Ren Zhijun, Ying Chaofu, Chen Bo, and Yang Zhaoqing

It is found that the number of roots of the critical equation determines the optical morphogenesis of Pearcey beams. This critical equation has at most three real roots, which correspond to three stable points and three diffraction lines, respectively. By choosing suitable control variables of Pearcey beams, if two of the three real roots are equal, the two corresponding diffraction lines overlap and the caustic line of Pearcey beams is formed. If three real roots are all equal, the optical cusp of Pearcey beams is formed. The study not only clarifies the mathematical mechanism of the generation of caustics and optical cusps of Pearcey beams, but also shows the caustic line equation and the position of the optical cusp..

Using peak Strehl ratio (Sr) and the proposed fast-steady-convergence percentage as evaluation criterion, good correction capability for static distorted wave-front is verified by analyzing the impact of different perturbation coefficient, the number of Zernike modes, and slope factor on correction effect and convergence speed under different turbulence intensity. The results show that when the perturbation coefficient is less than 0.01, the system can converge steadily and increasing the number of Zernike modes can ascend Sr of the convergence while it will sacrifice some convergence speed. A modified vector slope factor is put forward, and the system correction can be improved efficiently after the first iteration. For the large distorted wavefront has strong adaptability especially..

By using coaxial superposition interference of vortex beams, we can generate the light with binary orbital angular momentum, and apply it to the topological charge number detection of orbital angular momentum. We use fork dislocation grating to generate centrosymmetric vortex beams and then discuss the generation of light beams with binary orbital angular momentum by the interference of two vortex beams with different topological charge numbers. Numerical and experimental results show that with the change of the topological charge number value, either plus or minus, the interference image which is generated by the interference superposition of two vortex beams is also changing regularly. According to this, vortex beams can be detected. Moreover, vortex beam has important significance in information transmission and coding. Our study provides experiment basis for the reuse of vortex beams in free space communication, and provides potential for performance improvement of optical communication system..

Detailed theoretical analysis and a numerical simulation are carried out to find how to determine the modulation frequency and reconstruct the spectral phase. A femtosecond pulse shaper is set up based on the PPM algorithm. The shaper is driven by our home-developed LabVIEW program and can be used to measure and compensate spectral phase of femtosecond pulses. The experimental results are verified with the multi-photon intra-pulse interference phase scan (MIIPS) method. Different from such existing ultrafast pulse measurement methods as MIIPS, the PPM method only needs to measure the signal intensity to determine the spectral phase quickly, and requires no spectrum measurements of nonlinear signals..

The asymmetric microstructure is designed in fiber core to split the x and y polarized core modes. The index matching liquid is filled into the air-hole of the fiber cladding, so that the x or y polarized core modes match the defect mode. The matching switch between the two polarized modes is realized by changing the refraction index of filled liquid. The results show that the x polarized mode matches when the refractive index of the liquid is 1.288. When the frequency of the incident light is higher than 0.73 THz, the polarization loss ratio of the fiber is bigger than 100, and the optical fiber operates in y-polarization mode. At the frequency of 1 THz, the polarization loss ratio reaches the maximum of 1020. The y polarized mode matches when the refractive index of the liquid is 1.338. From 0.87 THz to 0.93 THz, the polarization loss ratio of the fiber is bigger than 100, and the optical fiber operates in x-polarization mode. At the frequency of 0.9 THz, the polarization loss ratio reaches the maximum of 118. This design has realized the switch of the single fiber polarization operation mode, and has features such as broadband, tunable and easy to fabricate..

Because the interferent light beams come from the diffraction of gratings, the system is sensitive to gap and rotational tolerance between the optical head and scale, and is difficult to align.

The simultaneous measurement methods of multiple parameters of supersonic gas flow in uniform flow filed are studied using the harmonic signals of two H2O absorption spectral lines. The measurement results based on wavelength modulation spectrum technology can precisely reflect the gas parameters in the uniform flow field, while the actual flow field often has the boundary layers. Aiming at the approximate uniform flow field with boundary layer, the numerical simulation is carried out to study the effect of line selection and boundary layer thickness on the measurement result of core flow in flow field. The simulation results show that the measurement error increases with the boundary layer thickness, and the absorption spectral lines which are insensitive to temperature of boundary layers can effectively decrease the influence of boundary layer. The experiments of supersonic gas flow is carried out in a direct-connected scramjet test facility isolator, the results show that the measurement method based on wavelength modulation spectroscopy has high measurement accuracy in strong noise and strong vibration environments. The maximum relative deviation of predicted value and measured value for temperature, H2O concentration, pressure, velocity and mass flux are less than 8.2%, 7.2%, 2.0%, 3.1% and 6.4%, respectively..

Based on the principle of image motion vector measurement with joint transform correlator, an improved method is proposed. To detect the edges of low altitude images, the improved self-feedback fuzzy edge detection method is presented to realize the input image preprocessing. By eliminating the 0th diffraction peak, the coordinates of relative correlation peaks are extracted with centroid method, and the high-precision detection of relative correlation peaks is achieved. The measurement accuracy and performance of proposed techniques are analyzed with simulation test and real low imaging experiments. Simulation tests show that the detection accuracy can be controlled within 0.03 pixel, when motion blur in the range of 0~10 pixel, Gaussian noise is less than 0.002 and the displacement between image in 0~20 pixel. Experimental results further show that the measurement accuracy of the proposed method reaches 0.2 pixel, and it can detect the image displacement vector of low altitude images with high accuracy and robustness..

By theoretical analysis and analog simulation, the characteristics of spatial resolution in different off-axis positions of framing image tube with single lens and treble lenses are studied. Experiments are also conducted to verify the results. In the simulation, when the imaging demagnification is 21, the single lens structure can reach 5 lp/mm spatial resolution within 10 mm off-axis radius, while the treble lenses structure can reach 5 lp/mm spatial resolution within 30 mm off-axis radius. In the experiments, the single lens structure can reach 5 lp/mm spatial resolution within 12 mm off-axis radius, while the single lens structure can reach 5 lp/mm spatial resolution within 27 mm off-axis radius. The results show that by using the framing image tube of treble lenses structure design, its effective detection area is about 4 times as large as that of the single lens structure..

High precise frequency transfer is realized in partial Beijing-Shanghai optical fiber backbone network of 430 km using the cascaded method. The entire cascaded system is comprised of two stages with fiber links of 280 km and 150 km, respectively. To keep high symmetry and low noise, specific bi-directional Erbium-dopedHigh precise frequency transfer is realized in partial Beijing-Shanghai optical fiber backbone network of 430 km using the cascaded method. The entire cascaded system is comprised of two stages with fiber links of 280 km and 150 km, respectively. To keep high symmetry and low noise, specific bi-directional Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers are used to compensate the large optical attenuation of each fiber link. When the whole system achieves stable status by optical compensation method, the stabilities of 1.02×10-13 at 1 s and 8.24×10-17at 104 s are obtained. Experimental results verify that the actual results of the cascaded system are in accord with the error theoretical ones calculated from the results of two stages..

Single-Polarization Directional Coupler Based on Dual-Core Photonic Bandgap Fiber
Li Xuyou, Xu Zhenlong, Ling Weiwei, Liu Pan, Xia Linlin, and Yang Hanrui
A single-polarization (SP) directional coupler based on dual-core photonic bandgap fiber (PBF) is proposed, and the coupling properties of the coupler are studied numerically using the full vector finite element method (FEM). Results show that by appropriately adjusting the size of the holes between the cores and the rA single-polarization (SP) directional coupler based on dual-core photonic bandgap fiber (PBF) is proposed, and the coupling properties of the coupler are studied numerically using the full vector finite element method (FEM). Results show that by appropriately adjusting the size of the holes between the cores and the refractive index of doping, the SP property can be obtained in a coupler; however, the ellipticity of the hole between two cores has no effect on the SP property, which means that the coupler has high structure parameter error tolerance; an SP directional coupler with length of 0.403 mm is obtained by optimizing the parameters. In the application of the all polarization-maintaining PBF (PM-PBF) based resonant cavities, the coupler can serve as a beam splitter and a polarizer at the same time, break the resonant condition of secondary eigenstate of polarization (ESOP) and effectively inhibit its transmission. The mode field of SP coupler with short length matches with the PM-PBF proposed in former study, which is beneficial to the establishment of an all PM-PBF resonant cavities, and therefore has great significance in reducing the thermally induced polarization crosstalk noise of resonator fiber-optic gyroscopes (RFOG) and improving the long-term stability of RFOG..

To solve the low channel estimation performance of LED communication system, a visible light communication system which combines the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system with the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology and its adaptive channel estimation based on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)To solve the low channel estimation performance of LED communication system, a visible light communication system which combines the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system with the multiple input multiple output (MIMO) technology and its adaptive channel estimation based on signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are proposed. The critical threshold of SNR is determined when the five algorithms, i.e., least squares (LS), minimum mean square error (MMSE), least squares-discrete Fourier transform (LS-DFT), minimum mean square error-discrete Fourier transform (MMSE-DFT) and distributed compressed sensing synchronous orthogonal matching pursuit (DCS-SOMP), are analyzed. When SNR is lower than the critical threshold, the MMSE-DFT algorithm is used for the channel estimation, and when SNR is higher than the critical threshold, the DCS-SOMP algorithm is applied to the data reconstruction and the recovery of channel impulse response matrix. Simulation results show that when SNR is 1 dB~40 dB the proposed algorithm can reduce the mean square error (MSE) from 2.95 dB to 15 dB, and improve the LED communication quality..

We proposed an orthogonal-polarization switching method and a signal synthesis algorithm based on the phase generated carrier (PGC) scheme to solve the problem for the pulse interrogation. The principle of the method was demonstrated and an algorithm for signal synthesis was derived based on the PGC scheme. The experimental results show that the equivalent visibility is steady between 0.93 and 0.94, and the background noise of the synthesized signal is lower than that of all the four polarization channels. The method can eliminate the polarization induced low frequency phase drift as well, making the synthesis results not influenced by perturbation of polarization states. The long time measurement results demonstrate that the background noise can reach -96 dB/Hz at 1 kHz when the frequency of the PGC demodulation was 8 kHz. This result is equivalent to that of the system with the Faraday rotator mirrors. This method is applicable for solving the signal fading problem in the time division multiplexing sensor array especially for the inline interferometric fiber sensor array based on fiber Bragg gratings and the distributed sensor array..

The relationship between the scale factor error, phase error of the transformer and the system loop gain is theoretically investigated. It′s determined that the loop gain drift is one of the main reasons that lead to the degradation of the long-time operation accuracy of the transformer. A method for online loop gain monitoring is presented which can monitor the change of loop gain in real time. The monitoring value can be used as one of the fault monitoring points for long-time operation of the transformer. Based on it, the model correctness is verified by experiments. Results show that on the condition of ensuring the static test accuracy, the greater the system loop gain value is, the smaller the influence of loop gain fluctuation on scale factor error and phase error of the transformer will be. When the system loop gain is 0.05, the loop gain fluctuation should not exceed 10% to ensure that the transformer measurement accuracy in long-time operation is less than the required error limit..

In order to realize vibration estimation in airborne synthetic aperture ladar (SAL) effectively, a kind of vibration estimation and imaging method is proposed based on interferometry processing of three detectors with orthogonal baselines, and the signal model is established and its accuracy is analyzed. This method need to make the field of view overlap, and it is realized by the characteristic of SAL non-imaging optical system. The optical system containing a wide swath ground imaging detector and three vibration estimating detectors is introduced. The impact of overlapped degree of field of view of detectors and signal-to-noise ratio on performance of vibration estimation are discussed respectively. The imaging simulation results of the elevation fluctuation terrain under platform vibration condition validate the effectiveness of the proposed method..

By detecting spectral envIn conventional Brillouin optical time domain reflectometry (BOTDR), mutual restraint between the spatial resolution and the width of spontaneous Brillouin scattering spectrum can not be avoided. To solve this problem, we ameliorated the approach using double ultra-short pulses as probe light. By detecting spectral envelope, the spatial resolution of BOTDR can be extracted. This method improves the spatial resolution of the BOTDR system and meanwhile avoids the influence of Brillouin gain spectrum broadening caused by narrowing pulse on measurement accuracy. The experimental results show that with this novel BOTDR system, the temperature measurement can be realized at a 0.5 m spatial resolution, and the large broadening of the spontaneous Brillouin scattering spectrum can be avoided..
