Abstract:A theoretical model for calculating the diffraction efficiency kinetics of the grating recorded by two parallel circular polarized recording beams was proposed, based on Jones-matrix and photochromic two-state theory. The diffraction efficiency of bacteriorhodopsin grating was measured by system of four-wave coupled light path. The theoreical analysis and the experimental results show that, in the condition of adding linearly polarized auxiliary violet light, when linearly polarized reconstruction light parallel with linearly polarized auxiliary violet light, the diffraction efficiency of bacteriorhodopsin grating is maximum; when linearly polarized reconstruction light perpendicular to linearly polarized auxiliary violet light, the diffraction efficiency of bacteriorhodopsin grating is minimum. The angle between linearly polarized reconstruction light and linearly polarized auxiliary violet light produces a cosine modulation on the kinetics of the diffraction efficiency. It indicates that parallel circular polarization recorded grating in bacteriorhodopsin induced by polarized violet light became polarizing grating. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:High accuracy star map identification results are the basis of astronomical positioning. The traditional triangle star identification algorithm has a higher redundancy and a poor robustness to noise. Considering the specific requirements of the star map identification of the astronomical camera, in allusion to this default, proceeding with selection of guide stars, construction of guide star catalogue and realization of matching algorithm, a modified triangle algorithm based on traditional one is presented. With the proposed algorithm, the guide star is selected from astronomical durchmusterung. In order to speed up guide star indexing, the guide star catalogue is founded after dividing the sky using the overlapping rectangle method. The guide star sub-catalogue is constructed by the radius of guide triangle circumcircle and the two sides of guide triangle. The characteristic radius is used for indexing and sorted in an ascending order to improve the searching efficiency in the processing of star map identification. The matching scope of the angular distance is narrowed and the matching rate of angular distance is improved by the matching of the characteristics radius. If there exists redundancy, a normalized magnitude is used to eliminate it. Within the observing area of the real sky, the 1050 star maps continuously are calculated. The simulation results show that, the identification rate of this algorithm is greater than 97. 83% when the noise of position error is two pixels, and the average identification time is about 25. 07ms. Compared with the traditional triangle algorithm, this modified algorithm has a couple of advantages, including the smaller storage capacity of guide star catalogue, better robustness to position and magnitude error, higher rate of correcting star map identification and lower redundancy. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:In a fluorescent nano-resolution microscope based on single molecular localization, drift of focal plane will bring an additional deviation to the accuracy of single molecular localization. Consequently, this will reduce the final resolution of the reconstructed image and cause image degradation. Therefore, it is vital to control the system drift to a minimum level as much as possible. In recent years, the anti-drift ways emerged in endlessly. In this paper we made a systematic study aiming at the method in which optical measurement and negative feedback control are used. The basic principle and its implementation of the system are analyzed, and possible error is also evaluated. Finally, the precision of the system is tested experimentally. With this device, axial drift can be detected and corrected automatically in time, and the axial anti-drift accuracy as high as 9.93 nm can be achieved, which is one order higher than that of the existing commercial microscopies. &copy; 2015 Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract:In order to detect and track multiple small targets in low SNR environment, Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD) filter is proposed to solve the problem. When using the PHD filter to track small moving targets in space, the influence of measurement noise may be catastrophic. Measurement noise affects the calculation of particle weights, which results in the estimation error of targets number. This article brings in the concept of smoothing and combines it with PHD filter. When update particle weights, forward recursion and backward smoothing are both used. And at some extent, the influence of measurement noise is weakened. Finally through experiments, compared with standard PHD filter, the algorithm proposed in this article is found to be more accurate in targets number and state estimation.

Abstract:Freehand 3-D ultrasound (US) produces 3-D volume data of anatomical objects from a sequence of irregularly located 2-D B-mode US images (B-scans). In 3-D US, the voxel intensities are calculated by interpolating those pixels from raw B-scans. Current interpolation algorithms do not consider sparsity of the raw data and are time consuming in computation. In this paper, we aim to perform the 3-D reconstruction of freehand US with sparse raw data in a more efficient manner. A novel interpolation algorithm takes advantage of Bezier curves. A single sweep of raw B-scans is collected, and the third-order Bezier curves are employed for approximating the voxels located in a control window. In in vitro and in vivo experiments, a fetus phantom and a subject's forearm were scanned using the freehand 3-D US system and reconstructed using the proposed Bezier interpolation algorithm and three popular interpolation algorithms, respectively. The results showed that the proposed algorithm significantly outperformed the other three algorithms when the raw B-scans were relatively sparse and the interpolation error in gray level can be reduced by 0.515.07. The speed for 3-D reconstruction can be improved by 90.697.2 because a single third-order Bezier curve using four control points (i.e., the pixel points) is able to estimate more than four voxels, whereas the estimation of a voxel value often requires a number of pixels in conventional techniques. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:As key components of the optical system of the space optical remote sensor, Space mirrors' surface accuracy had a direct impact that could't be ignored of the imaging quality of the remote sensor. In the future, large-diameter mirror would become an important trend in the development of space optical technology. However, a sharp increase in the mirror diameter would cause the deformation of the mirror and increase the thermal deformation caused by temperature variations. A reasonable lightweight structure designed to ensure the optical performance of the system to meet the requirements was required. As a new type of lightweight approach, topology optimization technology was an important direction of the current space optical remote sensing technology research. The lightweight design of rectangular mirror was studied. the variable density method of topology optimization was used. The mirror type precision of the mirror assemblies was obtained in different conditions. PV value was less than &lambda;/10 and RMS value was less than &lambda;/50(&lambda; = 632.8nm). The results show that the entire The mirror assemblies can achieve a sufficiently high static rigidity, dynamic stiffness and thermal stability and has the capability of sufficient resistance to external environmental interference . &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Color quality plays an important role in imaging and displaying. For the Low-quality image, we propose a new method in this paper that is based on gamma mapping to improve color contrast and restore color expression of real world scene. The main idea of the proposed approach is that according to human vision characteristics uses logarithm transformation to extend luminance response of image so; meanwhile, adopts the gamma mapping to enhance the contrast of highlight and dark regions. To approve the proposed method, two well-known algorithms are selected and their contrast results are also presented. The results show that the proposed approach performs better than other traditional methods for color restoration which is of good robustness. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:We present a framework for image classification that extends beyond the window sampling of fixed spatial pyramids and is supported by a new learning algorithm. Based on the observation that fixed spatial pyramids sample a rather limited subset of the possible image windows, we propose a method that accounts for a comprehensive set of windows densely sampled over location, size, and aspect ratio. A concise high-level image feature is derived to effectively deal with this large set of windows, and this higher level of abstraction offers both efficient handling of the dense samples and reduced sensitivity to misalignment. In addition to dense window sampling, we introduce generalized adaptive &ell; <inf>p</inf>-norm multiple kernel learning (GA-MKL) to learn a robust classifier based on multiple base kernels constructed from the new image features and multiple sets of prelearned classifiers from other classes. With GA-MKL, multiple levels of image features are effectively fused, and information is shared among different classifiers. Extensive evaluation on benchmark datasets for object recognition (Caltech256 and Caltech101) and scene recognition (15Scenes) demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art under a broad range of settings. &copy; 2013 IEEE.

Abstract:A 20Gb/s polarization-insensitive all-optical wavelength switching system for high-speed free-space optical communication (FSO) network is experimentally demonstrated All-optical wavelength conversion (AOWC) is implemented using four-wave mixing (FWM) by highly-nonlinear fiber (HNLF). In the experimental setup, a simple actively mode-locked fiber ring laser (AML-FRL) with repetition frequency from 1 to 15 GHz is used to generate eight 2.5Gb/s tributary signals, which are multiplexed into one 20Gb/s optical data stream. At the receiver, the 20 Gb/s OTDM data stream is demultiplexed down to 2.5 Gb/s via a polarization-insensitive FWM scheme. The whole space communication distance is over 10 meters in building hallway. The experimental results show that this system can stably run over 24 hours at 10^-9BER level, thus the proposed architecture can work at higher rate with wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) and high order modulation schemes. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Organic-inorganic hybrid composites have been well-studied as water vapor barrier materials for their long diffusion length of water vapor in coatings which can be realized by improving the aspect ratio of inorganic components and regularity of nanostructure in coatings. In this paper, dense organic-inorganic hybrid coating based on ladder-like alkylene-bridged polymethylsiloxane (ABPMS) was successfully fabricated through the hydrosilylation reaction between polymethylhydrosiloxane and diene (1,5-hexadiene or 1,7-octadiene) in toluene under Pt/C catalysis. Its ladder-like structure was verified by²⁹Si magic angle spinning (MAS) NMR,¹³C MAS NMR, and in-plane and out-of-plane glance-incident X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) techniques. Its corresponding coating showed excellent water vapor barrier ability for a typical water-soluble crystal, potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP). When treated in 50% relative humidity (RH) condition at 25 &deg;C for 8 months, the ABPMS coating with 100 nm thickness displayed a very low transmittance loss of 1.6% compared with the high transmittance loss of 10% for uncoated KDP. Moreover, the ABPMS coating showed good ultraviolet radiation resistance, thermal stability, low mechanical property, and excellent compatibility with hydrophobic antireflective (AR) coatings. &copy; 2015 American Chemical Society.

Abstract:Celestial navigation subsystem of airborne celestial/inertial integrated navigation system periodically correct the positioning error and heading drift of the inertial navigation system, by which the inertial navigation system can greatly improve the accuracy of long-endurance navigation. Thus the navigation accuracy of airborne celestial navigation subsystem directly decides the accuracy of the integrated navigation system if it works for long time. By building the mathematical model of the airborne celestial navigation system based on the inertial navigation system, using the method of linear coordinate transformation, we establish the error transfer equation for the positioning algorithm of airborne celestial system. Based on these we built the positioning error model of the celestial navigation. And then, based on the positioning error model we analyze and simulate the positioning error which are caused by the error of the star tracking platform with the MATLAB software. Finally, the positioning error model is verified by the information of the star obtained from the optical measurement device in range and the device whose location are known. The analysis and simulation results show that the level accuracy and north accuracy of tracking platform are important factors that limit airborne celestial navigation systems to improve the positioning accuracy, and the positioning error have an approximate linear relationship with the level error and north error of tracking platform. The error of the verification results are in 1000m, which shows that the model is correct.. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Image blur dues to the relative motion with the target in the camera exposure time, it would be worse while the ratio of speed and height (or speed and distance) increased. At present, the optical image motion compensation method bases mainly on the reflective element. In order to overcome the disadvantages of complicated image rotation corrected mechanism, difficult position location and optical vibration occurred by the swing scanning, a new method based on rotating double optical wedge was proposed, the dynamic working matrix was built, the emergent light vector's trajectory was analyzed and simulated. According to the actual image motion compensation demand, the double optical wedge designing result and controlling method were presented. Through analysis and simulation, the results show that this method has significant advantages such as compact structure, easy controlling method, stable motion state, high compensation capacity, etc. It has very important practical value for the occasions of the greater ratio of speed and height (or speed and distance). &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics.

Abstract:The characteristics of slow light in the microfiber double-knot resonator with a parallel structure are investigated both theoretically and experimentally. It is predicted that a wide bandwidth of about 20 GHz and flat-top group delay of about 70 ps can be generated in this resonator by changing the coupling coefficient. In the experiment, such a resonator was fabricated and the slow-light effect was demonstrated. As a result, when a pulse with a bandwidth of 3.35 GHz (equivalent to the temporal width of 299 ps) was launched into the resonator, a large group delay, whose average value was about 69.4 ps with a flat-top wavelength bandwidth of about 190 pm, was achieved. &copy; 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

Abstract:Because the scale, horizontal and vertical coordinates of an object in an image are arbitrary, so object detection can be viewed as a process of searching the object in the 3D space spanned by the scale, horizontal, and vertical factors. Traditional sliding window based method has to exhaustively search and check the 3D space, resulting in prohibitive computation cost. To deal with this problem, in this paper, we propose to explore both the scaling capacity and translation capacity of object detector to accelerate detection speed, without loss of detection accuracy. In our paradigm, scaling capacity can relieve the use of all possible sizes of templates at the first stage, i.e., only a few number of templates that can cover a large range of target object size are used to coarsely find the targets. Similarly, translation capacity can avoid dense grid sampling at the very beginning. After initial estimation, further evaluations with templates of finer scales are carried out around the candidates to verify the existence of target objects. Moreover, different from traditional uniform grid scanning, we present an interlaced scanning method called diamond grid scanning which can reduce redundant evaluation. Experimental results on face detection demonstrate the advantage of our method. &copy; 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:In order to enhance the weak and asymmetrical image of small laser spot and suppress the noise information, eliminate unstable laser spot effect on the calculation results, a new method was proposed in this paper. Firstly, a multi-dimensional image cube was constructed by many images captured in different time, the primary information was concentrated in the first dimensional image, the correlation of each dimensional image was removed. Secondly, the first dimensional image was divided into laser spot and background by Kmeans method, the classified image was processed by mathematical morphology, the edge of largest spot was searched as edge of small laser spot. Finally, the least square method of circle fitting was used to calculate small laser spot center. The experimental results show that the method can improve the accurate rate on checking the weak and asymmetrical laser spot, the binary laser spot area obtained by new method is 97.15% of ideal spot area, the error of small laser spot center and radius is less than 2 pixels, and realize the accuracy measure of small laser spot in the integrated diagnostic system. &copy; 2015, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

Abstract:A switchable mode-locking fiber laser is demonstrated by means of a monolayer graphene saturable absorber (SA) based on a D-shaped fiber. The monolayer graphene, which is grown by chemical vapor deposition, is transferred onto the D-shaped fiber and then the light-graphene interaction via the evanescent field of the fiber is enhanced greatly. Using such a graphene-based SA, the single-wavelength mode locking can be switched from 1531.5 to 1559.1 nm by appropriately adjusting the polarization controller (PC). In addition, the stable dual-wavelength mode-locking operation is also observed at the proper state of PC. &copy; 2015 Taylor & Francis.

Abstract:Doppler asymmetric spatial heterodyne spectroscopy (DASH) is a new technology for measuring upper atmospheric winds by observing the Doppler shift of atmospheric emission lines from a satellite using a limb viewing geometry. The real-fringe DASH interferometer is a modification of conventional DASH interferometer; it keeps the advantages of the conventional one. Moreover, this interferometer will not need exit optics to image the superposed fringes onto the detector; it will be more compact and lightweight, making it suitable for space-based platforms. We describe the concept of the new interferometer and present the exact expression of spatial frequency and phase of the interferogram. We also describe design and simulation of a real-fringe DASH interferometer for observation of the O [¹D] 630nm emission. The simulation results agree with the theory. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:We demonstrate the existence of multiple electromagnetically induced transparencies (EIT)-like spectral responses in graphene metamaterials consisting of a series of self-assembled graphene Fabry-P&eacute;rot (FP) cavities. By exploiting the graphene plasmon resonances and phase-coupling effects, the transfer matrix model is established to theoretically predict the EIT-like responses, and the calculated results coincide well with numerical simulations. It is found that high-contrast (&sim;90%) multiple EIT-like windows are observed over a broad range of mid-infrared. Additionally, these optical responses can be efficiently tuned by altering the Fermi level in graphene and the separations of FP cavities. The proposed scheme paves the way toward control of the multiple EIT-like responses, enabling exploration of the on-chip multifunctional electro-optic devices including multi-channel-selective filters, sensors, and modulators. &copy; 2014 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:A new common-path scheme for infrared target simulator is proposed in order to simplify the structure of infrared target simulator. Based on this scheme, a dual-channel infrared projection system with compacted structure is designed. The optical system is characterized by the system field angle of &plusmn;3&deg;, the spectral band of 3~5 &mu;m, the entrance pupil distance of 550 mm, the focal length of 220 mm and the F number of 3.67. After analyzing the reason why the structure of the previous infrared target simulator is complex and the influence of different forms of interference target simulator structure on the design of common-path system, a good solution is given with combination of blackbody source and scanning mirror as interference target source. Through theoretical study of the influence of scanning mirror on the system performance, the feasibility of this scheme is proved. The results show that the modulation transfer function of the main target channel is better than 0.5 at the field of 16lp/mm, the root mean square (RMS) radius of each channel is less than 18 &mu;m, and the distortion is less than 1%. The system can meet the requirements of minus 10  to 40  working environment by focusing. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:The properties of speckle field is studied when Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams illuminate a ground glass plate. The LG vortex beams are generated by a spatial light modulator combing with computer-generated hologram. The relation of speckle size and azimuthal and radial indices and the bright region of the LG beams are analyzed experimentally. Experimental results show that the speckle size decreases linearly with the azimuthal index increasing for certain radial index. Similarly, the speckle size also decreases with the radial index increasing for certain azimuthal index. Moreover, the speckle size is proportional to the negative factor of illuminating area of the LG beam. Further, the negative factor is gradual close to the results of Gaussian beam illuminating with the increasing radial index. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:Effective dimensionality reduction is a classical research area for many large-scale analysis tasks in computer vision. Several recent methods attempt to learn either graph embedding or binary hashing for fast and accurate applications. In this paper, we propose a novel framework to automatically learn the task-specific compact coding, called evolutionary compact embedding (ECE), which can be regarded as an optimization algorithm combining genetic programming (GP) and a boosting trick. As an evolutionary computation methodology, GP can solve problems inspired by natural evolution without any prior knowledge of the solutions. In our evolutionary architecture, each bit of ECE is iteratively computed using a binary classification function, which is generated through GP evolving by jointly minimizing its empirical risk with the AdaBoost strategy on a training set. We address this as greedy optimization leading to small Hamming distances for similar samples and large distances for dissimilar samples. We then evaluate ECE on four image datasets: USPS digital hand-writing, CMU PIE face, CIFAR-10 tiny image and SUN397 scene, showing the accurate and robust performance of our method for large-scale image classification. &copy; 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract:The codebook model has been developed as an effective means for image classification. However, the inherent operation of assigning visual words to image feature vectors in traditional codebook approaches causes serious ambiguities in image classification. In particular, the nearest word may not be the best fit to a feature, and multiple words may be equally appropriate for one specific feature. To resolve these ambiguities, we propose a novel visual codebook model based on the n-dimensional fuzzy geometry (n-D FG) theory, where all visual words and features are modeled as fuzzy points in the n-D FG space, and appropriate uncertainty is introduced to each fuzzy point to enhance the representation capacity. This n-D FG-codebook model not only inherits advantages from the fuzzy set theory, but also facilitates the analysis and determination of the relationship between visual words and features in geometric form. By explicitly taking into account the ambiguities, we propose a novel measure of similarity between the visual words and fuzzy features. Following the proposed codebook model and the novel similarity measure, we develop two useful image classification algorithms by modifying popular image coding algorithms (i.e. SPM and LLC). Finally, experimental results demonstrate that the classification accuracy of the proposed algorithms is dramatically improved for a standard large-scale image database. For example, with a codebook size of 256, the proposed algorithms achieve similar performance as traditional algorithms with a codebook size of 1024, indicating that the proposed algorithms reduce the computational cost by 75% while achieving almost identical classification accuracy to traditional algorithms. Thus, the proposed algorithms represent a more efficient and appropriate scheme for big image data. &copy; 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract:For imaging equipments, exposure is one of the crucial factors for evaluating the quality of imaging. The correct method of exposure is the key to obtain high-quality image. Traditional calculation of exposure is slow in adaptation under extreme environment. In addition, the object of imaging under extreme light usually cannot achieve suitable gray level. To obtain accurate and effective control of automatic exposure under back light and front light environment, this article divides shoot scenes into different regions, applying the method of fuzzy logic to give each region a different weight number, and finally allowing it to correctly carry out automatic exposure. This method can manage imaging under special light conditions without being affected by the position of the main object. Experiments show that this method can effectively control automatic exposure under all kinds of environments. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:In this study we present an all-normal-dispersion Yb-doped fiber laser passively mode-locked with topological insulator (Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf>) saturable absorber. The saturable absorber device is fabricated by depositing Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf>on a tapered fiber through using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technology, which can give rise to less non-saturable losses than most of the solution processing methods. Owing to the long interaction length, Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf>is not exposed to high optical power, which allows the saturable absorber device to work in a high power regime. The modulation depth of this kind of saturable absorber is measured to be 10%. By combining the saturable absorber device with Yb-doped fiber laser, a mode-locked pulse operating at a repetition rate of 19.8 MHz is achieved. The 3-dB spectral width and pulse duration are measured to be 1.245 nm and 317 ps, respectively. &copy; 2015 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.

The interferometer is associated with a telescope system to feature the object with collimated light. The experiment is conducted on two objects possessing different step heights. The phase maps from the captured off-axis holograms are calculated numerically, which allows us to deduce the contours of the objects. The great advantages of the presented technique are that it can be done in real time and there is no need for numerical lenses for micro-objects reconstruction. &copy; 2015 Chinese Optics Letters.

Abstract:Hyperspectral unmixing is one of the most important problems in analyzing remote sensing images, which aims to decompose a mixed pixel into a collection of constituent materials named endmembers and their corresponding fractional abundances. Recently, various methods have been proposed to incorporate sparse constraints into hyperspectral unmixing and achieve advanced performance. However, most of them ignore the complex distribution of substances in hyperspectral data so that they are only effective in limited cases. In this paper, the concept of substance dependence is introduced to help hyperspectral unmixing. Generally, substance dependence can be considered in a local region by K-nearest neighbors method. However, since substances of hyperspectral images are complicatedly distributed, number K of the most similar substances to each substance is difficult to decide. In this case, substance dependence should be considered in the whole data space, and the number of the K most similar substances to each substance can be adaptively determined by searching from the whole space. Through maintaining the substance dependence during unmixing, the abundances resulted from the proposed method are closer to the real fractions, which lead to better unmixing performance. The following contributions can be summarized. 1) The concept of substance dependence is proposed to describe the complicated relationship between substances in the hyperspectral image. 2) We propose substance dependence constrained sparse nonnegative matrix factorization (SDSNMF) for hyperspectral unmixing. Using SDSNMF, we meet or exceed state-of-the-art unmixing performance. 3) Adequate experiments on both synthetic and real hyperspectral data have been tested. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods, the experimental results prove the superiority of the proposed method. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:This paper investigates how to blindly evaluate the visual quality of an image by learning rules from linguistic descriptions. Extensive psychological evidence shows that humans prefer to conduct evaluations qualitatively rather than numerically. The qualitative evaluations are then converted into the numerical scores to fairly benchmark objective image quality assessment (IQA) metrics. Recently, lots of learning-based IQA models are proposed by analyzing the mapping from the images to numerical ratings. However, the learnt mapping can hardly be accurate enough because some information has been lost in such an irreversible conversion from the linguistic descriptions to numerical scores. In this paper, we propose a blind IQA model, which learns qualitative evaluations directly and outputs numerical scores for general utilization and fair comparison. Images are represented by natural scene statistics features. A discriminative deep model is trained to classify the features into five grades, corresponding to five explicit mental concepts, i.e., excellent, good, fair, poor, and bad. A newly designed quality pooling is then applied to convert the qualitative labels into scores. The classification framework is not only much more natural than the regression-based models, but also robust to the small sample size problem. Thorough experiments are conducted on popular databases to verify the model's effectiveness, efficiency, and robustness. &copy; 2012 IEEE.

In this paper, inspired by the properties of generalized Luneburg lens (GLLs), a two-dimensional photonic nanojet system has been developed, which focal distance can be tuned by engineering the refractive index profile of GLLs. Simulation and analysis results show that the maximum light intensity, transverse and longitudinal dimensions of the photonic nanojet are dependent on the focal distance of the GLLs, thereby, by simply varying the focal distance, it is possible to obtain localized photon fluxes with different power characteristics and spatial dimensions. This can be of interest for many promising applications, such as high-resolution optical detection, optical manipulation, technology of direct-write nano-patterning and nano-lithography. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America &copy; 2015 OSA.

Abstract:In this paper, we propose a novel energy optimization framework to accurately estimate surface normal and reflectance of an object from an input image sequence. Input images are captured from a fixed viewpoint under varying lighting conditions. In the proposed approach we combine photometric stereo and Retinex constraints into our energy function. To formulate inter-image constraints, shading information is added to the Lambertian model to account for shadows. For intra-image constraints, we moderate the strength of shading smoothness according to shadow mask and normal variations. By minimizing this energy function we are able to recover accurate surface normals and reflectance. Experimental results show that our approach yields more realistic normal map and accurate albedo map than the state-of-the-art uncalibrated photometric stereo algorithms. As for intrinsic image decomposition, results on the real and synthetic scenes show that the proposed approach outperforms previous ones. &copy; 1991-2012 IEEE.

Abstract:According to the realization principle of phase closure in coherent field imaging, a new four-phase closure (FPC) algorithm is proposed for T-array multi-beam transmitter system. A type of four-item measurement radio of closure phase is first defined, and then the validity of FPC is confirmed in cancelling out the random atmospheric phase aberrations as well as eliminating atmospheric scintillation effect on degradation of the reconstructed image. Simulations prove the effectiveness of FPC, providing a new approach in removing atmospheric aberrations for multi-beam coherence field imaging. &copy;, 2015, Institute of Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Abstract:Blind image quality assessment (BIQA) aims to predict perceptual image quality scores without access to reference images. State-of-the-art BIQA methods typically require subjects to score a large number of images to train a robust model. However, subjective quality scores are imprecise, biased, and inconsistent, and it is challenging to obtain a large-scale database, or to extend existing databases, because of the inconvenience of collecting images, training the subjects, conducting subjective experiments, and realigning human quality evaluations. To combat these limitations, this paper explores and exploits preference image pairs (PIPs) such as the quality of image I<inf>a</inf>is better than that of image I<inf>b</inf>for training a robust BIQA model. The preference label, representing the relative quality of two images, is generally precise and consistent, and is not sensitive to image content, distortion type, or subject identity; such PIPs can be generated at a very low cost. The proposed BIQA method is one of learning to rank. We first formulate the problem of learning the mapping from the image features to the preference label as one of classification. In particular, we investigate the utilization of a multiple kernel learning algorithm based on group lasso to provide a solution. A simple but effective strategy to estimate perceptual image quality scores is then presented. Experiments show that the proposed BIQA method is highly effective and achieves a performance comparable with that of state-of-the-art BIQA algorithms. Moreover, the proposed method can be easily extended to new distortion categories. &copy; 2012 IEEE.

Abstract:To guarantee the image quality of a high-altitude camera in extreme low temperatures, thermal design for camera optical system was done by combined passive thermal control with active thermal control. Polyimide insulation material is used for passive thermal control, increasing the camera's thermal resistance between internal structures and external environment, and decreasing the influence of the external cryogenic environment on the temperatures of camera lens. The method of using electric heating film to heat camera lens was adopted as an active thermal control means. The heat transfer model of the lens in the optical system was built in the WorkBench finite element software with heating power loads, thermal convection loads and thermal radiation loads considered, and steady-state thermal analysis was carried out. It turned out that, the temperature of the camera optical system was controlled in the range of 18~22 when the heating power of six heating zones was 12, 17, 22, 17, 10, 13 W, and the thermal control result meted the design requirements. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:Many dehazing methods have proven to be effective in removing haze out of the hazy image, but few of them are adaptive in handling the dense haze. In this paper, based on the angle of polarization (AOP) distribution analysis we propose a kind of polarimetric dehazing method, which is verified to be capable of enhancing the contrast and the range of visibility of images taken in dense haze substantially. It is found that the estimating precision of the intensity of airlight is a key factor which determines the dehazing quality, and fortunately our method involves a high precision estimation inherently. In the experiments a good dehazing performance is demonstrated, especially for dense haze removal. We find that the visibility can be enhanced at least 74%. Besides, the method can be used not only in dense haze but also in severe sea fog. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:9xx nm CW mini-bar diode lasers and stacks with high brightness and reliability are desired for pumping fiber lasers and direct fiber coupling applications. For the traditional cm-bar with 1mm-2mm cavity, it can provide CW output power up to 80W-100W and high reliability, whereas the brightness is relatively low. In comparison, mini-bar based diode lasers with 4mm cavity offer a superior performance balance between power, brightness, and reliability. However, the long cavity and large footprint of mini-bar diode laser renders its sensitivity towards thermal stress formed in packaging process, which directly affects the performances of high bright mini-bar diode lasers. In this work, the thermal stress correlating with package structure and packaging process are compared and analyzed. Based on the experiment and analysis results, an optimized package structure of CW 60W 976 nm mini-bar diode lasers is designed and developed which relieves thermal stress. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:We report on the experimental observation of multi-wavelength operations based on the evanescent-field interaction with carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The saturable absorber (SA) is fabricated by depositing CNTs on a D-shaped fiber (DF). In the experiment, switchable dual-wavelength picosecond solitons with central wavelengths of 1532.2, 1556.6 nm and 1529.4, 1531.0 nm are achieved. Several single wavelength operations are also delivered by the all-fiber laser. Single- and multi-wavelength pulse emissions are effectively controlled by changing the pump power and optimizing the polarization controller. Our experiment demonstrates that the DF-SA can work as a versatile mode locker in ultrafast lasers. The flexible all-fiber laser is convenient and attractive for practical applications such as fiber optic sensing and photonic component characterization. &copy; 2015 Astro Ltd.

Abstract:A method to reduce the signal aliasing influence on the Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) estimation is proposed in this study. The reduction of signal aliasing influence is realized by fitting Fermi function to the edge spread function that is estimated by modified slanted-edge method. The proposed method is suitable to measure the MTF of compressive imaging system, which is an aliased imaging system. The results of experiments show that the accuracy of the estimated MTF is improved when the proposed method is used. The cutoff frequency and the area under MTF of the compressive imaging system are also evaluated based on the proposed MTF estimation method. &copy;, 2015, Journal of Information and Computational Science.

Abstract:We have investigated numerically the narrowband absorption property of a metal-dielectric-metal based structure which includes a top metallic nanoring arrays, a metal backed plate, and a middle dielectric spacer. Its absorption is up to 90% with linewidth narrower than 10 nm. This can be explained in terms of surface lattice resonance of the periodic structure. The spectrum with the sharp absorption dip, i.e.The lattice resonance, strongly depends on the refractive index of media surrounding the nanorings. This feature can be explored to devise a refractive index sensor, of which the bulk sensitivity factor is one order larger than that based on gap resonance mode, while the surface sensitivity factor can be two times larger. The proposed narrowband absorber has potential in applications of plasmonic biosensors. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:Passively harmonic mode locking (HML) operation had been demonstrated in an erbium-doped fiber laser with a microfiber-based topological insulator (TI) Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf> saturable absorber (SA). It was found that the pulse train possessed different orders of HML (with a tunable repetition rate from 232 to 390 MHz) due to different incident pump powers. The spectra exhibited typical features of conventional solitons (perfect Gaussian profile with Kelly sidebands) with no continuous wave component. The measured signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) reached 60 dB, whereas the pulse duration was kept around 1.32 ps without significant change. The experimental observation revealed that the microfiber-based TI device could indeed be employed as a high-performance SA for further applications in ultrafast photonics. &copy; 2009-2012 IEEE.

Abstract:A new approach to relative orientation based on dual quaternions is proposed. Dual quaternions are used to express a unified description of the relative position and orientation of two images in a stereopair. The coplanarity condition equation and its linearised model based on dual quaternions are established. According to the principle of least squares adjustment with constraints, a dual quaternion can be identified and the relative-orientation parameters can then be obtained by a non-linear transformation of the components of the dual quaternion. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is feasible and more reliable and efficient than the conventional approach based on Euler angles. &copy; 2015 The Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Abstract:It has been a debatable problem that what the essence of light is, and how it is produced. Since the modern times, as James Clerk Maxwell setting the theory of electromagnetic up, the mainstream consciousness was occupied gradually by the wave theory of light. But at the end of 19th century, a series experimental phenomenon weren't precisely explained by the wave theory of light such as photoelectric effect experiment. Then Albert Einstein published his famous paper On a Heuristic Viewpoint Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light, which laid the foundation of light quantum hypothesis. While solving these problems perfectly, a new problem was caused that because the wave theory and the quantum theory are both applicable to interpret some of the experiment of light, what is the essence of light. This paper first outlines the history of optical development and current status, and states the difficulties and deficiencies of the study of light. Then we put forward the key concept of the paper called lightstring which consults some points of the theory of modern optics and physics which called the optical frequency comb and the string theory, then presents the essence of light based on the light string concept in order to make the concept of photons specific. And then we put forward the production mechanism of light - - the String-Light effect based on the concept of light string. In this paper, we attempt to put forward a new idea of the study of the essence of light and the production mechanism of it. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:The compression method, first proposed in 2012, is based on the non-negative tensor decomposition for interference hyper-spectral image data. As a tensor is generated by a huge amount of interference hyper-spectral images, the multiplicative update algorithm is made extremely complicated, and even unfeasible. To reduce the computational cost and speed up the convergence, this paper, based on the characteristics of interference hyper-spectral images, develops a new algorithm using different down-sampling factors for different non-negative wavelet sub-band tensors. The experimental results showed that this algorithm could significantly shorten the running time, while maintaining a good compression performance compared with the conventional methods. &copy; 2014, Science China Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Abstract:We report a rotating-mirror scanning camera system based on a galvanometer and a CCD camera. This system improves the imaging speed by placing a series of paralleled images on the sensor of the camera so that multiple images are acquired during one single exposure; thus, the frame rate of the CCD camera does not limit the temporal resolution of recorded events. The camera is implemented on a custom designed light-sheet microscopy and aims to improve the imaging speed while the high spatial resolution is still retained on the light-sheet microscope. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:We report a highly sensitive refractive index (RI) sensor in the aqueous solution, which is based on an 81&deg;-tilted fiber grating structure inscribed into a thin cladding fiber with 40 &mu;m cladding radius. The numerical analysis has indicated that the RI sensitivity of cladding resonance mode of the grating can be significantly enhanced with reducing cladding size. This has been proved by the experimental results as the RI sensitivities of TM and TE resonance peaks in the index region of 1.345 have been increased to 1180 nm/RIU and 1150 nm/RIU, respectively, from only 200 and 170 nm/RIU for the same grating structure inscribed in standard telecom fiber with 62.5-&mu;m cladding radius. Although the temperature sensitivity has also increased, the change in temperature sensitivity is still insignificant in comparison with RI sensitivity enhancement. &copy; 1983-2012 IEEE.

Abstract:For optical coherent M-ary phase-shift-keying (M-PSK) system, the frequency offset algorithm based on differential phase or FFT maximization which was widely used is difficult to achieve MHz estimation error when the data length is short, which is difficult for the following carrier phase estimation to recover the data. To meet the needs of high accuracy and real-time performance for frequency offset estimation in the M-PSK system, a frequency estimator based on fast Fourier transform and multiple signal classification (MUSIC) was proposed and investigated. For the first time, MUSIC algorithm was used in this area. The proposed algorithm is accurate especially when the data length is short. The principle and flowchart were proposed to illustrate the algorithm. Numerical simulations of 20-Gbaud QPSK coherent systems were carried out to demonstrate this algorithm. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics. All right reserved.

Abstract:A fiber chirped pulse amplification system based on Yb³⁺doped fibers is demonstrated. The seeder is a mode-locked fiber laser with semiconductor saturable absorber, the chirped pulse amplification technique is applied to stretch the 1030 nm pulse to several hundred picoseconds to be amplified. The single mode picosecond pulses with average power of 50 W and repetition rates of 211 kHz are achieved by using multistage pre-amplifier consisted with Yb³⁺doped single mode fiber amplifier and double cladding fiber amplifier and the main amplifier with a large mode area rod-typed photonic crystal fiber as the laser gain material. Properly controlled the gain and the nonlinearity in every step of the amplification system, the influence of nonlinear effects are effectively suppressed on the pulse of time domain in high energy amplification. Laser pulses with pulse duration of 887 fs are generated by a reflective grating-pair compressor, corresponding to single pulse energy of 124 &mu;J and peak power of 139.8 MW. This experimental result of hundred micro joules level femtosecond laser based on fiber structure is firstly reported in China. &copy; 2015, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this paper pose measurement refers to flying pose measurement of rigid body including the pitch angle, yaw angel and roll angle. Pose measurement is of vital importance for such items as weapons settings, fault analysis and optimation design. Pose measurement based on optical images has many merits such as intuitive and non-contacted, which is a main method to measure pose currently. According to the parameters used and principle of the algorithms, the existing methods of pose measurement based on optical images are classified systematically and comprehensively for the first time as following: the methods of one station un-using camera's inner parameters are divided into the feature length ratio method and the direct linear transformation(DLT)method, otherwise they are divided into the perspective n points(PNP)problem and the optical and radar integration method, the axes from planes intersection using two stations extensible to multistation, and model matching applied to one or more stations, and then they are comparatively analyzed.At last combined with practical applications such as one or more stations, have or no model and inner parameters used or unused, some selection and improvement of key points are given practically. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Considering the images captured under hazy weather conditions are blurred, a new dehazing algorithm based on overlapped sub-block homomorphic filtering in HSV color space is proposed. Firstly, the hazy image is transformed from RGB to HSV color space. Secondly, the luminance component V is dealt with the overlapped sub-block homomorphic filtering. Finally, the processed image is converted from HSV to RGB color space once again. Then the dehazing images will be obtained. According to the established algorithm model, the dehazing images could be evaluated by six objective evaluation parameters including average value, standard deviation, entropy, average gradient, edge intensity and contrast. The experimental results show that this algorithm has good dehazing effect. It can not only improve degradation of the image, but also amplify the image details and enhance the contrast of the image effectively. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Traditional registration methods based on geometric measurement can not match the medical image with local deformation. To solve the problem, an improved Iterative Closest Points (ICP) algorithm about human visual cognitive process is proposed base on the salient texture. Firstly, the method establishes the model for the salient texture feature of a medical image based on Active Appearance Model (AAM) algorithm, and it gives the feature point with more salient for a larger weight to complete the image match in the first step. Then, it introduces the salient texture distance to the traditional space distance. By simulating the human visual cognitive process proposed by Gestalt, the linear decreasing weight is used to balance the two kinds of distance measuring methods. With the algorithm, a whole registration is obtained by the geometric distance in the early stage. On the other hand, the feature points of local deformation are accurately registrated with the texture features in the later stage. At last, a series of experiments are performed on real live images. The experiment results show that the algorithm can get a good matching result, and the registration accuracy is 78.82%, increasing by 22.22% as compared with those of other popular algorithms. The experimental results also show that it is not sensitive to the rotation of the images. It concludes that the algorithm solves the registration problems of local deformation in medical organs and achieves higher precision and stronger robustness. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Abstract:As for the problem of small target detection in hyperspectral remote sensing image, a detection method based on adaptiveparameter support vector machine (SVM) is proposed. The low dimensional information of the hyperspectral image is obtained using the method of principal component analysis (PCA) and the redundancy of data is reduced. Then, small targets are positioned fast and roughly by an unsupervised detection method, and the posterior information of SVM is got by the position result. The kernel parameter of SVM is determined adaptively based on the posterior information and the criteria of divergence in the kernel space. The best hyperplane in the kernel space for the segmentation of targets and background is found by the SVM. Pixels are separated to targets and background by the best hyperplane. The accurate and stable target detection result is obtained by iteration. A large number of experimental results show that, compared to the existing methods such as RX method, kernel RX method and support vector data description (SVDD) method, the proposed method is more effective to detect small targets accurately in the hyperspectral remote sensing image. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:A novel level set method (LSM) with the constraint of shape priors is proposed to implement a selective image segmentation. Firstly, the shape priors are aligned by using image moment to deprive the spatial related information. Secondly, the aligned shape priors are projected into the subspace expanded by using locality preserving projection to measure the similarity between the shapes. Finally, a new energy functional is built by combing data-driven and shape-driven energy items to implement a selective image segmentation method. We assess the proposed method and some representative LSMs on the synthetic, medical and natural images, the results suggest that the proposed one is superior to the pure data-driven LSMs and the representative LSMs with shape priors. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:A diffuse direct-current glow discharge was realized with low energy consumption and high energy utilization efficiency at atmospheric pressure. The formation of diffuse discharge was demonstrated by examining and comparing the electrical properties and optical emissions of plasmas. In combination with theoretical derivation and calculation, we draw guidelines that appearance of nitrogen ions at low electron density is crucial to enhance the ambipolar diffusion for the expansion of discharge channel and the increasing ambipolar diffusion near the cathode plays a key role in the onset of diffuse discharge. An individual-discharge-channel expansion model is proposed to explain the diffuse discharge formation. &copy; 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

Abstract:In recent years, person reidentification has received growing attention with the increasing popularity of intelligent video surveillance. This is because person reidentification is critical for human tracking with multiple cameras. Recently, keep it simple and straightforward (KISS) metric learning has been regarded as a top level algorithm for person reidentification. The covariance matrices of KISS are estimated by maximum likelihood (ML) estimation. It is known that discriminative learning based on the minimum classification error (MCE) is more reliable than classical ML estimation with the increasing of the number of training samples. When considering a small sample size problem, direct MCE KISS does not work well, because of the estimate error of small eigenvalues. Therefore, we further introduce the smoothing technique to improve the estimates of the small eigenvalues of a covariance matrix. Our new scheme is termed the minimum classification error-KISS (MCE-KISS). We conduct thorough validation experiments on the VIPeR and ETHZ datasets, which demonstrate the robustness and effectiveness of MCE-KISS for person reidentification. &copy; 2013 IEEE.

Abstract:Mutual alignment accuracy is a main factor which affects the joint calibration of panoramic stereo cameras and laser radars in the dynamic spatial sensing area. To improve the result of joint calibration, we analyze the traditional technology of mutual alignment with telescope cross wires. As it is tedious and difficult, a new method of mutual alignment based on four-quadrant detectors is provided. The laser transmitter, four-quadrant detector and coarse aiming device are respectively arranged on two instruments. And the laser beam irradiates the active area of four-quadrant detector through coarse aiming. Then the center of light spot offset relative to the center of the active area is obtained according to the output voltage of four quadrants. Thus the positions and the poses of two instruments can be adjusted properly to realize mutual alignment. The simulation analysis and experimental results indicate that the four-quadrant detector alignment accuracy can meet the requirement of mutual alignment. This method provides a new idea for joint calibration, which operates more easily than the mutual alignment technology based on the telescope cross wire. &copy; 2015, Board of Optronics Lasers.

Abstract:This paper presents a new method to compute the dense correspondences between two images by using the energy optimization and the structured patches. In terms of the property of the sparse feature and the principle that nearest sub-scenes and neighbors are much more similar, we design a new energy optimization to guide the dense matching process and find the reliable correspondences. The sparse features are also employed to design a new structure to describe the patches. Both transformation and deformation with the structured patches are considered and incorporated into an energy optimization framework. Thus, our algorithm can match the objects robustly in complicated scenes. Finally, a local refinement technique is proposed to solve the perturbation of the matched patches. Experimental results demonstrate that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art matching algorithms. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:The response nonuniformity of uncooled infrared focal plane arrays is very similar to the stripe noise. Scene-based nonuniformity correction algorithm is an effective way to enhance the image quality and compensate the response drift. Based on the study of moment matching theory, a novel temporal moment matching nonuniformity correction algorithm is proposed. In the proposed algorithm, changing column is identified by the adjacent frames after moment matching, the correction coefficients are updated adaptively in temporal domain. The experimental results with the real infrared video sequences have shown that the proposed algorithm can significantly increase the convergence speed and reduce the ghosting artifacts. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:The effects of TMIn flow rate and AsH<inf>3</inf>flow rate on the photoluminescence spectra of the high indium content InGaAs multiple quantum wells for &lambda; &gt; 1.55 &mu;m laser diodes have been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The wavelength peak red-shifted about 4.8 nm for increasing 1 sccm H<inf>2</inf>flow rate through TMIn under a AsH<inf>3</inf>flow rate of 150 sccm, while the wavelength shift increases to 6.5 nm at a higher AsH<inf>3</inf>flow rate of 300 sccm. Results show that more AsH<inf>3</inf>flow rate will promote much TMGa pyrolysis than TMIn in the high indium content InGaAs growth. Considering the influence of growth parameters, the longest wavelength of 1.889 &mu;m among the InGaAs/InGaAsP strained MQWs samples was obtained with high crystal quality. &copy;2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:This paper is mainly reported to a pulse reliability investigation of high power single emitter laser modules with nanosilver paste. Comparative experiments in continuous pulse conditions for the laser modules packaged with nanosilver paste, indium and AuSn solders were conducted. The results indicate that the laser modules attached by nanosilver paste have a longer-term lifetime than those with indium and AuSn solders in continuous pulse conditions. Transient thermal behavior and coupled thermo-mechanical behavior in continuous pulse conditions are simulated by finite element method (FEM). A semi-empirical model based on Arrhenius relationship is established to provide relative reliability assessments for laser modules by combining with the simulating results. &copy; 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:By femtosecond laser with repetition rate of 1 kHz, central wavelength of 800 nm and pulse width of 120 fs, Type I (single line) and depressed circular cladding waveguides in Er&lt;sup&gt;3+&lt;/sup&gt; doped 'water-free' fluorotellurite glass are transversely written with slit shaping technology, respectively. The impact of the processing conditions on the waveguides' formation is systematically studied, and the waveguides with better guiding mode are obtained. Refractive index profile is reconstructed by intensity distribution of the near-field mode, and the largest positive refractive index change for Type I waveguide is about 1&times;10&lt;sup&gt;-4&lt;/sup&gt;, slightly smaller than that (1.9&times;10&lt;sup&gt;-4&lt;/sup&gt;) of depressed cladding waveguide. By using the scattering technique, the propagation loss of Type I waveguide is about 1.04 dB/cm. The loss of depressed cladding waveguide is less than 1.88 dB/cm by measuring insertion loss. Therefore, Er&lt;sup&gt;3+&lt;/sup&gt; doped 'water-free' fluorotellurite glass waveguides inscribed by femtosecond laser are promising candidates for the development of integrated laser resources. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:Video summarization usually refers to produce a summary preserving essential content of the original video. Many existing methods have been developed to select representative frames by a dictionary learning model, which have led to a state-of-The-Art performance. However, learning dictionary without considering relationship between samples of the original data space would lead to imprecise representation. To address this problem, in this paper, geometrical distribution information of samples is incorporated into the dictionary learning process. A graph based learning strategy is employed to draw the geometrical distribution information. Meanwhile, the diversity criteria is considered as important as representativeness, which can reduce redundant frames to be selected in final summary. Thus similarity measuring is imported to guarantee that a final summary contains diversity contents within the original video. The proposed method is validated on a challenging and widely used dataset, and state-of-The-Art performance is achieved in contrast to other methods. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:To overcome the shortcoming that most of the recent Non-uniformity Correction (NUC) algorithms which need a large number of underlying images, a non-uniformity correction method based on single infrared image is proposed. In the proposed method, the moment matching algorithm is used to correct the non-uniformity image to get the pilot image. Then, the banding occurring in the pilot image is removed by the local weighted-histogram specification algorithm to get the final result. Experiment results show the effectiveness of the proposed non-uniformity correction algorithm.

Abstract:The basic features that should be possessed are detecting long-distance target, capturing rapid target and tracking multiple target for a high-performance optical warning system. It is the basic condition to achieve the whole airspace closure detection. Due to inherent structural defects, there are some problems in the application of early warning for traditional optical tracking platform. A new concept of structure called umbrella multi-tier distributed load structure was proposed that was fitted in photoelectric tracking platform applied in optical warning. Through the structural feature of the new type of tracking platform, combining with measurement-mode plan of multi-detector, optimizing control and information processing system, it aims to solve the problems effectively that restricts the performance for optical warning system, such as the small searching field-goal; single target tracking; the top blind of tracking. It will break the bottleneck of optical tracking device application in optical warning system. &copy; 2015, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering. All right reserved.

Abstract:The base-platform deformation and uneven of vehicle-borne photoelectric theodolite can lead to the theodolite angle measurement error larger than before. In order to improve the precision, the error should be corrected. With the level measurement meter, the angle of the platform and the horizontal plane can be measured. Based on the measurement results, an analytic geometry method of plane rotation changes is put forward for converting the results to the vertical axis tilt angle and azimuth tilt angle, and then the alignment error is analyzed, which is caused by the calculation method during measurement. At last, the relationships of composition error, alignment error, and the tilt of the platform are analyzed. The simulation and experimental results show that, within the vehicle leveling accuracy of 300&Prime;, the vehicle-borne theodolite comprehensive angle error is less than 16&Prime;, and the high precision measurement can be realized. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:The threat assessment of aerial targets is the basic method for improving the ability of air defense system to deal with multiple objects in complex environment. Considering both the uncertain and imprecise information and prioritization relationship of attributes, we propose an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy prioritized ordered weighted averaging (IVIF-POWA) operator-based threat assessment model. The contribution of this paper is twofold: 1) An IVIF-POWA operator is proposed, which expresses the imprecise and uncertain information with more suitable interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. 2) This work proposes a simple yet effective threat assessment model based on IVIF-POWA operator. Its efficiency and effectiveness are validated by comparing it with some popular operators in a numerical example. &copy; Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.

Abstract:The visible and near-infrared imaging spectrometer on board the Yutu Rover of Chinese Chang'E-3 mission measured the lunar surface reflectance at a close distance (&sim;1 m) and collected four spectra at four different sites. These in situ lunar spectra have revealed less mature features than that measured remotely by spaceborne sensors such as the Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument on board the Chandrayaan-1 mission and the Spectral Profiler on board the Kaguya over the same region. Mineral composition analysis using a spectral lookup table populated with a radiative transfer mixing model has shown that the regolith at the landing site contains high abundance of olivine. The mineral abundance results are consistent with that inferred from the compound measurement made by the on board alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer. &copy;2015. American Geophysical Union.

Abstract:Perfect linkage of dual frequency combs based on all polarization-maintaining femtosecond fiber lasers is demonstrated. By employing two independent tracking feedback controlling circuits, the repetition frequency (f<inf>r</inf>) and the carrier-envelope offset frequency (f<inf>ceo</inf>) of the slave frequency comb track the master's f<inf>r</inf>and f<inf>ceo</inf>, respectively. The correlation coefficients of the dual f<inf>r</inf>'s and the dual f<inf>ceo</inf>'s are up to 0.99 and 0.98, which indicate an ideal linkage between the dual frequency combs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report about linkage of dual frequency combs. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:Based on previous researches, we construct a pseudo-thermal light ghost imaging system suited for remote imaging applications. By using pulsed pseudo-thermal light, the transmitted power is improved to ghost imaging long distant targets. By using imaging lens system, the path lengths of reference and signal light need not keep equal, as in lensless ghost imaging system, thus the transmitter, receiver, and correlator circuit can be integrated and keep compact. Furthermore, the revolution is improved by reducing the sizes of speckles. And the number of imaging frames is decreased (thus reduced the image-reconstruct time) and the signal-noise-ratio of ghost image is improved by compressed sensing. Based on the constructed experimental system, we implemented ghost imaging of a target at about 30m range. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:We have proposed a nanotube-mode-locking fiber laser that can generate conventional solitons and stretched pulses in the same cavity. The net cavity dispersion of laser is slightly negative. The central wavelength and bandwidth of the conventional solitons are 1584.7 and 9.2 nm, respectively. The stretched pulse locates at 1572 nm with a bandwidth of 18.8 nm. The switchable mode-locking operation is mainly attributable to the bandwidth-dependent stretching factor that is tunable due to the spectral filtering effect induced by nonlinear polarization rotation. &copy; 2015 Astro Ltd.

Abstract:We propose a low-cost device-free mobile target tracking system using passive tags, namely, DTrack, to detect and track a human object in a certain surveillance area. The idea is that when a human object moves, he may block or reflect the RF signals between the reader and tags. Based on the estimation of Doppler Shift and Tag Read Rate variations, DTrack can detect whether a human object enters in the system and further track the moving direction of the object. DTrack uses commercial readers and off-the-shelf passive tags and is scalable and easy for large-scale deployments. Experimental results show that our system is effective in detecting the direction of moving human objects with high accuracy. &copy; 2015 Han Ding et al.

The proposed fiber features simultaneously low modal and intermodal dispersions, as well as low loss in the terahertz spectral range. We experimentally demonstrate that graded index porous fibers exhibit smaller pulse distortion, larger bandwidth, and higher excitation efficiency when compared to fibers with uniform porosity. &copy; 2015 OSA.

Abstract:We propose a theoretical model to describe the light-propagation property of the microfiber double-knot resonator with a Sagnac loop reflector. The mathematical relationships between the reflection light field and the input one of this structure are deduced. Numerical simulations indicate that, comparing with the group time delay in the microfiber double-knot resonator, the one in the same resonator but with a Sagnac loop reflector can be enhanced considerably. For comparison, microfiber double-knot resonators with and without a Sagnac loop reflector are both fabricated. Corresponding comparison experiments are performed, which indeed demonstrates the theoretical prediction. A group time delay of about 61 ps is achieved experimentally in the resonator with a Sagnac loop reflector, while in the same resonator but without a Sagnac loop reflector it is only about 30 ps. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:A dedicated single photoelectron spectrometer was developed to evaluate and demarcate the characteristics of the 8-inch micro-channel plate photo-multiplier tube (MCP-PMT), including but not limited to the gain and peak-to-valley voltage ratio (P/V) of a single photoelectron spectrum and uniformity of the photocathode. The analogue signal of charges was digitized with high precision charge-to-digital converter (QDC); the single photoelectron spectrum was obtained by integrating the digitized charge spectrum with VME data-acquisition software; and the photoelectron I-V flat curve at a specific point of the photocathode were evaluated with the current-sampling module of software LABVIEW. The results show that the gain and P/V ratio of the 8-inch MCP-PMT single photoelectron spectrum were 2.5233&times;10⁷and above 2.78, respectively, under the operation conditions: a voltage of 2000 V, a pulse-width of 10 ns, a sampling-frequency of 1 kHz, and with LED light-source powered at 1.735 V. Moreover, the photocathode uniformity was estimated to be lower than 10%, satisfying the requirement for neutrino detection. &copy;, YYYY, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:We have proposed a carbon-nanotube-based passively mode-locked fiber laser, which consists of two fiber ring resonators, for the first time to author's best knowledge. The proposed laser in the main cavity is coupled with a fiber sub-loop, which is connected with a 2 &times; 2 optical coupler. Without the sub-loop, uniform-spaced conventional solitons are achieved in the fiber ring laser. With the sub-loop, the fiber laser generates a train of pulses modulated with a periodic envelop. The modulation period and pulse-pulse separation are &sim;160 and &sim;4.3 ns, which are determined by the lengths of the main cavity and the sub-loop, respectively. &copy; 2015 Elsevier GmbH.

Abstract:In order to reduce the frequency of researchers routing in and out of the testing site and ensure the fluency of the testing we design a new filter system applied to the streak cameras. This system promotes streak cameras' abilities on spatial discrimination and time resolution. This paper focuses on the instruction of the piezoelectric motor's principle based on field-effect tubes. Filter wheel is driven by piezoelectric motor. It can effectively avoid the influences of high field produced by streak tube. Finally we achieve auto regulation at different gears and promote the efficiency of operations and guarantee the safety of researchers. CD4046 introduces the driven clock of this system and we use an inverter to get two synchronous inverted signals. These signals are amplified by field-effect tubes to more than 300V. The amplified ones are integrated at the output terminals to generate sinusoidal signal. The test shows that in this filter system piezoelectric motor operates at its resonance frequency under a control signal of 62.5 KHz. Its working current is 1.9A and driving power is almost 10W. By adjusting the gears, the filter wheel costs less than 2 seconds to calibrate. We accomplish the test in respected results. &copy; COPYRIGHT SPIE 2015.

Abstract:X-ray communication, which was firstly introduced by Keithe Gendreau in 2007, is potential to compete with conventional communication methods, such as microwave and laser communication, against space surroundings. As a result, a great deal of time and effort has been devoted to making the initial idea into reality in recent years. Eventually, the X-ray communication demonstration system based on the grid-controlled X-ray source and microchannel plate detector can deliver both audio and video information in a 6-meter vacuum tunnel. The point is how to evaluate this space X-ray demonstration system in a typical experimental way. The method is to design a specific board to measure the relationship between bit-error-rate and emitting power against various communicating distances. In addition, the data should be compared with the calculation and simulation results to estimate the referred theoretical model. The concept of using X-ray as signal carriers is confirmed by our first generation X-ray communication demonstration system. Specifically, the method is to use grid-controlled emission source as a transceiver while implementing the photon counting detector which can be regarded as an important orientation of future deep-space X-ray communication applications. As the key specification of any given communication system, bit-error-rate level should be informed first. In addition, the theoretical analysis by using Poisson noise model also has been implemented to support this novel communication concept. Previous experimental results indicated that the X-ray audio demonstration system requires a 10&lt;sup&gt;-4&lt;/sup&gt; bit-error-rate level with 25 kbps communication rate. The system bit-error-rate based on on-off keying (OOK) modulation is calculated and measured, which corresponds to the theoretical calculation commendably. Another point that should be taken into consideration is the emitting energy, which is the main restriction of current X-ray communication system. The designed experiment shows that the detected X-ray energy is 7 &times; 10&lt;sup&gt;-5&lt;/sup&gt; mW/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;. This relatively low power level not only restricts the bit rate of transceiver, but also increases the error fraction to some extent. Obviously, OOK modulation can meet the high communication rate and relatively low bit-error-rate requirement of current audio demo system. Current restriction has been pointed out and the potential improvement is also presented. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Physical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:According to the demands of an array detector in the X-ray pulsar navigation system for Micro-channel Plate (MCP), a selection method for the MCP was explored. Four key parameters for the selection of MCPs, the uniformity of gain, impedance matching, dark count rate and the gain coefficient were determined. Based on the four key parameters, corresponding experiments were designed and the selection process of MCPs was set out. The amplitudes and counting rates of MCPs selected by proposed method were tested. The tested results show that the relative error of each detection unit is not identical. When a single channel anode is used, the ranges of the maximum relative error &Delta;&lt;inf&gt;1i&lt;/inf&gt; and minimum relative error &Delta;&lt;inf&gt;2i&lt;/inf&gt; of the amplitudes for output signals from the ith anode are 7%-13.5% and 3%-6.7%, respectively, and when a four-channel anode is used, &Delta;&lt;inf&gt;1i&lt;/inf&gt; and &Delta;&lt;inf&gt;2i&lt;/inf&gt; are 7.8% and 3.1%, respectively. Moreover, the relative error between the anode count rate n&lt;inf&gt;1&lt;/inf&gt;+n&lt;inf&gt;2&lt;/inf&gt;+n&lt;inf&gt;3&lt;/inf&gt;+n&lt;inf&gt;4&lt;/inf&gt; from the single channel and N from the four-channel shared anode is 4.38%, less than 10%. Obtained results indicate that the MCPs with good performance have been effectively chosen by the proposed selection method. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Academy of Sciences. All right reserved.

Abstract:Picosecond laser is an important machining technology for high hardness materials. In this paper, high power picosecond laser was utilized to drill micro-holes in C/SiC composites, and the effects of different processing parameters including the helical line width and spacing, machining time and scanning speed were discussed. To characterize the qualities of machined holes, scanning electron microscope (SEM) was used to analyze the surface morphology, energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray photoelectric spectroscopy (XPS) were employed to describe the element composition change between the untreated and laser-treated area. The experimental results indicated that all parameters mentioned above had remarkable effects on the qualities of micro-holes such as shape and depth. Additionally, the debris consisted of C, Si and O was observed on the machined surface. The SiC bonds of the SiC matrix transformed into SiO bonds after machined. Furthermore, the physical process responsible for the mechanism of debris formation was discussed as well. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:Anomaly detection has been an important topic in hyperspectral image analysis. This technique is sometimes more preferable than the supervised target detection because it requires no a priori information for the interested materials. Many efforts have been made in this topic; however, they usually suffer from excessive time cost and a high false-positive rate. There are two major problems that lead to such a predicament. First, the construction of the background model and affinity estimation are often overcomplicated. Second, most of these methods have to impose a stringent assumption on the spectrum distribution of background; however, these assumptions cannot hold for all practical situations. Based on this consideration, this paper proposes a novel method allowing for fast yet accurate pixel-level hyperspectral anomaly detection. We claim the following main contributions: 1) construct a high-order 2-D crossing approach to find the regions of rapid change in the spectrum, which runs without any a priori assumption; and 2) design a low-complexity discrimination framework for fast hyperspectral anomaly detection, which can be implemented by a series of filtering operators with linear time cost. Experiments on three different hyperspectral images containing several pixel-level anomalies demonstrate the superiority of the proposed detector compared with the benchmark methods. &copy; 2014 IEEE.

Abstract:Color constancy is an important problem in machine vision and image processing fields. We propose a new method in this paper that is based on detail information description to estimate the chromaticity of the light source and restore the real color property of captured images. The main idea of the proposed approach is that according to human vision characteristics use the interest information in an image to estimate the lighting condition of real scene. To approve the proposed method, two well-known algorithms are selected and their contrast results are also presented. It is shown in this paper that the proposed approach performs better than other traditional methods for color constancy most of the time. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Change detection is one of the most important open topics for multi-temporal remote sensing technology to observe the earth. Recently, many methods are proposed to detect the land-cover change information by multi-temporal hyperspectral images. However, many existing traditional change detection methods failed to utilize the spectral information effectively. Hence the models are not robust enough for more widely applications with "noise" bands. In this case, a semi-supervised distance metric learning method is proposed to detect the change areas by abundant spectral information of hyperspectral image under the "noisy" condition. This paper focuses on semi-supervised change detection method, and proposes a new distance metric learning framework for change detection in "noisy" condition with three mainly contributions: (1) Distance metric learning is demonstrated to be an effective method for revealing the change information by high spectral features. (2) An evolution regular framework is utilized to handle change detection under a "noisy" condition without removing any noise bands, which is impacted by atmosphere (or water) and always removed manually in other literatures. (3) A semi-supervised Laplacian Regularized Metric Learning method is exploited to tackle the ill-posed sample problem, and large unlabeled data is exploited in our method. The proposed method is performed on two multi-temporal hyperspectral datasets. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art change detection methods under both "ideal" and "noisy" conditions. &copy; 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:By simultaneously employing electro-optic (EO) modulator and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) in a doubly Q-switched mode-locked (QML) Nd:Lu<inf>0.5</inf>Y<inf>0.5</inf>VO<inf>4</inf>/KTP laser, a low repetition rate subnanosecond Nd:Lu<inf>0.5</inf>Y<inf>0.5</inf>VO<inf>4</inf>/KTP green laser with high peak power is presented. Since the repetition rate of this pulsed green laser is controlled by the EO modulator, highly stable laser pulses with low repetition rates of 1-5 kHz are obtained. As the pulse duration of this laser depends on the mode-locked pulse width underneath the Q-switched envelope, subnanosecond green laser pulses with high peak power can be generated. The average output powers, pulse widths as well as peak powers versus incident pump power under different repetition rates are measured. The shortest pulse duration of 415 ps and the highest pulse energy of 424 &mu;J are obtained at the repetition rate of 1 kHz, corresponding to a peak power of as high as 1022 kW. The experimental results show that the dual-loss modulation technology with EO and MWCNT in QML laser is an efficient method in generating low repetition rate subnanosecond pulse green laser. &copy; 1995-2012 IEEE.

Abstract:Abnormal behavior detection in crowd scenes is continuously a challenge in the field of computer vision. For tackling this problem, this paper starts from a novel structure modeling of crowd behavior. We first propose an informative structural context descriptor (SCD) for describing the crowd individual, which originally introduces the potential energy function of particle's interforce in solid-state physics to intuitively conduct vision contextual cueing. For computing the crowd SCD variation effectively, we then design a robust multi-object tracker to associate the targets in different frames, which employs the incremental analytical ability of the 3-D discrete cosine transform (DCT). By online spatial-temporal analyzing the SCD variation of the crowd, the abnormality is finally localized. Our contribution mainly lies on three aspects: 1) the new exploration of abnormal detection from structure modeling where the motion difference between individuals is computed by a novel selective histogram of optical flow that makes the proposed method can deal with more kinds of anomalies; 2) the SCD description that can effectively represent the relationship among the individuals; and 3) the 3-D DCT multi-object tracker that can robustly associate the limited number of (instead of all) targets which makes the tracking analysis in high density crowd situation feasible. Experimental results on several publicly available crowd video datasets verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. &copy; 2014 IEEE.

Abstract:Secure optical communication technologies are important means to solve the physical layer security for optical network. We present a scheme of secure optical communication system by all-optical signal processing technique. The scheme consists of three parts, as all-optical signal processing unit, optical key sequence generator, and synchronous control unit. In the paper, all-optical signal processing method is key technology using all-optical exclusive disjunction (XOR) gate based on optical cross-gain modulation effect, has advantages of wide dynamic range of input optical signal, simple structure and so on. All-optical XOR gate composed of two semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) is a symmetrical structure. By controlling injection current, input signal power, delay and filter bandwidth, the extinction ratio of XOR can be greater than 8dB. Finally, some performance parameters are calculated and the results are analyzed. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method can be achieved over 10Gbps optical signal encryption and decryption, which is simple, easy to implement, and error-free diffusion. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:The optical index modulation was theoretically estimated and demonstrated under short X-ray excitation in low-temperature-grown GaAs (LT_GaAs). Hot-electron thermalization time &lt;1 ps, carrier recombination time &lt;2 ps and the duration of the index perturbation was determined by the carrier recombination time which was of orde r-2 ps in LT_GaAs with a high density of recombination defects. Predictions of radiation-induced changed in the optical refractive index were in reasonably good agreement with the limited experimental data available, suggesting that LT_GaAs was a highly promising material for high speed single transient ionizing radiation detector. &copy;, 2015, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

Abstract:In order to achieve the high-precision measurement of glass internal stress, a new method of magneto-optical modulation was proposed, and the system of internal stress measurement based on the magneto-optical modulation was established. First, measurement model of the system was derived according to the Mueller matrix description method of polarized light, by using separation of the direct current, fundamental frequency and the second harmonic component of detected signals, and "normalized" approach, the impact of the light source intensity fluctuation on the measurement result was eliminated. The direction of glass internal stress and the size of stress birefringence values were received by processing the respective signal components. By measuring the glass at different positions, the validity of the method is verified, and the measurement accuracy of internal stress direction is 5&Prime;, the measurement accuracy of stress birefringence value is below 0.5 nm/cm. This system has high stability and high accuracy. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics. All right reserved.

Abstract:We investigate the tracking of 2-D human poses in a video stream to determine the spatial configuration of body parts in each frame, but this is not a trivial task because people may wear different kinds of clothing and may move very quickly and unpredictably. The technology of pose estimation is typically applied, but it ignores the temporal context and cannot provide smooth, reliable tracking results. Therefore, we develop a tracking and estimation integrated model (TEIM) to fully exploit temporal information by integrating pose estimation with visual tracking. However, joint parsing of multiple articulated parts over time is difficult, because a full model with edges capturing all pairwise relationships within and between frames is loopy and intractable. In previous models, approximate inference was usually resorted to, but it cannot promise good results and the computational cost is large. We overcome these problems by exploring the idea of divide and conquer, which decomposes the full model into two much simpler tractable submodels. In addition, a novel two-step iteration strategy is proposed to efficiently conquer the joint parsing problem. Algorithmically, we design TEIM very carefully so that: 1) it enables pose estimation and visual tracking to compensate for each other to achieve desirable tracking results; 2) it is able to deal with the problem of tracking loss; and 3) it only needs past information and is capable of tracking online. Experiments are conducted on two public data sets in the wild with ground truth layout annotations, and the experimental results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed TEIM framework. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:Sequential speckle illumination has been incorporated into digital holographic microscopy (DHM) for autofocusing and resolution enhancement. For autofocusing, the image plane is numerically determined by searching for the minimal deviation among the reconstructed images obtained by different speckle illuminations and propagating the object wave to the image plane accordingly. Furthermore, an iterative method is used to synthesize the numerical aperture from the reconstructed object waves obtained by different speckle illuminations, in order to achieve resolution enhancement. The feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated by both simulation and experiment. &copy; 2015 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract:In order to obtain high quality image of the aero optical remote sensor, it is important to analysis its thermal-optical performance on the condition of high speed and high altitude. Especially for the key imaging assembly, such as optical window, the temperature variation and temperature gradient can result in defocus and aberrations in optical system, which will lead to the poor quality image. In order to improve the optical performance of a high speed aerial camera optical window, the thermal/structural/optical integrated design method is developed. Firstly, the flight environment of optical window is analyzed. Based on the theory of aerodynamics and heat transfer, the convection heat transfer coefficient is calculated. The temperature distributing of optical window is simulated by the finite element analysis software. The maximum difference in temperature of the inside and outside of optical window is obtained. Then the deformation of optical window under the boundary condition of the maximum difference in temperature is calculated. The optical window surface deformation is fitted in Zernike polynomial as the interface, the calculated Zernike fitting coefficients is brought in and analyzed by CodeV Optical Software. At last, the transfer function diagrams of the optical system on temperature field are comparatively analyzed. By comparing and analyzing the result, it can be obtained that the optical path difference caused by thermal deformation of the optical window is 149.6 nm, which is under PV &le;1 4&lambda;.The simulation result meets the requirements of optical design very well. The above study can be used as an important reference for other optical window designs. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Imaging systems with high temporal resolution are needed to study rapid physical phenomena ranging from shock waves, including extracorporeal shock waves used for surgery, to diagnostics of laser fusion and fuel injection in internal combustion engines. However, conventional streak cameras use a vacuum tube making thus fragile, cumbersome and expensive. Here we report an CMOS streak camera project consists in reproducing completely this streak camera functionality with a single CMOS chip. By changing the mode of charge transfer of CMOS image sensor, fast photoelectric diagnostics of single point with linear CMOS and high-speed line scanning with array CMOS sensor can be achieved respectively. A fast photoelectric diagnostics system has been designed and fabricated to investigate the feasibility of this method. Finally, the dynamic operation of the sensors is exposed. Measurements show a sample time of 500 ps and a time resolution better than 2 ns.. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Recently, a new kind of optical zooming technique in which no moving elements are involved has been paid much attention. The elimination of moving elements makes optical zooming suitable for applications which has exacting requirements in space, power cost and system stability. The mobile phone and the space-borne camera are two typical examples. The key to realize non-moving elements optical zooming lies in the introduction of variable curvature mirror (VCM) whose radius of curvature could be changed dynamically. When VCM is about to be used to implement optical zoom imaging, two characteristics should be ensured. First, VCM has to provide large enough saggitus variation in order to obtain a big magnification ratio. Second, after the radius of curvature has been changed, the corresponding surface figure accuracy should still be maintained superior to a threshold level to make the high quality imaging possible. In this manuscript, based on the elasticity theory, the physical model of the annular force based variable curvature mirror is established and numerically analyzed. The results demonstrate that when the annular force is applied at the half-the-aperture position, the actuation force is reduced and a smaller actuation force is required to generate the saggitus variation and thus the maintenance of surface figure accuracy becomes easier during the variation of radius of curvature. Besides that, a prototype VCM, whose diameter and thickness are 100mm and 3mm respectively, have been fabricated and the maximum saggitus variation that could be obtained approaches more than 30 wavelengths. At the same time, the degradation of surface figure accuracy is weakly correlated to the curvature radius variation. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:By using femtosecond laser with repetition frequency of 50 kHz, center wavelength of 790 nm, and pulse width of 140 fs, double line waveguides are inscribed in Yb&lt;sup&gt;3+&lt;/sup&gt; doped phosphate glass. The influences of double-line separation, laser pulse energy and writing speed on the waveguide formation are investigated and the near-field modes of waveguides written by different laser parameters are measured. The experimental results show that the waveguide has good property of guiding under the writing conditions of double-line separation of 35 mm, pulse energy of 1.0 mJ and scanning speed of 600 mm/s. By using near-field mode, bivariate distribution of the waveguide refractive index is reconstructed with the maximum refractive index change of 1.5&times;10&lt;sup&gt;-4&lt;/sup&gt;. The propagation loss of the waveguide is 1.56 dB/cm by testing with the scattering technique. The phenomenon of polarization guiding is discovered from the waveguide. The waveguide can guide the laser with polarization parallel to the direction of double line and the laser with polarization perpendicular to the direction of double line cannot be guided. &copy;, 2015, Science Press.

Abstract:As the space remote sensing technology progresses, the developing trend of telescope is larger and larger aperture, higher and higher resolution. An Optical system with the relative aperture of 1:2 is introduced. The primary optical properties are: focal length of 120mm, F number of 2, field angle of 7.4&deg;. It has the advantages of large high resolution, small size and excellent image quality. Several kinds of aberration curves and the MTF curve are given. Its imaging quality is nearly diffraction limited so that the spatial frequency is greater than 70lp/mm when its modulated transfer function (MTF) value of the optical system is equal to 0.8,and the optical system distortion is less than 1%. At last, the stray light is analyzed and the baffle of the telescope is designed. The solid model of the Optical system was constructed in Tracepro software, the point sources transmittance (PST) cure was given at different off-axis angle between 7.4&deg;&sim;80&deg;&iuml;1/4&OElig;the analysis result indicates that the PST values are less than 10-6 when off-axis angle are larger than soar critical angle. So the system is suitable for observation or photography of deep sky objects. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:In order to settle the problem of quantitativly estimating ratio of detector noise and analyse whether detecoror noise is the main noise in laser coherent field imaging system, a novel method of quantitative analysis detector noise ratio was proposed. The Signalt-to-Noise (SNR) of the system was given by photoelectron statistics method, and estimating equation of SNR intermediate parameter was derived. A quantitative ratio model of detector noise to total noise was established by SNR equation and estimating equation of SNR intermediate parameter. The ratio model was tested and verified by theory analysis and experiment. The results show that in the specific experiment table, detector noise is about 52% of the total noise. Because the experiment was accomplished at night, turbulence noise and background noise had the least influence on the system, detector noise was the main noise source. The conclusion was acquired that the proposed metod can accurately and effectively estimate detector noise ratio to total noise and has the advantage of simplicity and effectiveness. It can be widely applied in quantitative analysing and measuring of detector noise in laser coherent imaging system. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:The stray light characteristics of different catadioptric ground-based photoelectric detection system were analyzed. The relevant stray light suppression ways were discussed. Based on structure with middle image surface and the other one without middle image surface, two different suppression schemes for the stray light were provided respectively. Besides, the thermal radiation for the long wave infrared system was analyzed. The results show that adding out baffle to the catadioptric system without middle image surface can do well obviously in reducing stray light with large off-axis angles. However, adding stops and the inner baffle of primary mirror to the catadioptric system with middle image surface can reduce the outer stray light obviously. This can reduce the length and weight greatly. If the thermal radiation demand can be satisfied, the miniaturization and lightweight design had been realized. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics. All right reserved.

Abstract:Three types of pulses are experimentally investigated in a switchable normal-dispersion nanotube-mode-locked fiber laser by adjusting polarizer controller and pump power. They are a standard dissipative-soliton (DS), conventional soliton (CS)-like pulse, and noiselike pulse, which correspond to three mode-locking states. The standard DS with a rectangular spectrum possesses a Gaussian-shape pulse. The CS-like operation has a Lorenz shape, and the spectrum involves several sidebands similar to the CS case. For the noiselike pulse with a bell-shaped spectrum, a 317 fs peak rides upon the 132.5 ps pedestal in the autocorrelation trace. The spectra of these three pulse operations are centered at three close wavelengths. The generation of three such different types of pulses in one identical normal- dispersion laser cavity may find an important application for the future of mode-locked laser research. &copy; 2015 Astro Ltd.

Abstract:The fine pointing mechanism of the Acquisition, Pointing and Tracking (APT) system in free space laser communication usually use four-quadrant detector (QD) to point and track the laser beam accurately. The positioning precision of QD is one of the key factors of the pointing accuracy to APT system. A positioning system is designed based on FPGA and DSP in this paper, which can realize the sampling of AD, the positioning algorithm and the control of the fast swing mirror. We analyze the positioning error of facular center calculated by universal algorithm when the facular energy obeys Gauss distribution from the working principle of QD. A database is built by calculation and simulation with MatLab software, in which the facular center calculated by universal algorithm is corresponded with the facular center of Gaussian beam, and the database is stored in two pieces of E²PROM as the external memory of DSP. The facular center of Gaussian beam is inquiry in the database on the basis of the facular center calculated by universal algorithm in DSP. The experiment results show that the positioning accuracy of the high-precision positioning system is much better than the positioning accuracy calculated by universal algorithm. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:A high speed random number generator based on digitizing bandwidth-enhanced chaotic laser signal is proposed and demonstrated. In order to remove the weak periodicity in optical feedback chaotic semiconductor laser signal, the optical feedback chaotic semiconductor laser is injected into another semiconductor laser to obtain a bandwidth-enhanced chaotic laser signal. The bandwidth-enhanced chaotic laser signal is converted using an 8-bit high speed analog-to-digital convertor to achieve generating multi bits by each sampling point. In order to remove the bias existing in original extracted random bits and improve the efficiency of random bit generation, fieldprogrammable gate array based secure hash algorithm 256 is proposed to extract random bit. Due to the use of 4-channel parallel processing technology, online random number generation rate of 2.94 Gbit/s is obtained and each sample could produce average 4.65 random bits. The obtained random numbers pass all the tests in random testing program of ENT and STS. &copy; 2015, Chinese Laser Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:The article presents a new method to detect small moving targets in space surveillance. Image sequences are processed to detect and track targets under the assumption that the data samples are spatially registered. Maximum value projection and normalization are performed to reduce the data samples and eliminate the background clutter. Targets are then detected through connected component analysis. The velocities of the targets are estimated by centroid localization and least squares regression. The estimated velocities are utilized to track the targets. A sliding neighborhood operation is performed prior to target detection to significantly reduce the computation while preserving as much target information as possible. Actual data samples are acquired to test the proposed method. Experimental results show that the method can efficiently detect small moving targets and track their traces accurately. The centroid locating precision and tracking accuracy of the method are within a pixel. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Space sensors are used in navigation sensor fields. The sun, the earth, the moon and other planets are used as frame of reference to obtain stellar position coordinates, and then to control the attitude of an aircraft. Being the"eyes"of the space sensors, Optical sensor system makes images of the infinite far stars and other celestial bodies. It directly affects measurement accuracy of the space sensor, indirectly affecting the data updating rate. Star sensor technology is the pilot for Space sensors. At present more and more attention is paid on all-day star sensor technology. By day and night measurements of the stars, the aircraft's attitude in the inertial coordinate system can be provided. Facing the requirements of ultra-high-precision, large field of view, wide spectral range, long life and high reliability, multi-functional optical system, we integration, integration optical sensors will be future space technology trends. In the meantime, optical technologies for space-sensitive research leads to the development of ultra-precision optical processing, optical and precision test machine alignment technology. It also promotes the development of long-life optical materials and applications. We have achieved such absolute distortion better than &plusmn;1um, Space life of at least 15years of space-sensitive optical system. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:This article presents a novel indexing framework called EMIF (Effective Music Indexing Framework) to facilitate scalable and accurate content based music retrieval. EMIF system architecture is designed based on a "classification-and-indexing" principle and consists of two main functionality layers: 1) a novel semantic-sensitive classification to identify input music's category and 2) multiple indexing structures - one local indexing structure corresponds to one semantic category. EMIF's layered architecture not only enables superior search accuracy but also reduces query response time significantly. To evaluate the system, a set of comprehensive experimental studies have been carried out using large test collection and EMIF demonstrates promising performance over state-of-theart approaches. &copy; Copyright 2015 ACM.

Abstract:Recently, the wind field in the altitude range 25-60 km is still poorly monitored in real time, therefore the 60 km mobile Rayleigh wind lidar based on a Fabry-Perot etalon was developed for wind measurement. The overall structure of this lidar system was described in detail. The design of the subsystems of this lidar was indroduced elaborately. In order to improve the accuracy of wind measurement, experiment was designed to calibrate the transmission curves of FPI, and the calibration method was presented. The transmission curves of FPI were calibrated experimentally, and the standard deviations for parameters of FPI are less than 0.06 in the calibrated experiments. The developed lidar has observed the wind of 15-60 km altitudes over Delingha, and wind velocity and direction profiles were obtained. Observations of lidar were compared with the rawinsondes', and the compared result show good agreement between both measurements. Measure error was calculated, wind velocity and direction errors of the measurements are less than 4 m/s and 6&deg; respectively when it is lower than 40 km. They are less than 8 m/s and 18&deg; when it is higher than 40 km. Wind observations demonstrate that the lidar has the expected good performances. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics.

Abstract:An ordinary space optical remote sensing camera is an optical diffraction-limited system and a low-pass filter from the theory of Fourier Optics, and all the digital imaging sensors, whether the CCD or CMOS, are low-pass filters as well. Therefore, when the optical image with abundant high-frequency components passes through an optical imaging system, the profuse middle-frequency information is attenuated and the rich high-frequency information is lost, which will blur the remote sensing image. In order to overcome this shortcoming of the space optical remote sensing camera, an online compensating approach of the Modulation Transfer Function in the space cameras is designed. The designed method was realized by a hardware analog circuit placed before the A/D converter, which was composed of adjustable low-pass filters with a calculated value of quality factor Q. Through the adjustment of the quality factor Q of the filters, the MTF of the processed image is compensated. The experiment results display that the realized compensating circuit in a space optical camera is capable of improving the MTF of an optical remote sensing imaging system 30% higher than that of no compensation. This quantized principle can efficiently instruct the MTF compensating circuit design in practice. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:In this paper, we consider a point to point full duplex (FD) MIMO communication system. We assume that each node is equipped with an arbitrary number of antennas which can be used for transmission or reception. With FD radios, bidirectional information exchange between two nodes can be achieved at the same time. In this paper, we design bidirectional link selection schemes by selecting a pair of transmit and receive antenna at both ends for communications in each direction to maximize the weighted sum rate or minimize the weighted sum symbol error rate (SER). The optimal selection schemes require exhaustive search, so they are highly complex. To tackle this problem, we propose a Serial-Max selection algorithm, which approaches the exhaustive search methods with much lower complexity. In the Serial-Max method, the antenna pairs with maximum 'obtainable SINR' at both ends are selected in a two-step serial way. The performance of the proposed Serial-Max method is analyzed, and the closed-form expressions of the average weighted sum rate and the weighted sum SER are derived. The analysis is validated by simulations. Both analytical and simulation results show that as the number of antennas increases, the Serial-Max method approaches the performance of the exhaustive-search schemes in terms of sum rate and sum SER. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:Full reference image quality assessment is very important for many image processing applications. The challenge of image quality assessment lies in two aspects: (1) formulating perceptual meaningful features and (2) finding a way to pool them into a single quality score. A novel two-step approach is proposed to address these problems. In the first step, sparse representations of local image patches are computed to simulate the low level characteristic of the human vision system (HVS) and represent the meaningful image structures. The differences between the representations of distorted and undistorted patches are utilized to measure the local distortion. In the second step, these local distortion measurements are fused into a single image quality score by using kernel ridge regression (KRR). Kernel ridge regression can mimic the complex high level behaviors of human vision system and is shown to be an effective way to learn the relationship between local quality measurements and quality score. The contributions of this paper would be summarized as follows: (1) extracting approximate perceptual meaningful features in image quality assessment is transformed as a sparse representation problem. In this case, the sparse representation coefficients can reflect the salient local structures and give local quality assessments. (2) The KRR is utilized to pool the local quality assessments into a single image quality score. Thus, the nonlinear relationship between the objective model outputs and the subjective quality ratings can be learned by exploiting the KRR. (3) Extensive experiments are conducted on six public databases. Compared with other approaches, the proposed approach has achieved the best performance, which demonstrates the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:For the time-variant property of bistatic angles in Receiver Centered Region Area in bistatic radar system, it's difficult to obtain high resolution ISAR image of target in by using the conventional imaging methods. The signal model for bistatic ISAR was presented, then the time-variant property of the bistatic angles and its influence on range envelope and azimuth was analyzed. A Radon-TCDS-Relax super-resolution imaging method was brought up for eliminate the effect from high-order azimuth terms of target motion model in receiver centered areas. The chirp rate and its changing rate corresponding to high-order phase terms in cross range was estimated by the proposed method. Scatterers extracting and imaging were achieved by Radon-TCDS-RELAX and TCD-RID respectively. Accuracy analysis and the experimental results with real data both demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this paper, a novel high-throughput implementation for video decoding based on H.264 is proposed to improve the decoding efficiency. H.264 provides many new functions than previous video coding algorithm that bring more complex computations, Therefore, How t implementation of the decoder efficiency becomes a challenging. Research shows in the decoding flow there are many data dependency among different symbols. Especially in the entropy decoding this dependence is most obvious. Thence the CAVLC decoder requires large computation time, which administrates the overall decoder system performance. In order to improve performance of CAVLC decoder, the CAVLC decoder procedure is first analyzed. This paper presents a one decoding procedure double level resolve design for H.264 CAVLC decoding. In the proposed design, we exploit a predict method to achieve double level decoding. Besides the implementation of heading one detector is based on statistical results to improve efficiency of the decoder. Emulation results show that the calculation operation period of the implementation architecture can be reduced about 28% compare with the tradition CAVLC architecture. The maximum frequency can be larger than 216 MHz.

Abstract:Silicon infiltrated silicon carbide (Si-SiC) ceramics, as high hardness materials, are difficult to machine, especially drilling micro-holes. In this study, the interaction of picosecond laser pulses (1 ps at 1 030 nm) with Si-SiC ceramics was investigated. Variations of the diameter and depth of circular holes with the growth of the laser energy density were obtained. The results indicate that the increase of machining depth follows a nonlinear relation with the increasing of laser energy density, while the diameter has little change with that. Moreover, it is found that some debris and particles are deposited around and inside the holes and waviness is in the entrance and at walls of the holes after laser processing. &copy; 2015, Wuhan University of Technology and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Using the rectangle-framed electrode and electric quadruple lens in the streak camera can reduce its space charge effect and shorten the space charge interaction time by improving electron accelerating voltage to minimize the electron transit time. Using a back-illuminated CCD, which is based on the electron bombardment readout technology as image device to replace the traditional intensified CCD can shorten the chain of image conversion and greatly reduce the image degradation in the conversion of ultrafast diagnostic equipment. The signal to noise ratio, spatial resolution and dynamic range of the streak camera may gain improvement. Experimental results show that the static spatial resolution is better than 35 lp/mm and the dynamic spatial resolution is up to 20 lp/mm. Deflection sensitivity is 60.76 mm/kV and dynamic range reaches 2094: 1. Nonlinear scanning speed is 5.04%. EBS gain of the streak camera can be over 3000. &copy;2015 Chinese Physical Society

Abstract:To realize the non-contact temperature monitoring of high voltage electrical equipment, a non-contact (0~1.5 m) fluorescence fiber temperature measurement system was designed. Using the relation between fluorescence and temperature of rare earth materials, temperature measurement was achieved by measuring the excited fluorescence lifetime of the fluorescent material which was attached on the object. The analysis indicates that the received light energy can be increased through adding a converging lens and a converging cone. In the experiment, the fluorescence intensity curve was obtained, and the temperature was aquired according to the relation of fluorescence lifetime and the temperature of the measured object. The measurement error is less than 1 , ensuring its application in high-voltage environment. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:A fiber-optic temperature sensor based on fluorescence intensity ratiometric (FIR) method is proposed and investigated experimentally. Plastic optical fibers are employed for transmitting the excitation light and collecting the Rhodamine B (RHB) and Rhodamine110 (RH110) fluorescence signals. Given that the fluorescence intensity of RHB is temperature-dependent while that of RH110 is temperature-independent, the temperature can be measured by calculating the fluorescence intensity ratio of these two dyes. To achieve a desired performance, the optimal integration ranges of fluorescence intensities of the two dyes are identified via considerable experimental tests. Indeed, a precise measurement is achieved in experiments. The feasible range of temperatures is from 25 to 60; a minimum rms temperature error of 0.38 and a sensitivity of 0.0134/ are achieved. Further, the proposed sensor is proved to be insensitive to fiber bending for bend radii exceeding 9 mm. Thus, the sensor can be used for in situ temperature monitoring. &copy;, 2015, Science Press.

Abstract:The panorama cameras onboard the Yutu Rover of the Chang'E-3 lunar mission acquired hundreds of high-resolution color images of the lunar surface and captured the first in situ lunar opposition effect (OE) since the Apollo era. We extracted the phase curve and the color ratio in three bands with the phase angle range from 2&deg; to 141&deg;. Photometric inversions using the Hapke model reveal that submicroscopic dusts are present in the landing area and both the coherent backscattering and the shadow hiding are responsible for the strong OE. Compared with spaceborne measurements, the grains in the landing site are brighter, more transparent, and appear to be better crystallized than the average maria basaltic grains. The results show that the phase-reddening effect appears to be present in the in situ phase curves. The current phase curve can be used as the ground-truth validations of any future spaceborne phase curve measurement over the landing site region. Key Points The first in situ lunar phase curve since the Apollo era covers phase angle range of 2-141&deg; Both shadow hiding and coherent backscattering contribute to the opposition surge Single-particle scattering has backward and forward scattering lobes and regolith porosity is obtained &copy; 2015.

First, the characteristics of the adjacent frames in video sequences has been analyzed, together with the modeling for the background information and updating background model according to the inter-frame variation. Second, the information of the moving target in the current frame is preliminarily extracted adopting the background subtraction algorithm, it achieves image segmentation and the division of the best detection area according to the imaging features of vehicles in different lanes by using morphological filtering and setting up the detection window. Then, model classification is done using the connected domain tags and template matching for vehicles in detection region. Finally, vehicle information each frame detects is counted by lanes. The experimental results present that the algorithm for dividing the best detection region segmentation image can reduce the miss rate and the false detection rate to the maximum extent. Meanwhile, the algorithm also has good detection accuracy for statistics of the traffic flow and classification of vehicles in video sequences. &copy;, 2015, Journal of Information and Computational Science.

Abstract:The design of nanosecond high-voltage ultra wide band bipolar pulse generator is shown in this paper. By analyzing the principle of the avalanche diode and doing the research of the related circuit acting on the pulse, this generator can generate a nanosecond high-voltage ultra wide band bipolar pulse, which its peak-to-peak voltage is about 400V and the pulse time width is 2ns. The experimental results showed a good agreement with the simulation results. A negative unipolar high-voltage pulse, having a fast falling-edge and a slowly exponential rising-edge, was firstly generated by the MARX circuit consist of the avalanche diodes. Then the use of the high speed avalanche diode could generate a negative unipolar high-voltage narrow Gaussian pulse, having a fast falling-edge and a fast rising-edge. In an attempt to cancel the reflection of the pulse made by the impedance mismatch, the circuit introduced the capacitor(C) and inductor(L) by calculating. Eventually a nanosecond high-voltage ultra wide band bipolar pulse could be got after going through the differentiator consist of introducing the right resistance, capacitance and inductance by calculation and experiment, and a filter with 2GHz bandwidth makes the bipolar smooth and perfect. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Although several algorithms have been presented to solve the simultaneous pose and correspondence estimation problem, the correct solution may not be reached to with the traditional random-start initialization method. In this paper, we derive a novel method which estimates the initial value based on genetic algorithm, considering the influences of different initial guesses comprehensively. First, a set of random initial guesses is generated as candidate solutions. Second, the assignment matrix and the perspective projection error are computed for each candidate solution. And then each individual is modified (selection, crossover, and mutation) in current iterative process. Finally, the fittest individual is stochastically selected from the final population. With the presented initialization method, the proper initial guess could be first calculated and then the simultaneous pose and correspondence estimation problem could be solved easily. Simulation results with synthetic data and experiments on real images prove the effectiveness and robustness of our proposed method. &copy; 2015 Haiwei Yang et al.

Abstract:High power diode lasers have increased application in many fields. In this work, a sophisticated high power and high performance conduction cooled diode laser stack has been developed for long pulse duration and high duty cycle using gold-tin (AuSn) bonding technology. The transient thermal behavior and optical simulation of the laser diode stack module are investigated to optimize the laser device structure. CTE-matched submount and AuSn hard solder are used for bonding the laser diode bar to achieve higher reliability and longer lifetime. Guided by the numerical simulation and analytical results, conduction cooled diode laser stack with high power, long pulse duration and high duty cycle is fabricated and characterized. Compared with the conventional indium bonding technology, the new design is a promising approach to obtain improved performance with high reliability and long lifetime. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:We report on the fabrication of tubular depressed cladding waveguides in single crystalline Yb:YAG by the direct femtosecond laser writing technique. Full control over the confined light spatial distribution is demonstrated by the photoinscription of high index contrast waveguides with tubular configuration. Under optical pumping, highly efficient laser oscillation in depressed cladding waveguide at 1030 nm is demonstrated. The maximum output power obtained is 68 mW with a slope efficiency of 35% for an outcoupling transmission of 50%. A slope efficiency as high as 44% is realized when the coupling output ratio is 91% and a low lasing threshold of 70 mW is achieved with the output coupling mirror of 10%. &copy; 2015 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract:The report firstly propose a new WS<inf>2</inf>absorber based on fluorine mica (FM) substrate. The WS<inf>2</inf>material was fabricated by thermal decomposition method. The FM was stripped into one single layer as thin as 20 &mu;m and deposited WS<inf>2</inf>on it, which can be attached to the fiber flank without causing the laser deviation. Similar to quartz, the transmission rate of FM is as high as 90% at near infrared wavelength from one to two micrometers. Furthermore, FM is a highly elastic material so that it is not easy to break off even its thickness was only 20 &mu;m. On the contrary, quartz is hard to be processed and easy to break off when its thickness is less than 100 &mu;m. Compared to organic matrix such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), FM has higher softening temperature, heat dissipation and laser damage threshold than those of organic composites. In our work, the modulation depth (MD) and non-saturable losses (NLs) of this kind of saturable absorber were measured to be 5.8% and 14.8%, respectively. The WS<inf>2</inf>/FM absorber has a high damage threshold of 406 MW/cm², two times higher than that of WS<inf>2</inf>/PVA. By incorporating the saturable absorber into Yb-doped fiber laser cavity, a mode-locked fiber laser was achieved with central wavelength of 1052.45 nm. The repetition rate was 23.26 MHz and the maximum average output power was 30 mW. The long term stability of working was proved to be good too. The results indicate that WS<inf>2</inf>/FM film is a practical nonlinear optical material for photonic applications. &copy;2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:In this study, anatase TiO<inf>2</inf>nanostructured films were successfully prepared via Ti foil-assisted hydrothermal synthesis method without any surfactants. With the increase of hydrothermal time from 3 to 12 h, the surface morphologies of the films changed from nanotubes to nanoflowers and the thickness of the films increased from 2.5 to 4.2 &mu;m. The nanoflowers were seated on a layer of oriented nanotubes and consisted of nanosheets. Both nanotubes and nanosheets were multi-walled, comprising interconnected [TiO<inf>6</inf>] octahedra. Ti foil and acid-treated Ti foil both formed pieces of thin films on the surface with nanotubes and nanoflowers, respectively. Photoelectrochemistry tests showed that the photocurrent response of the nanotube film was nearly 13.8 &mu;A/cm², which was approximately three times higher than that of nanoflowers film. This indicates that the nanotubes more successfully transferred electrons to the surface of the film as a result of nanotubes providing direct pathways for electrons from the point of injection to the Ti foil electrode. The ultraviolet (UV)-visible-near infrared (NIR) absorption spectra indicated that the nanotube film had a narrower band gap as compared to the nanoflower film. In other words, a relatively low hydrothermal treatment temperature or relatively short hydrothermal treatment time is better for preparing excellent photocurrent response films. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:Picosecond laser machining is an important modern technology for materials with high hardness. In this paper, micro-holes with several hundred micrometer diameter were drilled in SiC/SiC composite using picosecond laser, and the quality of the micro-holes under different machining parameters was investigated in detail. The results indicated that energy density and feeding speed had remarkable effect on the micro-hole quality. The roundness of the micro-holes on the laser entry side was rarely affected by energy density and feeding speed. However, the roundness of the micro-holes on the laser exit side and micro-hole diameters along processing direction were quite sensitive to the energy density and feeding speed. Feeding speed had little influence on the quality of drilling holes, except for more debris on the entry side with 11.2 &mu;m/s feeding speed. &copy; 2015 Springer-Verlag London

Abstract:A novel scheme for diagnosing sensor failures in a flight control system is presented. In the proposed scheme, a set of self-organizing fuzzy systems named as SAFISs are applied as the online approximators for recognizing the sensor outputs in order to determine the failure detection, identification and accommodation (FDIA). SAFIS is an online learning fuzzy system with concurrent structure and parameter learning. The rules of the SAFIS are added or deleted based on the input data without predefining them by trial and error. The efficiency of the proposed scheme is demonstrated by simulation examples where soft failures in the angular rate gyros are successfully diagnosed. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:We developed a novel algorithm to estimate bias fields from brain magnetic resonance (MR) images using a gradient-based method. The bias field is modeled as a multiplicative and slowly varying surface. We fit the bias field by a low-order polynomial. The polynomial's parameters are directly obtained by minimizing the sum of square errors between the gradients of MR images (both in the x-direction and y-direction) and the partial derivatives of the desired polynomial in the log domain. Compared to the existing retrospective algorithms, our algorithm combines the estimation of the gradient of the bias field and the reintegration of the obtained gradient polynomial together so that it is more robust against noise and can achieve better performance, which are demonstrated through experiments with both real and simulated brain MR images. &copy; 2009-2011 IEEE.

Abstract:The development decoding algorithms of two-dimensional cross strip anodes image readouts for applications in UV astronomy are described. We present results with Monte Carlo simulation by GEANT4 toolkit, the results show that when the cross strip anode period is 0.5mm and the electrode width is 0.4mm, the spatial resolution accuracy is sufficient to reach better than 5 &mu;m, the temporal resolution accuracy of the event detection can be as low as 100 ps. The influences of the cross strip detector parameters, such as the anode period, the width of anode fingers (electrode), the width of the charge footprint at the anode (determined by the distance and the field between the MCP and the anode), the gain of the MCP and equivalent noise charge (ENC) are also discussed. The development decoding algorithms and simulation results can be useful for the designing and performance improvement of future photon counting imaging detectors for UV Astronomy. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:We present a new method for tracking human pose by employing max-margin Markov models. Representing a human body by part-based models, such as pictorial structure, the problem of pose tracking can be modeled by a discrete Markov random field. Considering max-margin Markov networks provide an efficient way to deal with both structured data and strong generalization guarantees, it is thus natural to learn the model parameters using the max-margin technique. Since tracking human pose needs to couple limbs in adjacent frames, the model will introduce loops and will be intractable for learning and inference. Previous work has resorted to pose estimation methods, which discard temporal information by parsing frames individually. Alternatively, approximate inference strategies have been used, which can overfit to statistics of a particular data set. Thus, the performance and generalization of these methods are limited. In this paper, we approximate the full model by introducing an ensemble of two tree-structured sub-models, Markov networks for spatial parsing and Markov chains for temporal parsing. Both models can be trained jointly using the max-margin technique, and an iterative parsing process is proposed to achieve the ensemble inference. We apply our model on three challengeable data sets, which contains highly varied and articulated poses. Comprehensive experimental results demonstrate the superior performance of our method over the state-of-the-art approaches. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:Pedestrian detection is a crucial problem in human pose recovery and behavior analysis, especially in applications such as visual surveillance, robotics, and drive-assistance systems. Recently, most pedestrian detection approaches of machine learning and signal processing have achieved advanced performance in traditional natural images. However, there exists a limitation on the accuracy in pedestrian detection. The reason behind this is that supporting information for detecting pedestrian is limited. In fact, spectrum besides visible light can provide abundant discriminative information for pedestrian detection. Therefore, it is significative to exploit multi-spectral information for detection task. In this paper, a multi-spectral based pedestrian detection approach is proposed, which not only takes use of the information of red, green and blue (RGB) bands, but also incorporates the information of near-infrared spectrum into the detection process. Latent variable support vector machines (L-SVM) are employed to train the multi-spectral pedestrian detection model. Experiments are implemented on a new dataset containing 1826 multi-spectral image pairs. The experimental results illustrate that utilizing multi-spectral information achieves significant performance improvement in a pedestrian detection task compared with only using RGB information. &copy; 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:The report proposed a saturable absorber based on a D-shaped fiber embedded in a single-walled carbon nanotube solution. Such a saturable absorber solution method with a D-shaped fiber has the virtues of good antioxidant capacity, excellent scattering resistance, high heat dissipation, and high damage threshold. The nonsaturable loss of this kind of saturable absorber was evaluated to be 3%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the lowest value compared with other carbon nanotube saturable absorbers. By incorporating the saturable absorber into a Yb-doped fiber laser cavity, a mode-locked fiber laser was achieved with a central wavelength of 1054.16 nm. The repetition rate was 23 MHz with a signal-to-noise ratio of 60 dB, and the pulse duration was measured to be 194 ps. The long-term working stability of working is also good. The results indicated that the solution method with a D-shaped fiber possesses a potential for fiber laser stability applications. &copy; 2015 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Abstract:Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs) are usually utilized in multi-attribute decision making problems, providing an accurate description of incomplete and uncertain information. The existing IVIFN-based works mainly focus on either the prioritization relationship of attributes or both the importance and the ordered position of them. However, these aspects of attributes are all important in practical use and they should be simultaneously considered. To this end, this paper proposes an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy prioritized hybrid weighted aggregation (IVIF-PHWA) operator. The contribution of this paper is threefold: 1) A unit prioritized hybrid weighted aggregation (UPHWA) operator is proposed, which considers the prioritization relationship, the importance and the ordered position of attributes. 2) TheUPHWAoperator is extended into IVIF-PHWAoperator, whose properties are all investigated. These properties illustrate that the IVIF-PHWA operator can better deal with the incomplete and imprecise information. 3) This work develops an IVIF-PHWA operator-based multi-attribute decision making method to solve the decision making problems in IVIF environment. Finally, a practical example is provided to validate the efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed approach. &copy; 2015-IOS Press and the authors.

Abstract:Motion capture is an important technique with a wide range of applications in areas such as computer vision, computer animation, film production, and medical rehabilitation. Even with the professional motion capture systems, the acquired raw data mostly contain inevitable noises and outliers. To denoise the data, numerous methods have been developed, while this problem still remains a challenge due to the high complexity of human motion and the diversity of real-life situations. In this paper, we propose a data-driven-based robust human motion denoising approach by mining the spatialoral patterns and the structural sparsity embedded in motion data. We first replace the regularly used entire pose model with a much fine-grained partlet model as feature representation to exploit the abundant local body part posture and movement similarities. Then, a robust dictionary learning algorithm is proposed to learn multiple compact and representative motion dictionaries from the training data in parallel. Finally, we reformulate the human motion denoising problem as a robust structured sparse coding problem in which both the noise distribution information and the temporal smoothness property of human motion have been jointly taken into account. Compared with several state-of-the-art motion denoising methods on both the synthetic and real noisy motion data, our method consistently yields better performance than its counterparts. The outputs of our approach are much more stable than that of the others. In addition, it is much easier to setup the training dataset of our method than that of the other data-driven-based methods. &copy; 2013 IEEE.

Abstract:Based on a graphene oxide absorber mirror, the laser-diode pumped mode-locked Yb:Y<inf>2</inf>SiO<inf>5</inf> (Yb:YSO) laser was demonstrated for the first time. The laser generated pulses with pulse duration as short as ~763 fs and average output power of 700 mW at the central wavelength of 1059 nm. The corresponding peak power and energy of a single pulse were ~8.6 kW and ~7.4 nJ, respectively. To our best knowledge, this is the shortest bulk mode-locked laser based on graphene oxide.

Abstract:Defocused spot parameters of an optical system were measured by a testing system with CCD microscopic imaging quantitatively, and an evaluating method for the defocused spot parameters was designed. Firstly, the definitions of the defocused spot parameters including the diameter and the roundness were given. The connected region shaped by the energy contour of the defocused spots was analyzed, and the diameter equal to the area which is 80% of the total energy of the defocused spots was calculated. Then, the boundary of the region was fitted as an ellipse and the roundness of defocused spot was obtained. The method introduces the ellipse fit into the defocused spot roundness measurement through analysis of the energy distribution of star point image on image plane, so that the effects of CCD noise and stray light in test environment on the measuring results are reduced and the confidence of the test results is improved. The experimental results show that the repeatability of the diameter is 0.18 &mu;m and that of the roundness is 1.65%. The method meets the needs of the optical systems in space projects for the imaging quality control. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Academy of Sciences. All right reserved.

Abstract:Fast and accurate detection of circle is a challenging computer vision problem [1]. This paper takes fully advantages of circle good symmetry to calculate the midpoints of adjacent edge points in the horizontal direction. Based on the sine function reflected by the y coordinate values of midpoints and distance value l from the midpoints to the origin O and the cosine function reflected by the x coordinate values of midpoints and l, the midpoints are projected to parameter space. The main contributions of our work are threefold. 1) The problem of circle detection is formulated as sine curve and cosine curve detection. 2) The abundant phase information carried by trigonometric functions avoids the large amount calculation of Hough Transform. 3) A probabilistic scheme to recognize phase range is applied to circle detection. 1548-7741/Copyright &copy; 2015 Binary Information Press

Abstract:The dynamic response of optical resonant cavity has been theoretically studied, by taking resonant cavity as a linear and time invariant system and through the approach of Signal Processing. The mathematical description obtained could fit any form of light waves. From the perspective of Signal Processing, the traditional pulse and continues wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy could be considered as observation of impulse response and step response respectively. Furthermore, the cavity response to the light-wave linearly frequency chirped has been studied, in the condition of slow chirp. The Fourier analysis of light power passed through cavity has been made and an analytic description has been given, which reveals the fact that the signal spectrum of light power is related to the absorption spectrum of material inside cavity. Based on this theoretic analysis, a new approach of cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy has been put forward, called Frequency Domain Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy. The result would facilitates the research of cavity enhanced spectroscopy techniques, as well others using resonant cavity, such as P-D-H laser frequency stabilization. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:Because the scale, horizontal and vertical coordinates of an object in an image are arbitrary, so object detection can be viewed as a process of searching the object in the 3D space spanned by the scale, horizontal, and vertical factors. Traditional sliding window based method has to exhaustively search and check the 3D space, resulting in prohibitive computation cost. To deal with this problem, in this paper, we propose to explore both the scaling capacity and translation capacity of object detector to accelerate detection speed, without loss of detection accuracy. In our paradigm, scaling capacity can relieve the use of all possible sizes of templates at the first stage, i.e.; only a few number of templates that can cover a large range of target object size are used to coarsely find the targets. Similarly, translation capacity can avoid dense grid sampling at the very beginning. After initial estimation, further evaluations with templates of finer scales are carried out around the candidates to verify the existence of target objects. Moreover, different from traditional uniform grid scanning, we present an interlaced scanning method called diamond grid scanning which can reduce redundant evaluation. Experimental results on face detection demonstrate the advantage of our method. &copy; 2014 Elsevier B.V.

The modulation depth of this kind of saturable absorber was measured to be 8.4%. By incorporating a Bi<inf>2</inf>Te<inf>3</inf>/PVA film into a Yb-doped fiber laser oscillator, a mode-locked fiber laser oscillator was achieved. The repetition rate and the central wavelength are 25.6 MHz and 1052.7 nm, respectively. The 3-dB spectral width is 0.45 nm and the pulse duration is 417 ps.

Abstract:In order to ensure the imaging resolution of aerial camera and compensating defocusing caused by the changing of atmospheric temperature, pressure, oblique photographing distance and other environmental factor [1,2], and to meeting the overall design requirements of the camera for the lower mass and smaller size, the linear focusing mechanism is designed. Through the target surface support, the target surface component is connected with focusing driving mechanism. Make use of precision ball screws, focusing mechanism transforms the input rotary motion of motor into linear motion of the focal plane assembly. Then combined with the form of linear guide restraint movement, the magnetic encoder is adopted to detect the response of displacement. And the closed loop control is adopted to realize accurate focusing. This paper illustrated the design scheme for a focusing mechanism and analyzed its error sources. It has the advantages of light friction and simple transmission chain and reducing the transmission error effectively. And this paper also analyses the target surface by finite element analysis and lightweight design. Proving that the precision of focusing mechanism can achieve higher than 3um, and the focusing range is &plusmn;2mm. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Anomaly detection has been an important topic in hyperspectral image analysis. This technique is sometimes more preferable than the supervised target detection because it requires no a priori information for the interested materials. Many efforts have been made in this topic; however, they usually suffer from excessive time cost and a high false-positive rate. There are two major problems that lead to such a predicament. First, the construction of the background model and affinity estimation are often overcomplicated. Second, most of these methods have to impose a stringent assumption on the spectrum distribution of background; however, these assumptions cannot hold for all practical situations. Based on this consideration, this paper proposes a novel method allowing for fast yet accurate pixel-level hyperspectral anomaly detection. We claim the following main contributions: 1) construct a high-order 2-D crossing approach to find the regions of rapid change in the spectrum, which runs without any a priori assumption; and 2) design a low-complexity discrimination framework for fast hyperspectral anomaly detection, which can be implemented by a series of filtering operators with linear time cost. Experiments on three different hyperspectral images containing several pixel-level anomalies demonstrate the superiority of the proposed detector compared with the benchmark methods. &copy; 2014 IEEE.

Abstract:In this study we analyze one of a CFD for timing discrimination. Walk error, drift and precision are the three performance parameters of timing discrimination. The walk error is the most important error type generally. Firstly, we divided the waveform into two types. One is the Gaussian waveform distribution which has three parameters: Amplitude, mean, and the pulse width; and the other is Rayleigh waveform distribution which has two parameters: mean and pulse. We analyzed different situations with their changing parameter, and the drift value of time can be obtained for each parameter changing. &copy;2015 SPIE.

Abstract:By simultaneously using a multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) and a monolayer graphene saturable absorber (SA) in the cavity, a laser-diode-pumped dual-loss-modulated passively Q-switched Tm:LuAG laser at 2&nbsp;&mu;m is demonstrated for the first time. In comparison with the singly passively Q-switched laser with MWCNT or monolayer graphene SA, the doubly passively Q-switched laser with both MWCNT and monolayer graphene SA can generate shorter pulse width and higher peak power. A maximum pulse width compression ratio of 2.8 and a highest peak power enhancement factor of 4 were obtained at the incident pump power of 5.8&nbsp;W, respectively. The experimental results show that the dual-loss modulation is an efficient method to compress the pulse widths and improve the peak powers of the Q-switched lasers at 2&nbsp;&mu;m. &copy; 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Abstract:Based on the Kundu&ndash;Eckhaus equation with variable coefficients, the exact one-soliton and two-soliton solutions have been explicitly given by an appropriate similarity transformation method. As an example, an exponential distributed fiber control system, nonlinearity management system and dispersion management system have been considered, and the propagation characteristics of the exact soliton solutions in the three nonuniform management systems have been investigated in detail. Especially, the dynamic properties of the amplitude, pulse width and the central position of the soliton with transmission distance have been studied. The results have some guiding significance for soliton amplification, compression and control management, and can provide some theoretical analysis for carrying out optical soliton communication experiment. &copy; 2014, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.

Abstract:The optical system design of a new dual-spectrum autocollimator which can measure two different spatial azimuths simultaneously is proposed. According to the principle of dual-spectrum autocollimator, ZEMAX software is used to design and optimize the optical system. Since two light sources with different wavelength are used in the autocollimator, chromatic aberration is required to reduce off in the optical system design. The experimental results demonstrate that the measuring range of the dual-spectrum autocollimator is up to &plusmn;30', the deviation is less than 1a3, and the resolution can reach 0.1. The designed autocollimator can simultaneously measure two different azimuths fastly and accurately. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:An optical fiber temperature sensor using two fluorescent dyes based on Fluorescence Intensity Ratiometric (FIR) method was proposed. In experiment, Rhodamine B and Rhodamine 110, which were temperature-sensitive and temperature-insensitive respectively, acted as the sensing materials. Polymer optical fibers were utilized to transmit excitation light and collect emitted fluorescence. The two dyes- fluorescence spectra could be separated conveniently since their respective emission peaks were 60 nm apart. The optimal spectral intervals of RH110 and RHB for FIR were identified. By calculating the fluorescence intensity ratio of the two dyes, the calibration curves of intensities ratios vs temperature were obtained with good linearity. The effects of different concentrations of fluorophore on the calibration curves were also studied. When the concentrations of dyes were 0.3 g/L, a minimum rms temperature error of 0.28 and a sensitivity of 0.0128/ were achieved. Moreover, the influences of illumination source-s fluctuations and dyes- photo-bleaching can be eliminated to some degree. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:We experimentally demonstrate controllable nonlinear modulation of optical guiding in ultrafast laser-written evanescently coupled waveguide arrays in bulk gallium lanthanum sulfide chalcogenide glass. The intensity-dependent response is validated by simulating light propagation in waveguide arrays with instantaneous Kerr nonlinearity using a discrete-continuous spatiotemporal unidirectional Maxwell equation model. The intensity-driven modulation of transmission in multicore structures acts as a potential saturable absorber at kilowatt threshold levels. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:Framing camera based on gated Micro-channel plate (MCP) was widely used in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) and Z-pinch because of its ultrafast time-resolve. Electrons with imaging information are multiplied when the HV pulse propagating through the MCP strip line. Obviously, the HV pulse was used as a shutter here, then the exposure time of the imagine will be determined by the width of the pulse. Theoretical analysis indicates that thegating pulse(200ps) has a bandwidth of 5GHz, thus, impedance match in the propagating path of the pulse will be very important. Impedance mismatch will cause reflecting of the pulse and decrease the transmission efficiency. This will cause un-uniformity of the dynamic gain of the MCP, and finally resulting in imagedistortion. A new designed impedance matching circuit is developed in this paper. Simulated results showedthatthe newdesignedimpedance matching circuit couldreduce the reflection of thegating pulse significantly, and dynamicgain uniformity of the MCP was increased simultaneously. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Solid-state photon-enhanced thermionic emission (PETE) solar energy converters are new devices that can directly convert solar energy into electrical power at elevated temperatures. This study proposes a new solid-state PETE device structure with a p-type doped semiconductor as the absorber. A model based on a 1D steady-state continuity equation is presented to simulate the diffusion and emission of photogenerated carriers and to calculate the efficiencies. This model can evaluate the effect of device structure and material parameters on performance and efficiency. Calculation results show that the new device is more efficient compared with the original device. A longer electron diffusion length is favourable for enhancing efficiency. Moreover, the optimal absorber thickness is predicted. Our analyses also show that the front interface strongly affects conversion efficiency, which emphasises the need to reduce interface recombination losses. The results of this study may serve as bases for the optimum design of practical solid-state PETE devices. &copy; 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:Based on the dual-loss modulation, i.e. electro-optic (EO) modulator and GaAs saturable absorber, a sub-nanosecond mode-locked pulsed Nd:GGG laser with kHz repetition rates is presented for the first time. The repetition rate (0.5-10 kHz) of this pulsed laser is controlled by the modulation rate of EO modulator, so high stability can be obtained. The sub-nanosecond pulse width depends on the mode-locked pulse underneath the Q-switched envelope in the Q-switched mode-locked (QML) laser and high peak power can be generated. The condition on the generation of sub-nanosecond pulse and the needed threshold power for different modulation rates of EO are given. The average output power, the pulse width and the peak power versus pump power for different repetition rates are demonstrated. The shortest pulse width is 426 ps and the highest peak power reaches 239.4 kW. The experimental results show that the dual-loss modulation technology with EO and GaAs saturable absorber in QML laser is an efficient method to generate sub-nanosecond mode-locked pulsed laser with kHz repetition rates. &copy; 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:Hyperspectral images naturally stand as 3D data, which carry semantic information in remote sending applications. To well utilize 3D hyperspectral images, signal processing and learning techniques have been widely exploited, and the basis is to divide a given hyperspectral data into a set of semantic classes for analysis, i.e.; segmentation. To segment given hyperspectral data is an important and challenging research theme. Recently, to reduce the amount of human labor required to label samples in hyperspectral image segmentation, many approaches have been proposed and achieved good performance with a few labeled samples. However, most of them fail to exploit the high spectral correlation in distinct bands and utilize the spatial information of hyperspectral data. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a novel framework jointing the maximum a posteriori (MAP) model and low-rank representation (LRR) is proposed. In this paper, low-rank representation, conducted as a latent variables, can exploit the high spectral correlation in distinct bands and obtain a more compact and discriminative representation. On the other hand, a novel MAP framework is driven by using low-rank representation coefficient as latent variables, which will improve the probability that the closer pixels can be divided into the same class. The experiment results and quantitative analysis demonstrate that the proposed approach is effective and can obtain high segmentation accuracy compared with state-of-the-art approaches. &copy; 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:Efficient transmission of terahertz (THz) wave is an important research direction in development of THz technology. Polymeric photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is ideal in THz waveguide transmission because of the advantages of low loss, low dispersion and fine flexibility to bend. Based on the full vector finite element method (FEM), a hollow-core PCF with operating frequency of 2.5 THz is designed. Some samples made of cyclic olefin copolymer (COC) are fabricated. The fiber transmission performance of THz wave is measured by using the CO&lt;inf&gt;2&lt;/inf&gt; pump laser THz source. The measured minimum loss is 0.17 dB/cm and the average loss is about 0.5 dB/cm. The fluctuation of transmission loss is less than 5% after the fiber is bent 90&deg;, showing good flexibility to bend. The measured mode field distribution results of the output port show that the optical fiber transmits signals through the main mode, so the THz energy is well bound in the core of optical fiber. &copy;, 2015, Editorial Office of High Power Laser and Particle Beams.

Abstract:With the development of the digital airborne photo-grammetry technology, the more performances of the optical system for airborne mapping camera are required, such as the longer focal, the wider field of view (FOV), at the same time, the secondary spectrum correction becomes more important and difficult for the optical system design. A high performance optical system of airborne mapping camera with 200mm focus and2=60&deg;FOV is designed in this paper. The range of work wavelength is from 430nm to 885nm. A two-layer HDOE with negative dispersive characteristic is used to eliminate the secondary spectrum in the process of optical system design. The diffraction efficiency of the designed two-layer HDOE is up to 90%. From the result of design, the MTFs in whole fields are over 0.5 at 90lp/mm, which shows that the system has a great image quality. Meantime, the thermal analysis is done at the temperature range between -20&deg;C and 40&deg;C, and the MTF curves of the system at-20&deg;C &sim;40&deg;C show that a great image quality is kept, which meets the design requirements. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Noise contamination is a ubiquitous problem in hyperspectral images (HSIs), which is a challenging and promising theme in many remote sensing applications. A large number of methods have been proposed to remove noise. Unfortunately, most denoising methods fail to take full advantages of the high spectral correlation and to simultaneously consider the specific noise distributions in HSIs. Recently, a spectral-spatial adaptive hyperspectral total variation (SSAHTV) was proposed and obtained promising results. However, the SSAHTV model is insensitive to the image details, which makes the edges blur. To overcome all of these drawbacks, a spectral-spatial kernel method for HSI denoising is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is inspired by the observation that the spectral-spatial information is highly redundant in HSIs, which is sufficient to estimate the clear images. In this paper, a spectral-spatial kernel regularization is proposed to maintain the spectral correlations in spectral dimension and to match the original structure between two spatial dimensions. Moreover, an adaptive mechanism is developed to balance the fidelity term according to different noise distributions in each band. Therefore, it cannot only suppress noise in the high-noise band but also preserve information in the low-noise band. The reliability of the proposed method in removing noise is experimentally proved on both simulated data and real data. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:The fixed pattern noise of uncooled infrared focal plane arrays has the similar characteristics with the stripe noise. By researching the moment matching and temporal high-pass filter, a novel multiscale temporal moment matching nonuniformity correction algorithm was proposed. In the proposed algorithm, global motion was first identified by the Gaussian pyramid of the adjacent uncorrected images. Then the temporal moment matching was performed in all levels of Gaussian pyramids and Laplacian pyramids. The experimental results with the real infrared video sequences have shown that the proposed algorithm can significantly increase the convergence speed and reduce the ghosting artifacts. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:Compressed sensing is an arisen and significant theory, which has been widely used in infrared image reconstruction and many methods based on compressed sensing have been proposed. However, the existing methods can hardly accurately reconstruct infrared images. Considering that the sparsity of an infrared image plays a crucial role in compressed sensing to accurately reconstruct image, this paper presents a new sparse representation (MBFSF) that integrates the multiscale bilateral filter with shearing filter to overcome the above disadvantage. Firstly, one approximation subband image and a series of detail subband images at different scales and directions are obtained by the MBFSF. Then, in view of the feature that the most information is preserved in the approximation subband image, the proposed method only measures the detail subband images and preserves the approximation subband image. Subsequently, a very sparse random measurement matrix is used for the measurement at the detail subband images to reduce the computation cost and storage of large random measurement matrices in compressed sensing. Finally, an accelerated iterative hard thresholding algorithm is employed to reconstruct the infrared image. Experimental results show that the proposed method has superior performance in terms of reconstruction accuracy and compares favorably with existing compressed sensing methods, which is an effective method in high-resolution infrared imaging based on compressed sensing. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:The visible and near-infrared imaging spectrometer on board the Yutu Rover of Chinese Chang'E-3 mission measured the lunar surface reflectance at a close distance (&sim;1 m) and collected four spectra at four different sites. These in situ lunar spectra have revealed less mature features than that measured remotely by spaceborne sensors such as the Moon Mineralogy Mapper instrument on board the Chandrayaan-1 mission and the Spectral Profiler on board the Kaguya over the same region. Mineral composition analysis using a spectral lookup table populated with a radiative transfer mixing model has shown that the regolith at the landing site contains high abundance of olivine. The mineral abundance results are consistent with that inferred from the compound measurement made by the on board alpha-particle X-ray spectrometer. &copy;2015. American Geophysical Union.

Abstract:This paper is focused on how to design a cluster for a fractionated spacecraft mission, which benefits from the relative communication and navigation of the cluster satellites while keeping the satellites a safe distance apart. The fractionated spacecraft cluster is classified as the tightly controlled formation and the unconsolidated formation. Five parameters will define a satellite cluster, which will reflect the scale, combination, and the space structure of the cluster. A satellite cluster based on the tree architecture is proposed, and the relative combination calculation method for different relative orbits of different tree layers is presented. Simulation results have shown that the cluster satellites can be maintained within a certain distance using the tree architecture. &copy; IMechE 2015.

Abstract:The negative refractive index characteristics of one-dimensional photonic crystal consisted by Fibonacci multi-layer films has been studied by numerical method. The refractive indices for two materials, which are used to construct the Fibonacci multi-layer films, are 0.920 and 0.999, respectively. The calculation result shows that, on one hand, there are several negative refractive index zones for this kind of photonic crystal even if the refractive indices are very small; on the other hand, the difference is very large for the frequency between the zones. As an example, a kind of transmission-type plano-concave lens is designed. The simulation of the electromagnetic field distribution for the lens demonstrates that the lens can focus the incoming X-ray radiation. At the same time, the calculation of the absorption strength and refractive indices for real materials shows that not only there are large differences for the absorption strength with different materials, but also the refractive indices for real materials are different in X-ray band. Obviously, the characteristics above support a kind of transmission-type lens using in X-ray.. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:A scheme for obtaining a tunable ultranarrow cavity transmission controlled by two tunneling in triple quantum dots system is proposed. In such system, the tunneling can induce double dark resonances, resulting in the appearance of two transparency windows. With the steep dispersion within the narrowed transparency windows, an ultranarrow transmission peak can be obtained, compared with that of double quantum dots system. Furthermore, by varying the energy splitting, the linewidth and the position of the ultranarrow transmission peak can be engineered. Because no coupling laser is required, the scheme proposed here is more convenient for future experiments and applications in optics, and may be useful in designing novel optoelectronic devices. &copy; 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:The influences of the changes in geometrical factors, including the space bar thickness, the tube pitch in the first layer, the tube external diameter, the number of layers and the centre core diameter on flow and heat transfer performances in multi-stream spiral-wound heat exchangers are numerical investigated. The shell-side and tube-side Nusselt number and pressure drop per unit length increase with the increase of number of layers, centre core diameter, and tube external diameter, but decrease with the increase of space bar thickness and tube pitch in the first layer. Quantitatively estimation of the affecting performances of these five geometrical parameters is implemented by using the Taguchi method, and the result shows that the contribution rate of them are more than 5%. Thus, the multivariate correlations with the main geometrical parameters considered are developed for shell-side Nusselt number and friction coefficient. &copy; 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:Reflectors used for light-emitting-diode (LED) light source are designed in three-dimensional space to produce uniform illuminance effect. Reflector's surfaces are calculated by the source-target mapping method in Geometrical Optics. Ignoring scattering and absorption loss of the material, reflectors' performances are investigated. The simulation results show that the light efficiency which is the ratio of light flux in the target surface to that from LED light source can reach above 95%. And the illuminance uniformity which is the ratio of minimum illuminance (min E) to average illuminance (ave E) also can reach above 95%. Finally, the array of reflectors is investigated and the result shows it still has good performance. &copy; 2015 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Abstract:Color filter array (CFA) is one of the key points for single-sensor digital cameras to produce color images. Bayer CFA is the most commonly used pattern. In this array structure, the sampling frequency of green is two times of red or blue, which is consistent with the sensitivity of human eyes to colors. However, each sensor pixel only samples one of three primary color values. To render a full-color image, an interpolation process, commonly referred to CFA demosaicing, is required to estimate the other two missing color values at each pixel. In this paper, we explore an adaptive progressive interpolation based on the edge type algorithm. The proposed demosaicing method consists of two successive steps: an interpolation step that estimates missing color values according to various edges and a post-processing step by iterative interpolation. &copy; Copyright 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Panoramic stereo cameras and laser radars have their own coordinate system in the dynamic spatial sensing area and they have to determine the position relationship between each other through joint calibration. As using the traditional technology of mutual alignment based on the telescope cross wire is tedious and requires high operating skills, a new method of mutual alignment using lasers and four-quadrant photo electric detectors is provided after analyzing the working principle of four-quadrant photo electric detectors. Firstly make the laser beam irradiate the active area of the four-quadrant photo electric detector through coarse aiming. Then the center of a light spot offset relative to the center of the active area can be obtained according to the output voltage of four quadrants. The pose of two instruments can be adjusted properly to realize mutual alignment. The experimental results indicate that the alignment accuracy of four-quadrant detectors can meet the requirements of mutual alignment, which provides a new idea for joint calibration. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:A numerical model of electro-absorption-modulator (EAM)-based time-of-flight depth system is established. A formula with scale factor is deduced to quantify the contribution of timing-error to the accuracy of system. Measurement error is studied with parameters of EAM as well as background noise and timing-error. The results show that with no timing-error the standard deviation of measurements is inversely proportional to the square root of the number of signal electrons and is proportional to the square root of the ratio of the number of background electrons to the number of signal electrons. System accuracy improved by employing EAM with high speed modulation and higher extinction ratio. With skew error increasing, measurement error rises rapidly and is difficult to be reduced by increasing the number of signal electrons in the well of sensor. The well capacity of sensor must be larger than 300 Ke and the skew error of signal must be less than &plusmn;200 ps if the accuracy of 7 m single depth image is required less than 1 cm. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:A single pump polarization-insensitive and widely tunable all-optical wavelength conversion for 10 Gbit/s non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signal is experimentally demonstrated by means of four-wave-mixing (FWM) in highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber (PCF). The residual birefringence in the 50 m dispersion-flattened guarantees the FWM-based wavelength conversion to be polarization insensitive when the pump polarization is exactly at 45&deg; to the birefringent axes of the PCF. Experimental results show that the polarization dependence of FWM in the PCF can be decreased to be less than 1 dB over 28 nm of wavelength tunable operation. The conversion efficiencies are better than -13 dB and the Q factor of idler signal is larger than 7 over the conversion range with signal polarization change. &copy; 2016, Chinese Lasers Press.

Abstract:This article presents a novel indexing framework called EMIF (Effective Music Indexing Framework) to facilitate scalable and accurate content based music retrieval. EMIF system architecture is designed based on a "classification-and-indexing" principle and consists of two main functionality layers: 1) a novel semantic-sensitive classification to identify input music's category and 2) multiple indexing structures - one local indexing structure corresponds to one semantic category. EMIF's layered architecture not only enables superior search accuracy but also reduces query response time significantly. To evaluate the system, a set of comprehensive experimental studies have been carried out using large test collection and EMIF demonstrates promising performance over state-of-theart approaches.

Abstract:In order to realize the high precision measurement of encoder accuracy, the principle and method to measure encoder accuracy by using polyhedron and autocollimator are introduced. The polyhedron coordinate system and autocollimator measurement coordinate system are established, and the precise mathematical model is established, which is relation with the measurement error of the encoder accuracy and pyramidal error. The simulation results show that the encoder shaft tilt angle and tilt direction will affect the measurement results of the encoder accuracy. Measurement error of encoder accuracy increases with encoder shaft tilt angle, and approximately proportional to the square. Measurement error of encoder accuracy changes with encoder shaft tilt direction. When encoder shaft tilt direction is 0&deg; or 180&deg;, measurement error is the smallest; When encoder shaft tilt direction is 90&deg; or 270&deg;, measurement error is the maximum. As encoder shaft tilt angle is 5&prime;, the measurement errors can reach 0.11&Prime;~0.48&Prime;, which cannot be ignored for encoder with 1~3 levels of precision grade. Pyramidal error should be cotrolled in the appropriate range based on the precision grade of measured encoder. Specific requirements on pyramidal error are given for encoders with different precision grades. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:Edge detection is necessary for image segmentation and pattern recognition. In this paper, an improved Canny edge detection approach is proposed due to the defect of traditional algorithm. A modified bilateral filter with a compensation function based on pixel intensity similarity judgment was used to smooth image instead of Gaussian filter, which could preserve edge feature and remove noise effectively. In order to solve the problems of sensitivity to the noise in gradient calculating, the algorithm used 4 directions gradient templates. Finally, Otsu algorithm adaptively obtain the dual-threshold. All of the algorithm simulated with OpenCV 2.4.0 library in the environments of vs2010, and through the experimental analysis, the improved algorithm has been proved to detect edge details more effectively and with more adaptability. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:We present dynamics of spatial solitons propagating through a PT symmetric optical lattice with a longitudinal potential barrier. We find that a spatial soliton evolves a transverse drift motion after transmitting through the lattice barrier. The gain/loss coefficient of the PT symmetric potential barrier plays an essential role on such soliton dynamics. The bending angle of solitons depends on the lattice parameters including the modulation frequency, incident position, potential depth and the barrier length. Besides, solitons tend to gain a certain amount of energy from the barrier, which can also be tuned by barrier parameters. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:Noise contamination is a ubiquitous problem in hyperspectral images (HSIs), which is a challenging and promising theme in many remote sensing applications. A large number of methods have been proposed to remove noise. Unfortunately, most denoising methods fail to take full advantages of the high spectral correlation and to simultaneously consider the specific noise distributions in HSIs. Recently, a spectral-spatial adaptive hyperspectral total variation (SSAHTV) was proposed and obtained promising results. However, the SSAHTV model is insensitive to the image details, which makes the edges blur. To overcome all of these drawbacks, a spectral-spatial kernel method for HSI denoising is proposed in this paper. The proposed method is inspired by the observation that the spectral-spatial information is highly redundant in HSIs, which is sufficient to estimate the clear images. In this paper, a spectral-spatial kernel regularization is proposed to maintain the spectral correlations in spectral dimension and to match the original structure between two spatial dimensions. Moreover, an adaptive mechanism is developed to balance the fidelity term according to different noise distributions in each band. Therefore, it cannot only suppress noise in the high-noise band but also preserve information in the low-noise band. The reliability of the proposed method in removing noise is experimentally proved on both simulated data and real data. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:We report on the experimental observation of narrow-linewidth double-peak dissipative solitons in a figure-eight Yb-doped passively mode-locked fiber laser in the large net normal cavity dispersion regime. Without any physical bandpass filters in the cavity, stable mode-locking pulses with a duration of 416 ps and a 3 dB bandwidth of 0.3 nm can be directly generated from the laser cavity. The edge-to-edge bandwidth of the spectrum is about 5 nm. The repetition rate of the dissipative solitons is 3.9 MHz. With the increase of pump power, the central wavelength of the dissipative solitons shifts toward a short wavelength and edge-to-edge spectral widths are widened gradually. These phenomena are theoretically explained. &copy; 2015 Astro Ltd.

Abstract:In order to realize the real-time segmentation processing of multi spectral images in practice, a real-time multi-spectral images segmentation system composed of four TMS320C6455 DSPs, two Virtex-41/4V4 XC4VLX801/4FPGAs and one Virtex-2 Pro1/4V2 Pro201/4FPGA is designed. Through the optimization of the cooperation processing of the multi DSP and multi FPGA, the parallel multitask processing ability of the DSPs and the effective interface coordination ability of the FPGAs in the built system are used fully. In order to display the processing ability, the segmentation test experiments of 10 spectra visible images, with 1024&times;1024, segmented by the Multi-scale Image Segmentation Method, was done in the built multi spectral images segment system. The experiment results prove that the multi DSP and multi FPGA multi spectral images processing system designed in this paper satisfies the real-time processing requirement in engineering practice. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Dimensionality reduction is ubiquitous in biomedical applications. A newly proposed spectral dimensionality reduction method, named kernel entropy component analysis (KECA), can reveal the structure related to Renyi entropy of an input space data set. However, each principal component in the Hilbert space depends on all training samples in KECA, causing degraded performance. To overcome this drawback, a sparse KECA (SKECA) algorithm based on a recursive divide-and-conquer (DC) method is proposed in this work. The original large and complex problem of KECA is decomposed into a series of small and simple sub-problems, and then they are solved recursively. The performance of SKECA is evaluated on four biomedical datasets, and compared with KECA, principal component analysis (PCA), kernel PCA (KPCA), sparse PCA and sparse KPCA. Experimental results indicate that the SKECA outperforms conventional dimensionality reduction algorithms, even for high order dimensional features. It suggests that SKECA is potentially applicable to biomedical data processing. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:Conventional quality-guided (QG) phase unwrapping algorithm is hard to be applied to digital holographic microscopy because of the long execution time. In this paper, we present a threshold automatic selection hybrid phase unwrapping algorithm that combines the existing QG algorithm and the flood-filled (FF) algorithm to solve this problem. The original wrapped phase map is divided into high- and low-quality sub-maps by selecting a threshold automatically, and then the FF and QG unwrapping algorithms are used in each level to unwrap the phase, respectively. The feasibility of the proposed method is proved by experimental results, and the execution speed is shown to be much faster than that of the original QG unwrapping algorithm. &copy; 2014 Taylor & Francis.

Abstract:A simpler generalized expression of irradiance fluctuation for flat-topped beams is presented based on the Born and Rytov perturbation methods. The theoretical expression of the on-axis scintillation index in non-Kolmogorov weak atmospheric optics links is developed using the generalized von K&aacute;rm&aacute;n spectrum model, and using the equivalent structure constant that is different for all power-law exponents. The effect of the inner scale on the on-axis scintillation index is examined comprehensively. It is observed that flat-topped beams happen to possess smaller scintillation indices at larger inner scale. The effects of the power law, flat-topped order, source size of the fundamental Gaussian beam, propagation distance, and wavelength are also analyzed. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:With the development of digital multimedia technologies, image matting has gained increasing interests from both academic and industrial communities. The purpose of image matting is to precisely extract the foreground objects with arbitrary shapes from an image or a video frame for further editing. It is generally known that image matting is inherently an ill-posed problem because we need to output three images out of only one input image. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of the existing image matting algorithms and evaluate their performance. In addition to the blue screen matting, we systematically divide all existing natural image matting methods into four categories: 1) color sampling-based; 2) propagation-based; 3) combination of sampling-based and propagation-based; and 4) learning-based approaches. Sampling-based methods assume that the foreground and background colors of an unknown pixel can be explicitly estimated by examining nearby pixels. Propagation-based methods are instead based on the assumption that foreground and background colors are locally smooth. Learning-based methods treat the matting process as a supervised or semisupervised learning problem. Via the learning process, users can construct a linear or nonlinear model between the alpha mattes and the image colors using a training set to estimate the alpha matte of an unknown pixel without any assumption about the characteristics of the testing image. With three benchmark data sets, the various matting algorithms are evaluated and compared using several metrics to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses of each method both quantitatively and qualitatively. Finally, we conclude this paper by outlining the research trends and suggesting a number of promising directions for future development. &copy; 2012 IEEE.

Abstract:In the few-cycle pulses, the temporal evolution of the electric field sensitively depends on the carrier-envelope phase (CEP). The ability to measure and stabilize the CEP therefore becomes a crucial issue for all applications. However, few studies are focused on the measurement of CEP with coherent linear optical sampling. We propose an efficient method to measure the CEP of the frequency comb pulses by employing a high-resolution linear optical sampling technique. It is shown that constant chirp and pulsewidth of frequency comb pulses have negligible effect on the CEP measurement. &copy; 2009-2012 IEEE.

Partially coherent light illumination reduces coherent noise and the number of diffraction patterns needed for reconstruction. Thus, the whole process is fast and has high immunity to external perturbation due to the reference-less configuration. Both simulation and experimental results are presented to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed approach. &copy; 2016 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract:A new technique to generate high frequency repeated sine synchronous scan seed source was introduced, based on the method of phase locked loop and direct digital synthesize technique. Phase locked loop was used to realize synchronous track of sine scan signal and trigger light impulse. Modulation of frequency, phase, and amplitude was achieved by direct digital synthesize technique. Delay of scan time was achieved by phase modulation, while different scanning rate was achieved by amplification modulation. The circuit system can obtain stable sine synchronous scan seed signal with frequency as high as 250 MHz, and jitter lower than 10 ps. The design is confirmed to meet the expectation, and fulfill the high precision requirements of streak camera on seed source for frequency, amplitude and time jitter. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics.

Abstract:MSM (Mental-Semiconductor-Mental) photodetector has been widely used for its low capacitance and high bandwidth. For example, it can be used for space communication, remote sense and so on. But the development of MSM devices is still hindered by the dark current. In this paper, the 100&times;100 &mu;m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; InGaAs-MSM photodetector is successfully fabricated. The dark current density is reduced to 0.6 pA/&mu;m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; (5 V) by designing InAlGaAs/InGaAs short period superlattices and InAlAs Schottky barrier enhancement and this improves the SNR. Parameters of the device are characterized as follows: the 3dB bandwidth is 6.8 GHz, the rise time is 58.8 ps, the responsibility is 0.55 A/W at 1550 nm and the external quantum efficiency of the absorption region is 88%. Inhibition mechanisms of the short period superlattices and Schottky barrier enhancement are analyzed. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:Upon excitation of high intensity linearly polarized femtosecond laser, a blue-shifted two-photon induced photoproduct named F540 state with permanent photo-induced anisotropy is observed in bacteriorhodopsin (BR) films. Based on the F-state, permanent optical data storage can be realized with spatial field modulation of femtosecond laser. By using a phase-only spatial light modulator to modulate the spatial phase distribution of the incident femtosecond laser beam, we generate spot-patterns in the focal plane of the microscopic objective lens, and the patterns are recorded in the BR film. At the same time, by varying the polarization direction of the excitation laser beam, polarization-multiplexed optical data storage in the BR film is demonstrated, which is applicable to high-density optical data storage and optical information encryption. &copy; 2015 Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract:Coherent field imaging is based on the assumption of equal transmitting apertures spacing and equal spectrum of laser, and high-resolution image is reconstructed by iteratively computing the frequency spectrum. However, the inevitable transmitting aperture spacing error of laser is a key factor to affect the coherent field imaging quality in the application. Aiming at the problem of degrading imaging quality caused by the transmitting aperture spacing error, we discuss the mechanism of influence of aperture spacing error on imaging quality and propose a novel method of improving imaging quality from the perspective of suppressing the influence of transmitting aperture spacing error. Firstly, the mechanism of the influence of aperture spacing error on imaging quality and laser echo spectrum is analyzed in detail. Then we derive a frequency spectrum error propagation model. Based on the model, the iterative effect of frequency spectrum error is investigated and the trend of variation in imaging quality with frequency spectrum error is given. We propose a theoretical equation, in which the transmitting aperture spacing error has no influence on frequency spectrum nor imaging quality. To solve the above equation, an optimized method of linear programming is proposed and the optimized matrix of aperture spacing error is obtained. In practice, the influence of aperture spacing error on imaging quality can be largely counteracted by reasonably allocating aperture spacing error according to the optimized spacing error matrix. The correctness and validity of the theoretical model are verified by a simulation experiment. The results show that the Strehl ratio of imaging quality index can be improved by about 100% through using the proposed method, the greater the aperture spacing error, the higher the Strehl ratio of imaging quality index obtained by the method will be. In addition, the method is easy to use practically and less costly as well. Finally, it is concluded that the proposed method can easily and effectively counteract the degrading effect of aperture spacing error on imaging quality. The research can provide a theoretical basis for improving imaging quality and reasonably assigning transmitter aperture spacing accuracy of coherent field imaging telescope. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract:We proposed a plasmonic structure consisting of uniform metallic nanoslits with a movable dielectric substrate for subwavelength beam manipulation. In this structure, the phase of incident light can be modulated beforehand by the substrate before bumping the metal slits; therefore, the shape of transmitted light from nanoslits can be actively controlled by changing the substrate profile. According to this idea, plasmonic lenses with different functions, such as focusing light to two points, focus length variation, and beam deflection, are designed and investigated numerically. The proposed structure has a unique advantage of multifunction and reduces the difficulty in fabrication. &copy; 2015 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.

Abstract:Bessel beams have been used in many applications due to their unique optical properties of maintaining their intensity profiles unchanged during propagation. In imaging applications, Bessel beams have been successfully used to provide extended focuses for volumetric imaging and uniformed illumination plane in light-sheet microscopy. Coupled with two-photon excitation, Bessel beams have been successfully used in realizing fluorescence projected volumetric imaging. We demonstrated previously a stereoscopic solution-two-photon fluorescence stereomicroscopy (TPFSM)-for recovering the depth information in volumetric imaging with Bessel beams. In TPFSM, tilted Bessel beams were used to generate stereoscopic images on a laser scanning two-photon fluorescence microscope; upon post image processing we could successfully provide 3D perception of acquired volume images by wearing anaglyph 3D glasses. However, tilted Bessel beams were generated by shifting either an axicon or an objective laterally; the slow imaging speed and severe aberrations made it hard to use in real-time volume imaging. In this article, we report recent improvements of TPFSM with newly designed scanner and imaging software, which allows 3D stereoscopic imaging without moving any of the optical components on the setup. This improvement has dramatically improved focusing qualities and imaging speed so that the TPFSM can be performed potentially in real-time to provide 3D visualization in scattering media without post image processing. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:Sparse representation has attracted much attention from researchers in fields of signal processing, image processing, computer vision, and pattern recognition. Sparse representation also has a good reputation in both theoretical research and practical applications. Many different algorithms have been proposed for sparse representation. The main purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive study and an updated review on sparse representation and to supply guidance for researchers. The taxonomy of sparse representation methods can be studied from various viewpoints. For example, in terms of different norm minimizations used in sparsity constraints, the methods can be roughly categorized into five groups: 1) sparse representation with $l-{0}$ -norm minimization; 2) sparse representation with $l-{p}$ -norm ( $0&lt;p&lt;1$ ) minimization; 3) sparse representation with $l-{1}$ -norm minimization; 4) sparse representation with $l-{2,1}$ -norm minimization; and 5) sparse representation with $l-{2}$ -norm minimization. In this paper, a comprehensive overview of sparse representation is provided. The available sparse representation algorithms can also be empirically categorized into four groups: 1) greedy strategy approximation; 2) constrained optimization; 3) proximity algorithm-based optimization; and 4) homotopy algorithm-based sparse representation. The rationales of different algorithms in each category are analyzed and a wide range of sparse representation applications are summarized, which could sufficiently reveal the potential nature of the sparse representation theory. In particular, an experimentally comparative study of these sparse representation algorithms was presented. &copy; 2013 IEEE.

Abstract:We present different signal reconstruction techniques for implementation of compressive ghost imaging (CGI). The different techniques are validated on the data collected from ghost imaging with the pseudothermal light experimental system. Experiment results show that the technique based on total variance minimization gives high-quality reconstruction of the imaging object with less time consumption. The different performances among these reconstruction techniques and their parameter settings are also analyzed. The conclusion thus offers valuable information to promote the implementation of CGI in real applications. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:Diffractive telescope is an updated imaging technology, it differs from conventional refractive and reflective imaging system, which is based on the principle of diffraction image. However, one of the great challenges of design this optical system is that the diffractive optical element focuses on different wavelengths of light at different points in space, thereby distorting the color characteristics of image. In this paper, we designs a long-wavelength infrared diffractive telescope imaging system with flat surface Fresnel lens and cancels the infrared optical system chromatic aberration by another flat surface Fresnel lens, achieving broadband light (from 8 &mu;m to 12 &mu;m) to a common focus. At last, the diffuse spot size and MTF function provide diffractive-limited performance. &copy; 2015 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Abstract:We report on the high-power and efficient operation of a Ho:YAG laser wing-band-pumped by a Tm:fiber laser at 1933 nm. Using an output coupler of 10% transmission, maximum continuous-wave (CW) output power of 24.2 W at 2124 nm was generated under 42.6 W of absorbed pump power, corresponding to slope efficiency with respect to absorbed pump power of 57.6%. The operating wavelength of the Ho:YAG laser centered at 2092 or 2124 nm depending on different resonator designs. Prospects for further improvement in laser performance with this wing-pump configuration are discussed. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:The segmentation of endocardium and epicardium of left ventricle (LV) in cardiac MR image sequences play a crucial role in clinical applications. Active shape model (ASM) based methods are often used to extract the LV boundaries with the steps of searching and representation. However, due to the challenges, such as interior papillary muscles, complicated outside tissues and weak boundaries, the searching may be partially incorrect and the representation cannot reflect the reliable part of the contour. In this paper, a feature competition based searching strategy is proposed by exploiting both the information of the object and background to reduce the error of searching. Then, we propose a partial sparse shape model to effectively represent the searched shape. This representation is able to retain the partial reliable contour while reconstructing the unreliable part approximating to the real contour. Moreover, the incremental learning algorithm is exploited to construct a patient-specific appearance model to increase the accuracy and efficiency of image sequence segmentation. Experimental results on cardiac MR image sequences demonstrate that the proposed method improves the segmentation performance and also reduces the error accumulation compared to the existing methods. &copy; 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:Example learning-based superresolution (SR) algorithms show promise for restoring a high-resolution (HR) image from a single low-resolution (LR) input. The most popular approaches, however, are either time-or space-intensive, which limits their practical applications in many resource-limited settings. In this paper, we propose a novel computationally efficient single image SR method that learns multiple linear mappings (MLM) to directly transform LR feature subspaces into HR subspaces. In particular, we first partition the large nonlinear feature space of LR images into a cluster of linear subspaces. Multiple LR subdictionaries are then learned, followed by inferring the corresponding HR subdictionaries based on the assumption that the LR-HR features share the same representation coefficients. We establish MLM from the input LR features to the desired HR outputs in order to achieve fast yet stable SR recovery. Furthermore, in order to suppress displeasing artifacts generated by the MLM-based method, we apply a fast nonlocal means algorithm to construct a simple yet effective similarity-based regularization term for SR enhancement. Experimental results indicate that our approach is both quantitatively and qualitatively superior to other application-oriented SR methods, while maintaining relatively low time and space complexity. &copy; 1992-2012 IEEE.

Abstract:We demonstrate a novel high speed and multi-bit optical quantum random number generator by continuously measuring arrival time of photons with a common starting point. To obtain the unbiased and post-processing free random bits, the measured photon arrival time is converted into the sum of integral multiple of a fixed period and a phase time. Theoretical and experimental results show that the phase time is an independent and uniform random variable. A random bit extraction method by encoding the phase time is proposed. An experimental setup has been built and the unbiased random bit generation rate could reach 128 Mb/s, with random bit generation efficiency of 8 bits per detected photon. The random numbers passed all tests in the statistical test suite. &copy; 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

Abstract:A new method for exposure time control by driver timing was proposed for non-electronic shutter frame transfer area CCD imaging detector. Based on the Sarnoff's back illuminated frame transfer array CCD sensor, the charge will be drained quickly in the excess period, with the driver timing controlled by the software. Selecting exposure time as 2 ms, 4 ms, 6 ms and 9.96 ms, the CCD output signal amplitude was measured under system frame frequency of 100 fps. The gray value of continuous 100 frame image calculated by the Matlab. Results show that the method can control the CCD exposure time effectively, and can be implemented by software. It can be widely used in the frame transfer area CCD imaging device without electronic shutter. &copy; 2015, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering. All right reserved.

Abstract:We report on the experimental observation of dual-wavelength soliton and the phase-locked bound state in an all-fiber laser mode-locked by a carbon nanotubes/microfiber saturable absorber. The operation wavelengths are strongly dependent on the intracavity loss. By adjusting an attenuator to increase the intracavity loss, mode-locking wavelength shifts from 1557 to 1531 nm. With the appropriate pump power and intracavity loss, dual-wavelength solitons are achieved simultaneously. In addition, the phase-locked bound-state solitons are also observed at the two wavelengths. The pulse separation and phase difference are related to the first-order Kelly sidebands. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:Multiple softwares were required in the traditional design process of LED free-form surface lens. It is obvious that this process is complicated and inefficient. Moreover, when the model was transferred from 3D modeling software to optical simulation software, the file format had to be changed to solve the problem of the software compatibility. Note that some subtle changes were inevitably introduced to the model by such an operation, such as the generation of cracks or tiny deformation which would seriously affect the light efficiency and the degree of illumination uniformity. A new design method was presented in this paper which was used to directly generate model in the optical simulation software by using Scheme language. In this paper, the method of mesh division was applied to design the LED free-form surface lens with rectangular lighting. After the corresponding surface configuration was obtained, 3D modeling software and the Scheme language programming were used to generate lens model respectively. With the help of optical simulation software, a light source with the size of 1 mm in diameter was used in experiment, in which total one million rays were computed. The simulated results could be acquired by both models. It can be seen that the model deformation problems caused by the process of the model transfer could be prevented by using Scheme language, and the degree of illumination uniformity was also increased from 67% to 93.5%. Meanwhile, only 5 seconds were needed in modeling process by Scheme language which was more efficient than 3D modeling software. &copy;, 2015, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

Abstract:We propose a facile and environmentally-friendly strategy for fabricating three-dimensional (3D) reduced graphene oxide (3D-rGO) porous structure with one step hydrothermal method using glucose as the reducing agent and CaCO<inf>3</inf> as the template. The reducing process was accompanied by the self-assembly of two-dimensional graphene sheets into a 3D hydrogel which entrapped CaCO<inf>3</inf> particle into the graphene network. After the removal of CaCO<inf>3</inf> particle, 3D-rGO with interconnected porous structure was obtained. The 3D-rGO was further composted with PANI nanowire. The structure and the property of 3D-rGO and 3D-rGO/PANI composite have been characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Electrochemical test reveals that the 3D-rGO/PANI has high capacitance performance of 243 F g^-1 at current charge-discharge current density of 1 A g^-1 and an excellent capacity retention rate of 86% after 1000 cycles. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:Received signal processing and target reconstruction technique plays a key role in coherent field imaging, and directly influences the quality of the reconstructed image of a target. Based on all-phase fast Fourier transformation (FFT) spectrum analysis theory, a new processing and reconstruction method is proposed. By directly extracting the phase and amplitude information from all-phase FFT spectrum of the return signal, the proposed all-phase target reconstruction method is capable of inhibiting the frequency error caused by many factors, thus reconstructing the target image more precisely. The validity of the proposed method is proved by a coherent field imaging system in outdoor environments, and it has a better reconstruction performance than a traditional method. The resolution of the reconstructed target is close to a theoretical diffraction limit. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Physical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:In this paper, a metamaterial terahertz (THz) switch based on a split-ring resonator embedded with photoconductive silicon is presented and numerically investigated. Simulation results show that the switch works at two different resonant modes with different pump light powers and that the response time of the switch is less than 1 ps. By defining the switching window as the frequency range where the transmission magnitude of the ON state is one order of magnitude higher than the OFF state, a switching window ranging from 1.26 to 1.49 THz is obtained. The large modulation depth of the switch is due to the large separations of the maximum and minimum transmissions, which are 0.89 and 0.01, respectively. Particularly, the switch is frequency tunable by changing the thickness and permittivity of the dielectric layer. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

On the basis of the concept of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and through the research of principles and derivation of theories, detection capabilities under static condition and the condition of relative motion were analyzed and compared. With a set of typical parameters given, the change of detectable magnitude with the changes of parameters was investigated.

Abstract:Statistical modeling of wavelet subbands has frequently been used for image recognition and retrieval. However, traditional wavelets are unsuitable for use with images containing distributed discontinuities, such as edges. Shearlets are a newly developed extension of wavelets that are better suited to image characterization. Here, we propose novel texture classification and retrieval methods that model adjacent shearlet subband dependences using linear regression. For texture classification, we use two energy features to represent each shearlet subband in order to overcome the limitation that subband coefficients are complex numbers. Linear regression is used to model the features of adjacent subbands; the regression residuals are then used to define the distance from a test texture to a texture class. Texture retrieval consists of two processes: the first is based on statistics in contourlet domains, while the second is performed using a pseudo-feedback mechanism based on linear regression modeling of shearlet subband dependences. Comprehensive validation experiments performed on five large texture datasets reveal that the proposed classification and retrieval methods outperform the current state-of-the-art. &copy; 2013 IEEE.

Abstract:This paper presents a fast and robust level set method for image segmentation. To enhance the robustness against noise, we embed a Markov random field (MRF) energy function to the conventional level set energy function. This MRF energy function builds the correlation of a pixel with its neighbors and encourages them to fall into the same region. To obtain a fast implementation of the MRF embedded level set model, we explore algebraic multigrid (AMG) and sparse field method (SFM) to increase the time step and decrease the computation domain, respectively. Both AMG and SFM can be conducted in a parallel fashion, which facilitates the processing of our method for big image databases. By comparing the proposed fast and robust level set method with the standard level set method and its popular variants on noisy synthetic images, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, medical images, and natural images, we comprehensively demonstrate the new method is robust against various kinds of noises. In particular, the new level set method can segment an image of size 500 x 500 within 3 s on MATLAB R2010b installed in a computer with 3.30-GHz CPU and 4-GB memory.

Abstract:Images will be blurred by relative motion between the camera and the object of interest. In this paper, we analyzed the process of motion-blurred image, and demonstrated a restoration method based on Lucy-Richardson algorithm. The blur extent and angle can be estimated by Radon transform algorithm and auto-correlation function, respectively, and then the point spread function (PSF) of the motion-blurred image can be obtained. Thus with the help of the obtained PSF, the Lucy-Richardson restoration algorithm is used for experimental analysis on the motion-blurred images that have different blur extents, spatial resolutions and signal-to-noise ratios (SNR's). Further, its effectiveness is also evaluated by structural similarity (SSIM). Further studies show that, at first, for the image with a spatial frequency of 0.2 per pixel, the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the restored images can maintains above 0.7 when the blur extent is no bigger than 13 pixels. That means the method compensates low frequency information of the image, while attenuates high frequency information. At second, we fund that the method is more effective on condition that the product of the blur extent and spatial frequency is smaller than 3.75. Finally, the Lucy-Richardson algorithm is found insensitive to the Gaussian noise (of which the variance is not bigger than 0.1) by calculating the MTF of the restored image. &copy; Copyright 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Optical scattering characteristics of high altitude balloon in near space are researched based on the fundamental radiation theory in applied optics. Facet of balloon in near space is created according to the general idea of coordination transformation and surface mesh-creation. A bidirectional scattering distribution function (BSDF) model is deduced by summing transparent object all scattering components, including specular reflective, near-specular reflective, diffuse reflective and random diffuse reflective components. A mathematical model of scattering characteristics of balloon in near space is built. An atmospheric modeling tool, MODTRAN, is used to model background radiance in the range of 3~5 &mu;m and 8~14 &mu;m and radiance of balloon in the range of 0.24~2.4 &mu;m. The results show that the high altitude balloon radiance is 2.28 &times; 10&lt;sup&gt;-3&lt;/sup&gt; W/(cm&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&mu;m&middot;sr), whose calculation error is 10.6% in use of BSDF model, and relative to bidirectional reflection distribution function (BRDF) model, the accuracy has an improvement of 2%. The modeling method of scattering characteristics of balloon in near space agrees with the modeling results, which proves the correctness of mathematical model. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:This paper presents a novel variational approach for simultaneous estimation of bias field and segmentation of images with intensity inhomogeneity. We model intensity of inhomogeneous objects to be Gaussian distributed with different means and variances, and then introduce a sliding window to map the original image intensity onto another domain, where the intensity distribution of each object is still Gaussian but can be better separated. The means of the Gaussian distributions in the transformed domain can be adaptively estimated by multiplying the bias field with a piecewise constant signal within the sliding window. A maximum likelihood energy functional is then defined on each local region, which combines the bias field, the membership function of the object region, and the constant approximating the true signal from its corresponding object. The energy functional is then extended to the whole image domain by the Bayesian learning approach. An efficient iterative algorithm is proposed for energy minimization, via which the image segmentation and bias field correction are simultaneously achieved. Furthermore, the smoothness of the obtained optimal bias field is ensured by the normalized convolutions without extra cost. Experiments on real images demonstrated the superiority of the proposed algorithm to other state-of-the-art representative methods. &copy; 2013 IEEE.

Abstract:The panorama cameras onboard the Yutu Rover of the Chang'E-3 lunar mission acquired hundreds of high-resolution color images of the lunar surface and captured the first in situ lunar opposition effect (OE) since the Apollo era. We extracted the phase curve and the color ratio in three bands with the phase angle range from 2&deg; to 141&deg;. Photometric inversions using the Hapke model reveal that submicroscopic dusts are present in the landing area and both the coherent backscattering and the shadow hiding are responsible for the strong OE. Compared with spaceborne measurements, the grains in the landing site are brighter, more transparent, and appear to be better crystallized than the average maria basaltic grains. The results show that the phase-reddening effect appears to be present in the in situ phase curves. The current phase curve can be used as the ground-truth validations of any future spaceborne phase curve measurement over the landing site region. Key Points The first in situ lunar phase curve since the Apollo era covers phase angle range of 2-141&deg; Both shadow hiding and coherent backscattering contribute to the opposition surge Single-particle scattering has backward and forward scattering lobes and regolith porosity is obtained &copy; 2015.

Abstract:Object-based scene image representations can effectively capture the semantic meanings of a scene. However, they usually neglect a scene's structure information. In this paper, we propose a novel and effective detector-based scene representation method for scene classification. In particular, we extract object features by object detectors. By sensible principal component analysis, we obtain a compact representation vector of objects in a scene image. To capture the scene layout, we then train lots of deformable part models to form a scene response vector. By concatenating these two vectors we use a linear support vector machine for scene classification. When combining with DeCAF [1] in a special way, our method is even more powerful on complex scene categorization. Experimental results on the MIT indoor database show that our approach achieves state-of-The-Art performance on scene classification compared with several popular methods. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:We have proposed a switchable mode-locked fiber laser by means of carbon nanotube saturable absorber and fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The single-wavelength mode-locking operation can be switched between 1549.5 and 1559.5 nm, respectively, which correspond to the central wavelengths of two FBGs. With the appropriate setting of polarization controller, the stable dual-wavelength operation can be achieved due to the high stability of saturable absorber based on carbon nanotubes. Our method provides a simple, stable, low-cost, dual-wavelength ultrafast-pulsed source. &copy; 2014 Taylor & Francis.

Abstract:Hashing methods are effective in generating compact binary signatures for images and videos. This paper addresses an important open issue in the literature, i.e., how to learn compact hash codes by enhancing the complementarity among different hash functions. Most of prior studies solve this problem either by adopting time-consuming sequential learning algorithms or by generating the hash functions which are subject to some deliberately-designed constraints (e.g., enforcing hash functions orthogonal to one another). We analyze the drawbacks of past works and propose a new solution to this problem. Our idea is to decompose the feature space into a subspace shared by all hash functions and its complementary subspace. On one hand, the shared subspace, corresponding to the common structure across different hash functions, conveys most relevant information for the hashing task. Similar to data de-noising, irrelevant information is explicitly suppressed during hash function generation. On the other hand, in case that the complementary subspace also contains useful information for specific hash functions, the final form of our proposed hashing scheme is a compromise between these two kinds of subspaces. To make hash functions not only preserve the local neighborhood structure but also capture the global cluster distribution of the whole data, an objective function incorporating spectral embedding loss, binary quantization loss, and shared subspace contribution is introduced to guide the hash function learning. We propose an efficient alternating optimization method to simultaneously learn both the shared structure and the hash functions. Experimental results on three well-known benchmarks CIFAR-10, NUS-WIDE, and a-TRECVID demonstrate that our approach significantly outperforms state-of-the-art hashing methods. &copy; 2013 IEEE.

Abstract:In order to solve the problem that infrared images usually have a poor visual effect with low contrast and weak detail information, an adaptive detail enhancement method for infrared image based on bilateral filter is proposed in this paper. Firstly, adopting the bilateral filter which has a good filtering performance, the original infrared image is effectively derived into the smoothed component and the detail component. Exactly, the detail component is the difference between the original infrared image and the smoothed component. The major merit of using the bilateral filter is that the abundant and subtle detail contents containing a lot of edges and textures of the original infrared image could be obtained via adjusting the parameters flexibly. Further, the detail component plays a key role in obtaining an adaptive detail enhancement weight which is generated by the normalization of the detail component. The weight is in the range [0, 1] and their magnitudes can be regarded as the intensity of the original image details. As a result, this detail enhancement weight is adaptive and effective for the original infrared image. Finally, a kind of linear weighting strategy is utilized to achieve the image sharpness combing the original image and the adaptive weight. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other conventional methods in terms of visual effect and quantitative evaluation, which provides a new approach for infrared image detail enhancement. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Aerial cameras exist the image motion on the flight. The image motion has seriously affected the image quality, making the image edge blurred and gray scale loss. According to the actual application situation, when high quality and high precision are required, the image motion compensation (IMC) should be adopted. This paper designs galvanometer control system of IMC. The voice coil motor as the actuator has a simple structure, fast dynamic response and high positioning accuracy. Double-loop feedback is also used. PI arithmetic and Hall sensors are used at the current feedback. Fuzzy-PID arithmetic and optical encoder are used at the speed feedback. Compared to conventional PID control arithmetic, the simulation results show that the control system has fast response and high control accuracy. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:The interference graph collected by the radial shearing interferometer does not directly reflect the original wavefront information, so one needs the wavefront reconstruction of the original wavefront. This paper deduced the iterative method for wavefront reconstruction, and conducted the numerical simulation of the wavefront reconstruction algorithm by using Matlab at different shearing ratio. The simulation results were analysed and the conclusions were: with radial shearing ratio decreases or telescope system magnification increases, only a lesser iteration number is needed to reach high precision, so we can choose proper shearing ratio to simplify the numerical computation of the tedious iterative process, improving the speed of computation; Then the analysis provides the basis for the design of the telescope system in the radial shearing interferometer. &copy; 2015 Taylor & Francis Group.

Abstract:We report a refractive index (RI) and liquid level sensing system based on a hybrid grating structure comprising of a 45&deg; and an 81&deg; tilted fiber gratings (TFGs) that have been inscribed into a single mode fiber in series. In this structure, the 45&deg;-TFG is used as a polarizer to filter out the transverse electric (TE) component and enable the 81&deg;-TFG operating at single polarization for RI and level sensing. The experiment results show a lower temperature cross-sensitivity, only about 7.33 pm/&deg;C, and a higher RI sensitivity, being around 180 nm/RIU at RI=1.345 and 926 nm/RIU at RI=1.412 region, which are significantly improved in comparison with long period fiber gratings. The hybrid grating structure has also been applied as a liquid level sensor, showing 3.06 dB/mm linear peak ratio sensitivity. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:We demonstrate the possibility of creating curved optical tubes in a 4Pi focusing system. The focal fields of such optical tubes have interesting properties: the energy is concentered in the neighborhood of a prescribed three-dimensional (3D) curve while the cross section is of hollow shape. The creation of these optical tubes is based on the annular focal spot of a vortex beam, which is employed as a building block. An optical tube is thus obtained by covering the central-axis curve of the tube by various such building blocks. Each building block has a certain orientation and position, realized by a rotation plus a certain translation. The spatial spectrum (the input field as well) of the optical tube is obtained by linearly superposing the spectrum of each transformed building block. The curve is rather arbitrary. Three examples of optical tubes: a torus, a solenoid and a trefoil knot are given, showing a good agreement with the expected results. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:To extract useful information of hyper-spectral images effectively, a kind of texture feature extraction method using three-dimensional Gray-level Co-occurrence Matrix (3D GLCM) is proposed in this paper. The method extracts the texture features of hyper-spectral image as a pseudo data cube that combines the two-dimensional space data with one-dimensional spectrum data, instead of each band computed alone. Moreover, the parameters related to building the 3D GLCM are all optimized. To obtain the features both in spectral space and spatial space, the moving directions of texture window are extended to the spectral space, namely that four directions in two-dimensional (2D) image space are expanded to thirteen ones in three-dimensional (3D) space. Then, the Jeffreys-matusita (JM) distance based on the class separable criterion is employed to select the most suitable window size for each object. Finally, the multi-scale texture features are used for classification. The experiments also show that, compared with the traditional methods, the feature extraction method is more effective in describing objects and has better classification accuracy. &copy;, 2015, Binary Information Press

Abstract:In recent years, optical zoom imaging without moving elements has received much attention. The key to realizing this technique lies in the design of the variable-curvature mirror (VCM). To obtain enough optical magnification, the VCM should be able to change its radius of curvature over a wide range. In other words, the VCM must be able to provide a large sagittal variation, which requires the mirror material to be robust during curvature variation, require little force to deform, and have high ultimate strength. Carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) satisfies all these requirements and is suitable for fabricating such a VCM. Therefore, in this research, a CFRP prototype VCM has been designed, fabricated, and tested. With a diameter of 100 mm, a thickness of 2 mm, and an initial radius of curvature of 1740 mm, this VCM can provide a maximum 23-m sagittal variation and a minimum and maximum radius of curvature of 1705 and 1760 mm. &copy; Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers. &copy; 2015 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

Abstract:The residual linear birefringent of sensing fiber, temperature and vibration sensitivity severely influence the accuracy of Sagnac fiber optic current sensor (S-FOCS). A sensing fiber can be used in FOCS with spun high birefringent fiber (S Hi-Bi fiber) was designed. This S Hi-Bi fiber includes three sections: two terminal sections with variable spin-rate along fiber were utilized to substitute the fiber quarter-wave plates, respectively converting the light polarization state from the linear one to the circle one, and vice versa; and the middle section with a uniform spin-rate was utilized as the current sensing fiber which maintains the circular polarization state and compress the residual linear birefringent during the light propagation. In addition, the sensing fiber was wound into a special geometric structure so that the Sagnac phase shift was inherently eliminated and the sensing result did not depend on the position of the current conductor. In theory, used the coupled-mode theory the evolution of the light polarization state was simulated when linear polarization states light incident into the sensing fiber. A novel Sagnac fiber optic current sensor with vibration insensitivity based on this spun high birefringent fibers was proposed. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics. All right reserved.

Abstract:Fiber optic gyro (FOG) is an optical gyroscope which is based on the Sagnac effect and uses the optical fiber coil as light propagation channel. Gyro drift consists of two components: systemic drift and random drift. Systemic drift can be compensated by testing and calibrating. Random drift changes with time, so it becomes an important indicator to measure the precision of gyroscope, which has a great impact on the inertial navigation system. It can't be compensated by the simple method. Random drift is a main error of fiber optic gyro (FOG). The static output of FOG is a random project and it has more random noise when as the inertial navigation sensor, which will affect the measurement accuracy. It is an efficient method to reduce the random drift and improve the accuracy by modeling and compensation from the output of FOG. According to the characteristic of fiber optic gyro, the random drift model is studied. Using the time series method, the constant component of the random noise original data is extracted. After stationarity and normality tests, a normal random process is acquired. Based on this, the model is established using the recursive least squares, and then the model is applied to the normal Kalman and adaptive Kalman, finally the data is process with the filter. After experimental verification, the noise variance was reduced after filtering, and the effect is obvious. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Nowadays increased efforts have been made to devise digital still and high-speed video cameras designed based on the theory of compressive sensing. It is necessary to evaluate the image quality of compressive imaging systems during there design. An image quality evaluation method mainly based on the estimated modulation transfer function of the imaging system was proposed in this paper. The method estimates the distortions of the images captured by compressive imaging systems. The results of the experiments show that the proposed method is equivalent to the well-known image quality assessment method multi-scale structural similarity (MS-SSIM).

Abstract:It was experimentally investigated that the laser spot size on photoconductive antenna (PCA) gap could have a great influence on terahertz (THz) generation. Moreover, the simulation on THz generation influenced by the laser power density was carried out, which was agreed well to the experiments. It is well demonstrated that the increase of laser power density on PCA gap can enhance THz generation. However, the intensity of THz radiation reached saturation while the laser power density exceeding a certain value. The laser power density increased further by focusing harder, but the THz radiation was getting weaker due to the smaller laser excited area on PCA gap. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics.

Abstract:In this study, Eu³⁺ and Tb³⁺ co-doped Y<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf> particles were prepared via the simple, cost-effective urea homogeneous precipitation method without additives. The chosen particles were added in the SiO<inf>2</inf> sols to get anti-reflection (AR) and wavelength conversion bi-functional films. Careful investigations were carried out to find the optimum preparation conditions and proper morphology. SEM images showed that the particle sizes reduced as metal ion/urea ratio decreased. Additionally, the extracted particles turned from sphere to lamellar type when the deionized water, which was used as solvent, reduced to a certain extent. The mechanisms of the morphology formation and diversification were proposed as well. The as prepared materials can convert UV region photos to visible photons between 460 nm and 640 nm, which just matched the spectral response of most solar cells. The spherical sample showed better luminescence performance than the one with lamellar morphology. In addition, the optical transmittance spectra indicated that the films adding spherical particles had better anti-reflective performance, and the best adding amount was 0.08 g. Finally, As a proof-of-concept application, the as prepared bi-functional films were used to test the standard monocrystalline silicon solar cell assembled with anti-reflection and wavelength conversion bi-functional films photoelectric conversion properties. As a result, the as prepared bi-functional films could effectively improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency by 0.23% compared to pure SiO<inf>2</inf> AR coating film and 0.55% compared to glass. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:With the rapid development of digital technology, the data increased greatly in both static image and dynamic video image. It is noticeable how to decrease the redundant data in order to save or transmit information more efficiently. So the research on image compression becomes more and more important. Using GPU to achieve higher compression ratio has superiority in interactive remote visualization. Contrast to CPU, GPU may be a good way to accelerate the image compression. Currently, GPU of NIVIDIA has evolved into the eighth generation, which increasingly dominates the high-powered general purpose computer field. This paper explains the way of GPU encoding image. Some experiment results are also presented. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:In order to enhance the surface finish of Laser Direct Deposition of metallic components, a method that applies femtosecond laser to fabricate the cladding layer was proposed in this paper. The effects of the energy density, distribution, and the overlapping ratio of the laser on the sidewall quality of the cladding layer were studied in experiment. The experiment results show that the roughness of the achieved cladding side-wall layer can be smaller than 3 &mu;m once the energy density in the region is 0.12-0.34 J/cm²for the Gaussian-shape laser or 0.13-0.66 J/cm²for the rectangle-shape laser. And the cladding sidewall layer fabricated by Gaussian-shape laser possessed more excellent surface quality than the product fabricated by rectangle-shape laser with same parameters. The roughness of the cladding sidewall layer decreases and then increases with the increase of the laser overlapping ratio, and the optimal region of overlapping-ratio is 78%-85%. &copy; 2015, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

Abstract:An optical quantum random number generator based on parity of the number of photons detected in the equal time intervals was proposed. Light emitted from a continuous wave laser diode is attenuated into discrete single-photon sequence. The single photon is detected by a single-photon avalanche photodiode module. Random bit is extracted by measuring the parity of number of photons detected in equal time interval. The random bit extraction circuit based on field programmable gate array was developed. The influences of the size of time interval and the performance parameters of single photon module on performance of the designed random number generator were analyzed. In order to achieve a random bit generator with small deviation and fast generation rate, a method of setting time interval automatically according to average counting rate was proposed. A random bit generation rate of 2 Mbit/s was obtained when the designed random number generator works on a counting rate of 20 Mcps and the equal time interval is set as 0.5 &mu;s. The random bit sequences were tested by random number test program ENT and STS. The test results show that the generated random bit sequences fully meet the standards of true random numbers, and do not require post-processin &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:In computer vision, video stitching is a very challenging problem. In this paper, we proposed an efficient and effective wide-view video stitching method based on fast structure deformation that is capable of simultaneously achieving quality stitching and computational efficiency. For a group of synchronized frames, firstly, an effective double-seam selection scheme is designed to search two distinct but structurally corresponding seams in the two original images. The seam location of the previous frame is further considered to preserve the interframe consistency. Secondly, along the double seams, 1-D feature detection and matching is performed to capture the structural relationship between the two adjacent views. Thirdly, after feature matching, we propose an efficient algorithm to linearly propagate the deformation vectors to eliminate structure misalignment. At last, image intensity misalignment is corrected by rapid gradient fusion based on the successive over relaxation iteration (SORI) solver. A principled solution to the initialization of the SORI significantly reduced the number of iterations required. We have compared favorably our method with seven state-of-the-art image and video stitching algorithms as well as traditional ones. Experimental results show that our method outperforms the existing ones compared in terms of overall stitching quality and computational efficiency. &copy; 2013 IEEE.

Abstract:The datum axis of high precision photoelectric steady tracking platform jittering and drifting slowly often makes the output signal of fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) contain random noise. Based on the characteristics mentioned above, time series analysis of the data actually measured from FOG which is actually applied in engineering is conducted. Noise model is established by using the recursive least squares method, and it is processed with adaptive Kalman filter. With an exhaustive analysis by using the Allan variance method, it is shown that the filtering effect of Kalman algorithm that simply adapts the observation noise covariance matrix R is much better than that of normal Kalman algorithm, and the real-time performance is better than that of the Saga-Huga adaptive Kalman algorithm. For the Kalman algorithm, the amount of calculation added is small. This work has some practical value to improve the performance of photoelectric stable tracking platform. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:We have proposed a compact all-fiber dual-wavelength laser based on a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). The proposed laser mode locked by single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) delivers two kinds of solitons with pulse durations of &sim;1 ps and &sim;20 ps. The spectral width of the longer soliton pulses is &sim;0.14 nm, which attributes to the narrow bandwidth of the FBG. Shorter pulses with a spectral width of &sim;4 nm are mainly determined by the cavity length and intracavity dispersion. Our method provides a simple, stable, low-cost, and dual-scale ultrafast-pulsed laser source suitable for practical applications in optical communications and sensing. &copy; 2015 Astro Ltd.

Abstract:We propose a quadruple-wavelength tunable and dual-wavelength switchable ultrafast fiber laser by incorporating four fiber Bragg gratings. The tunable operations depend on the losses induced by intracavity polarization controllers. By appropriately setting the states of PCs, quadruple-wavelength picosecond solitons can be realized at 1530, 1540, 1550 and 1560 nm, respectively. When the losses are suitable, solitons with two different wavelengths can reach the gain balance, and the dual-wavelength operations are switched among the four wavelengths. These results demonstrate that the proposed fiber laser offers potential opportunities in exploiting flexibly switchable multi-wavelength pulse sources. &copy; 2015 Astro Ltd.

Abstract:Packaging is an important part of high power diode laser (HPLD) development and has become one of the key factors affecting the performance of high power diode lasers. In the package structure of HPLD, the interface layer of die bonding has significant effects on the thermal behavior of high power diode laser packages and most degradations and failures in high power diode laser packages are directly related to the interface layer. In this work, the effects of interface layer on the performance of high power diode laser array were studied numerically by modeling and experimentally. Firstly, numerical simulations using finite element method (FEM) were conducted to analyze the effects of voids in the interface layer on the temperature rise in active region of diode laser array. The correlation between junction temperature rise and voids was analyzed. According to the numerical simulation results, it was found that the local temperature rise of active region originated from the voids in the solder layer will lead to wavelength shift of some emitters. Secondly, the effects of solder interface layer on the spectrum properties of high power diode laser array were studied. It showed that the spectrum shape of diode laser array appeared "right shoulder" or "multi-peaks", which were related to the voids in the solder interface layer. Finally, "void-free" techniques were developed to minimize the voids in the solder interface layer and achieve high power diode lasers with better optical-electrical performances. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:For the issue of the influence of aircraft vibration on the navigation system positioning accuracy based on airborne autonomous celestial navigation system, an analysis of navigation platform vibration influenced from aircraft was preceded. Furthermore, a conclusion was given that the main factor is vibration angular displacement. Next, a single stellar positioning model in the celestial navigation system was established. According to the characteristics of vibration angular displacement, the similar coordinate transformation matrix in the angular displacement compensation was given. The results of vibration experiment and positioning model simulation validated that the angular vibration is the main error propagation to navigation system platform. The positioning error of celestial navigation system is 600 m when vibration angular displacement is 200 s along the x and y axis. &copy;, 2015, Editorial Board of Journal of HEU. All right reserved.

Abstract:Researches indicate that foggy weather is one of the most critical factors that restrict human's traffic activities and cause traffic accidents. It will reduce the visibility of traffic message board, which could cause the insecurity of transportation. Commonly, light-emitting diodes (LEDs) were used as light source for variable message sign, which could not be seen clearly in the foggy low visibility condition. A high-brightness light source which could be used for variable information board was firstly put forward in this paper. And a new type of variable message sign used in low visibility condition was also introduced. Besides, the attenuation characteristics of laser diode (LD) and light-emitting diode (LED) were analyzed respectively. Calculation and simulation show that the attenuation of red light source is fastest, and the yellow LED light has the better transmittance property. In the experiment, LDs were used to make variable message board for verifying image definition. A 16&lowast;16 array structure composed of LDs was designed and could display Chinese characters. By comparing the display effect of LDs and LEDs driven with same power, they were placed in fog chamber of the visibility less than 5 meters. And experiment results show that the penetrability of red LD light is better than that of red LED. So traffic variable message sign based on LDs could improve the image definition and the information could be seen more clearly in the foggy weather. In addition to the high-brightness, good coherence, good direction, experimental results show that traffic variable message board based on LD has better visual effect in low visibility condition. &copy; COPYRIGHT SPIE.

Abstract:The segmentation of endocardium and epicardium of left ventricle (LV) in cardiac MR image sequences play a crucial role in clinical applications. Active shape model (ASM) based methods are often used to extract the LV boundaries with the steps of searching and representation. However, due to the challenges, such as interior papillary muscles, complicated outside tissues and weak boundaries, the searching may be partially incorrect and the representation cannot reflect the reliable part of the contour. In this paper, a feature competition based searching strategy is proposed by exploiting both the information of the object and background to reduce the error of searching. Then, we propose a partial sparse shape model to effectively represent the searched shape. This representation is able to retain the partial reliable contour while reconstructing the unreliable part approximating to the real contour. Moreover, the incremental learning algorithm is exploited to construct a patient-specific appearance model to increase the accuracy and efficiency of image sequence segmentation. Experimental results on cardiac MR image sequences demonstrate that the proposed method improves the segmentation performance and also reduces the error accumulation compared to the existing methods. &copy; 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:Femtosecond laser is of great interest for machining high melting point and hardness materials such as diamond-like carbon, SiC ceramic, et al. In present work, the microstructural and chemical bond evolution of diamond-like carbon films were investigated using electron microscopy and spectroscopy techniques after machined by diverse femtosecond laser power in air. The results showed the machining depth was essentially proportional to the laser power. The well patterned microgrooves and ripple structures with nanoparticles were formed distinctly in the channels. Considering the D and G Raman band parameters on the laser irradiation, it revealed a conversion from amorphous carbon to nanocrystalline graphite after laser treated with increasing laser power. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis showed a great decrease of sp³/sp² after laser treatment. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:Polyacrylonitrile (PAN) precursor fiber and pre-oxidized fiber were tested with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to investigate the accuracy of pre-oxidation extent which was measured by testing. On the basis of the study on influence factors during the FTIR test, FTIR spectra and relative cyclization index (RCI) were analyzed. Furthermore, aromatization index (AI) was also studied via comparing the thermal properties of precursor fiber and pre-oxidized fiber. The pre-oxidation extent of pre-oxidized fiber could be qualitatively evaluated by FTIR and DSC, while RCI by quantitative calculation was not comparable and AI was higher than the true value. &copy;, 2015, Chemical Industry Press.

Abstract:Recently, hashing methods which try to solve similarity-preserving approximate nearest search problem have obtained widely applications in various fields such as content-based image retrieval, object recognition and pose estimation. However, how to learn effective hash codes to describe the similarities in the large-scale database still remains as a NP-hard problem. Besides, a fatal problem lying in the existing hashing methods is that they usually threshold the real values to binary codes using single-bit quantization (SBQ) at the highest point density, which may destroy the data structure seriously. Due to this problem, double-bit quantization (DBQ) is proposed to solve the problem of SBQ by adaptively learning thresholds to quantize the real values to two bits, and achieves impressive results. However, one problem in DBQ is that it neglects the amount of the information contained in different data dimensions. In this paper, we propose a multi-bit quantization method based on bit allocation to quantize each projected dimension with variable bit numbers. Besides, different from existing methods of choosing threshold, we propose an incomplete coding manner by clustering to generate binary codes. Experiments on two large datasets demonstrate the feasibility of our method. &copy; 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:Diffractive telescope is an updated imaging technology, it differs from conventional refractive and reflective imaging system, which is based on the principle of diffraction image. It has great potential for developing the larger aperture and lightweight telescope. However, one of the great challenges of design this optical system is that the diffractive optical element focuses on different wavelengths of light at different point in space, thereby distorting the color characteristics of image. In this paper, we designs a long-wavelength infrared diffractive telescope imaging system with flat surface Fresnel lens and cancels the infrared optical system chromatic aberration by another flat surface Fresnel lens, achieving broadband light(from 8&mu;m-12&mu;m) to a common focus with 4.6&deg; field of view. At last, the diffuse spot size and MTF function provide diffractive-limited performance. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Due to the rapid development of various satellite sensors, a large amount of high resolution remote sensing images can be obtained. In order to efficiently represent the scenes from these high resolution images, an unsupervised feature learning method is proposed for high resolution image scene classification. In the proposed method, a set of filter banks are learned in an unsupervised manner from the unlabeled image patches, which are robust, efficient and do not need elaborately designed descriptors such as SIFT. And then, each image is encoded by these filter banks using a soft distance assignment scheme, generating a final feature vector to excellently represent the image scene. Finally, by virtue of the traditional SVM classifier, the sematic concepts of different scenes can be categorized. Experimental evaluation on the the high resolution remote sensing images demonstrates the effectiveness and good performance of the proposed method. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:Abstract Two types of fluoride-containing phosphate-based glasses were prepared under the reducing and ambient air atmosphere, respectively. And the interrelation between the micro-defects and luminescence for these glasses was investigated by studying their absorption, photoluminescence emission (PL) and excitation (PLE) spectra as well as electron spin resonance (ESR) spectra. The emission spectra under the excitation at 351 nm and the excitation spectra by monitoring the emission wavelength at 433 nm, 454 nm, 505 nm, 645 nm and 780 nm, together with the absorption spectra of these two types of glasses were investigated through Gaussian peak fitting method. Their photoluminescence spectra exhibit a general character with a broadband emission at around 430 nm and a minor band at around 645 nm. The photoluminescence excitation spectra and absorption spectra indicate that the Gaussian peak fitting of the emission spectra with the maximum at about 433, 455, 505 and 645 nm, respectively, are closely associated with phosphate-related oxygen hole center defects and fluorine-related color centers. In addition, the emission and excitation spectra of the glass samples after the thermal treatment process in hydrogen atmosphere manifest that the reducing conditions promote the formation of phosphate-related oxygen hole center defects, oxygen related hole center defects and fluorine-related non-paramagnetic color centers as well as PO&lt;inf&gt;4&lt;/inf&gt;&lt;sup&gt;3 -&lt;/sup&gt; defects, while decrease the concentration level of Fe&lt;sup&gt;3 +&lt;/sup&gt; and PO&lt;inf&gt;3&lt;/inf&gt;&lt;sup&gt;2 -&lt;/sup&gt; defects. The investigations on the glasses' photoluminescence properties and their changes with the glass melting and thermal treatment atmosphere will promote the further development in preparation technology of the fluoride-containing phosphate-based glasses. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:Effective parsing of video through the spatial and temporal domains is vital to many computer vision problems because it is helpful to automatically label objects in video instead of manual fashion, which is tedious. Some literatures propose to parse the semantic information on individual 2D images or individual video frames, however, these approaches only take use of the spatial information, ignore the temporal continuity information and fail to consider the relevance of frames. On the other hand, some approaches which only consider the spatial information attempt to propagate labels in the temporal domain for parsing the semantic information of the whole video, yet the non-injective and non-surjective natures can cause the black hole effect. In this paper, inspirited by some annotated image datasets (e.g., Stanford Background Dataset, LabelMe, and SIFT-FLOW), we propose to transfer or propagate such labels from images to videos. The proposed approach consists of three main stages: I) the posterior category probability density function (PDF) is learned by an algorithm which combines frame relevance and label propagation from images. II) the prior contextual constraint PDF on the map of pixel categories through whole video is learned by the Markov Random Fields (MRF). III) finally, based on both learned PDFs, the final parsing results are yielded up to the maximum a posterior (MAP) process which is computed via a very efficient graph-cut based integer optimization algorithm. The experiments show that the black hole effect can be effectively handled by the proposed approach. &copy; 2015 Springer Science+Business Media New York

Abstract:The theodolite which works on a vehicle has measurement error caused by the deformation of vehicle platform. Two methods that the single error accumulation method and the comprehensive coordinate transformation method to compensate the error were deduced. First, the basic principle of the two methods was analyzed, taking into account the limitations of the different correction methods. Then a practical example with a vehicle platform containing large deformation derivation was built. The measurement error were summarized in two correction methods were compared. The results show that the correct error of the single error accumulation method has several points within large error in whole work scope of the theodolite, caused the error about 5&Prime; larger than the comprehensive coordinate transform method. Therefore the comprehensive coordinate transformation method must be used to obtain high- precision measurements. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics. All right reserved.

Abstract:Wave-front coding is a powerful technique that could be used to extend the DOF (depth of focus) of incoherent imaging system. It is the suitably designed phase mask that makes the system defocus invariant and it is the de-convolution algorithm that generates the clear image with large DOF. Compared with the traditional imaging system, the point spread function (PSF) in wave-front coded imaging system has quite a large support size and this characteristic makes wave-front coding be capable of realizing super-resolution imaging without replacing the current sensor with one of smaller pitch size. An amplification based single image super-resolution reconstruction procedure has been specifically designed for wave-front coded imaging system and its effectiveness has been demonstrated experimentally. A Cooke Triplet based wave-front coded imaging system is established. For a focal length of 50 mm and f-number 4.5, objects within the range [5 m, &infin;] could be clearly imaged, which indicates a DOF extension ratio of approximately 20. At the same time, the proposed processing procedure could produce at least 3&times; resolution improvement, with the quality of the reconstructed super-resolution image approaching the diffraction limit. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:One space-based astronomy telescope will observe astronomy objects whose brightness should be lower than 23th magnitude. To ensure the telescope performance, very low system noise requirements need extreme low CCD operating temperature (lower than -65&deg;C). Because the satellite will be launched in a low earth orbit, inevitable space external heat fluxes will result in a high radiator sink temperature (higher than -65&deg;C). On ly passive measures can't meet the focal plane cooling specification and act ive cooling technologies must be utilized. Based on detailed analysis on thermal environment of the telescope and thermal characteristics of focal plane assembly (FPA), act ive cooling system which is based on thermo-electric cooler (TEC) and heat rejection system (HRS) which is based on flexible heat pipe and radiator have been designed. Power consumption of TECs is dependent on the heat pumped requirements and its hot side temperature. Heat rejection capability of HRS is mainly dependent on the radiator size and temperature. To compromise TEC power consumption and the radiator size requirement, thermal design of FPA must be optimized. Parasit ic heat loads on the detector is minimized to reduce the heat pumped demands of TECs and its power consumption. Thermal resistance of heat rejection system is minimized to reject the heat dissipation of TECs from the hot side to the radiator efficiently. The size and surface coating of radiator are optimized to compromise heat reject ion requirements and system constraints. Based on above work, transient thermal analysis of FPA is performed. FPA prototype model has been developed and thermal vacuum/balance test has been accomplished. From the test, temperature of key parts and working parameters of TECs in extreme cases have been acquired. Test results show that CCD can be controlled below -65&deg;C and all parts worked well during the test. All of these verified the thermal design of FPA and some lessons will be presented in this paper. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Diffractive telescopes are ideal to space-based lidar receivers, because of their advantages of mass and surface shape tolerances. To develop diffractive optical systems, the aberration properties and high order diffraction of diffractive lenses were discussed. The aberration properties are suitable for lidar receivers. High order diffraction is helpful to improve diffractive lens fabrication and decrease system length. And it can be realized by modifying the surface figures of a diffractive lens, mainly the ring widths and depth. A 1-meter aperture diffractive telescope design with simple structure was given, providing spot diameters less than 45&mu;m over the whole field of view. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:An image sharpness assessment method based on the property of Contrast Sensitivity Function (CSF) was proposed to realize the sharpness assessment of unfocused image. Firstly, image was performed the two-dimensional Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT), and intermediate frequency coefficients and high frequency coefficients are divided into two parts respectively. Secondly the four parts were performed the inverse Discrete Fourier Transform (IDFT) to obtain subimages. Thirdly, using Range Function evaluates the four sub-image sharpness value. Finally, the image sharpness is obtained through the weighted sum of the sub-image sharpness value. In order to comply with the CSF characteristics, weighting factor is setting based on the Contrast Sensitivity Function. The new algorithm and four typical evaluation algorithm: Fourier, Range, Variance and Wavelet are evaluated based on the six quantitative evaluation index, which include the width of steep part of focusing curve, the ration of sharpness, the steepness, the variance of float part of focusing curve, the factor of local extreme and the sensitivity. On the other hand, the effect of noise, and image content on algorithm is analyzed in this paper. The experiment results show that the new algorithm has better performance of sensitivity, anti-nose than the four typical evaluation algorithms. The evaluation results are consistent with human visual characteristics. &copy; Copyright 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Multiplicative update algorithms are important tools for information retrieval, image processing, and pattern recognition. However, when the graph regularization is added to the cost function, different classes of sample data may be mapped to the same subspace, which leads to the increase of data clustering error rate. In this paper, an improved nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) cost function is introduced. Based on the cost function, a class of novel graph regularized NMF algorithms is developed, which results in a class of extended multiplicative update algorithms with manifold structure regularization. Analysis shows that in the learning, the proposed algorithms can efficiently minimize the rank of the data representation matrix. Theoretical results presented in this paper are confirmed by simulations. For different initializations and data sets, variation curves of cost functions and decomposition data are presented to show the convergence features of the proposed update rules. Basis images, reconstructed images, and clustering results are utilized to present the efficiency of the new algorithms. Last, the clustering accuracies of different algorithms are also investigated, which shows that the proposed algorithms can achieve state-of-the-art performance in applications of image clustering. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:In this paper, a new fine-grained image categorization system that improves spatial pyramid matching is developed. In this method, multiple cells are combined into cellets in the proposed categorization model, which are highly responsive to an object's fine categories. The object components are represented by cellets that can connect spatially adjacent cells within the same pyramid level. Here, image categorization can be formulated as the matching between the cellets of corresponding images. Toward an effective matching process, an active learning algorithm that can effectively select a few representative cells for constructing the cellets is adopted. A linear-discriminant-analysis-like scheme is employed to select discriminative cellets. Then, fine-grained image categorization can be conducted with a trained linear support vector machine. Experimental results on three real-world data sets demonstrate that our proposed system outperforms the state of the art.

Abstract:In this paper, we present a novel patch-based match and fusion algorithm by taking account of moving scene in a multiple exposure image sequence using optimization. A uniform iterative approach is developed to match and find the corresponding patches in different exposure images, which are then fused in each iteration. Our approach does not need to align the input multiple exposure images before the fusion process. Considering that the pixel values are affected by various exposure time, we design a new patch-based energy function that will be optimized to improve the matching accuracy. An efficient patch-based exposure fusion approach using the random walker algorithm is developed to preserve the moving objects from the input multiple exposure images. To the best of our knowledge, our algorithm is the first patch-based exposure fusion work to preserve the moving objects of dynamic scenes that does not need the registration process of different exposure images. Experimental results of moving scenes demonstrate that our algorithm achieves visually pleasing fusion results without ghosting artifacts, while the results produced by the state-of-the-art exposure fusion and tone mapping algorithms exhibit different levels of ghosting artifacts. &copy; 2013 IEEE.

Abstract:In order to capture accurate data of laser-driven fusion test, diagnostic instruments (DI) which are mounted onto diagnostic instrument manipulator (DIM) should align the target with tight tolerance. Traditional alignment methods have problems of time consumption and error large. An accurate automatic alignment method was introduced, which based on visual servoing according to the virtue of DIM and DI. First, a 3D alignment vector was constructed to estimate the target deviation in the stereo vision system. Under narrow field of view, estimated value was close to true deviation. Second, a 3 DOF pose adjusting mode was founded to promote motion accuracy. Finally, a visual servo controller based on the alignment vector and pose adjustment mode was designed. The process of alignment needs offline calibration only once. Through the three steps, DI can automatic align the target with high accuracy. Test indicates that alignment accuracy (RMS) is 11 &mu;m in x direction and 12 &mu;m in y direction. Laser shot test with X-ray framing camera show that the automatic align method can satisfy the project requirements. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics. All right reserved.

Abstract:Hyperspectral unmixing is one of the most important problems in analyzing remote sensing images, which aims to decompose a mixed pixel into a collection of constituent materials named endmembers and their corresponding fractional abundances. Recently, various methods have been proposed to incorporate sparse constraints into hyperspectral unmixing and achieve advanced performance. However, most of them ignore the complex distribution of substances in hyperspectral data so that they are only effective in limited cases. In this paper, the concept of substance dependence is introduced to help hyperspectral unmixing. Generally, substance dependence can be considered in a local region by K-nearest neighbors method. However, since substances of hyperspectral images are complicatedly distributed, number K of the most similar substances to each substance is difficult to decide. In this case, substance dependence should be considered in the whole data space, and the number of the K most similar substances to each substance can be adaptively determined by searching from the whole space. Through maintaining the substance dependence during unmixing, the abundances resulted from the proposed method are closer to the real fractions, which lead to better unmixing performance. The following contributions can be summarized. 1) The concept of substance dependence is proposed to describe the complicated relationship between substances in the hyperspectral image. 2) We propose substance dependence constrained sparse nonnegative matrix factorization (SDSNMF) for hyperspectral unmixing. Using SDSNMF, we meet or exceed state-of-the-art unmixing performance. 3) Adequate experiments on both synthetic and real hyperspectral data have been tested. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods, the experimental results prove the superiority of the proposed method. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:Multispectral remote sense camera can obtain geometic and spectral properties of the surface scenery, and will be wildly used in optical remote sense fields, but the blue spectrum of multispectral camera is more prone to out-band response. The paper established a mathematical model of multispectral remote sense camera's spectral response, analyzed the reason of the blue band out-band response, and proposed blue spectrum out-band response correction method according to each spectral response relationship of multispectral remote sense camera used Time-Dealy-Integration Charge-Coupled-Device. Through statistics of typical objects obtain the correction formula of correction blue spectrum out-band response, the corrected residuals can be smaller than 4%, can meet the application requirement of multispectral remote sense camera. The correction results show that the correction method based on each spectral response has better applicability in correcting the blue spectrum out-band response. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:Detecting humans, faces, and other objects is important for pose estimation, behaviour analysis, and recognition. Most of the existing detection methods exploit sliding-window technique that typically evaluates image patches at uniform grids, with constant pixel strides along horizontal and vertical directions in an image. This approach can lead to excessively redundant computation since target object instances are relatively rare events compared to non-objects of the background. Therefore, most of the computation is unnecessarily wasted on the background. In this paper, to deal with this problem, we propose to scan the image using adaptive instead of fixed (unchanged) strides. That is, a high response of current sliding window generates small strides for the subsequent sliding windows in both horizontal and vertical directions, which means an object instance is likely to exist around. Otherwise, a low response gives large pixel strides and results in sparse sampling on the background. As a result, the areas of potential object instances are densely sampled and the areas of non-objects are sparsely sampled, leading to the reduction of total computation cost without loss of detection accuracy. Experimental results on face detection demonstrate the high efficiency and effectiveness of the proposed method. &copy; 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:In this manuscript, we designed a rare-earth-halide gas-phase-doping setup to fabricate a large-mode-area fiber for high power laser applications. YbCl&lt;inf&gt;3&lt;/inf&gt; and AlCl&lt;inf&gt;3&lt;/inf&gt; halides are evaporated, carried respectively and finally mixed with usual host gas material SiCl&lt;inf&gt;4&lt;/inf&gt; at the hot zone of MCVD system. Owing to the all-gas-phasing reaction process and environment, the home-made Yb-doped fiber preform has a homogeneous large core and modulated refractive index profile to keep high beam quality. The drawn fiber core has a small numerical aperture of 0.07 and high Yb concentration of 9500 ppm. By using a master oscillator power amplifier system, nearly kW-level (951 W) laser output power was obtained with a slope efficiency of 83.3% at 1063.8 nm, indicating the competition and potential of the halide-gas-phase-doping technique for high power laser fiber fabrication. &copy; 2015 Astro Ltd.

Abstract:Optical planar waveguides in Nd&lt;sup&gt;3+&lt;/sup&gt;-doped phosphate glasses are fabricated by a 6.0-MeV carbon ion implantation with a dose of 6.0 &times; 10&lt;sup&gt;14&lt;/sup&gt; ions/cm&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; and a 6.0-MeV oxygen ion implantation at a fluence of 6.0 &times; 10&lt;sup&gt;14&lt;/sup&gt; ions/cm&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;, respectively. The guided modes and the corresponding effective refractive indices were measured by a modal 2010 prism coupler. The refractive index profiles of the waveguides were analyzed based on the stopping and range of ions in matter and the RCM reflectivity calculation method. The near-field light intensity distributions were measured and simulated by an end-face coupling method and a finite-difference beam propagation method, respectively. The comparison of optical properties between the carbon-implanted waveguide and the oxygen-implanted waveguide was carried out. The microluminescence and Raman spectroscopy investigations reveal that fluorescent properties of Nd&lt;sup&gt;3+&lt;/sup&gt; ions and glass microstructure are well preserved in the waveguide region, which suggests that the carbon/oxygen-implanted waveguide is a good candidate for integrated photonic devices. &copy;2015 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

Abstract:Multiatlas based method is commonly used in medical image segmentation. In multiatlas based image segmentation, atlas selection and combination are considered as two key factors affecting the performance. Recently, manifold learning based atlas selection methods have emerged as very promising methods. However, due to the complexity of prostate structures in raw images, it is difficult to get accurate atlas selection results by only measuring the distance between raw images on the manifolds. Although the distance between the regions to be segmented across images can be readily obtained by the label images, it is infeasible to directly compute the distance between the test image (gray) and the label images (binary). This paper tries to address this problem by proposing a label image constrained atlas selection method, which exploits the label images to constrain the manifold projection of raw images. Analyzing the data point distribution of the selected atlases in the manifold subspace, a novel weight computation method for atlas combination is proposed. Compared with other related existing methods, the experimental results on prostate segmentation from T2w MRI showed that the selected atlases are closer to the target structure and more accurate segmentation were obtained by using our proposed method. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:An image search reranking (ISR) technique aims at refining text-based search results by mining images' visual content. Feature extraction and ranking function design are two key steps in ISR. Inspired by the idea of hypersphere in one-class classification, this paper proposes a feature extraction algorithm named hypersphere-based relevance preserving projection (HRPP) and a ranking function called hypersphere-based rank (H-Rank). Specifically, an HRPP is a spectral embedding algorithm to transform an original high-dimensional feature space into an intrinsically low-dimensional hypersphere space by preserving the manifold structure and a relevance relationship among the images. An H-Rank is a simple but effective ranking algorithm to sort the images by their distances to the hypersphere center. Moreover, to capture the user's intent with minimum human interaction, a reversed $k$-nearest neighbor (KNN) algorithm is proposed, which harvests enough pseudorelevant images by requiring that the user gives only one click on the initially searched images. The HRPP method with reversed KNN is named one-click-based HRPP (OC-HRPP). Finally, an OC-HRPP algorithm and the H-Rank algorithm form a new ISR method, H-reranking. Extensive experimental results on three large real-world data sets show that the proposed algorithms are effective. Moreover, the fact that only one relevant image is required to be labeled makes it has a strong practical significance. &copy; 1992-2012 IEEE.

Abstract:In order to obtain the star simulator light source with the energy distribution of more color temperatures and magnitudes in the broad band, this paper introduces a new simulator light source system based on least-square method mixed light source through learning from the amplitude and colorimetry. The system uses a variety of different narrowband LEDs and two different sizes of integrating spheres to achieve the different color temperatures and magnitudes spectral distribution by adopting the method of digital dimming to control the light intensity output of each LED light source. Make experiments to test and verify the method in the 400 nm&ndash;900 nm wavelength range of color temperature of 3900k, 4800k and 6500k as well as the magnitudes of -1 mv to 6 mv. Experimental results show that the error of spectral distribution is less than 10% and the error of magnitude is less than 0. 08 mv. Compared with the traditional star simulator, the system is simpler with stable performance, high measurement accuracy, strong practicability and other characteristics. &copy; 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

Abstract:Due to their high electrical-optical conversion efficiency, compact size and long lifetime, high power diode lasers have found increased applications in many fields. As the improvement of device technology, high power diode laser bars with output power of tens or hundreds watts have been commercially available. With the increase of high current and output power, the reliability and lifetime of high power diode laser bars becomes a challenge, especially under harsh working conditions and hard-pulse operations. The bonding technology is still one of the bottlenecks of the advancement of high power diode laser bars. Currently, materials used in bonding high power diode laser bars are commonly indium and goldtin solders. Experimental and field application results indicates that the lifetime and reliability of high power diode laser bars bonded by gold-tin solder is much better than that bonded by indium solder which is prone to thermal fatigue, electro-migration and oxidization. In this paper, we review the bonding technologies for high power diode laser bars and present the advances in bonding technology for single bars, horizontal bar arrays and vertical bar stacks. We will also present the challenges and issues in bonding technology for high power diode laser bars and discuss some approaches and strategies in addressing the challenges and issues. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:A recent advance in scene categorization prefers a topological based modeling to capture the existence and relationships among different scene components. To that effect, local features are typically used to handle photographing variances such as occlusions and clutters. However, in many cases, the local features alone cannot well capture the scene semantics since they are extracted from tiny regions (e.g., 4 &times; 4 patches) within an image. In this paper, we mine a discriminative topology and a low-redundant topology from the local descriptors under a probabilistic perspective, which are further integrated into a boosting framework for scene categorization. In particular, by decomposing a scene image into basic components, a graphlet model is used to describe their spatial interactions. Accordingly, scene categorization is formulated as an intergraphlet matching problem. The above procedure is further accelerated by introducing a probabilistic based representative topology selection scheme that makes the pairwise graphlet comparison trackable despite their exponentially increasing volumes. The selected graphlets are highly discriminative and independent, characterizing the topological characteristics of scene images. A weak learner is subsequently trained for each topology, which are boosted together to jointly describe the scene image. In our experiment, the visualized graphlets demonstrate that the mined topological patterns are representative to scene categories, and our proposed method beats state-of-the-art models on five popular scene data sets. &copy; 2014 IEEE.

A high-voltage pulse driving source with low jitter was developed based on this circuit, and it was applied on a electro-optical switch clipping system of ultraviolet laser pulse. The time matching degree between high-voltage driving pulse and laser electro-optic system was regulated by synchronous regulator to get the best work state of the driving electrical pulses coupling with the electro-optical switch; work state of the electro-optical switch and shaping process of the laser were researched while matching the working time, when the amplitude and pulse width of high-voltage driving pulse was 2690 V and 7.9 ns, the UV laser pulse with 7.1 ns in pulse width can be compressed to 2.1 ns. Then the transmittance of KDP crystal is 92.2%, and the efficiency of electro-optic switch has reached 31.7%. &copy;, 2015, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

Abstract:A high-speed gated second generation image intensifier which is of short afterglow, high resolution and fast response time was designed. A high performance range-gated ICCD was obtained by coupling a fiber taper to CCD. The performance of each component and their effects on the system spatial resolution were analyzed. FPGA was employed to design the circuit control system which can achieve digital control for ICCD by producing a nanosecond gating width. The system can also obtain clear images of objectives in different brightness and distance by adjusting the pulse width and delay time. In addition, the background noise was reduced and the dynamic range of imaging was increased. The gain of this system can be monitored and adjusted to reach a signal-noise ratio of 201 dB. A gating DC pulse with voltage of -200 V and width of 3 ns-DC continuously adjustable was applied to achieve image intensifier gating. In order to improve the supplement speed of electrons to the photocathode, a square grid which has 5 &mu;m line width and 50 &mu;m spacing lithography was equipped to the input window surface. This also ensured that the photocathode response speed is fast enough when the gating width is 3 ns. The highest gating frequency can reach to 300 kHz. The experimental test shows that the gain of the image intensifier is 10 718 cd/m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt; lx when Microchannel Plate voltage is 700 V and phosphor screen voltage is 5 000 V, the system spatial resolution is 29.7 lp/mm. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:Modulating signal with polarization modulator (PolM) is the simplest method for polarization shift keying (PolSK) in free space optical communication. However, this method has an intrinsic drawback on degree of polarization (DOP) reduction for the existence of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in PolM. In this work, we analyze this change of DOP and its influence on PolSK using coherency matrix. We demonstrate that the decrease of DOP after PolM will generate extra loss and bit error ratio (BER) for PolSK communication, while this loss and BER will aggravate with the increase of laser linewidth and PolM length. For a practical PolSK system, laser linewidth should be less than 0.008nm. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:The tunability of nonlinear optical (NLO) absorption in Bi<inf>3.15</inf>Nd<inf>0.85</inf>Ti<inf>3</inf>O<inf>12</inf>(BNT) ferroelectric thin films was investigated through the open aperture Z-scan method with femtosecond laser pulses at the wavelength of 800 nm. NLO absorption responses of the BNT films were observed to be highly sensitive to the film thickness. As the film thickness increases from 106.8 to 139.7 nm, the NLO absorption changes from saturable absorption (SA) to reverse saturable absorption (RSA). When the film thickness further increases to 312.9 nm, the RSA effect is enhanced. A band-gap-related competition between the ground-state excitation and the two-photon absorption is responsible for the absorption switching behavior. Such a tunable NLO absorption can widen the photonic application of the BNT thin films. &copy; 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

Abstract:Video-based road detection is a crucial enabler for the successful development of driver assistant and robot navigation systems. But reliable detection is still on its infancy and deserves further research. In order to adapt to the situation consisting of environmental varieties, an online framework is proposed focusing on exploring the structure cue of the feature vectors. Through the structural support vector machine, the road boundary and non-boundary instances are firstly discriminated. Then they are utilized to fit a complete road boundary. After that, the road region is accordingly inferred and the obtained results are treated as ground truth to update the learned model. Three contributions are claimed in this work: online-learning updating, structural information consideration, and targeted sampling selection. The proposed method is finally evaluated on several challenging videos captured by ourselves. Qualitative and quantitative results show that it outperforms the other competitors. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:In this paper, a compact slow-light microfiber coil resonator (MCR) is fabricated and the slow-light properties of it are analyzed and tested. Based on coupled-wave theory, a theoretical model for describing the slow-light propagation in the MCR is established. Experimentally, the MCR slow-light element is fabricated and its relative slow-light time delay is measured. The group velocity of the light pulse in the MCR slow-light element can be reduced to about 0.47c (c is the speed of light in vacuum) and the shape of the light pulse passing through the MCR is well preserved. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:We propose a method to recover weak pulse signals buried in noise via stochastic resonance (SR) based on optical bistability induced by the free-carrier dispersion effect in the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide resonator. The bistable system threshold is determined by the resonator parameters including the waveguide length, mirror reflectivity, and the free-carrier lifetime. A signal with different power levels can be detected by changing the free-carrier lifetime using a reverse-biased p-i-n junction embedded in the SOI waveguide. The influence of the system parameters on the SR is quantitatively analyzed by calculating the cross-correlation coefficient between the input and output signals. A cross-correlation gain of 5.6 is obtained by optimizing the system parameters of the SOI waveguide resonator. The results show the potential of using this structure to reconstruct and extract weak signals in all-optical integrated systems. &copy; 2016 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract:In recent years, the complex and heterogeneous structure of ionic liquids has been demonstrated; however, the consequences on the dynamics have remained elusive. Here, we use femtosecond IR spectroscopy to elucidate the local structural dynamics in protic alkylammonium-based ionic liquids. The structural relaxation after an ultrafast temperature increase, following vibrational excitation and subsequent relaxation of the N-D (or N-H) stretching vibration, is found to vary substantially between the ionic and hydrophobic subdomains. The dynamics in the ionic domains are virtually unaffected by the alkyl chain length and is, therefore, decoupled from viscosity. Equilibration within the hydrophobic subdomains, as evident from the dynamics of the C-H stretching vibration, is faster than that in the ionic domains and shows a remarkably low thermal activation. &copy; 2015 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Abstract:An intelligent control system for an X ray streak camera in a diagnostic instrument manipulator (DIM) is proposed and implemented, which can control time delay, electric focusing, image gain adjustment, switch of sweep voltage, acquiring environment parameters etc. The system consists of 16 A/D converters and 16 D/A converters, a 32-channel general purpose input/output (GPIO) and two sensors. An isolated DC/DC converter with multi-outputs and a single mode fiber were adopted to reduce the interference generated by the common ground among the A/D, D/A and I/O. The software was designed using graphical programming language and can remotely access the corresponding instrument from a website. The entire intelligent control system can acquire the desirable data at a speed of 30 Mb/s and store it for later analysis. The intelligent system was implemented on a streak camera in a DIM and it shows a temporal resolution of 11.25 ps, spatial distortion of less than 10% and dynamic range of 279:1. The intelligent control system has been successfully used in a streak camera to verify the synchronization of multi-channel laser on the Inertial Confinement Fusion Facility. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:To fill the semantic gap between the predictive power of computational saliency models and human behavior, this paper proposes to predict where people look at using spatial-aware object-level cues. While object-level saliency has been recently suggested by psychophysics experiments and shown effective with a few computational models, the spatial relationship between the objects has not yet been explored in this context. We in this work for the first time explicitly model such spatial relationship, as well as leveraging semantic information of an image to enhance object-level saliency modeling. The core computational module is a graphlet-based (i.e., graphlets are moderate-sized connected subgraphs) deep architecture, which hierarchically learns a saliency map from raw image pixels to object-level graphlets (oGLs) and further to spatial-level graphlets (sGLs). Eye tracking data are also used to leverage human experience in saliency prediction. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed oGLs and sGLs well capture object-level and spatial-level cues relating to saliency, and the resulting saliency model performs competitively compared with the state-of-the-art.

Abstract:In order to obtain picoseconds pulse output, a Nd:YAG laser passively mode-locked was proposed by a reflective semiconductor saturable-absorber mirror. Based on Z-type resonator, the laser output was obtained with repetition frequency of 101 MHz, pulses of 23.4 ps, central wavelength of 1064 nm and average power of 356 mW, corresponding to 3.49 nJ pulse energy. The measured beam quality is about 1.2.In order to enhance the average single pulse energy of mode-locked pulse, Q-switched mode-locking operation was obtained by inserting an acousto-optic Q-switch, producing 364 mW pulses with 1.03 MHz repetition rate. The resulting 406 nJ pulse energy is 116 times larger than that from continuous mode-locking operation. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:Scene parsing is an important problem in the field of computer vision. Though many existing scene parsing approaches have obtained encouraging results, they fail to overcome within-category inconsistency and intercategory similarity of superpixels. To reduce the aforementioned problem, a novel method is proposed in this paper. The proposed approach consists of three main steps: 1) posterior category probability density function (PDF) is learned by an efficient low-rank representation classifier (LRRC); 2) prior contextual constraint PDF on the map of pixel categories is learned by Markov random fields; and 3) final parsing results are yielded up to the maximum a posterior process based on the two learned PDFs. In this case, the nature of being both dense for within-category affinities and almost zeros for intercategory affinities is integrated into our approach by using LRRC to model the posterior category PDF. Meanwhile, the contextual priori generated by modeling the prior contextual constraint PDF helps to promote the performance of scene parsing. Experiments on benchmark datasets show that the proposed approach outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches for scene parsing. &copy; 2013 IEEE.

Abstract:Abstract A compact plasmonic structure is proposed to actualize the subwavelength beam focusing, through a metal slit array arranged along a triangular or trapezium surface profile. The incident light passes through the metal slits in the form of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) and then scattered into radiation fields. The constructive interference of radiation fields from individual slits with different depths and widths gives rise to beam focusing. The advantages of the proposed plasmonic lens are having a much smaller lateral dimension and broad working wavelength range. This is of importance for realizing densely integrated photonic circuits. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is employed to verify the proposed design. The simulation results indicate that the focal spot is beyond the diffraction limit. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:By using the design of the orthogonal polarized light beacon, the single optical path transmission of space beacons gesture was achieved, which provied the conditions for the Satelite-Ground quantum optical link. The transmission characteristic of the polarization through the optical device, especially the coated device was analyzed. A simulation was done to analyze the outgoing beacon light under the condition of the different incident angles and rotation angles. The influence by the phase and reflectivity difference in the optical components was analyzed. A mathematical model of the measurement of polarization azimuth by using the Jones matrix was made to analyze the form of the Malus law in the elliptic polarized light incident. Three-dimension attitude can be obtained by a single Position Sensitive Detector sensor which can receive the beacon light, decouple the angle of polarization and the location of incident light. The experiment data shows that the system has the function of measuring three-dimension attitude of the beacon by a single Position Sensitive Detector sensor. This system provides a solution to the fields of the Satelite-Ground Optical Communication and the measurement of space geometry position. &copy; 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:Diagnostic measurement of single picosecond event in high energy density physics, laser fusion, plasma radiation, and combustion, is of great importance. However, the measuring of the shape of the single X-ray pulse and the synchronization of X-ray and the laser pulse in picosecond resolution is still a great challenge. Restricted by the transit time of electrons, the time-resolution limit of a conventional framing camera based on the microchannel plate is 40 ps. Centered on the full-optical modulation effect of the light-probe, a novel method for X-ray detection of picoseconds temporal resolution based on low temperature GaAs is proposed in this work. The basic physical mechanism of the detector can be explained in both macroscopical and microcosmic ways. In the macroscopical way, the X-ray radiation absorption in the sensor material produces a transient, non-equilibrium electron-hole pair distribution that results in a transient differential change of the local refractive index, which is then sensed by the reflectivity changes of the optical probe beam. In the microcosmic way, X-ray absorption creates photoelectrons and the core level holes are subsequently filled through Auger or fluorescence processes. These excitations ultimately increase conduction and valence band carriers that perturb optical reflectivity. To verify the proposed X-ray detection method, a Fabry-Perot detector is designed, which consists of a 5 &mu;m thick GaAs layer surrounded by a GaAs/AlAs distributed Bragg reflector. The test is carried out on a femtosecond laser facility, where the X-ray source is produced by focusing the 56 fs Ti: Sapphire facility laser, with a central wavelength of 800 nm, onto an aluminum foil. Then the X-ray pulse induces a transient optical reflectivity change in GaAs, which is a powerful tool for establishing the high-speed X-ray detection. The experimental results indicate that this technology can be used to provide X-ray detectors with a temporal resolution of tens of picoseconds. By optimizing the material, the temporal resolution can be enhanced to be less than 1 ps. Through further development, this X-ray detector could provide an insight into previously unmeasurable phenomena in many fields. Future work will focus on developing much faster devices characterizing both the rise and fall time and imaging array technology. &copy; 2015 Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract:A technology is investigated to extract nanosecond pulse noise hidden signals via stochastic resonance, which is based on surface plasmon bistability. A theoretical model for recovering nanosecond pulse signals is derived to describe the nonlinear process. It is found that the incident angle, polarization state, medium properties, and input noise intensity all determine the efficiency and fidelity of the output signal. The bistable behavior of the output intensity can be accurately controlled to obtain a cross-correlation gain larger than 6 in a wide range of input signal-to-noise ratio from 1:5 to 1:30. Meanwhile, the distortion in the time domain induced by phase shift can be reduced to a negligible level. This work provides a potential method for detecting low-level or hidden pulse signals in various communication fields. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:We have proposed a compact dual-wavelength all-fiber pulse laser based on a single-walled carbon nanotube and chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBGs). A transmission filter is composed of a circulator and two CFBGs and is capable of controlling the operation of the proposed fiber laser. Mode-locking operations can be switched between 1551.2 and 1548.6 nm with the appropriate adjustment of polarization controller. Our laser delivers the pulses with the spectral bandwidth of about 0.6 nm and the pulse duration of about 7 ps. This work provides a low-cost, stable, and dual-wavelength ultrafast-pulsed laser source suitable for practical applications.

Abstract:The optical forces and intrinsic optical torque of a highly focused radially polarized beam on a Rayleigh spheroidal particle are calculated with the dipole approximation. Numerical results show that the maximal trapping forces depend strongly on the orientation of the particle, and the torque is always perpendicular to the plane containing the major axis of the spheroid and the optical axis. As a result of optical mechanical and torque equilibrium, the spheroidal particle will stay at the focus with its major axis of the spheroid parallel to the optical axis. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:Due to the moving plane mirror, tilt compensation is crucial and challenging in designing high precision Michelson-type interferometers. In this paper, we propose an optical configuration design using an image rotator and plane mirrors, including a movable double-sided mirror (DSM) to balance out the tilt of the mirror. We analysed the optical path differences (OPD) caused by the tilt of the DSM and their effects on interferogram under different tilt cases. Analyses demonstrate that this design is able to cancel out the offset of the OPD introduced by the tilt pitch angle. For different incident rays in parallel, the position of the tilt centre has no relationship with the change of the OPD, implying that the OPD could be self-compensated, and the modulation of the interferogram will not be degraded due to the tilt. This configuration effectively relaxes the requirements on the control of the precision of the postures of the moving mirror and thus may have broad applications. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:In order to remove the haze in natural disaster remote sensing images, an approach based on dark channel and hazy image degradation model was presented, which could remove the haze by using guided filter. Firstly, images of natural disaster were divided into fog area and mist area by threshd, and different methods were used to obtain the dark channel of the images.Then, guided filter was used to optimize the transmmission map, and the contrast of the images was stretched to improve the dynamic range of the images. A series of natural disaster remote sensing images were chosen to test the alogrithm of haze removal. Finally, a series of evaluate parameters were proposed to assess the method. The result shows that the proposed algorithm can remove the haze of the images, improve the image quality, and enhance the color and detail of the images, so that the high-quality images can be obtained, which meet the requirements of haze removal for natural disaster remote sensing images to some extent. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:Aiming at the problem of high miss detection rate and false positive rate in the computer aided CT image lung nodule detection, a multi-position coordination algorithm for lung nodule detection based on the Gestalt theory is proposed. The algorithm simulates the process of human visual system recognizing things, builds up an isotropic sagittal image sequence and a coronary image sequence in turn for the axial view image sequence. The average intensity projection (AIP) is conducted for the three positions in a certain sequence to obtain the AIP image, which fuses in the local 3D information from three position images. The pulmonary nodule characteristics are used to detect the AIP image and mark the lung nodule area. In order to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm, 2 professional doctors marked 372 lung nodules (diameter 2-5 mm) with independent "blind" method, which were used for the detection reference. Detection was conducted using the proposed algorithm, and the result was compared with the reference. The results show that the detection correct rate is 98%, the false positive rate is 2%. According to the reference data, there were 2 suspected areas where false detection and miss detection occurred, however after the doctors reviewed the CT image sequences, it was revealed that the detection results of the algorithm are correct. Therefore the proposed algorithm can assist doctors to detect lung nodules with low miss detection rate and false positive rate. However, there is still the risk of miss detection when the lung nodule has weak greyscale and small volume, which needs further study. &copy; 2015, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:Articulated human pose estimation in unconstrained conditions is a great challenge. We propose a deep structure that represents a human body in different granularity from coarse-to-fine for better detecting parts and describing spatial constrains between different parts. Typical approaches for this problem just utilize a single level structure, which is difficult to capture various body appearances and hard to model high-order part dependencies. In this paper, we build a three layer Markov network to model the body structure that separates the whole body to poselets (combined parts) then to parts representing joints. Parts at different levels are connected through a parent-child relationship to represent high-order spatial relationships. Unlike other multi-layer models, our approach explores more reasonable granularity for part detection and sophisticatedly designs part connections to model body configurations more effectively. Moreover, each part in our model contains different types so as to capture a wide range of pose modes. And our model is a tree structure, which can be trained jointly and favors exact inference. Extensive experimental results on two challenging datasets show the performance of our model improving or being on-par with state-of-the-art approaches. &copy; 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:As a general rule, the software method is used to obtain large field images, which is not timely and convenient. In order to tackle the disadvantage of this method, based on FPGA, a kind of programmable technologies, a large field of view imaging system had put forward and achieved, which can fulfill the real time stitching of the data from multiple cameras. Through the APTINA's color CMOS image sensor MT9M034, the original image information had gained and then the real time data collection, data cache, stitching and transmission had accomplished centering on the Xilinx's Virtex-5 FPGA. Firstly, the automatic adjustment of brightness differences of the original images was preprocessed in order to improve the overall mosaic effect. Secondly, information detection of relative shift amount was completed by the use of phase correlation method to register the original images. Finally, the two adjacent images' overlap area was fused by the use of linear weighted fusion algorithm to make the mosaic image achieve a smoothly fading in and out transitional effect. Experimental results show that the imaging system is simple and reliable, and can effectively increase the field of view of observation. The stitched large field images are of high-definition and real time, with a certain degree of representativeness and practicality. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics. All right reserved.

Abstract:We measured the dielectric constant of optically excited silicon and tungsten using a dual-Angle femtosecond reflectivity pump-probe technique. The energy deposition in the formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) is then investigated by simulating the laser pulse interaction with an initially random distributed rough surface using 3D-Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method, with the measured dielectric constant as a material input. We found in the FDTD simulation periodic energy deposition patterns both perpendicular and parallel to the laser polarization. The origin of them are discussed for originally plasmonic and non-plasmonic material.

Chalcogenide glass tubes with precise wall thickness and fine surface properties were prepared by tube-rotating technique and the fibers with core of 40 &mu;m, cladding of 50 &mu;m and error of 1% in diameter were drawn by rod-in-tube method. The fiber had good mechanical and optical performances, which general optical loss was less than 0.5 dB/m and the bending radius was less than 4 mm based on the bending test. The line-plane-switching fiber bundle which format was 64&times;9 quadrate array to implement 192&times;3 linear array was made from these chalcogenide glass and long-array infrared push-broom image was successfully demonstrated. The results prove that the fibers and bundle have excellent properties and push-broom infrared system based on the line-plane-switching fiber bundle being feasibility. &copy;, 2015, Science Press.

Abstract:A strip/slot hybrid waveguide with double horizontal silicon nanocrystals slots is proposed to achieve flat and low dispersion with four zero dispersion wavelengths. By tuning structural parameters of the waveguide, dispersion tailoring is fully characterized. The flat dispersion varying between -13 and 14 ps/(nm &middot; km) is obtained over an 845 nm bandwidth. A broadband supercontinuum spectrum, spanning from 1.15 to 3.65 &mu;m in the -15 dB level, was generated in this waveguide pumped by a femtosecond pulse at 1.86 &mu;m. Results indicate that the waveguide has great potential in near- and mid-infrared nonlinear applications. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:Coherent Anti-Stokes Raman Scattering (CARS) microscopy is a valuable tool for label-free imaging of biological samples. As a major drawback quantification based on CARS images is compromised by the appearance of a nonresonant background. In this paper we propose and demonstrate a wide-field CARS vibrational phase imaging scheme that allows for nonresonant background suppression. Several CARS images at a few consecutive planes perpendicular to the propagation direction were recorded to reconstruct a phase map utilizing the iteration phase retrieval method. Experimental results verify that the CARS background is efficiently suppressed by the phase imaging approach, as compared to traditional CARS imaging without background correction. The proposed background correction method is robust against environmental disturbance, since the experimental implementation of the suggested detection scheme requires no reference beam. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:We have demonstrated a high-resolution, low-injection-signal-power optical sampling system using a 20-m-length dispersion-flattened photonics crystal fiber as optical sampling gate, and employing bridge-form low noise optical fiber amplifier. Optical pulse trains with -35 dBm input power and 1.25 ps interval were clearly displayed by using our all optical sampling system. To measure the temporal resolution of system accurately, optical pulse trains from a commercial 40 GHz actively mode-locked fiber laser, were injected into the optical sampling system and an autocorrelator with 5-fs resolution, respectively. 1.02 and 0.83 ps pulse-width were obtained by using our optical sampling system and the autocorrelator, respectively. These measured results show that the resolution of the system is as high as 0.6 ps. &copy; Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015.

Abstract:Based on the theories of the ring resonators and the directional coupler, the theoretical models of the microfiber double-knot resonator with a serial structure and the microfiber double-knot resonator with a parallel structure were proposed, the mathematic expressions between the output light field and the input one in the two resonators were deduced. The directions of the propagation and coupling in the two resonators were studied, the change rules of the transmission spectra under different diameter ratios of their two rings were analyzed. Numerical simulation indicates that the number of the transmission peaks of the microfiber double-knot resonator with a serial structure under the envelope of its transmission spectrum is equal to the diameter ratio of its two rings, the number of the transmission peaks of the microfiber double-knot resonator with a parallel structure increases with the increasing of the diameter ratio of its two rings and there is a narrower transmission peak per equal spacing peaks of the diameter ratio. The microfiber double-knot resonator with a serial structure for approximately equivalent diameters and the microfiber double-knot resonator with a parallel structure for a diameter ratio of approximate 2 were fabricated. The experimental transmission spectra show good agreements with the theoretical ones for each structure, indicating that the theoretical analysis is considerably correct. The microfiber double-knot resonator with a serial structure and that with a parallel structure for proper diameter ratios have significant applications in optical filters, miniature lasers, sensors, and so on. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:To satisfy the requirement of the astronomical observation, a novel timing sequence of frame transfer CCD is proposed. The multiple functions such as the adjustments of work pattern, exposure time and frame frequency are achieved. There are four work patterns: normal, standby, zero exposure and test. The adjustment of exposure time can set multiple exposure time according to the astronomical observation. The fame frequency can be adjusted when dark target is imaged and the maximum exposure time cannot satisfy the requirement. On the design of the video processing, offset correction and adjustment of multiple gains are proposed. Offset correction is used for eliminating the fixed pattern noise of CCD. Three gains pattern can improve the signal to noise ratio of astronomical observation. Finally, the images in different situations are collected and the system readout noise is calculated. The calculation results show that the designs in this paper are practicable. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:We propose a novel passively nanotube-mode-locked fiber laser, which consists of a linear oscillator generating conventional solitons (CSs) and a ring oscillator delivering dissipative solitons (DSs) simultaneously. The CSs exhibit distinct spectral sidebands with a bandwidth of &sim;0.53 nm and duration of &sim;5.47 ps, while the DSs have a quasi-rectangular spectral profile with a bandwidth of &sim;11.9 nm. The pulse duration of chirped DSs is &sim;5.30 ps and can be further compressed to &sim;0.55 ps external to the cavity. The experimental observations are well confirmed by numerical results. This compact all-fiber laser delivering two different types of ultrafast soliton simultaneously is quite cost-efficient for practical applications, such as optical communications, nonlinear optics and ultrafast optics. &copy; 2015 Astro Ltd.

Abstract:Cotton stalk based activated carbon (AC) was prepared from Xinjiang, China by H3PO4 as activating reagent. In order to improve electrochemical properties of AC, a series of AC/MnO<inf>2</inf> (electrolytic manganese dioxide)/AC composites with different MnO<inf>2</inf> contents were prepared. The samples specific surface area and pore distribution were characterised by Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET); the structure and morphology were characterised by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) respectively. Moreover, the improvements of activated carbon modified by MnO<inf>2</inf> were confirmed by the experiment of galvanostatic current charge/ discharge, cyclic voltammograms and alternating current impedance tests respectively. The results show that the specific capacitance (169 F g^-1) of the composite material electrode (the contents of MnO<inf>2</inf> is 5%) would be higher in 1&middot;0 mol L^-1 Et<inf>4</inf>NBF<inf>4</inf>/AN electrolyte at 2&middot;0 A g^-1 than other composite materials, which is 39% higher than the present study. The capacitance was kept more than 99&middot;2% after 500 cycles and still higher than that of activated carbon materials. &copy; 2015 W. S. Maney & Son Ltd.

Abstract:CMOS sensors have more advantages than traditional CCD sensors. The imaging system based on CMOS has become a hot spot in research and development. In order to achieve the real-time data acquisition and high-speed transmission, we design a high-speed CMOS imaging system on account of FPGA. The core control chip of this system is XC6SL75T and we take advantages of CameraLink interface and AM41V4 CMOS image sensors to transmit and acquire image data. AM41V4 is a 4 Megapixel High speed 500 frames per second CMOS image sensor with global shutter and 4/3" optical format. The sensor uses column parallel A/D converters to digitize the images. The CameraLink interface adopts DS90CR287 and it can convert 28 bits of LVCMOS/LVTTL data into four LVDS data stream. The reflected light of objects is photographed by the CMOS detectors. CMOS sensors convert the light to electronic signals and then send them to FPGA.

Abstract:Lots of research work on the X-ray pulsar navigation detector has been carried out, but the rigorous quantitative calibration results of these detectors have never been given out. In order to further promote the research process in X-ray pulsar navigation field, a kind of high-precision X-ray source which could be tunable in energy distribution and photon flux is necessary. A new method has been proposed to generate such an X-ray source, in which a conventional X-ray tube which is called the original level tube is used to excite a special fluorescence target to generate fluorescence X-ray source. Firstly, the primary experiment system is built, with which the intensity of the fluorescence X-ray source is measured in atmospheric environment. The result indicates that the fluorescence X-ray source can be implemented in vacuum system to calibrate the detectors. Then an integral fluorescence X-ray source is fabricated which can be used in vacuum system and its intensity is measured under the condition of D&lt;inf&gt;x&lt;/inf&gt; = 300 cm and I&lt;inf&gt;a&lt;/inf&gt; = 200 &mu;A. The photo fluxes are obtained to be 19.57 phs/s at 4.51 keV, 25.22 phs/s at 5.41 keV, and 33.27 phs/s at 8.05 keV. These data demonstrate the correctness of our method and that this new fluorescence X-ray source can be used to calibrate the x-ray pulsar navigation detector. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract:Czerny-Turner (C-T) spectrometer usually been used monochromators and spectral radiometers due to its compact structure and spherical mirrors. However, astigmatism greatly confines C-T spectrometer used in imaging spectrometers. Astigmatism-free methods were analyzed theoretically and verified experimentally under non-parallel grating illumination. As a result, astigmatism of C-T spectrometer can be corrected under convergent or divergent grating illumination. When the cosine square ratio of grating incidence to difference angle was more than 1, divergent illumination can correct astigmatism. Conversely, when it was less than 1, convergent illumination can correct astigmatism. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics. All right reserved.

Abstract:Femtosecond pulsed laser was employed to drill blind holes (or circle surfaces) and through holes in titanium carbide (TiC) ceramic by the helical drilling technique. The effects of spiral number, processing time, laser fluence and repetition rate on the qualities of holes (or circle surfaces) were investigated. Morphology of holes (or circle surfaces) and composition of irradiated areas were analyzed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM), a three-dimensional super depth digital microscope and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), etc. The results indicated that laser fluence and repetition rate had major effects on ablation efficiency and quality. Blind holes with taper bottom were observed when the laser fluence was above 6.37&times;10^-1 J/mm². With the increase of laser fluence, hole depth increased firstly and then decreased. The change in hole diameter decreased when the laser fluence was above 0.51 J/mm². The effects of repetition rate on hole depth were similar to that of laser fluence, while it showed a faint change in hole diameter at laser fluence of 1.02 J/mm² and laser repetition rate ranging from 2 to 140 kHz. Furthermore, through holes were attained at narrowed laser fluence ranging from 0.51 to 1.53 J/mm². The drilled holes had good circular geometry for entrance and exit. &copy; 2015 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l. All rights reserved.

Abstract:Sparse coding methods have achieved great success in visual tracking, and we present a strong classifier and structural local sparse descriptors for robust visual tracking. Since the summary features considering the sparse codes are sensitive to occlusion and other interfering factors, we extract local sparse descriptors from a fraction of all patches by performing a pooling operation. The collection of local sparse descriptors is combined into a boosting-based strong classifier for robust visual tracking using a discriminative appearance model. Furthermore, a structural reconstruction error based weight computation method is proposed to adjust the classification score of each candidate for more precise tracking results. To handle appearance changes during tracking, we present an occlusion-aware template update scheme. Comprehensive experimental comparisons with the state-of-the-art algorithms demonstrated the better performance of the proposed method. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:In order to measure the sub-pixel image motion of space camera which is caused by satellite attitude's instability or vibration, a method for image motion detection based on combination of corner detection and improved phase correlation is proposed in this paper. Firstly, it extracts feature points from the serial images using Harris detector. Then, the corners are used to construct a binary matrix. After that, the phase correlation for the constructed image is processed to get the relative output by taking the advantage of Fourier transform symmetry. Simultaneously, Blackman window function is taken to inhibit spectrum leakage caused by truncation for the output image. Finally, the sub-motion vector is calculated with centroid of mass calculation. On the basis of the theory proposed for measuring image motion, experiments for different sub-images with different image motions are carried out. Compared with other motion vector detection technology by soft algorithm, the simulations results show that this method not only inhibits the boundary effect but also avoids bringing truncation error, which improves the accuracy of estimation of image motion. Besides, this method effectively reduces the cost of computation and storage, improving the output SNR with good unimodality and real time property. The measure accuracy is good when the sub-image size is larger than 128128. The accuracy does not change with different scene of input images. The RMS error of image motion measurement can be controlled below 0.1 pixels, which meets the requirement of the space camera. Copyright &copy; 2015 Binary Information Press.

Abstract:Mechanical stability is a significant segment for an on-axis space telescope to assure its assembly accuracy as well as the image quality in the rigorous space environment, supporting structure between the primary mirror and the secondary mirror as a main structure of the on-axis space telescope must be designed reasonably to meet the mission requirements of the space telescope. Meanwhile, in view of the limitation of the satellite launching cost, it is necessary to reduce the weight and power compensation during the supporting structure design based on the satisfaction of telescope performance. Two types of supporting structure for a space telescope are designed, one is three-tripod structure which has three tripods located on the optical bench to support the secondary mirror assemblies and keep the distance between the primary mirror and the secondary mirror, the other is barrel supporting structure which includes a tube and a secondary mirror support with four spider struts. To compare the mechanical performance and launching cost of the two kinds of supporting structure, both structural and thermal analysis model are established. The analysis results indicates that the three-tripod support is lighter, has better mechanical performance and needs less power compensation than the barrel support. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:We investigated the highly efficient, nonlinear ellipse rotation (NER) effect in bulk SrTiO<inf>3</inf>crystal, which provides practical application as a pulse cleaner for ultrashort pulses. A highly stable, ultrafast NER effect was realized by using a bulk SrTiO<inf>3</inf>crystal with a fast response time, strong optical Kerr effect, high damage threshold, and wide transmission wavelength range. Transmissivity higher than 30% was obtained at a level of several mJ, in which the temporal contrast can be enhanced by about three orders of magnitude. This provides a simple and feasible technology for improving the temporal contrast for the ultrahigh power laser system. &copy; 2015 Astro Ltd.

Abstract:In order to improve the reliability and working performance of the optical window for airborne optoelectronic equipment, we conduct the aerodynamic analysis of airborne optoelectronic equipment under different flight speed, and get the aerodynamic load distribution of optical window under three different typical flight speed. By building the model of the optical window and simulating the model with the method of CFD, the deformation and stress caused by aerodynamic loading under different thickness of the optical window have been got. The results shows that the thickness of the optical window at 10mm could best meet the requirements of structural strength and quality. Then we analysis the impact of the deformation of the optical window on the imaging quality of the optical system. The deformation of the optical window is very tiny, and it is deformed from the flat into a spherical whose radius is very large. The MTF of the optical system after deformation are basically the same as its MTF before deformation. Thus, the impact of the deformation of the optical window on the imaging quality of the optical system can be ignored. The results of the analysis provide important reference for the design of the optical window for airborne optoelectronic equipment. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Technical analysis with numerous indicators and patterns has been regarded as important evidence for making trading decisions in financial markets. However, it is extremely difficult for investors to find useful trading rules based on numerous technical indicators. This paper innovatively proposes the use of biclustering mining to discover effective technical trading patterns that contain a combination of indicators from historical financial data series. This is the first attempt to use biclustering algorithm on trading data. The mined patterns are regarded as trading rules and can be classified as three trading actions (i.e., the buy, the sell, and no-action signals) with respect to the maximum support. A modifiedK nearest neighborhood (K -NN) method is applied to classification of trading days in the testing period. The proposed method [called biclustering algorithm and theK nearest neighbor (BIC-K-NN)] was implemented on four historical datasets and the average performance was compared with the conventional buy-and-hold strategy and three previously reported intelligent trading systems. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed trading system outperforms its counterparts and will be useful for investment in various financial markets. &copy; 2013 IEEE.

Abstract:Nonlinear optical processes are one of the most important tools in modern optics with a broad spectrum of applications in, for example, frequency conversion, spectroscopy, signal processing and quantum optics. For practical and ultimately widespread implementation, on-chip devices compatible with electronic integrated circuit technology offer great advantages in terms of low cost, small footprint, high performance and low energy consumption. While many on-chip key components have been realized, to date polarization has not been fully exploited as a degree of freedom for integrated nonlinear devices. In particular, frequency conversion based on orthogonally polarized beams has not yet been demonstrated on chip. Here we show frequency mixing between orthogonal polarization modes in a compact integrated microring resonator and demonstrate a bi-chromatically pumped optical parametric oscillator. Operating the device above and below threshold, we directly generate orthogonally polarized beams, as well as photon pairs, respectively, that can find applications, for example, in optical communication and quantum optics. &copy; 2015 Macmillan Publishers Limited.

Abstract:Multiple light scattering caused by turbid medium can distort the propagation of waves, thus the image will become blurred. A novel method called turbid lens imaging (TLI) is adopted to reconstruct this kind of distorted images. In this method, the complex electric field of output light needs to be obtained to calculate transfer matrix of turbid medium. Only the intensity information is recorded by CCD, the phase information will be merged in recorded images. As speckle images are generated when the incident light transmits through turbid medium, there will be obvious error in the phase retrieved by using Hilbert transform directly on the interference fringe pattern. In order to eliminate the influence of speckle intensity changes, the distorted wave image, reference beam image, light interference fringe image and background image are recorded respectively. According to the interference theory, interference cosine factor can be computed, and it will retrieve phase of distorted waves more accurately by using Hilbert transform on cosine factor. In the above method, the complex electric field of distorted wave and the transfer matrix of the turbid medium are successfully calculated. It is more accurate as the amplitude is measured directly. For speckle fringe, the calculation results are much more accurate than the Hilbert transform phase demodulation results. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:NonSubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) has the characteristics of multi-scale, multi-directional, multi-resolution and shift invariance. Because of down sampling, traditional contourlet transform will cause Gibbs phenomenon, NSCT can overcome the disadvantage, obtaining better fusion image. Due to Pulse Coupled Neural Networks (PCNN) excellent biological characteristics, it has already been widely applied to image processing. In this paper, we will combining NSCT and PCNN, making full use of their advantages and applying to image fusion. The original image is by NSCT transform, getting the decomposition coefficients and then calculating its spatial frequency, input them to PCNN. According to the firing times select fusion coefficients. Experiment result has shown that, compared with the typical wavelet transform and contourlet transform method, the method proposed in this paper whether in subjective or objective is better than other methods. 1548-7741/Copyright &copy; 2015 Binary Information Press

Abstract:Wavefront coding technique is a powerful technique which overcomes the defects of traditional way to extend depth of field. By inserting a phase mask into the traditional incoherent imaging system, wavefront coding technique does not reduce the resolution and the light gathering power of the optical system but enlarges the depth of field of incoherent imaging system. Although several kinds of phase masks have been reported, cubic phase mask is still of a classical type which has been investigated widely both in spatial and frequency domain. Since the phase profiles of phase masks adopted in classical wavefront coding systems are predefined with specific optical systems, the extension of depth of field is not tunable. Tunable wavefront coding systems are introduced by using a pair of detachable phase masks, which is possible to control the depth of field and bandwidth of system by changing the position of each component with respect to the pupil center. Ojeda-Casta&ntilde;eda [Ojeda-Casta&ntilde;eda J, Rodr&iacute;guez M, Naranjo R 2010 Proceedings of Progress in Electronics Research Symposium, Cambridge, July 5-8, 2010 p531] proposed to use a pair of cosine phase masks to make defocus sensitivity tunable. Zhao [Zhao H, Wei J X 2014 Opt. Commun. 326 35] investigated an improved version of Ojeda- Castaneda's design in frequency domain and found that the proposed system realized tunable bandwidth. The present study, based on the work of Zhao, analyzes the tunable characteristics of a pair of simple modified detachable cubic phase masks in spatial domain and frequency domain. Firstly, the ray aberration theory is adopted to give mathematical analyses and ray aberration maps of the proposed tunable phase mask. Based on the mathematical derivations, the size of point spread function (PSF) of system can be changed not only by profile of each cubic mask but also by the each mask displacement relative to pupil center. Secondly, a mathematical PSF based on the stationary phase method is derived in spatial domain. Simulations indicate that the positions of PSF translate in the image plane with the displacements of phase mask profile and the position of each component with respect to the pupil center. By analyzing the oscillations of PSF, the effective bandwidth is obtained. Through the expression, we can conclude that the effective bandwidth can be changed by the position, mask profile of each component and defocus. Only when the addition of two mask profiles is large enough, can the effective bandwidth be simplified without adding the influence of defocus. In addition, though the approximate expression of magnitude transfer of function (MTF) has been given by adopting stationary phase method in the appendix of previous work, it cannot give an intuitive grasp of the effective bandwidth in MTF map. Unlike the MTF expression derived before, the exact optical transfer function (OTF) expression is derived by adopting Fresnel integral in frequency domain. Exact MTF and phase transfer function (PTF) can be derived from OTF. Based on the exact MTF expression, simulations give an intuitive effective bandwidth in MTF map. Simulations also show the nonlinear property of PTF. The effective bandwidth and MTF can be changed by different phase mask profiles and positions, which indicate that the effective bandwidth and defocus sensitivity can be tuned. Analyses are conducted both in spatial domain and in frequency domain to verify the tunable property of the proposed phase mask, which provides theoretical foundation for tunable wavefront coding system design. &copy; 2015 Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract:A new approach to relative orientation based on dual quaternions is proposed. Dual quaternions are used to express a unified description of the relative position and orientation of two images in a stereopair. The coplanarity condition equation and its linearised model based on dual quaternions are established. According to the principle of least squares adjustment with constraints, a dual quaternion can be identified and the relative-orientation parameters can then be obtained by a non-linear transformation of the components of the dual quaternion. Experimental results show that the proposed approach is feasible and more reliable and efficient than the conventional approach based on Euler angles. &copy; 2015 The Remote Sensing and Photogrammetry Society and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.

Abstract:A switchable linear-cavity nanotube-mode-locking fiber laser is proposed by exploiting fiber Bragg grating for the first time to the author's best knowledge. The proposed all-fiber laser can deliver either picosecond or femtosecond pulses by controlling the polarization controllers. The durations of picosecond and femtosecond pulses are 16.4 ps and 838 fs with the central wavelengths of 1529.5 and 1560 nm, respectively. The femtosecond pulse has symmetrical spectrum sidebands, but the picosecond pulse almost has no spectral sidebands. Our work provides a simple, low-cost, dual-scale pulse source for practical applications. &copy; 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:The space-based surveillance, which would mainly use the space-based visible, has great value for civil and military applications currently and for a fairly long future period. In space-based surveillance, the visible and near-infrared radiation characteristics of the space target are influenced by its attitude variation. This influence is especially prominent in space-based imaging. In some ways, solar radiation cannot arrive at the surface of the space target, or the arriving radiation is not uniformly distributed because of the space target's strong reflection at a particular position. In order to solve these problems, the visible and near-infrared illumination characteristics of the space target surface are analyzed. Moreover, a notion that earth's reflective radiation can be used as illumination for space target imaging is given, and an accurate modeling method is proposed. Firstly, based on diffuse reflectance model, a method of mathematically calculating the illumination at space target's position from earth's reflective radiation is established. And a formula for calculating illumination is derived. Secondly, the coordinates of sun and space target at any time can be obtained by the Satellite tool kit software, in which the complicated multiplying matrix and coordinate transformation algorithm introduced in some references are avoided. Thirdly, the method of estimating earth's reflective radiation region at arbitrary moment is introduced. The grid division method is generated and the uniform sampling is used in each small area. Fourthly, the position of a surface cell is transformed from the sphere reference frame into the J2000.0 inertial frame. The earth's reflective radiation can be calculated through numerical integration. Finally, the illumination from earth's reflective radiation to a sun synchronous orbit satellite in an imaging mission based on space is calculated by the given parameters. The results show that the earth's reflective radiation is luminous enough for space target imaging when the satellite passes through arctic. When the satellite moves on the orbit, we can obtain more detailed information about target satellites' bottom then the ground simulation imaging. The on-orbit imaging results demonstrate the validity of the modeling method, which could support the foundation of our space-based surveillance system theoretically and technically and could be used as a reference of space-based orbit measurement and determination in deep space exploration. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract:We investigate the timing phase noise of fiber lasers mode locked by graphene oxide (GO) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs), respectively, integrated in a linear cavity fiber laser in the reflecting operation. Due to the shorter decay time of the GO and CNTs, weaker slow saturable absorber effects are expected and mode-locked lasers based on these two saturable absorbers exhibit low excess timing phase noise coupled from the laser intensity noise. Compared with a reference laser mode locked by semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM), GO based laser obtains a timing phase noise reduction of 7 dB at 1 kHz and a timing jitter reduction of 45% experimentally whereas CNTs based laser obtains a timing phase noise reduction of 3 dB and a timing jitter reduction of 29%. This finding suggests that saturable absorbers with short decay time have the potential for achieving mode locking operation with low timing phase noise, which is important for applications including frequency metrology, high-precision optical sampling, clock distribution and optical sensing. &copy; 2014 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:This paper proposes and demonstrates an optical quantum random number generator based on distribution of single photon pulse amplitude of a photomultiplier tube. The light emitted from ultraviolet LED is attenuated into discrete single photon sequence. After these photons are detected by the photomultiplier tube, the single-photon pulses with random distribution are output. Digital values of peaks of these single-photon pulses are used as the entropy sources of random number generation. In order to reduce the bias of the raw extracted random number, the SHA-256 post processing method based on FPGA is proposed and implemented. When our designed quantum random number generator works at a counting rate of 500 kc/s, 7 random bits can be extracted on average per detected photon, and a random number generation rate of 3.5 Mbit/s is obtained. The random bit sequences are tested by random number test programs ENT and STS. The test results show that the generated random bit sequences fully meet the standards of true random numbers. &copy;, 2015, Board of Optronics Lasers. All right reserved.

Abstract:'Smile' in high power diode laser arrays is mainly caused by thermal stress generated during packaging processes and operation. By numerical modeling, a three-dimensional finite element model of a conduction-cooled packaged 60W high power diode laser array was established. Finite element method (FEM) was conducted to simulate and analyze the thermal and mechanical characteristic of the diode laser bar in different scenarios. According to the variation of thermal stress and displacement across the laser bar, the influence of temperature and driving current on 'smile' was analyzed and discussed. Numerical simulation results show that 'smile' will decrease with the increasing heatsink temperature and increase with the increasing driving current. In this paper, the corresponding quantitative relationships of smile with heatsink temperature and driving current were obtained. The work provides theoretical guidance for optimizing high power diode laser array design, packaging process and reducing 'smile'. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:In order to obtain vitrified CBN composites, which have high performance of both thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, the effects of Cu on the properties of vitrified bond and the vitrified CBN composites were comprehensively investigated in this work. The results show that the vitrified CBN composites incorporating 6 wt.% Cu display excellent comprehensive performance including the increases by about 62.1% in thermal conductivity and 16.1% in bending strength. The substantial performance improvement of the vitrified bond and the vitrified CBN composites may be attributed to the high thermal conductivity and good ductility of metal Cu and its toughening effect on the vitrified bond, as well as formation of thermal conductive path in the vitrified bond. &copy; 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract:We present evidence that transmission loss in gated x-ray framing cameras can affect relative gains. Transmission loss is caused by a variety of factors including: incident voltage waveform, matched load, width of Au electrode gap, and so on. The transition electrode in MCP (Micro-channel Plate) is continuous gradual change line, and it has good capability of compensation. When continuous gradual change micro-strip line is designed, dielectric loss tangent is one of transmission loss factors too. The model structure is designed based on the analysis of modeling and simulation techniques and experiment data as well as forecast target. The transmission loss is reduced from 50% to 25%, the transmission efficiency is greatly improved. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Abstract A planar metamaterial structure with plasmon-induced transparency effect in terahertz region is proposed and systematic numerical study is presented in this paper. The metamaterial structure is comprised of two different spilt-ring resonators in the same plane. With the destructive interference coupling between these two split-ring resonators, the proposed metamaterial structure exhibits a large transparency window within a broad absorption spectra. Moreover, the origin of transparency window with extremely low absorption and strong dispersion is clarified by two coupled Lorentzian resonators analytical model, and verified by accurate simulation of the electromagnetic wave propagation in the metamaterial structure. The proposed metamaterial opens up the avenue to design micro-sized functional devices used in switching, modulation, and slowing down terahertz waves. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:Farmland is the material base of human survival and development. Currently, China faces the serious situation that a large population corresponds to less average arable land during a long term. As Chinese urbanization process has accelerated in recent years, farmland in particular area-suburb is often developed to construction land, and even suffers the risk of being illegally occupied. With the implementation of geography national condition monitoring plan on a national scale, China is in urgent need of the development of efficient extraction and monitoring method of farmland for the protection and rational utilization of farmland. High-resolution remote sensing image contains rich and detailed ground information, and it can accurately reflect the suburb terrain types and their spatial distribution. However, house, road, drainage, tree are mixed with farmland in the high-resolution remote sensing image of suburb, and the suburban grounds' features are very similar in the spectrum, shape and texture characteristics, which leads the extraction of farmland to become very difficult. It is more feasible to extract the farmland from the non-construction area, therefore, the construction area is separated out from the image in the first place. The best segmentation scale suitable for farmland is determined according to the multi-scale segmentation in order to accomplish the extraction of farmland in an object-based approach, and then the whole image is segment in this best scale. Furthermore, the typical samples of farmland and non-farmland are selected to train the support vector machine (SVM) model. After the farmland has been classified via SVM, the spatial distribution relationship between segmented objects is taken into consideration to remove the false alarm objects and offset the omitted objects. Specifically, the proposed method consists of four steps: construction area removing, hierarchical farmland extraction, classification via SVM, and judgment by spatial distribution relationship. As a result, according to the characteristics of the suburban farmland in high-resolution remote sensing image, an automatic farmland extraction method combining multi-scale segmentation and hierarchical recognition is presented in this paper. Firstly, an improved algorithm of Harris corner detection constrained by NDVI is developed to extract the corner, and based on the probability density map of built-up areas, the complex construction areas are separated by using Otsu algorithm (OTSU). Secondly, the estimation of scale parameter (ESP) is used to analyze the parameters for generating the multi-scale segmentation of the non-construction area, and then the optimal ones suitable for extracting farmland are selected to segment the image as a whole. Thirdly, based on three rules for identifying farmland objects, shape and spectrum are intergraded to extract the typical farmland objects from a mass of segmented objects; after the SVM model is trained based on the intact farmland samples and the non-farmland samples in construction areas, this model is used to classify the remaining uncertain ground objects. Finally, the spatial distribution relationship is taken into account to refine the classification results produced by SVM. In this study, high-resolution remote sensing image from QuickBird is used to precisely extract farmland in suburb. In the farmland extraction experiments, correct rate of the proposed method is 80.09% which is 17.88% higher than the object-oriented SVM classification method, and error rate of the proposed method is 12.26% which is 1.30% lower than the object-oriented SVM classification method. The final results indicate that the proposed method can effectively extract farmland with different structures and spectral features from high-resolution remote sensing image of the complex environment of suburban area. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering.

Abstract:We propose a linear-cavity switchable fiber laser based on a single-wall carbon nanotube mode-locker for the first time to the best of our knowledge. Two chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBGs) in series and an optical circulator are employed as end mirrors of the linear cavity. The linear-cavity fiber laser is simple and cost-efficient. By adjusting the polarization controllers, a switchable mode-locking operation is obtained at 1551.3 and 1557.9 nm respectively, corresponding to the central wavelengths of two series-wound CFBGs. The pulse duration and spectral bandwidth of ultrafast solitons are &sim;4.4 ps and &sim;0.65 nm for the short wavelength operation at 1551.3 nm and &sim;3.9 ps and &sim;0.71 nm for the long wavelength operation at 1557.9 nm, respectively. Our experimental observations are well confirmed by the numerical results. The linear-cavity all-fiber laser reduces the cost and is very attractive for ultrafast optics. &copy; 2015 Astro Ltd.

Abstract:In order to obtain the far-field distribution of high dynamic range laser focal spot, the mathematical model of schlieren method to measure the far-field focal spot was proposed, and the traditional schlieren reconstructed algorithm was optimized in many aspects in this paper. First of all, the mathematical model which used to measure the far-field focal spot was created, the amplificatory coefficient K of the main lobe intensity and amplificatory coefficient b of the laser spot area were selected; Secondly, the two important parameters were calibrated and the accurate main lobe spot and side lobe spot were captured by the integrated diagnostic beam fast automatic alignment system; Finally, the schlieren reconstructed algorithm was optimized by circle fitting method to calculate side lobe image center and weighted average method to fuse the joint image edge, and the error of traditional schlieren reconstruction method for side lobe center was reduced and the obvious joint mark of reconstructed image was eliminated completely. The method had been applied in a certain laser driver parameter measurement integrated diagnostic system to measure far-field laser focal spot. The experimental results show that the method can measure the far-field distribution of high dynamic range laser focal spot exactly on the condition that the parameter of mathematical model is calibrated accurately and the reconstructed algorithm of schlieren measure is optimized excellently. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:In this study a novel ultraviolet (UV) window material, fluorophosphate glass, was prepared by the melt-quenching method. The laser-induced damage (LID) feature of fluorophosphate glass was measured using laser damage experiments, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that fluorophosphate glass has a high ultraviolet transmittance (88%) at 351.00 nm. And the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of the fluorophosphate glass is almost 7.0 J/cm2, which is more than 2 times higher than that of fused silica (3.2 J/cm2) irradiated with a 8 ns and 351.00 nm laser by the same processing method. In addition, AFM and SEM images indicate that the damage is also insensitive to the surface roughness of fluorophosphate glass. &copy;2015 Old City Publishing, Inc.

Abstract:The paper presents a robust fuzzy-neural control scheme for an n-link robot manipulator with uncertainties. In the proposed scheme a fuzzy neural network is utilized to construct the control input by approximating the unknown nonlinearities of dynamic systems. The parameters of the fuzzy neural network approximator are modified using the recently proposed fuzzy-neural algorithm named Online Sequential Fuzzy Extreme Learning Machine (OS-Fuzzy-ELM), where the parameters of the membership functions characterizing the linguistic terms in the if-then rules are assigned by random values independent from the training data. Different from the original OS-Fuzzy-ELM algorithm, the consequent parameters of if-then rules are updated based on the stable laws derived based on Lyapunov stability theorem and Barbalat&rsquo;s lemma so that the asymptotical stability of the system can be guaranteed. Also a sliding mode controller is incorporated to compensate for the modelling error of fuzzy neural network. Finally the proposed robust fuzzy-neural controller is applied to control a two-link robot manipulator and the simulation results verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme. &copy; 2015 Taylor & Francis Group, London.

Abstract:Three types of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) composite films containing graphene oxide (GO), reduced graphene oxide (RGO) and novel sulfonated graphene oxide (SRGO) as a filler were successfully prepared by a simple solution casting. The structure and properties of graphene-based PVA composites films were investigated. The results showed that the properties of the polymer composites films were sensitive to the structure of graphene. GO acted as the best reinforcing filler to enhance the mechanical property of PVA because it has many oxygen functional groups which could enhance the interfacial interactions through the formation of hydrogen bonds with PVA chains. The tensile strength and modulus of the resulting PVA/GO composites could reach 280 MPa and 13.5 GPa, respectively. RGO could improve the dielectric properties of PVA and the electrical conductivities were increased by &sim;10¹¹orders of magnitude in the composites with 50 wt% of filler loadings as compared to that of neat PVA. SRGO could enhance the mechanical and dielectric properties of PVA simultaneously. The mechanical properties of PVA could be efficiently improved due to the strong interaction between the -SO<inf>3</inf>H groups on the SRGO sheets and PVA chains. The tensile strength and modulus of the resulting PVA/SRGO composites could reach 252 MPa and 8.5 GPa, respectively. Although the conductivity values of PVA/SRGO composites were less than those of the PVA/RGO composites, they were still increased by &sim;10¹⁰orders of magnitude in the composites with 50 wt% of filler loadings as compared to that of neat PVA. These results demonstrated that PVA films with enhancement in the mechanical and electronic properties can be fabricated with proper modified graphene. &copy; 2015 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Abstract:Fast foreground extraction is an important and challenging problem. Although GrabCut can perform well in foreground extraction, the average accuracy is not satisfactory, and more importantly, its computational cost is large. In this paper, we propose a fast interactive foreground extraction based on superpixel GrabCut and matting. Specifically, we use a superpixel method to process images in order to improve the efficiency of the GrabCut. To obtain a refined mask, we employ the Shared matting method whose trimaps are implemented by our constructed fast and adaptive trimaps (FATs). Experimental results demonstrate the proposed method is more competitive and effective in the visual sense, E-Time and MSE criterions. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:Transition-metal dichalcogenides, such as tungsten disulfide (WS<inf>2</inf>) and molybdenium disulfide (MoS<inf>2</inf>), are highly anisotropic layered materials and have attracted growing interest from basic research to practical applications due to their exotic physical property that may complement graphene and other semiconductor materials. WS<inf>2</inf>nanosheets are found to exhibit broadband nonlinear saturable absorption property, and saturable absorbers (SAs) are fabricated by depositing WS<inf>2</inf>nanosheets on side-polished fibers. Attributing to the weak evanescent field and long interaction length, the WS<inf>2</inf>nanosheets are not exposed to large optical intensity, which allows the SA to work at the high-power regime. The SAs are used to mode lock erbium- and ytterbium-doped fiber lasers with normal dispersion, producing trains of dissipative soliton at 1.55 and 1.06 &mu;m respectively. Simulations show that the bandgap of WS<inf>2</inf>nanosheets decreases from 1.18 to 0.02 and 0.65 eV by introducing W and S defects respectively, which may contribute to the broadband saturable absorption property of the WS<inf>2</inf>. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:The vision ability is fundamentally important for a mobile robot. Many aspects have been investigated during the past few years, but there still remain questions to be answered. This work mainly focuses on the task of road detection, which is considered as the first step for a robot to become moveable. The proposed method combines the depth clue with traditional RGB information and is divided into three steps: depth recovery and superpixel generation, weakly supervised SVM classification and context-aware label transfer. The main contributions made in this paper are (1) Design a novel superpixel based context-aware descriptor by utilizing depth map. (2) Conduct label transfer in an efficient nearest neighbor search and a temporal MRF model. (3) Update the learned model adaptively with the changing scene. Experimental results on a publicly available dataset justify the effectiveness of the proposed method. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:In this paper, we propose a new approach to overcome the representation and matching problems in age invariant face recognition. First, a new maximum entropy feature descriptor (MEFD) is developed that encodes the microstructure of facial images into a set of discrete codes in terms of maximum entropy. By densely sampling the encoded face image, sufficient discriminatory and expressive information can be extracted for further analysis. A new matching method is also developed, called identity factor analysis (IFA), to estimate the probability that two faces have the same underlying identity. The effectiveness of the framework is confirmed by extensive experimentation on two face aging datasets, MORPH (the largest public-domain face aging dataset) and FGNET. We also conduct experiments on the famous LFW dataset to demonstrate the excellent generalizability of our new approach. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:As a widely concerned research topic, many advanced algorithms have been proposed for hyperspectral unmixing. However, they may fail to accurately identify endmember signatures when coming across insufficient spatial resolution. To deal with this problem, an algorithm based on semisupervised linear sparse regression is proposed, in which unmixing procedure is reduced to seeking an optimal subset from the spectral library to best model mixed pixels in the scene. However, the number of the spectra with nonzero abundance is much more than that of the true endmember signatures. Furthermore, the selection of library spectra as endmember signatures is undesirable due to the divergent imaging conditions. In this paper, a novel projection-based nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) (PNMF) algorithm is proposed by importing spectra library into the NMF framework. The main novelties of this paper are listed as follows. 1) By introducing the spectral library, the extraction of endmember signatures is no longer restricted by spatial resolution. 2) Related spectra are selected and projected onto a subspace containing the endmember signatures. So that the number of endmember signatures is controlled by dimension of the subspace. 3) In PNMF, the endmember signatures are adaptively generated from the spectral library, and are matched with the observed hyperspectral images. This overcomes the difficulty caused by diverse imaging conditions, and makes the proposed algorithm more practical for real applications. The experimental results, conducted on both synthetic and real hyperspectral data, illustrate the advantages of the proposed algorithm when compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms. &copy; 2008-2012 IEEE.

Abstract:We propose an approach to correct the data of the airborne large-aperture static image spectrometer (LASIS). LASIS is a kind of stationary interferometer which compromises flux output and device stability. It acquires a series of interferograms to reconstruct the hyperspectral image cube. Reconstruction precision of the airborne LASIS data suffers from the instability of the plane platform. Usually, changes of plane attitudes, such as yaws, pitches, and rolls, can be precisely measured by the inertial measurement unit. However, the along-track and across-track translation errors are difficult to measure precisely. To solve this problem, we propose a co-optimization approach to compute the translation errors between the interferograms using an image registration technique which helps to correct the interferograms with subpixel precision. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, experiments are run on real airborne LASIS data and our results are compared with those of the state-of-the-art approaches. &copy; 2015 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers.

Abstract:We investigate the Fraunhofer diffraction of a Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beam incident on a dynamic superposed dual-triangular aperture. The evolution of the diffraction pattern from this aperture is analyzed experimentally and theoretically. A special aperture, called the hex-star triangular aperture, demonstrates interesting diffraction patterns. Further, the diffraction properties of integer, half-integer, and fractional orders of topological charges at the Fraunhofer zone are studied by using the hex-star triangular aperture. This study can provide additional information to enhance the understanding of the diffraction properties of the LG beam transmitted through a complex aperture. &copy; 2015 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Abstract:The pre-processing method of star image, star extracting and high accuracy star location method are studied to improve the accuracy of star location and reduce the amount of calculation during processing. The background and noise of CCD (Charge Coupled Device) image are analyzed, and pre-processing is performed: correct the light and dead point, estimate and remove the background and the phenomenon of non-uniformity with local mean iteration method. The improved cross projection method is proposed to extract the stars in the image and the calculation amount is reduced because the scanning and marking process is not needed compared with the traditional connected domain method. And the stretching of the star extracting range in horizontal or vertical direction is solved. The star location method with phase transfer function is proposed using the phase shift property of Fourier Transform. Experiment results show that the accuracy of our method is 0.0022 pixels (without noise), which is much higher than the traditional Calculation Method (COM) and our method can immune the noise very well. The experiment is also performed to the simulated star image and the results show that all stars in the image can be located precisely with our methods.

Abstract:In the process of developing the photoelectric image acquisition equipment, it needs to verify the function and performance. In order to make the photoelectric device recall the image data formerly in the process of debugging and testing, a design scheme of the camera simulator is presented. In this system, with FPGA as the control core, the image data is saved in NAND flash trough USB2.0 bus. Due to the access rate of the NAND, flash is too slow to meet the requirement of the sytsem, to fix the problem, the pipeline technique and the High-Band-Buses technique are applied in the design to improve the storage rate. It reads image data out from flash in the control logic of FPGA and output separately from three different interface of Camera Link, LVDS and PAL, which can provide image data for photoelectric image acquisition equipment&trade;s debugging and algorithm validation. However, because the standard of PAL image resolution is 720&lowast;576, the resolution is different between PAL image and input image, so the image can be output after the resolution conversion. The experimental results demonstrate that the camera simulator outputs three format image sequence correctly, which can be captured and displayed by frame gather. And the three-format image data can meet test requirements of the most equipment, shorten debugging time and improve the test efficiency.. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Light field is a representation of full four-dimensional radiance of rays in free space. Plenoptic camera is a kind of system which could obtain light field image. In typical plenoptic camera, the final spatial resolution of the image is limited by the numbers of the microlens of the array. The focused plenoptic camera could capture a light field with higher spatial resolution than the traditional approach, but the directional resolution will be decreased for trading. Two models were set up to emulate the 4D light field distribution in both the traditional plenoptic camera and the focused plenoptic camera respectively. The 4D light field images of the two kinds of plenoptic camera were simulated by the software ZEMAX. The differences of sampling methods of the two kinds of plenoptic camera were analyzed. A variable focal length microlens array was presumed to be used in plenoptic camera to implement both focused and unfocused light field imaging. Based on the recorded light field, the corresponding refocusing process was discussed then. The refocused images at different depth were calculated. A new method of enhancing the resolution of the refocused images by image fusion and super resolution theories was presented. A reconstructed all in-focus image with resolution of 3 times of traditional plenoptic camera and same depth of field was achieved finally. &copy; 2015, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

Abstract:Effective representation of image texture is important for an image-classification task. Statistical modelling in wavelet domains has been widely used to image texture representation. However, due to the intraclass complexity and interclass diversity of textures, it is hard to use a predefined probability distribution function to fit adaptively all wavelet subband coefficients of different textures. In this article, we propose a novel modelling approach, Heterogeneous and Incrementally Generated Histogram (HIGH), to indirectly model the wavelet coefficients by use of four local features in wavelet subbands. By concatenating all the HIGHs in allwavelet subbands of a texture, we can construct a nonnegative multiresolution vector (NMV) to represent a texture image. Considering the NMV's high dimensionality and nonnegativity, we further propose a Hessian regularized discriminative nonnegative matrix factorization to compute a low-dimensional basis of the linear subspace of NMVs. Finally, we present a texture classification approach by projecting NMVs on the lowdimensional basis. Experimental results show that our proposed texture classification method outperforms seven representative approaches. Copyright &copy; 2015 ACM.

Abstract:Blind pixels of IRFPA consist of fixed bad pixel and random bad pixel, the former is caused by material and manufacture defect, while the latter is mainly caused by temperature drift. Scene -based blind pixel detection and compensation algorithm is the effective method to eliminate these bad pixels and increase image quality. Aiming at the defect that the current filter-based detection methods can't distinguish random blind pixels and weak point targets, the response and noise feature of random blind pixels were first analyzed, and a new adaptive blind pixel detection and compensation algorithm based on fuzzy median and temporal accumulation was proposed. Fuzzy median filter was used to extract the potential blind pixels from scenes, then the exact distribution of fixed and random blind pixels were determined by temporal accumulation, and blind pixel compensation was performed finally. The experiments show that the proposed algorithm can effectively correct bad pixels while avoid misjudging weak point targets. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics. All right reserved.

Abstract:Bessel beams have been used in many applications due to their unique optical properties of maintaining their intensity profiles unchanged during propagation. In imaging applications, Bessel beams have been successfully used to provide extended focuses for volumetric imaging and uniformed illumination plane in light-sheet microscopy. Coupled with two-photon excitation, Bessel beams have been successfully used in realizing fluorescence projected volumetric imaging. We demonstrated previously a stereoscopic solution-two-photon fluorescence stereomicroscopy (TPFSM)-for recovering the depth information in volumetric imaging with Bessel beams. In TPFSM, tilted Bessel beams were used to generate stereoscopic images on a laser scanning two-photon fluorescence microscope; upon post image processing we could successfully provide 3D perception of acquired volume images by wearing anaglyph 3D glasses. However, tilted Bessel beams were generated by shifting either an axicon or an objective laterally; the slow imaging speed and severe aberrations made it hard to use in real-time volume imaging. In this article, we report recent improvements of TPFSM with newly designed scanner and imaging software, which allows 3D stereoscopic imaging without moving any of the optical components on the setup. This improvement has dramatically improved focusing qualities and imaging speed so that the TPFSM can be performed potentially in real-time to provide 3D visualization in scattering media without post image processing. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:The traditional Space Telescope has a tremendous potential shortcoming for very large aperture space telescopes. The total mass of the conventional monolithic mirror will skyrocket along with the increase of the apertures; even so much as cannot be launched to space even with the best current lightweight mirror designs. The use of a membrane diffractive optical element (DOE) can reduce the mass of large space telescopes and achieve as much as a factor of seven in mass savings per unit aperture area compared to lightweight mirrors. The primary lens of this telescope is a transmissive membrane etched with a diffraction pattern that offers a significant relaxation in the control requirements on the membrane surface figure. In 2012, the meter-scale transmissive membrane DOE was successfully developed. In 2014, the brassboard telescope of 5-meter diameter successfully demonstrates the ability to collect polychromatic high resolution imagery over a representative object using the transmissive DOE technology. All in all, the development of diffractive telescope with apertures in excess of 5 meter diameter has been put on the agenda. In this paper we first discuss the diffractive imaging system. Then some traditional deployable space optical systems are analyzed in the aspects of deployment methods and characteristics and a conceptual design for a 10m-diameter diffraction telescope is proposed. At last we talk about the key technologies for membrane diffractive telescope. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:The basic theory and design method of a broad-band spatial heterodyne interferometric spectrometer was researched based on the multi-order diffraction of echelle grating. The characteristics of the heterodyne interferometric spectrometer was described and the relationships between the instrument performance parameters (such as spectral resolution, spectral range, signal-to-noise ratio, field of view, and diffraction order) and the initial optical and electronic parameters (such as echelle grating, field prism, imaging system and detector) were discussed. Then, an experimental platform for the broad-band spatial heterodyne spectrometer was settled to demonstrate the above discussions. The designed spectral resolution is 0.173 cm^-1@16950 cm^-1, and the spectral range is 500 nm to 700 nm. The broad-band results were given with a laser source (543. 5 nm, 632.8 nm), a sodium lamb (589 nm, 589.6 nm) and a mercury lamb (576.96 nm, 579.07 nm). It shows that the average wavenumber sampling interval of recovered spectra is 0.17 cm^-1. When the triangle apodization is used in the process of spectral recovery, the measured spectral resolution is 0.39 cm^-1. The obtained results conform to theoretical results and the relationship among orders of recovered spectrum accords with the theory results decided by grating function. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Abstract:Hyperspectral images have been proved to be effective for a wide range of applications; however, the large volume and redundant information also bring a lot of inconvenience at the same time. To cope with this problem, hyperspectral band selection is a pertinent technique, which takes advantage of removing redundant components without compromising the original contents from the raw image cubes. Because of its usefulness, hyperspectral band selection has been successfully applied to many practical applications of hyperspectral remote sensing, such as land cover map generation and color visualization. This paper focuses on groupwise band selection and proposes a new framework, including the following contributions: 1) a smart yet intrinsic descriptor for efficient band representation; 2) an evolutionary strategy to handle the high computational burden associated with groupwise-selection-based methods; and 3) a novel MTSP-based criterion to evaluate the performance of each candidate band combination. To verify the superiority of the proposed framework, experiments have been conducted on both hyperspectral classification and color visualization. Experimental results on three real-world hyperspectral images demonstrate that the proposed framework can lead to a significant advancement in these two applications compared with other competitors. &copy; 2014 IEEE.

Abstract:Scene recognition is an important problem in the field of computer vision, because it helps to narrow the gap between the computer and the human beings on scene understanding. Semantic modeling is a popular technique used to fill the semantic gap in scene recognition. However, most of the semantic modeling approaches learn shallow, one-layer representations for scene recognition, while ignoring the structural information related between images, often resulting in poor performance. Modeled after our own human visual system, as it is intended to inherit humanlike judgment, a manifold regularized deep architecture is proposed for scene recognition. The proposed deep architecture exploits the structural information of the data, making for a mapping between visible layer and hidden layer. By the proposed approach, a deep architecture could be designed to learn the high-level features for scene recognition in an unsupervised fashion. Experiments on standard data sets show that our method outperforms the state-of-the-art used for scene recognition. &copy; 2012 IEEE.

Abstract:This paper presents a new nonlinear anisotropic Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) shock diffusion method to multi-frame image Super-resolution (SR) reconstruction. Firstly, matrix-valued diffusion tensor is constructed based on anisotropic nonlinear structure tensor, making full use of its directional smooth characteristics. Then, an anisotropic GVF is proposed to diffuse along tangent and normal directions separately, combing with adaptively weighted shock filter to enhance edge sharpness. Experimental results show that proposed algorithm enhances image edges and suppresses noise effectively. Copyright &copy; 2015 Binary Information Press.

Abstract:An algorithm was proposed to detect the space debris in the optical astronomical images. Maximum Projection was induced to reduce the data amount in the three dimensional space. When the space debris was detected, it was tracked by the particle filter thus the precise location information can be got at any time. The simulation results show that the method can perfectly meet the requirement of the space debris detection with a high accuracy (RMS error less than 1 pixel) and detection probability, and a low false alarm rejection.

Abstract:The threat assessment of aerial targets is the basis for improving the ability that air defense system deals with various objects. Considering the timeliness, multi-factor and imprecision in a threat assessment process, a group generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft sets (G-GIFSS) is constructed to fulfill the threat assessment. Among them, after selecting suitable evaluation indexes and quantitative methods, a multi-expert parameter set is introduced to overcome the knowledge limitation of the only one expert in original GIFSS. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method for threat assessment is verified by comparison with other state-of-the-art decision methods on a practical instance. &copy;, 2015, Northeast University.

Abstract:We proposed a novel age estimation scheme based on feature fusion according to Canonical Correlation analysis. Specifically, the shape and texture attributes of feature points in human faces are characterized by both Active Appearance Model (AAM) and Local Binary Pattern (LBP).Then, the canonical projective vectors are built via canonical correlation analysis for feature fusion. To improve computational efficiency, we first introduce Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) to the field of age estimation, and uncover the relation of the fused features and ground-truth age values for age prediction. The experimental results conducted on FG-NET age database show that the proposed method achieves better estimation accuracy while requires less computation time than the state of art algorithms such as BIF. &copy; Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015.

Abstract:Single image super-resolution (SR) has been shown useful in Magnetic Resonance (MR) image based diagnosis, where the image resolution is still limited. The basic goal of single image SR is to produce a high-resolution (HR) image from corresponding low-resolution (LR) image. However, most existing SR algorithms often fail to: (1) reflect the intrinsic structure between MR images and (2) exploit the intra-patient information of MR images. In fact, MR images are more likely to vary along a low dimensional submanifold, which can be embedded in the high dimensional space. It has also been shown that the structure information of MR images and the priors of the MR images of different modality are important for improving the image resolution. To take full advantage of manifold structure information and intra-patient prior of MR images, a novel single image super-resolution algorithm for MR images is proposed in this paper. Compared with the existing works, the proposed algorithm has the following merits: (1) the proposed sparse coding based algorithm integrates manifold constraints to handle the inverse problem in MR image SR; (2) the manifold structure of the intra-patient MR image is considered for image SR; and (3) the topological structure of the intra-patient MR image can be preserved to improve the reconstructed result. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm is more effective than the state-of-the-art algorithms. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:We theoretically propose and investigate a magnetically tunable narrow-band terahertz filter based on a triangular lattice silicon photonic crystal with a point and two line defects. The optical properties of the filter have been analyzed in detail. It is found that a single resonant peak with the central frequency of &sim; 1 THz is existed in the transmission spectrum, which has a narrow full width at half maximum of &lt;2 GHz. Moreover, under the control of an external magnetic field, transmission frequency and width of passband are adjustable, which reveals that the 2-D silicon photonic crystal waveguide with point and line defects can serve as a continuously tunable bandpass filter at the terahertz waveband. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:A simple scheme of a switchable multi-wavelength and dual-scale soliton fiber laser is proposed by cascading three chirped fiber Bragg gratings (CFBGs). By managing the cavity dispersion and controlling the losses of attenuators, quadruple-wavelength switchable pulses are generated, including one dissipative soliton (DS) and three conventional solitons (CSs). The central wavelength of the DS is 1565 nm with a pulse duration of 12.5 ps which can be compressed to &sim;571 fs after a 70 m single mode fiber external to cavity. Three CSs are achieved at 1539.5, 1544.5, and 1549.5 nm with pulse durations of 9.6, 8.7, and 8.8 ps, corresponding to the CFBG-based comb spectral filtering. These results demonstrate that the proposed method offers potential opportunities to exploit the flexibly switchable multiwavelength CS/DS-pulse sources at picosecond and femtosecond scales. &copy; 2015 Astro Ltd.

Abstract:Nondiffracting optical beams play an important role in contemporary optics due to their special propagation characteristics, i.e., nondiffracting in a diffraction-free zone, shape recovering behind obstacles or self-healing property. Liquid crystal spatial light modulators (LC-SLM) are widely used for generating nondiffracting optical beams in virtue of programmable and dynamic features. In this paper, we propose a complex amplitude modulation technique that can encode any scalar complex fields for generating the complex nondiffracting beams. Before experiment, the phase modulation curve of the phase-only LC-SLM is optimized into being linear in a range of 0-2&pi; by gamma correction in the way of variable binary phase gratings. Then, we experimentally generate the nonaccelerating beams, e.g., two zero-order Bessel beams with variable intensity distributions, and the nondiffracting petal-like beams generated by interfering with two coaxial Bessel beams. By scanning a reflection mirror near the focal region along the optical axis, a stack of two-dimensional images is acquired, and then a three-dimensional intensity profile of the beam is reconstructed with a software. We also experimentally demonstrate a new kind of multi-main-lobe accelerating beam with parabolic accelerating trajectory by modifying the spatial spectrum of classical Airy beam. Compared with the so-called vectorial accelerating beam with multiple main lobes in spheroidal coordinates, our generated two-main-lobe accelerating beam has a very high energy efficiency. The self-healing property of the two-main-lobe accelerating beam is also demonstrated. The presented technique can generate a variety of complex nondiffracting optical beams rapidly and obtain their threedimensional intensity distributions accurately, which has potential applications in the fields of optical microscope, optical date storage, optical trapping, optical micromachining, etc. &copy; 2015 Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract:Based on the Michelson interferometer, optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a fast, non-contact, coherent optical imaging technology. OCT can image the internal microstructure underneath the surface. Archaeological objects are valuable and thus require nondestructive testing techniques. OCT, as a non-destructive analysis technique, is suitable for testing any part of the mural and other cultural relics. High resolution OCT images can provide the detailed information of the paint layer on the surface and the ground layer underneath the surface, which is elusive for traditional techniques. The technique of OCT is introduced and the verification experiment of the mural of Tang dynasty is carried out. From OCT images, defect information of the paint layer on the mural topside and structure underneath the surface can be seen. The information is of great help to the research and repair of the mural. OCT can be used in the research and repair of murals as a powerful tool for the researchers. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancer types among women. Sonography has been regarded as an important imaging modality for diagnosis of breast lesions. Due to the speckle and the variance in shape and appearance of sonographic lesions, fully automatic segmentation of the breast tumor regions still remains a challenging task. In this paper, we propose an automatic interaction scheme based on an object recognition method to segment the lesions in breast ultrasound images. In this scheme, a 2D ultrasound image is firstly filtered with a total-variation model to reduce the speckle noise. A robust graph-based segmentation method is then used to segment the image into a number of sub-regions. An object recognition method incorporating the procedures of image feature extraction, feature selection and classification is proposed to automatically identify the regions which are associated with breast tumors. Finally, an active contour model is used to refine the contours of the regions that are recognized as tumors. This scheme is validated on a database of 46 breast ultrasound images with diagnosed tumors. The experimental results show that our scheme can segment the breast ultrasound images automatically, indicating its good performance in real applications. &copy; 2014 Elsevier Inc.

Abstract:The performance of Fourier telescope transmitting system directly affects the image resolution and quality. The parameters and performance requirements of laser are analyzed. The design outline of fiber laser is presented. Meanwhile, the point is put forward that the laser coherence length need to be at least 1.6 times of the residual optical path. The stability of laser power and frequency is simulated. To ensure the stability of the laser, some methods are put forward from the points of design, algorithm and practice. Furthermore, combined with the results of simulation and experiment, the influences of the transmitter performance on image quality is analyzed, from the aspects of transmitting aperture layout, aperture amount, position precision and the beam pointing error. And point out that baseline redundancy, image resolution, target spectrum and image quality are the factors should be synthetically considered when arranging transmitter array. The formula for calculating the number of transmitting apertures is obtained based on the two-dimensional sampling theorem and the statistical analysis results. The transmitting aperture number is calculated for the Fourier telescope whose resolution would be 5 cm for objects in 1000 km low earth orbit. In addition, it is concluded that the transmitting aperture position error should be less than 5% of the minimum aperture spacing. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:A spectro-temporal filtering method is proposed to increase the contrast ratio of chirped pulses. The advantages of this method include easy cascading, high transmission, and it can also be used in the high-energy chirped pulse amplifier (CPA) system. The effectiveness of the proposed method was experimentally verified by operating the spectro-temporal filtering method on a Ti:sapphire CPA system and then measuring the contrast ratio of pulse based on optical Kerr gate effect(OKG). The measuring result demonstrated that, after passing through one-stage spectro-temporal filtering system with transmittance up to 70%, the contrast ratio of the pulse was improved by an order of magnitude. &copy; 2015 Taylor & Francis.

Abstract:Scene recognition has been widely studied to understand visual information from the level of objects and their relationships. Toward scene recognition, many methods have been proposed. They, however, encounter difficulty to improve the accuracy, mainly due to two limitations: 1) lack of analysis of intrinsic relationships across different scales, say, the initial input and its down-sampled versions and 2) existence of redundant features. This paper develops a semi-supervised learning mechanism to reduce the above two limitations. To address the first limitation, we propose a multitask model to integrate scene images of different resolutions. For the second limitation, we build a model of sparse feature selection-based manifold regularization (SFSMR) to select the optimal information and preserve the underlying manifold structure of data. SFSMR coordinates the advantages of sparse feature selection and manifold regulation. Finally, we link the multitask model and SFSMR, and propose the semi-supervised learning method to reduce the two limitations. Experimental results report the improvements of the accuracy in scene recognition. &copy; 2013 IEEE.

Abstract:Nowadays, with the continual development of digital capture technologies and social media services, a vast number of media documents are captured and shared online to help attendees record their experience during events. In this paper, we present a method combining semantic inference and multimodal analysis for automatically finding media content to illustrate events using an adaptive probabilistic hypergraph model. In this model, media items are taken as vertices in the weighted hypergraph and the task of enriching media to illustrate events is formulated as a ranking problem. In our method, each hyperedge is constructed using the K-nearest neighbors of a given media document. We also employ a probabilistic representation, which assigns each vertex to a hyperedge in a probabilistic way, to further exploit the correlation among media data. Furthermore, we optimize the hypergraph weights in a regularization framework, which is solved as a second-order cone problem. The approach is initiated by seed media and then used to rank the media documents using a transductive inference process. The results obtained from validating the approach on an event dataset collected from EventMedia demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:A new method to get a X-ray framing camera with picoseconds time resolution was proposed based on time amplification. Its principle comes from that we use high voltage electrical pulse to get speed dispersion of the photoelectrons pulse first, and then the photoelectrons pulse will be stretched in axial direction by drift area, at the end the photoelectrons pulse after stretched will be framing imaged by a traditional MCP&iuml;1/4 microchannel plate&iuml;1/4&permil;gated framing camera. A model of the camera was built according to this method. Time amplification of the system is about 30, and image magnification of the system is about 0.4. Parameters for designing the camera system were presented after theoretical deriving and model simulation. At last, theoretical time resolution and spatial resolution of the camera were given. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:As a widely concerned research topic, many advanced algorithms have been proposed for hyperspectral unmixing. However, they may fail to accurately identify endmember signatures when coming across insufficient spatial resolution. To deal with this problem, an algorithm based on semisupervised linear sparse regression is proposed, in which unmixing procedure is reduced to seeking an optimal subset from the spectral library to best model mixed pixels in the scene. However, the number of the spectra with nonzero abundance is much more than that of the true endmember signatures. Furthermore, the selection of library spectra as endmember signatures is undesirable due to the divergent imaging conditions. In this paper, a novel projection-based nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) (PNMF) algorithm is proposed by importing spectra library into the NMF framework. The main novelties of this paper are listed as follows. 1) By introducing the spectral library, the extraction of endmember signatures is no longer restricted by spatial resolution. 2) Related spectra are selected and projected onto a subspace containing the endmember signatures. So that the number of endmember signatures is controlled by dimension of the subspace. 3) In PNMF, the endmember signatures are adaptively generated from the spectral library, and are matched with the observed hyperspectral images. This overcomes the difficulty caused by diverse imaging conditions, and makes the proposed algorithm more practical for real applications. The experimental results, conducted on both synthetic and real hyperspectral data, illustrate the advantages of the proposed algorithm when compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms. &copy; 2008-2012 IEEE.

Abstract:Hyperspectral images have been proved to be effective for a wide range of applications; however, the large volume and redundant information also bring a lot of inconvenience at the same time. To cope with this problem, hyperspectral band selection is a pertinent technique, which takes advantage of removing redundant components without compromising the original contents from the raw image cubes. Because of its usefulness, hyperspectral band selection has been successfully applied to many practical applications of hyperspectral remote sensing, such as land cover map generation and color visualization. This paper focuses on groupwise band selection and proposes a new framework, including the following contributions: 1) a smart yet intrinsic descriptor for efficient band representation; 2) an evolutionary strategy to handle the high computational burden associated with groupwise-selection-based methods; and 3) a novel MTSP-based criterion to evaluate the performance of each candidate band combination. To verify the superiority of the proposed framework, experiments have been conducted on both hyperspectral classification and color visualization. Experimental results on three real-world hyperspectral images demonstrate that the proposed framework can lead to a significant advancement in these two applications compared with other competitors. &copy; 2014 IEEE.

Abstract:We demonstrate an all polarization-maintaining (PM) fiberbased optical frequency comb and provide the detailed environmental stability analysis results. The frequency comb has been built by commercial available PM fiber completely, and its static uncertainty in optical domain is 350 Hz in 1 s when referenced to a low noise oven controlled crystal oscillator. The acoustic resonant frequencies of the system have been measured. It is proved that acoustic-vibration induced phase noise could be eliminated by low pass vibration-isolation structure. Further, the existence of the optimum working temperature is illustrated. At this temperature (289.6 K), the out-loop integrated phase noise of f&lt;inf&gt;r&lt;/inf&gt;and the temperature-drift induced instability of f&lt;inf&gt;CEO&lt;/inf&gt;reach the lowest level 31.6 &mu;rad and 0 kHz/(mW&middot;K) respectively. Finally, the system is proved to be stable under different humidity (18% &sim;80%) by a 240-day-long record of the f&lt;inf&gt;CEO&lt;/inf&gt;. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:We present a new method to measure the high-order topological charges (TCs) of Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) vortex beams by using a modified Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Counting the number of interference bright fringes between the LG beam and its conjugate beam determines integer and half-integer TCs through half of the bright fringe number. The proposed method can measure the order of the integer TC up to 90, which is higher than that achieved by previous methods. This technique opens up new applications for LG vortex beams. &copy; 2015 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved.

Abstract:We have proposed and investigated two kinds of waveguide systems (i.e., dielectric-dielectric-metal and dielectric-metal-dielectric waveguides) which are able to support low-loss slow-light guided mode at telecommunication regime of 1.55 &mu;m. Simulation results demonstrate that the propagation length of the proposed waveguides is as long as tens or even hundreds of micrometers, which is more than ten times higher than that of the traditional metal-dielectric-metal waveguides. Moreover, the proposed waveguides have better slow light performance and a figure of merit that can reach a value as high as 18 000. In addition, the slow-down factor can be flexibly tuned by adjusting the geometrical parameters. The proposed waveguide have advantages of low loss and compact configuration, which can find potential applications, such as optical buffers, in highly integrated optical communication systems. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:We investigate the role of surface nanoscale topographies in the inhomogeneous coupling of laser radiation to Ni-based superalloy CMSX-4 surfaces and in the formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures. The initial surface arbitrary roughness is already able, upon laser exposure, to induce low-spatial-frequency and high-spatial-frequency structures, actively determining an interference of incoming and scattered fields resulting in spatial energy modulation. A topology variation with the incoming dose via the number of pulses determines a correlated evolution in the regular ripple arrangements. The scattering pattern is severely influenced by the scattering source geometries. Therefore, we equally study experimentally the role of one-dimensional nanoscale grooves in determining polarization-dependent structuring patterns at increasing irradiation dose. Finally, the role of surface nanostructures in generating the surface modulation of deposited energy is analyzed by finite-difference-time-domain simulation. Ripple formation in multi-pulses is a result of the feedback process between light and nanostructures. &copy; 2016 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract:Bladder wall segmentation from Magnetic Resonance (MR) images plays a crucial role in clinical applications. Level set-based methods are often used to extract the bladder boundaries. When suffering from the fuzzy boundaries, it often results in confused and leaking boundaries. It has been proved that an accurate shape prior can generate an effective force to address these problems. However, the shape prior estimation for the bladder is difficult due to the complex shape variations. Moreover, how to constrain the level set is another challenge. In this paper, we first propose a partial sparse shape model to construct a robust shape prior. Specifically, the partial reliable contour is encoded by the corresponding partial shape dictionary and decoded on the complete shape dictionary to obtain a complete reliable shape prior. Second, we propose a novel sector-driven level set model for locally constraining the evolution to address the problems caused by fuzzy boundaries. Our method was validated on 167 T2 FSE MR images acquired from 15 different patients, better results were obtained compared to the state-of-the-art methods. &copy; 2015, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

Abstract:In order to study the slow-light effect in the microfiber based resonator, a microfiber double-knot resonator with a parallel structure was designed and fabricated. Based on the theories of the ring resonator and the direction coupler, the theoretical model of the microfiber double-knot resonator with a parallel structure was proposed, the direction of the light-field propagation and coupling in the resonator was analyzed, the mathematic expression between the output light and the input one in the resonator was deduced, and the expression of the group delay time was also obtained. By numerical simulating method, the spectra of the transmission and the group delay time were given, the corresponding relationship between group delays and resonant wavelengths of the transmission spectrum in the resonator was analyzed. The numerical result indicates that a large group delay can be obtained at the resonant wavelength with a large extinction ratio in the resonator. In experimental, a microfiber double-knot resonator with a parallel structure was fabricated, the transmission spectrum of the fabricated resonator was well consistent with the theoretical simulation, indicating that the theoretical analysis is correct. Employing the pulse-delay method in the Oscilloscope, a measuring system of the slow-light delay in the resonator was set up. A group delay of about 75 ps in the fabricated resonator is achieved, which is larger than the reported value. The resonator could be beneficial to applicating in data delay lines, optical switches and optical memories, etc. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society. All right reserved.

Abstract:High power diode lasers have been widely used in many fields. For many applications, a diode laser needs to be robust under on-off power-cycling as well as environmental thermal cycling conditions. To meet the requirements, the conduction cooled single bar CS-packaged diode laser arrays must have high durability to withstand thermal fatigue and long lifetime. In this paper, a complete indium-free bonding technology is presented for packaging high power diode laser arrays. Numerical simulations on the thermal behavior of CS-packaged diode laser array with different packaging structure were conducted and analyzed. Based on the simulation results, the device structure and packaging process of complete indium-free CS-packaged diode laser array were optimized. A series of high power hard solder CS (HCS) diode laser arrays were fabricated and characterized. Under the harsh working condition of 90s on and 30s off, good lifetime was demonstrated on 825nm 60W single bar CS-packaged diode laser with a lifetime test of more than 6100hours achieved so far with less 5% power degradation and less 1.5nm wavelength shift. Additionally, the measurement results indicated that the lower smile of complete indium-free CS-packaged diode laser arrays were achieved by advanced packaging process. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Previous graph-based semisupervised learning (G-SSL) methods have the following drawbacks: 1) they usually predefine the graph structure and then use it to perform label prediction, which cannot guarantee an overall optimum and 2) they only focus on the label prediction or the graph structure construction but are not competent in handling new samples. To this end, a novel nonnegative sparse graph (NNSG) learning method was first proposed. Then, both the label prediction and projection learning were integrated into linear regression. Finally, the linear regression and graph structure learning were unified within the same framework to overcome these two drawbacks. Therefore, a novel method, named learning a NNSG for linear regression was presented, in which the linear regression and graph learning were simultaneously performed to guarantee an overall optimum. In the learning process, the label information can be accurately propagated via the graph structure so that the linear regression can learn a discriminative projection to better fit sample labels and accurately classify new samples. An effective algorithm was designed to solve the corresponding optimization problem with fast convergence. Furthermore, NNSG provides a unified perceptiveness for a number of graph-based learning methods and linear regression methods. The experimental results showed that NNSG can obtain very high classification accuracy and greatly outperforms conventional G-SSL methods, especially some conventional graph construction methods. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:Optical parametric oscillation is the critical part in the preparation of squeezed states of light. The mode-matching and fringe locking technique should be employed to improve the stability of the optical parametric oscillator cavity. How the mode-matching efficiency influence the squeezing degree of the squeezed light and the locking accuracy of the fringe locking technique were analyzed theoretically. Then the fringe locking technique was employed to stabilize the optical parametric oscillator cavity after the mode-matching between the laser mode and the fundamental mode of the cavity. The theoretical and experimental results show that a perfect mode-matching would improve the squeezing degree and the locking accuracy of the fringe locking technique, when the mode-matching is optimized, the length variance of the cavity is 7.35 nm and the locking time is no less than 2 h, which is sufficient for the detection of the squeezed states of light. &copy;, 2015, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

Abstract:This paper presents two adaptive neural control schemes for a class of uncertain continuous-time multi-input multi-output (MIMO) nonlinear dynamic systems. Within these schemes, the single-hidden layer feedforward networks (SLFNs) are applied to approximate the unknown nonlinear functions of the systems and then the neural controller is built based on the approximated neural models. The parameters of the SLFNs are modified using the recently proposed neural algorithm named extreme learning machine (ELM), where the parameters of the hidden nodes are assigned randomly. Different from the original ELM algorithm, the output weights are updated using the adaptive laws derived based on the Lyapunov stability theorem and Barbalat's lemma so that the asymptotical stability of the system can be guaranteed. The robustifying control term is also constructed to compensate for approximation errors of the SLFNs. In order to avoid the requirement of the approximation error bounds, the estimation laws derived based on the Lyapunov stability theorem and Barbalat's lemma are employed to estimate the error bounds in the second adaptive control scheme. Finally the proposed control schemes are applied to control a two-link robot manipulator. The simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control schemes for the MIMO nonlinear system. &copy; 2014.

Abstract:As the precision of a photo-turntable control system using rotary inductosyn depends on the dynamic angular position measuring precision of a rotary inductosyn, this paper explores the system error of the rotary inductosyn. The error mechanism of rotary inductosyn was analyzed, and the system error of the rotary inductosyn was quantitatively and dynamically measured by using an experimental platform. Finally, the system error model of the rotary inductosyn was put forward based on the data processing and error mechanism, and the output signals from the rotary inductosyn were compensated by the error model. The software compensation method was verified and the experimental results for the rotary inductosyn with 720 poles, 12 bits show that the dynamic angle measurement accuracy is improved from 11.25&Prime; to 1.17&Prime;, while the angular velocity estimation accuracy is improved from 0.72(&deg;)/s to 0.09(&deg;)/s. The test results show that the proposed method improves the dynamic measuring accuracy of the rotary inductosyn significantly and satisfies the accuracy demands of photoelectric platform pointing control systems. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Abstract:In this paper, an ultra-broadband and polarization insensitive terahertz (THz) metamaterial absorber is presented and investigated. With the optimization of the structural parameters, resonant peaks are merged into a broadband absorption spectrum. The simulation results demonstrate that a wide bandwidth of 3.1 THz is obtained in the range from 2.6 to 5.7 THz, where the absorption is higher than 90% for the normal incident THz waves. The full width at half maximum (FWHM) of absorption spectrum is 95% with respect to central frequency (&sim;4 THz), which is five times greater than the FWHM of a single layer structure. Furthermore, this structure can keep the absorption above 88% over a large frequency range (&gt;2.5 THz) when the incident angle is smaller than 50&deg;. This metamaterial absorber can find potential applications in terahertz imaging and stealth technology. &copy; 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract:For the work of calibration and data retrieval of the wind field measuring Fabry-Perot interferometer, a method of nonlinear regression fitting combined with transfer function model was researched. First of all, the instrument transfer function and air-glow response model were established with a modified Airy function. Secondly, ground calibration was done to the Fabry-Perot interferometer system with a frequency-stabilized laser and the calibration data was collected. Nonlinear regression fitting step by step was applied to the processing of the calibration data to get parameters of the instrument transfer function. Finally, the wind and temperature of the simulated air-glow fringe, with different signal noise ratio, wind and temperature input, were estimated with the calibrated instrument transfer function model. The results show that the wind and temperature retrieval accuracy can excel 5 m/s and 10 K respectively for data with signal noise ratio better than 40. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract:Sparse representation-based visual tracking approaches have attracted increasing interests in the community in recent years. The main idea is to linearly represent each target candidate using a set of target and trivial templates, while imposing a sparsity constraint onto the representation coefficients. After we obtain the coefficients using l<inf>1</inf>-norm minimization methods, the candidate with the lowest error, when it is reconstructed using only the target templates and the associated coefficients, is considered as the tracking result. In spite of promising system performance widely reported, it is unclear if the performance of these trackers can be maximized. In addition, computational complexity caused by the dimensionality of the feature space limits these algorithms in real-time applications. In this paper, we propose a real-time visual tracking method based on structurally random projection (RP) and weighted least squares (WLS) techniques. In particular, to enhance the discriminative capability of the tracker, we introduce background templates to the linear representation framework. To handle appearance variations over time, we relax the sparsity constraint using a WLS method to obtain the representation coefficients. To further reduce the computational complexity, structurally RP is used to reduce the dimensionality of the feature space, while preserving the pairwise distances between the data points in the feature space. Experimental results show that the proposed approach outperforms several state-of-the-art tracking methods. &copy; 2015 IEEE.

Abstract:Autofocusing is a routine technique in redressing focus drift that occurs in time-lapse microscopic image acquisition. To date, most automatic microscopes are designed on the distance detection scheme to fulfill the autofocusing operation, which may suffer from the low contrast of the reflected signal due to the refractive index mismatch at the water/glass interface. To achieve high autofocusing speed with minimal motion artifacts, we developed a compact multi-band fluorescent microscope with an electrically tunable lens (ETL) device for autofocusing. A modified searching algorithm based on equidistant scanning and curve fitting is proposed, which no longer requires a single-peak focus curve and then efficiently restrains the impact of external disturbance. This technique enables us to achieve an autofocusing time of down to 170 ms and the reproductivity of over 97%. The imaging head of the microscope has dimensions of 12 cm &times; 12 cm &times; 6 cm. This portable instrument can easily fit inside standard incubators for real-time imaging of living specimens. &copy; 2015 Optical Society of America.

Abstract:Near-space platform has a high signal contrast and a long detection time. In order to realize effective detection of low altitude penetration target, a middle wave infrared (MWIR) optical system used in near space detection with high optical performance is given. First, the optical system scheme was described. Then on the basis of instrument and system consideration, the optical design parameters were distributed reasonably. The system had an effective focal length of 600 mm, an F-Number of F/4, a field of view of 2&omega;=1.16&deg;, spatial resolution of 18 lp/mm and a working wavelength range of 3-5 &mu;m. The system structure is simple. And the requirements of the spot, energy concentration, distortion are all satisfied. Because the change of environment temperature will deeply influence image quality of MWIR optical system, the temperature characteristic of the system is analyzed. Moreover, first-order ghost and narcissus effect of the system are all analyzed in CODEV software. The analysis results show that temperature, first-order ghost and narcissus effect requests are all satisfied. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Image pair analysis provides significant image pair priori which describes the dependency between training image pairs for various learning-based image processing. For avoiding the information loss caused by vectorizing training images, a novel matrix-value operator learning method is proposed for image pair analysis. Sample-dependent operators, named image pair operators (IPOs) by us, are employed to represent the local image-to-image dependency defined by each of the training image pairs. A linear combination of IPOs is learned via operator regression for representing the global dependency between input and output images defined by all of the training image pairs. The proposed operator learning method enjoys the image-level information of training image pairs because IPOs enable training images to be used without vectorizing during the learning and testing process. By applying the proposed algorithm in learning-based super-resolution, the efficiency and the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in learning image pair information is verified by experimental results. &copy; 2013 IEEE.

Abstract:The analysis of 3D medical images becomes necessary since the 3D imaging techniques have been more and more widely applied in medical applications. This paper introduces a novel segmentation method for extracting objects of interest (OOI) in 3D ultrasound images. In the proposed method, a bilateral filtering model is first applied to a 3D ultrasound volume data set for speckle reduction. We then take advantage of graph theory to construct a 3D graph, and merge sub-graphs into larger one during the segmentation process. Therefore, the proposed method can be called a 3D graph-based segmentation algorithm. After the mergence of sub-graphs, a set of minimum spanning trees each of which corresponds to a 3D sub-region is generated. In terms of segmentation accuracy, the experiments using an ultrasound fetus phantom, a resolution phantom and human fingers demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the 3D Snake and Fuzzy C means clustering methods, indicating improved performance for potential clinical applications. &copy; 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:An attitude-varied space camera changes attitude continually when it is working, its attitude changes with large angle in short time leads to the significant change of heat flux; Moreover, the complicated inner heat sources, other payloads and the satellite platform will also bring thermal coupling effects to the space camera. According to a space camera which is located on a two dimensional rotating platform, detailed thermal design is accomplished by means of thermal isolation, thermal transmission and temperature compensation, etc. Then the ultimate simulation cases of both high temperature and low temperature are chosen considering the obscuration of the satellite platform and other payloads, and also the heat flux analysis of light entrance and radiator surface of the camera. NEVEDA and SindaG are used to establish the simulation model of the camera and the analysis is carried out. The results indicate that, under both passive and active thermal control, the temperature of optical components is 20&plusmn;1&deg;C,both their radial and axial temperature gradient are less than 0.3&deg;C, while the temperature of the main structural components is 20&plusmn;2&deg;C, and the temperature fluctuation of the focal plane assemblies is 3.0-9.5&deg;C,. The simulation shows that the thermal control system can meet the need of the mission, and the thermal design is efficient and reasonable. &copy; 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:The absorption coefficient in the BiFeO<inf>3</inf>/TiO<inf>2</inf> bilayer film prepared by simple sol-gel method has been significantly improved relative to BiFeO<inf>3</inf> and TiO<inf>2</inf> film. Terahertz-radiation emission presents a direct evidence for the photon-induced carrier transport in the heterostructures. First-principles calculations agree well with the experiments and present an unambiguous explanation for the charge carrier transport and the enhanced absorbance. It is induced by the large electrostatic potential drop in the interface with the 109&deg;domain walls and the reduced recombination of electron-hole pairs in the BiFeO<inf>3</inf> side of the heterostructure. This work provides a new route toward designing novel photovoltaic heterostructures with high efficiency.

Abstract:In the conventional servo system, model analysis according to motor axis and base space is used as a reference. However, when analyzing the stabilized platform, it is not compatible due to in which exists inertial space and base space. In order to solve this problem, the multiple reference frame model was proposed, where direct-current motor model was based on inertial space. On the basis of the multiple reference frame model, an improved Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm was also proposed. As a kind of swarm intelligence algorithm, PSO was widely used in parameters optimization. The traditional PSO on inertial weight and slopping-over borders were improved, and then, it was adopted in tuning and optimization of PID parameters. The simulation and experiments results indicate that the improved PSO (IPSO) PID controller can obviously enhance the static precision and effectively isolate the vibration and disturbance of carrier. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics.

Abstract:Ti: sapphire crystal is one of the most important materials as a laser medium, due to its broad absorption band and widely tunable output band, therefore it has wide application in integrated optics. By femtosecond laser with repetition rate of 1 kHz, central wavelength of 800 nm and pulse width of 120 fs, double line waveguide in Ti:sapphire crystal is transversely written. The impacts of the processing conditions, i.e., inscribing depth, writing speed and the track distance on the waveguide formation are systematically studied, and the waveguide with better guiding mode is achieved when laser pulse energy is 2 &mu;J, inscribing depth is 175 &mu;m, writing speed is 90 &mu;m/s and the distance between two tacks is 26 &mu;m. And the double line waveguide shows polarization dependent optical guiding. Based on the near-field mode intensity, the refractive index profile of the optical waveguide is reconstructed, and the max positive refractive index change is about 1.9&times;10&lt;sup&gt;-4&lt;/sup&gt;. In addition, by using the scattering technique, the propagation loss of the waveguide is 1.82 dB/cm. &copy;, 2015, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract:We report on the generation and propagation of stretched-pulse in an erbium-doped fiber laser with near-zero dispersion. The pulse exhibits broadband spectrum with sidebands on long-wavelength side, which may be attributed to the strong gain and loss perturbations induced by the long cavity. After the extra-cavity propagation via a 19-m single-mode fiber (SMF), the spectrum of pulses almost keeps unchanged whereas the pulse duration broadens from 0.22 to 6.33 ps, indicating that fiber dispersion plays a key role in pulse propagation. Moreover, the evolution of pulse duration in SMF is in good agreement with that of theoretical predictions. This pulse evolution through extra-cavity fiber is quite different from the evolution of dissipative solitons, in which the pulses are compressed rather than broadened. &copy; COPYRIGHT 2015 SPIE.

Abstract:Regular machine learning and data mining techniques study the training data for future inferences under a major assumption that the future data are within the same feature space or have the same distribution as the training data. However, due to the limited availability of human labeled training data, training data that stay in the same feature space or have the same distribution as the future data cannot be guaranteed to be sufficient enough to avoid the over-fitting problem. In real-world applications, apart from data in the target domain, related data in a different domain can also be included to expand the availability of our prior knowledge about the target future data. Transfer learning addresses such cross-domain learning problems by extracting useful information from data in a related domain and transferring them for being used in target tasks. In recent years, with transfer learning being applied to visual categorization, some typical problems, e.g., view divergence in action recognition tasks and concept drifting in image classification tasks, can be efficiently solved. In this paper, we survey state-of-the-art transfer learning algorithms in visual categorization applications, such as object recognition, image classification, and human action recognition. &copy; 2012 IEEE.

Abstract:In order to suppress the periodic angle measuring error's fluctuation on gimbals and the imaging effect of photoelectric tracking, a measuring error model and an error control algorithm were established. Firstly, the mechanism of the measurement error of angular measuring system was analyzed, and a mathematical model for the periodic error was established in this paper. Secondly, a measuring error acquisition system based on the high precision fiber optic gyroscope and Fourier was established, and a specific expression of angle measurement error model was established through seven experimental procedures. Then, the periodic system error was compensated according to the measured angle error expressions through four steps. Finally, the effectiveness of control compensation was verified by tracking imaging experiments, and the experimental results show that speed error is reduced to 0.04 (&deg;)/s, is reduced 8 times. The error meets the requirement of the imaging system less than 0.1 (&deg;)/s, and the stripe imaging effect is greatly improved. &copy;, 2015, Chinese Society of Astronautics. All right reserved.
