Liu Guangqian, Xiao Qigong, Deng Linhua, Li Yinzhu, and Liu Zhong
During a 1 m solar telescope tracking process, the relative change between the telescope optical axis and its auto-guiding system optical axis decreases tracking accuracy. According to the structure of the telescope optical, mechanical and electric control systems, the tracking error of auto guider caused by the changeDuring a 1 m solar telescope tracking process, the relative change between the telescope optical axis and its auto-guiding system optical axis decreases tracking accuracy. According to the structure of the telescope optical, mechanical and electric control systems, the tracking error of auto guider caused by the change of optical axes is analyzed, and the detection method of the optical axes change is provided. The test results show that the maximum relative change of the optical axes is 46″. It varies only with the telescope altitude angles, independent of telescope azimuth angles. The major factor to cause the telescope optical axes change is telescope structure distortion under its gravity. The software correction model of the telescope optical axes which changes in the auto-guiding system is introduced to improve the long-term tracking accuracy decreased by the optical axes change..

Based on the data from 21 September 2011 to 21 October, good correlation between aerosol extinction coefficient by the lidar and PM2.5 particulate matter concentration is found. The linear regression model to establish the relationship between the extinction coefficient and the particulate matter concentration is used. The data of PM2.5 concentration measured by monitor laid on tower is used to study the inversion accuracy of the relational expression on the vertical height. The study results show that the correlation coefficients between lidar inversion PM2.5 and the measured values at 63, 80, 120 and 160 m are 0.9447, 0.9331, 0.9284 and 0.9308, respectively. The result shows that the lidar can detect the vertical distribution of particles. The lidar will be beneficial to study the spatial distribution and cross-border transportation problems of pollutants, as well as provide data to support policies and measurements of joint prevention and control of regional atmospheric..

Hao Xiang, Kuang Cuifang, Gu Zhaotai, Li Shuai, and Liu Xu
The offline time-gated stimulated emission depletion (g-STED) microscopy, which is based on time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) algorithm, is proposed. As STED beam can eliminate the ratio of spontaneous fluorescent emission while reducing the fluorescence lifetime, the lifetime of fluorescent signals in theThe offline time-gated stimulated emission depletion (g-STED) microscopy, which is based on time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC) algorithm, is proposed. As STED beam can eliminate the ratio of spontaneous fluorescent emission while reducing the fluorescence lifetime, the lifetime of fluorescent signals in the center of excitation focal spot and that in the surrounding doughnut area which are overlap by the STED focal spot are significant different. Based on this principle, in a general continuous wave STED (CW-STED), the fluorescent lifetimes of the whole imaging region are calculated by TCSPC, and the signals with shorter lifetime are discarded after all data recorded. The effective point spread function (PSF) of each fluorescent labels are shrinked in order to enhance the resolution. Compared with traditional ones, this offline g-STED not only decreases the incident intensity of laser to avoid the risk of fluorescence photobleaching and optical toxicity, but also increases the flexibility of time-gate manipulation. A spatial resolution of 80 nm is obtained in the experiment when only 45 mW STED beam is introduced. The potential influences of time-gate selection to the resolution and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are further discussed..

As a result, getting the cross-polarized image by using optical coherence tomography (OCT) becomes more and more popular. A novel fiber-based cross-polarized optical coherence tomography (CP-OCT) system is implemented, which is capable of acquiring both cross-polarized signal and co-polarized signal of a sample simultaneously. Forming principles of both cross-polarized and co-polarized signals are described, and the expressions of them are derived using Jones matrix. The images of a glass slide, a λ/4 wave plate at a wavelength of 1310 nm, and vivo skin obtained with the system confirm that CP-OCT can provide both polarization-sensitive and polarization-insensitive informations of the sample..

The quantum dots conjugated with transferrin are used for HeLa cell labellingWe synthesize CdTe quantum dots in aqueous solution and characterize the stability of quantum dots in different culture media and different pH environments. The impact of quantum dots on HeLa cellular proliferation inhibition rate is studied. The quantum dots conjugated with transferrin are used for HeLa cell labelling. Finally, the quantum dots are conjugated with dextran and applied in the transparent dorsal skin fold window chamber to observe the dynamics of the bioconjugations in blood vessels. The experimental results show that the quantum dots peaking at 660 nm are stable in cell culture media of DMEM and M1640. When the pH of the buffer solutions increases from 5 to 13, the fluorescence intensity of CdTe increases firstly and then reduces. The cell viability is higher than 80% even when the concentration of quantum dots is 13 μg/mL. The quantum dots conjugated with transferrin obviously target to the HeLa cells. What′s more, the clear dynamic flourescence images of quantum dots conjugated with dextran are observed under microscope. The study shows that such quantum dots can be used for living imaging research successfully..

So the paper applies ultrasonic vibration system to fabricate the samples and analyses its effect on its macroscopical appearances、microstructure and residual stress by experiments. The results show that the cladding layers thickness and the grain size change smaller, and also the reinforcement phase TiC in functionally graded materials samples is more uniform dispersion by metallographic photos. In addition, the residual stress is reduced, which shows that cavitation and mechanical effect of ultrasound break the solid crystal net connected by primary dendrite and refine the grain, and also the melt get supplement so as to the tensile stress is reduced. On the other hand, stirring acoustic stream in the molten pool make the reinforcement phase distribution uniform to reduce the solidification stress for different interphase solidification shrinkage stresses..

Wang Rui, and Wang Cunshan
Ti-Fe alloy coatings with different Nb4Si additions are prepared by laser cladding on TA15 alloy. The influence of Nb4Si content on microstructures and properties of the coatings are investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microhardness tester, nano-indenter, and frication wear tTi-Fe alloy coatings with different Nb4Si additions are prepared by laser cladding on TA15 alloy. The influence of Nb4Si content on microstructures and properties of the coatings are investigated by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), microhardness tester, nano-indenter, and frication wear testing machine. The results show that the coatings with different Nb4Si additions mainly consist of β-TiNb dendrite and β-TiNb+TiFe eutectic. However, what has changed is that with the increase of the Nb4Si addition, the content of the eutectic presents the trend of first increasing then decreasing, namely, the highest value is obtained when the atomic fraction of Nb4Si particles is 2.0%. Another change in the microstructure is that a small amount of β-(TiNb)5Si3 phase is formed when the atomic fraction of Nb4Si addition is beyond 0.5%. When the atomic fraction of Nb4Si addition is 2.0%, the hardness, friction and wear properties of the coatings all reach the highest, while the elastic module is the lowest, as a result of high eutectic content..

Yang Huan, Huang Shan, Duan Jun, and Du Min
A 355 nm NdYVO4 nanosecond laser with output power of 8 W and a 1030 nm femtosecond laser with output power of 3 W are used for etching the single-crystal silicon. The effects of laser ablation parameters including laser fluence, pulse width spot overlap rate, and processing times on the processing accuracy and qualityA 355 nm NdYVO4 nanosecond laser with output power of 8 W and a 1030 nm femtosecond laser with output power of 3 W are used for etching the single-crystal silicon. The effects of laser ablation parameters including laser fluence, pulse width spot overlap rate, and processing times on the processing accuracy and quality are investigated and analyzed. The heating effect of femtosecond laser is less than ultravialet nanosecond laser, and nanometer fringes are generated with the laser pulse of femtosecond level, but many cracks appear for the superposition of nanometer fringes as the processing times increases. The experimental results indicate that the advantage of femtosecond laser processing is not absolute, and relatively cheap ultraviolet nanosecond laser may be more suitable for the cases where plenty of materials need to be removed..

A kinematic model of 3D laser cutting machine is established, and optional values are analyzed when geometric information of cutter location points on the cutting trajectory is transformed to space coordinates of five axes. Based on the friction between moving parts and the quality and the inertia of rotation axis, this paper establishes an energy model of the rotational motion of B, C-rotation axis between adjacent cutter location points. The optimization goal is the lowest total energy consumption of rotational motion of B, C-rotation axis on the complete cutting ring, then a minimum energy consumption path can be found by Dijkstra algorithm. Through example calculation, this method can avoid the momentary swing of B, C-rotation axis and enhance the movement smoothness of laser cutting head..

The results show that transparent and black PMMA specimens can be well welded and there is no ablated mark at laser irradiated surface without optical absorbing material when laser power is above 200 W. In tensile experiments, the transparent PMMA specimens break at the edge of welding zone with the maximum load of 2110 N, and there is no crack at the welding zone. When laser power is below 200 W, the welding zone is fractured under the condition of single track welding, and the maximum load is 1170 N. Optical absorbing material can be used to improve the reliability of laser transmission welding of transparent and color PMMA specimens. The quality of laser transmission welding with black thermoplastic acrylic resin is better than that of other absorbing materials..

The microstructures and phase composition of the coating are analyzed by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The cross-section micro-hardness of the cladding layer is measured by Vickers hardness tester, and the abrasion performance of the cladding is characterized through the friction and wear experiments. The results show that the phase of the laser cladding composite coatings is mainly composed of γ-(Ni,Fe) solid solution、silicides and borides. The Cr5Si3 grain is refined and uniform distributed. The average micro-hardness of the composite coating is 685HV0.5, which is 1.1 times of that of the coating without rotating magnetic field; the weight loss of laser cladding modified layer is only about 0.66 times of that of the coating without rotating magnetic field.

PlaThe characteristics of pulsed CO2 laser produced Sn plasma plume expansion under ambient air pressures are studied by shadowgraph technique. The dependences of Sn plume expansion position and plasma debris energy on delay time are obtained. The modified drag diffusion model is employed to fit the experimental data. Plasmas are generated by irradiating planar Sn targets using 400 mJ, 75 ns pulses from a CO2 laser. Our results show that the estimated expansion velocity of the plasma in the early stage (delay time is less than 100 ns) is almost 3 cm/μs, and decreases rapidly with delay time to about 0.3 cm/μs at later stage (delay time is larger than 800 ns) because of the thermalization collisions with buffer gas pressure of 1000 Pa. Fitting results of modified drag diffusion model indicate that the plasma plume maximum size is xst=15.2 mm, which is found to agree fairly well with the measured data of 16 mm..

Physically, as the spatial frequency specBased on the specialties of small diffracted source and far field diffraction, the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld scalar diffraction integral formula is simplified to analyze the characteristics of the far field total power and the beam propagation factor of non-paraxial diffraction beam. Physically, as the spatial frequency spectrum of non-paraxial diffraction beam is confined to a finite spatial frequency, the calculated value of the far field total power fails to comply with the law of energy conservation. Besides, the calculated value of the beam propagation factor of non-paraxial diffraction beam is against the commonsense rule. Then, the spatial frequency spectrum in the mathematical concept is employed to analyze the above mentioned characteristics, and the two commonsense rules are put forward again. And it is clearly shown through the relative calculation errors of the far field total power and the beam propagation factor of non-paraxial TEM00 mode Gaussian beam..

A rectangular aperture close to diffuser is used to select different parts of laser light field as illumination spot. The speckle contrast measured for different illumination spots has no obvious trend (turn up or down) along the movement of rectangular aperture. It means that there′s no relationship between contrast and the laser light field selected. 2D LDA made of four LDs produces incoherent light and angular diversity. Adjusting the distance between array and diffuser to change the angular of adjacent incidence into diffuser. The distance from lens to diffuser is fixed. The experimental results shows that, only when the angular is larger than that of imaging lens seen from the diffuser, the contrast of the speckle is reduced by a factor of 1/M..

To solve these problems, the oven design and pumping source parameters including operation frequency, A diode-pumped solid-state laser at 1.5 μm by use of the Er3+,Yb3+YAl3(BO3)4 crystal is presented. Initially, the laser efficiency is quite low and can not be operated continuously owing to the serious thermal effect. To solve these problems, the oven design and pumping source parameters including operation frequency, duty cycle and waist radius are optimized for reducing the crystal′s thermal deposition.

In this paper, based on the principle of the short pulse generation by electro-optical switch, study on ultraviolet electro-optical switch is made, and a method for ASE suppression of the laser amplifier chain is established. In the waveform clipping experiment of the first pre-amplifier in master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) system, the extinction ratios of the single and cascaded dual electro-optical switches reach 103 and 104 level, and the laser pulse signal contrast ratios are promoted to 105 and 106 level after clipping, respectively. In the experiment of single channel MOPA system, the cascaded dual electro-optical switch is adopted to control the ASE, and an amplified narrow pulse is obtained on the target surface, providing an effective solution to the problem of waveform amplification in the high power excimer laser system..

The state of strain and crystalline quality of GaN epitaxial layer on Si(111) substrate is investigated by high resolution X-ray double crystal diffraction (HRXRD). The influence of the high temperature AlN buffer thickness The technology of epitaxy growth GaN/Si (111) with high temperature AlN buffer is investigated. The state of strain and crystalline quality of GaN epitaxial layer on Si(111) substrate is investigated by high resolution X-ray double crystal diffraction (HRXRD). The influence of the high temperature AlN buffer thickness on the surface morphologies of GaN films is characterized by the atomic force microscopy (AFM). The experimental results show that the Al pre-treatment time and the thickness of AlN buffer have a significant influence on the crystalline quality, state of strain and surface morphology of GaN. The optimal Al pre-treatment time is 10 s, and the thickness of AlN buffer is 40 nm. The good surface morphology of GaN epitaxial layer is obtained with the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of GaN (0002) of 452″, and (10-12) of 722″ by X-ray (XRD) double crystal diffraction..

As cylinder-segment scatters have the features of anisotropy and multiple controllable degrees of freedom. With the plane-wave expansion method, the slow light effect with high group refractive index and low dispersion can be generated by optimizing the structures of photonic crystal waveguide with line defect, such asAs cylinder-segment scatters have the features of anisotropy and multiple controllable degrees of freedom. With the plane-wave expansion method, the slow light effect with high group refractive index and low dispersion can be generated by optimizing the structures of photonic crystal waveguide with line defect, such as changing the length of major axis or minor axis, or rotating scatterers relative to the direction of line defect. Simulation results show that slow lights with band width from 10.1 nm to 1.1 nm and group refractive index from 36.5 to 287.5 are achieved by changing the lengths of major axis or minor axis; slow lights with band width from 11.4 nm to 0.8 nm and group refractive index from 45.5 to 293.7 are gained by rotating scatterers. Moreover, slow lights with ultralow dispersion, even near zero dispersion, can also be obtained by these methods, which shows that choosing suitable scatterers and adjusting their parameters can efficiently achieve slow light effect with high group refractive index and low dispersion..

The mosaic tilt, twist and correlation lengths of InN film are determined by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) symmetrical and asymmetrical reflections as well as reciprocal spacing mapping (RSM), which will then lead to the screw and edge dislocations. Comparing with the dislocations and mobility in different RTA temperatures, the crystal qualities are greatly improved at 400 ℃. We suggest that Mg atoms are activated by the RTA treatment, along with the reduction of carrier concentration. At the same time, N vacancies, which act as donors, are partly compensated when annealing in N2 atmosphere, leading to the reduction of defects and dislocations as well as carrier concentration. Such results also corroborate with the full width of half maximum (FWHM) of ω scans of InN (002) plane..

A heterodyne interference optical path is built and a SPR sensor with self-adaptive structure for angle shift is applied. Theoretical analyses indicate that the variation of the phase difference between p and s polarization components of the measurement signal versus that of the reference signal is almost linear with RIA fluctuation. Thus the formula of RIA measurement is derived. The application of the self-adaptive SPR sensor reduces the measurement error by an order of magnitude and greatly improves the sensitivity. The comparison experiments with the method of Edlen equations show that the measurement accuracy reaches less than 5×10-6 at the phase detection precision of 0.1° and the incident angle of 44.0° (which is close to the resonance angle). Furthermore, the measurement system can provide an initial estimate of RIA accurate enough for other measuring instruments with higher precision..

Generally, mThe alignment method of dual-grating Moiré fringe has characteristics of high-accuracy and reliability, which is mainly fit for contact and proximity lithography. For the realization of high-accuracy measurement, the parallelism between mask grating mark and wafer grating mark is practically required. Generally, mask grating mark imaged in CCD has a tiny inclined angle. Therefore, an improved method is proposed, based on the previously proposed calibration method for inclined fringes through phase slope. The improved method makes full use of phase information in directions of 45° and 135° to revise the imaging position of CCD. By this mean, the mask grating fringes are also calibrated. Through comparison between the two methods, the results imply that the improved method is provided with large-measurement scope, strong anti-noise and high-accuracy, and measurement accuracy is better than 0.001° level..

The theory of light propagation in fiber and fiber design is expatiated, which is the guide for developing imaging fiber. The material of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is heated and extruded in a hexagon mold as microstructured fiber preform. The holes in it are filled with polystyrene (PS) fibers. It is the first preform used for heat-stretch and stack-fusion to form a second preform. Then the second preform is heat-stretched to obtain imaging fiber with diameter of 0.22 mm and single fiber diameter of 3 μm. It is ultrahigh resolution imaging fiber, by which the microscale of 10 μm can be discerned. The method of one-step stack is used to stack 7200 pieces of customized polymer fibers as the multicore imaging fiber preform. The customized fiber with diameter of 0.25 mm and coating thickness of 20 μm is fused together. The preform is heat-stretched to form imaging fiber of 2 mm diameter and 20 μm single fiber diameter. It is found that the dust adsorbed on the fiber face seriously affects fiber′s structure and image quality..

According to principles of imaging laser radar, the ranging accuracy model under the influence of shot noise is built. Based on the model and the characteristics of airborne imaging laser radar, a new method which employs the techniques of gray image registration and superposition to improve ranging accuracy is put forward. Then the factors, such as the flight attitude, light uniformity and superposition frame number that influence the application of gray registration and superposition, are analyzed theoretically. The results show that flight attitude has no effect on the method and the light uniformity′s effect is small when the uniformity is better than 40%. There will not be other errors between the targets when superposition frame number is within a certain range. A ground of dynamic experiments and aerial experiment are conducted to verify the validity of the method..

Effects of optical rotatory angle which are ignored by existing azimuth optimization theory are considered and a more accurate Jones matrix model is proposed with this new variable. It is theoretically shown that the present optimization theory has some errors with the consideration of optical rotatory angle when analyzing the simulation results. The scale factor is immune to the variable linear birefringence with some optical rotatory angles. The combined optimization of the azimuth and optical rotatory angles is proposed. It can reduce the technical requirements of fibers and effectively enhance the stability of scale factors..

Moreover, the electron temperature and electron density of plasmas are measured through the Boltzmann graph method and Stark broadening. Experimental results indicate that the plasma radiation intensity is significantly enhanced when the plasma is confined by carbon sheets, compared with no carbon sheets confinement. As the height of carbon sheets from the sample surface increases, the plasma radiation intensity gradually increases, peaks at 11 mm and then decreases. The calculated results show that the spectral line intensity of elements Fe, Mn, K and Ti with carbon sheets confinement at 11 mm from the target surface are enhanced by about 179.88%, 117.02%, 123.21% and 91.24%, respectively, than those without carbon sheets confinement; spectral signal-to-noise ratios are increased by about 107.30%, 92.26%, 68.48% and 67.66%, respectively; the electronic temperature and electronic density of plasmas are increased by 2800 K and 2.16×1016 cm-3, respectively.
