In order to enhance performance of the laser beam shaping system with a deformable mirror as the phase modulation element, a stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm is proposed to further optimize control voltage, which takes the least square fitting control voltage as the initial value. Laser beam can be transformed to square and circular flat topped beam with different sizes by a 37 element deformable mirror. Numerical simulation results show that, for the far field intensity, both the uniformity of target area and the similarity to the theoretical intensity are improved, after the introduction of optimization algorithm, on the basis of the least square method. So the performance of the laser beam shaping system is also improved.descent algorithm.

The current-voltage characteristics are simulated by finite element software. Effects of single barrier pdoped, double barriers p-doped，DBS p-doped and concentrations of p-doping on the eigen current suppression are researched. Simulation results show that the peak tunneling current of the detector with p-doped in DBS reduces about 3 orders of magnitude compared with that of the detector with undoped DBS. It is also found that the eigen current reduces with the increasing of the doping concentration of the DBS. The proposed device has been fabricated and tested. The results demonstrate that the eigen current is effectively suppressed when the DBS is doped in p-type..

A fiber optic accelerometer based on two-end fixed beam is presented, which is on the basis of the beam sensors. A kind of small-diameter single-mode optical fiber with high numerical aperture is wrapped on the beam as the sensing fiber. The minimum bending radius of the single-mode is analyzed, thereby more fiber can be affixed to the beam arm without any bending loss and the sensitivity is enhanced. The transverse sensitivity is greatly reduced due to the double- ended fixed structure which is convenient for the production of three- dimensional sensor. The nature frequency of the sensor and the sensitivity are analyzed theoretically. The linearity of the sensor response is analyzed by experiments. The sensor presented has the natural frequency around 360 Hz, and its sensitivity up to 3300 rad / g at 100 Hz. It can be used to detect low-frequency acceleration effectively..

Study on Power Frequency Electric-Field Measurements Based on Fiber Bragg Grating Sensing Technology
Zhang Xuhui, Wang Lutang, and Fang Nian
Measurements of power frequency electric field are necessary to understand electromagnetic environments and optimize the high voltage electrical equipment. For this purpose, a novel fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based on the all-fiber power-frequency electric-field sensor is proposed. The sensor head actually is an opticalMeasurements of power frequency electric field are necessary to understand electromagnetic environments and optimize the high voltage electrical equipment. For this purpose, a novel fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based on the all-fiber power-frequency electric-field sensor is proposed. The sensor head actually is an optical fiber cantilever beam with a FBG, on which the polyimide resin as the electric field induction medium is multiple-layer coated. When the fiber cantilever beam is put into the electric field, the polyimide coating will produce the dynamic polarization effect under the induction of power frequency electric field because of the dielectric properties of polyimide coating materials, which, in turn, induces the fiber cantilever beam to vibrate periodically through the action of the timevarying electric field force. As a result, the Bragg wavelength of FBG also is modulated. The maximum shift of the Bragg wavelength is proportional to the applied electric-field strength. For demodulation of the detection signal, a laser source is used and its operating wavelength at the edge of the FBG reflective spectrum is selected. Through this operation, the change of optical power reflected from the FBG can be monitored and the power-frequency electric field strength can be measured. The experimental investigations prove that the proposed sensing method for power frequency electric field measurements is feasible and the prototype of the sensor had very high detection sensitivity and good measurement accuracy in the 1 kV to 4 kV voltage range..

The linearly polarized input beam is divided into two orthogonal polarized beams by LCSLM, and then propagates to the Wollaston prism (WP) along the same direction. Two beams transmitted from the WP generate lateral shearing and a tilt modulation is introduced into the two beams, and hence a carrier-frequency interferogram is obtained after passing analyzer polarizer.

Signal-to-background ratio (SBR) of Cr (I) 425.435 nm, 427.481 nm and Cu (I) 324.754 nm, 327.396 nm is analyzed. The calibration curve is drawn using the intensity ratio of each line to the Fe reference line intensity, and the limit of detection is calculated. The effect of atomic configuration, angular momentum and transition probability on calibration curve and limit of detection is studied. It is indicated that the high SBR spectral line gets lower limit of detection, and is more sensitive to element detection. The spectral line SBR is independent on transition probability. The variation in SBR with element content exhibits similar characteristics for the lines with the same atomic configuration. The excitation of lines with large angular momentum is better with higher regression coefficient of calibration curves. The limit of detection of Cr (I) 425.435 nm (4-3) and Cu (I) 324.754 nm (3/2-1/2) decreases by 11% and 42% compared to the lines Cr (I) 427.481 nm (3-3) and Cu (I) 327.396 nm (1/2-1/2) respectively. The lines with large angular momentum are more sensitive and more suitable for element detection..

Then, based on the principle of the model, the nonlinear fitting is applied on the obtained intensity data to calculate the extinction ratio. The experimental results show that the measured accuracy of 10-5 level can be achieved. Also, good repeatability and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified..

Guan Li, and Huang Anjing
AMSR-2 observations at 7.3 GHz from Aug. 1 to 16, 2014 over Japan, China and surrounding areas are carefully analyzed. The observations of 7.3 GHz channel in ascending portions of orbits are usually interfered over Japanese land, while no radio frequency interference (RFI) detected in descending passes. The signals emaAMSR-2 observations at 7.3 GHz from Aug. 1 to 16, 2014 over Japan, China and surrounding areas are carefully analyzed. The observations of 7.3 GHz channel in ascending portions of orbits are usually interfered over Japanese land, while no radio frequency interference (RFI) detected in descending passes. The signals emanating from geostationary communication and television satellites that reflect off the land surface are the major interference sources of these RFI. Besides 7.3 GHz, the measurements of 6.9 GHz and 10.65 GHz over Japan are all affected by RFI. These RFI signals are all from ground point target sources, being isolated in space and persistent in time. Strong and wide RFI are detected every day in Vietnam in both ascending and descending orbits. Both 7.3 GHz and 10.65 GHz information are all contaminated over China. The cities and areas affected by RFI at both frequencies are identical with the distribution of Chinese ground-based radar stations..

They may be widely applied in far infrared sensor, CO2 laser energy transmission, biosensor and alien life detection. In addition to the applications in the traditional transmission of infrared energy and infrared imaging, chalcogenide glasses also become the best candidate materials for optical switch, super-continuum sources and Raman gain applications, due to their ultra-high nonlinearity and ultra-short response time. It summarizes the nonlinear properties and applications of the common chalcogenide glasses and compares three theoretical models for chalcogenide glasses nonlinearity analysis. And then describes the most popular test method for chalcogenide glasses nonlinearity, the Z-scanning method. Prospection is given for the exploration of higher nonlinear chalcogenide materials and future directions for research..

Han Zhaoying, Zhu Xicun, Wang Ling, and Zhao Gengxing
Accurate, rapid and non- destructive estimation of apple canopy SPAD (soil and plant analyzer development) values using hyperspectral remote sensing has important significance for monitoring the growth of apple trees. Spectral reflectance and SPAD values of 196 apple canopies are measured in 62 orchards in two years. TAccurate, rapid and non- destructive estimation of apple canopy SPAD (soil and plant analyzer development) values using hyperspectral remote sensing has important significance for monitoring the growth of apple trees. Spectral reflectance and SPAD values of 196 apple canopies are measured in 62 orchards in two years. The original spectra and the continuum- removed spectra are analyzed and correlated with SPAD values. The continuum-removed spectral indices of DVI (difference vegetation index), RVI (ratio vegetation index) and NDVI (normalized difference vegetation index) are calculated by the combination of arbitrary two bands in the range from 350 nm to 1300 nm. The stepwise regression and principal component analysis methods are used to extract the principal components as the independent variables. A support vector machine regression model for estimation of SPAD values is constructed and verified by the data collected in the second year. The vegetation indices of the biggest correlation between SPAD and the three newly built vegetation indices are NDVI (406, 563), RVI (406,565) and DVI (646,695), and the correlation coefficient (r) reaches 0.677, 0.690 and 0.711, respectively. The support vector machine regression model is verified. Relative error of prediction (REP) is 1.190%, PR2 is 0.837 and relative percent deviation of prediction (RPDP) is 2.213. The continuum-removed method and building vegetation indices can improve the correlation between spectra and apple canopy SPAD values. The spectral index which has the highest correlation with SPAD is composed of the visible bands. The support vector machine regression model has excellent ability to estimate the SPAD values of apple canopies which are growing rapidly..

An apple is selected as the object and sugar content of the apple is measured. The apple sample is irradiated in the middle of two lights of 100 W with three irradiation angles (30°, 45°, 60°). The spectra are collected using diffuse transmittance and the partial least squares regression model (PSL) is established. When the light angle is 45°, the precision of the model is the highest. The correlation coefficient of the calibration set (Rc) is 0.91, root mean square error of the calibration set (xRMSEC) is 0.57, the correlation coefficient of the prediction set (Rp) is 0.84 and the root mean square error of the prediction set (xRMSEC) is 0.73. The results show that the irradiation angle has certain effect on the model accuracy, and the study provides a basis for selecting the best irradiation angle in the building of actual models..

Based on the calculation of the attenuation coefficient, the rocket exhaust plume is taken as an example on further analysis and discussion. The attenuation coefficient has a critical value with temperature and pressure, when in the low frequency of microwave band, and the corresponding attenuation coefficient produces a trough. The attenuation peaks appears near the dusty plasma resonant frequency. The distance between the position of the peak value and the resonant frequency is determined by the effect of the temperature and pressure on resonance frequency. At a given temperature, pressure and frequency, the attenuation coefficient of the third is larger than the other two and in the area of the experimental data. So, the effect of the electrical potential impact factor needs to be considered in the calculation..

The Raman spectroscopy of GexAsySe1-x-y chalcogenide glass films is studied to understand the influence of chemical composition on internal film structure. The evolution of Raman features in the wavenumber range from 100 cm-1 to 350 cm-1 is analyzed. The Raman features are fitted into different peak-fitting functions. The intensity of Ge-Se vibrational mode at 190 cm-1 increases with the increasing of concentration of Ge and As. With the increasing of the mean coordination number (MCN), the intensity of As-Se vibrational mode decreases. Meanwhile, the two Raman shift modes located at 225 cm-1 and 250 cm-1 gradually merge and extend to high wavenumber for high MCN samples. In addition, in the films with high Ge content, the Raman features in the wavenumber range from 170 cm-1 to 180 cm-1 is caused by the defect modes..
