Over the past few decades, there is significant progress in the field of quantum-enhanced metrology with respect to the estimation of fixed parameters. However, estimating time-varying parameters is one of the key tasks in numerous practical engineering applications, such as gravitational wave detection, navigation, and positioning. Therefore, designing an effective quantum-enhanced time-varying parameter-estimation method and perfecting the time-varying parameter-estimation theory are important research components related to quantum precision measurement. Recent studies have demonstrated that the accuracy limits of time-varying parameter estimation are closely related to the continuous nature of the signal itself. Moreover, similar to fixed signal measurements, nonclassical sources such as squeezed states can improve the accuracy of time-varying parameter estimation. This review introduces several accuracy limits related to time-varying parameter estimation and summarizes the related research progress..

A model of multi-echo and spatial variable resolution scanning imaging is deduced. Target information is extracted by decomposing multi-echo to achieve high resolution depth image reconstruction. The model is verified by comparative experiments. The results show that compared with the traditional fixed-resolution scanning imaging method, the sampling rate of the proposed method is only 50% under the comparable imaging quality, which effectively reduces the redundancy of the point cloud.

This increases the bit error rate of the system. Therefore, polarization control is necessary to maintain robust operation of the communication system. Currently, decoy states are being widely used in quantum communication networks. Using decoy photons as a polarization reference, long-term and uninterrupted locking of the system polarization state can be achieved, and communication efficiency can be improved. In this study, an integrated polarization control system is built to control the polarization state preparation and single-photon transmission. The polarization state preparation unit, strong light polarization control unit, and single-photon polarization control unit are integrated into one system using a field-programmable gate array development board, which improves the integration of the system and makes system management more convenient. The experimental results show that the polarization state preparation unit can generate different polarization states as required, and the fidelity can reach 99.11%±0.44% after strong light polarization and 97.93%±0.96% after single-photon polarization control. These results demonstrate the effectiveness and stability of our proposed system..

The uncertainty of phase estimation can be used to evaluate the precision of an interferometer. The lower the uncertainty of phase estimation, the higher the phase sensitivity. We theoretically propose a nonlinear interferometer composed of an optical parametric amplifier and a linear optical beam splitter (BS). An optical parametric amplifier based on the hot rubidium-85 atomic ensemble four-wave mixing (FWM) process is used to combine and separate the beams in the interferometer. As a feedback controller, the BS controls the proportion of the output light returning to the input light port in the FWM process by controlling the reflectivity of the device.

Additionally, we analyze the contrast and phase noise using a theoretical model of the sensitivity function of the proposed atom interferometer. A top-hat composite light pulse Herein, we propose a scheme for developing a large-momentum-transfer atom interferometer based on the top-hat composite light pulse technique. Additionally, we analyze the contrast and phase noise using a theoretical model of the sensitivity function of the proposed atom interferometer. A top-hat composite light pulse is used to simulate calculations based on the atom interferometer. We confirm that compared with a Gaussian beam, a top-hat composite light pulse can improve the consistency of atom cloud transitions and increase the contrast of atom interference fringes. By designing symmetrical and reversed composite pulse sequences, the phase noise and vibration noise in the time interval and free evolution process of multipulse action can be suppressed. The numerical simulation results show that the sensitivity of the proposed atom interferometer using a top-hat composite light pulse increases by one order of magnitude compared with that using a Gaussian beam. Moreover, the proposed atom interferometer achieves satisfactory suppression of external technical noise..

The sensor probe is realized by fusing a segment of PCF between two segments of multimode fiber and plating a gold film on the surface of the PCF to stimulate the SPR phenomenon. This scheme combines the fiber optic SPR sensing probe with the temperature-sensitive material polydimethylsiloxane to form a dual SPR effect, achieving the simultaneous detection of the temperature and salinity of seawater. The experimental results show that the maximum temperature sensitivity of the sensor is－2.021 nm/℃, and the maximum salinity sensitivity is 0.418 nm/‰. This sensor has a small volume, simple production, and excellent performance. It is suitable for multi-parameter and distributed measurements of seawater and has good application prospects in liquid substance measurement..

Yifei Qi, Shengtao Lin, Xingyu Bao, Longqun Ni, Pan Wang, Jiaojiao Zhang, and Zinan Wang
Raman random fiber laser combined with passive sensing units can realize quasi-distributed sensing over ultra-long distances. However, limited by the spectrum detection speed, this sensing scheme is usually only applicable to static sensing fields. To address this issue, a novel Raman random fiber laser long-distance dRaman random fiber laser combined with passive sensing units can realize quasi-distributed sensing over ultra-long distances. However, limited by the spectrum detection speed, this sensing scheme is usually only applicable to static sensing fields. To address this issue, a novel Raman random fiber laser long-distance dynamic sensing system is proposed by integrating Raman random fiber laser with beat frequency interrogation. Firstly, the suitability of rapid spectral measurement for long-distance dynamic sensing is demonstrated based on the time-dependent spectrum-balanced model. Then, in the proof-of-concept experiment, the spectrum of Raman random fiber laser can be measured rapidly by processing the temporal signals of the local oscillator light and the random fiber laser after beating, breaking through the limitation of the round-trip time of the light on the sensing bandwidth. Meanwhile, the center wavelength of the spectrum is calibrated by using a denoising convolutional neural network, which significantly improves the signal quality of disturbance signal detection and achieves accurate measurement of disturbance information with different frequencies and waveforms. This research provides new insights for further expanding the application fields of Raman random fiber laser..

Experimental results are analyzed by applying Poincare? sphere and polarization fitting methods, which show that the emissions from Sm3+ ions in hexagonal and monoclinic microcrystals are partially polarized. However, the linear polarization angles of emissions from hexagonal microcrystals are completely parallel and perpendicular to the crystalline c-axis, whereas the angles of monoclinic microcrystals are not. From the perspectives of point group theory and macroscopic crystal symmetry, the orthogonally linear polarization angles of hexagonal microcrystals are due to the rotational symmetry of optical transition dipoles around the c-axis. However, the transition dipoles in the monoclinic phase do not allow rotational symmetry, resulting in the random linear polarization angles of the emissions. This finding will facilitate the achievement of rare-earth-ion-doped single micro/nanocrystals with desirable polarization properties originating from their crystal structure design..

The stability of optical frequency combs in microcavities is a major condition for the practical application of these devices. In this study, the evolution and thermal self-stability of optical combs in silicon nitride microcavities are theoretically and experimentally investigated. Based on the nonlinear process and thermal dynamics of microcavities, the comb evolution and thermal self-stability of an optical comb in a microcavity under different powers and detuned continuous optical pumping are analyzed. Results show that the output of the “Turing Ring” state can be adjusted by precisely controlling the pump power and by detuning. Moreover, the effects of noise can be compensated by resonance drift caused by power and wavelength disturbance to achieve stable operation. This study provides a critical foundation for experiments based on microcavity quantum sources..

The respiratory measurement and classification system based on fiber Bragg grating is studied in this paper. In order to facilitate the needs of intelligent wear, the bare fiber grating was encapsulated with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), and the respiratory monitoring system was built to measure the respiratory signal. Four kinds of respiratory signals including breath-holding, cough, normal breathing and post-exercise breathing were collected. Based on wavelet decomposition and reconstruction, the collected respiratory signals were preprocessed and the frequency, amplitude factor, waveform factor and energy of the respiratory signals were extracted as characteristics to distinguish respiratory types. A respiration classification model based on support vector machine (SVM) was constructed, and the model parameters of SVM were optimized by particle swarm optimization. Finally, the classification accuracy was achieved at 97.1875%. The system is characterized by low cost, compact structure and simple design, which can enrich the digital diagnosis and treatment technology..

The light source uses a dispersion-shifted fiber as the nonlinear medium, and its pulse pump light repetition frequency is approximately 50 MHz. The light source has a stable structure and small size. The intensity difference compression characteristics of the light source in a wide range of frequencies are measured and analyzed using a broadband wide difference detector. The results show that the intensity difference noise measured at a frequency less than 65 MHz at room temperature is lower than the shot noise limit; furthermore, the intensity difference compression at 20 MHz is about 3.8 dB. This study lays a foundation for the measurement of the intensity difference squeeze in time domain..
