Qian Muyun, and Yu Youlong
In order to realize the compound tactile sensing of mechanical finger, a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor are packaged in the same polymer sensing unit, and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is used as a sensing element. The characteristics of the pressure sensor disturbed by temperature of target object are analyzedIn order to realize the compound tactile sensing of mechanical finger, a pressure sensor and a temperature sensor are packaged in the same polymer sensing unit, and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is used as a sensing element. The characteristics of the pressure sensor disturbed by temperature of target object are analyzed. A back propagation neural network is used to process the tactile sensing signal of FBG, and thus the recognition of the positive pressure applied on the surface of sensing unit is achieved accurately. The simulation and experimental results show that this method eliminates the effect of the target object′s temperature on the strain sensor, and the uncertainty error of strain sensor is reduced. The compensation improves the stability of the pressure measurement and the measurement accuracy. The temperature drift rate of pressure sensor is 1.2×10-4 nm/℃ after compensation. The research can be applied to the FBG tactile sensing array installed on the mechanical finger. The temperature interference to the strain sensing can be suppressed, so that the tactile and sliding measurement system of flexible mechanical fingers have a broad application prospect..

Precise measurement of mode coupling coefficient in few-mode fiber and quantitative analysis on the relationship between mode coupling and the performance of MDM system can provide reliable basis for the system-damage compensation. The advantages and disadvantages of the present measuring methods for mode coupling in few-mode fiber are analyzed, and a measurement system of mode coupling in few-mode fiber with the structure of mode transverter/demultiplexer and an optical fiber circulator based on the Rayleigh backscattering theory is built. By compared with the measurement results of multiple-input-multiple-output power analysis, the measurement performance of the proposed system has been verified. The experimental results show that the proposed system can realize the measurement of the mode coupling distribution in few-mode fiber with the fiber length of 9.8 km, and the measurement results are stable..

Performance Analysis of DCO-OFDM and ACO-OFDM Systems in Indoor Visible Light Communications
Jia Kejun, Jin Bin, Hao Li, and Zhang Shouqin
To evaluate the effect of multipath channel accurately, a modeling method for indoor multipath channel in visible light communication (VLC) system with single light source is proposed. The impulse response of line-of-sight (LOS) and reflection transmission is calculated by recursive methods. Inter-symbol-interference (To evaluate the effect of multipath channel accurately, a modeling method for indoor multipath channel in visible light communication (VLC) system with single light source is proposed. The impulse response of line-of-sight (LOS) and reflection transmission is calculated by recursive methods. Inter-symbol-interference (ISI) is defined after the analysis on the relationship between sampling period of receiver and modulation bandwidth of light emitting diode (LED). Considering the delay time of LOS channel as the modeling origin, the gain of multipath channel is regarded as the sum of all the impulse response in adjacent sampling intervals of the receiver. Because the orthogonal frequency division multiplex (OFDM) technique can effectively resist the ISI, the bit-error-rate (BER) of asymmetrically-clipped optical OFDM (ACO-OFDM) system and direct current-biased optical OFDM (DCO-OFDM) system are derived and the Monte Carlo simulation models are built when the nonlinear clipping noise is considered in indoor multipath channel. The BER performance is studied for different locations of photoelectric detector (PD), semi-angles at half power of LED, fields of view (FOV) of PD, and direct current biases. The simulation results indicate that BER performance is best and the multipath interference is smallest when the PD is located at the center of the room. When PD moves towards the room corner, the BER performance becomes worse and the multipath interference become larger. As the FOV and the semi-angle at half power of LED increase, BER performance degrades due to the increased received power and multipath interference. Moreover, BER performance of DCO-OFDM system is more worse when DC biasing is larger..

Combined with the signal transmission of fine tracking control system, the effects of digital to analog converters with different resolution on the tracking accuracy of ATP system are analyzed. The experimental results show that the higher the resolution of digital to analog converter is, the better the tracking performance of the ATP system is. However, when a 14 bit digital to analog converter is used, there is little contribution to improve tracking accuracy even continue to increase the resolution. By analyzing the spectral component of spot centroid signal after tracking, we find that the resolution of digital to analog converter within frequency band and outside the disturbance suppression bandwidth is proportional to the corresponding spectral component, so it is necessary to improve the disturbance suppression bandwidth of fine tracking system to achieve high accuracy tracking..

Xu Qiang, Pan Feng, Huang Li, Wang Xingtao, Han Yiping, and Wu Zhensen

By using the angular-spectrum diffraction formula and the stationary-phase method, the analytic expression of the vectorial electrical field distribution for a Laguerre-Gaussian beam with an initial linear polarization state after some propagation distances is obtained. The electric field components along different directions and the spatial distribution of the equiphase surface are numerically calculated for a Laguerre-Gaussian beam which propagates along the z axis and is initially polarized in the x direction. The results show that, after some propagation distances, the electric field component which is parallel to the propagation direction appears and its intensity distribution shows a double-peak pattern. The value of this component is much lesser than that of the perpendicular component. With the increase of the topological charge, this parallel component increases and the light spot divergence degree enhances. This beam has a helical equiphase surface..

We find that when the lateral acceleration is a constant, the larger the initial launch angle is, the larger the initial launch angle changing is. In order to increase the initial launch angle, we manufacture cubic phase mask with big size using computer-generated hologram microfilming printing system. Accelerating Airy beams are generated with the phase mask, and the propagation trajectory of Airy beam can be controlled within a large range when the dislocation between the center of phase mask and optical axis of Fourier transform lens is changed..

The characteristics of coma beam propagating through the oceanic turbulence are studied by numerical simulation. It is shown that the comet-like beam shape disappears due to the oceanic turbulence. The position of mass center dose not coincide with the position of the maximum light intensity. The beam width calculated on the condition that the position of mass center is regarded as the center is smaller than the result calculated on the condition that the position of maximum light intensity is regarded as the center, but it suffers more from the oceanic turbulence. It should be mentioned that, when the energy Strehl ratio is chosen as the characteristic parameter, the larger the coma aberration coefficient is, the less the influence of the oceanic turbulence on the beam energy concentration is. If we choose β parameter as the characteristic parameter, the energy concentration suffers most from the oceanic turbulence when certain value of the coma aberration coefficient is adopted, which should be avoided in practice. Moreover, the physical meaning of the energy Strehl ratio is different from that of the β parameter. The influence of oceanic turbulence on the energy concentration defined by the energy within a given bucket radius (i.e., energy Strehl ratio) is different from that defined by the certain power percentage (i.e., β parameter), which should be paid much attention in practice..

It is necessary to study the effect of nucleus on the phase function. In this study, the Mie phase function, asymmetric factor g and second order parameter γ of monodisperse nucleated cells are modified based on the geometric scattering approximation theory, the effects of the morphological and optical parameters on the angular distribution of the Mie phase function and number of Airy peaks are analyzed. The variations of g and γ with wavelength, cell size, nucleus ratio and refractive index are numerically simulated. The results show that the distribution of the Mie phase function, number of Airy peaks, g and γ are not only related to the cell size, but also to the nucleus proportion and refractive index. The effect of intracellular optical structure cannot be ignored. Compared with HG phase function, the Mie phase function can describe the side-backscattering characteristics and calculate g and γ more accurately. The Mie phase function provides further theoretical support for studying label free cell detection methods and transmission characteristics of laser in biological tissues..

The longitudinal electric field which follows the form of zero order Bessel function in cross section is calculated based on the Kirchhoff diffraction theory when radially polarized light is reflected and focused by a conical mirror. The relationships among spot size of incident light, cone-apex angle, radius of the exit end of conical mirror and coherent length and lateral width of the optical field of convergence region are analyzed. With these results, a hybrid structure consisting of a conical mirror and a cylindrical reflection mirror is proposed. When the appropriate parameters of conical mirror and the cylindrical reflection mirror are designed, the cascaded and periodic distribution longitudinal electric field is formed, and then the dependence of the related parameters (including lateral width, period and duty circle) of cascaded longitudinal electric field on parameters of cylindrical reflection mirror is discussed. Results show that a cascaded longitudinal electric field with periodic length of 1154λ and duty circle of 1 is formed when the conical mirror has an cone-apex angle of 60° and the radius of the exit end and the inner diameter of cylindrical reflection mirror are both 999.682λ (λ is the wavelength). This simulation suggests that the acceleration zone length can even reach the meter level when it is used for electronic acceleration. The design of this cascaded longitudinal electric field will further increase the length of the electron acceleration region to a significant extent, which could accelerate the electronics to higher energy..

A three-dimensional physical model of a double-side fluid cooling system with microchannel structure is established in the present work. Flow, temperature and Nd∶YAG crystal slices′s stress fields of the cooling system are simulated, and effects of Reynolds number and heat flux inside crystal slice on thermal deformation of the slice are investigated with fluid-solid coupling method. Results show that the flow field significantly influences temperature and stress fields of the crystal slice. The maximum Von Mises equivalent stress decreases with the increase of the Reynolds number, and its maximum value is located at the edge of the slice. There are different distributions of the thermal deformation under different flow conditions. The heat flux is found to only affect the extent of the thermal deformation, the higher the heat flux, the more obvious the thermal deformation..

Experimental setup consists of two loop resonators with one common branch including the Er/Yb co-doped fiber. The 1.0 μm Q-switched pulses are generated via the saturable absorption effect of the unpumped Er/Yb co-doped fiber, whereas a reabsorption of 1.0 μm Q-switched pulses from the Yb ions modulates the population inversion of Er ions periodically to generate 1.5 μm gain-switched pulses at the same repetition rate of 1.0 μm Q-switched pulses. With the increasing of pump power, the repetition rates of both pulses vary from 5.4 kHz to 11.7 kHz. However, the 1.5 μm pulses have a delay relative to 1.0 μm pulses, and the delay decreases with the increasing of pump power. At the maximum pump power, the pulse duration, single pulse energy and average output power for 1.0 μm pulses are 5.3 μs, 402.6 nJ and 4.7 mW respectively, whereas they are 4.6 μs, 374.4 nJ and 4.4 mW respectively for 1.5 μm pulses..

Zhang Xue, Ge Wenqi, Yu Jin, Liu Dianmin, Chang Hui, and Fan Zhongwei
A pulsed single-longitude-mode laser which uses a Fabry-Perot (F-P) etalon to select mode has advantages of simple compact structure and tunable wavelength. However, the output energy of the laser is sensitive to the change of cavity length, and the long-term stability is poor. To solve these problem, the main factors A pulsed single-longitude-mode laser which uses a Fabry-Perot (F-P) etalon to select mode has advantages of simple compact structure and tunable wavelength. However, the output energy of the laser is sensitive to the change of cavity length, and the long-term stability is poor. To solve these problem, the main factors affecting the stability of output energy are analyzed based on the principle of single-longitude-mode laser with F-P etalon. The relationship among frequency, resonant cavity length and energy of output laser is obtained. An energy stability control method of dynamic feedback control cavity length is proposed. A high-speed digital circuit energy stabilization system based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) is designed. The length of resonant cavity is controlled periodically with the proposed method, and the intensity of the nanosecond pulsed laser signal is detected by photodiode. The frequency variation of longitudinal caused by the cavity length modulation directly affects the intensity of the output laser signal. The information of laser intensity change is analyzed, and the cavity length detuning is calculated. Based on this, the cavity length compensation is realized and a closed-loop control system is formed. Finally, the long-term stable output of the single-longitude-mode laser is achieved. Experimental results show that energy stability of the nanosecond pulsed single-longitude-mode laser is significantly improved with the proposed control system. The energy instability of continuous working for 3 h is 1.3%..

The study results show that the microstructural morphology of TiB2 is obviously different in the strengthened layer when the TiB2 content is different in laser cladding powders. The average microhardness of the strengthened layer is between 1150 HV and 1450 HV. The gradient coating has the lowest wear rate when the mass fraction of TiB2 is 10%. When the mass fraction of TiB2 is 30%, the coefficient friction of the gradient coating is stable (about 0.4). The transition layer between the strengthened layer and the substrate can effectively reduce the abrupt changes of the composition and microhardness between the strengthened layer and the substrate, which makes the transitions of the composition and microhardness smooth in the gradient coating..

However, the friction coefficient and the surface roughness of the work piece treated by the former are less than those by the latter..

The effects of the linear laser energy density and the microrod diameter on the compressive property along the forming direction (Z axis) and non-forming direction (X/Y axis) of these body-centered-cubic porous structures are studied. The results show that the body-centered-cubic porous structures fabricated by the SLM technology exhibit an obvious anisotropy. With the decrease of the linear energy density, the compressive strength of these body-centered-cubic porous structures increases first and then decreases. The degree of anisotropy is the lowest under the optimal parameters. With the decrease of the microrod diameter, the degree of anisotropy gradually weakens and when the microrod diameter reaches 0.4 mm, the degree of anisotropy is only about 3%. The research indicates that, even an isotropic porous structure, after fabrication by SLM technology, shows an obvious anisotropy. Such an anisotropy is related to the forming quality and the interlayer boundary which can be weakened to a certain extent by adjusting process parameters and changing model characteristic dimensions..

The influences of different process parameters on the residual stress distributionThe numerical simulation of three-dimensional flattened laser shocking of 2024 aluminum alloy is conducted with the finite element method, and the simulation results are consistent with the experimental results obtained from literatures. The influences of different process parameters on the residual stress distribution in materials are studied. The results show that, when the spot size increases, the residual stress of materials increases while the change gradient of the surface residual stress decreases. When the shocking times increase, the residual stress increases and tends to saturate. When the overlapping rate is 10%, the change gradient of the surface residual stress is relatively small. When the overlapping rate increases, the residual stress along the depth direction increases but its increasing amplitude is small..

The experimental results show that, under the action of external longitudinal magnetic field, the weld joint reinforcement decreases, the weld width increases, the forming coefficient increases, and the cross section appears wide and deep. The external magnetic field alters the thermal cycle of the weld joint, which makes the striped δ-ferrite precipitation occur in the heat affected zone and the grain growth is inhibited. The external magnetic field causes the rotation of the molten pool and the weld joint grains are refined. The uniformity of crystallization is improved and the microhardness distribution becomes stable. This effect enhances with the increase of the magnetic induction intensity but weakens with the increase of the weld joint depth..

The effects of HAuCl4·3H2O aqueous solution concentration, laser pulse energy and dispersant polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) amount on particle size and size distribution of gold nanoparticles are investigated by means of UV-Vis absorption spectrum, transmission electron microscopic morphology, X-ray diffraction spectrum, and selected area electron diffraction pattern. The results show that the surface plasma resonance absorption peak of the gold nanoparticles locates around 530 nm. Lower solution concentration, higher laser pulse energy and higher PVP amount are helpful to obtain nanoparticles with smaller average particle size, narrower particle size range and higher dispersion when other experimental parameters are fixed at certain values. The prepared particles are mostly spherical and display multi-nanocrystal surface structure. The strong X-ray diffraction peaks of (111), (200), (220) and (311) crystal planes of gold nanocrystal are observed.

The fringe nonuniformity is a key factor to influence the measurement accuracy of LDV. To accurately measure fluid velocity of LDV, the interference fringe spacing and the gradient distribution in the measuring volume have to be determined exactly. The interference fringe spacing and the gradient distribution of LDV in the measuring volume are analyzed in theory. The relationship between the Gaussian beam propagation characteristics and its interference fringe distribution are revealed. The parameters influencing the interference fringe distribution are determined. The beam waist radii of the green beam and purple beam are 114 μm and 83 μm respectively, which are obtained by beam profiler. Meanwhile, the spatial location of the beam waist is determined. The interference fringe spacing and gradient distribution of green and purple beams in the measuring volume at any locations are quantified by using measured parameters. In the measuring volume of green and purple beams, normalized fringe gradient maximums can reach 0.46% and 0.60%, respectively. The interference fringe spacing results of green and purple beams measured by spinning-disk system are compared, and theoretical analysis and measuring results of the interference fringes distribution are verified. The maximum relative errors are 0.87% and 0.78%, respectively..

The imaging system can quickly image flames of burning solid fuel at particular ultraviolet waveband. CCD47-20 has deeper potential sell, which guarantees SNR of the imaging system. However, the exposure time of these CCD is usually above 200 ms. To realize quick exposure on target, a CCD driven timing sequence with twice-frame-transfer and once-horizontal-readout is designed based on the analysis of performance and working principle of CCD47-20.

It consists of two sections of common single-mode fiber (SMF), and a TDCF is welded between them. The structure is SMF-TDCF-SMF. Because the mode field of the SMF core mode does not match that of theA tapered double-cladding fiber (TDCF) temperature sensor based on surface temperature sensitive thin-film is presented. It consists of two sections of common single-mode fiber (SMF), and a TDCF is welded between them. The structure is SMF-TDCF-SMF. Because the mode field of the SMF core mode does not match that of the TDCF core mode, the light transmitted from SMF is partially coupled into the TDCF core, and the rest is coupled into the TDCF cladding in the form of a cladding mode. When the two beams reach output end SMF and interfere, the Mach-Zehnder interferometer can be obtained. The TDCF is coated with a layer of temperature-sensitive thin-film, so that the optical path difference between the TDCF core mode and the cladding mode will change with the external temperature, thus causing a change in the sensor interference spectrum. Therefore, temperature measurement can be achieved by detecting changes in the sensing spectrum. The temperature characteristics of the sensor are experimentally studied, and the results show that the free spectral range of the sensor decreases with the increase of tapered cone length. When the length of the tapered cone is 16 mm and the temperature is within the range of 32-65.3 ℃, the transmission spectrum of the sensor is blue-shifted with the increase of temperature. The temperature sensitivity is up to -1296.78 pm/℃, and it has good linearity degree. The sensor is simple, highly sensitive, and has good prospects in temperature measurement occasions of scientific research, industrial and agricultural production..

The experimental system is set up to verify the accuracy of baseline fitting. Firstly, the calculation method of oxygen A-band average transmittance is given according to the blackbody radiation theory. The spectrum of the target to be measured is used as study object. The PLSR is used to fit the baseline of the target to be measured at oxygen A-band according to the out-of-band data. For the sake of improving the fitting accuracy, the singular point of measurement is eliminated. The baseline fitting uncertainty is used to evaluate the fitting accuracy of PLSR. In order to verify the accuracy of this method, the spectra with different distances and different resolutions at the same distance is measured in the range of ~130 m using the halogen light. These spectra are fitted and each standard deviation is analyzed. The results show that the average standard deviation is 0.23% with different resolutions at the same distance. The baseline fitting uncertainty becomes smaller and signal to noise ratio is increased with the resolution reducing. In addition, the baseline fitting uncertainty is related to the resolution of the test equipment. The higher the resolution is, the larger the uncertainty of out-of-band data baseline fitting becomes, whereas, the smaller the out-of-band baseline fitting becomes..

By detecting SERS of urine samples of the preoperative patient who has higher degree of atherosclerosis and is treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the patient who has lower degree of atherosclerosis and is not treated with PCI, as well as the Raman characteristic peak of PDGF-BB at Raman shift of 1509 cm-1, we find that the peak at 1509 cm-1 can be detected on the SERS of the patient with PCI, which reveals that the concentration of PDGF-BB in urine is correlative with the degree of atherosclerosis. The results show that the low concentration of aqueous solution of PDGF-BB can be detected by SERS technology, and the SERS of urine sample can be used to determine whether the patients with coronary heart disease need to have PCI. Hence, the technology will be a clinical diagnostic tool for non-destructive testing and screening coronary heart disease..

Using this system may greatly improve the signal-to-noise ratio and anti-jamming ability of laser light echo detection system. An ultra-narrow band spectral filter system based on dual MLD dispersion compensation gratings is designed, and theoretical simulation of the system aberration is made using CODE V software. The result shows that the system aberration can be ignored. Also, theoretical simulation of the filtering linewidth and effective energy transmittance of the system is made by Matlab software, which provides a relatively complete theoretical basis for choosing the optimal structure parameters to solve the actual filtering problem in actual situation. Finally, by using domestic multi-layer film dielectric gratings in the laboratory, we successfully transform the input laser with spectrum full-width at half-maxima (FWHM) of 0.3 nm into the output laser spectrum FWHM of 0.03 nm, which is at center wavelength band of 1064 nm..
