By comparison of the aerosol extinction coefficient retrieved by Mie-scattering aerosol lidar and CCD lidar at night, the reliability of the CCD lidar system was verified, and the daytime detection of the CCD lidar system was feasible. Profiles of atmospheric aerosol extinction coefficient for 10-180 m altitude were obtained with high spatial resolution, of which the highest resolution was up to 1 cm. Two cases of aerosol extinction coefficient profiles showed that the aerosol extinction coefficient was not monotone decreasing in vertical direction, at the same time, changed violently in the day. The spatio-temporal evolution of aerosol extinction coefficient retrieved by CCD lidar showed that the overall aerosol had a tendency to reduce as the day getting dark. The daytime detection of aerosol extinction coefficient profile by using CCD lidar is credible and fulfilled..

Each channel is set up with low, middle or high gain according to the echo intensity from different water depth. Afterwards, a data stitching method and a new fitting approach with the combination of pentagonal and Gaussian function are applied to each three-channel waveform to estimate the depth of water. The multi-channel processing structure was verified on the simulated data sets obtained from the existing Wa-LID waveform simulator. The simulated result has shown that the effective input signal is up to 86.9 dB dynamic range in this new processing technique, and the measured depth reaches 26 m. The bias of the bathymetry estimates is ranging from 1.6 to 4.7 cm with the standard deviation better than 1.1 cm. This multi-channel processing technology can be effectively used in ALB..

The dark current is less than 10 nA at 0.95Vb (Vb is the avalanche breakdown voltage), and the capacitance density is as low as 1.43×10-8 F/cm2 when the bias voltage is -5 V. The response range of APD is 50 nW~20 mW and the responsibility is up to 1.13 A/W under 1 310 nm infrared laser at 30 V reverse bias voltage.

Measurement of relation humidity is performed with the fiber loop cavity ring-down spectroscopy system, and the change of relation humidity is gained by recording the ring-down time τ of light pulse in the fiber loop. Results indicate that a good linear relationship is met between relation humidity and τ in the range of 30% to 100%. The sensitivity and accuracy of the fiber loop cavity ring-down spectroscopy system are 3.826 79 μs/RH and 0.994 77 respectively. So it can be employed for the fields of industrial detection, environmental inspection and medical diagnosis..

The sensor is fabricated by splicing a length of 10 mm Polarization Maintaining Fiber (PMF) in the middle of ordinary Single Mode Fibers (SMF), stretching the PMF down to microscale with diameter of 8.33 μm A highly sensitive microfiber ammonia (NH3) sensor was fabricated by means of flame melting taper in this paper. The sensor is fabricated by splicing a length of 10 mm Polarization Maintaining Fiber (PMF) in the middle of ordinary Single Mode Fibers (SMF), stretching the PMF down to microscale with diameter of 8.33 μm by using optical fiber melt tapering machine. Based on the principle of Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI), this structure utilizes the interaction of PMF core and cladding modes to achieve inter-mode interference. When the NH3 concentration changes in the external environment, the evanescent field in the cone area changes. By detecting the wavelength shift of the transmission spectrum, the concentration of ammonia can be measured by fabricated sensors in this paper. The experimental result shows that the sensor has a quadratic corelation to ammonia concentration in the range of 8 ppm-56 ppm, and the wavelength shift about 5nm in the direction of the long wave. The experimental result also shows that the sensor has a linear corelation to ammonia concentration with sensitivity of 176.08 pm/ppm in the range of 32 ppm-56 ppm. The sensor has the advantages of small size, easy fabrication and high sensitivity making it a good candidate for NH3 sensor in different fields..

The strain and temperature response mechanisms of cladding mode and Bragg resonance are analyzed. The matrix equation is established through monitoring the cladding modes and Bragg resonance wavelength shift on the reflection spectrum, so that the simultaneous measurement of strain and temperature is achieved. The experimental results indicated that the temperature sensitivity of cladding mode and Bragg resonance are 49.4 pm/℃ and 11.0 pm/℃, respectively. The strain sensitivity of cladding modes is 1.05 pm/με and the strain sensitivity of Bragg resonance is 0.651 pm/με. The four parameters show good linearity. Since the compound structure has low-order cladding modes and core modes, it is insensitive to the environment and can play an important role in the field of strain and temperature simultaneous measurement..

The results show that the time delay and pulse broadening depend on the gain, energy and FWHM of the triangular pulses. The maximum time delay increases with the injected pulses energy decreasing. Smaller FWHM of pulse induces larger relative time delay. The maximum time delay and less pulse broadening can be obtained by optimizing the gain, energy, and FWHM of injected triangular wave Stocks pulses. These results provide reference for designing novel optical communication or sensing components..

In the protocol, two communication parties firstly construct a PPM frame consisting of M consecutive weak pulses, then combine the BB84 polarization encoding and PPM encoding schemes to operate high dimensional encoding, and finally sift out the secure key with the legal PPM frame, the successful Bell-state measurement results, and matched bases. The numerical results show that the PPM-MDI-QKD protocol outperforms MDI-QKD protocol when the intensity of signals is less than 0.13. Moreover, compared with 404 km, the longest distance reported so far, the transmission distance can theoretically be extended to 480 km and the key rate up to 5.4×10－4 bps in 404 km, with the same parameters..

The relation between the camera rotation angles and the movements of point’s image coordinates is derived based on camera projection model and coordinates transformation. The rotation angle is calculated by the data from gyroscope, thus the search window size could be obtained; then by using the SURF feature extraction algorithm to extract the feature points, the feature matching is conducted in the search window which avoids global searching and accelerates the matching speed by reducing computation. The experiment platform was built to verify the algorithm. The result shows that 31% running time was reduced compared to the traditional global matching..

By simply adjusting the polarization angle of Polarization Controller (PC), the experiment not only obtained a stable single-soliton pulse, but also observed the pulse sequences of the two-soliton, three-soliton and four-soliton. Increase the pump power under polarization maintaining operation, the evolution of soliton energy quantization is also obtained. The weak birefringence effect in the cavity is important for limiting the gain bandwidth and inducing the generation of multi-soliton. Adjusting the PC is equivalent to changing the gain in the cavity, which is the main reason for the formation of different multiple pulses states. We believe that the results obtained will be helpful in the investigation of multi-soliton pulses dynamics in 2 μm mode-locked fiber lasers..

By recording the time series, power spectra and optical spectra of three longitudinal modes (“mode －3”, “mode 0”, and “mode 13” ) in the weak-resonant-cavity Fabry-Perot laser diode, the nonlinear dynamical states have been determined. The results show that, after introducing optical injection, through varying injection strength and frequency detuning, the three longitudinal modes can exhibit four-wave mixing, period one, quasi-period, chaos, and stable injection-locking, and the dynamical evolution route is from quasi-period to chaos. Moreover, in order to control the dynamical state accurately, we draw the dynamical state mappings of the three longitudinal modes in the parameter space of injection strength from 0 μW to 450 μW and frequency detuning from －16 GHz to 16 GHz. The results demonstrate that the chaotic region can be observed in the positive and negative frequency detuning for “mode 0” and “mode 13”, but cannot be observed in the negative frequency detuning region for “mode －3”. And there exist two separate stable injection-locking regions for “mode 0”, but there is only one stable injection-locking region for “mode －3” and “mode 13”..

The emission intensity increased by a factor of 4 at room temperature.With low temperature photoluminescence measurement, the peak associated with TeSb donor defects due to Te doping was found, with a peak position of 0.743 eV. In addition, the changing of band edge emission with temperature from 0.796 eV to 0.723 eV was also observed. By comparing the room temperature spectra and low temperature spectra,when the nitrogen plasma etching power was 100 W, the best etching cycle of Te-GaSb was 200 cycles. Moreover, the nitrogen passivation does not changed the emission mechanism of Te-GaSb, but improves the radiative recombination efficiency of the sample..

The complex refractive index of the composites in middle and far infrared band were measured, and its absorption coefficient and normal spectral emissivity in the atmospheric window were calculated and verified by experiment, along with the analysis of its absorption and radiance performance in middle and far infrared. The results show that nano-coppers are adsorbed on the surface of reduced graphene oxide, and its size almost concentrate in 15~25 nm. Due to the different sizes of nano-copper, and reduced graphene oxide together with its surface defects and functional groups, the composites have a strong absorption performance in 8~9.2 μm, 6~6.5 μm, 2~3 μm. Its normal spectral emissivity in 3~5 μm is within 0.65~0.68, but it has a minimum value of 0.53 in 8~9.5 μm, and then stabilize at about 0.58. Their total normal emissivity is 0.66 and 0.59 respectively, which are consistent with the experiment. The composites can be used for infrared absorption, extinction materials and stealthy coatings..

TiO2 nanowire arrays were generated on FTO glass by hydrothermal method, and then the TiO2/MoO3 composite film was prepared through electrodepositing MoO3 coating onto TiO2 nanowire arrays. The formation of TiO2/MoO3 composite films were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. Li+ insertion/extTiO2 nanowire arrays were generated on FTO glass by hydrothermal method, and then the TiO2/MoO3 composite film was prepared through electrodepositing MoO3 coating onto TiO2 nanowire arrays. The formation of TiO2/MoO3 composite films were confirmed by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. Li+ insertion/extraction in LiClO4/PC solution had been studied by electrochemical measurement technologies, and the optical transmittance of the samples in the colored and bleached states were used by UV-Vis NIR spectrophotometer. The parameters of switching time, reversibility, optical modulation and coloration efficiency were obtained. Then, the electrochromic properties were analyzed. The analysis showed that the electrochromic properties of the TiO2/MoO3 composite films were obviously enhanced for comparing with the TiO2 nanowire and MoO3 films. The effects of different thickness MoO3 coating on the discoloration properties of the composite films were studied. The results showed that TiO2/MoO3 composite films with 6 cycles of MoO3 thin films had the best electrochromic performance..

ZHAO Yang-yong, LIU Wei-guo, and XI Ying-xue
Si thin film as planarizing layer were deposited on Reaction Bonded-SiC (RB-SiC) substrate by using RF magnetron sputtering technique. A set of orthogonal experiments were designed and performed to determine an optimized process condition by characterizing the evolution of the quality and surface morphology of the Si fSi thin film as planarizing layer were deposited on Reaction Bonded-SiC (RB-SiC) substrate by using RF magnetron sputtering technique. A set of orthogonal experiments were designed and performed to determine an optimized process condition by characterizing the evolution of the quality and surface morphology of the Si films deposited at various sputtering power, working pressure and Argon flow rate. The planarization was obtained at sputtering power of 120W, working pressure of 1.2 Pa and Argon flow rate of 40 sccm. Then smoothing of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching was performed and the surface reflectivity of samples processed under different treatment stages was investigated by using Lambda 950 spectrophotometer. The results show that the surface roughness Sq of RB-SiC sample under planarization and ICP etching process is reduced from 1.819 nm to 0.919 nm compared with untreated RB-SiC sample, and the surface reflectivity of the sample increased by 2%. Therefore the combinatorial optical polishing technology based planarization with RF magnetron sputtering and ICP etching process can enhance the performance of RB-SiC surface finishing..

WANG Jun, SUN Yan-jun, JI Xue-song, WANG Li, WANG Yue, and LENG Yan-bing
To achieve the photoelectric controllable characteristics of Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) resonant frequency, a photoelectric controllable FSS is put forward in this paper. The photoconductive thin film is used to control the change of the structure size of FSS, so as to realize the controllability of FSS. This thTo achieve the photoelectric controllable characteristics of Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) resonant frequency, a photoelectric controllable FSS is put forward in this paper. The photoconductive thin film is used to control the change of the structure size of FSS, so as to realize the controllability of FSS. This thesis starts from the theory of the photoconductive thin film and the principle of the characteristics that FSS can select frequency. The CST software was used to simulate three kinds of FSS: “tripole” slot-element, “circular” slot-element, “tripole” patch-element, and get the selecting frequency characteristics of different structure sizes. The simulation result shows that, with the changing structure size, the center resonant frequency of the FSS changes from 18 GHz, 25 GHz, and 20.5 GHz to 20.5 GHz, 29 GHz, and 16.5 GHz respectively. Finally, the metallic FSS with the unchanged structure size, and the FSS of the metal and the photoconductive thin film combined, were fabricated by coating, etching, electron beam evaporation and so on. Test the samples and the result shows that the center resonant frequency changes from 18 GHz, 24 GHz, 20 GHz into 20 GHz, 28 GHz, 17 GHz. Compared with the simulation results, the trend is about the same. Ultimately, we can draw the conclusion: in this way, not only can we realize the characteristic of controlling the center resonant frequency, but also we can achieve the conversion of slot-element or patch-element in the structure of FSS..

Such type of surface gap solitons exist only in finite gaps when the lattice depth exceeds a critical value. In the first and second gap, the existence domain of surface gap solitons includes both stable and unstable domains. The critical value of the lattice depth in the second gap is much larger than the critical value of the lattice depth in the first gap. In the first finite gap, if the lattice depth is fixed, the energy flow of surface gap solitons decreases with an increase of the propagation constant, surface gap solitons have short oscillating tails in the lattice region when the propagation constant is increased. For a given propagation constant, the energy flow of surface gap solitons increases with lattice depth increasing, and surface gap solitons can be switched from unstable state to stable state by changing the lattice depth. Unstable surface gap solitons tend to self-bend toward the positive direction of the transverse axis during propagation. The self-deflection angle decreases with an increase of the lattice depth. The trajectory of the main lobe of surface gap soliton is a zigzag curve. In the second gap, surface gap solitons have more tail oscillations, and the unstable domain is close to the upper bound of the existing domain. With the propagation constant increasing, the unstable domain decreases gradually..

A terahertz wave switch based on prism-air-graphene-quartz-Si structure was proposed.

The dielectric constant of grapheme was changed by the applied external voltage , which make the terahertz wave reflectivity dramatically was changed. The plasma resonance mechanism was used to control of reflected terahertz wave intensity and realize the function of terahertz wave switch. Firstly, the influence of air gap distance on terahertz wave reflectivity is studied. The results show that when air gap is 20 μm, the minimum value of terahertz wave reflectance is 68.79%, When air gap is 56 μm, the minimum value of terahertz wave reflectance is reduced to 0.04% and the air gap distance reaches the optimum value. Secondly, the influence of graphene chemical potential on terahertz wave reflectivity was determined. The results show that when the chemical potential of graphene increases from 0 eV to 0.2 eV, the reflectivity of terahertz wave increases from zero to 95.89% and changes from zero to total reflection. The numerical results also further show that the proposed structure has enormous potential for terahertz wave switch with the extinction ratio of 33 dB..

The influence of the slit length, the slit number and the incident angle on the optical transmission of the proposed structure were also investigated. The results domenstrate that surface plsamon polaritons, propagating inside the two slits, produce a cross-talk coupling effect via penetrating into the metallic separation, and hybridize into symmetric and antisymmetric modes, resluting in two resonant peaks and a nearly-zero dip in the transmission spectrum; the essential physics of the plasmonic cross-talk coupling for the two integrated slits is the interference between the transverse electric fields of surface plsamon polaritons within the seperation material, and the original phase difference of transverse electric fields between the two integrated slits determines the type of the surface plasmon polariton hybird modes inside it. Since the transmission extremums are associated with the Fabry-Perot resonance inside each slit cavity of the two integrated nanoslits structure, the slit length determines the wavelengths of the tranmission peaks and dip, while the slit number and the incident angle of plane wave only influence the effciency of the tranmission peaks. The two integrated nanoslits structure posses the functions of optical filtering and spatial color dispersion, which have implications on the field of new functional nanooptic devices..

The propagation properties of the accelerating beam and the modulation of different parameters [the linear factor(s)、the number of total layer (N) and the topological gradient (ΔL)]to the accelerating beam is also studied by theoretical simulation and experiment. The results show that such twins accelerating beam will split itself into several separated Airy-like beams due to the discrete and rotatory effect in propagation; and the separated Airy-like beams evolve into one-dimensional Airy-like beams by adjusting the propagation distance and ΔL. Furthermore, s and N can modulate the intensity distribution of twins accelerating beam and the space distribution of twins accelerating beam in initial plane (the plane x-y at z=0), respectively; ΔL also can modulate the intensity distribution of separated Airy-like beams..

Under the condition of dust, the variety of the visibility, transmissivity and attenuation with particle mass concentration was analyzed.The curve of visibility along with particle mass concentration at wavelength of 0.55 μm was given, and the calculation results of Mie theory and Monte Carlo method were compared. The results show that the visibility drops rapidly and then decreases slowly and tend to be about 2km with the increase of particle mass concentration.The higher the particle concentration is, the more obvious the phenomenon of multiple scattering is,and the visibility calculated by Monte Carlo method is higher than Mie theory. In the several selected wavelengths, the laser transmission attenuation at wavelengths of 7.46 μm is minimal under the condition of dust,so it is the most suitable for wireless laser communication on Mars..
