Sang Tian, Cai Tuo, Liu Xiaochun, and Cai Shaohong
By using the effective medium theory, thin film theory, rigorous coupled-wave analysis, and elaborated root finding method, the spectral properties of one-dimensional subwavelength gratings are investigated by using different expressions of the effective refractive index. By using the defined error function of the specBy using the effective medium theory, thin film theory, rigorous coupled-wave analysis, and elaborated root finding method, the spectral properties of one-dimensional subwavelength gratings are investigated by using different expressions of the effective refractive index. By using the defined error function of the spectra, the validation of other effective refractive indices is evaluated by using the rigorous refractive index in both cases of TE and TM modes. For the given grating parameters, it is shown that the second order effective refractive index and the exact effective refractive index can provide solid results in estimating the spectral properties of one-dimensional subwavelength gratings for TE mode when the normalized grating period Λ/λ is less than 0.30. For TM mode, the effective refractive indices cannot give solid estimations because more evanescent waves are excited in this case. In addition, it cannot provide solid estimations by using the effective refractive indices in calculating the spectrum as a function of the grating thickness except the second order effective refractive index and the exact effective refractive index for TE mode..

Lian Qiusheng, and Xia Changcheng

Current research in compressed sensing has devised algorithms for grayscale images, but there are few methods for color images. Since each of the color channels is highly correlated, the result of simply extending the reconstruction algorithm of grayscale images to three channels of color images is not satisfying. Aiming at improving the reconstruction quality of color images, compressed sensing of color images based on local Gaussian model in the dual-tree complex wavelet is proposed, which uses the dual-tree complex wavelet having the property of translation invariance as the sparse representation of natural images. Priors of the inter-cross correlation of three channels of color images and the local neighbor statistic distribution of the wavelet coefficients are applied in reconstruction. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the peak signal-to-noise ratio and the visual quality..

A suApple mealiness is a symptom of internal fruit disorder. Mealiness degrades the quality of apples and reduces their commercial value. Hyperspectral scattering, as a promising technique, combines the advantages of spectroscopy technology and image technology, and can make noninvasive measurement of apple mealiness. A supervised isometric feature mapping (S-Isomap) coupled with support vector machine (SVM) is proposed to detect the mealiness in the apple. S-Isomap is a nonlinear lowering dimension method classifying the dimension reduction of hyperspectral data by SVM. For the unknowned category of the test samples, BP neural network model combined with SVM is used to get the corresponding testing precision. The classification results from S-Isomap-SVM are compared with those obtained using the traditional SVM and Isomap-SVM. The results show that the accuracy of the calibration models obtained with the S-Isomap is higher than that of others..

Optical nanosurface processing defects mainly contain surface damage and subsurface damage. Because of the advantage of non-destructive testing, we analyze the measurement technique of surface scattering theory and white light interferometry. Then the test samples with different processing defects are prepared from different technological conditions, and are measured by three different techniques, such as white light interferometer, atomic force microscopy and surface scattering measuring instrument. Comparison of experimental results show that white light interferometry is an effective measurement means for the measurement of surface roughness and subsurface damage with high precision, high speed and no other damage during the testing..

The model based on experimental equipment contained two types of nozzle bank with three nozzles and four nozzles, respectively. The two-dimensional viscous conservation element and solution element (CE/SE) method was used to calculate the numerical model. The results show that the CE/SE method can simulate the flow process of the high temperature burned gas effectively. The parameters gained from the simulation accord with the experimental data as the flow reaches stable. To a single nozzle, the related parameters(such as pressure and velocity) distribution in the flow field is symmetrical, which can be extended to the nozzle bank with more nozzles..

Liu Shuangyu, Zhang Hong, Liu Fengde, Shi Yan, Xu Chunying, and Wang Yuqi
A CO2 laser-gas metal arc (GMA) hybrid welding technology is used to weld the 7.0-mm-thick high strength steel. The effects of the distance between laser and arc on the weld shape, droplet transfer characteristics, probability density distribution of arc voltages and current are investigated. When the distance between A CO2 laser-gas metal arc (GMA) hybrid welding technology is used to weld the 7.0-mm-thick high strength steel. The effects of the distance between laser and arc on the weld shape, droplet transfer characteristics, probability density distribution of arc voltages and current are investigated. When the distance between the two heat sources is less than the arc plasma radius, the cross-sections are the "cocktail glass" figurate morphology. When the distance between the laser and arc is significantly greater than or approximately the same as the arc plasma radius, the cross-section of weld indicates the "cone-shaped" figurate morphology. When the laser passes through the edge of the arc plasma, the maximum effective joint area is achieved. When the distance of the two heat sources (DLA) is 2~6 mm, probability density distribution of arc current converges toward center and the range of high current and voltage is smaller, which favors the stability of the droplet transfer and hybrid welding processes..

Through working on characteristics analysis of In order to rationally design laser resonator and develop a pulsed all-solid-state slab laser, based on the heat conduction theory, temperature and deformation field in thermal equilibrium state of laser slab side-pumped by pulsed-diode-bar were analytically investigated. Through working on characteristics analysis of laser slab side-pumped by pulsed-diode-bar, a thermal analysis model of laser slab was established. Considering that the pump light intensity of pulsed-diode-bar has super-Gaussian distribution and the laser slab with the characteristics of anisotropic thermal conduction, a general transient temperature field analytical expression of anisotropic thermal conduction laser slab by pulsed-diode-bar side-pumping was obtained by the Poisson equation. The temperature variations of NdYVO4 and NdGdVO4 slab side-pumped by single pulse and repetitive pulse were comparatively analyzed. And the deformations of pump surface of the NdYVO4 and NdGdVO4 slabs in thermal dynamic equilibrium state were quantitatively calculated. The results show that, when the transient temperature field of laser slab reaches thermal dynamic equilibrium state, the maximum and the minimum temperature rise in NdYVO4 slab are 34.8 ℃ and 32.4 ℃, but in NdGdVO4 slab the maximum and the minimum temperature rise are 30.2 ℃ and 27.0 ℃. The maximum and minimum deformations of NdYVO4 slab are 0.98 μm and 0.89 μm, but in NdYVO4 slab the maximum and minimum deformations are 0.29 μm and 0.24 μm..

The results show that transmission modes are mainly decided by the voltage when the incident angle is smaller than 10A tunable photonic crystal filter is proposed with parallel nematic liquid crystal as defect layer. The transmission modes while varying incident angle are discussed in detail by 4×4 matrix method. The results show that transmission modes are mainly decided by the voltage when the incident angle is smaller than 10°. In this region, the transmission modes can be tuned by voltage and different modes can be selected based on polarization sensitive performance. When the incident angle is greater than 10°, the peaks of two modes shift toward the shorter wavelength side and the change of two modes is different. So the transmission modes can be tuned and selected by varying the incident angle in the voltage region of more than 8 V. Both the tunable range and the flexibility of application are enlarged..
