Zhang Qianqian, Gao Jun, Xu Xiaohong, and Xie Zhao
To study the general traveling properties of polarized light in the scattering medium with the influence of multi-factors, the influence of wavelength, medium thickness, particle parameters and incident polarization state on transmission properties of polarized photons is analyzed systematically. The Monte Carlo methodTo study the general traveling properties of polarized light in the scattering medium with the influence of multi-factors, the influence of wavelength, medium thickness, particle parameters and incident polarization state on transmission properties of polarized photons is analyzed systematically. The Monte Carlo method is adapted to track polarization state changes of each photon, and the Stokes vector and polarization information after multiple scattering are obtained through statistical analysis of the polarization curve, and the traveling rules of polarized light in scattering medium are analyzed. Simulation results show that the particles with relative larger scale parameter have smaller changes on the incident light polarization state. Linear polarization light is good at keeping the polarization state. Circular polarization light can restore the polarization state in a short time. The larger the particle radius is, the stronger the recovering ability is, and the direction of rotation of the electric vector changes during the process of transmission..

Periodontal slice is treated by cyclooxygenase-2 (COTo investigate blood vessel remodeling in the process of He-Ne laser irradition on periodontium of experimental tooth movement, a He-Ne laser with weavelength of 632.8 nm and power of 20 mW is used to irradiate the periodontium of experimental tooth movement in rats. Periodontal slice is treated by cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) immunohistochemistry dyeing and the results are obtained by image analysis. The results show that the COX-2 expression in periodontium with forced time of 3, 5, 7 d are significantly higher in experimental side than that of control side in the pressure region. While in the tension region, the COX-2 expression in periodontium with forced time of 1, 3, 5, 7 d are significantly higher in experimental side than that of control side. The results indicate that He-Ne laser can increase COX-2 expression in periodontium during the tooth movement in rats, thus probably enhance the vascularization of tooth movement..

Qin Yi, Gong Qiong, Li Genquan, and Yang Xingqiang
A novel optical encryption system is proposed by combining the optical principle of interference and diffraction. In this system, the original image is hidden into three masks, including two phase only masks (POMs) and one amplitude only mask (AOM). The AOM is randomly generated by computer while the POMs are obtained A novel optical encryption system is proposed by combining the optical principle of interference and diffraction. In this system, the original image is hidden into three masks, including two phase only masks (POMs) and one amplitude only mask (AOM). The AOM is randomly generated by computer while the POMs are obtained analytically. For decryption, the diffraction field of the two POMs is first superposed by utilizing the beam splitters and then modulated by the amplitude mask. After that the wavefront propagates for a certain distance and the intensity of the complex field, which is exactly the original image, can be recorded by CCD camera. Compared with the existing interference-based method, the approach is simple and easy to be realized by optical elements. Moreover, the silhouette problem that exists in the method with two POMs can be solved in our method. At the same time, the proposal is also proved to be robust to partial key exposure attack. Simulation results are presented to verify the validity of the proposed approach..

Effects of the gap between two lap welding sheets on the porosity have been studied using fiber laser to weld 5754 aluminum alloy. It is found that setting a proper gap between two sheets can provide a passage for the escape of the porosity and decrease the porosity rate. When the gap changes from 0 to 0.2 mm, because of the capillary phenomenon, the escaping passage is closed by the solidification of the liquid weld metal, and the porosity decreases little. When the gap changes from 0.30 mm to 0.75 mm, the capillary phenomenon of the liquid weld metal between the gap weakens. So this part of weld metal is close to the fusion line and keeps liquid state. Then the escaping passage is opened and the porosity decreases obviously. It is also found that as the gap increases, the shear stress increases a lot..

With preheating temperature increasing,Due to existence of chill microstructure and cracks, influence of flaw control with laser cladding NiCuFeBSi alloy and preheating are investigated. Mechanical property of alloy is estimated as well. Results show that chill microstructure width of NiCuFeBSi alloy is extremely low. With preheating temperature increasing, the chill microstructure become discontinuous. Because of the generation of chill microstructure in semi-molten zone, microhardness in this zone is highest while descending at two sides of interface. Tensile strength of alloy is higher than HT250, furthermore, tensile strength along cross direction is higher than longitudinal direction. However, tensile strength of butt samples is lowest because of heat affection. Failure type of claddings is mainly cleavage fracture mixing quasi-cleavage fracture..

Ge Maozhong, Xiang Jianyun, and Zhang Yongkang
In order to study the effect of laser shock processing (LSP) on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of welded magnesium alloy, tungsten inert-gas (TIG) welded AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets surface is processed using NdYAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, a pulse width of 15 ns, a pulse energy of 4 J and a spot diametIn order to study the effect of laser shock processing (LSP) on the stress corrosion cracking (SCC) of welded magnesium alloy, tungsten inert-gas (TIG) welded AZ31B magnesium alloy sheets surface is processed using NdYAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, a pulse width of 15 ns, a pulse energy of 4 J and a spot diameter of 3 mm. At room temperature, the SCC susceptibility of the weldment samples with and without laser treatment is assessed by three points loading method in deionized water. The microstructure of specimens by LSP and fracture surfaces are analyzed by optical microscopy (OM), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively. The results show that a nanostructured surface layer can be produced on welded AZ31B Mg alloys by using optimized laser parameters and surface nano grain size is about 35 nm. The surface residual stress is converted from tensile stress (60 MPa) to compressive stress (-125 MPa). LSP can reduce the corrosion trend of the weldment samples because corrosion potential increases by 88 mV and corrosion current decreases by 73.4% as compared to the samples without LSP. SCC appeares on samples without laser treatment after 192 h of immersion, however, no cracks is observed on samples treated by laser after 10 months, which shows that LSP can obviously improve the resistance to stress corrosion cracking of TIG welded AZ31B magnesium alloy..

The steady-state model and segmentation algorithm are employed to study the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) properties of the SOA, then two kinds of the tunable ring lasers based on SOA (SOA-TRL) are investigated with the Gaussian or Fabry-Perot (F-P) filter. The evolutions of the output spectra and the peak power are demonstrated with the round trip of the light traveling in the ring cavity, which show the lasing process from the ASE to laser. It shows that the F-P filter can improve the wavelength tuning speed because the SOA-TRL with an F-P filter can establish the laser within only a few round trips, and it could be designed for some high speed applications..

The simulated results show that, when the delay times of two optical feedbacks are close to each other, and have a difference of about a half of the SL relaxation oscillation period, the characteristic value of PE reaches a maximum, and the most complex chaotic output can be obtained. With the increase of the strength of two optical feedbacks, the characteristic value of PE firstly experiences a rapid increasing process and then decreases gradually. Thus, the high characteristic values of PE and high complexity chaos output can be founded within a certain range of feedback strengths. Moreover, under different feedback strength settings, the characteristic value of PE for double optical feedback system is always higher than that for single optical feedback system..

The deformation of cavity induced by the vibration degrades the length stability of the cavity and laser produce frequency noise. Finite element analysis (FEA) is often used to examine the deformation of the cavity at arbitrary acceleration. A general expression of the change of the cavity length induced by the displacements and tilting angles of the cavity mirrors is deduced. This expression provides the definite connection between the cavity deformation and the vibration sensitivity. Based on this method, it is analyzed that the vibration sensitivity of a horizontal optical cavity, and its sensitivity to vibration can be reduced by optimizing the mounting configurations. In addition, a compact vibration platform that is able to shake the optical cavity in three orthogonal directions is designed..

The influence from the puThe intensity noise properties of the monolithic Nd:YAG nonplanar ring oscillator are investigated via full quantum theory. By theoretical analysis and simulation, it is obtained that the relaxation oscillation is influenced mainly by the vacuum fluctuation, dipole fluctuation and cavity loss. The influence from the pump noise and spontaneous emission noise is relatively small. Meanwhile, the optoelectronic negative feedback of intensity noise is theoretically analyzed, which can provide a theoretical basis for the design of the noise suppression circuit. Based on this theory, the noise suppression circuit is designed which has better phase advance, low noise, wide bandwidth and adequate gain. Experimentally, a satisfied noise suppression result is achieved. For the noise with a relaxation oscillation frequency of 311 kHz, the experimental result shows that the relaxation oscillation noise peak value is reduced about 39 dB, and the intensity noise level is lower than -115 dB/Hz in the entire spectrum..

An experiment using the continuous wave (CW) operation mode, single resonant optical parametric oscillator and external cavity structure is carried out based on the PPMgLN crystal. Experimental results indicate that the widely tunable near-infrared spectrum from 1435.9 to 1670.2 nm and mid-infrared spectrum from 4185.0 to 2970.4 nm are obtained. The maximum total signal and idler output power at 30.5 μm poling period is 4.29 W when pump power is 11.79 W, which corresponds to an optical-optical efficiency of 36.4%. Coexistent CW OPO and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) are demonstrated with 28.5, 30.0 and 30.5 μm poling periods. With the loss of SRS increasing, 1.98 W of the maximum idler output power at 3451 nm is obtained, corresponding to an optical-optical efficiency of 16.8%. An extra-cavity, widely tunable, high power and continuous wave singly resonant CW-PPMgLN-OPO at the signal and idler wavelength is realized, and the coexistent Raman scattering has an important effect on the output of the idler..

To suppress this AM effect of output third-harmonic generation pulse, an added narrowband Ndglass laser pulse is mixed with the broadband laser pulse in the sum-frequency process of tripling configuration. Numerical results show that the limited phase-matching bandband due to the group-velocity-mismatch effects are substantially alleviated with the assist of a narrowband pulse. As a result, for a required third-harmonic wave with 1 THz bandwidth, the defined relative modulation of pulse intensity is as large as 180% in the conventional baseline design, while it will be reduced to only 20% by using the proposed scheme..

At a laser power density of 13Multilayer graphene generated by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method is irradiated by CO2 laser in vacuum with different power densities and irradiation time. Raman spectroscopy is used to clarify the influences of laser power density and irradiation time on the structure modification. At a laser power density of 13 W/cm2, the decrease of D-band and the increase of G-band intensity are due to the reduction of defects. In contrast, the sample irradiated with higher power density shows that the D-band intensity increase dramatically caused by the laser thermal effects. Nanocrystalline graphene is formed as the defects after irradiation at higher power desities. With increasing irradiation time to 120 s, amorphous carbon is formed at the surface of graphene at a lase power density of 58 W/cm2. These results show that proper irradiation of CO2 laser can improve the charactervstics of graphene..

When highly collimated diode laser incidents on the interface between thin films and air, the curve of refBased on the reflection principle of polarized light and measurement of multi-angle multi-fitting algorithm, the accurate measurements of the refractive indexes and thicknesses for the film materials are achieved. When highly collimated diode laser incidents on the interface between thin films and air, the curve of reflectivity varying with the incident angle is obtained by gradually rotating the sample or changing the incident angle of the sample surface. Multiple solutions of film thicknesses and refractive indexes can be solved by using reflectivities from the different angles in this curve based on calculation formula.

He Yu, Zhao Lixin, Tang Yan, Chen Mingyong, and Zhu Jiangping
Photon sieve is a diffractive optical element with large chromatic aberration, which is not suitable for imaging in wide spectral. The focal length of photon sieve decreases when the incident wavelength increases, while the focal length of positive refractive lens increases when the incident wavelength increases. The dPhoton sieve is a diffractive optical element with large chromatic aberration, which is not suitable for imaging in wide spectral. The focal length of photon sieve decreases when the incident wavelength increases, while the focal length of positive refractive lens increases when the incident wavelength increases. The design applying the method of hybrid refractive-diffractive into the photon sieve achromatic is proposed. These opposite dispersive characteristics are used in this method. A plano-convex len is placed close to side of a photon sieve in order to achieve achromatic design. Then the achromatic system is designed in the visible spectrum. The analysis shows that the system is achromatic and has a certain ability of secondary spectrum correction. The relative error between focal lengths of achromatic wavelength and centre wavelength is 0.33%. The imaging spectral bandwidth is 20 nm. Compared with ordinary single photon sieve, the design broadens the imaging spectrum range. Compared with the hybrid refractive-diffractive system using zone plate, a smaller focusing spot can be achieved..

The parameters of peak Strehl ratio、encircled energy Strehl ratio and beam quality factor are taken to evaluate far-field spot quality, and the Monte Carlo method is used to analyze the influence of four kinds of threshold method on calculation results of far-field spot quality when signal noise ratio (SNR) or turbulence strength is different. The results show that accurately measurement results of far-field spot quality are premised on adequately high SNR; if the SNR and turbulence strength are fixed, the threshold method of subtracting average background voltage of CCD and reserving random noise is the better choice to obtain the higher calculation accuracy of spot quality..

Besides, the measurement technology is carried on picosecond short-pulse optical parametric chirped pulse amplification (OPCPA) pump source. The results show that the impact of parametric fluorescence on the measurement is largely eliminated by large-angle noncollinear phase matching, furthermore, by reducing the background noise the dynamic range can achieve about 107. Because of the asymmetry of cross-correlation technique, the correlator can also analyze temporal profile. The results indicate that pulse front edge is coincident with sech type curve, and pulse back edge has good agreement with Gauss type curve..

A LPFG is divided into two sections with equal length. One section is eroded using HF acid. So the two sections can be regarded as two LPFGs with different resonant wavelengths. Spectral characteristics of this in-series LPFG are analyzed using dispersion equation of three-layer dielectric fiber. It is found that the distance between two resonant wavelengths increases with the decrease of the cladding radius, and the distance also increases with higher-order mode. At the same time, strain and temperature are measured synchronously, and the sensing precisions of strain and temperature are ±8.9 με and 1.4 ℃, respectively. Semi-etched long period fiber grating can solve the cross sensitive problems of different physical quantities effectively..

Coarse registraIterative closest point (ICP) algorithm is widely used in multi-view fine registration of 3D point clouds, while its accuracy and convergence to global optimization depend on initial registration position. It fails when a great difference exists to initial position of the waited registered point clouds. Coarse registration aims to provide a good initial registration position for ICP. A new coarse registration algorithm—iterative least space distribution entropy is proposed based on the space distribution of point clouds, and the concept of entropy is used for describing this distribution law according to information theory. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can offer a good initial registration position for ICP and it owns a high efficiency and can realize registration without using ICP under precision permission..

According to the theory of Fresnel diffraction, the character of specular reflection and statistical regularity of the ocean surface profile, the analytic expression of detector output and the average received photons are deduced which are used for ocean altimeter and different from the results of Tsai under the condition of near-normal incidence. The simulated waveform is established for laser altimeter with microradian beam divergence and compared with the real geoscience laser altimeter system (GLAS) received signal. The energy, root mean square (RMS) width, amplitude and shape are very similar and the errors between simulated and real waveforms are all less than 6%. The parameters of received signal are related to the altimeter systems and the wind speed over the ocean surface, and taking the GLAS parameters for example, the valid ocean waveforms can be hardly got when the wind speed exceeds 12 m/s. The analysis and conclusion are important theory basis for the design of laser altimeter system and the wind speed calculation over the ocean surface..
