The results sThe entanglement dynamics of two atoms in the one-photon and two-photon Jaynes-Cummings models are studied by employing the concurrence and linear entropy. The effect of the initial entanglement degree of two atoms and the initial state of the cavity field on the time evolution of concurrence is analyzed. The results show that the phenomenon of sudden death of entanglement between two atoms happens when the field is initially in the state |11〉. The length of the death time interval is dependent on the initial entanglement degree of two atoms. Moreover, it is found that the atom and the field are entangled in the overall time evolution process..

Image moments are significant methods for object recognition. The low order moments of Hu moment invariants and affine moment invariants are combined to describe the features of three-dimensional objects, and back-propagation (BP) neural network is applied to recognize objects on different azimuth angles. When the view angle is constant, the case that training 10 objects and sampling from 3 to 19 per object, under different carrier-to-noise rates (CNRs), is analyzed about the correct rate of recognition for the Hu moment invariants, the affine moment invariants and the combination of both. The theoretical and experimental analyses prove that using the combination of the Hu moment invariants and the affine moment invariants as features to classify objects can achieve better recognition performance than only using either the Hu moment invariants or the affine moment invariants..

At present automatic target recognition technology for laser imaging radar is a hot problem at home and abroad. Target recognition algorithm based on combination moments for laser imaging radar is put forward. Combination moments feature including lower-order Zernike moments, Hu moments and central moments is extracted from range image of laser imaging radar target, this feature is not sensitive to range image noise. Radial base function (RBF) neural network is used to recognize three kinds of ground targets. Experimental result shows that comparing this algorithm with using Zernike moments and Hu moments feature to recognize targets, the average recognition rate of three kinds of ground targets of laser imaging radar is raised by 1.0% and 3.7% separately under high carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) (20 dB); the average recognition rate is raised by 11.8% and 42.5% separately under low CNR (10 dB); when CNR is higher than 17 dB, the average recognition rate of this algorithm is 100%. Therefore this algorithm gains good recognition effect..

Luo Xinmin, Zhao Guangzhi, Yang Kun, Chen Kangmin, Zhang Xiaoning, Zhang Yongkang, Luo Kaiyu, and Ren Xudong
The commercial pure titanium sheet TA2 is continually mould-free laser shock deformed by means of a Ndglass Q-switched laser setup with 1064 nm wavelength and 20 ns short pulse. The microstructure characteristics of the deformed sheet on whole section are analyzed with the thermo-field emission scanning electron microsThe commercial pure titanium sheet TA2 is continually mould-free laser shock deformed by means of a Ndglass Q-switched laser setup with 1064 nm wavelength and 20 ns short pulse. The microstructure characteristics of the deformed sheet on whole section are analyzed with the thermo-field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electronic microscope (TEM) respectively. Three main microstructure characteristics are observed based on the stress state in deformed zone. The first is the near nanometer micro-twin gate in the compression strain region, which is thought to be a product composed of high density of stacking faults in the same direction. Due to the inter-actions between neonatal microstructures and the induced third type of internal stress, high density of dislocation networks and/or dislocation cells formed in laser shocked substrate. The second is the inverse-transformed martensite, which is induced by partial shear deformation in the compression zone of laser shock deformed sheet. The third is the local stratified cluster slips along the cleavage direction, induced by the ultra high energy and ultra-high strain rate of laser shock, in the tensile deformed region owing to the increasing of deformation resistance of highly constrained hcp crystalline material. The above-mentioned phenomena can be attributed to the confinement conditions and deformation mode of micro-zone upon laser shock forming, and will result in microscopically inhomogeneous of microstructures and hardness in the deformed section. Therefore, repeated shocking is not conductive to the uniformity of deformation of titanium sheet..

Simulation results show that substrate with pre-deformation can affect the distribution and size of stress and deformation in formed parts which can effectively alleviate the warpage of substrate. The point with initial tensile stress on the bottom surface of substrate has a smaller residual stress than that of the substrate without pre-deformed. The middle position of the interface between the substrate and the cladding layer also has a smaller residual stress than that of the substrate without pre-deformation. In both models, the positions of maximum residual compressive stress are different. Both sides of cladding layers deform badly compared with the middle location. The first cladding layer has the largest effect on substrate deformation; the deformation of the substrate gradually reduces as the cladding process proceeds. The longitudinal displacement change rate of the substrate constantly reduces and eventually tends to stable. Appropriate pre-deformation of the substrate before LSF can effectively control deformation of the substrate and improve stress distribution of the part..

The influence of fast-axis-collimation on coupling efficiency is studied. Experimental results indicate that the wavelength of the LDA is locked and the line-width is narrowed sharply under the effect of VBG external cavity. The influence of VBG reflectivity on spectral characteristics and efficiency of external cavity LDA is studied mainly. Experimental results show that the increase of VBG reflectivity can inhibit the intra-cavity mode effective and enhance the contrast of spectrum and narrow the line-width. Using the VBG with a reflectivity of 30%, an output power of 24.8 W is obtained with the linewidth down to 0.18 nm, which corresponds to the efficiency of 82.6% compared with the output power in free-running LDA..

Steep frequency changes in mode hopping process are transformed to steep phase changes in the working point of the interferometer, and the changes are obtained accurately by tracking simultaneously both the sine and cosine functions of the working point in time domain. Various mode hops in an ultra-narrow linewidth erbium-doped fiber ring laser, including occasional hops and thermally-induced serial hops the moment the laser is switched on, have been detected successfully with this method. The results show that this method has a high testing sensitivity, and makes real-time and apparent criterions for identifying mode hops. Besides, possible frequency drift between two serial mode hops can also be measured by use of this method, which plays an effective role in evaluating the lasing mode stabilities of single-frequency fiber lasers..

The mechanism of the changes are analysed by Raman scattering, scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the annealing process. It is shown that the microstructure changes of the irradiated sample mainly account for the dielectric properties. The CO2 laser irradiation could induce the tension stress, leading to the larger lattice parameter and the deviation of B site ion from the center of oxygen octahedron. The distortion of the oxygen octahedron results in the less activation of electric domains. Therefore, the polarization switching of the electric domains become more difficult, exhibiting the properties of "hard". This suggests that the laser irradiation may offer a new approach for the fabrication of lead zirconate titanate (PZT) based "hard martial" in several seconds without any ions addition..

The morphology，composition and microstructure of the films are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopyThe CNx films are deposited on monocrystalline silicon substrates by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique with different laser fluxes and CNx coating as the target. The morphology，composition and microstructure of the films are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) respectively. The tribological behavior is investigated using a ball-on-disk tribometer in atmosphere (RH=48%~54%). The results show that an introduction of iterative PLD technique can improve the nitrogen content of the CNx films remarkably. With the increase of laser flux from 5 J/cm2 to 10 J/cm2, the percentage of N-sp2C bonding increases and the nitrogen atom fraction of the CNx film increases from 23.8% to 29.9%. A decreased percentage of N-sp3C and sp3C-C bonding of the CNx film are observed and the wear rate of CNx film increases from 2.1×10-15 m3/(N·m) to 9.0×10-15 m3/(N·m). The friction coefficient of the films ranges from 0.15 to 0.23. Compared with the others, the film deposited at laser flux 5 J/cm2 exhibites an optimal tribological performance..

In this work, the super resolution pits on the optical disk are dynamically read out with indium thin film as a functional mask layer. Thin films with different thicknesses are deposited by direct current magnetron sputtering method, the thickness changes with time of the In thin films are measured by profilometer and the different surface morphologies are observed by atomic force microscopy. In thin film in the pre-engraved super-resolution optical disk with pit size of 390 nm is created to form the In mask super-resolution optical disk. The readout is tested by the optical disk dynamic tester, and the largest carrier to noise ratio (CNR) of 26 dB is obtained. To explore the internal mechanism of this super-resolution readout ability, the optical constant under different temperatures is studied by variable temperature ellipsometer. The reflectivity and absorption coefficiency are also obtained. The experimental results indicate that the mechanism of the super-resolution readout with In thin film as mask can be explained by the model of aperture-type super-resolution..

Surface plasmon field is excited with Kretschmann prism coupling scheme and effective trapping of 10.8 μm diameter polystyrene beads is realized. By modulating the incident laser pattern with a micro-aperture array, microparticles are massively dynamic patterned on a homogeneous gold thin film. A 20 mW He-Ne laser is used in the experiment as the light source. The applied power intensity is tens of times weaker than that of laser tweezers. Owing to its advantages such as low cost, flexible manipulation ability and low power consumption, the trapping method can be used to the manipulation of living cells and DNAs in medical treatments..

Theoretical analysis based on super mode theory shows that polarizing effect in coupling component of two contacted micro fibers can be achieved when the fibers′ coupling length and diameters are chose suitably, which means unpolarized light can be changed into polarized light after it is through the coupling micro fiber component. Theoretical analysis and design give the geometric parameters for the polarizing effect. Experiments are made to investigate the relationship between degree of polarization (DOP) of the output light and coupling length when two micro fibers are lined parallel to couple. Micro fiber polarization filers based on evanescent field are manufactured. Experiments show that the (DOP) of the output light within the wavelength band of 1545~1560 nm in the micro fiber polarization filers are higher than 90% when the unpolarized light is input, which means the light is polarized. The linear polarization extinction ratio (LPER) of output light at some wavelengths with the band are higher than 24 dB, while output lights at another wavelengths are elliptical or circular polarized light. It means that output lights are polarized according to their wavelengths. The micro component can construct the band-pass wavelength fiber when it is used with an optical polarizer..

The number of subcarriers is an important factor of the indicator. By theoretical deduction and simulation, the impact of subcarriers′ number on the BER of ACO-OFDM transmitted in standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) with optical single-sideband (OSSB) modulation is analyzed. Theoretical analysis shows that, when the total transmission rate is constant, changing the number of subcarriers from 128 to 16384, the total bandwidth required changes no more than 0.775%. And based on this, further theoretical analysis and simulation illustrate that, with different transmission rates of ACO-OFDM system, there always exists the optimal number of subcarriers resulting the lowest BER, and the optimal number increases with higher transmission rate..

Modified phase detection of double-fiber M-Z interferometer is proposed in getting signal in combination with correlation algorithm. The usage of correlation algorithm in location is introduced in detail. The simulation verifies the feasibility of this method. If the same signals with different time delays are analyzed using correlation algorithm, the accurate time difference can be obtained by the location of the maximum. The system′s location accuracy is directly related to the sampling rate. When the sampling rate is set as 20 MHz, a theoretical location accuracy of 10.22 m is obtained. A new method of processing piecewise signal is presented, which can reduce the computational complexity on the base of high positioning accuracy brought by the high sampling rate.

By injection locking the FP-LD with one wavelength signal light and two continuous probe light, multi-wavelength conversion is realized with two wavelength inverted signals output and one wavelength non-inverted signal output. After propagating through the fiber with a proper dispersion, time delay between different wavelengths output is introduced and the UWB signal pulse is generated. UWB signal is then obtained after the photo-detection. The operational principle of the proposed scheme is analyzed. Experimental investigation is carried out on the waveform and frequency spectrum characteristics of the UWB pulse. Differential UWB signals generation based on injecting 1.25 Gb/s non-veturn-to-zero (NRZ) signals to the FP-LD is then demonstrated. The experimental results show that the minimum full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the pulse is 83.3 ps, and the 10 dB spectral width is about 4.6 GHz with the fractional bandwidth of 107%..

Supposing, both piston errors and tilt errors obey normal distribution with zero-mean but leaving standard deviations to be determined, according to Strehl ratio, the permitted maximal standard deviations of piston errors and tilt errors are calculated based on iterative algorithm, respectively. Relations between the permitted maximal standard deviations of the two beam combining errors and obscuration ratios and numbers of sub-telescopes are revealed. The permitted maximal standard deviations of piston errors have no relationship with obscuration ratios of the sub-telescopes; but they decrease slowly within a narrow range of 0.11λ～0.08λ as the numbers of sub-telescopes increase. In the case of known pupils size, the permitted maximal standard deviations of tilt errors decrease as the obscuration ratios of sub-telescopes increase, while they have no significant correlations with the numbers of sub-telescopes..
