Rui Jiang, Yanliang He, Xiaoke Zhang, Yao Cai, Junmin Liu, Shuqing Chen, Ying Li, and Dianyuan Fan
Metasurfaces have been widely used to generate cylindrical vector beams (CVB) owing to its inherent advantages of high efficiency and compact structure. However, a disadvantage of this method is that the polarization order of the generated CVB is hard to be changed, because the structure of metasurface is fixed. To solMetasurfaces have been widely used to generate cylindrical vector beams (CVB) owing to its inherent advantages of high efficiency and compact structure. However, a disadvantage of this method is that the polarization order of the generated CVB is hard to be changed, because the structure of metasurface is fixed. To solve this problem, we experimentally demonstrate a simple and efficient method to manipulate the polarization order of CVB through modes addition and subtraction operation at the working wavelength of 1550 nm. By two cascaded metasurfaces, the subtraction operation of polarization orders is realized. Further, a half wave-plate inserted between two metasurfaces is used to reverse polarization orders, in order that the add computation of polarization orders is realized. Experimental results are in good agreement with the calculation results through Jones matrix, and the polarization order of CVB can be adjusted from -8 to 8 with step length of 2 by modes addition and subtraction..

Yang Zhang, Jingshu Ni, Yuanzhi Zhang, Zhaohui Fang, Yikun Wang, and Yong Liu
Tissue phantoms with different optical parameters are designed to study the influence of absorption and scattering on tissue fluorescence and diffuse reflection spectra.

An empirical recovery algorithm is optimized to correct the influence of absorption and scattering and obtain the intrinsic fluorescence spectrum of tissues. The results reveal that the empirical recovery algorithm (experience parameters kx and km are 0.9 and -0.8, respectively) can effectively reduce the influence of absorption and scattering on the fluorescence intensity, and the fluorescence intensity is linearly correlated with the concentration of fluorescence components. When we apply spectral recovery algorithm to the screening of diabetes based on skin tissue fluorescence spectrum, the results reveal that, comparing to the fluorescence spectrum before recovery, the area under receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve increases from 0.54 to 0.81; besides, the sensitivity also increases from 38.6% to 77.6% when the specificity is 70.6%. Therefore, this study makes a major contribution to research on clinical application by optimizing fluorescence spectrum empirical recovery algorithm with tissue phantoms..

With the development of infrared optical fiber technology, it is urgent to develop an infrared low loss chalcogenide optical fibers with perfect-structure and high nonlinearity.

In this paper, the two kinds of glass samples of As40Se58Te2 and As40Se60 are prepared by the traditional vacuum melt-quenching method and dynamic distillation purification process. Then we obtain a fine-structured chalcogenide optical fiber prefabricated rod prepared by two multi-step extrusion method. After that, the preform is drawn into a low loss step type single-mode chalcogenides glasses fiber under the protection of polyether sulfone (PES) polymer. The results show that the distillation process can effectively remove most of the impurities in the chalcogenide glasses. 2% mole percent of Se is replaced by Te, which can effectively achieve a small numerical aperture (NA) and single-mode transmission characteristics. The single-mode chalcogenides fiber loss test is measured by the truncation method with a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy spectrometer. The minimum loss of this fiber can be reduced to 1.66 dB/m at 6.06 μm and these glasses working band is from 2.5 to 12 μm. The output of a supercontinuum spectrum covering 1.5-13.2 μm (40 dB bandwidth) is obtained with an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) as the pump source. The fiber has good mid-far infrared transmission performance and extremely high optical nonlinearity..

Wei Li, Weimin Liu, Liming Zhou, Linghao Cheng, and Baiou Guan
We propose a technique to separate the upper and the lower sidebands of an optical carrier based on orthogonal optical coherent receiving, which can be used in Brillouin scattering distributed fiber-optic sensing systems to separate Stokes and anti-Stokes scattering without loss. In the orthogonal optical coherent receWe propose a technique to separate the upper and the lower sidebands of an optical carrier based on orthogonal optical coherent receiving, which can be used in Brillouin scattering distributed fiber-optic sensing systems to separate Stokes and anti-Stokes scattering without loss. In the orthogonal optical coherent receiving technology, phase information of the optical field is preserved. So the upper and the lower sidebands can be arranged in coherent addition or cancellation states in different outputs, and the separation of the upper and the lower sidebands is realized. The results show that the technique can output the upper and lower sidebands from different ports, with a good linear relationship between input power and output power. The crosstalk between the separated upper and lower sidebands can be less than -20 dB. Compared with frequently employed optical filtering, this technique has no temperature sensitive component and shows good stability and robustness..

The requirements of communication, high-accuracy measurement and autonomous orbit determination for navigation satellite crosslink are also considered. The periodic tables of inter-satellite laser links for navigation satellite are established via the finite state automation (FSA), and a multi-objective optimization model of topology is set up considering the three engineering constraints as follows: satellite platform, orbit dynamics, acquisition and tracking performance of laser terminal. The two quantitative indices of networks delay and position dilution of precision (PDOP) are used to evaluate the performance of communication and high-accuracy measurement. An improved algorithm based on multi-objective simulated annealing (MOSA) is proposed and used to solve the global optimization topology structure. Dynamic optimizations can be performed especially when some satellites or inter-satellite laser links are unavailable. Meanwhile, a link exchange method with conflict avoidance is applied, as well as an improved multi-sources minimum delay routing algorithm. Finally, simulation results show that the optimized topology has good communication and measurement performance and effectively improves networks delay and PDOP in GNSS which is comprised of 24 mesospheric earth orbit (MEO) and 3 inclined geo-synchronization orbit satellite (IGSO) satellites, and the requirements of both high-speed data and high-accuracy measurement are achieved even if individual satellites or inter-satellite laser links are unavailable..

Based on nonlinear polarization rotation mode locking and chirped pulse amplification, an erbium doped femtosecond fiber laser output with repetition rate of 100 MHz, output power of 423 mW, and pulse width of 80 femto-second (fs) is achieved at 1560 nm. Then we obtain 780 nm femtosecond lasers through SHG with three different PPLN crystals respectively. The thicknesses of PPLN crystals are 0.5, 1 and 10 mm. For 0.5 mm crystal, the SHG pulses with 104 fs width, 100.4 mW output power and 23.7% energy conversion efficiency can be obtained. For 1 mm crystal, the SHG pulses with 161 fs width,165.0 mW output power and 39% energy conversion efficiency can be obtained. For 10 mm crystal, the SHG pulses with 305 fs width, 185.5 mW output power and 43.7% energy conversion efficiency can be obtained. In addition, we explain how do energy conversion efficiency and pulse width of SHG pulses change with thickness of PPLN crystals. The experimental data provide a useful reference for the research of femtosecond optical pulses generated by mode-locked fiber laser at 780 nm band..

In this case, peak-detection algorithms are proposed to find the real-time position of center wavelength. Five peak-detection algorithms are analyzed and compared by simulations and experiments. The error of Gaussian nonlinear curve fitting algorithm is 0.15 pm, which is the lowest in all the test algorithms. The influence of power threshold value upon the five peak-detection algorithms is studied, and the importance of threshold optimization is clear and definite for reducing peak-detection errors. After threshold value optimization, the Gaussian nonlinear curve fitting algorithm performs the best, as its lowest error is 0.04 pm and the average error is 0.06 pm. Thus, Gaussian nonlinear curve fitting algorithm meets the requirement of calibration accuracy. By analyzing factors which cause error in the peak-detection algorithms, we find that the signal noise ratio turns out to be the major factor which dominates the errors of Gaussian nonlinear curve fitting algorithm. Therefore, noise suppression is the best way to achieve high overall accuracy of absolute wavelength calibration..

Its resonant frequency is exFor grating-feedback extended-cavity diode laser (ECDL) whose output frequency is susceptible to environmental interference, with two channel feedback loops for grating and injection current, the frequency stabilization system based on modulation-free polarization spectroscopy is optimized. Its resonant frequency is extended to 155 kHz. The laser frequency fluctuation caused by low frequency random disturbance under open loop is greatly suppressed. It can be suppressed to 1/13570 at 120 Hz. Now that laser frequency fluctuation near the atomic transition center frequency can be measured by use of the polarization spectra, and the acoustic response characteristics of ECDL are depicted experimentally with the analysis of laser frequency fluctuation and sound stimulant signal. By contrasting the acoustic response characteristics of ECDL with or without the soundproofing case, the sound insulating effect could be mapped directly. Experiment results show that sound insulating effect resulted from different frequency can deteriorate from 12.8 to 0.14. The measurement of insulating effect can also act as the experimental criteria for optimizing the design of laser mechanical structures and sound insulation systems. Furthermore,this system could be helpful for the development of acoustic precise measurement..

It does not need to add the absorbing medium between the two pieces of glass and does not need thermal treatment for the material. The welding of two pieces of fused silica is successfully achieved using the thermal accumulation effect of femtosecond laser pulses. In addition, the dependence of welding quality on laser repetition frequency and power is investigated. The welding zone of fused silica comprises three parts, e.g., the circular cavity on the top, the molten area in the middle and the linear damage structure at the bottom, and all the three parts make contributions to the welding strength of fused silica. The experiments show that with a laser repetition frequency of 500 kHz, the molten zone area increases with the increase of the laser power, but the welding strength increases first and then decreases. When the laser power keeps as 4.14 W, both molten zone area and welding strength decrease with the increase of laser repetition frequency. Furthermore, two pieces of aluminosilicate glass and soda-lime glass are also successfully welded and the welding end surface morphologies of the glass with different components are compared..

The plume of GAP is observed by the microscale plume observation system, and the influences of doping concentration, target thickness and laser ablation mode on GAP ablation characteristics and propulsion performance are analyzed. The results show that the utilization rate of absorber-undoped GAP is very low in the laser ablation process. The propulsion performance of GAP doped with nano-carbon powder is significantly improved, which is sensitive to the target thickness, and the thin GAP doped with nano-carbon powder is more suitable as the target of laser ablation micro-thruster in the transmission mode. The gasification of polymer doped with infrared dye is substantially improved and the plume is weakly affected by the target thickness in the transmission mode. The infrared dye is considered suitable as the polymer target of the laser ablation micro-thruster in the reflection mode..

The results show that SLM formed AlSi10Mg alloy has fine microstructure and high room temperature tensile properties, and the microstructure and strength show obvious anisotropy. The high cooling rate in SLM process refine the previous α-Al dendrites significantly, and the different solidification conditions in the core and boundary of melt pool can not only lead to different scales of α-Al dendrites, but determine the growth morphology of α-Al dendrites, which follows the law of epitaxial growth. Combination of the morphology and evolution of Al-Si eutectic structure of sample in different orientations, the anisotropy of microstructure is investigated. Furthermore, the strength of tensile samples along deposition (L) and scanning (T) directions is almost the same, while the elongation shows double relationship, so the different mechanical properties are due to its anisotropy of ductility. The SEM morphology of tensile fracture presents the crack mechanism, the size of the dimple, morphology of Al-Si eutectic structure and formation of micro cracks prove that the crack mode is intergranular fracture. The experimental results show that the microstructure and properties of SLM formed AiSi10Mg are higher than those of conventional cast components, which make SLM technology realizable in engineering application of typical components manufacturing in the field of aero engine control system..

The change laws of the weight increase and the microhardnesses of samples under different oxidation conditions are investigatedThe as-deposited and as-forged Ti60A titanium alloys are fabricated by the laser additive manufacturing technique, and the oxidation experiment under the temperature of 600-800 ℃ is conducted. The change laws of the weight increase and the microhardnesses of samples under different oxidation conditions are investigated. The results show that, the surface oxidation products of the as-deposited and as-forged Ti60A alloys mainly consist of TiO2 and Al2O3. The formation of the oxidation layers is caused by the combined action of the inward diffusion of the oxygen into the matrix and the outward diffusion of Al and Ti elements. Under the same experimental conditions, compared with those of the as-forged alloy, the weight increase of the as-deposited Ti60A alloy is smaller, the surface oxidation layer is thinner and denser, the diffusion depth of oxygen element is smaller, and the high-temperature oxidation resistance property is much better..

Temperature and strain response parameters of two kinds of FBGs, including Yb 3+doped fiber with SMF-28 fiber FBGs and Er∶Yb doped fiber with SMF-28 fiber FBGs, are measured, respectively. The results indicate that the Er∶Yb doped FBG has a great difference on temperature response parameter but a similar strain response parameter with the SMF-28 fiber FBG, so the Er∶Yb doped fiber with SMF-28 fiber FBGs can be used to realize the simultaneous sensing on temperature and strain measurement. After annealing at 800 ℃, the reflectivity of Er∶Yb doped fiber FBG with SMF-28 fiber FBG can maintain a long-term stability at 700 ℃. It can be used to realize the temperature-strain dual-parameter demodulation below 700 ℃.

Its phase separation, microhardness, corrosion resistance and magnetic properties are investigated. The results indicate that the particle size of Cu92Fe8 composite powder decreases significantly after ball milling, which consists of small amounts of body-centered cubic α-Fe and solid solution Cu. During the process of laser cladding, the supercooled Cu92Fe8 melt experiences liquid phase separation, and many spherical Fe-rich α-Fe particles are evenly embedded within the Cu-rich ε-Cu matrix. The microhardness of the self-assembled Cu92Fe8 immiscible composite coating is uniform and slightly higher than that of brass, and its corrosion resistance is slightly worse than that of brass, but its soft magnetic property is better..

An adaptive differential window filtering method based on local signal-to-noise ratio is proposed in order to detect the damage state of the element efficiently and accurately. By designing a window function which acts on pixels, the algorithm can judge the target point or background point according to the pixel value and the values of its neighborhood point. And then the segmentation of the seed image is completed. Finally, the damage segmentation is completed by the growth of the seed region. In order to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, we built an on-line detection simulation platform to obtain the damaged sample image, and the new method mentioned above is used to process the image. The results show that the average recognition rate of the method is above 99% for the damage points with the diameter above 50 μm, which meets the requirement of high-power laser drive system for the detection of small damage. Because the algorithm does not require setting the threshold of the seed image based on experience, it is more automated than the existing local signal-to-noise ratio algorithm..

By using TracePro to analyze the non-imaging characteristics of bionic compound eye of spherical surface, we find that the ratio of energy collection increases with the decrease of angle of the neighbor's eye axis when the area of detection surface is certain. When the included angle between adjacent optical axes is less than local optimal value, the energy collection rate is more than 90%, which is close to the optimum. There is a positive correlation between the local optimal value of the angle of the optical axis and the area of the detector. With the increase of angle of the neighbor's eye axis, the character of large field of vision (FOV) of bionic compound eye is gone. For the application of NLOS link of indoor visible light communication, the antenna gain can reach 56.45 and the angle of FOV is larger than 90°. Compared with the ordinary single-lens antenna, it is clear that the bionic compound eye multilevel coupling optical antenna can maintain a high light feeding power in the case of severe shading, and the average power is increased by 20 dBm. It also shows that the design of the optical antenna with large FOV and high gain characteristics can effectively improve the anti-shadowing performance of indoor visible light communication system..

However, a certain relationship can be used to transfer the height profile of aerosol backscattering coefficient detected by lidar to the height profile of PM2.5 mass concentration. The hygroscopic factor of aerosol is a key parameter in the process of transferring the profile of aerosol backscattering coefficient to that of PM2.5 mass concentration. The near ground height distribution profile of aerosol backscattering coefficient can be detected by the lidar system, while the PM2.5 mass concentration and atmospheric relative humidity are measured by PM2.5 monitor. The two instruments are placed at the same location and probed simultaneously to obtain the aerosol backscattering coefficient, PM2.5 mass concentration and atmospheric relative humidity at the same time. Under the guidance of the theory, the expression hygroscopic factor is calculated by fitting the related experimental data. By fitting the detection data aerosol backscattering coefficient, PM2.5 mass concentration and atmospheric relative humidity in Hefei area from May 2016 to October 2017, the change law of the hygroscopic factor between PM2.5 mass concentration and aerosol backscattering coefficient is obtained..

Based on the principle of optical system for laser tracking measurement, the energy model is established. The influence of non-ideal optical elements on the energy of optical system is analyzed by Zemax simulation. The simulation results show that the best interference pattern is obtained when the interference beam split ratio is 5∶5 and the tracking beam split ratio is 7∶3. In this situation, the interference signals from the four receivers have close energy, and the visibility of fringe pattern reaches 0.89. The visibility of fringe pattern of the four received interference signals will degrade when the reflectivity of polarization beam splitters is under non-ideal conditions. The non-ideal transmittance of the polarization beam splitters does not affect the visibility of fringe pattern. The research is useful for the laser tracking measurement system, mainly in terms of precision improvement, reliability evaluation, optical system design, and optical element selection..

The influence of pump power and pump pulse width on temporal coherence of parametric fluorescence is investigated using the two-time mutual coherence function in the presence of walk-off between the signal and idle. The numerical simulations show that a suitable pump power and a relatively short pump pulse width are very important to increase the temporal coherence of optical parametric fluorescence while a too high pump power or a relatively long pump pulse width can reduce the temporal coherence. Using the periodically poled lithium niobate crystal, the theoretical result is preliminarily proved experimentally..

The relationships between key generation rate, quality factor of detector and secure transmission distance are investigated. The performance comparison between the MDI-QKD protocol based on OCS and OAM and the MDI-QKD protocol based on WCS and OAM is compared. The simulation results show that the key generation rate decreases with the increase of secure transmission distance. The adoption of OCS makes up the deficiency of WCS and reduces the photon number greatly, while the adoption of OAM can solve the problem of the dependence defect of the base and increase the maximum secure transmission distance, which provides an important theoretical reference for the practical quantum key distribution protocol..

In order to achieve rBecause the amplitude of diffraction waves from the internal defects is weak and the depth information of the defects cannot be obtained by transmission bulk waves, it is still difficult to inspect the small internal defects of material by using laser ultrasonics (LU) in nondestructive conditions. In order to achieve remote nondestructive testing of internal tiny defects, we propose a double shadow method based on the LU reflected shear waves. By combining the advantages of the ultrasonic transmission method and the reflection echo-wave method, this method utilized the time of flight method to inspect the internal defects based on the twice attenuation effect of the defects on the reflected shear waves. The cross-correlation algorithm is used to calculate the time delay of the surface acoustic wave and the reflected shear wave, respectively. On basis of the accurate measurement of the distance between the pump and probe lasers, the distance between the two shadow positions and the thickness of the sample, the internal defect of 0.8 mm diameter is successfully detected by the double shadow method, and the depth position of the defect is measured. By comparing with the result of X-ray digital radiography imaging and the detection of conventional ultrasound transducers, the experimental results demonstrate that the LU method has the ability to inspect the internal tiny defects and locate the position of the defects accurately under nondestructive conditions..

The refractive index of thermo-optical material is dependent on temperature. The changes ofIn order to achieve a temperature sensor with a higher sensitivity, a theoretical model is proposed. The theoretical model is based on parity-time (PT) symmetry structure with a defect cavity composed of thermo-optical material. The refractive index of thermo-optical material is dependent on temperature. The changes of temperature will influence the transmittance of the defect mode in the structure. The transmittance spectra are calculated by the transfer matrix method. It is found that with the change of temperature, the transmittance value of the defect mode changes much larger than the location changes of the defect mode. Thus, the change of transmittance value with temperature is used for temperature sensing. Due to the unique gain amplification of the structure, the maximum sensitivity of the sensor is 6.82 dB·K
-1. and the detecting range can reach 44.4 K. Through the modulation of structural parameters, the sensor can work with high sensitivity in small temperature range, or with low sensitivity in big temperature range.

In order to solve this problem, we propose an improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to improve the recognition accuracy of the central wavelength. First, the overlapping spectra model is established by spectral shape multiplexing technology. Then, the temperature experiment system is built to get the overlapping spectral signals, and the weight factor and the learning factor in the PSO algorithm are improved. Finally, the proposed algorithm is used to optimize the parameters of the overlapping spectra model, and it is compared with the six optimization algorithms. Simulation result and experimental result show that the proposed algorithm has the characteristics of fast convergence speed, short running time and high wavelength recognition accuracy compared with the contrast algorithm, and the wavelength demodulation error is less than 1 pm, which verifies the effectiveness and feasibility of the algorithm..

Through the control software based on LabVIEW, the collinear DP-LIBS experiment system, CCD camera and three-dimensional mobile platform are effectively controlled. Image sharpness evaluation, the auto-focusing algorithm, and the three-dimensional mobile platform are combined to achieve sample auto-focusing function. The results show that the optimal interval between the two lasers is 0.55 μs. The stability of the atomic spectral line is higher than that of the ion line. The relative standard deviation of the spectral strength decreases from 16.7% to 6.7%. The quantitative analysis of the steel samples shows that the correlation coefficients of Cr and Mn measurements increase from 0.851 and 0.639 to 0.947 and 0.923, respectively. Overall, the auto-focusing system can improve signal stability and measurement accuracy..
