Laser Phase Recovery Based on Propagation Properties of Gaussian Beam
Peng Jinping, Feng Guoying, and Lan Bin
In order to reduce the carrier frequency error of the processed interferogram by using the Fourier transform method, and accurately recover the laser phase to be measured, we propose a phase retrieval method based on the propagation property of Gaussian beam. On the cross section of the Gaussian beam along its directioIn order to reduce the carrier frequency error of the processed interferogram by using the Fourier transform method, and accurately recover the laser phase to be measured, we propose a phase retrieval method based on the propagation property of Gaussian beam. On the cross section of the Gaussian beam along its direction of propagation, the phase of the beam is a symmetrical convex or concave surface. The curvature of the convex or concave surface is related to the propagation distance. According to this property, the size of the carrier frequency is calculated and the phase to be measured is finally restored. In theory, the size of the carrier frequency can be calculated accurately, and the phase to be measured can be restored with high precision. Both numerical simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method can accurately recover the phase to be measured..

In the study of narrow linewidth laser light echol detection under strong background, we utilize spectral filtering method to filter out background light and improve the signal-to-noise ratio. For the grating filter system, the transmission of signal light through the atmospheric channel will cause the wavefront phase In the study of narrow linewidth laser light echol detection under strong background, we utilize spectral filtering method to filter out background light and improve the signal-to-noise ratio. For the grating filter system, the transmission of signal light through the atmospheric channel will cause the wavefront phase distortion, and this will have a certain effect on the filtering performance of the system, so it is necessary to study it further. Aiming at the application of grating spectral filtering in the laser atmospheric transmission detection direction, based on the laser atmospheric transmission theory and the grating diffraction principle, we establish the simulation model of the spectral intensity distribution of the grating when the incident light field is atmospheric disturbance light field. The influences of atmospheric coherent length and system structural parameters on system performance are analyzed. The system of the grating spectral filtering technology and the atmospheric applicable conditions are given. When the atmospheric coherent length r0 is greater than 0.05 m, sub-nanometer level spectral filter linewidth (full width at half maximum is 0.3 nm) is obtained, and the transmission of the effective spectrum exceeds 0.90. The results are verified by a large number of simulation experiments..

Gao Yaru, Liu Dean, Yang Aihua, Zhang Pan, and Zhu Jianqiang

First, the theoretical analysis shows that this method is able to control the spatial frequency of the spatial periodic modulation. The intensity of the spatial frequency is modulated by changing the magnitude of the phase carrier, and for the amplitude-type spatial periodic modulation, the period of the phase carrier can change the position of the maximum intensity of the spatial frequency. Then, the experiment on the effect of phase carrier on the amplitude-type spatial periodic modulation is carried out. The feasibility of the method is verified by experimental results and numerical simulations. The output near-field beam and the corresponding one-dimensional average power spectral density curve before and after the phase carrier modulation are compared. It is found that the peak value of the spatial frequency drops by an order of magnitude and decreases to near the background value after phase carrier modulation in the experiment. This method provides a new way to compensate and control the sensitive spatial periodic modulation in high power laser systems..

Results show that, under the same conditions the thermal power and the thermal lens focal length are approximately inversely proportional, and the slow axis divergence angle is approximately linear with thermal power. When the thermal power reaches 10 W, the thermal lens focal length is 568 μm, and the slow axis divergence angle increases about 10°.

Ding Guangxin, Xia Hui, Liu Guoqiang, Li Yuanyuan, and Wang Lili

Through detecting the Lorentz force effect of the samples, magneto-acousto-electrical tomography is confirmed to have ability to implement early diagnosis of tumor tissues with recognition of changes in electrical conductivity of organisms. In all previous work on magneto-acousto-electrical tomography, incident ultrasonic pulses are generated from conventional piezoelectric transducers. To avoid the electromagnetic interference to the ultrasonic excitation system, the piezoelectric transducer is required to be placed far away from the detected sample. However, the long distance of ultrasonic propagation between the ultrasonic transducer and the sample limits further clinical research. Firstly, laser-induced ultrasound transducers based on photoacoustic effect are proposed. The optic ultrasonic transducers are polymer-nanomaterial composites formed by carbon black and polydimethylsiloxane, which are promising to generate high-frequency and high-intensity ultrasonic signals through decreasing the thickness of composite films. The acoustic fields generated by optimized laser-induced ultrasound transducers are then characterized, and laser-induced ultrasound transducers are applied in the magneto-acousto-electrical tomography experiment. The results indicate that the output pressure and bandwidth of the ultrasonic signals generated by the laser-induced ultrasound transducers are similar to or better than those generated by the piezoelectric transducers. -6 dB frequency bandwidth and acoustic intensity of the laser-induced ultrasound transducers are measured to be about 7.5 MHz and 2.5 MPa, respectively. Due to the absence of electronics and metal in the laser-induced ultrasound transducers, acoustic sources generated by the laser-induced ultrasound transducers are compatible with magneto-acousto-electrical tomography and insensitive to electromagnetic interference..

According to the underwater broadening of laser pulse and the variation of pulse energy, the system uses a solid-state laser with the wavelength of 532 nm and the single pulse energy of 1 mJ as the emission source, and uses a telescope with the aperture of 100 mm and the field angle of 15° as the receiver. Low-density parity check codes (LDPC) and pulse-position modulation (PPM) are accomplished based on a field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The received signal after photoelectric conversion and sampling is transmitted to the host computer for post-processing. Finally, a pool experiment is used to verify the system performance based on the developed experimental system. The theoretical and experimental results demonstrate that the designed system with LDPC and PPM can obtain 2.34 dB coding gain at the same bit error rate (BER) under the condition of Jerlov Ⅱ water quality. Experiment shows that the system can achieve reliable underwater communication with BER of 10-5 and distance of 130 m..

Based on the fact that there are only background photons in these Aiming at the pulse position modulation (PPM) system of asynchronous sampling at sampling frequency of 1 slot, we propose a clock synchronization technique based on guard time. One or more guard time are inserted into each PPM signal in the transmitter. Based on the fact that there are only background photons in these guard time, while other slots have the characteristics of both background photons and signal photons, we achieve clock synchronization. At the receiving end, the sampling data is counted periodically with the number of slots in PPM signal. Then, the coarse timing synchronization is carried out based on the statistical distribution characteristics of photon in guard time. Finally, the interpolation matching search method is used for the fine timing synchronization. The simulation results show that the proposed method can achieve efficient synchronization within the scope of large timing offset, and increasing the number of guard time or increasing the amount of statistics can achieve ideal system bit error performance..

The experimental resulThe bismuth/erbium co-doped silica fiber (BEDF) is fabricated by combination of modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) technology with atomic layer deposition (ALD) doping technique. The melt stretching treatments are carried out, and its near-infrared luminescence characteristics are studied. The experimental results show that the transmission spectrum intensity of BEDF is decreased with the increase of the stretching length. At the same time, the luminescence intensities at 940 nm and 1100 nm ascribing to bismuth-related active centers (BACs), under the 980 nm pumping, are obviously increased with the increase of the stretching length, and when the stretching length is 1.5 cm, they are enhanced by 8.2 dB and 9.7 dB, respectively. After stretching treatments, the luminescence intensity enhancement of the 4.9 cm-long BEDF may result from the change of valence states of bismuth ions and the decrease of concentrations of BACs. These findings are of great significance for studying the near-infrared luminescent mechanism of bismuth related luminescent materials and improving the luminescent efficiency of luminescent centers..

For the downlink transmission, a stimulated Brillouin scattering-assisted narrow-band optical notch filter and a Sagnac loop are employed to generate a frequency-quadrupled vector signal directly in optical domain. At the base station, the unmodulated sideband of the downlink signal is filtered out by a polarizer and reused as the uplink optical carrier to achieve wavelength reuse. In the experiment, a quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) signal centered at 24 GHz is generated by frequency beating. A 400 Mbit/s downlink QPSK signal at 8 GHz and a 400 Mbit/s baseband on-off keying (OOK) signal as uplink are used to evaluate the system performance over a 6.15 km fiber link. The feasibility of the proposed system is confirmed by the experimental result..

A key technique of high-bit rate modulated sinusoidal signal and return to zero pseudo-random bit sequences (RZ-PRBS) pulse signal dynamic adjustable delay is achieved via the structure of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) cascaded band-pass filter based on light filtering. For the high-bit rate sinusoidal signal, when the 5 GHz signal propagates through the cascaded system, the fundamental harmonic fractional delay of 40% and -10% can be achieved by altering the SOA injection current, respectively. For a RZ-PRBS optical sequence, 44.6 ps (96.3 ps) advance (delay) can be achieved by tuning the injection current at the wavelength of 1549.735 nm (1550.525 nm). Experimental data shows that the proposed optical filter structure can realize the adjustable delay of high-bit rate modulation signal by changing the injection current of SOA. In the case of precisely controlling the SOA injection current, the optical filter structure can be used for signal synchronization and bit-by-bit signal processing in a communication system..

The results indicate that the microstructure of as-deposited sample is mainly composed of epitaxial growth columnar grains. After solution treatment at 1120 ℃, due to the occurrence of recrystallization, the columnar dendrites are replaced by fine equiaxed grains, and there are some twin boundaries in the grains. There is less difference in microstructures between the solution treated samples and the solution-aging treated samples, their microstructures are still composed of fine equiaxed grains, and the size of grains does not grow up. However, the γ′ phase precipitates in the γ matrix after the aging treatment. Compared with the tensile properties at room temperature of samples in three sates, it can be found that the solution samples have the lowest strength and highest plasticity, while the aging samples have the best performance with high strength and ductility at room temperature. The reason is that recrystallization fully takes place during the solution processing and the dislocation density is small, while the γ′ phase only precipitates after aging treatment, which can block dislocations movement..

It also has important influence on the crystallization process of molten pool and weld formation. The research objects of low-alloy high-strength steel are drilled holes and then filled with ZrO2 particles as tracer particles. And the position of keyhole, arc shape and flow characteristics of molten pool are recorded by high speed camera. The flow law of the molten pool surface during laser-GMAW hybrid welding is studied at different laser-arc distances. The results show that when the laser-arc distance is 1 mm, the keyhole is unstable and drift occurs. At the same time, the tracer particle flows to the rear along the central axis after circumventing the arc action zone. When the laser-arc distance is 3 mm, the position of the keyhole is relatively stable. However, the typical Karman vortex phenomenon appears during the flow of tracer particles. When the laser-arc distance is 5 mm, the keyhole position is stable, while the stagnation phenomenon of tracer particles appears as it flows through the middle region of laser keyhole and arc action zone. Under this condition, the moving distance of tracer particles is the largest. Comparing the cross-section morphology of the joints at three kinds of laser-arc distances, we can find that when the laser-arc distance is 1 mm, there are some pores at the bottom of the weld, which is caused by the unstable keyhole because of the small laser-arc distance. When the laser-arc distance is 5 mm, the distance between the two heat sources is too large, resulting in the increase of the coupling efficiency of the two heat sources, and significant decrease of the penetration depth. When the laser-arc distance is 3mm, the weld has no defect and the penetration depth is the largest..

The thermal damage evolution behaviors of quartz fiber/epoxy wave-transmitting material are obtained by the TG-DSC analysis of epoxy resin and quartz fiber. The infrared absorption spectrum and the crystalline material of ablation product on material after laser ablation are tested by transmission infrared spectroscopy and X ray diffraction, and the ablation morphology of the material is observed by scanning electron microscopy. The test results show that, after laser ablation at laser frequency of 7-17 GHz, the dielectric constant of the material dielectric constant is about 4.5, which is nearly 50% higher than before ablation. The laser irradiation makes the epoxy resin thermal decomposition and cracking, the graphite with conductive ability and chain state forms on material. At the same time, because of the rough and loose surface of the material, its reflection and scattering abilities on electromagnetic wave are enhanced, and the transmission capability is weakened..

The results show that, the droplet transfer process is influenced when the molten pool shape and wire-heating are changed by the laser, and the laser-CMT hybrid welding process is more stable than the CMT welding process. The CO2 laser has a relatively strong influence on the droplet volume. When the CO2 laser power is relatively low, the laser can promote the droplet transition. However, the laser prevents the droplet transition process when the laser power increases. The fiber laser has a less effect on the wire-heating, but can increase the transition frequency of droplets. The plasma temperatures from the CO2 laser and fiber laser increase with the increase of the laser power. The plasma by the CO2 laser presents a lump-like eruption but that by the fiber laser shows no eruption..

The results show that the near band edge emission intensity at room temperature increases first and then decreases with the increase of treatment time. As for the treatment time of 90 s, the intensity is 2.45 times that of the as-grown sample and simultaneously the defect-related photo-luminescence in visible region is suppressed. The mechanism of plasma treatment is analyzed by the comparison among luminescence spectra at 10 K. When the treatment time is short, the impurities and defects on the ZnO nanowire surfaces can be effectively removed by the Ar+ plasma and thus ultraviolet luminescence intensity is enhanced. When the treatment time is relatively long, the crystal structure is broken due to the introduction of more deep donor-state defects and thus the luminescence property is reduced..

Different doses of γ ray are used to irradiate on the II-type crystal. The optical performance and the laser induced damage threshold are tested. The research results show that different doses of γ ray irradiation do not change the lattice vibration modes within crystals, but can reduce the vibration intensity of the lattice at 912 cm-1. The defect types induced by the γ ray irradiation do not change, but the defect density increases with the increase of the irradiation dose. In addition, the laser induced damage threshold of crystal plates decreases with the increase of the irradiation dose..

ThenThree-dimensional (3D) point cloud data are widely used in intelligent driving, remote sensing, and virtual reality. This study presents a 3D point cloud classification algorithm that classifies large outdoor scenes effectively and accurately. First, the algorithm eliminates outliers from the original point cloud. Then, based on the off-the-shelf ground-filtering algorithm, it leverages difference of norms to filter ground points. Then, it uses the density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN) clustering algorithm to segment non-ground point cloud. The nearest fusion strategy is used to solve the oversegmentation problem of the point cloud. Then, the proposed algorithm extracts global features that represent different objects from the point cloud, including vertical slice sampling and centroid distance histograms, as well as histogram of oriented gradient (HOG) features representing a two-dimensional projected image of the point cloud. Finally, a support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used to obtain the accurate 3D point cloud classification results. The experimental results reveal that the proposed algorithm can classify complex large outdoor scenes into accurate single objects with high accuracy and high recall rate. The proposed algorithm is more efficient compared with other algorithms..

Under the condition of the chaotic signal 100 MHz and 500 MHz low pass filter, the peak values of the autocorrelation coefficient and the permutation entropy at the feedback round trip time are used to quantitative extract the time-delay signature. The time-delay signatures with various feedback strengths are measured at different bias currents. The results show that the filtering effect suppresses the time-delay signature of the chaotic signal effectively. Under the condition of 1.5Ith bias current and -7.5 dB feedback strength, the autocorrelation function near the external cavity delay decreases from 0.264 to 0.036, and the permutation entropy increases from 0.985 to 0.997. Meanwhile, the peak value of the autocorrelation coefficient at the feedback round trip time is inversely proportional to the permutation entropy with the feedback strength increasing. The results also show that the complexity and strength of chaotic laser first rise, and then fall with the increase of feedback strength. The filtering effect induces the complexity of chaos to approach the maximum under lower feedback strength, and the complexity remains unchanged with the feedback strength increasing. Moreover, the filtering can also improve the intensity distribution and enhance the symmetry of probability-density function, which leads to substantial increase in the rate of random number generators..

Therefore, the normal matched filtering algorithm using emitting signal as the matched filtering has a bad performance in processing ocean Lidar data. To improve the performance of matched filtering algorithm, Mento Carlo method is used to simulate the signal waveforms at different depths. The simulation waveforms are used as the matched filtering at the corresponding depth. The adaptive depth extraction algorithm is tested on the data set which is measured in the South China Sea. The test shows that the adaptive depth extraction algorithm is more accurate and robust on ocean lidar data set.

The simulation is established by the finite-difference time-domain method. The near-field electric field distributions of different types of needle tips and substrates are numerically calculated under the same conditions, verifying the effectiveness of the designed method in the Raman scattering enhancement. Next, the electric field intensity of the model is systematically analyzed under different influencing factors: the curvature radius of the tip, the thickness and height of the silver film on the tip, the diameter of the silver nanoparticles, the gap between the tip and the silver nanoparticles, and the incident angle. The field enhancement factor is maximized at a tip-curvature radius of 5 nm, a silver-film thickness of 25 nm, a silver-film height of 300 nm, a silver-nanoparticle diameter of 55 nm, a 1 nm gap between the tip and silver nanoparticles, and an incident angle of 45°. The largest enhancement factor is of the order of magnitude of 107. The simulation results provide an important theoretical basis and experimental guidance for preparing high-efficiency tip and TERS active substrate structures..

The main algorithm-control parameters that affect the accuracy of compressed 3D reconstructions are the number of iteration and the sparse restriction parameter. In this paper, we use subjective and objective evaluations to analyze the influences of these parameters on the reconstruction results for an ideal situation. Considering that noise is generated because the actual target plate is inhomogeneous, we mainly study the influences of the control parameters in reconstruction algorithms containing different levels of Gaussian noise on reconstructed results. The results show that when the number of iteration is 200, sparse restriction parameter is 0.02, 0.1 and 0.1 for the ideal case and Gaussian noise variance of 0.0005 and 0.001, respectively..
