Cloud-Scattering Model and Channel Transmission Characteristics Analysis
Song Chao, Xu Zhiyong, and Wang Jingyuan
The cloud-channel transmission characteristics of given wavelength signal are analyzed by setting up a new ground-to-ground cloud-scattering model. By simulation, the predicted path loss of three typical clouds under given transmission configurations are expatiated theoretically and quantitatively. Furthermore, the effThe cloud-channel transmission characteristics of given wavelength signal are analyzed by setting up a new ground-to-ground cloud-scattering model. By simulation, the predicted path loss of three typical clouds under given transmission configurations are expatiated theoretically and quantitatively. Furthermore, the effects of the path loss caused by elevation angles and transmitting beam width divergence are analyzed independently. The results show that the best communication range decreases when the elevation angles increase on the condition that field of view is fixed. When small transmitting beam width divergence is considered(less than 1°), the transmitting elevation angle must be adjusted so as to the facula on the bottom of cloud produced by the transmitting source light locating on the top of the receiver, but when transmitting beam width divergence is large relatively, elevation angles should be adjusted in order to make the first effective scattering volume maximal. The field cloud-scattering path losses on the communication range of 11.7 km under different receiving elevation angles were obtained by experiments carried in Nanjing, and the above analysis was validated by data. The conclusions obtained in this paper are wavelength-relevant, laser diode with 808 nm and 620 nm are chosen as the transmitting source light..

It is very important to find a sacling law to evaluate the performance of adaptive optics compensation for the high power laser propagation in the atmosphere. Adaptive optics system with different spatial bandwidths has been simulated and phase compensation for focused beam under thermal blooming with different transmitter apertures and propagation lengths has been numerically calculated by four-dimensional propagation codes.

Since least-squares phase unwrapping algorithm does not hold back the error diffusing in space, an accurate unwrapped phase cannot be obtained by this algorithm directly, which limits the applications of the algorithms. A novel accurate phase unwrapping algorithm and the corresponding theoretical analysis are presented by analyzing the error characteristics of least-squares phase unwrapping algorithm. The validity of this new algorithm is shown by simulation and experimental examples of unwrapping, and the obtained phase proves that this new algorithm is accurate..

To improve the digital holographic image quality, the recording and reconstruction processes of image-plane digital micro-hologram recorded with spherical reference light are studied theoretically and experimentally. A method for measuring the recording parameters of the holographic imaging system such as the magnification, object distance by using a standard test target is proposed. The two popular phase-unwrapping methods are compared experimentally. The results show that the image-plane digital micro-holography recorded with spherical reference light is characterized by more information recorded, very easy reconstruction and the real-time observation of the investigated specimen for determining the region correctly. The parameters of the holographic system can be determined accurately by using the reconstructed intensity image of a US Air Force test target. The unwrapped phase with big depth sample can be obtained accurately by using the lateral-shearing-based least square (LSBLS) algorithm. Using the edge reorganization technique the cell image can be better displayed..

To avoid the heavy computation burden faced by the traditional recognition methods, a fast ladar target recognition method is proposed. Adopting the coarse-to-fine strategy, the models are quickly pre-screened by using the proposed orthogonal projection contour features (PCF). Then the target is registered with the hypothesis models precisely by using the iterative closest point (ICP) method. Finally, the similarities between the target and models are calculated by integrating the features matching and points matching results. Therefore, the target is recognized to the model who owes the highest similarity. The experiments are performed using the point-clouds of 25 ground targets under 96 different viewing angles. The results show that the proposed method outperforms the existing methods greatly in the term of computation efficiency, and it is very robust to orientation error and occlusion. Thus, this method is the state-of-the-art and have a high application potential..

With high-speed camera and spectrometer, contrast analysis and research are made between method active gas (MAG) arc welding and hybrid arc welding in this paper. The results show that hybrid arc takes on a new shape and has two electric conduction paths independently. This phenomenon is called "double electric conduction mechanism" of the laser-pulse MAG hybrid welding process. This mechanism plays a very important role in maintaining arc stability and getting good appearance of weld during high speed welding process. It is also shown that the establishment of double electric conduction channel exists time sequence. The additional electric conduction channel ignites originally from the laser keyhole and then extends gradually to the whole space of the arc. Welding parameters, including distance between laser and wire, arc voltage and welding speed, have obvious influence on the double electric conduction mechanism..

The microstructure and bonding strength of coating are investigated, and the effect of coating thickness on bonding strength is analyzed. The results show that the laser-clad ceramic coating has no obvious interface between the layers but dense, continuous structure, and there is almost no pore and large penetrating crack. The coating is composed of fully melted regions (fine equiaxed grains) and partially melted regions (remained nanoparticles). In addition, most cracks in the coating are concentrated on the partially melted region. Due to multiple heating by laser beam, the grain size of lower layer is bigger than that of upper layer. The bonding strength of coating decreases with the increase of coating thickness, and the trend is fast at first and then slow. The bonding strength of coating with a thickness of 175 μm is beyond 78.6 MPa, while those of 350, 525, 700 μm thickness coatings are 66.3, 47.4, 36.2 MPa, respectively..

Compared to the interface transition zone and the substrate, the as-deposited TC11 alloy possesses higher tensile strength and lower ductility. The damaged impeller blades are repaired by laser melting deposition in a point-by-point way. After machining and checking, the repaired impeller passes the over speed test and comes into real use..

The cost function is often obtained by collecting the energy in a pinhole, and the diameter of the pinhole has a strong effect on the sign and value of the cost function. The effects of the fill factor of laser array, the number of laser beam, the radius of the light spot and wavelength on the best cost function are analysed in detail. It is found that the fill factor of laser array and the number of laser beams have a little effect on the best diameter of the pinhole for positive cost function which is located on 0.7~0.8 of the width of the main lobe of far field pattern. The radius of the light spot and wavelength have no effect on the best diameter of the pinhole. The best diameter of the pinhole for negative cost function will increase along with the number of laser beams increasing, but the fill factor of laser array has no effect on it..

By adjusting the velocity of gas flow and optimizing the operating condition of laser, the output energy stability of laser in repetition rate mode is studied experimentally with joule level discharged-pumped pulsed HF laser, and the optimal operating condition of laser is obtained. The experimental results show that laser output energy decreases quickly with the repetition rate increasing; and increasing gas circulating velocity is beneficial to improve the discharge stability and the stability of laser output energy in repetition rate mode. When the gas mixture circulates at 3.5 m/s flowing velocity, laser can operate at repetition rate from 1 Hz to 50 Hz and operating stability keeps well. Under these conditions, each laser pulse of 130 mJ is obtained stably, and the fluctuation of output energy is about 5%..

The average grain size of nanocrystalline silicon, the optical band-gap and the nonlinear absorption coefficient at 1064 nm laser are characterized and estimated. The rate-equation theoretical model of the dual-wavelength laser passively Q-switched by SiNx/Si/SiNx multi-layer film is established and the dynamics of the dual-wavelength pulse formation is numerically calculated. Simultaneous dual-wavelength passive Q-switching is realized in a laser diode (LD) end-pumped three-mirror compound resonator Nd:YVO4 laser using SiNx/Si/SiNx film as the saturable absorber. Both 1064 nm pulse with 20 ns duration and 1342 nm pulse with 19 ns duration are obtained. The results show that dual-wavelength passive Q-switching mainly results from two-photon saturable absorptions for 1064 nm and 1342 nm lasers, and that the difference of output losses between the two overlapping collinear cavities and the relative nonlinear absorption coefficients for dual-wavelength lasers influence the pulse durations and time separation of dual-wavelength pulses..

Under the condition of the same total incident light energy, the average diameter of VOPc nanoparticles, observed by an atomic force microscopy (AFM), increases with the pulse laser energy density. The ultraviolet-visible light (UV-Vis) absorption spectrum of VOPc nanoparticles colloid solution indicates that there is no more contribution for producing nanoparticles by so longer laser irradiation time. The nanoparticles reaggregation directly influences the preparation efficiency and the size of the produced nanoparticles, and finally it will achieve dynamic equilibrium with the process of producing nanoparticles. In aqueous solution the hydrophobic force is the main reason for the nanoparticles reaggregation..

The up-conversion luminescence properties of the Er3+ ion in the oxyfluoride glass-ceramics were studied, with analysis on the spectra of samples with Judd-Ofelt theory, and the intensity parameters are obtained, Ω2=4.4756, Ω4=1.0059, Ω6=1.2098. Radiative lifetimes of samples, transition probabilities, and fluorescence branching ratio spectral parameters are concluded. The results show that the samples formed fluoride microcrystal by heat treatment, which lower phonon energy and greatly improve the up-conversion efficiency. The infrared to green or to red up conversion luminescence intensities for the glass-ceramics are evaluated to be nearly 2 to 3 times as high as that of aluminosilicate glasses. Judd-Ofelt theory show that theoxyfluoride glass-ceramics co-doped Er3+/Yb3+ ions have high up-conversion efficiency, and it is one of fine materials for the production of micro-laser and three-dimensional display..

Meanwhile, to find and locate the positions of the persistent small-scale leakage of the pipeline is one of the major issues and difficulties faceAs the main transportation facilities, such as petroleum, natural gas, city water, and among others, the pipeline has been concerned extensively for its safety in operation. Meanwhile, to find and locate the positions of the persistent small-scale leakage of the pipeline is one of the major issues and difficulties faced by the safe operation of the pipeline. When Sagnac fiber interferometer is in the use of monitoring and positioning of a small leak on pipeline, the interference result of the two coherent laser beams in Sagnac ring will be affected by the random change of light polarization, thereby affecting the interferometer performance of linear Sagnac fiber optic interferometer. A new method is proposed to suppress the influence of random change of polarization on Sagnac interferometer. By modifying the structure of interferometer, an optical depolarizer is introduced into the Sagnac ring to improve the operational stability. Experimental results show that this method is a good solution to solve the deterioration of sensitivity caused by polarization fading..

Zhai Aiping, Cao Yiping, and He Yuhang
A novel method is proposed from the perspective of restructuring the image patterns to be modulated to restrain the spectrum overlap. Three sinusoidal gratings with equal phase shift in traditional orthogonal composite grating based phase measurement profilometry (OCGPMP) are replaced by two sinusoidal gratings having A novel method is proposed from the perspective of restructuring the image patterns to be modulated to restrain the spectrum overlap. Three sinusoidal gratings with equal phase shift in traditional orthogonal composite grating based phase measurement profilometry (OCGPMP) are replaced by two sinusoidal gratings having π/2 phase shift and a uniform flat image. Moreover, set the spectrum modulated by the flat image between the spectra modulated by two of the sinusoidal gratings. For the flat image, carrier is only modulated by the direct current component. Therefore the spectrum overlap between the adjacent carrier channels is smaller than the traditional OCGPMP. Simulation and experiment results prove the new method can effectively restrain the effect of spectrum overlap, and improve the measurement accuracy more than 1.74 times..

Static distance measuring experiments with different powers of laser diodes are conducted. The experimental results show that drift of the center of spot intensity increases measurement errors of the system in long-term continual work. The drift is mainly caused by high-frequency noise and spot displacement. For these two factors, an optical system based on the pinhole filter and beam splitter with prisms to improve the quality of laser spot is proposed, which is optimized and simulated by CODEV. Static distance measuring experiments are conducted again after adding the designed optical system to the rangefinder. The new experimental results prove that the precision of the system is improved from 25 μm to 8 μm. The design improves the practicability of laser triangulation measurement system for distance and thickness measuring in long-term continual work based on PSD..

Based on the coupled mode theory and correlation function mode-solver, the transmission spectrum of fiber Bragg gratings in grapefruit photonic crystalThe grapefruit photonic crystal fiber is simulated using finite element method (FEM). The effective refractive index and field distribution of each mode are calculated. Based on the coupled mode theory and correlation function mode-solver, the transmission spectrum of fiber Bragg gratings in grapefruit photonic crystal fibers is studied and the result explains the reason of multiple peaks. The influence of the structure change of the fiber core diameter and air hole size on the transmission spectrum is simulated. The results show that the resonance wavelength would shift to the longer wavelength with the increase of the diameter of the fiber core. The resonance wavelength would shift to the shorter wavelength with the increase of the size of the air holes, and the change is different for each resonant pattern. The fabrication of Bragg grating in a photonic crystal fiber is investigated experimentally by phase mask method. Experimental data are consistent with simulation numerical results..

The structure of Sagnac optical current sensors are developed on the structure of interferometric fiber-optic gyroscope. The external vibration is one of the most important limitations of Sagnac optical current sensors. To eliminate the effect of vibration, a new scheme is given out. The basic principle of the scheme is that there is an extra closed loop to compensate the vibration effect received by the sensing head. Then the polarization states of the lights spreading in the new scheme are analyzed with Jones matrix. The theoretical analysis and the result of the experiment both show that the novel structure of the optical current sensor could completely eliminate the vibration effect in the environment.
