Single-ended loop coupling is used to stimulate the microwave field. Based on the result of simulation, the loop coupled from the side surface of the cylindrical cavity will induce a more symmetric microwave field than that coupled from the end face. The mode selection is realized by finely tuning the coupling loop. This method is not only simple, but it can also effectively reduce the volume of microwave cavity. Finally, the microwave cavity developed is tested and the results indicate that the performance of the microwave cavity meets the requirements of stable integrating sphere atom clock with small volume. Moreover, no reflective coating, which will affect the microwave field pattern, is needed for cooling atoms. This is beneficial to enhance the clock signal, and finally will improve the signal to noise ratio and the contrast..

Huang Yongping, Duan Zhichun, He Yehuan, and Zhang Bin
In order to illustrate the change of turbulence distance for partially coherent flat-topped (PCFT) beams propagating through non-Kolmogorov (non-K) turbulence, based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and the definition of turbulence distance using relative M2-factor, the analytical expression for turbulence disIn order to illustrate the change of turbulence distance for partially coherent flat-topped (PCFT) beams propagating through non-Kolmogorov (non-K) turbulence, based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle and the definition of turbulence distance using relative M2-factor, the analytical expression for turbulence distance of PCFT beams through non-Kolmogorov turbulence is derived. The turbulence distance of PCFT beams through non-Kolmogorov turbulence depends on the generalized exponent parameter, inner scale and outer scale of turbulence and the initial second order moments at the plane of z=0 (namely, beam parameters including beam order, wavelength, coherence degree and beam waist width). The results show that the turbulence distance of PCFT beams through non-Kolmogorov turbulence firstly decreases towards a minimum and then increases with the increasing of generalized exponent parameter, increases with the increasing of beam order and wavelength and decreasing of coherence property, and does not monotonously vary that the turbulence distance firstly decreases and then increases with the increasing of beam waist width..

Geometric calibration is done as soon as the new device is built-up. The result shows an agreement of 2 pixel or less with the theoretical design in limb altitude and a biggest deviation of 25 pixel in limb azimuth orientation. The combined standard uncertainty analysis indicates a 0.488 pixel and a 0.612 pixel uncertainty in limb altitude and azimuth orientation respectively, both reaching sub-pixel precision. With the successful accomplishment of the geometric calibration, the method and the device offer an important reference and a realized platform for the pre-optic-mechanical installing and measuring of the similar type of instrument..

Estimating background luminance by bilateral filter, the subband-decomposed multiscale Retinex with bilateral filtering is proposed, and original images are decomposed using proposed transformation. Coefficient matrixes in the same subband are fused by using detail enhancement strategy based on local space frequency, and fused coefficient matrixes in different subbands are fused by global variance weighted sum. The fusion result is needed for the transition from the logarithmic domain to the display domain by improved nonlinear stretching. The results of experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can effectively overcome the halo phenomenon, improving definition of fused image, and the detail information is more salient..

Liu Di, Wang Yurong, Meng Xiangfeng, Yang Xiulun, and Wang Qingpu
For the near-field in-line digital holography, the multi-plane reconstruction method used to eliminate the twin image works well when the reconstructing distance is exactly equal to the actual recording distance. However, it does not consider and analyze the influence when there is a deviation between the two distancesFor the near-field in-line digital holography, the multi-plane reconstruction method used to eliminate the twin image works well when the reconstructing distance is exactly equal to the actual recording distance. However, it does not consider and analyze the influence when there is a deviation between the two distances. In practice, it is difficult to accurately measure the actual recording distance, and the deviation between the reconstructing distance and the actual recording distance always exist in the digital reproduction. A thoughtful analysis for this method is presented and it is found that this method is very sensitive to the distance deviation, and as the deviation increases its efficiency and effectiveness will be greatly decreased. The distance deviation sensitivity of this method can be used to improve the auto-focus accuracy and sensibility in the reconstruction of Gabor in-line digital holography. Principle analysis and experimental verification confirm the above conclusions..

Laser shock processing (LSP) is carried out on K403 nickel-based alloy turbine blades and the high temperature high and low cycle complexed fatigue tests are conducted to verify the reinforcement effect. The results of the fatigue experiments show that a greater flatness area near the fatigue crack initiation (FCI) is Laser shock processing (LSP) is carried out on K403 nickel-based alloy turbine blades and the high temperature high and low cycle complexed fatigue tests are conducted to verify the reinforcement effect. The results of the fatigue experiments show that a greater flatness area near the fatigue crack initiation (FCI) is induced by LSP, the fatigue striation spacing on the fatigue crack growth (FCG) area decreases and lots of second cracks are generated after LSP. Grain refinement and high residual compressive stress on the surface layer are induced by LSP. But when the K403 nickel-based alloy after LSP is subjected to heat treatment at 550 ℃ for 150 min, a part of residual compressive stress has got relaxation while the refined structure has still remained good thermal stability. Compared with the untreated samples, the fatigue life of turbine blades is increased by 140% after LSP. The grain refined structure and residual compressive stress after relaxation are the main causes of improvement of nickel-based alloy fatigue life..

Its surface morphologies, microstructures, microhardness, self-corrosion potential and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) are also examined and analyzed. The experimental results show that electrochemical corrosion resistance of magnesium alloys are improved after LSP. With the increasing of laser power density, the self-corrosion potential of magnesium alloy begins to move towards a positive direction, the corrosion current density decreases and the impedance arc becomes larger. When power density reaches to 0.7 GW/cm2, the current density increases and impedance arc becomes smaller. The effect of the Al content, solution and aging treatment on the corrosion potential and EIS of magnesium alloys by LSP are discussed and analyzed..

The reason of the decrease of joint′s strength and ductility is discussed. The results show that a serious softening has occurred in heat-affected zone (HAZ) of the welding joints, and the most serious locates in the tempered zone and the incomplete crystalline zone of HAZ. The strength of welding joints decrease by 10%~15%, and the ductility of welding joints exceed 60%. The main reason of the joint′s strength descent is the existence of tempered martensite which is obtained in the welding process, and the tempered martensite′s strength is lower than the quenching martensite. The main reason of the joint′s ductility descent is the uncoordinated tensile deformation of different joint subareas, and the deformation mainly takes place on the softened zone of HAZ. The welding fusion zone, the base metal and other zones of HAZ hardly occur deformation..

A dynamic strain model of 2024 aluminum alloy surface loaded by the pulsed laser shock wave is established and verified by experimental data. The results show that the laser shock wave and surface wave can′t couple by adjusting the parameters of laser pulse. The relationship curve of the dynamic stress-strain of 2024 aluminum alloy under high strain rate of pulsed laser shock wave is similar to the static stress-strain relationship curve of 2024 aluminum alloy under static tensile condition. The experimental results are consistent with the dynamic strain model of 2024 aluminum alloy surface loaded by the pulsed laser shock wave..

The microstructure and mechanical properties oApplication of aluminum alloy heavy section is limited for its worse weldability, low welding efficiency and large welding deformation. 5083 aluminum alloy plates of 25 mm thick are welded using IPG YLS-6000 fiber laser and ultra-narrow gap fiber laser beam welding method. The microstructure and mechanical properties of joint are tested by optical microscope, scanning electron microscope and tensile testing machine for low temperature. The results shows that defect free butt joints with 7 layers are obtained with ultra-narrow gap laser welding. The width of weld is uniform and less than 4.5 mm. Microstructure of weld consists of columnar grain and some discontinuous dot-like precipitated phases. There are no obvious coarse grains but some precipitation in heat affected zone (HAZ). The microhardness of the HAZ is slightly lower than that of weld metal and base metal, and the microhardness of base metal is the same to that of the joint. The tensile strength of joint increases a bit when temperature decreases (such as at 273 K、243 K、213 K and 183 K), which performs as well as the base metal. Samples are bended by 180° without large defects observed, which shows the joint has excellent plasticity..

The second harmonic generation (SHG) spectrum is recorded when the femtosecond laser pulse is modulated by a sinusoidal phase function. The multi-photon intra-pulse inteA femtosecond pulse shaper is set up based on a liquid crystal spatial light modulator. The pulse shaper is driven by home-developed LabVIEW programs. The second harmonic generation (SHG) spectrum is recorded when the femtosecond laser pulse is modulated by a sinusoidal phase function. The multi-photon intra-pulse interference phase scan (MIIPS) trace is obtained with the parameter δ, witch is the initial phase of sinusoidal phase scanning, scanning from 0 to 4π. The effects of the sinusoidal phase′s amplitude and frequency (α and γ) are studied in detail for the optimization of MIIPS. The results not only provide a guidance for the phase measurement and compensation in MIIPS, but also supply a method for narrowing and shaping SHG spectrum, which will be useful in many fields, such as two-photon absorption spectroscopy, femtosecond chemistry and femtosecond biology..

For traditional conic refractive laser beam expanders being difficult of fabrication, hard of equipment, bulky and heavy weight, especially difficult to achieve lens array with high fill factor, an approach of laser beam expander by using stepped diffractive surface to approximate conic aspherical surface is proposed. For traditional conic refractive laser beam expanders being difficult of fabrication, hard of equipment, bulky and heavy weight, especially difficult to achieve lens array with high fill factor, an approach of laser beam expander by using stepped diffractive surface to approximate conic aspherical surface is proposed. It is shown that the incoming Gaussian beam with typical waist radius of 2 mm is enlarged to the designed expanding ratio of 2.8 times by the diffractive laser beam expander. By making the different sections of the surface with different steps to get two types of improved structure, which aims at keeping the stability of laser mode, the problem of fidelity and typical fabrication line-width of binary diffractive elements being not fulfilled at the same time is solved. The fidelity is raised to 95.82% with the minimum lithography line-width above 2 μm of each section, which meets the fabrication requirement of existing lithography technology. Analysis of the main errors affecting the system fidelity shows that the value is still above 95% when defocused error is -1~1 mm and decenter error is below 0.1 mm of eyepiece and 1.68 mm of objective lens, which make the system easy to install..

This paper demonstrates a feLithium triborate (LBO) possesses desirable nonlinear optical characters, as well as stable chemical and mechanical properties. Its dispersion is sensitive to the change of the crystal temperature, which allows this nonlinear optical crystal to be used to achieve noncritical phase matching. This paper demonstrates a femtosecond synchronous green-pumped singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on lithium triborate. As the pump source, a frequency-doubled mode-locked Yb-fiber laser-amplifier system is used, which can produce femtosecond laser with high average power and large mode field area. By adjusting crystal temperature, tunable high power femtosecond laser can be obtained from red to near infrared using noncritical phase matching method. The signal pulses of the optical parametric oscillator have a wide spectral tuning range of 670~880 nm and idler pulses are tunable in the range of 2320~1270 nm. At a pump power of 3.4 W, the output highest average power of 660 mW at 694 nm central wavelength is achieved with the pulse duration of 132 fs and the slope efficiency of 19.4%..

The typical free frequency drift of diode-pumped Nd:YAG laser working at doubling frequency 532 nm based on seed injection can reach 15 MHz/min, correspondingly to a weed speed measurement error of 4 m/s. By using virtual instrument control technology of Labview, the frequency of pulsed laser is successfully scanned, and iodine absorption line 1109 is matched automatically, which get the frequency on one of the two slopes of the line. Standard deviation of frequency stability is about 0.8 MHz for a long time (more than 2 h), while the equivalent wind speed error is 0.2 m/s. The requirement of frequency stability is achieved during long-term lidar measurements..

It is demonstrated that the detected defects are classified as SSD by comparing the R6G fluorescence microscopy images and related optical microscopy images. The transformation of SSD during polishing process is analyzed according to related R6G fluorescence microscopy detection results. The results show that the crescent cracks which are near the tail end of deep Median type cracks are comparatively hard to be removed in the Nd-doped phosphate glass. These crescent cracks may induce strong modification to the incident optical field, and relatively increase the probability of laser induced surface damage..

The localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) properties and the SERS characteristics of the bowtie nanoantenna are numerically analyzed by the finite element method (FEM).

Meantime, the maximum SERS enhancement factor is 1016 generated by the bowtie nanoantenna, which is enough to accurately detect a single molecule. Moreover, there is a higher SERS enhancement factor of 1012 on the entire surface of the nanoantenna, which is also sufficient for single bio-molecular detection..

The system uses a Y-fiber bundle instead of mirrors in the traditional lidar system, not only improving the compact of the structure, but also solving the problem that is always very difficult to adjust the transmitting and receiving optical paths to parallel in the traditional system, so that it can avoid the influence of the geometrical overlap factor and reduce the complexity of the data processing. This paper analyzes the experimental results of the new MPL in Hefei, and uses the sub-slope method invert aerosol extinction coefficients to obtain atmospheric visibility and its variation. According to the results, the atmospheric visibility has a clear diurnal variation. The correlation coefficient between the results and the other measured by HW-H1 gype forward scatter visibility instrument is 0.81. In addition, the theoretical error analysis results also show that MPL measurement error is less than 20% when the visibility is less than 10 km, indicating that MPL system can achieve the measurement of the atmospheric horizontal visibility effectively..

Operating point at the minimum of the transmission curve can be automatically controlled steadily by means of “sweep—phase discrimination and compensation” in a closed loop feedback system. When the output power of the laser is 6 mW, EOIM is controlled steadily at minimum point for an hour. The average optical output power of the EOIM is 1.198 μW, standard deviation is 0.123 μW and fluctuation is less than 0.43 μW at minimum point with control. When the additional electronic pulse signal is modulated at minimum point of EOIM, light pulse with mean extinction ratio (ER) of 25.71 dB is produced. Under pulse modulation, the output pulse ER is 9.94 dB higher than that in the condition without control, and fluctuation is less than 0.5 dB/h. Which improves working stability of MZ electro-optic modulator greatly..

The simulation of three parallel micro/nano optical fibers is performed by using the software of COMSOL Multiphysics which is on the basis of the finite element method. The results show that the coupling power distributions are approximation as the transmission distance changing when the distance between parallel micro/nano optical fibers is changed. The distributions are periodical and coupling periods increase when the distances increase. The polarization of incident light has an influence on coupling period and coupling efficiency. By utilizing the coupling characteristics among three parallel micro/nano optical fibers, a 3×1 micro/nano optical fiber coupler is designed and its coupling efficiency is approximately 93.3% when the appropriate coupling length and distances between the optical fibers are chosen..

A new stable demodulation method is proposed to eliminate the influence of temperature. The principle of wavelength demodulation is introduced, and the optical configurations are presented. Using a polarization maintaining fiber Sagnac loop as the edge filter and a distributed feedback (DFB) single wavelength laser as a reference light, FBG signal and reference lights are demodulated. Optical intensities of the transmission and reflection outputs from Sagnac loop filter are detected simultaneously, which are normalized and analyzed by the differential detection method. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that using this technology, the temperature influence on the Sagnac loop filter is sufficiently eliminated, and the stability of the demodulator is improved. When the Bragg wavelengths range from 1302 nm to 1318 nm, the wavelength shift of the demodulator due to temperature is small as 2.4×10-4 nm/℃, which is as 1.8×10-4 times as that of an uncompensated Sagnac loop filter without the DFB reference light..

It is necessary to distinguish the respective contribution of those factors. In this paper, a method is introduced to calibrate pupil balance by removing telecentriciy, and a comparison is made with another approach based on finding centroid. A user defined program, which is written in Matlab with the function of manipulating Code V and LightTools data, is consequently made up to implement the above technique and calculate the real position of pupil intensity in angular plane without telecentircity. Beside, a series of simulation on an optimally designed lithographic lens under off-axis illumination is given to show the verification.

Due to the environment temperature, pressure aSpectral absorption method is an effective means to detect methane concentration. Through the prism chamber combined with the application of photonic crystal fiber, the on-line detection of methane concentration with a high precision by the spectral absorption is realized. Due to the environment temperature, pressure and the influence of the system itself, the received signal contains a lot of noises. According to the characteristics of strongly ability to generalize and seek the global optimal point, support vector machine (SVM) is used to process the signal of methane detection. Through Matlab simulation based on the SVM principle, it can effectively filter out noise, separate the effective signal and assess the effect of denoising with signal to noise ratio (SNR). Using this method to filter can make the SNR reach above 130 dB, which is greatly improved compared with the traditional wavelet denoising, to achieve the ideal denoising purpose..
