Fei Liang, Cheng He, Yanfeng Chen, Haohai Yu, and Huaijin Zhang
Electron-phonon coupling effect is an important physical phenomenon for laser wavelength extension in solid-state laser materials.

This review summarized the history of tunable solid-state lasers, namely, color-center, transition-metal, and rare-earth lasers, focusing on the spectral homogeneous broadening induced by the electron-phonon coupling effect. Recently, based on the multiphonon-coupling theory, an ultrabroadband laser emission far beyond the fluorescence spectrum was reported,thus greatly extending the available laser wavelengths. Moreover, various self-frequency doubling lasers were developed by combining the multiphonon-coupling and nonlinear-optical-conversion into one single crystal, thereby creating some low-cost and compact visible laser modules, covering the cyan-green-yellow-orange-red spectral range. These newly developed laser sources can meet the urgent demand of laser-based surgery and laser display applications, which can push and promote the rapid development of the all-solid-state laser technology..

China's Top 10 Optical Breakthroughs: Sub-50-ns Ultrafast Upconversion Luminescence of Rare-Earth-Doped Nanoparticle
Bowen Kang, Huan Chen, Zhenglong Zhang, and Hairong Zheng
Rare-earth-doped upconversion nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention because of their stable, narrowband, and multi-color luminescence, which features less crosstalk, photo-blinking, and photo-bleaching compared with quantum dots and organic dyes. However, rare-earth ions exhibit long luminescence decay tiRare-earth-doped upconversion nanoparticles have attracted considerable attention because of their stable, narrowband, and multi-color luminescence, which features less crosstalk, photo-blinking, and photo-bleaching compared with quantum dots and organic dyes. However, rare-earth ions exhibit long luminescence decay times (ranging from microseconds to milliseconds), low quantum efficiency, weak luminescence intensity, and nondirectional far-field emission, restricting their application in time-dependent nanophotonic devices. Optical fields and electron excitations are coupled in plasmonic nanocavities, which is beneficial for significantly shortening the luminescence decay time, improving the quantum efficiency, enhancing the upconversion luminosity efficiency, and effectively controlling the emission direction. The paper reviews recent progress in nanocavity modulation of rare-earth ion luminescence, with a focus on the work of nanocavity modulation of rare-earth ions to achieve sub-50-ns ultrafast upconversion luminescence, and prospects for its applications in single-photon sources, quantum communication devices, and nanolasers..

Haisheng Song, Rongni Pang, and Xiao Cai

In particular, the different characteristic energies of a detector are measured in response to a point source 25 cm away from the HPGe probe. The experimental detection efficiency of γ-rays is compared with the simulation detection efficiency, and the influence of the dead layer on the detector efficiency of the HPGe crystal surface is studied by means of Geant4 simulations. The detection efficiency of the model is corrected by modifying the thickness of the upper and lower dead layers in turn, and the parameters of the Monte Carlo geometric model of the detector are optimized. Thereafter, the simulated efficiency of the optimized model is again compared with the measured efficiency of the point source, and the full energy peak efficiency curve of the HPGe detector in the range of 59.54‒1406 keV is obtained. The experimental measurement results show good agreement with the Monte Carlo simulations, exhibiting a relative error within 5%. The experimental results also demonstrate that the thickness of the dead layer on the surface of the HPGe crystal changes with the aging of the detector. After 7 years, the thickness of the dead layer increases from 0.5 mm to approximately 140 mm±0.05 mm..

Jinxiao Li, Zhen Liu, Sican Ye, Ao Lu, Wenyuan Hua, Ning Dang, and Dawei Yan
In this study, we demonstrate the preparation of P-I-N type GaN ultraviolet (UV) detectors on self-supported substrates, and then investigate their forward current transport mechanisms.

Moreover, the effectiIn this study, we demonstrate the preparation of P-I-N type GaN ultraviolet (UV) detectors on self-supported substrates, and then investigate their forward current transport mechanisms. The results show that the electron diffusion current starts to dominate only when the forward voltage VF>2 V. Moreover, the effective forbidden bandwidth Eg~2.21 eV is much lower than the ideal value, which can be attributed to the energy band perturbation introduced by the conductive dislocations. An ideal factor n>2 when 1.35 V<VF<2 V indicates that the electron defect-assisted tunneling current is the dominant current component. The current has a negative temperature coefficient, which is primarily caused by the increase in the effective forbidden bandwidth of the electron once it is excited to a higher energy conduction band. In the VF<0.8 V and 0.8 V<VF<1.35 V regions, the current-voltage curves are power dependent; this behavior is consistent with the electron space charge confinement mechanism. The power factors are eight and four, respectively, and two different effective energy bandwidths, corresponding to two exponentially decaying defect state distributions, are obtained from the characteristic temperature..

Xu Zhou, Chunyi Chen, Haiyang Yu, Xiaolong Ni, and Xiaojuan Hu
In free-space optical communication, vortex-superimposed beams with different radius combinations can transmit more information at the same channel overhead. However, the vortex beam undergoes phase disturbances owing to atmospheric turbulence, affecting the ability to identify its orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes.In free-space optical communication, vortex-superimposed beams with different radius combinations can transmit more information at the same channel overhead. However, the vortex beam undergoes phase disturbances owing to atmospheric turbulence, affecting the ability to identify its orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes. Existing models cannot precisely identify OAM superimposed beam modes perturbed by random atmospheric turbulence. Therefore, a deep learning recognition method based on attention mechanism is proposed. The attention mechanism module is embedded in VGG-16 to improve the perception performance of the model for superimposed beam modes in different states. In addition, the atmospheric turbulence is simulated using the power spectrum inversion method to simulate the actual state of turbulence, and subharmonics are used to compensate for the low-frequency information of the random turbulence screen. An OAM superimposed beam dataset affected by random turbulence is established, and the proposed model is trained using this dataset. The experimental results show that under the condition of unknown atmospheric turbulence intensity, the accuracy of the proposed method compared to those of traditional methods improves by up to 4.46%. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the model for identifying OAM superimposed beams. In addition, the proposed model exhibits good robustness and generalization ability. This study provides a new method for identifying OAM modes..

The rectangular pulse in the modulation system is first transformed into a linear sweep pulse, and long-distance and high-spatial-resolution sensing is realized by compressing the pulse and matching filtering. Through simulation and experimental verifications, a narrow line-width laser with a line width of approximately 10 kHz is selected as the light source. Electro-optical and acousto-optical modulations determine the frequency scanning range and time as 5.6‒5.8 GHz and 2 μs, respectively. Linear sweep signal modulation obtains a sensing distance of 10 km, and the intensity range of the received back Rayleigh scattering signal is -60~-50 dBm..

In this study, a two-dimensional (2D) absolute metrology method is developed that is based on the laser interferometer translational shear method for high aspect ratio rectangular flat mirrors used in X-rays. In this method, translational measurements in orthogonal directions are replaced with multiple shifted measurements in a single direction. In addition, a multi-matrix augmented zonal method reconstruction algorithm is derived to obtain the absolute surface shape of high-precision rectangular flat mirrors. Through simulations, the root mean square (RMS) of the residuals between the reconstructed absolute surface shape and initial surface shape is 0.03 nm (~λ/20000) without considering noise. Surface shape recovery under different numbers of translations and translation distances when considering Gaussian noise is then simulated and analyzed, and an experimental verification is performed for a rectangular plane mirror of 120 mm×40 mm. The measured absolute surface shape recovery is determined as 1.07 nm (λ/591) using the RMS of the absolute surface shape residual obtained by the three-plane method. Both simulations and experiments show that the proposed method can effectively obtain the 2D absolute surface shape of a high-precision rectangular planar mirror. Unidirectional translation thus lays the foundation for establishing multi-aperture stitching measurements based on absolute measurements..

Self-Calibration Method for Roll Angle Measurements of Dual Beams Based on Polarization
Fengrui Ma, Fajie Duan, Wenzheng Liu, Xiao Fu, and Cong Zhang
When dual beams are used to measure the roll angle, the angle between the double-collimated beams is easily disturbed by environmental changes, mechanical deformation, and other factors, which seriously affect measurement accuracy. The roll angle measured by the dual beam is sensitive to the spot position. By contrast,When dual beams are used to measure the roll angle, the angle between the double-collimated beams is easily disturbed by environmental changes, mechanical deformation, and other factors, which seriously affect measurement accuracy. The roll angle measured by the dual beam is sensitive to the spot position. By contrast, the roll angle measured by polarization depends on the polarization state of the incident light and is relatively less affected by laser angle drift. Therefore, to improve the accuracy of the roll error in five-degree-of-freedom measurements at long distances, a polarization-based roll angle optical path is proposed. The path is used to measure the roll angle of the sensor at different positions, calculate the angle between the dual beams, and perform calibrations, thus improving measurement accuracy. The test results show that in the measurement range of 0.75‒2.00 m, the roll angle measurement error after compensation is reduced by 88.97%. This meets the long-distance roll angle measurement requirements for high precision and easy installation..

Atomic Emission Spectrometry Oil Detection Technology Based on Double Turntable Electrode Structure
Bin Chen, Xiao Fu, Fajie Duan, Yu Yan, Jinfan Huang, and Guoshun Zhong
Atomic emission spectroscopy of turntable electrode (RDE-AES) is widely used in oil detection because of its simple operation, no need for sample preparation, and high reliability. However, the arc is the primary light source used in this technology. The instability of the arc caused by the change in the discharge gap Atomic emission spectroscopy of turntable electrode (RDE-AES) is widely used in oil detection because of its simple operation, no need for sample preparation, and high reliability. However, the arc is the primary light source used in this technology. The instability of the arc caused by the change in the discharge gap induced by electrode wear and other factors leads to errors between the analysis results of the last collected spectral data and the actual situation. Herein, a method using atomic emission spectrometry with an oil detection device based on the “double turntable” electrode structure is proposed. In other words, the rod electrode in the traditional “rod turntable” electrode structure is replaced by a turntable electrode that can rotate. Its significant advantage is that it reduces the detection error caused by electrode wear. For its structural physical modeling, the process of arc excitation is simulated by COMSOL multi physical field simulation software. Further, the changing rules of electrode gap, oil film thickness, and external excitation on the arc excitation effect are explored using the control variable method. The effects of the influencing factors on the arc excitation time and instantaneous excitation temperature are obtained, and the parameters are optimized according to the simulation results. The simulation results show that the excitation effect of the “double turntable" electrode structure is significantly improved compared with the traditional structure, and the excitation time and temperature are improved to a certain extent. In particular, the arc excitation effect is stable in mass testing, which verifies the progressiveness and practicability of this method. It also provides analytical support for in-depth research on oil detection using the method based on turntable electrode atomic emission spectrometry..

In this paper, an optimal allocation method of damage test points based on Monte Carlo method is proposed to improve the accuracy of LIDT fitting results. According to the limited irradiation test area and irradiation spot size of the test sample, a nonlinear degenerate defect damage model is simulated, and the sensitivity analysis of the influence of test points change on the fitting LIDT results at different fluence levels is analyzed. Then, according to the setting parameters of damage model, a model is established to generate relevant damage data. The number of test points at each specified fluence level is changed by the control variable method, with the number of test points unchanged at the rest of the fluences.The Monte Carlo method is used to perform multiple simulation calculations on all damage data. The relationship curve between the standard deviation of the fitting results and the test points is drawn, so as to calculate the sensitivity of the corresponding test points to the standard deviation of the damage threshold fitting result. Finally, a more reasonable allocation of test points under each fluence is carried out with this sensitivity as the weight. The results show that the standard deviation of the fitting result of the sensitivity weight method is 0.272 J/cm2, which is about 31% lower than the standard deviation of 0.395 J/cm2 in the standard distribution method..

Moreover, the effect of different process parameters on roughness is analyzed, and cross-sectional metallographic observations, element content, and compound analysis of the cleaned sample surface are carried out. From hardness test and electrochemical analysis, it is found that the minimum roughness of sample surface is 3.94 μm, and the laser cleaning effect is the best when the cleaning speed is constant at 100 mm·s-1, laser power is 4 kW, Fe content is the highest, and O content is the lowest. When the laser power is constant at 7 kW, and the cleaning speed increases from 100 mm·s-1 to 500 mm·s-1, the surface roughness of the specimen first decreases and then increases. The minimum roughness is 3.68 μm when the cleaning speed is 400 mm·s-1, at which time the laser can completely clean the rust layer in a single scan, and its cleaning efficiency is 20.6 m2·h-1. A remelted layer is generated on the surface of the cleaned substrate, which improves the corrosion resistance of the substrate surface after cleaning the rust layer, and its hardness is approximately 4 times higher than that of the steel when the laser power is 7 kW and the cleaning speed is 100 mm·s-1. A continuous rectangular spot laser cleaning model is created using Ansys software and its results are compared with the experimental results to determine the parameters and estimate their effects for the high power continuous laser cleaning process..

When the mass fraction of TiB2 added wasTi6Al4V powder added TiB2 particles with a mass fraction of 0%~5% was melted using selective laser melting to produce the in-situ TiB/Ti6Al4V composites to study the forming properties, microstructure evolution, and mechanical properties of samples with different TiB2 additions. When the mass fraction of TiB2 added was 1%, the α′-Ti in the microstructure of the sample gradually disappeared, and a dispersedly distributed unit cell like TiB was observed. Further addition of TiB2 caused the strengthening method of the material to evolve from dispersion strengthening to whisker strengthening. Simultaneously, TiB in the grain boundary was enriched to form a dendritic structure and a network structure. The in-situ TiB as a nucleation point can remarkably enhance the hardness and friction performances of the TiB/Ti6Al4V sample under the action of fine grain strengthening, solid solution strengthening, and whisker strengthening. As a result, the microhardness of the sample increased from (336.8±6.64) HV to (498.07±12.56) HV, and the wear mechanism of the sample changed from adhesive wear to abrasive wear. When the mass fraction of TiB2 added was 1%, better wear performance was obtained..

In this study, the surface of experimental marking samples is measured using a laser scanning microscope, and the mechanism of picosecond laser blackening is analyzed through the theoretical modeling of electromagnetic waves. Consequently, a dense peak-valley morphology with different maximum height values on the micro-nano scale is formed on the surface of the laser marking samples. The results indicate that a larger maximum height of the micro-nano peak-valley morphology on the sample surface causes a lower surface reflectivity and the formation of black patterns with higher contrasts. Additionally, the contrast obtained using the sample gray value is almost equal to that obtained via theoretical modeling, which proves that the above phenomenon is the main reason for the laser blackening of aluminum alloys..

Based on the Euler-Lagrange formula and Frantz-Nodvik equation, the optimal intensity distribution function of the seed beam under a specific gain distribution is solved by variational method. The effects of the seed beam width, intensity distribution, and gain distribution of the laser amplifier on the power extraction are examined. The results of numerical simulation show that for the laser amplifier with a gain radius of 1 cm, the optimal beam radius of the fundamental mode Gaussian beam with a pulsed seed light power of 500 W is 0.67 cm, and the optimal beam width of the low-power seed light is not equal to the gain width of the amplifier. The optimal beam radius of the higher-order super-Gaussian beam with a pulsed seed power of 2000 W is close to the gain region radius. The optimal beam radius corresponding to the 8-order super-Gaussian beam is 0.9 cm, and the power extraction value is 3409 W. The higher-order gain distribution and the matched super-Gaussian beam can significantly enhance the energy extraction value of the amplifier. The results of this study will provid e theoretical guidance for designing pulsed CO2 main-oscillation power amplifier systems..

A machine vision inspection system for laser cleaning is built, and the MLP neural network is used to identify rust images. The results show that the MLP neural network model has a coverage rate of more than 95% and a false recognition rate of less than 6% for identifying rust from images with different degrees of rust captured under different lighting conditions. The open operation of the image eliminates small misidentified areas, and the minimum external rectangle, which is used as the region of interest for laser cleaning, is generated according to the visual inspection results. The coverage rate of the final region of interest is close to 100%. This method can improve the detection efficiency of rust removal by laser and promote the automation of this process..

A finite element analysis model is established in ANSYS for a long-wave infrared optical lens, and half-sine impact simulation analysis with a peak acceleration of 100g and duration of 6 ms is conducted. The rigid-body displacement, peak to valley (PV), and root mean square (RMS) values of the extracted data are calculated, and the Zernike polynomial is used to fit the lens surface shape after impact to estimate the Zernike coefficient. Correspondingly, the impact on the performance of the infrared optical lens is analyzed. Based on the response surface method, the infrared optical lens is optimized, simulations on the impact of the optimized model are conducted, and comparative analysis is performed. The results show that the maximum deformation and the maximum equivalent stress of the lens after impact are reduced due to the optimization of the infrared optical lens; additionally, the PV and RMS values, which represent the changes in the surface shape of the lens, decrease. Thus, optimizing the structure can reduce the impact to a certain extent..

Hualin Tian, Jiajie Zhang, Ciyuan Qiu, and Yuanhua Feng

However, MRR wavelength shifts caused by manufacturing errors and the high thermal sensitivity of silicon-based devices can lead to unstable operation. Therefore, a corresponding wavelength-locking scheme must be implemented in practice. In this paper, we propose an MRR wavelength-locking system based on differential evolution and digital perturbation. The output optical power is taken as the monitoring variable, and the optimal heating power is searched for the target signal wavelength based on a differential evolution algorithm in the global search stage. Moreover, the error signal is demodulated based on a digital perturbation algorithm in the local locking stage to increase or decrease the heating power to eliminate the interference of ambient temperature fluctuations. After theoretical derivation and experimental verification, it is found that the proposed differential evolution algorithm is approximately four times faster than the traditional step-by-step scanning method for searching for the optimal heating power. We verify the stable locking of the resonant wavelength of the MRR under a 5 ℃ ambient temperature change within 400 s..

Based on the far-field optical reflection and transmission spectra of the silver nanoparticle arrays that are experimentally measured and In this work, we fabricate silver nanoparticle arrays with a small size, high density, and controllable surface densities in a specific range using a rapid thermal annealing method. Based on the far-field optical reflection and transmission spectra of the silver nanoparticle arrays that are experimentally measured and according to a theoretical numerical conversion, the absorption, scattering, and extinction properties of the silver nanoparticle arrays are investigated. The results show that the resonance wavelength derived from the localized surface plasmon tends to redshift with an increase in surface density of the silver nanoparticle arrays (i.e., decreased nanoparticle spacing). In addition, the redshift is more pronounced for stronger coupling interactions between neighboring nanoparticles. This method provides a helpful reference for analyzing localized surface plasmon properties, primarily for small high-density metal nanoparticle arrays with non-negligible inter-particle coupling interactions..

ScaOn the basis of different light guiding principles, hollow-core microstructure fibers can be divided into hollow-core photonic band gap fibers and hollow-core anti-resonant fibers. For these two types of fibers, scattering loss caused by the roughness of the inner wall of the air hole is one of the sources of loss. Scattering loss is the main source of loss in hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers. In hollow-core anti-resonant fibers, scattering loss is also one of the important reasons for loss during operation in the short-wavelength region. To reduce the scattering loss of hollow-core microstructure optical fibers, in-depth research on the roughness of the inner wall of the air hole is necessary. Therefore, in this paper, research progress on the relevant theory, measurement technologies, and suppression methods for the roughness of the inner wall of the air hole in hollow-core microstructure optical fibers are described. Further, relevant theory and experimental results are summarized, and important future research directions are suggested..

Based on these two aspects, a bibliometric analysis of published works in the lithography technology field was performed to investigate the research direction, themes, and development trends in this field. The results show that the output of lithography technology papers is currently declining, and the United States has a leading edge in this research field. Research on optical lithography and masking, photoresist and electron beam lithography, extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography, and other technical topics is still dominated by foreign institutions. China has launched research on emerging themes, including high-numerical-aperture EUV lithography, guided self-assembly lithography, graphene-based materials, and machine learning applications. This study proposes suggestions for improving the overall layout, involved research institutions, enterprise strength, and talent mechanism of lithography technology research and development to provide a scientific basis for decision-making and research directions in related fields..

Terahertz waves are sensitive to weak structural changes and can accurately identify drugs containing the same excipients. The experimental results show that the spectra of the four drugs are distinctly different; thus, THz-TDS technology cannot be used to identify drug components and classify drug effects. Additionally, there are evident differences in the spectral characteristics compared with those of the failed drugs manifested by the shift, addition, and disappearance of absorption peaks. The experimental study provides reference data for drug identification and efficacy identification by THz-TDS..
