Li Fang
The propagation of Laguerre-Gaussian beam in intermediate fluctuation turbulent atmosphere is studied. Using the split-step Fourier method and the phase screen method, the intensity distribution, phase distribution and the spectrum distribution of LG beam are simulated in the case of up-downlink communications path andThe propagation of Laguerre-Gaussian beam in intermediate fluctuation turbulent atmosphere is studied. Using the split-step Fourier method and the phase screen method, the intensity distribution, phase distribution and the spectrum distribution of LG beam are simulated in the case of up-downlink communications path and level communication path respectively. It is found that the atmospheric turbulence will induce the spread of the spiral spectrum. With the increase of the topological charge and refractive index structure constant, the spectrum spread becomes more serious. It is also concluded that the influence of the atmospheric turbulence on the Laguerre-Gaussian beams is smaller in up-downlink communication path than in level communication path..

Cirrus has the effect of radiative forcing which is influenced by the microphysical properties of cirrus. An algorithm for retrieving the microphysical properties of cirrus based on micro-pulse lidar and millimeter wave radar is presented. In the algorithm, lidar extinction coefficient retrieved from backscatter signalCirrus has the effect of radiative forcing which is influenced by the microphysical properties of cirrus. An algorithm for retrieving the microphysical properties of cirrus based on micro-pulse lidar and millimeter wave radar is presented. In the algorithm, lidar extinction coefficient retrieved from backscatter signal intensity and water equivalent radar reflectivity factor are combined to obtain cirrus-cloud ice water content (IWC) and general effective size (GES). A cirrus case in Shouxian is analyzed using the proposed algorithm and the data from micro-pulse lidar and millimeter wave radar. The results show that the IWC and GES are 10-3~10-1 g/m3 and 1~200 μm, respectively, which are consistent with the empirical values. The changes of IWC and GES with time are in accordance with the evolutions of cirrus. The analysis results imply the feasibility of retrieving microphysical properties of cirrus from micro-pulse lidar and millimeter wave radar data..

At present, the ground optical communication is developing very fast, and a variety of difficulties has already been broken through for amplification techniques, especially those based on fiber amplifier have been widely used, and the technology is very mature. As the fiber-type devices are very sensitive to the radiation environment of the space, if the external modulation technology which has been successfully used in ground optical communications is used in space environment, we must consider the feasibility of the erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) which is the core device in the external modulation technology and analyze the corresponding anti-radiation technique. This paper analyzes the space radiation environment and its effect on the performance of EDFA. Approaches including fading center anti-radiation technique, pre-radiation and hydrogen loading active anti-radiation technique and fiber manufacturing technology of anti-radiation technique are proposed to improve the space radiation resistant performance of the EDFA systems. A theoretical basis is provided for the application of EDFA in space optical communications. Through the experimental study, it is found that by adopting the above anti-radiation methods, the radiative decay of 1550 nm erbium-doped fiber (EDF) can be reduced by 0.8 dB/km theoretically..

Position Designated Delivery of Microparticles Using a Submicron Fiber Decorated with Gold Nanorods
Li Ying, and Hu Yanjun
The submicron fiber is fabricated by drawing a single-mode optical fiber through a flame-heated treatment. Gold nanorods (length and middle-section diameter are 80 nm and 20 nm, respectively) are deposited on the designated position of the submicro fiber by the positioning function of optical microscope, and the local The submicron fiber is fabricated by drawing a single-mode optical fiber through a flame-heated treatment. Gold nanorods (length and middle-section diameter are 80 nm and 20 nm, respectively) are deposited on the designated position of the submicro fiber by the positioning function of optical microscope, and the local surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) of gold nanorods is excited by the evanescent wave around the fiber. When the optical power increases to 30 mW, due to strong plasmon absorption and photothermal conversion, a microbubble forms at the position of the fiber decorated with the gold nanorods. Therefore, the laser light at this position is absorbed by plasmon resonance and scattered by the bubble. Optical transmission is not observed behind the bubble. Polystyrene particles (900 nm in diameter) near the fiber can be trapped by the gradient force, and then delivered along the direction of light propagation due to the scattering force induced by the evanescent wave. Once the particles move to the position of the bubble, they will stop their advancing. This technology can be used for targeted delivery of microparticles..

The transmission behaviors of the parabolic-shaped pulse pair in single-mode fiber and dispersion-managed fiber are studied. Simulation results show that there is almost no interaction between the parabolic-shaped pulse pairs transferring in fiber, and the main challenge is to preserve their shape and reduce the interference generated by pulse stretching. The evolution of parabolic-shaped pulses in fiber is affected by dispersion. When the pulses propagate in normal dispersion fiber or dispersion-managed fiber with average normal dispersion, they can maintain the parabolic shape. Especially, the pulses stretch fiercely when propagating in normal dispersion fiber, and taking advantage of the dispersion management methods, the tendency of pulse stretching is suppressed well. This result is of great help in long-haul optical fiber communication without relay..

The infrared radiation is difficult to filter and the blackbody terahertz radiation test accuracy is reduced. To improve the test accuracy, a suitable temperature range is chosen for the blackbody and the test method is designed for its terahertz radiation. Firstly, the distribution of spectral radiant emittance in the terahertz and infrared wave bands is calculated by Planck′s law for the blackbody at temperatures between 3~600 K. The radiation difference of blackbodies in this two wave bands is analyzed. Then the relative changes of radiation at different terahertz narrow band wavelengths for blackbody at the same temperature are analyzed. The phase-locking test method for blackbody in terahertz band is put forward, with the suitable blackbody temperature range of 223~273 K. The experimental results show that the terahertz test relative deviation is 0.1%～2.0%. The terahertz test curve is consistent with the related theoretical curve for blackbody in 100~3000 μm at this temperature range..

The analysis results by numerical calculation show that the system energy storage In order to research the phenomenon of spontaneous emission in fiber laser, the numerical model of master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) systerm is established based on the energy-level structure and rate equation of Yb3+-doped fiber. The analysis results by numerical calculation show that the system energy storage and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) of amplifier are influenced by the pump power and particle population. The ASE is extremely serious in amplifying process with a low repetition rate. To reduce the ASE, continuous pump is changed to pulse pump, which means that a period of pump pulse that recovers the upper-level population adequately is set before the signal pulse. The ASE existing continuously in continuous pump system could be reduced obviously without influencing the signal pulse amplification. Numerical simulation shows that this method is feasible with a suitable pulse width and pump power, furthermore, the result of corresponding experiment agrees well with the calculation result..

The field has properties of low absorption and low dispersion, which is similar to that of a cylindrical metal wire. The results show that, as the major-to-minor semi-axis ratio of the elliptic cylinder metal wire increases, the fields are gradually separated and concentrated to its tip regions, while the absorption keeps notably reducing, so the propagation length continually increases. Because of these properties, elliptic cylinder metal wire is appropriate for applications such as terahertz waveguide, focusing, and imaging, etc..

SimulaA novel sub-wavelength transparent metal structure consisting of with a layer of gold ellipsoid nanoparticles arranged into the hexagonal lattice on the surface of a gold film is proposed. The transmission characteristics of the structure are investigated by using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Simulation results show that the structure presents pronounced optical transparent behaviors. With the increase of the ellipsoid aspect ratio or the gold film thickness, obvious blue shift of the narrow resonant peak appears, accompanied by the pronounced change in transmittance. The transmission spectrum with much narrower peak is achieved in the proposed structure as compared to that of the structure with a gold nanosphere array on the thin gold film. In addition, we also find that the transmittance of the structure with the gold ellipsoid array on the top surface of the gold film is larger than that with the gold ellipsoid array on the bottom surface of the gold film..

In order to reduce transverse relaxation rate and to maximize spin polarization time of the alkali-metal atoms, it is usually to fill the inert gas He and the diatomic molecule N2 which are used as buffer gases into the cell to achieve high measuring sensitivity. Not only the collision probability of polarized atoms with the cell wall but also the radiation trapping can be reduced or avoid by this approach. The relationships between the output signals of this magnetometer with buffer gas pressures were expressed here. After a detail theoretical analysis, it was found that the optimal gas pressure of the buffer gas was about 3.9×104 Pa for helium (He) and 3.6×103 Pa for nitrogen (N2)..

A method using cascaded GRIN lens to increase the optical-path length is presented, and the detection sensitivity of the gas cell is greatly increased by this method. By analyzing the experimental curves of hydrogen sulfide absorption, it is shown that the system sensitivity is 3.672×10-4 μW/(μL/L), and the resolution is 122.5 μL/L..

Principal compTotal volatile basic nitrogen (TVB-N) content is an important index in evaluating the chicken′s freshness. We attempt to use synergy interval partial least square coupled with genetic algorithm to select the best wavelengths. Texture features of gray images of the corresponding wavelengths are extracted. Principal component analysis (PCA) is implemented on these feature variables from image information. We take the best principal component factor numbers as the input layer. And a prediction model of the TVB-N content is developed by the back-propagation artificial neural network (BP-ANN). The results of the model are achieved as root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 6.61 and 9.84, and correlation coefficient r of 0.9054 and 0.8030 in training and prediction sets, respectively. This work demonstrates that hyperspectral imaging technique is a valid means for quick and nondestructive detection of TVB-N content in chicken..

In order to realize the ultratrace detection of Hg2+ by optical waveguide spectroscopy, a displacement strategy of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) for target analysis based on the optical waveguide spectroscopy is designed, which differs from the usual target-induced aggregation effect. The PATP-coupled Au nanoparticle (PAIn order to realize the ultratrace detection of Hg2+ by optical waveguide spectroscopy, a displacement strategy of gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) for target analysis based on the optical waveguide spectroscopy is designed, which differs from the usual target-induced aggregation effect. The PATP-coupled Au nanoparticle (PATP-Au) multilayer was layer-by-layer assembled on the OWG chip surface and used as the probes to detect Hg2+. OWG spectroscopy can monitor the SPR extinction from Au nanoparticles, which enables to easily capture changes in the probe structure. Because Hg2+ has a higher binding affinity to the thiol group of PATP molecules, the presence of Hg2+ will greatly destroy the probe structure, produce large changes in surface plasmon resonance features of the probes. Our experiments indicated a high selectivity for Hg2+ detection and reached a low detection limit of about 1 nM..

The dependence of stress on deposition temperature, film thickness and substrate thicknesFinite element analysis software ANSYS is used to calculate the stresses in GaN film on sapphire，and the results was proved to be reasonable by theoretical calculation. The stress distribution of GaN film on sapphire is simulated. The dependence of stress on deposition temperature, film thickness and substrate thickness is analyzed. The effect of non-uniform temperature distribution on stresses is also discussed. The results show that a largest thermal stresses appears in the center, a sharp reducing of stress occurs at the film edge and the rest parts are relatively uniform. When the deposition temperature increases, the film thickness reduce or the substrate thickness increases ,thermal stresses will increase. When the radial direction temperature has a non-uniform distribution in the sapphire substrate, the film stress will increase, and the larger difference of temperature is, the larger thermal stress in the film will be..
