Liu Dan, Zhang Pizhuang, and Ma Chunyan
Solving the frequency of Doppler signal is the foundation for speed measurement of high-speed moving target. When measuring speed of the moving projectile by extremum, the extreme value point carries instantaneous frequency information of the Doppler signal. So it is very important to find the location of extreme valueSolving the frequency of Doppler signal is the foundation for speed measurement of high-speed moving target. When measuring speed of the moving projectile by extremum, the extreme value point carries instantaneous frequency information of the Doppler signal. So it is very important to find the location of extreme value point when estimating the frequency of projectile echo signal accurately. The measurement precision of traditional extremum method is more restricted. A method of quadratic curve fitting is proposed to deal with the noise of echo signal, all the extreme value points are found out according to the principle of quadratic function, and invalid extreme value points produced by the piecewise fitting method are eliminated. Through the analysis of actually measured projectile echo signal, the accuracy for determining the position of extreme value point is improved and foundation for high precision measurement of moving targets is laid..

Xue Zhengyan, Qi Bo, Ren Ge, and Xie Zongliang
Pointing errors can reduce the number of received signals. The influence of pointing errors on intersatellite optical communication systems is decreased by selecting an optimum laser beam divergence angle for optimizing link reliability in the presence of pointing errors. Given that bias errors are part of pointing errPointing errors can reduce the number of received signals. The influence of pointing errors on intersatellite optical communication systems is decreased by selecting an optimum laser beam divergence angle for optimizing link reliability in the presence of pointing errors. Given that bias errors are part of pointing errors, an analytic expression of link reliability is obtained in the absence of bias errors. By maximizing link reliability, an analytic expression of the optimum beam divergence angle can be obtained. Bias errors are considered in maximizing link reliability. The numerical results and analytic approximation of the optimum ratio of beam divergence angle to pointing errors for a desired bit rate are obtained. With the application of the designed optimum divergence angle for intersatellite optical communication systems, good system performance can be achieved even in the presence of pointing errors..

The symbol structure, average transmission power and bandwidth requirement of RDPPWM and its packet rate error in additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel are presented and compared with on-off keying (OOK), RDPPM and RPWM. The stimulation results show that RDPPWM has advantages in power efficiency and channel capacity, and it can decrease bandwidth requirement and doesn′t need symbol synchronization. The packet error rate of RDPPWM can drop to 2.6×10-12 while that of RDPPM is 2.2×10-8 when the same signal power is -28 dBm. Therefore, these considerations make RDPPWM a favorable candidate to select as the modulation scheme in wireless optical communication..

White light extrinsic Fabry- Perot interferometric (EFPI) sensor system based on fast lightThere is a demand for simultaneous measurement of static absolute signal and dynamic relative signal with optical fiber sensor in many situations, which requires the sensing system has both large dynamic range and high accuracy. White light extrinsic Fabry- Perot interferometric (EFPI) sensor system based on fast light spectrum acquisition is utilized to meet the requirement of large dynamic range and absolute measurement,which can also response dynamic signal rapidly. Zoom-FFT algorithm is applied in cavity length demodulation of sensors to improve the demodulation accuracy, and the experiment shows that the accuracy reaches 4 nm. Zoom-FFT algorithm can satisfy the demand for demodulation speed of dynamic measurement because of its low computation cost. The experiment is conducted to calibrate the sensor in liquid level between 0~30 cm, which shows that the response of the sensor has a desirable linearity to the static pressure, and the liquid level resolution reaches 0.13 mm. One sensor is able to measure liquid level depth and sound simultaneously with the difference between the frequencies of them at the same time. And the proposed system is proved to possess the potential application in simultaneously absolute measurement of static signal and relative measurement of dynamic signal..

The allfA high power, single-frequency, narrow linewidth fiber laser based on an active double-ring cavity under optical injection is proposed. The laser produces power of 36 dBm, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 40 dB and linewidith of 7.1 kHz. The wavelength and power are stable within several hours of observing time. The allfiber double-ring cavity consists of two sub-ring cavities: the main-ring cavity is gain-controlled through adjustment of the pump power and the intracavity feedback ratio, however, the sub-ring cavity is injected by a master laser whose power and wavelength are tunable. To achieve single-frequency lasing, the intracavity gain and oscillation mode′s frequency of double-ring cavity should be matched with the optical power and frequency of the master laser, respectively. This frequency locking condition is achieved by adjusting the pump power and variable optical coupler. The single-longitudinal-mode selection regime is analyzed by a semi-classical multimode oscillation theory. Simulation results are in good accordance with the experimental results. This fiber laser can be useful in current coherent communication systems and distributed optical fiber sensors..

The results show that the laser efficiency can be enhanced after the rubbing treatment no matter the thickness of cholesteric liquid crystal sample is thin or thick. Moreover, the laser efficiency in a thicker sample is increased more obviously. The reason is that, before rubbing treatment, liquid crystal molecules deviate from the ideal alignment direction. As a result, more or less defects are formed inside the samples, which induce light scattering and reduce its laser efficiency. More defects can be formed in a thicker sample, therefore, the optical loss induced by the light scattering is larger. Consequently, the laser efficiency in a thicker sample is decreased more compared with the ideal state. After the treatment, the alignment of cholesteric liquid crystal molecules is more or less improved and the optical loss caused by light scattering is reduced.

The first row transition metal Cu and Cr are selected to be co-doped rutile TiO2. The effect micromechanism of electronic properties and optical properties of Cu-Cr co-doped rutile TiO2 are discussed by using the plane wave pseudopotential method based on the density functional theory. The results show that there are five new impurity levels formed in band gap of Cu-Cr co-doped TiO2. In which, one of impurity levels on valence band maximum is mainly contribution of 3d orbit of Cu, and another four metastable impurity levels are formed by interaction of 3d orbit of Cr and 2p orbit of O. Cu-Cr co-doped TiO2 is beneficial to decrease the transition energy of electron and largely improve photocatalytic activity of TiO2. The optical properties of Cu-Cr co-doped TiO2 is also improved, which has a red shift in visible region. And the reflectivity of TiO2 is increased. The visible light absorption ability and reflection ability of Cu-Cr co-doped TiO2 is more stable compared with these of Cu doped and Cr doped TiO2..

It is found thA so-called double-pyramid waveguide network composed of one-dimensional optical waveguide segments is constructed and the properties of photonic band gap (PBG) and photonic attenuation by means of network equation, generalized Floquet-Bloch theorem, and generalized eigenfunction method are investigated. It is found that huge absolute PBGs and extreme strong photonic attenuation can be generated by this interesting optical waveguide network, which includes high density of triangular fundamental loops. When each pair of nearest-neighbor nodes in the network are connected by two waveguide segments with the length ratio of 2∶1, the ratio of the absolute PBG Δω to the midgap frequency ΔωC arrives at 154% . The average photonic attenuation of the largest PBG resulted from this two-segment-connected network with 8 unit cells is stronger than 10-21 (which is equivalent to -210 dB). This interesting optical waveguide network may be useful for the designing of optical devices with large PBG and strong attenuation..

The in-depth analysis of second harmonic nonlinear conversion efficiency uses periodically poled crystal MgO∶sPPLT as the research object, and combines the Sellmeier equation and the polar period with Best matching temperature is obtained when the fundamental laser is of normal incidence in periodically poled crystal. The in-depth analysis of second harmonic nonlinear conversion efficiency uses periodically poled crystal MgO∶sPPLT as the research object, and combines the Sellmeier equation and the polar period with temperature thermal expansion relationship. When the fundamental laser tilt is incident, the equivalent polar period becomes larger, and the best matching temperature is reduced. Acceptable temperature and wavelength bandwidth can be obtained conveniently by using the normalized frequency doubling efficiency curves for the given length of frequency doubling crystal. The crystal length becomes longer, and the acceptable temperature and wavelength bandwidth become narrower. As long as the Sellmeier equation and polar period with temperature thermal expansion relationship are known, the method used in this study can be extended to other periodically poled crystals. These conclusions are useful for other periodically poled crystals and guiding continuous wave fiber laser external cavity frequency doubling..

Based on the typical vegetation classification of Changchun, it is found that the observation time, detection angle and band are the main factors affecting the brightness temperature of vegetation. The result shows that the brightness temperature of vegetations measured in different time periods is significantly different, so it can distinguish among different vegetations easily, especially at noon, it is the most conducive to identify the four vegetation types. The brightness temperature measured under different detection angles is also evidently different, and it can also achieve the effect of distinguishing among typical vegetations, especially the brightness temperature obtained under the 0° detection angle is the most favorable to the vegetation classification; but there is only subtle difference between brightness temperature of four channels, the brightness temperature obtained in different band ranges is difficult to distinguish among typical vegetations. The results can be used to provide important basis for the identification and classification of vegetation types..

The influences of the types of gases, the laser amplitudes and the relative phase difference between the two laser pulses on the ionization currents are discussed. Compared with the case with 0.8 mm laser and its second harmonic, the THz radiation amplitude is enhanced twice under the same incident laser amplitude. The effect of the angle between the two laser polarizations is also studied.
