In short-distance applications, although directly modulated lasers have the advantages of low cost and low power consumption, the modulation bandwidth and transmission distance are limited by the relaxation oscillation frequency and frequency chirp. On the other hand, an electroabsorption modulated laser (EML) exhibits wide modulation bandwidth and low frequency chirp, thus allowing transmission with higher bit-rate and over longer distance. In this paper, the integration schemes and device structure of EML integrated light source are discussed. Recent progress in high-speed, high power, and low cost EML devices is summarized. Finally, a prospect for future development of EML is presented..

MoreoveTwo-dimensional transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDC) have unique advantages and can be used as gain materials for laser emission. The strong Coulomb interaction and weak dielectric screening effect of TMDC materials induce a large exciton binding energy to achieve stable exciton emission at room temperature. Moreover, TMDC can extensively increase the capability of light confinement owing to its high refractive index of up to 6--7. The atomic layer surface of TMDC materials has no dangling bonds, so they can avoid lattice mismatch when connected with silicon-based semiconductor devices. These unique properties render TMDC as potential gain materials that can be coupled with silicon-based microcavities to form laser devices. Furthermore, their atomic thickness and near-infrared spectral radiation ensure promising interconnection with integrated devices. This study summarizes the research progress of lasers based on TMDCs in recent years with the classification of optical microcavities and laser principles. Moreover, current challenges and their future application prospects are also discussed..

It is found that the optical field leakage can be evidently suppressed by increasing the thickness of the AlGaN cladding layer or the indium content of the InGaN upper waveguide layer. Moreover, compared with LDs with In0.02Ga0.98N UWG, the LDs with a higher indium content of In0.05Ga0.95N UWG perform better because of the larger optical confinement factor.

Generation of Two-Channel Broadband Optical Frequency Comb Using Gain-Switched 850 nm-VCSEL Under Orthogonal Optical Injection
Fan Li, Zheng Xiaomei, Xia Guangqiong, and Wu Zhengmao
In this study, we propose a scheme to generate tunable and broadband two-channel optical frequency comb (OFC) based on a gain-switched 850 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (850 nm-VCSEL) under orthogonal optical injection. In addition, the influences of some operation parameters on the performances of the geneIn this study, we propose a scheme to generate tunable and broadband two-channel optical frequency comb (OFC) based on a gain-switched 850 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (850 nm-VCSEL) under orthogonal optical injection. In addition, the influences of some operation parameters on the performances of the generated OFC are numerically investigated. For developing this scheme, an 850 nm-VCSEL is modulated using a large signal current and is subsequently driven into a gain-switching state. In this case, the Y polarization component of the laser oscillates and behaves in a periodic pulse state, whereas the X polarization component is suppressed. Therefore, a one-channel OFC is generated in the Y polarization direction (Y-OFC). The X polarization component of the gain-switched 850 nm-VCSEL can be oscillated to achieve a periodic pulse state with a spectral intensity equivalent to that of the Y polarization component by introducing optical injection polarizing along the X direction (orthogonal optical injection). Thus, a two-channel OFC can be obtained. The simulated results are obtained based on an 850 nm-VCSEL under current modulation with a modulation depth of m=0.75 and a modulation frequency of fm=4.2 GHz as well as orthogonal optical injection with frequency detuning of Δv=10.0 GHz; these results indicate that a two-channel OFC having bandwidths of greater than 105.0 GHz with an amplitude variation of less than 10 dB can be obtained under the optimized injected field amplitude Einj. Subsequently, the ranges of Einj and Δv are determined by examining the optical spectra of the X and Y polarization component outputs obtained from the gain-switched 850 nm-VCSEL subjected to orthogonal optical injection for obtaining a two-channel OFC. Finally, the tunability of comb spacing is demonstrated by analyzing the OFC performance under different values of fm..

In this study, the epitaxial growth temperature of the p-AlGaN cladding layer of blue lasers is optimized to suppress the thermal degradation of the quantum wells (QWs) and QW structures are optimized to improve the carrier distribution to achieve high-power blue lasers. Upon varying the front facet-coating reflectivity, the internal optical loss and carrier injection efficiency are deduced to be 6.8 cm -1 and 90%, respectively. Under pulsed operations, the threshold current density of the blue lasers is 1 kA/cm 2 and the efficiency gradient is 1.65 W/A. Thus, the expected output power is 4 W at a current density of 6 kA/cm 2. Under continuous-wave operations, the threshold current density of the blue lasers is 1 kA/cm 2 and the efficiency gradient drops to 1 W/A for poor packaging heat dissipation perform. Thus, the output power reaches 2.2 W at a current density of 6 kA/cm 2..

To address this problem, a new structure for a poly-silicon light-emitting device is proposed in this paper. The possible avalanche modes (interband transition, bremsstrahlung, intraband transition of holes between light and heavy mass bands, ionization under high-field conditions, and indirect interband reorganization) of the device under reverse bias voltage are studied. The mechanism is analyzed theoretically; moreover, the drift and diffusion of holes and electrons inside the device under reverse bias voltage are studied, which reveals that carrier injection increases the number of carriers involved in the avalanche multiplication process and can lead to an increase in the impact ionization rate. Furthermore, the electric field, spectrum, current, and light intensity of the device are analyzed. The quantum efficiency and photoelectric conversion efficiency are calculated; it is concluded that the impact ionization rate is improved by the carrier injection. The improvement in the device''s luminous efficiency is achieved by the improvement in the impact ionization rate, for which the quantum efficiency is 5.9×10 -5 and photoelectric conversion efficiency is 4.3×10 -6..

The coupled RF signal generated using a cheap signal source can be used to replace the expensive and high-frequency signal sources, thereby reducing the cost of OFC generators. The theoretical model of OFC generated using various coupled RF signals is established, and the scheme is verified using OptiSystem 13.0. The effects of the modulating voltages of upper and lower arms of MZM, output frequency of the RF signal source, and coupling mode on the comb number, power flatness, and frequency interval are analyzed. Simulation results indicate that for 5-GHz output RF signal and 4 times multiplicative-couple, OFC with frequency interval of 10 GHz, comb line number of 7, and power flatness of 1.88 dB can be obtained. Moreover, the proposed scheme can generate OFC with additional comb-lines, better flatness, and lower cost compared with the same frequency interval OFC generation scheme based on a single MZM. The proposed scheme provides guiding significance for the design of low-cost and high-performance OFC generators..

Simulation results demonstrate that, because of the self-healing properties of Airy pulse, the output supercontinuum generated by the double Airy pulses bound-state is wider and flatter than that generated by the bound state of double Gaussian pulses bound state. The influence of sub-pulse interval of the double pulses bound-state on supercontinuum generation is studied. It is found that when the sub-pulse interval increases, the spectrum widens first, then narrower, and finally remains unchanged. It is shown that there is an optimal sub-pulse interval to produce the widest supercontinuum, which is of great significance to select the appropriate sub-pulse interval of the double pulses bound-state and optimize the supercontinuum.

A lap joint is applied with a magnesium alloy sheet on the top and an aluminum alloy sheet at the bottom. The interlayer element is selected based on the calculations of thermodynamic properties and mechanical properties calculations. Finally, the effects of Ni interlayer on the microstructure and properties of fusion welded joints are studied. Results show that the surface of the joint with an Ni interlayer exhibits a regular fish scale, the weld has good formability, and the maximum shear strength (linear load) of the joint is 78.92 N/mm under laser power of 1450 W, a welding speed of 1200 mm/min, a laser head deflection angle of 20°, a defocus amount of 0 mm, and side blowing and back protection using the Ar protective gas. The Ni interlayer foil acts as a barrier to limit the upward diffusion of the Al element in the lower aluminum alloy liquid into the upper magnesium alloy molten pool; therefore, the formation of brittle Mg-Al compounds is reduced. In addition, the reaction of Ni and Al in the molten pool region of alloys joint to form ductile AlNi and Al3Ni compounds, AlNi and Al3Ni compounds have better ductility, and their structures are more stable than those of Mg-Al compounds, implying that the joint brittleness is reduced. The above synergistic effect is an important reason why adding Ni interlayer improves the shear performance of welded joints of magnesium/aluminum alloys..

Numerical simulation results show that the droplets above and below the keyhole that fall into the molten pool have a greater influence on the morphology fluctuation of the keyhole. Larger droplets increase the keyhole depth fluctuation. After a droplet with a radius of 0.9 mm enters the molten pool, the tendency of the liquid metal on the front wall of the keyhole to flow from the top to the bottom of the molten pool is increased, and a downward flow trend is observed near the bottom of the keyhole. The flow trend before a droplet enters the molten pool is diametrically opposite. After a droplet with a radius of 0.6 mm enters the molten pool, the liquid metal flow trend in the front wall of the keyhole is more complicated, the upper part of the front wall of the keyhole has a tendency to flow from the surface to the bottom of the molten pool. The flow trend from left to right in the middle of the front wall of the keyhole and a trend from the bottom of the molten pool to the top of the bottom of the keyhole occurs。.

Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Image Classification Based on Local Reconstruction Fisher Analysis
Liu Jiamin, Yang Song, and Huang Hong
Local geometric structure Fisher analysis (LGSFA) utilizes neighbor points and corresponding reconstructions to determine the intrinsic manifold structure of hyperspectral data, and it can improve the classification accuracy of hyperspectral image (HSI). However, LGSFA uses original sample and reconstruction points to Local geometric structure Fisher analysis (LGSFA) utilizes neighbor points and corresponding reconstructions to determine the intrinsic manifold structure of hyperspectral data, and it can improve the classification accuracy of hyperspectral image (HSI). However, LGSFA uses original sample and reconstruction points to construct graphs together, which cannot effectively preserve the global structure of nonlinear manifolds in low-dimensional spaces. To address this issue, this paper proposes a local reconstruction Fisher analysis (LRFA) method for HSI classification. The proposed method first reconstructs each data point from its intraclass neighbors to learn the global structure of manifolds. Then, intrinsic graph and penalty graph are constructed based on these reconstructions. In the low-dimensional space, the intraclass compactness and the interclass separability are improved by minimizing the intraclass distance and maximizing the interclass distance, respectively. Thus, the distinction in features is enhanced for HSI classification. Experimental results on the Pavia University and Urban datasets prove the effectiveness of the proposed method. Compared with other state-of-art methods, the proposed method achieves higher classification accuracy. When 1% of samples are randomly selected for training, the overall accuracy of 86.07% and 83.77% are obtained and increased by 7.84 percentage points and 1.27 percentage points, respectively, in comparison with the results of LGSFA..

An empirical method for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sea significant wave height (SWH) inversion based on the extreme learning machine (ELM) model is proposed in this study. Spatial-temporal-matched ENVISAT ASAR image and ECMWF reanalysis sea SWH dataset are collected and analyzed to establish the empirical method. TAn empirical method for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sea significant wave height (SWH) inversion based on the extreme learning machine (ELM) model is proposed in this study. Spatial-temporal-matched ENVISAT ASAR image and ECMWF reanalysis sea SWH dataset are collected and analyzed to establish the empirical method. Two cases of mass- and less-matched datasets are used to investigate the capability of the ELM model to establish the empirical relationship from the SAR image parameters to wave SWH parameters. In addition, the CWAVE method is compared with established empirical method as a reference. Results show that the training precision of empirical method is 0.87 in the case of mass-matched dataset, which is slightly worse than that of the CWAVE algorithm (0.91). However, in terms of the method training efficiency, the empirical method (0.022 s) behaves better than the CWAVE algorithm (0.514 s). Moreover, in the case of less-matched dataset, the training accuracy of empirical method is 0.59 and its training efficiency is 0.008 s, which is much better than the CWAVE algorithm (-0.38 and 0.318 s), revealing that the ELM-based empirical method can achieve high retrieval precision of SAR wave SWH results under less-matched dataset..

In this study, an airborne HSRL was developed to observe the optical characteristics of aerosols and lidar was used for performing airborne observation experiments. Herein, the aerosol optical parameter inversion algorithm was improved accordingly. The experimental data of different flight areas and different flights were selected for inversion. Subsequently, the aerosol characteristics were analyzed by combining the solar photometer, hybrid single-particle Lagrangian integrated trajectory model, and satellite data. The analysis results denote obvious differences among the values of the aerosol optical parameters in different regions. The aerosol extinction coefficient exceeds 1.2 km -1 in areas with frequent human activities such as towns and factories.The lidar ratio varies significantly with the altitude, and its maximum value is 60 sr. The aerosol optical depth is concentrated between 0.7 and 1 in the altitude from 0 to 3 km. In mountainous and marine areas, the aerosol extinction coefficient is concentrated in the range of 0.2 to 0.8 km -1; further, the lidar ratio varies only slightly with the altitude and is concentrated between 5 and 30 sr. The aerosol optical thickness is concentrated between 0.3 and 0.7 in the interval from 0 to 3 km. Furthermore, the aerosol distribution is affected by the meteorological conditions, such as the wind and weather conditions, as well as the pollution processes; the optical characteristics of the aerosols in the same area on different dates are affected by various factors, including the movement and diffusion of atmospheric pollutants..
