Model of Microwave Electromagnetic Scattering at Two-Dimensional Improved Fractal Sea Surface
Chen Yu, Hu Yun′an, Wang Hongwei, and Wei Jianming
Aimed at the problem that the ominidirectional sea-wave spectrum of fractal sea-wave model could not satisfy the positive power law when spatial wave numbers is smaller than the fundamental wave number, a 2-D sea-wave model is proposed by combining statistical sea model and normalization band-limited Weierstrass-Mandel
Aimed at the problem that the ominidirectional sea-wave spectrum of fractal sea-wave model could not satisfy the positive power law when spatial wave numbers is smaller than the fundamental wave number, a 2-D sea-wave model is proposed by combining statistical sea model and normalization band-limited Weierstrass-Mandelbrot fractal sea-wave model. Sea surfaces of statistical model, classical fractal model and the improved model are compared. Electromagnetic scattering coefficient of the improved model based on the Kirchhoff approximation is derived. The angular distributions of incoherent scattering intensity coefficient of statistical model, classical fractal model and improved model are compared, and incoherent scattering intensity coefficient of improved model is analyzed based on different frequency and wind direction in microwave band. Analytical results show that sea surface have both characters of large-scale turbulent waves and micro-scale capillary wave and the electromagnetic scattering of improved model can comply better with the practical situation of sea surface..

A technique for using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation in FSO is studied, the bit error rate (BER) performance of FSO-OFDM modulation system over Gamma-Gamma atmospheric turbulence is analyzed. Under different atmospheric turbulence intensity, the BER of OFDM modulation system is compared with on/off keying (OOK) modulation system. The simulation results show that OOK modulation system and OFDM modulation system are deteriorating with the strengthening of turbulence intensity, under different atmospheric turbulence intensity, the BER performance of 4QAM-OFDM modulation system is better than 16QAM-OFDM modulation system and OOK modulation system..

To solve the problem of long focal-plane-light-measuring time in ultra-high resolution CCD imaging system, an acceleration method is proposed. Pixel binning technology is adopted in this method to speed up the pixel output rate, the ratio of current integration time to minimum integration time is used as binning number of rows. In the light measuring period, the system uses the minimum integration time to expose the CCD, read out binned the pixel charge packets and calculate the average gray level and histogram for the auto exposure control arithmetic to use. This method can significantly reduce both integration time and pixel readout time, and maintain the original average gray level and histogram. The experiment results prove the performance of this method by compressing the light measuring time to 30% below. This method can be widely used in ultra-high resolution CCD light measuring process..

To solve the problem that the resolution of the millimeter-wave passive imaging is low, a new effective super-resolution algorithm is proposed. Wiener filtering algorithm is improved, and the low-frequency components are restored. The low-frequency components of instead of the pass-band with spectrum component is put to making full use of the information in the image and make it self-adaptive. Then the adaptive Wiener filtering and regular maximum a posteriori (MAP) super-resolution algorithm which can extrapolate high-frequency component are combined. The regular MAP iterative algorithm is used to obtain extrapolated high-frequency components, the frequency domain correction is conducted for Fourier transform of the image, and inverse transform of the image is carried out for further correction, the above process is performed successesively until the resolution of the image is improved. The new adaptive super-resolution algorithm is tested through the simulation experiments. The simulation results show that the new algorithm can enhance the resolution, improve the peak value signal-to-noise ratio and has fast convergence. The visual effect is superior to the other two algorithms; which indicate that the new algorithm is effective..

The configuration of torus sparse aperture is introduced, and its modulation transfer function (MTF) is derived from its pupil function. MTF is simulated by Matlab software under different internal and external diameter ratios of torus sparse aperture; an example of torus sparse aperture is designed by Zemax software, from which the MTF is obtained and compared with the above simulation results; the imaging capability of torus sparse aperture is evaluated using the standard discrimination plate as the target object. The results show that the cut-off frequency of torus sparse aperture depends on the external diameter, and the MTF curves become steeper in low frequency area as the internal and external diameter ratio e increases. Imaging results also reveal that images′ peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) decreases when the ratio e increases, and images′ details are enhanced with their contour information being kept in a better way when the fractional differential operator is utilized to enhance the image quality..

The relation between structure of entrance pupil of Golay3 telescope system and F-number of primary mirror is analyzed. Point spread function (PSF) and modulation transfer function (MTF) of telescope system are derived through entrance pupil function which considers the tilt error of one submirror; The effect of tilt error on PSF and MTF is simulated by Matlab program; a example of Golay3 telescope is designed by Zemax software, the PSF and MTF of the system are obtained with tilt error in a submirror, and compared with the theoretical simulation results. Finally, Golay3 telescope′s imaging capability is evaluated under different tilt error value with a standard board as the object. According to the result of the Zemax software, the change of both PSF and MTF of Golay3 telescope system because of tilt error is consistent with that of the theoretical simulation. When the peak-to-valley value of tilt wavefront is smaller than one wavelength, both the main lobe and the side lobes of PSF and MTF pattern vary enormously, the direction of the variation depends on the position of the submirror with tilt error. When the peak-to-valley value of tilt wavefront exceeds one wavelength, both the PSF and MTF remain unchanged basically. The imaging results show that with the increase of tilt error of the submirror in x direction, the maximal recognizable line pairs in y direction changes dramatically..

Aimed at focusing precision problems under a strong shot noisy background image, the processing of focusing evaluation function is deeply studied. Based on the experiment of conventional image sequences, sum of modified laplacian (SML) and laplacian focusing evaluation functions have better performance. Aimed at strong shot noisy image sequence, an algorithm is provided that this image sequence is implemented with median filtering. Then this sequence is over-segmented using the watershed algorithm in order to obtain area blocks. The pixel value is substituted by the mean value of this area block, which can reduce the shot noise′s influence. Finally, this image sequence is processed by SML or laplacian focusing evaluation function. Experimental results show that this processing′s accuracy is close to the image sequence without strong shot noise. This algorithm has good robustness..

Based on an electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) optical setup with one illuminating light sensitive to out-of-plane displacement, a method is presented for three-dimensional deformation measurement by using the combination of digital speckle correlation method (DSCM) and ESPI. One speckle pattern before deformation is captured by a CCD camera without a reference light. The reference light is used and an ESPI system is constructed. The out-plane displacement component can be measured after the test object is deformed by using phase shifting technique in the ESPI system. Another speckle pattern is captured without reference light after deformation. The in-plane displacement components can be obtained by using DSCM from the two speckle patterns, one obtained before deformation and another after deformation. In this way the measurement of the three-dimensional displacement of an object is completed. A typical three-point-bending beam experiment is carried out by the method proposed. Experimental results show that the three displacement components can be obtained effectively. The deformation measurement system is simple and useful for it has a simple setup and easy operation..

According to the detector temperature response characteristics and blackbody radiation characteristics of the medium wave and long wave band, the reasons for NETD test result differences under different test conditions are explained theoretically. At the same time, experimental result shows that NETD with the same band and the different optical calibers change little, while NETD with different bands and the same optical caliber change very much. The experimental results also confirm that only the F number in all the parameters of the optical system, is relative to NETD..

Transverse modes of TEM00, TEM01, TEM10, TEM11, TEM20, TEM21, TEM30 and TEM31 are obtained by adjusting the cat-eye cavity laser. And then, four kinds of ASLPVB, whose polarization orders and initial azimuthal polarization angles are (+1,0°), (+1,-90°), (-1,0°) and (-1,90°) respectively, are further achieved by modes superposition using the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The transmitted intensities of generated beams passing through a linear polarizer are further measured using a CCD, which verify the polarization properties of generated vector beams. Various forms of ASLPVB can also be generated using such method in one system, which does not need special optical components, costs least and operates easily..

The study is to observe the effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) mediated with new photo sensitizer (5-aminolevulinic acid, ALA) in Fischer 334 rats with 9L glioma glioma and explore its mechanisms. Twenty Fischer 334 rats are implanted 9L cells to brain and randomly subjected to no treatment and PDT treatment (40, 80, 120 J/cm2). After 7-day implantation, rats with PDT treatment are injected ALA at the dose of 300 mg/kg and then receive PDT treatment for 3 h, respectively. All animals are sacrificed after 7-day PDT treatment and the tumor size is measured by Hematoxylin-Eosin (H-E) staining. Immunohistochemical staining for Ki67 and TUNEL staining are used to detect the proliferation of tumor cells and apoptosis, respectively. Different doses of ALA-PDT treatment significantly improves the decreased living status induced by glioma, and significantly reduces gliomas size. These effects depend on the dosage of PDT in some range, but between the two high doses (80 J/cm2 and 120J/cm2), the therapeutic effect has no significantly difference. By detection of tumor cell proliferation and apoptosis respectively, ALA-PDT treatment can lead apoptosis of tumor cells but has no effect on cell proliferation. ALA-PDT can suppress the development of glioma by induction of apoptosis of tumor cells..

The results of sample test show that the sensitivity is (-30.7±0.3) dBm in high temperature, (-31.3±0.2) dBm in normal temperature, (-31.2±0.2) dBm in low temperature. Optical power in normal temperature is (2.0±0.5) dBm with clear eye diagram. The results show the PLC opto-electronic integrated device has good stable performance..

The microlens with variable focal length is a novel microoptical component, which has wide potential application in the optical fields. A novel approach for tunable bifocal microlens has been proposed in this work, which is based on tunable refractive index resulting from Kerr effect in blue-phase liquid crystal. The finite element method has been used to simulate the controllable performance of tunable bifocal microlens, including the distribution of electric field, refractive index and optical field along propagation direction. The numerical calculation results show that the focused position of bifocal microlens can be effectively regulated by the changing of external applied voltage, which exhibits good optical performance. The presented microlens has many advantages, such as simple structure, easy to fabricate, easy to integrate with other photonic components, fast tuning speed and independence of optical polarization, which has a good potential application prospect in micro-optical system..

To improve the performances of thin-film solar cells, particles swarm optimization and the finite-difference time domain algorithm are combined to optimize the structural parameters of the metal nanogratings on the surface of solar cells. A test for the short circuit current over the solar spectrum shows an enhancement up to 39% when comparing with bare thin film cell. Absorption improvement and quantum efficiency enhacement in different polarization mode are analysed. Analytical results show that, the guided-wave modes coupled in the absorbing layer by metal nanogratings, surface plasmon polaritons supported by metal nanogratings and Fabri Pérot resonance in the absorbing layer lead to the performance improvement in thin-film solar cells..
