Abstract:This paper proposes a novel procedure of designing a power amplifier with broadband and high linearity, which is applied to acoustic optical modulator. Firstly, a transistor should be suitably chosen, here we accomplish the direct current (DC) simulation in order to get the right quiescent operating point under the platform Advanced Design System 2009 (ADS). Then some stability simulations and measurements were taken to make sure that the amplifier can be unconditionally stable. Finally, we carried out the load pull and source pull simulations to obtain the load and source impedances required, while executing the Harmonic Balance (HB) simulations to verify our design. &copy; 2012 IEEE.

Abstract:By conventional melting and quenching methods, 3Yb<inf>2</inf>O <inf>3</inf>-0.2Tm<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-xHo<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> (wt%, x = 0.2 &sim; 1.2) was doped into an easily fiberized tellurite glass with composition of 78TeO<inf>2</inf>-10ZnO-12Na<inf>2</inf>O (mol%) to form YTH-TZN78 glasses. Under 976 nm excitation, the direct sensitizing effect of Yb ions (Yb &rarr; Ho) and indirect sensitizing and self-depopulating effects of Tm ions (Yb &rarr; Tm &rarr; Ho) were found to present intense red upconversion emission at 657 nm (Red, Ho: ⁵F<inf>5</inf> &rarr; ⁵I <inf>8</inf>) and were responsible for the absence of the usually observed 484 nm emission (Blue, Tm:¹G<inf>4</inf> &rarr; ³H <inf>6</inf>). Regardless of the dopant concentration of Ho ions, the intensity of the red emission at 657 nm (Red, Ho: ⁵F<inf>5</inf> &rarr; ⁵I<inf>8</inf>) is about three times stronger than that of the green one at 543 nm (Green, Ho:⁵S<inf>2</inf> &rarr; ⁵I <inf>8</inf>). For this certain red emission at 657 nm, 0.4 wt% Ho <inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>-doped YTH-TZN78 glass was found to present the highest emission intensity and is therefore determined as a promising active tellurite glass for red fiber laser development. &copy; 2012 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:On-orbit spacecraft fault detection and diagnosis(FDD) problem nonlinear model always needs to deal with. It's also important to improve the accuracy of the methodology as far as possible. Radial basis function(RBF) neural network was firstly applied for compensation of modeling error in order to increase the accuracy of the scheme, a Lyapunov function was used to prove its property. The residual and threshold and fault detection time were got through nonlinear observer. Fault signal was reconstructed by using RBF network, and accordingly a learning FDD strategy was presented. Validations were respectively designed for characteristics of residual threshold, detection time and the ability of RBF for reconstruction. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract:The classic multi-image-based super-resolution (SR) methods typically take global motion pattern to produce one or multiple high-resolution (HR) versions from a set of low-resolution (LR) images. However, due to the influence of aliasing and noise, it is difficult to obtain highly accurate registration with sub-pixel accuracy. Moreover, in practical applications, the global motion pattern is rarely found in the real LR inputs. In this paper, to surmount or at least reduce the aforementioned problems, we develop a novel SR framework for video sequence by extending the traditional 2-dimentional (2D) normalized convolution (NC) to 3-dimentional (3D) case. In the proposed framework, to bypass explicit motion estimation, we estimate a target pixel by taking a weighted average of pixels from its neighborhood. We further up-scale the input video sequence in temporal dimension based on the extended 3D NC and hence more video frames can be generated. Fundamental experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed SR framework both quantitatively and perceptually. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:The characteristic absorption features of crystalline benzoic acid in 0.1-4.0 THz have been measured by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy experimentally. Three sharp and low-intensity peaks are observed in the lowest frequency range of 0.1-1.5 THz. In particular, the absorption peak at 0.63 THz is reported for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. Moreover, theoretical simulations have also been performed, and all measured terahertz absorption features are unambiguously assigned. Our calculations clearly show that the first three absorption features arise from translation motions of dimers held together by hydrogen bonds. &copy; 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:A multi-scatter propagation model based on Monte Carlo method is presented. This model can be applied to all the geometries, including coplanar or noncoplanar scenario. The mathematical description of this model is deduced. We obtain the spatial positions of photon with three Cartesian coordinates after each propagation step and the received judgment conditions. Employing a photon tracing technique, Monte Carlo simulation is performed to investigate the signal impulse response and the path loss. The results indicate that, when the off-axis angle increases, the amplitude of the impulse response decreases, while the path loss increases. In addition, it is observed that the pulse width increases with the off-axis angle. &copy; (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

Abstract:The low-transmittance elements required for a high power laser facility have stringent specifications about transmittance. To validate optic performance against specifications, a metrology system for transmittance is proposed. The system is composed of a laser source, an integrating sphere, a power meter, and four uncoated wedged glasses. A relative measurement method is adopted, which is that the surface reflectivity of uncoated glass is used as the reference to compare with the sample's transmittance. The systematic feature is that uncoated wedged glasses are applied to split and reflect beams, which not only avoid coating errors, but also make the two beam powers attenuate properly. Measurement results for a sample's transmittance are presented. Experiment and analysis show that the relative standard uncertainty (&sigma;T/T) of measurement is 0.424%. This system is available for large-aperture elements. &copy; 2012 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:An amplitude weighting method of forming a specific radiation pattern in far-field was proposed, which is different from the phase-array beamforming. The formula for calculating radiation amplitudes was derived in detail. Numerical results illustrated that radiation pattern with limited distribution can be closed in upon by increasing the number of elements, and it was indicated that the total number of elements can be determined in ratio of the main lobe energy to total radiation energy. &copy; Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.

Abstract:In this paper, based on the combination of two modified Savart polariscopes, we present a snapshot imaging polarimeter and show that the carrier frequency is two times higher than that of the snapshot imaging polarimeter using two conventional Savart polariscopes. The signal-to-noise ratio and the spatial resolution of imagery in each channel are improved due to the increase of the carrier frequency when we filter the channels to recover the Stokes vector images. Moreover, compared with conventional imaging polarimetry, the remarkable advantage of the proposed instrument is that it is also simple, compact, miniature, snapshotted, and static (no moving parts). To demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed snapshot imaging polarimeter, the numerical simulation of a design example is presented in detail. &copy; 2012 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:We investigated the ultrafast optical Kerr effect of tellurite glass (Te glass) by the femtosecond time-resolved pumpprobe technique. The Kerr-gated spectra from a chirped supercontinuum (SC) obtained by a Te glass optical Kerr gate (OKG) were of a narrow bandwidth and wide range of transmittance spectra. Time-resolved violet fluorescence of a ZnO thin film with high temporal resolution was measured using the Te glass OKG. Experimental results showed that Te glass was a good candidate for an OKG medium due to its ultrafast response, large transmittance window, and large nonlinear refractive index. &copy; 2012 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract:Channel estimation is one of the most significant technologies in the orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system and its accuracy will influence the performance of the whole system directly. Among all kinds of channel estimation algorithms, the least square(LS)estimation and the linear minimum mean-squared error (LMMSE) estimation are the most classic ones. However, both the two estimator are not able to reach a compromise between accuracy and computational complexity. The discrete Fourier transform (DFT) -based channel estimation can get a better performance by a time domain processing. In this paper, we proposed an improved DFT based channel estimation which suppresses the noise by a new threshold setting method. The computer simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can reach accuracy close to the LMMSE algorithm and its computational complexity is much lower than the LMMSE estimator. &copy; 2012.

Abstract:In a two-photon excitation fluorescence volume imaging (TPFVI) system, an axicon is used to generate a Bessel beam and at the same time to collect the generated fluorescence to achieve large depth of field. A slice-by-slice diffraction propagation model in the frame of the angular spectrum method is proposed to simulate the whole imaging process of TPFVI. The simulation reveals that the Bessel beam can penetrate deep in scattering media due to its self-reconstruction ability. The simulation also demonstrates that TPFVI can image a volume of interest in a single raster scan. Two-photon excitation is crucial to eliminate the signals that are generated by the side lobes of Bessel beams; the unwanted signals may be further suppressed by placing a spatial filter in the front of the detector. The simulation method will guide the system design in improving the performance of a TPFVI system. &copy; 2012 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:Position and orientation control for an omni-directional mobile robot are investigated. The table-placed robot shall be used for arm and shoulder rehabilitation of stroke patients. The position and orientation of the device are determined by means of a modified Kalman filter which encompasses a kinematic model of the robot. By fusing information from incremental encoders at the robot and from an infrared camera at the ceiling, accurate and reliable estimates of robot position and orientation can be obtained. A cascaded position controller is designed for the mobile robot to allow the tracking of arbitrary translational reference movements and the stabilisation of the robot orientation. On the inner control loop, individual angular velocity controllers have been implemented for the three wheels to achieve maximum actuator performance and to facilitate a simplified state-space description of the robot dynamics. For the outer loop, a multi-variable state-space controller is utilised in form of a discrete-time linear quadratic regulator. The sensor fusion scheme and control system are validated in experiments and the obtained results are discussed. &copy; 2012 IEEE.

Abstract:We show that incoherently coupled multicomponent beam evolution equations in the low-amplitude regime in biased photorefractive-photovoltaic crystals can exhibit the analytical solutions of multicomponent solitons, which are due to both the spatially nonuniform screening of the external electric field and the photovoltaic effect. These multicomponent solitons can be obtained for N self-trapped mutually incoherent optical beams, where N is an arbitrary whole number. When the photovoltaic effect is neglected, their nonlinear evolution equations change into that for multicomponent screening solitons, and these multicomponent solitons change into multicomponent screening solitons. When the external bias field is absent, their nonlinear evolution equations change into that for multicomponent photovoltaic solitons in closed and open circuits, and these multicomponent solitons change into multicomponent photovoltaic solitons in closed and open circuits. &copy; 2012 IEEE.

Abstract:Many human-centered image and video management systems depend on robust human detection. To extract robust features for human detection, this paper investigates the following shortcomings of co-occurrence histograms of oriented gradients (CoHOGs) which significantly limit its advantages: 1) The magnitudes of the gradients are discarded, and only the orientations are used; 2) the gradients are not smoothed, and thus, aliasing effect exists; and 3) the dimensionality of the CoHOG feature vector is very large (e.g., 200000). To deal with these problems, in this paper, we propose a framework that performs the following: 1) utilizes a novel gradient decomposition and combination strategy to make full use of the information of gradients; (2) adopts a two-stage gradient smoothing scheme to perform efficient gradient interpolation; and (3) employs incremental principal component analysis to reduce the large dimensionality of the CoHOG features. Experimental results on the two different human databases demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. &copy; 2006 IEEE.

Abstract:The choice of the over-complete dictionary that sparsely represents data is of prime importance for sparse coding-based image super-resolution. Sparse coding is a typical unsupervised learning method to generate an over-complete dictionary. However, most of the sparse coding methods for image super-resolution fail to simultaneously consider the geometrical structure of the dictionary and corresponding coefficients, which may result in noticeable super-resolution reconstruction artifacts. In this paper, a novel sparse coding method is proposed to preserve the geometrical structure of the dictionary and the sparse coefficients of the data. Moreover, the proposed method can preserve the incoherence of dictionary entries, which is critical for sparse representation. Inspired by the development on non-local self-similarity and manifold learning, the proposed sparse coding method can provide the sparse coefficients and learned dictionary from a new perspective, which have both reconstruction and discrimination properties to enhance the learning performance. Extensive experimental results on image super-resolution have demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed method. &copy; 2012 IEEE.

Abstract:Based on the push and pull approach, a kind of adaptive disseminating mechanism is presented, which combines push with pull, by which the system of emergency coordination center in urban rail transit line network can dynamically allocate the available resource between push and pull clients so as to optimize the sending time delay of data chunk in network given their desired currency. The major conclusion is the approach of combined push with pull can fit to stringent coherency requirements information and less stringent coherency requirements information. Also it can fit to information provided according to user's requirements. The approach can better meet the requirement of currency of information on urban rail transit line network. &copy; 2012 Springer-Verlag.

Abstract:Estimating missing values in visual data is a challenging problem in computer vision, which can be considered as a low rank matrix approximation problem. Most of the recent studies use the nuclear norm as a convex relaxation of the rank operator. However, by minimizing the nuclear norm, all the singular values are simultaneously minimized, and thus the rank can not be well approximated in practice. In this paper, we propose a novel matrix completion algorithm based on the Truncated Nuclear Norm Regularization (TNNR) by only minimizing the smallest N-r singular values, where N is the number of singular values and r is the rank of the matrix. In this way, the rank of the matrix can be better approximated than the nuclear norm. We further develop an efficient iterative procedure to solve the optimization problem by using the alternating direction method of multipliers and the accelerated proximal gradient line search method. Experimental results in a wide range of applications demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed approach. &copy; 2012 IEEE.

Abstract:Focusing properties of a new kind of plasmonic lenses are investigated in the visible wavelength range through a subwavelength metallic chirped slit arrays which have the same depth but chirped widths. The chirped widths of slits are like a piece-wise-linear distribution which will be approximated by linearly increasing the width of a subwavelength feature and can build up a required phase front for focusing. We analyzed the focusing characteristics of different metallic lenses (silver and gold, respectively) with chirped widths that are obtained by generalizing the relevant phase delay for TE- and TM-polarized incident waves, for different f-numbers of lenses and for different material thickness, respectively. Meanwhile, the comparison of the metallic and dielectric lenses is also presented. The results of calculations show that, the metallic lenses are more sensitive to the polarization of incidence wave than that of dielectric lenses, and can get narrower full-width half-maximum (FWHM) beam width than that of dielectric lenses for TM-polarized incident waves, respectively. No matter which f-number we choose, the FWHM of dielectric lenses are higher than the plasmonic lenses, and the plasmonic lenses can get a higher focal resolution than dielectric lenses do. This kind of plasmonic lenses should have a good potential for applications in photonic and plasmonic integrated devices, sensing, and nano-optical manipulations, etc. &copy; (2012) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

Abstract:Low timing-jitter, "&sigma;"-type passively mode-locked fiber laser is used as a high-performance optical sampling pulse source, of which the operation stability is high and the repetition frequency is tunable. Then the generated sequence of ultrashort optical sampling pulses is launched together with a 80 Gb/s optical pulse signal under test into a 100 m-long highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF). The all-optical sampling of an optical signal under test is realized by utilizing the four-wave mixing (FWM) in a HNLF. Consequently, the waveform of a 80 Gb/s optical pulse signal with RZ format is precisely reproduced by a computer and is displayed on its screen by employing our developed software for digital signal processing and computer image processing, respectively. Moreover, the optical sampling oscilloscope prototype is used to measure the pulse waveform and pulse width at the output of a commercially available, actively mode-locked semiconductor laser which produces optical pulses of 1.8 ps width (measured by an autocorrelator) at the 10 GHz repetition frequency. In the experiment, the pulse width measured by this oscilloscope prototype system is 2.0 ps. It is clearly shown that our developed optical sampling oscilloscope prototype has a temporal resolution better than 900 fs.

Abstract:The observation of an object traditionally relies on the scale of optical system and the resolution is often limited by the diameter of telescope. Based on the laser interference technology, we adopt a new signal sampling method with which we sample the spectrum information by laser beat frequency. The overlapped beams interfere together and generate a series of fringes across the target. Different spectrum components of target are sampled by fringes with different spatial frequency. Then we will reconstruct the target image through inverse Fourier Transform. This method break through the difficulty that observation resolution was limited by the scale of optical system. &copy; 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:We have proposed a metal-insulator-metal (MIM) waveguide system, which exhibits a significant slow-light effect, based on a plasmonic analogue of electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT). By appropriately adjusting the distance between the two stubs of a unit cell, a flat band corresponding to nearly constant group index over a broad bandwidth of 8.6 THz can be achieved. The analytical results show that the group velocity dispersion (GVD) parameter can reach zero and normalized delay-bandwidth product (NDBP) is more than 0.522. Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) simulations show that the incident pulse can be slowed down without distortion owing to the low dispersion. The proposed compact configuration can avoid the distortion of signal pulse, and thus may find potential applications in plasmonic slow-light systems, especially optical buffers. &copy; 2012 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:Developing reduced reference image quality assessment (RR-IQA) plays a vital role in dealing with the prediction of the visual quality of distorted images. However, most of existing methods fail to take color information into consideration, although the color distortion is significant for the increasing color images. To solve the aforementioned problem, this paper proposed a novel IQA method which focuses on the color distortion. In particular, we extract color features based on the model of color fractal structure. Then the color and structure features are mapped into visual quality using the support vector regression. Experimental results on the LIVE II database demonstrate that the proposed method has a good consistency with the human perception especially on images with color distortion. &copy; 2012 Springer-Verlag.

Abstract:In order to measure the high precision simultaneous angular velocity of MEMS gyroscope, ADXRS401, we designed a stable and available simultaneous serial data acquisition system, which is mainly built based on TMS320F2812, DSP chip of TI, and AD7898, AD converter of ADI. AD7898 could convert analog signal to digital signal and transfer the collected data to TMS320F2812 by the serial port-Multichannel Buffered Serial PORT (McBSP). After the pretreatment of TMS320F2812, the collected data would be transferred to the PC by the module of wireless transmission. At last, the PC could draw the waveform graph of the collected data and calculate the minimum and maximum value. We could easily estimate the designed system good or not. After the joint debug of software and hardware, we could make it better meet the design requirements. The design of hardware interface circuits, design of software procedures, and debug of hardware and software etc. are described in this paper. &copy; 2012 Huazhong Univ of Sci &amp; Tec.

Abstract:We proposed a fiber-based quantum clock synchronization protocol by employing the dispersion cancellation feature of the frequency anti-correlated entangled source under the quantum interference measurement. It is shown that, the accuracy of the synchronization is mainly dependent on the bandwidth of the frequency entangled biphoton spectrum and on the temperature variation induced fluctuations in both the reference fiber coiling and the fiber link. With this proposal, synchronization between two clocks at a distance of ten kilometers can be implemented with an accuracy below a picosecond. &copy; 2012 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:We study defect modes in optically induced one-dimensional lattices in photovoltaic-photorefractive crystals. These defect modes exist in different bandgaps due to the change of defect intensity. For a positive defect, defect mode branches exist not only in the semi-infinite bandgap, but also in the first and second bandgaps. When the defect mode branch is fixed, the confinement of defect modes increases with the defect strength parameter. For a negative defect, defect mode branches exist only in the first and second bandgaps. For a given defect mode branch, the strongest confinement of the defect modes appears when the lattice intensity at the defect site is not the smallest in its branch. On the other hand, when the defect strength parameter is fixed, the most localized defect modes arise in the semi-infinite bandgap for the positive defect and in the first bandgap for the negative defect. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:Novel Yb³⁺-doped TeO<inf>2</inf>-ZnO-Nb<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf> based tellurite glasses with high stimulated emission cross-section were prepared by melt-quenching method, and their spectroscopic and gain properties were investigated by means of absorption spectrum, fluorescence decay curve and fluorescence emission spectrum. The results show that the stimulated emission cross-section of the Pb²⁺-doped glass increases with the increase of PbF<inf>2</inf> concentration. Toward the samples with co-existence of Pb ²⁺ and Zr⁴⁺ ions, the stimulated emission cross-sections achieve 1.42 pm² and 1.48 pm² when PbF<inf>2</inf> concentrations are 2 mol% and 6 mol%, respectively. All these indicate that the Yb³⁺-doped TeO<inf>2</inf>-ZnO-Nb<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf>-PbF <inf>2</inf>-ZrF<inf>4</inf> glasses are a good candidate working as an active laser media for solid lasers. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:A practical technique based on the phase-conjugate wave (PCW) generation is proposed to improve the temporal contrast of the picosecond pulses. Our theory predicts the temporal contrast of the picosecond pulses can be enhancedto about the cube of the temporal contrastof the input pulse via the PCW generation,in which the conversion efficiency from the incident pulse to the PCW is about 25%. In a proof-of-principle experiment, the temporal contrast of picosecond pulses was enhanced from 1.7 &times; 10³ to 8.6 &times; 10⁸ with the conversion efficiency of 10%. This technique is promising to effectively eliminate the background of the ultrashort and ultraintense laser pulses in the future. &copy; 2012 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:Terahertz spectra of glucose and fructose have been measured by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) at room temperature. Because they have the same molecular formula, the differences of the THz spectra can be attributed to their molecular structures and the arrangement of molecules in unit cell. In this paper, gaseous-state theory has been employed to simulate the isolated molecule of these two isomers. The results indicate that experimental THz spectral features (0.5 - 4.0 THz) of glucose and fructose arise from the mixture of intramolecular and intermolecular modes, involving hydrogen bonds and covalent bonds, and with the intermolecular modes dominating. &copy; 2011 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:We present the observation of incoherent anti-dark photovoltaic solitons in LiNbO<inf>3</inf>:Fe crystal. This new class of soliton states involves bright photovoltaic solitons on a background beam meeting &kappa; &gt; 1, where &kappa; is the ratio of background illumination photovoltaic constant to that of soliton beam. For &kappa; &lt; 1, dark photovoltaic solitons are generated. Furthermore, this novel type solitons are investigated experimentally by injecting coherent light and partially coherent background of infinite extent. In case of spatial coherence of the background lower than the threshold of incoherent modulation instability, these results indicate that bright photovoltaic solitons can propagate in a stable fashion. &copy; Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2012.

Abstract:The quality of bubble image is determined by the efficiency of underwater optical system in ship wake detection, while the illuminating source is an important factor that affects the performance of the underwater imaging system. A new sheet laser source is proposed in order to solve the problem, and the utilization rate and feasibility are analyzed and proved. The test results show that the new illuminating source can not only solve the lighting of the imaging system, but also avoid excess images overlapping within the depth region of the optical field. The proposed light source creates significant terms for acquiring the parameters of the bubble curtain. This new design can be used in under-water optical systems because of its unique advantages.

The two humps of the dipoles will repel each other if attraction between them is smaller than repulsion, while if the former is larger than the latter, they attract. If there is phase gradient on the input dipoles or the energy distribution of the dipoles does not along the boundary directions of the medium, the dipoles will exhibit incomplete rotation during propagation. &copy; 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:Employing a method of in-situ control we propose an approach for the optimization of self-arranged nanogratings in bulk fused silica under the action of ultrashort laser pulses with programmable time envelopes. A parametric study of the influence of the pulse duration and temporal form asymmetries is given. Using the diffraction properties of the laser-triggered subwavelength patterns we monitor and regulate the period and the quality of the periodic nanoscale arrangement via the effective nonlinear excitation dose. Periodicity tuning on tens of nanometers can be achieved by pulse temporal variations, with a minimum around 0.7 ps at the chosen powers. Equally, strong sensitivity to pulse asymmetries is observed. The driving factor is related to increasing carrier densities due to nonlinear confinement and the development of extended nanoroughness domains upon multiple exposure, creating a pulse-dependent effective accumulation dose via a morpho-dimensional effect. The result may impact the associated optical functions. &copy; 2012 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:We present a theoretical model to study the static pressure distribution among the layers of an optical fiber cable spool based on the force analysis of the cable system. Using the distributed fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensing technique, the static pressures within the fiber cable layers of the spool were measured according to the Bragg wavelength shifts of the FBGs embedded in the cable. The effects of the cable spool shrinkage owing to the pressure from outer fiber cable layers on the cable tension and the radial pressure were analyzed in detail. As a result, the relationship between the static pressure upon the fiber and the resulted Bragg wavelength shift of the FBG was deduced. The static pressure distribution of the fiber optical cable spool is obtained both in theory and experiment. Theoretical simulations coincide with experimental results. This technology provides us a real-time method to monitor the inner pressure among the fiber cable layers during the optical cable winding process. &copy; 2011 Copyright Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Abstract:We have numerically simulated the operation of the Fourier-domain mode-locked (FDML) fiber laser based on the wavelength reconstruction method instead of numerical solving the nonlinear Schro&die;dinger equation. We studied the influences of the filter bandwidth and the relative time delay caused by the fiber chromatic dispersion on the instantaneous linewidth of the FDML fiber laser. The results show that the instantaneous linewidth broadens as the filter bandwidth and the relative time delay increase. When the filter has the bandwidth of 0.02 nm, the narrowest and broadest instantaneous linewidths are 0.024 and 0.042 nm, respectively. We give an understanding for the oscillation of the instantaneous linewidth of FDML. The presented result can be used to evaluate the performance achievable in the FDML fiber lasers. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:We experimentally realize a robust real-time random number generator by differentially comparing the signal from a chaoticsemiconductor laser and its delayed signal through a 1-bit analog-to-digital converter. The probability density distribution of the output chaotic signal based on the differential comparison method possesses an extremely smallcoefficient of Pearson's median skewness (1.5 &times; 10 -6), which can yield a balanced random sequence much easily than the previously reported method that compares the signal from the chaotic laser with a certain threshold value. Moveover, we experimently demonstrate that our method can stably generate good random numbers at rates of 1.44 Gbit/s with excellent immunity from external perturbations while the previously reported method fails. &copy; 2012 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:A stable amplitude squeezed-state light was generated by utilizing the nondegenerate optical parametric amplifier based on periodically poled KTiOPO<inf>4</inf> crystal at 1064 nm. We observed -4.93 dB of squeezing with a local oscillator phase locked in homodyne measurement. The imaging experiments of the resolution target have shown that the imaging resolution, which was based on squeezed-state light, is 1.41 times as much as the resolution that was acquired using coherent light as light source. In addition, the squeezed-state light was applied for imaging of the virtual object. It was found that the characters on the board were much more easily discerned with squeezed light as a light source than with coherent light. This result paves the way for further improvements of imaging resolution by use of the squeezed-state light. &copy; 2012 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Abstract:To solve the nonlinear filtering problem in the Bearings-Only Tracking (BOT), an improved particle filter with fine resampling is proposed, called as PF-FR (Particle Filter with Fine Resampling).

Abstract:An erbium doped fiber ring laser achieving soliton mode locking by the use of an intra-cavity all-fiber polarization interference filter (AFPIF) has been demonstrated. To incorporate an AFPIF with relative narrow transmission bandwidth, the laser has produced clean soliton pulses of 1.2 ps duration at a repetition rate of 14.98 MHz with a polarization extinction ratio up to 25.7 dB. Moreover, we have demonstrated that the operating wavelength of the mode locking laser can be tuned over 20 nm range from 1545 to 1565 nm by thermally tuning the AFPIF cavity. &copy; 2012 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:Robust reversible watermarking (RRW) methods are popular in multimedia for protecting copyright, while preserving intactness of host images and providing robustness against unintentional attacks. However, conventional RRW methods are not readily applicable in practice. That is mainly because: 1) they fail to offer satisfactory reversibility on large-scale image datasets; 2) they have limited robustness in extracting watermarks from the watermarked images destroyed by different unintentional attacks; and 3) some of them suffer from extremely poor invisibility for watermarked images. Therefore, it is necessary to have a framework to address these three problems, and further improve its performance. This paper presents a novel pragmatic framework, wavelet-domain statistical quantity histogram shifting and clustering (WSQH-SC). Compared with conventional methods, WSQH-SC ingeniously constructs new watermark embedding and extraction procedures by histogram shifting and clustering, which are important for improving robustness and reducing run-time complexity. Additionally, WSQH-SC includes the property-inspired pixel adjustment to effectively handle overflow and underflow of pixels. This results in satisfactory reversibility and invisibility. Furthermore, to increase its practical applicability, WSQH-SC designs an enhanced pixel-wise masking to balance robustness and invisibility. We perform extensive experiments over natural, medical, and synthetic aperture radar images to show the effectiveness of WSQH-SC by comparing with the histogram rotation-based and histogram distribution constrained methods. &copy; 1992-2012 IEEE.

Abstract:In this paper, pulse broadening caused by atmospheric dispersion is analyzed, which is the key factor in high-speed and long-distance free space laser communication systems according to our simulation. The measured datum of atmospheric parameters, including atmospheric pressure and atmospheric temperature of the desert in Xinjiang, China, is used in the analysis of pulses broadening. The pulse broadening caused by atmospheric dispersion is very significant when pulsewidth is on the order of 5 ps, and pulse broadening is negligible if the pulsewidth is larger than 20 ps. With the increment of optical wavelength, atmospheric dispersion-induced pulse broadening is mitigated. The received pulsewidth is dominated mainly by dispersion-induced pulse broadening at small duty ratio of original signal, and original pulsewidth at large duty ratio of original signal respectively. By selecting proper duty ratio of optical pulse, the received pulsewidth can be minimized and the system bit rate can be maximized. &copy; 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:A series of neodymium complexes, Nd(CF<inf>3</inf>COO)<inf>3</inf>&middotDipy, Nd(C<inf>2</inf>F<inf>5</inf>COO)<inf>3</inf>&middotDipy and Nd(C<inf>3</inf>F<inf>7</inf>COO)<inf>3</inf>&middotDipy were synthesized and characterized by FTIR spectra, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectra and PL spectra. The decomposition temperature was found to be more than 260&deg;C and maximum weight losses rates above 340&deg;C which indicate that they have good thermal stability. The low vibrational energy C-F bonds were used to replace the C-H bonds in organic group for improving the optical properties of materials. The length of carbon chain and the coordination structure of Nd(III) affect the absorption transition strength. According to the UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectra, the Judd-Ofelt parameters were calculated and the radiative properties were also presented. The stimulated emission cross-sections of the Nd(CF<inf>3</inf>COO)<inf>3</inf>&middotDipy, Nd(C<inf>2</inf>F<inf>5</inf>COO)<inf>3</inf>&middotDipy and Nd(C<inf>3</inf>F<inf>7</inf>COO)<inf>3</inf>&middotDipy were 3.63&times;10^-20, 2.36&times;10^-20 and 1.49&times;10^-20 cm² respectively, which were as good as some reported inorganic materials. These complexes will be a series of promising materials for liquid laser application.

Abstract:The formation and evolution of dual-wavelength solitons in passively mode-locked fiber soliton lasers are investigated both numerically and experimentally. By solving the Ginzburg-Landau equation and taking the gain profile into account, mode-locked soliton emissions at 1532 and 1555 nm are achieved simultaneously. Numerical results show that the two solitons exhibit the same intensity and duration, indicating that the dual-wavelength pulses possess the soliton energy quantization effect. In the process of pulse-pulse collisions, two solitons pass through each other and maintain their properties, qualitatively distinct from single-wavelength solitons that never overlap each other. The dual-wavelength mode-locked operation evolves into single-wavelength mode locking with the decrease of the pumping strength. The dual-peak gain spectrum of erbium-doped fiber and the birefringence-induced cavity filtering effect play crucial roles in the formation of dual-wavelength solitons. Numerical results agree well with analytical solutions and experimental observations. Our study provides an optional method of measuring the fiber dispersion by means of the dual-wavelength solitons. &copy; 2012 Optical Society of America.
