And the window-function method is applied at the same time. Simulation results show that the more taps lead to better performance at full-positive symmetric coefficient filter. In the case of low-pass filter, full-positive coefficients limit largely factor on the span of transfer function, the characteristics improvement of non full-positive coefficients filter is obvious. At the same cut-off frequency, the optimal performance of simulated annealing genetic algorithm is slightly better than that of the window-function method. Once limiting the cut-off frequency of pass-band and stop-band, and relaxing the requirements of the transition zone, the advantages of simulated annealing genetic algorithm are much more obvious..

Twenty seven nude mice are received low energy of ALA-PDT (ALA: 300 mg/kg, dose: 10 J/cm2) on the right side of the cerebral cortex. After 1、5、10 days, angiogenesis is evaluated by 2 and 3 dimensional vessel images, and expressions of VEGF and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) by western blot. Other 12 nude mice are divided into control and ALA-PDT (10 J/cm2) pretreated groups. Ten days after pretreatment, mice are implanted intracerebral U87 glioma; and tumor volume is calculated by H.E staining after 21 days. Results show that the vessels in the contralateral brain are as control. Both 2 and 3 dimensional vessel images shown that there is no difference in the microvessels morphology on the first and fifth days after ALA-PDT compared with control. However, there is angiogenesis on the tenth days showing as decreased length, increased diameter and the number of branch points. VEGF expression significantly increased on fifth day and becomes higher on the tenth days after ALA-PDT, although there is no change on the first day; while HIF-1α expressions increased on the first day and become higher and higher. ALA-PDT with low energy can induce VEGF expression and intracerebral angiogenesis mediated by HIF-1α, and this effect promotes glioma growth in brain..

Based on the principle of diffraction and geometric optics, the relationship between the observing window in spatial domain and its corresponding window in spatial frequency domain is analyzed. The illumination beams (red, green and blue light) are constructed and multiplied by rainbow hologram respectively. The multiplied results are analyzed in spatial frequency domain with Fourier transform. The spectral information corresponding to a specific perspective window is extracted by filtering in spatial frequency domain. And then the inverse Fourier transform is introduced to obtain the reconstructed image in the hologram plane. The reconstructed images in different positions are obtained from the object wave diffracting a given distance. The experimental results prove the validity of the proposed method. It opens up a new way to evaluate the correctness of computer generated true color rainbow hologram fast and economically..

The angular spectrum diffraction theory is applied to analyze the proposed method. Two interpolation algorithms of forward and inverse spectrum rotations are presented. The sampling interval is analyzed based on the condition of information conservation of rotation transform. It′s shown that the interval values depend on the bandwidth of the spectrum on tilted plane and the spatial-band width product of the hologram. The holographic reconstruction is realized on a 71° single axis rotation. The partially defocus blurred aberration resulted from the tilted object plane is removed by this method. Meanwhile the range of sampling interval on tilted plane is presented..

An algorithm to calculate the PSF of blurring caused by uniform linear motion in arbitrary direction is presented. By computing the extent of superposition between neighboring pixels along the motion direction, the two-dimensional PSF is estimated and then used in image deconvolution to remove the motion blur.

The image restoration performance is evaluated by comparing our method with existing algorithms via image quality metric functions..

The temperature field, martensite distribution and residual stress field are predicted. The influence of workpiece shape on the temperature and residual stress are studied. The results show that the thermal cycles of different points on the surface direction are similar for the two model while the peak temperature of different points of inner wall model in the section direction are higher than that of the plate model. After treatment martensite can be obtained as a main phase in the hardened zone with an about phase volume fraction of 90%. The tensile stress appears in the boundary of hardening zone and heat affected zone (HAZ) and the compressive stress exists in the hardening zone. Comparing with revolving body, the value of the compressive residual stress in the center of the surface of plate is higher..

Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy are used for observing the morphologies of the surface microstructure on silicon. It is found that the area and the morphologies of the microstructure on silicon both become different. According to the observations, the energy thresholds of producing microstructure on silicon at different temperatures are analyzed and compared. The damaged area of the silicon is reduced while the temperature rising. It is shown that the energy threshold of femtosecond laser ablation silicon surface to produce microstructure increases with the temperature rising. This is valuable for the study on femtosecond laser interaction with matter, and also for the formation of surface microstructure on silicon in the future..

To analyze the source of thermal treating bulges, the polished surfaces are treated by three different surface treatments, namely, ultrasonic cleaning, chemical leaching, and HF etching to remove different materials on/in surface. The surface morphology after etching or thermal treating and their correlations show that there existe high-density nanoscale defects in conventional polished surface. These subsurface defects are composed of nanoscale micro-cracks and grainy impurities, which are easy to induce laser damage. Herein, a micro-cracks and grainy impurities structure model about conventional polished surface is proposed based on the analysis of material removal mechanism of polishing..

Results show that the solidified microstructures of LRF Rene 80 high-temperature alloy consist of directionally solidified dendrites, which are parallel with the deposition direction. The MC type carbides and γ-γ′ eutectic distribute in interdendritic region of the directionally solidified microstructure due to element segregation. The LRF Rene 80 high-temperature alloy thick-wall part contains many macro cracks, which have the length of more than 10 mm and expand along the direction parallel to the deposition direction. Analyses indicate that these macro cracks are liquated cracks. During LRF process, the γ-γ′ eutectic with lower melting point particularly along the grain-boundary regions in heat-affected zone (HAZ) melt produced by laser melting pool and result in the formation of grain-boundary liquid. On the subsequent cooling process of the HAZ, the liquated cracks along the HAZ grain boundaries occurred by decohesion across the liquid-solid interface due to shrinkage stresses of solid phase in HAZ, while the liquated γ-γ′ eutectic is still liquid..

The dTo improve catastrophic optical damage threshold power of 940 nm semiconductor laser, the 940 nm GaInP/GaAsP/GaInAs semiconductor laser with non-absorbing window is fabricated. The impacts of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) temperature and thickness of SiO2 on intermixing are evaluated by photoluminescence spectra. The distribution of doped concentration tested by electrochemical capacitance-voltage (EC-V) method is also studied. Experimental results show that, the samples coated by sputtering method with 200-nm SiO2 shows 29.8-nm blueshift at 875 ℃ after RTA. But the blue shift of samples coated with 200-nm TiO2 by electron beam evaporation method is only 4.3 nm, which ensures a large band gap shift in the window region and maintains original band gap in gain region simultaneously. The optimized condition is used on semiconductor lasers with non-absorption window (NAW). It is found that the COD threshold is improved 1.6 times, and the output power has been greatly improved..

With the The evolutions of the pulse propagation in gain distributed fiber amplifiers with a finite gain bandwidth are investigated with the simulation of the nonlinear Schrdinger equation. The results show that the parabolic pulse propagations in different gain amplifiers are restricted by the finite gain bandwidth. With the same input pulse and amplifier length and overall gain, the largest energy and best linear chirp output pulse can be obtained from the bidirectional gain distributed fiber amplifier. The smallest and worst linear chirp pulse output can be obtained from decreasing gain distributed fiber amplifier, while pulse obtained from decreasing gain distributed fiber amplifier is between them. Moreover, by choosing smaller initial gain coefficient, the whole gain limited by the gain bandwidth may be larger, linear chirp is better with the same overall gain..

We also experimentally demonstrate that both the spectral shape and alignment signal of HHG significantly vary with changing focus position. A maximal alignment signal is achieved at a given focus position because of the optimal intensity of the driving laser. This intensity is related to the ionization potential of the molecules.

Two kinds of substrates with the subsurface cracks number density of obviously different are obtained by retaining or removing the grinding cracks. To highlight the effect of the subsurface cracks, the photoactive impurities in the polishing layer, as a competing damage mechanism, are minimized by chemical leaching. Then the HfO2/SiO2 anti-reflection coatings are deposited by electron beam evaporation. 355 nm laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) test results and damage morphology analysis verifie the negative effect of subsurface cracks on the LIDT of AR coated surfaces. According to the heating morphology of polished fused silica surface, a coupling model between the subsurface defects of substrate and the laser damage of coatings is proposed..

A model for extracting the optical constants of weak absorbing film is applied, which is based on spectrophotometry. The refractive index n and extinction coefficients k of the thin films and substrate are obtained in the range of 185~450 nm. It is found that the refractive index inhomogeneity of LaF3 thin films decreases as the film thickness becomes thick. The calculated optical performances curves fits the experimental ones well when the inhomogeneous model is employed, which can improve the precision of thin film′s optical constants determination..

The influence of the reflected-intensity distribution with different incident angles, especially with different wedge angles of the non-paralleled thin-film filter is analyzed theoretically. Calculation and experimental results show that the reflected-intensity distribution, reflected-peak and the isolation degree are influenced by the wedge angle, incident angle and polarity of the wedge angle. In order to get stable reflected-characteristics and high isolation degree, the parallelism of the angle-tuned thin-film filter should be improved in fabrication or the polarity of the wedge angle in oblique incidence should be negative..

Guo Tao, Da Feipeng, and Fang Xu
Camera calibration aims at building up the mapping relationship between 3D world coordinate and 2D image coordinate. The traditional calibration board contains dozens of neatly arranged standard circles or grids. Calibration is completed by extracting the center coordinates of standard circles or grid corner coordinateCamera calibration aims at building up the mapping relationship between 3D world coordinate and 2D image coordinate. The traditional calibration board contains dozens of neatly arranged standard circles or grids. Calibration is completed by extracting the center coordinates of standard circles or grid corner coordinates. In a micro-object measurement system, the camera field of view is very small and camera cannot extract enough points from the calibration board. To solve this problem, a new method based on conic and lines is proposed. This method uses conic and lines equation instead of points to calibrate so that enough information can be extracted from calibration board even under small field of view. Both computer simulation and real data test show that the proposed method has higher accuracy and better robustness. In addition, the calibration board is a standard semicircle which is very easy to be made and easy to be used under small field of view..

And then the micro-displacement of the object is experimentally obtained. According to the proposed method, the theoretical analysis and the computer simulation are realized. Finally, the micro-displacement variation is obtained from the experimental interference signals by using the method. Comparing with traditional fast Fourier transform (FFT) method, the result of method is of higher accuracy. Experimental results show that the algorithm proposed is of high precision, low complexity, good robustness, and will have a broad prospect of application..

The method of using K-FADOF to observe the velocity field of photosphere is studied, which takes advantage of the Faraday anomalous dispersion optical filter (FADOF), such as high spectral resolution and spectral stability. This method utilizes K-FADOF to distinguish the Doppler shift of potassium line (769.898 nm) which comes from the Sun′s Photosphere, uses the F-P etalon to select the single-peak signal transmitted through the K-FADOF, and receives photosphere′s Dopplergram. The prototype of K-FADOF is developed and tested. The experiments show that its experimental transmission spectrum pattern almost coincides with its theoretical pattern. It indicates that the K-FADOF meets the requirements of observing the solar velocity field of high spectral resolution. Further, it can achieve to observe simultaneously multi-layer velocity field of the solar atmosphere with this technology extended to the solar other lines..

Aiming at its application on CO2 laser transmission, a hollow-core Bragg fiber sample with a transmission band of 10.6 μm is designed and fabricated. Its transmission spectrum is measured by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), showing an obvious low loss transmission peak at 10.6 μm. Measured by cutback method using a CO2 laser, the transmission loss at 10.6 μm of the fiber sample is 2.35 dB/m. The additional loss induced by fiber bending is also measured under different fiber curvatures, showing that it rises with increasing curvature. Experiments show that a fiber bending of 90° with a bending radius of 10 cm near the fiber output end leads to an additional loss about 2 dB. The experiment results demonstrate the low loss transmission of CO2 laser by the hollow-core Bragg fiber sample, showing its great potential on improving the flexibility of CO2 lasers..

Zhao Xiaodong, Lu Yuangang, Hu Junhui, Li Mi, and Zhang Xuping
Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer (BOTDR) is a distributed optical fiber sensor with broad application prospects. For a given input light wavelength, the Brillouin frequency shift of spontaneous Brillouin scattering light has a linear relationship with both temperature and strain. The distributed temperature Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer (BOTDR) is a distributed optical fiber sensor with broad application prospects. For a given input light wavelength, the Brillouin frequency shift of spontaneous Brillouin scattering light has a linear relationship with both temperature and strain. The distributed temperature or strain can be obtained by measuring the Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) along the fiber. In a BOTDR, Brillouin power spectrum scanning is a commonly used means to obtain the BFS, and there has been two types: the optical frequency-difference scanning method and the electrical frequency scanning method. A wavelength scanning BOTDR is proposed based on the wavelength dependence of the BFS. With a tunable laser as the light source, the Brillouin power spectrum is obtained by scanning the input light wavelength. This method combines the advantages of the optical frequency-difference scanning method and the electrical frequency scanning method. The feasibility of this proposed method is demonstrated experimentally. By use of this method, a temperature accuracy of 2.2 ℃ along a 23.4 km sensing fiber with a 5 m spatial resolution is achieved..

The proposed demodulation scheme eliminates the modulation on light source, improves the accuracy, and keeps the system cost as low as that of the fringe counting method. Compared with the reported dual-fiber F-P structure, this design has no strict requirement for a specific phase difference between the two interference paths, which makes it more feasible for manufacturing. Experimental results demonstrate a good linearity of 1.1% and a resolution of ±3 μm within a measuring range of 0~500 μm for the sensor system..

Theoretical results show that with the increase of the wavelength, tA hollow dual-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF) filled with high refractive index liquid sensitive to temperature is analyzed. The coupling properties and the inter-model dispersion are investigated by using full-vector finite element method (FEM). Theoretical results show that with the increase of the wavelength, the coupling coefficient will decrease first and then increase for a certain temperature. Especially, the zero inter-modal dispersion can be achieved at a particular wavelength. By adjusting the temperature and/or the structure parameter d/Λ, zero inter-modal dispersion in an extremely wide wavelength range including both 1.31 μm and 1.55 μm is realized. This implies that the pulse distortion effect due to the mismatch between different modes can be eradicated and 100% power transfer can be realized in such a hollow dual-core photonic crystal fiber..

A dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator is used to generate high-order optical side-modes which beat in the photo-detector, producing a 40-GHz carrier. Over 100-Mb/s orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation scheme is employed. The emphasis is on developing a mathematical model for optimizing optical modulation index to the Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator (IM) for OFDM signal with high peak-to-average power ratio which imposes a limitation on the system bit error rate (BER) performance due to the non-linearity of IM. The theoretical analysis on composite carrier to composite triple beat ratio is performed based on which extension to the system BER formula for quadrature phase shift keying/ multiple quadrature amplitude modulation (QPSK/MQAM) format is presented. The experimental proof is given in a 40-GHz RoF system at a bit rate of up to 280 Mb/s in 100-MHz bandwidth..

The minimum optical diffraction MTF under the situation of truss structure is calculated from the actual MTF, assembly and electronic factor of on-orbit production. Then the MTF is analyzed only by employing the pupil function under various kinds of obstruction because the optical software cannot evaluate the optical diffraction MTF entirely. It is concluded that the max diameter of tri-truss is 38 mm, the max diameter of four-truss is 26 mm. The truss structure of 26 mm diameter and 4 mm thickness is satisfied the specifications of satellite design by analyzing the static deformation and modal frequency of various wall thickness through finite element analysis (FEA)..

It is obvious that the fabrication of sLithography is the most important technology when manufacturing of large scale integrated circuit. Since the resolution of a lithographic tool is determined by the performance of the imaging optics. The surface accuracy of lithographic projection objectives is on nanometer scale. It is obvious that the fabrication of such high-quality optics and single lens supporting requires tremendous efforts. In order to design the structure of single lens supporting with high-precision, the surface form of single lens is studied, under gravitational condition. Then, the support structure is analyzed in detail by finite element method (FEM) and a new type of flexible support is presented. Analytical results indicate that the surface figure accuracy of the mirror reach peak valley (PV) of 15.4 nm and root mean square (RMS) of 3.62 nm under the load case of gravity. In order to accept high accuracy for optical surface form analyses by FEM, a new method which could remove the surface form of reference surface and the original surface form of tested surface is built. According to the method, the differences of PV magnitudes and RMS values are only 2.356 nm and 0.357 nm, respectively. The results show that the proposed kinematics mount structures satisfy the mechanical requirements of mounts for 193 nm projection lithographic lens..

By using the collisional-radiative equilibrium (CRE) model, the average electron temperature is estimated to be 500 eV from the intensity ratios of Ly-α/He-α line and Ly-β/He-ε line. The plasma core electron temperature is around 1215 eV derived from the continuum slope with linear fitting. The experimental result demonstrates that the electron temperature shows a nearly linear decrease from the axis to the outer edge of the pinch in this implosion. It is shown that the intensity ratio is an efficient tool for inferring electron temperature and the continuum slope provides essential information of core electron temperature of aluminum wire-array implosion..
