 0.00290, because of the systems error..

It is found that the relaxation characteristics of surface waves change from exponential decay to oscillation decay, and the dispersion equation for fluid surface waves makes a fundamental change when the waves step over the extreme point (Y ≈ 0.145) with the increasing of dimensionless number Y. To verify the correctness of the proposed result, the relaxation and viscosity-temperature characteristics of fluid di iso decyl phthalate (DIDP) with high viscosity fluid by using surface light scattering method while the temperature is in the range of 286.27-373.32 K. The results show that Y value decreases with the increase of the temperature. When Y<0.145, surface waves decay in exponential form and do not spread. The average deviation of measured viscosity and the viscosity in the reference is within ±1.5%. When Y>0.145, surface waves spread with oscillation decay form. The average deviation of measured viscosity and the viscosity in the reference is within ±2%. When Y→0.145, measured viscosity deviation increases sharply, and we cannot get reliable fluid viscosity. The present work will be helpful to understand the relaxation characteristics of high viscous fluid surface wave and offer the theoretical background for accurate and reliable measurement of the viscosity of high viscous fluid with surface light scattering method..

The radiative properties of Ni foamThe experiment involves normal-hemisphere reflectance/transmittance from foam slices with different thickness at incident wavelength of 0.4-2.2 μm. The pore-scale radiative transfer simulation is modeled with Monte Carlo method applied in foam reconstruction from computed tomography. The radiative properties of Ni foam obtained from experiment and simulation are compared and the pore-scale distributions of radiative properties are analyzed. The results show that the pore-scale radiative transfer model is valid to simulate the radiative properties of Ni foam. The absorptance decreases and reflectance increases as the incident wavelength becomes longer. With samples thick enough, the absorptance increases to a stable value, while the transmittance decreases to zero. In addition, the pore-scale distributions of radiative properties are strongly dependent on the local structure. With incident wavelength of 1.5 μm, the absorptance in void pores is 1.5 times of that on solid skeletons. However, the reflectance on solid skeletons is 3.7 times of that in void pores..

The spatial properties of the hyperspectral images are analyzed, and the spatial preprocessing is combined with the spectral properties, which makes the anomalous targets in hyperspectral images easier to be detected. Then, the spectral clustering method based on spectrogram division is used to divide the band subsets, and the spectral clustering method has the features of convergence to the global optimal solution and fast speed. The anomalous targets in each band subset are detected with the proposed new space and spectral collaborative sparsity divergence index method. This collaborative sparsity method considers the spatial and spectral properties of the hyperspectral imagery. Final anomaly detection result is obtained by the superposition of the results of each band subset. The real AVIRIS and synthetic hyperspectral imagery data sets are used for simulations. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is robust, and has higher precision and lower false alarm probability..

The applied voltage, the current and the light emission signal are simultaneously recorded by an oscilloscope. Results indicate that the plasma plume is composed of successive fast-moving plasma bullets. Based on collisional-radiative model, the electron density of the plasma plume is investigated by optical emission spectrum in the range from 300 nm to 800 nm. Optical diagnosis shows that the electron density increases with the increasing applied voltage or gas flow rate. However, it decreases with the increasing driving frequency. The vibrational temperature and the rotational temperature of the plasma plume are also studied by optical emission spectroscopy. It is found that both of them increase with the increasing applied voltage or gas flow rate, and decrease with the increasing driving frequency. The aforementioned phenomena are qualitatively explained by analyzing the electric field of discharge..

The absolute phase frequency shift of interference fringes caused by wind speed is small, and the absoluteA Doppler asymmetric spatial heterodyne interferometer can be used to detect Doppler frequency shift of airglow spectrum lines of the O2 band, and thus the wind speed in the high-level atmosphere can be retrieved. The absolute phase frequency shift of interference fringes caused by wind speed is small, and the absolute phase drift caused by system error has significant influence on the wind retrieval precision. Different with the single arm interferometer, the dual-arm interferometer has the absolute phase of its interferograms affected not only by the field-widened prisms and gratings, but also by the thermal expansion of spacers used to produce optical path difference. Therefore, the absolute phase drifts at different temperatures are measured experimentally and simulated numerically, and the reason of absolute phase drift is analyzed. Based on this, a absolute phase drift correction method is proposed. The distance between two linear phase fitting curves under the conditions of zero wind speed and a given wind speed is calculated, the temperature dependent absolute phase drift is corrected, and the wind speed is retrieved accurately. Results show that the measured phase drift fits well with the simulated phase drift. After the absolute phase drift correction, the retrieved wind speed error is 3.5 m/s, which is greatly improved compared with the result before absolute phase drift correction..

The low cost and fitness for the fabrication in general laboratories make bismuth absorption grating favored. A calculating method for fringe visibility in bismuth grating-based XPCI is proposed, and the moire fringe visibilities of bismuth absorption gratings with different thicknesses are calculated through modeling. Results show that fringe visibility increases with the increasing thickness of bismuth structure. The fringe visibility for π phase grating can reach 48% under the 40 kV tube voltage, but only 22% under 60 kV, when the thicknesses of bismuth structure in source gratings and analyzer gratings are 150 μm and 110 μm, respectively. Furthermore, when the bismuth structure thicknesses of the two absorption gratings are equivalent, fringe visibilities are obtained by use of the π phase and π/2 phase gratings, respectively. Their quantitative comparison shows that the result of employing π/2 phase grating is slightly better than that of π phase grating. The quantitative calculation of fringe visibility will be beneficial to the design of grating-based XPCI system, which may promote the practicality of this technology..
