Firstly, the conversion relations of natural resolution and division precision are discussed from error theory perspectives for the analysis of the axis detection system. Afterwards，through the analysis of restricted constraint condition of four-quadrant photoelectric inspection system in atmospheric channel, it is found that the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the beacon light and axis offset are two main technical parameters affecting the electro-optical inspection system. Then a concept is presented that enhancing natural resolution optical-axis detection system can lower the sensitivity of the whole system to the atmospheric channel. Finally, the division precision of axis detection is found to be gravely affected by the atmospheric channel. Axis detection can still provide precision for wireless laser communication if the natural resolution of four-quadrant photoelectric inspection is enhanced..

Cao Jianchao, Yang Yanfu, Zhu Yupeng, and Yao Yong
This paper mainly studies the bias control performance for multiple bias voltages of 16-quadrature amplitude modulation 16-QAM optical transmitter based on IQ optical modulator.

The cooperative control of two Mach-Zehnder modulators′ (MZMs′) bias voltages and Mach-Zehnder interferometer′s (MZI′s) bias voltage is analyzed theoretically. Multiple extreme values of the average output optical power as the monitoring signal of feedback control for two MZMs′ bias voltages are also studied by numerical simulation. The results show that the average optical power of 16-QAM optical transmitter is the extreme value when MZMs′ bias voltages are biased at the null transmission points. This conclusion is unaffected by MZI′s bias voltage, and there does not exist the risk of trapping in local extremum if the amplitude of the driver signal is controlled in the proper range..

The axial force is calculated when the refractive index of inner layer of double-layer sphere is 1.0 and 1.9, respectively, and then the influence of the refractive index of inner layer on optical tweezers trapping force is analyzed. As shown by the calculation results, the influence of different refractive indices and radii of inner layer on trapping force is notable. As the refractive index of inner layer is smaller than that of the outer layer, the stability of optical trapping is improved, but the spatial scale of trapping is reduced. And the performance of optical trapping is reduced as the refractive index of inner layer is larger than that of the outer layer. Analysis conclusion of the force trapping double-layer sphere provides reliable theoretical basis for this kind of sphere used as an optical handle..

Tang Lin, and Tao Shaohua
Images captured from optical holograms printed on goods, documents, personal identity cards, etc. would be distorted due to the imaging quality of the optical system and the influence of shooting conditions. A distortion correction method for the captured optical holograms is proposed. Firstly, an image pre-processing Images captured from optical holograms printed on goods, documents, personal identity cards, etc. would be distorted due to the imaging quality of the optical system and the influence of shooting conditions. A distortion correction method for the captured optical holograms is proposed. Firstly, an image pre-processing technique is used to extract the target hologram and the boundary of the target hologram is determined. Then four vertexes and midpoint positions of the hologram and the corresponding ideal points can be sought automatically. The holograms with projection distortion and nonlinear distortion are corrected by using different polynomial models. Compared with the other methods, the proposed one is simpler and faster, as it does not need the high-precision calibrating module and deals with an object′s hologram only in calibrating and recognizing process. The experiments show that the corrected holograms can be recognized clearly. The proposed method has the advantages of high efficiency, fast speed and high-recognition rate..

A method to realize Gabor in-line phase-shifting digital holography is presented. Based on the characteristic that different spatial frequency components are separate in the spatial frequency domain, a spatial light modulator is placed in the spatial spectrum plane of the 4f system to introduce phase-shift to the zero-frequency component of spatial frequency spectrum, and the corresponding phase-shifting algorithm is utilized to obtain the reconstructed image. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the proposed method can improve the quality of reconstructed image while retaining the original advantages of conventional Gabor in-line holography at the same time..

It requires only one structured fringe pattern to analyze the entire range of the measurement system. Based on the subtraction of the distortion grating phases of the object surface and the reference surface, FTP can measure the height distribution. But in divergent light path the coordinate of the height is only an approximation, so that in precise measurements we need theoretical correction. We analyzed the cause of the height measurement error introduced by the coordinate confusion, and made the first order correction. In experiment, we used bi-color fringe technology, in combination with the Matlab software, to and successfully carried out a quantitative analysis of the error..

The band structure, density of states, partial density of states and optical properties of Mn-doped, N-doped and Mn-N co-doped anatase TiO2 are studied by plane-wave supersoft pseudopotential method based on the density functional theory. Contrasting Mn, N, Mn-N doped anatase TiO2, the results show that N single doped TiO2 effectively makes the band gap decrease from 3.2 eV to 2.83 eV and a Mn single doping results in three impurity levels in the band gap, which reduces the electron transition energy from the valence band to conduction band. While Mn-N co-doped anatase TiO2 crystals lead the Fermi level to move to the conduction band, simultaneously forming impurity level in the valence band top and reducing the band gap. The electronic transition energy is about 2.1 eV (wavelength is 590 nm) from impurity levels to the conduction band, which exactly corresponds to the absorption peak in the absorption spectrum. This will more effectively improve the utilization of the visible light..

The first scheme is based on the axial motion of a lens An athermalization design of switchable dual-field-of-view optical systems for 8～12 μm wavelength band using infrared focal-plane array (FPA) is presented. In order to switch the field-of-view (FOV), two different optical configurations are explored and compared. The first scheme is based on the axial motion of a lens group and the second is based on a rotate-in motion of two widely separated lens groups. It is found that the rotate-in scheme achieves better performance than the step-zoom scheme, but the optical passive athermalization misfits this scheme. The step-zoom scheme is easy to use the optical passive athermalization to achieve lighter weight and smaller volume, and the performance is well for small zoom ratio. Aspheric surfaces are utilized to control aberrations and reduce the total lens cost. The results show that the optical system in the 7.7～9.7 μm wavelength band has a compact structure and can achieve 100% cold shield efficiency. The final optical designs along with their modulation transfer function (MTF) are presented, showing excellent imaging performance in dual FOVs at the temperature range between -60 ℃ and 70 ℃..

The theoretical basis for the existence of the band gap in the photonic crystal is given. We measured the concentration of fructose solution in a two-dimensional triangular lattice photonic crystal using plane-wave expansion method. To get the numerical simulation of photonic band diagram for analysis, we take advantage of the large permittivity of silicon and fructose solution. The results show that the photonic band gap (PBG) of TE mode distinctly broadens with the difference of the concentration of the fructose solution but there is no PBG in TM mode, when fructose solution is used as the dielectric material in the air hole. The results of this study and the proposed method may play a guiding role in clinical applications for helping hyperglycemia patients..

X-ray microscope has the property of providing high resolution. However, it should employ phase contrast for imaging materials consisting of light elements, such as biological samples, because the signal obtained from the penetrating X-rays is very weak and as a result the image contrast is extremely low with increasinX-ray microscope has the property of providing high resolution. However, it should employ phase contrast for imaging materials consisting of light elements, such as biological samples, because the signal obtained from the penetrating X-rays is very weak and as a result the image contrast is extremely low with increasing photon energy and decreasing object size. Several phase contract methods for high-resolution X-ray microscope, including Zernike phase contrast mode, differential interference mode and off-axis holographic mode, are reviewed. Basic principles and main research progresses of these phase contrast microscopic techniques are presented, and their advantages and disadvantages are compared, in an attempt to show potential advantages as well as main challenges of X-ray phase contrast microscopic imaging techniques in detecting internal structures of biological samples..

It is widely used in laser interference measurement, laser differential absorption radar,A tunable single-frequency optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on quasi-phase-matching is an ideal coherent light source with, high efficiency, good coherence, wide tunable spectral range and reliable and stable performance. It is widely used in laser interference measurement, laser differential absorption radar, spectral analysis, optoelectronic countermeasure, laser medicine etc. Due to the wide optical parametric gain and high power pump, most OPOs are often operated in multiple longitudinal modes, and a variety of methods are needed to achieve single-frequency operation. These methods include frequency selection method (such as injection-seed, grating and Fabry-Pérot etalon) and the operation characteristics of the OPO system itself (pump threshold ratio, thermal self-locking effect and thermal waveguide effect). This paper analyzes the realization of tunable single-frequency OPO..
