Qingshan Wang, Weijie Wang, Xu Guo, Lina Mao, Jiqing Mu, and Lei Chen
To improve the measurement accuracy and measurement stability of the distributed fiber Raman temperature measurement system, a temperature demodulation method that self-compensates for fiber loss, fiber dispersion, and system fluctuation was presented and experimentally verified. The loss coefficient between the StokesTo improve the measurement accuracy and measurement stability of the distributed fiber Raman temperature measurement system, a temperature demodulation method that self-compensates for fiber loss, fiber dispersion, and system fluctuation was presented and experimentally verified. The loss coefficient between the Stokes and Anti-Stokes backscatter signals was calculated in real time by sampling value, and the difference between them was dynamically corrected. This prevents the temperature accuracy from decreasing as the fiber length increases. A linear interpolation algorithm was used to correct the misalignment of the Stokes and anti-Stokes backscatter signals due to the dispersion effect of the optical fiber, eliminating temperature anomaly points caused by dispersion on both sides of the heating point, thus improving temperature measurement accuracy. Finally, the fluctuation of the system was corrected according to the sampling value and the environmental temperature value. Thus, the fluctuation range of the temperature demodulation value was reduced. Experimental results indicated that the error range of temperature measurement decreased from -2.72-7.24% to -0.34-1.04% when the fiber distance was 8 km. Temperature fluctuations were reduced from -0.0128-1.6181 ℃ to -0.8991-0.6476 ℃ across the fiber..

With this approach, as the DPMZM1 is driven by an RF signal, and DPMZM2 only performs optical carrier phase shift by direct current (DC) bias without RF signal driven, triangular and square waveforms with fundamental frequency can be obtained following a polarizer and photodetector; as the two DPMZMs are both driven by an RF signal with a 90° phase difference, two waveforms with double frequency can also be generated. The proposed approach was verified by simulation. Triangular and square waveforms with repetition rates of 10 GHz and 20 GHz were generated by changing the phase difference and connection mode of the RF signal. The proposed structure features a single modulator and is filter-free, and demonstrates good tunability and large reconfigurability, which has potential applications in future high-frequency electronic systems..

The time-domain waveform of the received signal under fluorescence interference for the indoor visible light communication system modulated by on-off keying (OOK) modulation is obtained. Then a transmission baseband model and a 5 m×5 m×3 m indoor three-dimensional model are used to obtain the indoor bit error rate distribution. The influence of fluorescence interference on the performance of indoor visible light communication receivers is analyzed. The results show that the fluorescence interference is in the form of additive noise in the received signal, which leads to sinusoidal periodic signal distortion of the received signal. The fluorescence interference spectrum covers a wide range, and signals with a transmission rate of 10-1000 Mbit/s are affected. The signal is denoised by wavelet transform. The results show that the scale flexibility of wavelet transform can eliminate the fluorescence interference..

Optical Fiber Curvature Sensing Measurement Based on Seven-Core Fiber and Polarization-Maintaining Fiber Structure
Fan Zhang, Xinhua Shi, and Junhui Hu
An optical fiber curvature sensor based on seven-core fiber (SCF) and polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) structures is proposed. First, a section of SCF is fused with the PMF, and then a common single-mode optical fiber is fused at both ends as the input fiber and output fiber, respectively. Experiments have studied An optical fiber curvature sensor based on seven-core fiber (SCF) and polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF) structures is proposed. First, a section of SCF is fused with the PMF, and then a common single-mode optical fiber is fused at both ends as the input fiber and output fiber, respectively. Experiments have studied the curvature characteristics of three sensors with SCF lengths of 80, 100, and 120 mm, respectively. The results show that when the curvature increases, the transmission spectrum of the sensor has a significant red shift, and the curvature measurement can be realized by monitoring the shift of the resonant valley wavelength in the transmission spectrum. The curvature sensitivity of the sensor increases with the increasing SCF length. When the length of SCF is 120 mm, the maximum sensitivity is 17.31 nm/m -1. However, the temperature characteristic experiment shows that the sensor with this length has high sensitivity to temperature. Therefore, in order to avoid the influence of temperature on the measurement results, the sensor with the lowest temperature sensitivity and the SCF with a length of 100 mm can be selected for curvature measurement. The maximum curvature sensitivity under this length is 16.79 nm/m -1. Compared with other optical fiber structure sensors, the proposed sensor has the advantages of simple fabrication, low cost, and high extinction ratio, which can be used in civil engineering and other fields..

The sensor structure consists of a multi-mode fiber segment with an up-taper structure and a core-offset joint as two coupled units. The up-taper increases the light energy propagating in the fiber cladding, which improves the fringe visibility. Wavelength shifts were recorded for two transmission dips, associated with variations in the temperature and refractive index, respectively, to build up a sensing matrix for the device. The experimental results show that the sensitivities to changes in the refractive index and temperature are -25.682 nm/RIU and 0.073 nm/℃ within the refractive-index range 1.3449-1.3797 and temperature range 25-65 ℃. The proposed sensor is easy to fabricate and has low cost, so we believe that it has application prospects for various types of multi-parameter detection, including temperature, refractive index, etc..

The modelCombined with the data delivery mechanism and queuing model of bundle protocol/Licklider transmission protocol (BP/LTP) in delay tolerant network (DTN), the more accurate retransmission round number is calculated, and the average length model of the custody queue of the relay node memory space is constructed. The model is used to measure the change trend of node memory space, and the joint optimization scheme is proposed based on the number of protocol data unit bundles and the length of Licklider transmission protocol (LTP) data segments. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that, without affecting the normal data transmission, this optimization scheme can minimize the memory queue length of the node memory space, that is the smallest memory space. Under the premise that the arrival rate of bundle and channel bit error rate change, the optimized queue length reduces by 70.9% and 61.8%..

The key and data eavesdropping channel models are established, respectively. The expressions of key system and data secrecy capacity are derived, and the maximum security rate of the system is obtained. The effects of key parameters (scale number, internal optical amplifier gain and mesoscopic coherent state power) on the key and data security of QPSK-QNRC system are evaluated and compared with phase shift keying (PSK)-QNRC system in the same frame. The results show that the key system parameters have the same effect on the security of the two systems. Compared with the PSK-QNRC system, the QPSK-QNRC system has higher key security and maximum achievable security rate, lower data security, and stronger mesoscopic power level. At the same time, the maximum achievable security rate of the PSK-QNRC system is mainly limited by the security of key, while the maximum achievable security rate of the QPSK-QNRC system is mainly limited by the security of data..

First, the initial rough correction was performed on the synthetic fringe orders according to the phase period of the synthetic fringe, which can effectively avoid further accumulation and transmission of the phase-jump error caused by the Gamma effect and flooring function. Thereafter, the secondary fine correction was performed on the initial fringe orders by optimizing the flooring function and using the absolute phase of the error. Finally, a more accurate target absolute phase was calculated based on the corrected fringe orders. Experimental results showed that the three-dimensional reconstruction model corrected by the proposed method exhibited a smooth surface, clear details without obvious spots or color patches, which can significantly suppress the phase-jump error and enhance the robustness of the structural light three-dimensional measurement system..

The electrostatic method is widely used in the measurement of two-phase flow due to its disadvantages of low cost, easy detection, and strong adaptability. Based on the principle of electrostatic induction, the structure parameters (thickness of tube wall, electrode width, charge, position, etc.) of the sensor are set by finite element analysis method. The spatial sensitivity of the sensor is studied under different electrode width. The amplitude frequency characteristics of the sensor are studied and analyzed according to the static and dynamic characteristics of the electrostatic sensor. Simulation results show that: the electrostatic sensor has low-pass filtering characteristics in the spatial frequency domain; the closer the particles pass through the pipeline, the narrower the spatial frequency band; the faster the speed of those particles in the pipeline, the wider the frequency band of the sensor; the longer the axial length of the electrode, the greater the amplitude of the signal. When the electrode width is determined, the best sensing range of the electrode in the pipeline can be obtained..

First, the ultrasonic wave field induced by a pulsed laser excited at a 2 mm-thick 304 stainless steel plate is studied by modelling and theoretical calculation.

Finally, the laser ultrasonic C-scan is used to measure the width of the stiffeners, and the images are processed by the wavelet denoising and image averaging filtering methods. Experimental results show that the amplitude of the reflected transverse wave excited by the pulsed laser on the 304 stainless steel plate is higher than that of the longitudinal wave when the receiving point is 4 mm away from the exciting point. Using the reflected transverse wave amplitude as the characteristic signal, the laser ultrasonic C-scan measurement is performed on the stiffeners on the 304 stainless steel plate, and the absolute error between the width of stiffener obtained from the image and the actual width is less than 0.05 mm, which meets the error requirements of engineering inspection..

To shorten the experimental period and find out the inherent mechanism of unstable state, in this work, the experimental design method was used to study the surface forming and process stability of the distance laser-arc, welding voltage, laser power, and laser+pulse melting gas metal arc hybrid welding (GMAW). Though high speed photography and electrical signal system, the reasons for the difference of forming law were explained. The results show that higher voltage and smaller distance laser-arc will lead to instability of welding process. The reason for this phenomenon is that the force mode and size of droplet change, and finally the droplet drop point deviates from the moving direction of the welding gun..

Mingyuan Pei, Aiyiti Wurikaixi, and Shengquan Wang
To investigate the influence of the laser-cladding scanning path on the distortions of a thin plate, a displacement sensor was used to measure dynamic distortions during the cladding process. In addition, all the distortions of the thin plate were measured after cladding using three different scanning paths. The three To investigate the influence of the laser-cladding scanning path on the distortions of a thin plate, a displacement sensor was used to measure dynamic distortions during the cladding process. In addition, all the distortions of the thin plate were measured after cladding using three different scanning paths. The three scanning paths all produced concave distortions at measurement point P2. In the cladding stage, the distortions accumulate and stack continuously, taking the form of periodic expansions and contractions. Spiral scanning produced the maximum bending distortion. The cladding area of single-direction scanning and reciprocating scanning experienced concave distortions, while the upper edge of the thin plate underwent convex distortions. During spiral scanning, the center of the spiral-scanning cladding layer and the edges of both ends of the thin plate experienced convex distortions. The sectional distortion transverse to the centerline was of the “W” type, and it produced small torsional distortions. Among the three types of scanning paths, single-direction scanning effectively reduced the distortions of the thin plate, and the formed quality of the cladding area was better..

Based on the response surface method, a composite design matrix test with 4 factors (laser power, scanning speed, powder feeding rate and defocusing amount) and 5 horizontal centers is established. The influence laws of cladding parameters on each response value under the interaction of single factor and multiple factors are explored. The research results show that scanning speed and defocusing amount have the most significant influence on width-height ratio, defocusing amount and laser power have the most significant influence on dilution rate, and the interaction between laser power and scanning speed has certain influence on dilution rate. Finally, the correctness of the predictive model is verified by experiments. The optimized morphology and process parameters of the cladding layer are selected for numerical simulation, and it is found that the maximum residual tensile stress in the x direction is 532 MPa and occurs at the end of the cladding layer. In the longitudinal section of the cladding layer, the tensile stress mainly appears in the cladding layer and the heat-affected zone. As the depth increases, the tensile stress gradually decreases and is converted into the compressive stress at the bottom of the cladding layer. However, in the y direction, due to the deformation of the formed parts, the bottom surface of the substrate is subjected to tensile stress..

The optical-trap-force-based atomic accelerometer adopts the closed-loop system and the influence of the friction damping of elastic support elements on the measurement results is small because there is no mechanical connection in the structure, and thus it possesses the advantages of strong anti-interference ability and high precision, which is effective to realize the miniaturization of a high precision accelerometer. According to the Rayleigh scattering model, we establish the mechanical model of the single-axis double-beam accelerometer and conduct the numerical simulation. In addition, we analyze and simulate the influence of laser wavelength, focusing degree and other optical-trap parameters on optical-trap force. Through the sensitivity analysis of the accelerometer, the parameters are optimized to obtain the measurement sensibility of 10 -7g·nm -1(g=10 m·s -2).

Traditional wind speed estimation methods have hysteresis. The Taylor frozen turbulence assumption ignores the changes in the wind field structure from the lidar measurement point to the hub, which affects the accuracy of the measurement data. Aiming at the above problems, the auto-regressive moving average and external input (Armax) model were used to model the wind evolution process. The particle swarm optimization algorithm is used to estimate the model parameters, and the inertia weight of the conventional particle swarm algorithm is improved to avoid falling into a local minimum. In order to ensure the real-time and fast control action of the wind power system, the effective wind speed at the hub is predicted one step in advance according to the established model. Using Fast and Matlab/Simulink software, the joint simulation is carried out with an average wind speed of 7 m/s and a turbulence level A as an example. The simulation results show that the proposed method has higher real-time performance and accuracy and is more effective than traditional method of wind speed estimation..

Then, the multiband filter is formed though exciting the stuffing wave by loading an E-shaped resonator. When the odd and even resonance modes are excited at the same time, two low-pass filters with insertion loss of 3 dB and cut-off frequency of 2.83 GHz and two band-pass filters with insertion loss of 3 dB and bandwidth of 2.94-4.37 GHz and 4.40-7.10 GHz are formed. When the resonance degradation disappears in even mode, a low-pass filter with 3 dB insertion loss and 2.83 GHz cut-pass frequency, and a band-pass filter with insertion loss of 3 dB and bandwidth of 2.94-7.10 GHz are formed. It is proved that the structure of multiband filter based on E-shaped resonator is of great significance to the development of SSPPs in microwave field in the microwave field..

ing at the mixed transmission of quantum signals and classical signals in the network, and through the analysis of the characteristics of the PM protocol, we proposes a hybrid quantum-classical optical network scheme based on PM protocol to improve the key generation rate, secure transmission distance, and so on. In addition, the QKD performance of the far-band isolation scheme is simulated. The numerical results show that not only the key generation rate of the PM protocol is high and the secure transmission distance is long, but also the key generation rate decreases slowly with the increase of transmission distance. For a small hybrid optical network, the PM protocol has the longest secure transmission distance and the highest key generation rate for long-distance transmission. For a medium-sized network, the PM and BB84 protocols still have their advantages, but the performance of the MDI protocol is the worst. For a large network, the performance of the BB84 protocol is the best, that of the PM protocol is the second, and that of the MDI protocol is the worst.

Switching Strategy of Dual-Satellite Satellite-Ground Link Based on Optimal Entanglement Degree in Background of Sandstorm
Min Nie, Wenxiang Kou, Guang Yang, Meiling Zhang, Aijing Sun, and Changxing Pei
In the process of quantum satellite communication, the satellite link between the quantum satellite and the ground receiver is inevitably affected by the natural factors such as rain, snow, dust, haze, and ionosphere, which results in a decrease in communication quality. However, the research on the switching strategy In the process of quantum satellite communication, the satellite link between the quantum satellite and the ground receiver is inevitably affected by the natural factors such as rain, snow, dust, haze, and ionosphere, which results in a decrease in communication quality. However, the research on the switching strategy of quantum satellite satellite-ground links is still few in the context of dust storms. In order to reduce the effect of dust storm on the switching of satellite-ground links, we propose a switching strategy of dual-satellite satellite-ground links based on optimal entanglement. By establishing the relationship between the parameters of sandstorm and the entanglement degree of satellite-ground links, the effects of dust diffusion mode index, dust particle radius, observation height, and sand disaster coefficient on the entanglement of links are analyzed. According to the entanglement of satellite-ground links in the context of sandstorm, a new switching strategy is proposed, that is, in the case that the current dual-satellite serves a ground user, one satellite with the largest entanglement degree is selected from the multiple candidate satellites as the optimal target satellite to be switched by the link. The simulation results show that the sand dust diffusion mode index, sand particle radius, observation height, and dust disaster coefficient can lead to the significant change of entanglement degree of links. The proposed optimal entanglement-based switching strategy of dual-satellite satellite-ground links can not only reduce the impact of sandstorm on the entanglement degree, but also make link interruption disappear during the switching process. Thus the switching strategy based on the optimal entanglement degree of satellite-ground link can effectively improve the communication quality of links..

Jie Tang, Lei Shi, Jiahua Wei, Huicun Yu, Tianxiong Wu, and Yang Xue
Recently, how to eliminate the influence of collective noise in quantum communication has become an urgent problem. To solve the problem of low qubit efficiency of the current quantum key agreement protocols under collective noise, we propose two improved quantum key agreement protocols immune to collective phase noiseRecently, how to eliminate the influence of collective noise in quantum communication has become an urgent problem. To solve the problem of low qubit efficiency of the current quantum key agreement protocols under collective noise, we propose two improved quantum key agreement protocols immune to collective phase noise and collective rotation noise, respectively. These two protocols mainly make use of the correlation among logical quantum states, delay measurement technology, unitary operation, and multi-particle entangled states to ensure that the communication parties can fairly establish a shared key. The qubit efficiency of the protocols is up to 27.27%, which effectively improves the existing quantum key agreement protocols immune to collective noise..

Because of side-effects associated with radiotherapy and chemotherapy, photothermal therapy ( PTT) utilizing photothermal therapeutic agents (PTA)—accumulate in tumor tissues by intravenous injection—to further generate sufficient heat under near-infrared (NIR) light irradiation for solid tumor ablation has attracted extensive attention of researchers. The method allows the local treatment process to be performed in a non-invasive direct and accurate manner due to the easy focusing and tunable properties of the incident light.

Based on various exchange-correlation function models of density functional theory, the molecular vibration frequencies of metronidazole in the terahertz band were calculated, and the characteristic absorption peaks of metronidazole were identified. The experimental results show that the results of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy are in good agreement with those of high-performance liquid chromatography, and terahertz time-domain spectroscopy can quickly detect drug residuals. The positions of the characteristic absorption peaks of metronidazole obtained via terahertz time-domain spectroscopy are very close to the calculated values, which indicates that the metronidazole molecular vibration frequency is in the measurable range of the system, and the formation mechanism of the characteristic absorption frequency is similar to the vibration mode of the molecular group. This research has important reference value for the applications of rapid detection of antibiotic drugs and the identification of active ingredients in compounds..

The experimental results showed that the terahertz spectrum of fluTerahertz time-domain spectroscopy technology was applied to detect fluororubber materials with different degrees of thermal damages to acquire the time-domain spectrum, frequency-domain spectrum and absorption spectrum of each sample in 0.4-1 THz band. The experimental results showed that the terahertz spectrum of fluororubber materials was between -382 ps and -376 ps. Further comparison and fitting analysis of the maximum value, peak-to-peak value, and absorption coefficient of terahertz characteristic spectrum of different degrees of thermal damage samples indicated that these values had good linear relationships with the temperature of the thermal damage, in which the correlation coefficient could reach 0.9614. The results could provide a reference for terahertz nondestructive identification and quantitative detection of thermal damage for fluororubber materials..
