The wave optics method is adopted In this paper, thermal blooming of high power laser affected by the convective wind has been simulated numerically and studied. Turbulences are simulated with the RANS/LES hybrid method, coupled with the J-B model. The duel time steps method is used for solving unsteady flow problems. The wave optics method is adopted to simulate beam propagation through both flow field and free space. Based on far field spot, qualitative and quantitative analysis has been carried out. Thermal blooming of Gauss beam with power of 0.1 MW and diameter of 0.1 m, affected by the convective wind at different velocities as follows 1, 5 and 10 m/s, has been investigated. Results show that thermal blooming affected by the wind is unsteady. The lower velocity of the convective wind, the stronger thermal blooming. And especially which of the velocity of 1 m/s is the strongest and aberration of whose far field spot is the most severe. The unsteady property of thermal blooming is more visible as the velocity is lower. For example, thermal blooming at the velocity of 1 m/s is still changing in 5 s, but those at the 5 m/s or 10 m/s have trended to steady state after 3 s..

In the scheme, terahertz wave is obtained via carrier-suppression double sideband (DSB) modulation, one sideband of terahertz wave then undergo the fisrt single sideband (SSB) modulation and the second baseband SSB modulation in the process of data modulation, which achieves cascade SSB modulation. As can ben seen from the sumulation result, for mid-frequency carrier of 0.1 THz, the bit error rate (BER) performance without dispersion compensation achives 1×10-11 and the sensitivity of the receiver is -26.6 dBm with a data rate of 5 Gb/s after 100 km transmission. Through comparing the power penalty of DSB and DSSB, we demonstrated the optical SSB modulation has better dispersion tolerance. This paper also shows the contrastive curves of frequency selective fading for the SSB and DSB modulated signals, which definitely demonstrates the existence of dispersion fading during the DSB transmission as well as the effective suppression of the fading implemented by the SSB modulation. The novel scheme′s preferences is excelled than the conventional scheme′s, which is demonstrated by these theory and simulation..

TheThe principles of the splice loss between the germanium doped core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) and single mode fiber (SMF) at the wavelength of 1550 nm are investigated by the full-vector finite element method. The mismatch of mode field between the PCF and SMF is the main factor resulting in the high splice loss. The real structure profile is extracted to exactly simulate the splice loss due to the mismatch of mode field. Based on the arc fusion technique, a set of optimized fusion parameters are obtained from a series of experiments, and the repeat-discharge operation are used to make sure moderate collapse of the cladding air holes of the germanium doped core PCF. Then the mismatch of mode field could be reduced and the low loss splicing between PCF and SMF is realized..

Long-distance sensing Brillouin scattering distributed opticalFor the standard single-mode optical fiber, the frequency shift of Brillouin scattering light is the function of the temperature or strain. The temperature or strain of the optical fiber can be obtained when Brillouin frequency shift is able to be detected. Long-distance sensing Brillouin scattering distributed optical fiber sensor (DOFS) has two structures of optical time-domain analyzer (OTDA) and optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR). Although Brillouin OTDR only process single end of the optical fiber, it suffers short sensing distance because of weak spontaneous Brillouin scattering. Brillouin OTDA possesses the merit of long-distance sensing for the relatively strong stimulated Brillouin scattering. One key point of achieving Brillouin OTDA is to produce the frequency-shifted probe light. Here, an optical fiber laser with linewidth less than 1 MHz is employed as the single optical source, a microwave electro-optical modulator is used to produce the frequency-shifted probe light, and a method of orthogonal polarization control is adopted to reduce the effect of the optical-polarization-related problem. A laboratorial system of 50 km distributed optical sensor is achieved with 2 ℃ in temperature resolution, and 10 m in spatial resolution..

Based on the transmission characteristic of TOF, nonlinearity real-time calibration system is established. Using least mean square algorithm, the relationship between wavelength and voltage of the TOF can be obtained. Thus the nonlinearity of the TOF can be described.

Study has been done to explore the integration of carbon nanotubes and optical fiber apparatus. The physical absorption and desorption characteristic of carbon nanotubes is utilized to realize the measurement of gas or volatile organic solvent (VOS). When fiber cladding is partially removed, the evanescent wave theory is utilized to select the appropriate diameter of fiber cladding, thus the system is sensitive to ambient refractive index and loss can be controlled. A pulsed laser beam with width of 2.5 ns according to the nonlinear polarization dependent mode locking technique is introduced into the ring-down system, and hence, our principle is validated by the highly-sensitive temperature-insensitive measurement of evanescent wave absorption loss..

It has good environmental adaptability, simple system structure, and high sensitivity. But there is a conflict between the spatial resolution and the signal sensitivity in the system, namely, when increasing pulse width of the probe pulse to improve the signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the detected signal, the spatial resolution is degraded simultaneously. Simplex code is used to overcome this conflict between the SNR and the spatial resolution. Using the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation, the Simplex code′s effect on Raman DOFS has been studied. In realizing a coding DOFS, there exits a problem of how to achieve high-power coding pump light, because the usual methods, such as pulsed-laser or internal modulation, can not be used. A method based on external modulation and optical amplifier is chosen, and a 4.7 km Simplex coding Raman DOFS experimental system has been set up. The results show that the 7-bit simplex code can improve the SNR of the detecting signal by around 1.6 times..

A 1050 m long fiber is tested and the measurement sensitivity and spatial resolution are determined. The relationship between coupling intensity and the size of the force as well as the influence of temperature on the system are tested. The experimental results show that the maximum detectable fiber length is longer than 1000 m. The measurement sensitivity and spatial resolution will decrease with the increase of fiber length. The temperature impact on this sensing system is very small when it is lower than 100 ℃. The influence of birefringence dispersion of the PMF on the system is also analyzed. The measurement sensitivity can be improved by a rotatable half wave plate to adjust the rotation polarization angle of the analyzer. The measurement sensitivity of the sensing system is 85 dB and the maximum spatial resolution is 98 mm by adjusting the rotation polarization angle of the analyzer..

This fabrication method is to write the LPFG on one side by CO2 laser, and then write the LPFG again on the other side with the same grating pitch and exposure energy. Under the action of the two exposure directions, the fiber refractive index was periodically modulated twice. Asymmetric thermal stress analysis results shown that the resonant peak of LPFG can shift in direction of either shorter or longer wavelengths, depending on the angle difference Δθ between two exposure directions changes in the second writing process. It is confirmed by the experimental results. We found this technique could be used in wavelength tunable LPFG fabrication or fiber optic sensors design to control and improve the characteristics of the components..

Considering the linewidth of the light source, the power transmission coefficient is amended and the theoretical formula of the sensitivityIn the experimental research and industry applications of the fiber Bragg grating-based Fabry-Perot interfirometric (FBG FPI) sensor, its sensitivity has been widespread concerned. Considering the linewidth of the light source, the power transmission coefficient is amended and the theoretical formula of the sensitivity is deduced. Then, the key influence factors on the sensor sensitivity are discussed, including the cavity length, the coherence length of the light source, and the reflectivity of the FBG. The results show that the smaller the ratio between the cavity length and the coherence length is, the higher the sensitivity will be. When the ratio is chosen, there is an optimum reflectivity. If the reflectivity of FBG equals the optimum, the sensitivity is the highest. The results of comparison experiment on the sensitivity with different cavity lengths and sensitivity experiment on different reflectivities verify the correctness of the theoretical simulation..

In order to obtain a stable output power of the SFS, a novel hybrid controller is designed, which combines the digital fuzzy control with the analog proportional control. Because both the high and low frequency noises can be constrained by the hybrid controller efficiently, the stability of output power of the SFS is clearly improved. The experimental results show that, with the hybrid controller, the short-term stability of output power of the SFS is ±0.032%(±0.0014 dB), and the long-term stability of that is ±0.041%(±0.0018 dB)..

According to the accuracy model, a method which uses techniques of image registration and superposition is presented to improve ranging accuracy in airborne applications. For differences of distance accuracy among range image sequences, a weighted processing before registration is used for the purpose of assigning high weights to pixels with high accuracy, and a registration method called up-sampled phase correlation is used to locate image sequences accurately. The range images after registration are weighted superposed to minimize range error. Theoretical analysis shows that this method can effectively integrate detected signals among different frames. If n frames range images are superposed, the range error will be 1/n of one frame. Simulation and experimental results are demonstrated to verify the effectiveness of this method..

The new algorithm incorporates the visual region of the monocular laser-vision system with the limit visual surface of unknown model and selects the suitability of viewpoints as the NBV on scanning coverage. The limit visual surface is modeled by the known surface data obtained from initial view and is used to predict the maximal unknown object surface information.
