In this work, the surface treatment of InAs/GaSb type-II super-lattice long-wavelength infrared detectors is studied. An optimizing process of N2O plasma treatment and rapid thermal annealing was developed, which can improve the performance of long-wavelength detector with λ50% ?cut-off=12.3μm from 5.88×10-1A/cm2 In this work, the surface treatment of InAs/GaSb type-II super-lattice long-wavelength infrared detectors is studied. An optimizing process of N2O plasma treatment and rapid thermal annealing was developed, which can improve the performance of long-wavelength detector with λ50% ?cut-off=12.3μm from 5.88×10-1A/cm2 to 4.09×10-2A/cm2 at liquid nitrogen temperature, -0.05V bias. Through variable area device array characterization, the sidewall leakage current was extracted. Under zero bias, the surface resistivity improved from 17.9Ωcm to 297.6 Ωcm. However, the sidewall leakage couldn’t be ignored under large inverse bias after optimizing process, where surface charge might induce the surface tunneling current. It is verified by gate-control structure that there are two main leakage mechanisms in long-wave device: pure sidewall parallel resistance and surface tunneling. At last, the surface charge was calculated to be 3.72×1011cm-2 by IV curve fitting after optimizing process..

The two lasing wavelengths with the separation of 50 nm are generated at different pumping powers using one single gain chip. During the operation of the VECSEL, the thermal rollover of output power is observed twice. The first rollover indicates the first switch of lasing wavelength, which is due to the temperature rise within the gain chip and its tuned gain spectrum. The maximum output power of each emitting wavelength exceeds 1.5 W at 0 °C. The lasing wavelength can be switched between 950 nm and 1000 nm with the change of pump power, and dual-wavelength emission with output power of more than1.5 W is demonstrated. We believe that this kind of switchable dual-wavelength VECSEL device has great application potential as dual-wavelength laser sources for providing technical support for mid-infrared radiation..

Compared with conventional pencil beam, sheet beam has many advantages, such as high beam current and large interaction area. Terahertz science and technology have got rapid development in recent years owing to its high frequency, wide bandwidth, high-speed transmission rate, and other advantages of terahertz waves. As a kind of new-type vacuum electron devices, terahertz sheet beam devices have excellent performance such as high power, high gain, high efficiency, and miniaturization. However, it is difficult for sheet beam to keep stable transport over a long distance due to the existence of Diocotron instability, which cannot lead to fully demonstrating its technical advantages. This paper briefly summarizes the generation, formation, and focusing methods of sheet beam, and then introduces the state-of-the-art of terahertz sheet beam devices.

It can achieve 4-dimensional information acquisition (two-dimensional space + spectrum + time), which is of great significance for application such as dynamic target detection. The current technical means are mainly based on the filter method, and do not have the high-resolution advantage of grating. Uncoupled Slit Array Scan Hyperspectral imager (uSASHI) and Coded Slit Array Scan Hyperspectral imager (cSASHI) are proposed in this paper, both use multiple slits to achieve simultaneous acquisition of multiple fields of view information to improve the information acquisition rate, and enables video-level spectral imaging.

Imaging sensors in medium and long-wave infrared spectrum are extremely expensive. Therefore, for most consumers, remote high-resolution imaging and real-time display in these spectrums are still a challenge. This paper proposes an effective block compressed sensing method called Multi-block Combined Compressed SensingImaging sensors in medium and long-wave infrared spectrum are extremely expensive. Therefore, for most consumers, remote high-resolution imaging and real-time display in these spectrums are still a challenge. This paper proposes an effective block compressed sensing method called Multi-block Combined Compressed Sensing (MBCS) adapting to Focal Plane Array Compressed Imaging system (FPA CI), which combines parallel sampling and fast reconstruction. The high-resolution images can be reconstructed from low-resolution measurement results in real-time using a low-resolution infrared sensor. The results showed that, compared with the traditional CS-based super-resolution method, this method could greatly improve the quality of the reconstructed high-resolution image and achieve a higher reconstruction speed. The optical prototype architecture and construction of the MBCS measurement matrix for the reconstruction model are also discussed. This study evaluated the reconstruction performance in terms of the block size and found that the optimal block size needed to consider both speed and reconstruction quality. Furthermore, the MBCS reconstruction algorithm with GPU acceleration was implemented to improve the image reconstruction speed of the highly parallel image system. In the experiment, the optical system and the strategy of rapid imaging and reconstruction were verified via simulation and optical experiments, which showed that the imaging speed of 512×512 resolution could reach 5 Hz..

For the traditional Fabry-Perot cavity laser, the field perpendicular to cavity wall will be resonantly enhanced until it breaks with the threshold and escapes out of the cavity, while the field emitted obliquely dissipates outside the cavity leading to the low efficiency. Here a high-efficiency laser cavity is proposeFor the traditional Fabry-Perot cavity laser, the field perpendicular to cavity wall will be resonantly enhanced until it breaks with the threshold and escapes out of the cavity, while the field emitted obliquely dissipates outside the cavity leading to the low efficiency. Here a high-efficiency laser cavity is proposed resorting to metamaterials. Based on the multipath positive feedback mechanism, the photons emitted form atoms in any direction can only leak out of the cavity along one direction and no photons run out of the cavity which showed potential for improving the efficiency. Furthermore, this combination of cavity is almost independent of atom position. In addition, we designed a realistic dielectric micro-structure system made of two-dimensional photonic crystals to confirm our proposal. When the gain medium is introduced into the system, the cavity can provide both a lower lasing threshold and a higher maximum emission intensity, compared with the individual zero-index materials cavity, demonstrating improved lasing efficiency..

To further enhance its energy conversion performance, the physical mechanism of opt-electrical conversion and its influence factors need to be analyzed in detail. Therefore, based on the spectral opt-electrical conversion process in the thermophotovoltaic cell, the microscopic carrier transport model in the cell is established. The coupled opt-electrical model is used for the simulation of GaSb thermophotovoltaic cell to explore the effects of spectral characteristics and power intensity of the incident radiation on the cell performance. The results show that under the fixed incident radiation power intensity, the energy conversion efficiency of the cell shows obvious non-monotonicity with the change of wavelength and the peak appears at 1.42 μm. In addition, under the fixed wavelength, with the rise of radiation power intensity, the maximum electrical output power intensity accordingly increases while the rise of the energy conversion efficiency gradually slows down. At 1.42 μm, the rise of the energy conversion efficiency reaches the maximum about 4.85%..

However, the output pulse height of PMT responds to the single photon follows the Gaussian random distribution, and there may produce pile up between different pulses. When using the fixed threshold method to identify the photo-events, the traditional single photon model can not accurately describe the photon detection process of PMT. By analyzing the influence of PMT output pulse height distribution, pulse pile up and the amplitude of photo-event discrimination threshold on the photo-events detection probability, a new PMT photon detection theoretical model was built, and the mode was simplified according to the practical application scene. The applicability of the simplified model was verified by Monte Carlo simulation. The correlation characteristics of the new model in photon-counting ranging are analyzed. A photon-counting LIDAR system is built, compared with Geiger mode APD, the PMT photon detection model has a slight loss of photon detection probability, but it has a smaller ranging walking error and higher ranging accuracy in photon-counting ranging applications. The experiment also proves that the new model is more consistent with the photo-event detection probability of PMT than the traditional single photon detection model. The new model has important guiding significance for the system design and theoretical analysis of PMT photon-counting LIDAR..

Yong-Qiang ZHAO, Jing-Cheng ZHANG, and Xin-Bo QIAO
The images captured by the Division-of-Focal-Plane (DoFP) infrared polarimeters have checkboard effect.

Thus, a polarization demosaicking processing of DoFP images is demanded to recover the full resolution polarization images, based on which, the subsequent tasks are then performed. However, the demosaicking processing is usually time-consuming and may introduce demosaicking errors. To achieve object detection by directly using infrared polarization DoFP image, a polarization-weighted local contrast object detection method is proposed. The difference of polarization characteristics between the object and background is first analyzed. Then, a convolution kernel is designed to calculate the Stokes vector directly from original infrared polarization DoFP images. A polarization-weighted saliency map of the degree of polarization image is also proposed, which is used for object detection with the adaptive thresholding. In addition, an edge detection method is used to refine the target detection results and obtain more complete detection results. The experiment results on the infrared polarization DoFP images dataset demonstrate that the proposed object detection algorithm is robust to the conditions of complex background and bad weather..

Zhong-Peng JI, Yu-Hua GUI, Jin-Ning LI, Yong-Jian TAN, Qiu-Jie YANG, Jian-Yu WANG, and Zhi-Ping HE
Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter (AOTF) based spectroscopy instruments have been widely applied in biomedical, agricultural, aerospace, and other fields. However, the conventional AOTF spectrometers struggle to achieve increased system luminous flux while maintaining spectral resolution and reducing the number of samples. Acousto-Optic Tunable Filter (AOTF) based spectroscopy instruments have been widely applied in biomedical, agricultural, aerospace, and other fields. However, the conventional AOTF spectrometers struggle to achieve increased system luminous flux while maintaining spectral resolution and reducing the number of samples. To address the above problems, this paper proposes an AOTF spectral measurement method based on the compressed sensing (CS) theory. Sparse randomly coded composite optical signal modulation in the spectral domain using the multi-frequency acousto-optic diffraction of AOTF. A modulated composite optical signal is obtained in the spectral domain and recorded sequentially using a single-element detector or a focal-plane detector array. The original spectrum or spectral image data cube is then obtained by using compressed sensing reconstruction algorithms. In order to verify the effectiveness of the present method, we constructed a sensing matrix using the actual measured AOTF spectral response bandwidth data and simulated the effect of compressed sampling and target data reconstruction with the spreading spectrum as the recovery target. The simulation results show that the method can reconstruct the spectral data of 512 wavelength points with 202 compressed samples, and the spectral data sampling rate and compression ratio is 0.39. Under this sampling rate, the method can recover the spectral curve with high accuracy, and the PSNR index reaches 41.75 dB, and the SAM and GSAM indexes are 0.9998 and 0.9754. With the simultaneous multi-frequency drive, the system optical throughput is improved by a factor of 5 on average. Compared with the traditional wavelength-by-wavelength point scan sampling method, this method can reduce the total number of samples and improve the luminous flux of the system while maintaining the original spectral resolution, and also compressing the spectral data, which is of great importance in the fields of weak signal detection, rapid identification of substances, and spectral data transmission and storage..

The device consists of a tapered TM0-TE1 mode converter and a mode splitter with an asymmetric directional coupler (ADC) structure, optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) and the principle of spline interpolation. The device is simulated using the finite difference time domain method (FDTD). The numerical results show: for TE0 mode input, a low insertion loss (<0.007 dB), low crosstalk (<-28.7 dB), and high polarization extinction ratio (>49.1 dB) in the 100 nm (1500~1600 nm) bandwidth is achieved within a device length of only 45μm. On the other hand, for TM0 mode input, a low insertion loss (<0.34 dB), low crosstalk (<-47.1 dB), and high polarization extinction ratio (>15.5 dB) in the whole C-band is achieved.
