Abstract: Fog is an inevitable weather factor affecting the performance of free space optical communication. Selecting the appropriate laser wavelength can effectively reduce the influence. Three atmospheric visibility of mist, fog, haze were considered in this paper. The transmission characteristic of mid-wave IR wavelength at 3.8 μm was compared with the traditional near-infrared wavelength at 1.55 μm that both belong to atmospheric transmission windows. Using Monte Carlo method, the propagation of a large number of photons along the horizontal direction was numerically simulated. Relationship between the relative light intensity and different receiving surface radius, photon transmittance under different transmission distance and different atmospheric visibility were worked out. The result reveals that the mid- wave IR wavelength at 3.8 μm, the light intensity is more concentrated under the same radius of receiving surface, and photon transmission is higher under the same propagation distance and less affected by atmospheric visibility. The wavelength at 3.8 μm is more suitable for horizontal link of free space optical communication in the fog than 1.55 μm. © 2016, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

Abstract: Making use of a facile and low-cost way for the preparation of a hierarchically organized novel hollow closed-pore silica antireflective coating (CHAR) with tailored optical properties and a mechanical reliability is of great interest in the field of solar photovoltaic technology. The process mainly contains two aspects: (1) a styrene-acrylate emulsion @ organic-inorganic silica precursor (SA@OISP) core/shell hierarchical nanostructure, consisting of a sacrificial styrene-acrylate (SA) primary template, was fabricated using a sol-gel method; (2) the self-assembly of the nanostructures leads to SA@OISP nanospheres forming the high-quality hollow closed-pore silica antireflection coating (CHAR) by a dip-coating process and a subsequent calcination treatment. The resulting SA@OISP nanospheres have a mean diameter of 65.2 nm and contained a SA soft core with a mean diameter of approximately 54.8 nm and an organic-inorganic silica precursor (OISP) shell with a thickness of approximately 6-10 nm. Furthermore, the prepared CHAR film exhibited a high transmittance and good ruggedness. An average transmittance (T

Abstract: We experimentally investigated the spectral fingerprints of high explosive cyclo-1,3,5- trimethylene-2,4,6-trinitramine (RDX) in terahertz frequency region. A home-made terahertz time-domain spectroscopy ranging from 0.2 THz-; 3.4 THz was deployed. Furthermore, two sample pellets (RDX pellet and polyethylene pellet), which were concealed in an opaque envelop, could be identified by using terahertz pulse imaging system. For the purpose of distinguishing the RDX between two pellets, we further calculated the THz frequency -domain map using its spectral fingerprints. It is demonstrated that the high explosive RDX could similarly be identified using terahertz frequency-domain imaging.

Abstract: A 1-D self-consistent fluid model was employed to investigate the effect of driving frequency on the discharge characters of a dielectric barrier discharge at atmospheric pressure in argon excited by a periodic Gaussian voltage. The simulation results indicate that there are two discharge modes: 1) Townsend and 2) glow modes in the multipulse discharge and different transitions between them during the discharge take place with the increase in driving frequency. When the driving frequency is 1 kHz, there is a tendency of transition from the Townsend mode through glow and finally back to the Townsend one during the positive half-circle of applied Gaussian voltage. However, the discharge in the half-circle can all along operate in the glow mode with the higher driving frequency. Moreover, when the driving frequency is sufficiently high, there are also distinct fluctuations of spatial performance of the charge densities in the positive column during the glow discharge. This is caused by the fact that a lot of charged particles created in the gas gap have not enough time to drift and diffuse to the dielectric barriers, and then these particles are preserved in the local discharge gap at such a high frequency. A comparison of the spatial and temporal evolutions of the electron density at different driving frequencies indicates that the increase in the driving frequency can enhance the plasma chemistry and also expand its volume. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: High flux of cold atoms is one of the key technologies to realize high-precision cold atom interferometer. The approach of concatenation of two-dimensional Magnetic Optical Trap (2D-MOT) and three-dimensional Magnetic Optical Trap (3D-MOT) is generally used to obtain high flux of cold atoms. The magnetic field distribution of 2D-MOT is the key influencing factor in this appliance. In this paper, three different(rectangular, race-track and saddle) mathematical models of Anti-Helmholtz coils in 2D-MOT were established to analyze the magnetic field distribution. Then, the magnetic field zero drift and the change of magnetic field gradient caused by the error of eccentricity, coils asymmetry, parallelism and inside diameter asymmetry were analyzed, which were produced in the manufacture and installation process using finite element analysis. Results show that the magnetic field gradient provided by saddle coils is more conducive to produce high flux of cold atoms when eccentricity error is less than 1.14 mm, coils asymmetry error is less than 0.016 A and parallelism error is less than 1.02°. This work may provide theoretical guidance for the design and fabrication of magnetic system of 2D-MOT of cold atom interferometer. © 2016, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

Abstract: We experimentally demonstrate ultra-low pump power wavelength conversion based on four-wave mixing in a silicon racetrack-shaped microring resonator. When the pump and signal are located at the resonance wavelengths, wavelength conversion with a pump power of only 1 mW can be realized in this microring resonator because of the resonant enhancement of the device. However, saturation of the conversion efficiency occurs because of the shift of the resonance peak, which is caused by the change of the effective refractive index induced by a combination of thermal and free carrier dispersion effects, and it is demonstrated that the thermal effect is the leading-order factor for the change of the refractive index. The maximum conversion efficiency of -21 dB is obtained when the pump power is less than 12 mW. This ultra-low-power on-chip wavelength convertor based on a silicon microring resonator can find important potential applications in highly integrated optical circuits for all-optical signal processing. © 2016 Astro Ltd.

Abstract: In this paper, an improved HSV color space based Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) image segmentation scheme is proposed to improve accuracy of segmentation on digital microscope color images, especially for those taken in non-uniform background illumination conditions and by a microscope with different magnifications. The proposed method has several steps including contrast stretching, color space transformation, threshold segmentation, morphological operations and median filtering. Adopting two thresholds is the innovation of this work. For performance evaluation, 260 ALL blood cell images from ALL IDB2-a public and free available blood sample dataset are used. The experimental results show the proposed method gets a higher accuracy in segmenting both high- and low- contrast blood cell images than the original HSV color space based single threshold method, showing a better prospect in subsequent automatic acute lymphoblastic leukemia feature extraction and classification. © 2016 ICIC International.

Abstract: Stimulated emission depletion microscopy (STED) has become one of the powerful research tools in the field of superresolution microscopy. As its spatial resolution is gained by phase modulation of the light field, the aberrations produced by optical systems and specimens may have negative impact on the focusing properties of two beams, especially the STED beam, resulting in reduced spatial resolution. In thick samples, the aberration effect may play an even more critical role in affecting spatial resolution. Here, we report our recent effort in correcting the aberration in STED microscopy by using coherent optical adaptive technique (COAT) so that the resolution can be improved. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: We report on the existence of optical Bloch oscillations (OBOs) and Zener tunneling (ZT) of Airy beams in ionic-type photonic lattices with a refractive index ramp. Different from their counterparts in uniform lattices, Airy beams undergoing OBOs show an alternatively switched concave and convex trajectory as well as a periodical revival of input beam profiles. Moreover, the ionic-type photonic lattice established in photorefractive crystal exhibits a reconfigurable lattice structure, which provides a flexible way to tune the amplitude and period of the OBOs. Remarkably, it is demonstrated that the band gap of the lattice can be readily controlled by rotating the lattice inducing beam, which forces the ZT rate to follow two significant different decay curves amidst decreasing index gradient. Our results open up new possibilities for all-optical switching, routing and manipulation of Airy beams. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: High resolution remote sensing image captured by the satellites or the aircraft is of great help for military and civilian applications. In recent years, with an increasing amount of high resolution remote sensing images, it becomes more and more urgent to find a way to retrieve them. In this case, a few methods based on the statistical information of the local features are proposed, which have achieved good performances. However, most of the methods do not take the topological structure of the features into account. In this paper, we propose a new method to represent these images, by taking the structural information into consideration. The main contributions of this paper include: (1) mapping the features into a manifold space by a Lipschitz smooth function to enhance the representation ability of the features; (2) training an anchor set with several regularization constrains to get the intrinsic manifold structure. In the experiments, the method is applied to two challenging remote sensing image datasets: UC Merced land use dataset and Sydney dataset. Compared to the state-of-the-art approaches, the proposed method can achieve a more robust and commendable performance. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: Optical frequency combs enable precision measurements in fundamental physics and have been applied to a growing number of applications, such as molecular spectroscopy, LIDAR and atmospheric trace-gas sensing. In recent years, the generation of frequency combs has been demonstrated in integrated microresonators. Extending their spectral range to the visible is generally hindered by strong normal material dispersion and scattering losses. In this paper, we report the first realization of a green-light frequency comb in integrated high-Q silicon nitride (SiN) ring microresonators. Third-order optical non-linearities are utilized to convert a near-infrared Kerr frequency comb to a broadband green light comb. The 1-THz frequency spacing infrared comb covers up to 2/3 of an octave, from 144 to 226 THz (or 1327-2082 nm), and the simultaneously generated green-light comb is centered around 570-580 THz (or 517-526 nm), with comb lines emitted down to 517 THz (or 580 nm) and up to 597 THz (or 502 nm). The green comb power is estimated to be as high as −9.1 dBm in the bus waveguide, with an on-chip conversion efficiency of −34 dB. The proposed approach substantiates the feasibility of on-chip optical frequency comb generation expanding to the green spectral region or even shorter wavelengths.

Abstract: The influence of the polarization angle between two-color lasers on the Terahertz (THz) emission was investigated based on a modified two-dimensional transient current model. By changing the polarization angle between the fundamental frequency laser and its second harmonic laser beam, it is found that, the emitted THz amplitude varys periodically with the chaning of the polarization angle in laser plasma, and the optimal angle is also changed with the different laser intensity. Under the comparatively low laser intensity (≤2×1014W/cm2), the THz amplitude can reach the maximum when the two-color lasers have the same polarization. However, the optimal angle will increase with the increasing of the total laser intensity when the laser intensity is high enough(>2×1014W/cm2). The electron density was firstly used to analyze this phenomenon under comparatively low laser intensity and then the residual drift current was utilized to reveal the underlying physical mechanism. It was found that, the residual current density is the essential source of the THz waves and which can determine the intensity of THz emission © 2016, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract: In this Letter, we demonstrate the formation of a stable two-dimensional lattice of colloidal particles in the interference pattern formed by four evanescent optical fields at a dielectric interface. The microspheres are observed to form a two-dimensional square lattice with lattice vectors inclined relative to the beam propagation directions. We use digital video microscopy and particle tracking to measure the Brownian motion of particles bound in the lattice, and use this to characterize fluctuations in the local ordering of particles using the bond orientational order parameter, the probability distribution of which is shown to be a chi-squared distribution. An explanation for the form of this distribution is presented in terms of fluctuations of the modes of a ring of particles connected by springs. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: Owning to the serious loss of photoelectrons striking at the input electrode of traditional microchannel plate (MCP), photoelectron collection efficiency (CE) of photomultiplier tubes based on MCP (MCP-PMTs) fluctuates around the MCP open area fraction and cannot make a breakthrough. Depositing a thin film of high secondary electron yield material on the MCP is proposed as an effective approach to improve the CE. The available simulation and experimental data to validate it, however, is sparse. In our work, a three-dimensional small area MCP model is developed in CST Studio Suite to evaluate the collection efficiencies of PMTs based on the traditional MCP and the coated one, respectively. Results predict that CE of the PMT based on the coated MCP has a significant increase and a better uniformity, which is expected to reach 100%. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: Face sketch-photo synthesis plays an important role in law enforcement and digital entertainment. Most of the existing methods only use pixel intensities as the feature. Since face images can be described using features from multiple aspects, this paper presents a novel multiple representations-based face sketch-photo-synthesis method that adaptively combines multiple representations to represent an image patch. In particular, it combines multiple features from face images processed using multiple filters and deploys Markov networks to exploit the interacting relationships between the neighboring image patches. The proposed framework could be solved using an alternating optimization strategy and it normally converges in only five outer iterations in the experiments. Our experimental results on the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) face sketch database, celebrity photos, CUHK Face Sketch FERET Database, IIIT-D Viewed Sketch Database, and forensic sketches demonstrate the effectiveness of our method for face sketch-photo synthesis. In addition, cross-database and database-dependent style-synthesis evaluations demonstrate the generalizability of this novel method and suggest promising solutions for face identification in forensic science. © 2012 IEEE.

Abstract: Abnormal event detection is extremely important, especially for video surveillance. Nowadays, many detectors have been proposed based on hand-crafted features. However, it remains challenging to effectively distinguish abnormal events from normal ones. This paper proposes a deep representation based algorithm which extracts features in an unsupervised fashion. Specially, appearance, texture, and short-term motion features are automatically learned and fused with stacked denoising autoencoders. Subsequently, long-term temporal clues are modeled with a long short-term memory (LSTM) recurrent network, in order to discover meaningful regularities of video events. The abnormal events are identified as samples which disobey these regularities. Moreover, this paper proposes a spatial anomaly detection strategy via manifold ranking, aiming at excluding false alarms. Experiments and comparisons on real world datasets show that the proposed algorithm outper-forms state of the arts for the abnormal event detection problem in crowded scenes. © 2016 ACM.

Abstract: The lunar spectrum has been used in radiometric calibration and sensor stability monitoring for spaceborne optical sensors. A ground-based large-aperture static image spectrometer (LASIS) can be used to acquire the lunar spectral image for lunar radiance model improvement when the moon orbits over its viewing field. The lunar orbiting behavior is not consistent with the desired scanning speed and direction of LASIS. To correctly extract interferograms from the obtained data, a translation correction method based on image correlation is proposed. This method registers the frames to a reference frame to reduce accumulative errors. Furthermore, we propose a circle-matching-based approach to achieve even higher accuracy during observation of the full moon. To demonstrate the effectiveness of our approaches, experiments are run on true lunar observation data. The results show that the proposed approaches outperform the state-of-the-art methods. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: This article studies the effect that different types of patterned electrodes have on the electrohydrodynamic instability patterning (EHDIP) process for the faithful replication of micro- and nanostructures. Two types of patterned electrodes are studied. One is fully conductive, i.e. both pattern and substrate are conductive. The other type has conductive microstructures fabricated on a dielectric substrate. By employing the COMSOL™ Multiphysics software package, a rigorous numerical simulation of the EHDIP process has been carried out for both types of electrodes. The simulation results show that both electrodes can realize a faithful replication of the micro- and nanostructures once the variable, ΔE/Δx, reaches the critical value. Moreover, it is demonstrated that a fully conductive template is preferred if a small polymer film thickness is employed; a partially conductive electrode is preferred for larger film thickness. These results provide guidelines for the better control of the EHDIP process in order to realize the perfect pattern replication of structures for a variety of applications in MEMS or micro/nanofluidics. © The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Abstract: Through introducing transformed pupil vector and shifted center of aberration fields vector into the nodal aberration expansions of an axially symmetric optical system, the aberration expression in third order of an off-axis optical system and misaligned off-axis optical system are detailed. Nodal aberration characteristics of misaligned off-axis optical system are revealed only by analyzing the pupil decentration vector, aberration fields shifted vector and the aberration coefficients of the axially symmetric optical system. Actually, it is well demonstrated that the 3rd spherical aberration, 3rd coma, 3rd astigmatism in a misalignment off-axis system are comparable to the aberrations in a misalignment axially symmetric system. Otherwise it will not only induced constant 3rd spherical aberration but also constant 3rd coma and 3rd astigmatism over the field of view, when aligned an off-axis optical system elements with error axial spacing. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: A novel moving objects dimension measurement system based on the linear array CCD is designed. The light source is a pulsed laser with pulse width 200ns. Single point of light passes through lens converted to parallel light which will illuminate to the CCD through the moving object to be tested. CCD pixels which are blocked by the object while light is on are low, and the remaining pixels are high conversely. The distance of the tested objects while light is on can be ignored since the light pulse width is much smaller than the integration time of CCD (generally). The size of the tested object can be achieved by the number of dark pixels of CCD while light is on. This paper introduces the principle and composition of the dimension measurement system. The results show that this system can measure the size of moving objects and measuring accuracy is better than 50 microns. Accuracy and stability of the system can achieve actual production requirements when the object's moving speed is smaller than 50mm/s. Optimizing the parallelism of the parallel light, the measurement accuracy can be further improved. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Radiometric calibration is an important part for space remote sensing camera to obtain an accurate radiation value of ground target. The main significance of radiometric calibration is to reduce the influence by external scene and internal parameters of camera and to recover the real radiation property of objects. In order to break the limitation of line array imaging sensor, we propose a radiometric calibration method based on camera state matrix for area array camera. According to camera response characteristics, calculate and fit a functional relationship between the input radiance energy and the output digital number. Meanwhile, analyse and describe the procedure of radiometric calibration in detail. Experimental results indicates that the calibration method can provide high accuracy linear fitting parameters and can be widely applied to a large variety digital imaging systems. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: We present a novel online fabrication scheme of helical long-period fiber gratings (H-LPFGs) by directly twisting a standard single-mode fiber (SMF) in a microheater. This is done by taking advantage of the inherent core-cladding eccentricity in SMF. We adopt a fiber optic rotary joint to eliminate the accompanying twisting spiral for real-time spectral monitoring and a stepping mechanical system to accurately control the twisting length in fabrication. As a consequence, low-cost and high-quality H-LPFGs can be readily fabricated. Meanwhile, by using this kind of H-LPFG, we design a simple and low-cost wavelength-interrogated liquid-level sensor with a high sensitivity of 0.1 nm/mm. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: Since amounts of unlabelled and high-dimensional data needed to be processed, unsupervised feature selection has become an important and challenging problem in machine learning. Conventional embedded unsupervised methods always need to construct the similarity matrix, which makes the selected features highly depend on the learned structure. However real world data always contain lots of noise samples and features that make the similarity matrix obtained by original data can't be fully relied. We propose an unsupervised feature selection approach which performs feature selection and local structure learning simultaneously, the similarity matrix thus can be determined adaptively. Moreover, we constrain the similarity matrix to make it contain more accurate information of data structure, thus the proposed approach can select more valuable features. An efficient and simple algorithm is derived to optimize the problem. Experiments on various benchmark data sets, including handwritten digit data, face image data and biomedical data, validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. © 2016, Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (www.aaai.org).

Abstract: To binocular camera, the consistency of optical parameters of the left and the right optical system is an important factor that will influence the overall imaging consistency. In conventional testing procedure of optical system, there lacks specifications suitable for evaluating imaging consistency. In this paper, considering the special requirements of binocular optical imaging system, a method used to measure the imaging consistency of binocular camera is presented. Based on this method, a measurement system which is composed of an integrating sphere, a rotary table and a CMOS camera has been established. First, let the left and the right optical system capture images in normal exposure time under the same condition. Second, a contour image is obtained based on the multiple threshold segmentation result and the boundary is determined using the slope of contour lines near the pseudo-contour line. Third, the constraint of gray level based on the corresponding coordinates of left-right images is established and the imaging consistency could be evaluated through standard deviation σ of the imaging grayscale difference D (x, y) between the left and right optical system. The experiments demonstrate that the method is suitable for carrying out the imaging consistency testing for binocular camera. When the standard deviation 3σ distribution of imaging gray difference D (x, y) between the left and right optical system of the binocular camera does not exceed 5%, it is believed that the design requirements have been achieved. This method could be used effectively and paves the way for the imaging consistency testing of the binocular camera. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: The artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm has gained popularity for solutions to many real-world complex problems because of its simplicity and efficiency. However, it is good at exploration but poor at exploitation and early gets trapped into local optimum in some case, which prevents the artificial bee colony algorithm from finding the final result accuracy and efficiently for complex problems. It's known to all that population initialization is an important factor affecting convergence performance of ABC. In this paper, a modified artificial bee colony algorithm with randomized Halton sequence was proposed. A series of experiments were performed on benchmark functions to testify the superiority of our proposed algorithm, and results were compared with other initialization algorithms including opposition-based learning, random initialization and chaotic initialization. The results indicate that our proposed algorithm provides higher solution accuracy and faster convergence speed. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: The discrimination and simplicity of features are very important for effective and efficient pedestrian detection. However, most state-of-the-art methods are unable to achieve good tradeoff between accuracy and efficiency. Inspired by some simple inherent attributes of pedestrians (i.e., appearance constancy and shape symmetry), we propose two new types of non-neighboring features (NNF): side-inner difference features (SIDF) and symmetrical similarity features (SSF). SIDF can characterize the difference between the background and pedestrian and the difference between the pedestrian contour and its inner part. SSF can capture the symmetrical similarity of pedestrian shape. However, it's difficult for neighboring features to have such above characterization abilities. Finally, we propose to combine both non-neighboring and neighboring features for pedestrian detection. It's found that nonneighboring features can further decrease the average miss rate by 4.44%. Experimental results on INRIA and Caltech pedestrian datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method. Compared to the state-of the-art methods without using CNN, our method achieves the best detection performance on Caltech, outperforming the second best method (i.e., Checkerboards) by 1.63%. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: As one of the most popular dimensionality reduction techniques, locality preserving projections (LPP) has been widely used in computer vision and pattern recognition. However, in practical applications, data is always corrupted by noises. For the corrupted data, samples from the same class may not be distributed in the nearest area, thus LPP may lose its effectiveness. In this paper, it is assumed that data is grossly corrupted and the noise matrix is sparse. Based on these assumptions, we propose a novel dimensionality reduction method, named low-rank preserving projections (LRPP) for image classification. LRPP learns a low-rank weight matrix by projecting the data on a low-dimensional subspace. We use the L

Abstract: Low-rank representation (LRR) has been successfully applied in exploring the subspace structures of data. However, in previous LRR-based semi-supervised subspace clustering methods, the label information is not used to guide the affinity matrix construction so that the affinity matrix cannot deliver strong discriminant information. Moreover, these methods cannot guarantee an overall optimum since the affinity matrix construction and subspace clustering are often independent steps. In this paper, we propose a robust semi-supervised subspace clustering method based on non-negative LRR (NNLRR) to address these problems. By combining the LRR framework and the Gaussian fields and harmonic functions method in a single optimization problem, the supervision information is explicitly incorporated to guide the affinity matrix construction and the affinity matrix construction and subspace clustering are accomplished in one step to guarantee the overall optimum. The affinity matrix is obtained by seeking a non-negative low-rank matrix that represents each sample as a linear combination of others. We also explicitly impose the sparse constraint on the affinity matrix such that the affinity matrix obtained by NNLRR is non-negative low-rank and sparse. We introduce an efficient linearized alternating direction method with adaptive penalty to solve the corresponding optimization problem. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that NNLRR is effective in semi-supervised subspace clustering and robust to different types of noise than other state-of-the-art methods. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: Hyperspectral image (HSI) involves vast quantities of information that can help with the image analysis. However, this information has sometimes been proved to be redundant, considering specific applications such as HSI classification and anomaly detection. To address this problem, hyperspectral band selection is viewed as an effective dimensionality reduction method that can remove the redundant components of HSI. Various HSI band selection methods have been proposed recently, and the clustering-based method is a traditional one. This agglomerative method has been considered simple and straightforward, while the performance is generally inferior to the state of the art. To tackle the inherent drawbacks of the clustering-based band selection method, a new framework concerning on dual clustering is proposed in this paper. The main contribution can be concluded as follows: 1) a novel descriptor that reveals the context of HSI efficiently; 2) a dual clustering method that includes the contextual information in the clustering process; 3) a new strategy that selects the cluster representatives jointly considering the mutual effects of each cluster. Experimental results on three real-world HSIs verify the noticeable accuracy of the proposed method, with regard to the HSI classification application. The main comparison has been conducted among several recent clustering-based band selection methods and constraint-based band selection methods, demonstrating the superiority of the technique that we present. © 1980-2012 IEEE.

Abstract: We demonstrate an effective approach to transferring micron-size CVD graphene layers onto freestanding microfibers. With micro-manipulation, the coating position and length of the graphene films can be precisely controlled. By coating micrometer-scale (e.g., 20 μm) graphene films onto microfibers with diameters down to 1 μm, we can achieve significantly enhanced light-graphene interaction (e.g., a low saturable-absorption threshold of 40 MW/cm2) and simultaneously maintain a high transmission (73% in maximum) as well. In addition, we use these microscale CVD graphene-coated microfibers (GCMs) as saturable absorbers for all-optical modulation at 1550-nm wavelength with a modulation depth of 12% and passively mode-locked fiber lasing with pulse duration down to 970 fs. © 2015 Elsevier Ltd.

Abstract: Polarization is one of the important characteristics of the interaction between light and substance, which relates to the shape and the material of the target. To research the effects of the degree of polarization (DOP) caused by different materials, the polarized bidirectional reflectance distribution function (pBRDF) model has been established by the theory of microfacet. But in this model, the scattering effect of polyhedron is ignored. Based on these researches, the DOP model of satellite with different shapes (cuboid, cylinder and sphere) is set up and simulated. The simulating results show that the DOP of satellite relates with the complex refractive index, shape of satellite, incident angle and view angle. It is also proved that the polarization is a reflection of the characteristics of material, shape of satellite, which provides theoretical support for identifying satellite. © 2015 Elsevier GmbH.

Abstract: The domestic and abroad thermal vacuum quasi-accelerated life tests of two-axis gimbals are investigated. It is shown that almost all the tests are focused on the parts rather than on a full gimbal, which can not reflect the performance of the full gimbal. According to the analysis of the structure and lubrication mode of the thermal vacuum quasi-accelerated life tests of two-axis gimbals, the five main elements and their design methods are determined. The test contents and methods are designed for the motion performance examination of a full gimbal, and the failure criterion is given to control the test process. A thermal vacuum quasi-accelerated life test is designed in accordance with the design method of the element design method. A series of test data about the motion performance of the two-axis gimbal is acquired by experiments, which can evaluate the in-orbit life of the space two-axis gimbal. The in-orbit application of the obtained results demonstrate that the designed thermal vacuum quasi-accelerated life test method for the space two-axis gimbal can satisfy the test requirement and it is effective and feasible. © 2016, Editorial Board of Jilin University.

In this article, pico-second laser was utilized for irradiation on SiC/SiC composites, and effects of different processing parameters including the machining modes and laser power were discussed in detail. The results indicated that the machining modes and laser power had great effect on machining of SiC/SiC composites. Different types of surface morphology and structure were observed under helical line scanning and single ring line scanning, and the analysis of their formulation was discussed in detail. It was believed that the machining modes would be responsible to the different shapes of machining results at the same parameters. The processing power shall also influence the surface morphology and quality of machining results. In micro-hole drilling process, large amount of debris and fragments were observed within the micro-holes, and XPS analysis showed that there existed Si-O bonds and Si-C bonds, indicating that the oxidation during processing was incomplete. Other surface morphology, such as pores and pits were discussed as well. © 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Action recognition has been standing as an active research topic over the past years. Many efforts have been made and many methods have been proposed. However, there are still some challenges such as illumination condition, viewpoint, camera motion and cluttered background. In order to tackle these challenges, a discriminative representation is proposed by discovering key information of the input data. This task can be addressed by improvements of two major components: parameterized representation and discriminative classifier. The representation is parameterized with hidden variables and can be learned from training data. And the classifier can be trained to recognize actions based on the proposed representation. The contributions of this paper are as follows: (1) a novel probabilistic representation is utilized to capture the relative significant information of low level features; (2) a novel framework is proposed by combining the parameterized representation and discriminative classifier; (3) an alternating strategy is favorable to improve the performance of action recognition by updating the representation and the classifier alternatively. Experimental results on five well-known datasets demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves the performance in action recognition. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd (58 refs.)Main Heading: Classification (of information)Controlled terms: Classifiers - Gesture recognition - Maximum likelihood - Motion estimation - ParameterizationUncontrolled terms: Action recognition - Cluttered backgrounds - Discriminative classifiers - Discriminative representation - Human-action recognition - Illumination conditions - Low-level features - Probabilistic representation

Abstract: The optical element of free-form surface can be expressed by the fringe Zernike polynomial and the terms of initial spherical sag, coma and astigmatism are transformed into the vector forms. Based on the vector wave aberration theory, the free-form optical element characteristic of optical system initial aberration correction is analyzed. Through the analysis, the free-form surfaces in optical system have different aberration emendation specialties at different positions. The free-form optical element can be corrected in full field of view for constant initial aberration as a stop aperture (entrance pupil or exit pupil) in optical system. When the free-form surface is far from the stop aperture of optical system, due to the scaling and offset of the imaging beam aperture for an off-axis field point, the free-form surface can correcte the asymmetric initial aberration, and the relationship of different initial aberration and field of view is different. © 2016, Chinese Lasers Press.

Abstract: It is an important task to design models for universal no-reference video quality assessment (NR-VQA) in multiple video processing and computer vision applications. However, most existing NR-VQA metrics are designed for specific distortion types, which are not often aware in practical applications. A further deficiency is that the spatial and temporal information of videos is hardly considered simultaneously. In this paper, we propose a new NR-VQA metric based on the spatiotemporal natural video statistics in 3D discrete cosine transform (3D-DCT) domain. In the proposed method, a set of features are first extracted based on the statistical analysis of 3D-DCT coefficients to characterize the spatiotemporal statistics of videos in different views. These features are used to predict the perceived video quality via the efficient linear support vector regression model afterward. The contributions of this paper are: 1) we explore the spatiotemporal statistics of videos in the 3D-DCT domain that has the inherent spatiotemporal encoding advantage over other widely used 2D transformations; 2) we extract a small set of simple but effective statistical features for video visual quality prediction; and 3) the proposed method is universal for multiple types of distortions and robust to different databases. The proposed method is tested on four widely used video databases. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is competitive with the state-of-Art NR-VQA metrics and the top-performing full-reference VQA and reduced-reference VQA metrics. © 1992-2012 IEEE.

Abstract: A novel highly efficient, fiber-compatible spectrally encoded imaging (SEI) system using a 45° tilted fiber grating (TFG) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. The TFG serves as an in-fiber lateral diffraction element, eliminating the need for bulky and lossy free-space diffraction gratings in conventional SEI systems. Under proper polarization control, due to the strong tilted reflection, the 45° TFG offers a diffraction efficiency as high as 93.5%. Our new design significantly reduces the volume of the SEI system and improves energy efficiency and system stability. As a proof-ofprinciple experiment, spectrally encoded imaging of a customer-designed sample (9.6 mm x 3.0 mm) using the TFG-based system is demonstrated. The lateral resolution of the SEI system is measured to be 42 μm in our experiment. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: Recent years have witnessed the success of binary hashing techniques in approximate nearest neighbor search. In practice, multiple hash tables are usually built using hashing to cover more desired results in the hit buckets of each table. However, rare work studies the unified approach to constructing multiple informative hash tables using any type of hashing algorithms. Meanwhile, for multiple table search, it also lacks of a generic query-adaptive and fine-grained ranking scheme that can alleviate the binary quantization loss suffered in the standard hashing techniques. To solve the above problems, in this paper, we first regard the table construction as a selection problem over a set of candidate hash functions. With the graph representation of the function set, we propose an efficient solution that sequentially applies normalized dominant set to finding the most informative and independent hash functions for each table. To further reduce the redundancy between tables, we explore the reciprocal hash tables in a boosting manner, where the hash function graph is updated with high weights emphasized on the misclassified neighbor pairs of previous hash tables. To refine the ranking of the retrieved buckets within a certain Hamming radius from the query, we propose a query-adaptive bitwise weighting scheme to enable fine-grained bucket ranking in each hash table, exploiting the discriminative power of its hash functions and their complement for nearest neighbor search. Moreover, we integrate such scheme into the multiple table search using a fast, yet reciprocal table lookup algorithm within the adaptive weighted Hamming radius. In this paper, both the construction method and the query-adaptive search method are general and compatible with different types of hashing algorithms using different feature spaces and/or parameter settings. Our extensive experiments on several large-scale benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed techniques can significantly outperform both the naive construction methods and the state-of-the-art hashing algorithms. © 1992-2012 IEEE.

Abstract: The principle of interference imaging spectrometer is presented. According to the drift of recovery spectral line position, two representative methods of calibrating the laboratory spectral line position are proposed, and the calibration results and their comparative analyses are given. One method of calibration is to correct the principle, which embarks from parameter selection of interference imaging spectrometer and the analysis of the reason why the spectral line position is drifted. Aiming at the problem that the position of spectral line changes with row, the correction scheme is given to improve the accuracy of spectral line position. For four given laser wavelengths, which are 543.5 nm, 594.1 nm, 612 nm, and 632.8 nm, the root-mean-square (RMS) error of spectral line position is reduced from 28.3914 to 5.5371 after calibration. For the interferometer system which has no dispersion, the accuracy of calibration is better than the dispersion system, and can be the same at all detected wavelengths. In this article, the calibration accuracy of long wave is better than that of short wave, which is dependent on the selection of the initial correction wavelength. This method achieves a kind of universality for interference imaging spectrometer and its calibration parameters provide a convenient way to analyze the instrument indexes. Another calibration method is data processing. It makes up the deficiencies of the method mentioned above: a large number of data are needed and the effect of calibration at short wave is not good enough. The RMS error of spectral line position is reduced to 0.9178, which proves that the calibration has a really high precision. This method is simple and can correct all the detected wavelengths and spectral lines by using two united formula. Though this method is not applicable for all the interference imaging spectrometers, the idea that makes hard things simple is deserving of our attention. We can use it in many other fields. The essence of the method is to change a variable quantity into a slowly varying quantity by algorithms, and then establish the relationship between the slowly varying quantity and the standard value. This idea can always make a substantial increase in efficiency of calibration and has a satisfied accuracy. Each of the two methods has advantages and disadvantages: which method we choose to use is dependent on the effect we want to achieve, and it is better to make their combination. This study provides a theoretical and practical guidance for study, design, modulation, experiment and engineering of interference imaging spectrometers. © 2016 Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract: Cylindrical vector (CV) beams have found increasing applications in physics, biology, and chemistry. To generate CV beams, interferometric technique is popularly adopted due to its flexibility. However, most interferometric configurations for the generation of CV beams are faced with system instability arising from external disturbance, limiting their practical applications. A common-path interferometer for the generation of radially and azimuthally polarized beams is proposed to improve the system stability. The optical configuration consists of a vortex phase plate acting to tailor the phase profile and a cube nonpolarizing beamsplitter to split the input beam into two components with mirror-like spiral phase distribution. The generated CV beams show a high quality in polarization and exhibit a better stability of beam profile than those obtained by noncommon-path interferometric configurations. © 2016 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Abstract: With the popularity of mobile devices, photo retargeting has become a useful technique that adapts a high-resolution photo onto a low-resolution screen. Conventional approaches are limited in two aspects. The first factor is the de-emphasized role of semantic content that is many times more important than lowlevel features in photo aesthetics. Second is the importance of image spatial modeling: Toward a semantically reasonable retargeted photo, the spatial distribution of objects within an image should be accurately learned. To solve these two problems, we propose a new semantically aware photo retargeting that shrinks a photo according to region semantics. The key technique is a mechanism transferring semantics of noisy image labels (inaccurate labels predicted by a learner like an SVM) into different image regions. In particular, we first project the local aesthetic features (graphlets in this work) onto a semantic space, wherein image labels are selectively encoded according to their noise level. Then, a category-sharing model is proposed to robustly discover the semantics of each image region. The model is motivated by the observation that the semantic distribution of graphlets from images tagged by a common label remains stable in the presence of noisy labels. Thereafter, a spatial pyramid is constructed to hierarchically encode the spatial layout of graphlet semantics. Based on this, a probabilistic model is proposed to enforce the spatial layout of a retargeted photo to be maximally similar to those from the training photos. Experimental results show that (1) noisy image labels predicted by different learners can improve the retargeting performance, according to both qualitative and quantitative analysis, and (2) the category-sharing model stays stable even when 32.36% of image labels are incorrectly predicted. ©2016 ACM.

Abstract: Liquid phase diffusion is a high energy consumption process in chemical production. With the rapid development of the chemical technology based on liquid phase diffusion, especially in some emerging fields such as biomedicine and environmental science, the microcosmic study on the liquid phase diffusion is becoming more and more important. By applying the digital holographic interferometry, a diffusion process in liquid phase of pure ethanol and water was observed. After recording the digital hologram by a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and reconstructing digital hologram of object beam by the gray scale analysis, the phase variation of object wavefront in the diffusion process at different times and the curves of refractive index change in the diffusion area were both acquired. The result shows that by applying the digital holographic interferometry, a fast, real time and high-accuracy diffusion can be realized. Moreover, this method can be used to realize a remote visual monitoring. In addition, this method combining with wavelength and angular multiplexing techniques can be applied to obtain nonlinear characteristics parameters in multiple-phase diffusion measurements. © 2016, Chinese Optical Society.

Abstract: Background information is crucial for many video surveillance applications such as object detection and scene understanding. In this paper, we present a novel pixel-to-model (P2M) paradigm for background modeling and restoration in surveillance scenes. In particular, the proposed approach models the background with a set of context features for each pixel, which are compressively sensed from local patches. We determine whether a pixel belongs to the background according to the minimum P2M distance, which measures the similarity between the pixel and its background model in the space of compressive local descriptors. The pixel feature descriptors of the background model are properly updated with respect to the minimum P2M distance. Meanwhile, the neighboring background model will be renewed according to the maximum P2M distance to handle ghost holes. The P2M distance plays an important role of background reliability in the 3-D spatial-temporal domain of surveillance videos, leading to the robust background model and recovered background videos. We applied the proposed P2M distance for foreground detection and background restoration on synthetic and real-world surveillance videos. Experimental results show that the proposed P2M approach outperforms the state-of-the-art approaches both in indoor and outdoor surveillance scenes. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: Based on the Lugiato-Lefever equation, the spatiotemporal evolutions in microresonator are discussed respectively, which is pumped by the continuous wave (CW) light as well as the combination of CW light and periodical pulse train simultaneously, and the effect of each parameter on light field is studied. Simulation results indicate that the dark soliton can exist in the microresonator with CW pumped. The width of the dark soliton pulse increases with the dispersion coefficient. The shape of the dark soliton pulse is varied when the frequency detuning is increased. Meanwhile, in the normal dispersion regime, the pulses can form in the microresonator by the use of synthetical pumping manner. The drawback is compensated that the bright soliton pulse is difficult to be generated in the microresonator for single CW pumped of certain parameters configuration. Moreover, the high amplitude of the pump pulses leads to the pulse split, the pulse stretching and the loss of the pulse occur when the frequency detuning of the microresonator rises. Theoretical analysis results are significant for high-quality Kerr optical frequency comb and their practical applications, and they are helpful for selecting the proper microresonator and pump parameters. © 2016, Chinese Lasers Press.

Abstract: By the numerical modeling and experimental test, the influence of temperature on “smile” was studied. By using the finite element method, the thermal stresses induced during bar bonding and operating process were simulated respectively. In simulations, it is assumed that the deformation of the laser bar is only caused by the thermal stress. The simulated results show that the thermal stress across the laser bar decreases with the increasing of heatsink temperature. As thus, the curve of the laser bar induced by packaging thermal stress will decrease with the increasing of the temperature. In this experiment, “smile” of five samples from the same wafer and batch was measured under different heatsink temperatures. Experimental results show that “smile” of the five samples increases or decreases as heatsink temperature increasing. The possible reason which is related with the combined action between the primitive bending shape of the bare bar and the mounting thermal stress. If the bare bar before packaging is flat or convex, “smile” of the diode laser bar will decrease as the heatsink temperature increasing. In addition, if the bare bar is concave and the laser bar is still concave after packaging, “smile” will increase with the increasing of heatsink temperature. © 2016, Science Press.

Abstract: We present an all-fiber all-polarization-maintaining (PM) single mode (SM) fiber pulse nonlinear amplification system. The seed laser with a repetition rate of 200 MHz is amplified by two-section erbium-doped PM gain fibers with different peak-absorption rate. The amplified pulse duration can be compressed into 34-fs with 320-mW output power, which corresponds to 1.6-nJ pulse energy and approximate 23.5-kW peak power. In addition, the amplified and compressed pulse is further coupled into the high nonlinear fiber and an octave-spanning supercontinuum generation can be obtained. To the best of our knowledge, it is the highest peak power and the shortest pulse duration obtained in the field of all-fiber all-PM SM pulse-amplification systems. ©2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: With the rapid development of science and technology and the promotion of many local wars in the world, altitude optical sensor mounted on unmanned aerial vehicle is more widely applied in the airborne remote sensing, measurement and detection. 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 138.2 nm, which is under PV ≤1/4λ. The above study can be used as an important reference for other optical window designs. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Video synopsis is an effective technique to provide a compact representation of the original video by removing spatiotemporal redundancies and by preserving the essential activities. Most current approaches for video synopsis will cause collisions among objects, especially when the video is condensed much. In this paper, we present an approach for video synopsis to reduce the collisions. Our approach first shifts active objects along the time axis to compact the original video. Then, the sizes of the objects are reduced when collisions occur. Meanwhile, the geometric centroids of the objects will be kept unchanged to preserve the location information. Our contributions are threefold. First, an approach is proposed to decrease collisions in the synopsis video through reducing the sizes of the objects. Second, an optimization framework is developed to indicate the optimal time position and the appropriate reduction coefficient for each object. Finally, some metrics are proposed, and several experiments are carried out to evaluate the proposed approach. The experiments have demonstrated that the synopsis video produced by our approach has much fewer collisions while the compression ratio is high. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: An improved Blind Phase Search algorithm was proposed. In this algorithm, carrier phase noise was estimated by searching minimum Euler distance twice. To verify this algorithm, an optical linear sampling simulation system was set up. The constellation diagram of 10Gbaud/s 16QAM signal was simulated by using an optical frequency comb with pulse width of 500fs and duration of 10ns as optical sampling source. The simulation result shows that, the phase noise between the signal source and optical sampling source can be compensated effectively by this algorithm when the sum linewidth of the two lasers is less than 10MHz. Finally, the constellation diagram of 10Gbaud/s 16QAM signal is displayed clearly. © 2016, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract: The increasing popularity of online social networks (OSNs) has been transforming the dissemination pattern of social video contents. We can utilize the social information propagation pattern to improve the efficiency of social video distribution. In this paper, motivated by the social community classification, we present a social video replication and user request dispatching mechanism in the cloud content delivery network architecture to reduce the system operational cost, while guaranteeing the averaged service latency. Specifically, we first present a community classification method that clusters social users with social relationships, close geolocations, and similar video watching interests into various communities. Then, we conduct a large-scale measurement on a real OSN system to study the diversities of social video propagation and the effectiveness of our communities on smoothing the diversity. Finally, we propose the community-based video replication and request dispatching strategy and formulate it as a constrained optimization problem. Based on a stochastic optimization framework, we derive an online solution and rigorously prove the optimality. We evaluate our algorithm on a real trace under realistic settings and demonstrate that our algorithm can reduce the monetary cost by 30% against traditional approaches with the same service latency. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: Object tracking is a challenging topic in the field of computer vision since its performance is easily disturbed by occlusion, illumination change, background clutter, scale variation, etc. In this paper, we introduce a robust tracking algorithm that fuses information from both visible images and infrared (IR) images. The proposed tracking algorithm not only incorporates convolutional feature maps from the visible channel, but also employs a scale pyramid representation from IR channel. We estimate the target location by fusing multilayer convolutional feature maps, and predict the target scale from a scale pyramid. The pipeline of the proposed method is as follows. First, the hierarchical convolutional feature maps are obtained from visible images using VGG-Nets. Then, the accurate target location is predicted by the maximum response of correlation filters with the visible image feature maps. Finally, we obtain the precise object scale with a scale pyramid from infrared images where the difference between the target and the background is clear. In order to verify the performance of the proposed method, we capture six video sequences under different conditions. These sequences contain both visible channel and IR channel. Ten state-of-the-art tracking algorithms are compared with our method, and the experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed tracker. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: Based on the model of annular force based actuation, the reasons why it is hard for annular force based variable curvature mirror to obtain a large saggitus variation and maintain a high-accuracy surface figure simultaneously were analyzed. From the elasticity theory of thin plate, a physical model of variable curvature mirror in which pressurization actuation and variable thickness design are combined together was proposed. The theoretical analysis results show that, by making the mirror thickness be variable from the center to the periphery portion and adopting the pressurization actuation, the large saggitus variation can be obtained while the surface figure accuracy can be maintained and higher than the annular line load variable curvature mirror. A duralumin prototype mirror was designed, fabricated and tested. The surface figure accuracy of the mirror before curvature variation is superior to λ/50 (632.8 nm). When a pressure of about 0.032 MPa is imposed, the mirror can provide a saggitus variation exceeding 22 μm and at the same the corresponding surface figure accuracy is still superior to λ/20 (632.8 nm), which verifies the theoretical analysis about variable thickness mirror and proves that the design combination integrating pressurization actuation and variable mirror thickness is a promising technical way to construct an applicable variable curvature mirror. © 2016, Science Press.

Abstract: Optical tweezers has become a powerful tool for research in life science and colloidal physics since its invention due to its advantages of mechanical contact-free and high-precision manipulation of micro-sized particles. However, the conventional single-trap optical tweezers is limited in the increasing demands of research. In recent years, the technique of spatial modulation of optical fields, which modulates the amplitude, phase and polarization state of light, has extensively enhanced the function of optical micro-manipulation, and promoted the advance in laser micro/nano fabricaton, optical sorting and transportation of micro-particles, and colloidal particles studies. The advance in spatial modulation of optical fields to date and their applications in optical micro-manipulation is reviewed, including the holographic optical tweezers, special-mode optical beams manipulation, and vector beams manipulation. © 2016, Chinese Lasers Press.

Abstract: Derivation of the conic coefficient error of practical aspheric optic surface is quite significant to aspheric machining accuracy, optical system imaging quality analysis and decomposition analysis of optical lenses. The primary mirror of R-c telescope system was tested by Taylor Hobson Talysurf. The practical surface was fitted using Zernike polynomials based on the date measured from Talysurf. Though taking the Zernike coefficients into the optical system, the effect of the aberration which was brought by optical machining to the optical system imaging quality was obtained. The analysis shows that the spherical aberration was brought into the optical system because of the figure error of the primary mirror. And the value of the spherical aberration was same to the practical alignment result. Then the conicoid aspherical degree of the primary mirror was tested by the Talysurf. The machining deviation of the conic coefficient was gotten though comparing the conicoid aspherical degree of the practical primary mirror with that of the perfect primary mirror. The practical conic coefficient was calculated by the deviation. Taking the practical conic coefficient into the R-c telescope system, the degradation of the optical system imaging quality was known. Also the spherical aberration was brought into the optical system. Experimental results show that the value of the spherical aberration analyzed by the two methods is same and consist with the practical alignment result. That is to say that the conic coefficient changed due to machining error of the conicoid aspherical degree. Because of the change the spherical aberration was attached to primary mirror. And which caused the optical system imaging quality declined. Finally, corrector was designed to balance the spherical aberration of the primary mirror. Ensure that the optical system imaging quality meet the requirement. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: The main method to improve the resolution of optical system is enlarging the pupil of the optical system, and segmenting sub-mirrors to get an equivalent large diameter primary mirror is a common way to enlarge clear aperture. After the deployment of sub-mirrors for segmented mirrors optical system on orbit, there is deviation between deployment position and the designed position, which is called position error. The error determines the imaging quality of the optical system. So it is necessary to analyze the precision of the position of sub-mirrors. Optical software is used to model the segmented mirror optical system, and the relationship curves between position error and the system's imaging quality is got by adjusting position error of six degrees of freedom for sub-mirrors. The results show that root mean square (RMS) values generated by the same position error are different when sub-mirrors are at the different positions. The middle mirrors are sensitive to the movement along X axis direction, and the outer ones are sensitive to the movement along the Y axis direction. Two methods are used to distribute the errors into the sub-mirror position error. One is distributing the position error to each sub-mirror alone. Another is distributing the same position error to each sub-mirror. The results show that the former way has a more relax position error when the generated wavefront errors are the same. © 2016, Chinese Lasers Press. All right reserved.

Abstract: With the development of optical technology, optical instruments become smaller and more integrated. Because of the high diffraction efficiency and light weight, binary optical elements become more and more popular. Binary optical elements can only blaze at one wavelength, it has high diffraction efficiency at design wavelength. But the diffraction efficiency of binary optical elements will decrease quickly with the change of wavelength. And this situation will have a big impact on image quality. Since double-layer BOE can blaze at two wavelengths, it has high diffraction efficiency at wide spectral bandwidth. There are kinds of fabrication errors. Based on scalar diffraction theory, this paper analyzes the diffraction efficiency of double-layer BOE with fabrication errors and simulates it in MATLAB. Simulation shows the diffraction efficiency decreases quickly if the depth errors of two layers are opposite, and this situation should be avoided. As for periodic errors, tilt errors and angular errors, these fabrication errors have different impact of double-layer BOE on diffraction efficiency. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: With the gradual development of micro-satellite technology and the extension of application field of earth observation technology, researchers show more concern and attention on how to obtain high-resolution images with microsatellite platform equipped with space telescope. Such microsatellites require the space telescopes with small volume, low mass, and low cost. Deployable telescope is a good choice to meet these requirements, and it has the same capabilities as the traditional space telescope. We investigate a space telescope with smart self-deployable structure. The telescope is folded before launch, the distance between primary mirror and secondary mirror becomes short and the volume of the telescope becomes small, and the telescope extends to its working configuration after it is in orbit. The deployable structure is one of the key techniques of deployable space telescope, and this paper focuses on the design of a self-deployable structure of the secondary mirror. There are mainly three parts in this paper. Firstly, the optics of the telescope is presented, and a Ritchey-Chretien (RC) type optical system is designed. Secondly, the self-deployable structure is designed and the finite element method (FEM) is used to analyze dynamics of the extended telescope. Thirdly, an adjusting mechanism with six degrees of freedom to correct the misalignment of the secondary mirror is investigated, and the kinematics is discussed. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: We present the spatial resolution estimation methods for a photon counting system with a Vernier anode. A limiting resolution model is provided according to discussions of surface encoding structure and quantized noise. The limiting resolution of a Vernier anode is revealed to be significantly higher than that of a microchannel plate. The relationship between the actual spatial resolution and equivalent noise charge of a detector is established by noise analysis and photon position reconstruction. The theoretical results are demonstrated to be in good agreement with the experimental results for a 1.2 mm pitch Vernier anode. © 2016 Chinese Optics Letters.

Abstract: Within administrative regions, urban built-up areas are vast stretches of constructed areas equipped with basic public facilit ies. Human act ivit ies most frequently take place within urban regions and the dynamic evolution of urbanization has caused profound variations in urban spatial structures. Conventional boundary extraction methods are complicated and require human intervention. This article innovatively proposes a vector method that combines a data-dimension compression index known as an Index-based Built-up Index (IBI) with aggregate analysis to extract vector boundaries of urban built-up areas automatically by setting a threshold value and the parameters for aggregate analysis. Datadimension compression technology is used to extract urban built-up areas using thematic bands (rather than original bands) to build indexes, which improves the precision of extraction. Areas ext racted by the methods above contains urban built-up areas, rural built-up areas, independent houses and fully bare areas. Aggregate analysis aggregates a certain range of non-Adjacent plots into a new polygon section. This method has made it easy to analyze the spatial expansion of Wuhan city from 2003 to 2013.

Abstract: In recent years, a novel optical zooming technique has been paid much attention. With the help of optical leveraging effect, it is possible to alter the system focal length dramatically without moving elements involved in by only changing the curvature radius of VCM (variable curvature mirror) slightly. With no doubt, VCM is the key to realize non-moving element optical zooming and it has to provide large enough saggitus variation while still maintaining the high surface figure accuracy to ensure high quality imaging. In our previously published paper, an annular force based VCM has been designed, fabricated and tested. Experiments demonstrate that with the aperture of 100mm and thickness of 2mm, the VCM could generate a large saggitus variation exceeding 30 (=632.8nm). However, the optical quality degrades very fast and this makes such a VCM unsuitable for optical imaging in visible band. Therefore in this manuscript, a multipoint actuation array, which is composed of totally 49 piezoelectric actuators, is embedded into the annular structure to aim to correct the surface figure distortion caused by large saggitus variation. The new structure model has been designed and numerical simulation indicates that the surface figure distortion could be well corrected as long as the degraded surface figure accuracy is better than 1.8 (=632.8nm) (RMS). Based on this, a new prototype VCM is being fabricated and intermediate results are reported here. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Hyperspectral images are widely used in real applications due to their rich spectral information. However, the large volume brings a lot of inconvenience, such as storage and transmission. Hyperspectral band selection is an important technique to cope with this issue by selecting a few spectral bands to replace the original image. This article proposes a novel band selection algorithm that first estimates the redundancy through analysing relationships among spectral bands. After that, spectral bands are ranked according to their relative importance. Subsequently, in order to remove redundant spectral bands and preserve the original information, a maximal linearly independent subset is constructed as the optimal band combination. Contributions of this article are listed as follows: (1) A new strategy for band selection is proposed to preserve the original information mostly; (2) A non-negative low-rank representation algorithm is developed to discover intrinsic relationships among spectral bands; (3) A smart strategy is put forward to adaptively determine the optimal combination of spectral bands. To verify the effectiveness, experiments have been conducted on both hyperspectral unmixing and classification. For unmixing, the proposed algorithm decreases the average root mean square errors (RMSEs) by 0.05, 0.03, and 0.05 for the Urban, Cuprite, and Indian Pines data sets, respectively. With regard to classification, our algorithm achieves the overall accuracies of 77.07% and 89.19% for the Indian Pines and Pavia University data sets, respectively. These results are close to the performance with original images. Thus, comparative experiments not only illustrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm, but also prove the validity of band selection on hyperspectral image processing. © 2016 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.

Abstract: An auroral substorm is an important geophysical phenomenon that reflects the interaction between the solar wind and the Earth's magnetosphere. Detecting substorms is of practical significance in order to prevent disruption to communication and global positioning systems. However, existing detection methods can be inaccurate or require time-consuming manual analysis and are therefore impractical for large-scale data sets. In this paper, we propose an automatic auroral substorm detection method based on a shape-constrained sparse and low-rank decomposition (SCSLD) framework. Our method automatically detects real substorm onsets in large-scale aurora sequences, which overcomes the limitations of manual detection. To reduce noise interference inherent in current SLD methods, we introduce a shape constraint to force the noise to be assigned to the low-rank part (stationary background), thus ensuring the accuracy of the sparse part (moving object) and improving the performance. Experiments conducted on aurora sequences in solar cycle 23 (1996-2008) show that the proposed SCSLD method achieves good performance for motion analysis of aurora sequences. Moreover, the obtained results are highly consistent with manual analysis, suggesting that the proposed automatic method is useful and effective in practice. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: Visual saliency is one of the most noteworthy perceptual abilities of human vision. Recent progress in cognitive psychology suggests that: 1) visual saliency analysis is mainly completed by the bottom-up mechanism consisting of feedforward low-level processing in primary visual cortex (area V1) and 2) color interacts with spatial cues and is influenced by the neighborhood context, and thus it plays an important role in a visual saliency analysis. From a computational perspective, the most existing saliency modeling approaches exploit multiple independent visual cues, irrespective of their interactions (or are not computed explicitly), and ignore contextual influences induced by neighboring colors. In addition, the use of color is often underestimated in the visual saliency analysis. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective color saliency model that considers color as the only visual cue and mimics the color processing in V1. Our approach uses region-/boundary-defined color features with spatiochromatic filtering by considering local color-orientation interactions, therefore captures homogeneous color elements, subtle textures within the object and the overall salient object from the color image. To account for color contextual influences, we present a divisive normalization method for chromatic stimuli through the pooling of contrary/complementary color units. We further define a color perceptual metric over the entire scene to produce saliency maps for color regions and color boundaries individually. These maps are finally globally integrated into a one single saliency map. The final saliency map is produced by Gaussian blurring for robustness. We evaluate the proposed method on both synthetic stimuli and several benchmark saliency data sets from the visual saliency analysis to salient object detection. The experimental results demonstrate that the use of color as a unique visual cue achieves competitive results on par with or better than 12 state-of-the-art approaches. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: Micromachining of titanium carbide (TiC) ceramic is very difficult because of its high hardness and brittleness. Femtosecond pulsed laser was employed to process circular rings on the surface of TiC ceramic. The interaction area between femtosecond laser pulses and TiC at different laser repetition rates and fluences was studied. Morphology and composition of irradiated area were analyzed by scanning electron microscope, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and Raman spectrum. The results indicated that the radius of outer circle was close to the intended radius. Laser fluence had obvious effects on the radius and width of circular rings, compared to laser repetition rate. The width of circular rings increased rapidly with increasing laser fluence from 2.55 × 10-2to 1.27 × 10-1J/mm2, and then stabilized at around 40 μm when laser fluence was above 7.64 × 10-1J/mm2. The surface of circular rings was characterized by ripples at the lower laser fluence. With increasing laser fluence, four kinds of typical morphology were observed, including ripples, cauliflower-like particles, ball-like particles, and deposited oxide layer. Ball-like particles contained high concentration of titanium, which came from melt ball splashing from ablation area. The others came from the different oxidation stages occurred on the surface of TiC sample. © Copyright 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Abstract: We report on the fabrication of waveguides in fused silica using 4.5-MeV nitrogen ion implantation with a fluence of 5.0×1014 ions/cm2. The prism-coupling method was employed to measure the effective refractive indices of guiding modes at the wavelengths of 632.8 and 1539 nm. The effective refractive indices of the first few modes were higher than that of the substrate. The refractive index profiles at 632.8 and 1539 nm were reconstructed by the reflectivity calculation method. Positive index changes were induced in the waveguide layers. The end-face coupling method was used to measure the near-field light intensity distributions at the wavelength of 632.8 nm and the finite-difference beam propagation method was applied to simulate the guided mode profile at the wavelength of 1539 nm.

Abstract: X-ray communication, which was first introduced by Keith Gendreau in 2007, is potential to compete with conventional communication methods, such as microware and laser communication, against space surroundings. Researchers have spent much time and effort on the mission 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 single-photon detection technique can deliver both audio and video information in a 6-meter vacuum tunnel, and the bit-error-rate performance of the communication system is analyzed. But it is difficult to implement applications in industries. The point is to find a way to reduce the signal divergence geometrical attenuation and increase the distance of the communication which can be regarded as an important foundation of future deep-space X-ray communication applications. Therefore, it is urgent to study the X-ray communication system. By using a nested X-ray focusing optics as transmitting and receiving antennas of the communication system, the signal gain and the distance of X-ray communication can be greatly improved. Specifically, the nested X-ray focusing optics is similar to the Wolter type I telescope, which is widely used in the field of X-ray astronomy. The difference between them is that the Wolter type I optics is originally proposed based on a paraboloid mirror and a hyperboloid mirror, but X-ray focusing optics, the simplified Wolter type I optics, provides a single reflection by a conical approximation mirror, and it is more suitable for X-ray communication. In this paper, aiming at the future demand of X-ray communication, the optimization and analysis of the nested X-ray focusing optics are carried out, and the recurrence relations between the layers of mirrors are derived. Reasonable initial structural parameters and structure of the optics are designed. In addition, the theoretical effective collection area is calculated. Feasibility of using the X-ray focusing optics as transmitting and receiving antennas is analyzed, and the theory and structural design of the X-ray focusing optical are discussed. Signal divergence of transmitting antenna, effective area of receiving antenna, the focal spot size, and the signal gain properties are preliminary studied. The results show that the signal divergence is about 3 mrad, and the transmit gain is 23 dB; the effective area of receiving antenna is 5700 mm2at 1.5 keV. Moreover, the focal spot diameter and the receive gain are 4.5 mm and 25 dB, respectively, and the total gain of this communication system can reach up to 48 dB. © 2016 Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract: The past decade has witnessed great advances in three-dimensional (3-D) medical ultrasound (US) imaging instrumentation. An increasing demand for portable 3-D US equipment is one of the main trends upcoming in the market. In this study, we developed a low cost, portable, sensorless and wireless 3-D US imaging system. A laptop US scanner with a conventional linear probe and a convex probe was used to acquire 2-D US B-scans. A client program was developed and run on the US scanner for capturing the pictures of screen during a freehand scanning without a positional sensor, and then the JPEG compression was applied to the pictures for reducing the image data size. The image data was sent to a remote workstation in real-time through Wi-Fi connection. A neural network model was used to recognize the characters (e.g. imaging depth and probe model information) displayed on the screen of the US scanner. The server on the remote workstation communicated with the US scanner, received raw image data, and finally reconstructed 3-D US images.

Abstract: The exposure time and signal gain can be used to adjust the light intensity for a conventional CCD camera, but both of them can not be configured best. It is also very difficult to maximize the effectiveness of their dimming, especially for the condition of the changed illumination intensity, the large dynamic range and the unclear picture. For the above-mentioned shortages, the histogram equalization certain improvements, the deployment of exposure time and signal gain were optimized through precise deployment of exposure time and optimization of signal gain coefficients. After the test, the screen effect has been significantly improved, the adjustment time is less than 40 ms, and the system is stable and reliable. © 2016, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

Abstract: A high-power third-harmonic laser faces challenges in the filtering remnant unconverted fundamental frequency, which is from the frequency converting crystal. In this work, a novel fundamental-frequency-absorbed oxyfluoride glass has been prepared, which provides a possible option to solve the problem. By being doped with Fe2 ion, the glass shows strong absorption property at 1053 nm, and the glass's transmittances at 351 and 1053 nm are stable with changing the laser power or increasing the irradiation times under high-power laser irradiation. Meanwhile, the laser-induced damage threshold of the glass is 12.5 J/cm2 at 351 nm, which is two times higher than that of fused silica whose threshold is 6.2 J/cm2 in the same testing condition. The glass also exhibits a higher laserinduced damage threshold as well as 36.6 J/cm2 at its absorption wavelength of 1053 nm. The results indicate that this glass is promising as a color-separation optic, thus allowing a novel design for the final optics assembly in an inertial confinement fusion laser system. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: Aging face recognition refers to matching the same person's faces across different ages, e.g., matching a person's older face to his (or her) younger one, which has many important practical applications, such as finding missing children. The major challenge of this task is that facial appearance is subject to significant change during the aging process. In this paper, we propose to solve the problem with a hierarchical model based on two-level learning. At the first level, effective features are learned from low-level microstructures, based on our new feature descriptor called local pattern selection (LPS). The proposed LPS descriptor greedily selects low-level discriminant patterns in a way, such that intra-user dissimilarity is minimized. At the second level, higher level visual information is further refined based on the output from the first level. To evaluate the performance of our new method, we conduct extensive experiments on the MORPH data set (the largest face aging data set available in the public domain), which show a significant improvement in accuracy over the state-of-the-art methods. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: Accelerating beams have attracted much attention in the frontiers of optical physics and technology owing to their unique propagation dynamics of nondiffracting, self-healing, and freely accelerating along curved trajectories. Such behaviors essentially arise from the particular phase factor occurring in their spatial frequency spectrum, e.g., the cubic phase associated to the spectrum of Airy beam. In this paper, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate a sort of accelerating beam arrays, which are composed of spatially separated accelerating beams. By superimposing kinoforms of multifocal patterns into the spatial frequency spectrum of accelerating beams, different types of beam arrays, e.g., Airy beam arrays and two-main-lobe accelerating beam arrays, are generated and measured by scanning a reflection mirror near the focal region along the optical axis. The 3D intensity patterns reconstructed from the experimental data present good agreement with the theoretical counterparts. The combination of accelerating beams with optical beam arrays proposed here may find potential applications in various fields such as optical microscopes, optical micromachining, optical trapping, and so on. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: In this work, the fabrication and optical properties of a planar waveguide in a neodymium-doped calcium niobium gallium garnet (Nd:CNGG) crystal are reported. The waveguide is produced by proton (H+) implantation at 480 keV and a fluence of 1.01017ions/cm2. The prism-coupling measurement is performed to obtain the dark mode of the waveguide at a wavelength of 632.8 nm. The reflectivity calculation method (RCM) is used to reconstruct the refractive index profile. The finite-difference beam propagation method (FD-BPM) is employed to calculate the guided mode profile of the waveguide. The stopping and range of ions in matter 2010 (SRIM 2010) code is used to simulate the damage profile induced by the ion implantation. The experimental and theoretical results indicate that the waveguide can confine the light propagation. © 2016 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract: Due to the promising applications including video surveillance, video annotation, and interaction gaming, human action recognition from videos has attracted much research interest. Although various works have been proposed for human action recognition, there still exist many challenges such as illumination condition, viewpoint, camera motion and cluttered background. Extracting discriminative representation is one of the main ways to handle these challenges. In this paper, we propose a novel action recognition method that simultaneously learns middle-level representation and classifier by jointly training a multinomial logistic regression (MLR) model and a discriminative dictionary. In the proposed method, sparse code of low-level representation, conducting as latent variables of MLR, can capture the structure of low-level feature and thus is more discriminate. Meanwhile, the training of dictionary and MLR model are integrated into one objective function for considering the information of categories. By optimizing this objective function, we can learn a discriminative dictionary modulated by MLR and a MLR model driven by sparse coding. The proposed method is evaluated on YouTube action dataset and HMDB51 dataset. Experimental results demonstrate that our method is comparable with mainstream methods. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: According to the temperature tenability of chirped fiber grating, the minimum output pulse width can be obtained by controlling the fiber grating's temperature to change the dispersion of the chirped fiber grating, and the feasibility of this idea is demonstrated through experiments. The chirped fiber grating is used as the stretcher in the fiber chirped pulse amplification (CPA) system, and the gratings-pair is used as compressor. The positive dispersion brought by the stretcher is compensated by the negative dispersion provided by the compressor. The output pulse width is measured by the auto-correlation for denoting the dispersion of the chirped fiber Bragg grating indirectly as a function of temperature. It can be seen from the obtained experimental data that, when the temperature rises from -7℃ to 50℃, the pulse width falls from 1057 fs to 764 fs, and then rises to 910 fs, with a total change of 439 fs achieved. In the experiment, dispersion increases with temperature rising, changing from insufficient dispersion compensation to over dispersion compensation. © 2016, Chinese Lasers Press. All right reserved.

Abstract: We demonstrate an efficient all-optical control of microfiber resonator assisted by graphene's photothermal effect. Wrapping graphene onto a microfiber resonator, the light-graphene interaction can be strongly enhanced via the resonantly circulating light, which enables a significant modulation of the resonance with a resonant wavelength shift rate of 71 pm/mW when pumped by a 1540 nm laser. The optically controlled resonator enables the implementation of low threshold optical bistability and switching with an extinction ratio exceeding 13 dB. The thin and compact structure promises a fast response speed of the control, with a rise (fall) time of 294.7 μs (212.2 μs) following the 10%-90% rule. The proposed device, with the advantages of compact structure, all-optical control, and low power acquirement, offers great potential in the miniaturization of active in-fiber photonic devices. © 2016 Author(s).

Abstract: Residual smile limits the application of Czerny-Turner plane grating spectrometer in the imaging spectrometer. In this paper, different from the traditional method of smile correction based on prism, a method is proposed, which is based on the tilt field mirror. The field curve is corrected, at the same time, the different wavelength slit images in different regions of the field lens are corrected, and the other optical properties of the system are not changed. The Czerny Turner imaging spectrometer slit is 7.8 millimeter length and 0.016 millimeter wide, spectral range from 0.31 to 0.5 microns, spectral resolution 0.4 nanometers, the object focal length 70 millimeters, 1:1 magnification. Optimization design results, MTF over 0.8, RMS spot radius less than 9 microns, the relative smile less than 0.2%, meet the design requirements.

Abstract: Wave-front coding is a classical computational imaging technique and famous for its capability in extending the depth of focus (DOF) of incoherent imaging system. In fact, besides the DOF extension, this technique has the potentials in realizing super-resolution imaging, which is rare to be investigated in existing literatures. On the one hand, the introduction of phase mask makes defocus invariance of optical transfer function (OTF) possible and the dramatic decrease of modulus of OTF alleviates the aliasing effect owned by most digital imaging systems. In this case, a better image data suitable for super-resolution imaging could be provided. On the other hand, the prominent expansion of point spread function (PSF) allows us to obtain the real sampled PSF corresponding to any specific pitch size in a digital way using the ideal continuous optical PSF whose sampling interval could be considered as unlimitedly small. Therefore, based on these two characteristics, an amplification based single image super-resolution reconstruction algorithm was especially designed for wave-front coded imaging system and an experimental prototype camera has been fabricated to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm. The results demonstrate that the extended DOF which is more than 20 times original DOF has been obtained and at least 3X super-resolution reconstruction effect could be achieved. Besides that, the quality of reconstructed image approaches the diffraction limited level. © 2016, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering. All right reserved.

Abstract: The ability to slow down wave propagation in materials has attracted significant research interest. A successful solution will give rise to manageable enhanced wave-matter interaction, freewheeling phase engineering and spatial compression of wave signals. The existing methods are typically associated with constructing dispersive materials or structures with local resonators, thus resulting in unavoidable distortion of waveforms. Here we show that, with helical-structured acoustic metamaterials, it is now possible to implement dispersion-free sound deceleration. The helical-structured metamaterials present a non-dispersive high effective refractive index that is tunable through adjusting the helicity of structures, while the wavefront revolution plays a dominant role in reducing the group velocity. Finally, we numerically and experimentally demonstrate that the helical-structured metamaterials with designed inhomogeneous unit cells can turn a normally incident plane wave into a self-Accelerating beam on the prescribed parabolic trajectory. The helical-structured metamaterials will have profound impact to applications in explorations of slow wave physics.

Abstract: Clustering is a useful statistical tool in computer vision and machine learning. It is generally accepted that introducing supervised information brings remarkable performance improvement to clustering. However, assigning accurate labels is expensive when the amount of training data is huge. Existing supervised clustering methods handle this problem by transferring the bag-level labels into the instance-level descriptors. However, the assumption that each bag has a single label limits the application scope seriously. In this paper, we propose weakly supervised multilabel clustering, which allows assigning multiple labels to a bag. Based on this, the instance-level descriptors can be clustered with the guidance of bag-level labels. The key technique is a weakly supervised random forest that infers the model parameters. Thereby, a deterministic annealing strategy is developed to optimize the nonconvex objective function. The proposed algorithm is efficient in both the training and the testing stages. We apply it to three popular computer vision tasks: 1) image clustering; 2) semantic image segmentation; and 3) multiple objects localization. Impressive performance on the state-of-the-art image data sets is achieved in our experiments. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: The origin of high-spatial-frequency laser-induced periodic surface structures (HSFL) driven by incident ultrafast laser fields, with their ability to achieve structure resolutions below λ/2, is often obscured by the overlap with regular ripples patterns at quasi-wavelength periodicities. We experimentally demonstrate here employing defined surface topographies that these structures are intrinsically related to surface roughness in the nano-scale domain. Using Zr-based bulk metallic glass (Zr-BMG) and its crystalline alloy (Zr-CA) counterpart formed by thermal annealing from its glassy precursor, we prepared surfaces showing either smooth appearances on thermoplastic BMG or high-density nano-protuberances from randomly distributed embedded nano-crystallites with average sizes below 200 nm on the recrystallized alloy. Upon ultrashort pulse irradiation employing linearly polarized 50 fs, 800 nm laser pulses, the surfaces show a range of nanoscale organized features. The change of topology was then followed under multiple pulse irradiation at fluences around and below the single pulse threshold. While the former material (Zr-BMG) shows a specific high quality arrangement of standard ripples around the laser wavelength, the latter (Zr-CA) demonstrates strong predisposition to form high spatial frequency rippled structures (HSFL). We discuss electromagnetic scenarios assisting their formation based on near-field interaction between particles and field-enhancement leading to structure linear growth. Finite-differencetime-domain simulations outline individual and collective effects of nanoparticles on electromagnetic energy modulation and the feedback processes in the formation of HSFL structures with correlation to regular ripples (LSFL). ©2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: An unsupervised learning algorithm with density information considered is proposed for congested scene classification. Though many works have been proposed to address general scene classification during the past years, congested scene classification is not adequately studied yet. In this paper, an efficient unsupervised feature learning approach with density information encoded is proposed to solve this problem. Based on spherical k-means, a feature selection process is proposed to eliminate the learned noisy features. Then, local density information which better reflects the crowdedness of a scene is encoded by a novel feature pooling strategy. The proposed method is evaluated on the assembled congested scene data set and UIUC-sports data set, and intensive comparative experiments justify the effectiveness of the proposed approach. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd (50 refs.)Main Heading: Classification (of information)Controlled terms: Algorithms - Computer vision - Learning algorithmsUncontrolled terms: Density estimation - Feature pooling - K-means - Scene classification - Unsupervised feature learningClassification Code: 716.1 Information Theory and Signal ProcessingInformation Theory and Signal Processing - 723.5 Computer ApplicationsComputer Applications

Abstract: The experimental system with a closed bomb was employed to discuss the characteristics of 4/7 high-nitrogen solid propellant burning rate enhanced by plasma. The plasma energy transferred into the closed bomb was measured by the utilization efficiency of the plasma generator electrical energy. A transient burning rate formula of propellant including the influence of pressure gradient and an enhanced gas generation rates coefficient by electrical power was presented. The enhanced gas generation rates coefficient of 4/7 high-nitrogen solid propellant is equal to 0.005 MW-1. Compared with the burning rate formula given by Woodley, the pressure curve simulated by the transient burning rate formula is in better agreement with the tests. And the transient burning rate formula can describe the combustion process of solid propellant by plasma more accurately. © 2016, Editorial Board of EXPLOSION AND SHOCK WAVES. All right reserved.

Abstract: Example learning-based image super-resolution techniques estimate a high-resolution image from a low-resolution input image by relying on high- and low-resolution image pairs. An important issue for these techniques is how to model the relationship between high- and low-resolution image patches: most existing complex models either generalize hard to diverse natural images or require a lot of time for model training, while simple models have limited representation capability. In this paper, we propose a simple, effective, robust, and fast (SERF) image super-resolver for image super-resolution. The proposed super-resolver is based on a series of linear least squares functions, namely, cascaded linear regression. It has few parameters to control the model and is thus able to robustly adapt to different image data sets and experimental settings. The linear least square functions lead to closed form solutions and therefore achieve computationally efficient implementations. To effectively decrease these gaps, we group image patches into clusters via k-means algorithm and learn a linear regressor for each cluster at each iteration. The cascaded learning process gradually decreases the gap of high-frequency detail between the estimated high-resolution image patch and the ground truth image patch and simultaneously obtains the linear regression parameters. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves superior performance with lower time consumption than the state-of-the-art methods. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: A bandwidth-tunable dissipative soliton (DS) and noise-like pulse are demonstrated in an all-fiber normal dispersion fiber laser by employing a novel spectral filtering scheme. The mode locker is fabricated with a mixture composite that combines the merits of graphene and carbon nanotubes. At a pump power of 39 mW, a DS with knife edges is generated at 1565 nm. One of the steep edges is induced by gain spectral filtering and another is cut by a chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG). With higher pump power, the noise-like pulse operation displays an asymmetric spectral profile, confirming the novel combined spectral filtering. When the CFBG is stretched mechanically, the bandwidth of the DS and noise-like pulse can be tuned. The bandwidth-tunable mode-locked fiber laser has numerous potential applications, such as pulse shaping, as an amplifier and in optical nonlinear investigations. © 2016 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract: Classification is a hot topic in hyperspectral remote sensing community. In the last decades, numerous efforts have been concentrated on the classification problem. Most of the existing studies and research efforts are following the conventional pattern recognition paradigm, which is based on complex handcrafted features. However, it is rarely known which features are important for the problem. In this paper, a new classification skeleton based on deep machine learning is proposed for hyperspectral data. The proposed classification framework, which is composed of exponential momentum deep convolution neural network and support vector machine (SVM), can hierarchically construct high-level spectral-spatial features in an automated way. Experimental results and quantitative validation on widely used datasets showcase the potential of the developed approach for accurate hyperspectral data classification. © 2016 Qi Yue and Caiwen Ma.

Abstract: A fiber-optic sensing scheme of measuring pressure is described here. The high reflective mirror in a laser cavity is replaced by a Sagnac loop in this scheme. The method combining the Sagnac effect with fiber loop ringdown technology fully embodies the advantages of both. The working principle is discussed in detail, and the whole sensing performance is demonstrated by applying sensing force to the sensor area. The sensing force can be obtained by measuring the ringdown time. The pressure measurement range of this device is 40 to 350 N. The detection sensitivity 0.4 ns/N can be realized in this system. The experimental curve reveals a close relationship between the sensing strain and the ringdown time. © 2016 Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

Abstract: Stem-Boring Pest (SBP) cause the most prevalent problem that harms the health of trees. Traditional SBP prevention uses manual survey of wormholes and is a time-consuming process. This paper proposes a novel Trunk Wormhole Detection (TWD) method based on Bio-Impedance Spectroscopy (BIS) measurements. A horizontal and a vertical trunk wormhole phantoms are prepared, and comparative BIS measurements under the situations without and with holes are performed using a precision impedance analyzers WK6500B. Remarkable differences both on impedance amplitudes and phases have been found before and after the holes formed in the phantoms. The Cole model parameter analysis finds that the Cole parameter R∞ decreases by 43.82% in the horizontal phantom, and decreases by 63.13% in the vertical phantoms, which suggests that R∞ may be an efficient indicator to detect trunk wormholes. © 2016, UK Simulation Society.

Abstract: By exploiting the polarization-sensitive coupling effect of graphene with the optical mode, we investigate the polarization modulation properties of a hybrid waveguide of graphene-integrated excessively tilted fiber grating (Ex-TFG). The theoretical analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the real and imaginary parts of complex refractive index of fewlayer graphene exhibit different effects on transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) cladding modes of the Ex-TFG, enabling stronger absorption in the TE mode and more wavelength shift in the TM mode. Furthermore, the surrounding refractive index can modulate the complex optical constant of graphene and then the polarization properties of the hybrid waveguide, such as resonant wavelength and peak intensity. Therefore, the unique polarization tuning property induced by the integration of the graphene layer with Ex-TFG may endow potential applications in all-in-one fiber modulators, fiber lasers, and biochemical sensors. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: Zoom mirror is a kind of active optical component that can change its curvature radius dynamically. Normally, zoom mirror is used to correct the defocus and spherical aberration caused by thermal lens effect to improve the beam quality of high power solid-state laser since that component was invented. Recently, the probable application of zoom mirror in realizing non-moving element optical zoom imaging in visible band has been paid much attention. With the help of optical leveraging effect, the slightly changed local optical power caused by curvature variation of zoom mirror could be amplified to generate a great alteration of system focal length without moving elements involved in, but in this application the shorter working wavelength and higher surface figure accuracy requirement make the design and fabrication of such a zoom mirror more difficult. Therefore, the key to realize non-moving element optical zoom imaging in visible band lies in zoom mirror which could provide a large enough saggitus variation while still maintaining a high enough surface figure. Although the annular force based actuation could deform a super-Thin mirror having a constant thickness to generate curvature variation, it is quite difficult to maintain a high enough surface figure accuracy and this phenomenon becomes even worse when the diameter and the radius-Thickness ratio become bigger. In this manuscript, by combing the pressurization based actuation with a variable thickness mirror design, the purpose of obtaining large saggitus variation and maintaining quite good surface figure accuracy at the same time could be achieved. A prototype zoom mirror with diameter of 120mm and central thickness of 8mm is designed, fabricated and tested. Experimental results demonstrate that the zoom mirror having an initial surface figure accuracy superior to 1/50λ could provide at least 21um saggitus variation and after finishing the curvature variation its surface figure accuracy could still be superior to 1/20λ, which proves that the effectiveness of the theoretical design. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: In order to resolve the disturbance of external perturbation in Weight-In-Motion (WIM) measurement by traditional methods, a novel pressure sensor for WIM of vehicles based on fiber ring-down spectroscopy is proposed here. A micro-bending sensing head is designed and its working principle is discussed in this paper. The fiber loop ring-down (FLRD) system reveals that the sensing forces applied to the sensing head can be obtained by measuring the ring-down time. Meanwhile, the velocity of vehicles is measured by analyzing two ring-down spectrums in this scheme. Experiment results show that the precision of velocity of vehicles is good and the sensor has a linear response to the applied force. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Gaussian mixture model based detection algorithms can easily lead to fragmentary due to the fixed number of Gaussian components. In this paper, we propose a gestalt principle based change target extraction method, and further present a background reconstruction algorithm. In particular, firstly we applied the Gaussian mixture model to extract the moving target as others did but this may lead to incomplete extraction. Secondly, we have also tried to apply the frame difference method to extract the moving target more precisely. Finally, we determine to build a static background according to relationships between each frame of a moving target. Experiment results reveal that the proposed detection method outperforms the other three representative detection methods. Moreover, our background reconstruction algorithm is also proved to be very effective and robust in reconstructing the backgrounds of a video. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2016.

Abstract: The traditional CCD offset correction processing method is to obtain normal exposure image and dark field image respectively. In the later image processing, use normal exposure image minus the dark field image. Although traditional method can offset correction, but cannot to realize real-time offset correction. Because the traditional method is to obtain offset correction after acquire normal exposure image and dark field image, while the normal exposure image and dark field image is not acquired at the same time. This method would reduce the offset correction precision. A novel method to real-time offset correction for frame transfer CCD is proposed in this paper. The method is based on the improvement of the traditional frame transfer CCD driving timing and CCD signal processing sequence. The traditional frame transfer CCD driving timing is exposure, frame transfer and read CCD level shift register. An offset correction line is added before read CCD data storage area to acquire the offset variation of the each frame image. Take it as a normal image data. In CCD signal processing algorithm to offset calculation and correction. This novel method can correct the offset of each frame image each pixel data real time. In this way the effect on the images from the variation of the offset caused by factors such as the working temperature and the aging of electronic devices in CCD signal processing circuit of CCD camera is restrained. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: As one of the most important applications of microwave photonic, ROF (Radio over Fiber) system, which combines the advantages of optical communication and wireless communication, is a good candidate for broadband mobile Communication In this paper, we built and simulation a 60GHz RoF(Radio-over-Fiber) transmission system based on PM modulator. First, we introduce the PM-IM(Phase modulation to intensity modulation) modulation mechanisms by the breaking the phase balanced approach. This method solves the problem that the constant envelope (phase modulation signal) generated by the phase modulator can not be directly detected by a photo detector. A standard single-mode fiber (SMF) is connected input to the F-P(Fabry-Perot) optical filter, which is to achieve the PM-IM modulation conversion by changing the wavelength of the laser or the frequency of the modulation factor of the F-P optical filter to adapt to different fiber lengths and the signal transmission rate. These two methods which changing the phase relationship between the optical carrier and the optical side band can realize the ideal phase transition to obtain efficient and low loss modulation conversion. Finally, the simulation results show that different fiber lengths and the signal transmission rate configuration of different wavelength of the laser or the frequency of the modulation factor of the F-P optical filter, the BER performance and the eye diagram of the 60GHz RoF transmission system signals have been improved based on these PM-IM modulation methods. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: In recent data mining research, the graph clustering methods, such as normalized cut and ratio cut, have been well studied and applied to solve many unsupervised learning applications. The original graph clustering methods are NP-hard problems. Traditional approaches used spectral relaxation to solve the graph clustering problems. The main disadvantage of these approaches is that the obtained spectral solutions could severely deviate from the true solution. To solve this problem, in this paper, we propose a new relaxation mechanism for graph clustering methods. Instead of minimizing the squared distances of clustering results, we use the ℓ1-norm distance. More important, considering the normalized consistency, we also use the ℓ1- norm for the normalized terms in the new graph clustering relaxations. Due to the sparse result from the ℓ1-norm minimization, the solutions of our new relaxed graph clustering methods get discrete values with many zeros, which are close to the ideal solutions. Our new objectives are difficult to be optimized, because the minimization problem involves the ratio of nonsmooth terms. The existing sparse learning optimization algorithms cannot be applied to solve this problem. In this paper, we propose a new optimization algorithm to solve this difficult non-smooth ratio minimization problem. The extensive experiments have been performed on three two-way clustering and eight multi-way clustering benchmark data sets. All empirical results show that our new relaxation methods consistently enhance the normalized cut and ratio cut clustering results. © Copyright 2016, Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (www.aaai.org).

Abstract: In order to realize real-time static image recovery under hazy weather, a new theory of polarimetric dehazing was presented based on study of the atmospheric scattering model, analyzation on the effects of aerosols and the method of atmospheric scattering correction. The polarimetric information is obtained statically from the original images by Stokes equation and the Muller matrix. The sky region is extracted in real time based on the polarimetric measurement of the hole image. The influence of the range of polarization orientation angle and the threshold of air light intensity are analyzed based on the extraction result. The real time static polarimetric image dehazing method can be realized with fixed linear polarimetric images. No manual operation or subjective evaluation is needed which greatly simplifies the dehazing process. The accuracy of image recovery is increased by solving the problem of the estimation of the global parameters. The real time static polarimetric dehazing method provides a new theoretical and technical way for high-resolution, high stability and real-time image recovery under hazy weather. © 2016, Editorial Department of Journal of Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.

Abstract: This paper presents a framework for evaluating quality of video encoding algorithms. This technique works by collecting source videos, encoding the source videos with a given algorithm, and decoding the compressed sequences. The decoded video shall be measured with the original sources in a specific evaluation method and feedback to the algorithm. Under the guidance of this framework, an implementation based on embedded device is achieved. Firstly, we collect test source videos in two ways: the commonly used standard sequences and actual scenes captured by camera. Secondly, a popular video encoding standard, H.264, is realized on TMS320DM368, a digital media system-on-chip produced by TEXAS INSTRUMENTS (TI). Finally, peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) is implemented and computed among different test sequences. In the experiments, we achieve the real time compression of high definition videos with an acceptable PSNR. The video quality framework also can be easily extended to other encoding algorithms. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: In image analysis, the images are often represented by multiple visual features (also known as multiview features), that aim to better interpret them for achieving remarkable performance of the learning. Since the processes of feature extraction on each view are separated, the multiple visual features of images may include overlap, noise, and redundancy. Thus, learning with all the derived views of the data could decrease the effectiveness. To address this, this paper simultaneously conducts a hierarchical feature selection and a multiview multilabel (MVML) learning for multiview image classification, via embedding a proposed a new block-row regularizer into the MVML framework. The block-row regularizer concatenating a Frobenius norm (F-norm) regularizer and an 2,1-norm regularizer is designed to conduct a hierarchical feature selection, in which the F-norm regularizer is used to conduct a high-level feature selection for selecting the informative views (i.e., discarding the uninformative views) and the 2,1-norm regularizer is then used to conduct a low-level feature selection on the informative views. The rationale of the use of a block-row regularizer is to avoid the issue of the over-fitting (via the block-row regularizer), to remove redundant views and to preserve the natural group structures of data (via the F-norm regularizer), and to remove noisy features (the 2,1-norm regularizer), respectively. We further devise a computationally efficient algorithm to optimize the derived objective function and also theoretically prove the convergence of the proposed optimization method. Finally, the results on real image datasets show that the proposed method outperforms two baseline algorithms and three state-of-The-Art algorithms in terms of classification performance. © 2013 IEEE.

Abstract: This study investigates a novel structure for surface plasmon resonance sensing and its dual-wavelength differential method. The surface plasmon wave is excited by a planar waveguide, which is prepared through the ion-exchange method. The distribution of refractive indices is fitted by the Fermi function. The sensing structure is based on a symmetric structure with a metal layer, a measured medium, and another metal layer. The condition for refractive index matching changes with the thicknesses of test samples, thus the test range can be adjusted using this structure. Given two appropriate wavelengths and for detection by the intensity method and an increase in the refractive index, the intensity variety at can be positive, whereas that at can be negative. When the refractive indices are determined based on differential values, sensitivity is improved. Solutions with refractive index values ranging from 1.33 to 1.428 are detected in the experiments using the single-wavelength method and the dual-wavelength differential method. Results show that the differential detection method enhances the adjustability and sensitivity of the SPR sensor in combination with a symmetric structure. © 2015 Taylor & Francis.

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 μm/s feeding speed. © 2015, Springer-Verlag London.

Abstract: A high-speed free-space optical communication scheme based on optical time-division multiplexing (OTDM) is experimentally demonstrated. By multiplexing eight 2.5Gb/s base-rate signals, which is generated from a repetition-tunable actively mode-locked fiber ring laser modulated by pseudo-random binary sequence data stream, a 20Gb/s OTDM packet is obtained. After 50 m high-speed FSO system transmission, the 20Gb/s OTDM packet is injected into a highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) loop to realize polarization-insensitive de-multiplexing based on four-wave mixing (FWM). Experimental results show that the OTDM de-multiplexer bit error rate (BER) can achieve 10−9level with steady operation over 24 h, proving the practicality of this system. © 2016, The Optical Society of India.

With the proposed method, the objective function is decomposed into pieces that can be processed individually. No inverse operator is involved in our method and the highly parallel structure makes it preferable in distributed computation. The convergence is proven and the convergence rate is analyzed.

Abstract: To improve the stray light testing ability and calibration accuracy of the stray light equipment used in test of the Point Source Transmittance (PST), a calibration lens was proposed to calibrate the testing range and testing accuracy of the equipment in a large off-axial angle. By using a simple physical model, the calibration lens was designed in a laboratory. The physical parameters of the calibration lens were measured, then these parameters were taken into the TracePro to calculate the PSTs in different off-axial angles. Finally, the calculated result and the tested result of PSTs were compared, and the test accuracy of the equipment were obtained. The experimental results indicate that the difference between calculate results and testing results of the calibration lens is better than lg/0.5, meeting the need of testing accuracy calibration of the stray light equipment in testing PSTs and providing a reliable reference for the absolute measurement of PSTs. This technology solves the problem in testing accuracy calibration of PST measuring systems. © 2016, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract: Robust object tracking is a challenging task in computer vision. Since the appearance of the target changes frequently, how to build and update the appearance model is crucial. In this paper, to better represent the object dynamically, we propose a robust object tracker based on diverse templates. First, we construct diverse multiple templates using the determinantal point process algorithm adaptively, which efficiently detects the most diverse subset of a set. Second, a patch-matching method is employed to propagate every template density to the next frame, and a voting map for each template is constructed by all matching patches. Third, a weighted Bayesian filter framework aggregates all voting maps to optimize target state. Finally, in order to maintain the diversity of multiple templates, we dynamically add, remove and replace the target from templates. Experimental results prove that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art tracking algorithms significantly in terms of center position errors and success rates. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: Despite the significant progress in making hollow structures, it is still a challenge to synthesize some specialized hollow structures. In the present work, we obtained a new hollow hematite structure, tube-in-dodecahedron, by using the stepwise influences of fluoride and phosphate anions. Based on condition-dependent experiments, we proposed a "nucleation-aggregation-recrystallition and etching" mechanism, which also directed us to synthesize a series of hematite hollow structures, including hollow dodecahedron and hollow ellipsoid. The concentration of phosphate was found to play a decisive role in the control of these hollow structures. 0.08 mM is the critical point for keeping the top facets of dodecahedral hematite particles while 0.2 mM is the upper limit for keeping the lateral facets. The magnetic properties of these synthesized hollow hematite structures were found to be closely associated with the structures. The synthesized tube-in-dodecahedral hematite particles exhibited excellent photocatalytic reactivity toward organic dyes. © 2016 The Royal Society of Chemistry.

Abstract: A multi-function system based on inertial measurement unit (IMU) is introduced, which can fulfill navigation, attitude measurement of LOS in payload, platform stabilization and tracking control. The IMU is integrated with electro-optical sensors and a laser range finder on gimbals, which performs attitude calculation and navigation by constructing navigation coordinates in a mathematic platform, and the platform navigation information is obtained by transformation matrix between platform and gimbal coordinates. The platform comprising of gyros, electro-optical sensors and servo mechanism is capable of stabilizing line of sight and could be used to geo-tracking in the relevant field of view (FOV).The system can determine geography coordinates of the host platform and target only with navigation information and laser ranging data. The geo-tracking system always locked the target image at the center of FOV by calculating spatial geometry and adjusting LOS attitude. This tracking is different from TV tracking and geographical reference image tracking, which may be influenced by fog and obscurant. When the UAV is flying over urban or mountain areas for rescue missions, it can avoid the loss of targets due to strong maneuver or LOS obscuration, and reduce the operation load and improve rescue efficiency. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: The parabolic primary mirror (PM) of space solar telescope is sensitive to the serious external loads and surface variation of PM has large influence on the optical performance of the telescope. To evaluate the PM change under the external loads accurately, the high-precision algorithm based on the comprehensive surface parameter is presented. The discrete error of finite element discretization of optical surface is concerned for the first time and the elimination of discrete error is discussed as well. The calculation method of surface parameter including rigid body displacement, surface focus and root mean square is researched. Based on the high-precision algorithm, the surface parameter of PM under the isothermal temperature change is calculated and the law curve of surface parameter is also obtained with the change of temperature. The significant simulation result of surface parameter can effectively evaluate the surface change and guide the structure and environmental adaptation design of the PM. © 2016 Elsevier GmbH (14 refs.)Main Heading: Parameter estimationControlled terms: Algorithms - Errors - Mirrors - Rigid structures - TelescopesUncontrolled terms: Change of temperatures - Environmental adaptation - Finite-element discretization - Isothermal temperature - Optical performance - Rigid body displacement - Space solar telescope - Surface parameterClassification Code: 408 Structural DesignStructural Design - 741.3 Optical Devices and SystemsOptical Devices and Systems

Abstract: The stochastic resonance based on optical bistability in the semiconductor optical amplifier is numerically investigated to extract a weak pulse signal buried in noise. The output property of optical bistability under different system parameters is analyzed, which determines the performance of the stochastic resonance. Through optimizing these parameters, the noise-hidden signal is extracted via stochastic resonance, in which the maximum cross-correlation gain higher than nine is obtained. This provides a novel technology for detecting a weak optical signal in various signal processing fields. © 2016 Chinese Optics Letters.

Abstract: Most state-of-the-art methods in pedestrian detection are unable to achieve a good trade-off between accuracy and efficiency. For example, ACF has a fast speed but a relatively low detection rate, while checkerboards have a high detection rate but a slow speed. Inspired by some simple inherent attributes of pedestrians (i.e., appearance constancy and shape symmetry), we propose two new types of non-neighboring features: side-inner difference features (SIDF) and symmetrical similarity features (SSFs). SIDF can characterize the difference between the background and pedestrian and the difference between the pedestrian contour and its inner part. SSF can capture the symmetrical similarity of pedestrian shape. However, it is difficult for neighboring features to have such above characterization abilities. Finally, we propose to combine both non-neighboring features and neighboring features for pedestrian detection. It is found that non-neighboring features can further decrease the log-average miss rate by 4.44%. The relationship between our proposed method and some state-of-the-art methods is also given. Experimental results on INRIA, Caltech, and KITTI data sets demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods without using CNN, our method achieves the best detection performance on Caltech, outperforming the second best method (i.e., checkerboards) by 2.27%. Using the new annotations of Caltech, it can achieve 11.87% miss rate, which outperforms other methods. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: Waveguide (trace guiding type) inscription condition inside Yb3+doped phosphate bulk glass was investigated under irradiating of 50 kHz repetition rate volume ultrafast lasers. We processed single trace and multi-core ones inside the bulk material, the captured near field mode pattern confirmed that both structures perform good guiding properties. Beam shaping technique was adopted during fabrication of the single trace in order to obtain a relative symmetric waveguide cross section. Waveguide lasing was achieved in the single line trace with a linear cavity configuration. The maximum laser output of 11 mW was obtained under mono-directional of 980 nm space light pumping, with ~2% corresponding slope efficiency. Guiding mode could be manipulated in the Expanded-core waveguide (ECW) by extra design freedom in the structure parameter, and ECW generally support larger effective mode area light transporting.

Abstract: Thermal stress is an influential factor for the reliability of HPDL and their optical properties. Two packages of conduction-cooled-packaged 60W HPDL were selected as the study samples. In order to investigate what reflow factors influence thermo-mechanical of HPLD, a COS model is established. In reflow process and working process, hard solder package suffers higher thermal stress. Thermal stress mainly comes from reflow process. In reflow process, copper mount will deteriorate thermo-mechanical of hard solder package. There exists shear stress in HPLD and it will convert TE-polarized power to TM-polarized power. In working process, uniaxial normal stress along the width direction of QW is mainly influenced by coefficient expansion thermal. The displacement of HCS along growth direction is larger than that of CS, whereas the 'smile' value is smaller. 'Smile' is mainly impacted by CTE of solder and submount. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: Visual feature learning, which aims to construct an effective feature representation for visual data, has a wide range of applications in computer vision. It is often posed as a problem of nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF), which constructs a linear representation for the data. Although NMF is typically parallelized for efficiency, traditional parallelization methods suffer from either an expensive computation or a high runtime memory usage. To alleviate this problem, we propose a parallel NMF method called alternating least square block decomposition (ALSD), which efficiently solves a set of conditionally independent optimization subproblems based on a highly parallelized fine-grained grid-based blockwise matrix decomposition. By assigning each block optimization subproblem to an individual computing node, ALSD can be effectively implemented in a MapReduce-based Hadoop framework. In order to cope with dynamically varying visual data, we further present an incremental version of ALSD, which is able to incrementally update the NMF solution with a low computational cost. Experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and scalability of the proposed methods as well as their applications to image clustering and image retrieval. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: Traditional slanted knife-edge method experiences large errors in the camera modulation transfer function (MTF) due to tilt angle error in the knife-edge resulting in non-uniform sampling of the edge spread function. In order to resolve this problem, a non -uniform sampling knife-edge method for camera MTF measurement is proposed. By applying a simple direct calculation of the Fourier transform of the derivative for the non-uniform sampling data, the camera super-sampled MTF results are obtained. Theoretical simulations for images with and without noise under different tilt angle errors are run using the proposed method. It is demonstrated that the MTF results are insensitive to tilt angle errors. To verify the accuracy of the proposed method, an experimental setup for camera MTF measurement is established. Measurement results show that the proposed method is superior to traditional methods, and improves the universality of the slanted knife-edge method for camera MTF measurement. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Real-time full frame view of surveillance camera provides integral visual information of scene. High definition imaging and zooming are widely adopted when observers want to capture more detail information of targets. The optical zooming can provide high zoom ratio detail images of target as well as maintain imaging definition, however, it fails to obtain full view of scene when zoomed, and the field of observation decreases to region of target. Digital zooming is an effective approach to keep the balance between imaging field and visual detail information. This paper presents a method of stepless zooming for digital video camera which could be widely used in autonomous pan, tilt and zoom surveillance system. In view of hardware resources and algorithm realizability, an optimized zooming processing structure is proposed. According to input zoom ratio parameter, it can extract pixels of region of interest adaptively and display with original imaging size by mapping and interpolation algorithms. Experimental results indicate that the stepless zooming method can be capable of achieving 1080p high definition imaging and 30 frame/s video capture. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: With the development of space and aviation industry, the optical systems with high resolution and better imaging quality are required. According to the alignment technical process, the factors of every step which have big influence to the imaging quality are analyzed. It is detected that the micro-stress assembly of the optical unit and the high co-Axial precision of the entire optical system are the two important factors which are supposed to determine how well the imaging quality of the optical system is; also the technical methods are discussed to ensure these two factors from the engineering view. The reflective interference testing method to measure the surface figure and the transitive interference testing method to measure the wave aberration of the optical unit are combined to ensure the micro-stress assembly of the optical unit, so it will not bring astigmatism to the whole system imaging quality. Optical alignment machining and precision alignment are combined to ensure the high co-Axial precision of the optical system. An optical lens of high accuracy is assembled by using these methods; the final wave aberration of optical lens is 0.022λ. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Background subtraction (BGS) is a fundamental preprocessing step in most video-based applications. Most BGS methods fail to handle dynamic unconstrained scenarios accurately. This is because of overreliance on statistical model. In this paper, we develop a novel non-parametric sample-based background subtraction method. First, the background sample set is initialized by a clean sample frame rather than the first frame. This can avoid introducing a ghost when the first frame contains foreground objects. Here, we utilize the Gaussian mixture model to validate whether a pixel at the location is clean or not and construct the initialization of background model. Second, for an actual scenario with diversified environmental conditions (e.g., illumination changes, dynamic background), we employ normalized color space and a scale invariant local ternary pattern operator to handle these variations. In the meantime, in order to achieve high detection accuracy in the unconstrained scenarios without requiring any scenario-specific parameter tuning, we employ the perception-inspired confidence interval to modify the threshold in the color space. Third, the hole filling approach is used to reduce noise which comes from false segmentation, fill the blank area in the foreground region and maintain the integrity of foreground object. Our experimental results indicate that the proposed approach is superior to several state-of-the-art methods in terms of F-score and kappa index. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Graph-based approaches have been successful in unsupervised and semi-supervised learning. In this paper, we focus on the real-world applications where the same instance can be represented by multiple heterogeneous features. The key point of utilizing the graph-based knowledge to deal with this kind of data is to reasonably integrate the different representations and obtain the most consistent manifold with the real data distributions. In this paper, we propose a novel framework via the reformulation of the standard spectral learning model, which can be used for multiview clustering and semisupervised tasks. Unlike other methods in the literature, the proposed methods can learn an optimal weight for each graph automatically without introducing an additive parameter as previous methods do. Furthermore, our objective under semisupervised learning is convex and the global optimal result will be obtained. Extensive empirical results on different real-world data sets demonstrate that the proposed methods achieve comparable performance with the state-of-the-art approaches and can be used more practically.

Abstract: We presented three-dimensional image including reflectivity and depth image of a target with two traditional optical imaging systems based on time-correlated single photon counting technique (TCSPC), when it was illuminated by a MHz repetition rate pulsed laser source. The first one is bi-static system of which transmitted and received beams path are separated. Another one called mono-static system of which transmit and receive channels are coaxial, so it was also named by transceiver system. Experimental results produced by both systems showed that the mono-static system had more advantages of less noise from ambient light and no limitation about field area of view. While in practical applications, the target was far away leading to there were few photons return which was prejudicial to build 3D images with traditional imaging system. Thus an advanced one named first photon system was presented. This one was also a mono-static system on hardware system structure, but the control system structure was different with traditional transceiver system described in this paper. The difference was that the first return photon per pixel was recorded across system with first photon system, instead of overall return photons per pixel. That's to say only one detected return photon is needed for per pixel of this system to rebuild 3D images of target with less energy and time. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: This paper investigates graph spectral approaches to the problem of point pattern matching. Specifically, we concentrate on the issue of how to effectively use graph spectral properties to characterize point patterns in the presence of positional jitter and outliers. A novel local spectral descriptor is proposed to represent the attribute domain of feature points. For a point in a given point-set, weight graphs are constructed on its neighboring points and then their normalized Laplacian matrices are computed. According to the known spectral radius of the normalized Laplacian matrix, the distribution of the eigenvalues of these normalized Laplacian matrices is summarized as a histogram to form a descriptor. The proposed spectral descriptor is finally combined with the approximate distance order for recovering correspondences between point-sets. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach and its superiority to the existing methods. © 2013 IEEE.

Abstract: Chinese character font recognition (CCFR) has received increasing attention as the intelligent applications based on optical character recognition becomes popular. However, traditional CCFR systems do not handle noisy data effectively. By analyzing in detail the basic strokes of Chinese characters, we propose that font recognition on a single Chinese character is a sequence classification problem, which can be effectively solved by recurrent neural networks. For robust CCFR, we integrate a principal component convolution layer with the 2-D long short-term memory (2DLSTM) and develop principal component 2DLSTM (PC-2DLSTM) algorithm. PC-2DLSTM considers two aspects: 1) the principal component layer convolution operation helps remove the noise and get a rational and complete font information and 2) simultaneously, 2DLSTM deals with the long-range contextual processing along scan directions that can contribute to capture the contrast between character trajectory and background. Experiments using the frequently used CCFR dataset suggest the effectiveness of PC-2DLSTM compared with other state-of-the-art font recognition methods. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: The use of machine learning approaches for long-term hand tracking poses some major challenges such as attaining robustness to inconsistencies in lighting, scale and object appearances, background clutter, and total object occlusion/disappearance. To address these issues in this paper, we present a robust machine learning approach based on enhanced particle filter trackers. The inherent drawbacks associated with the particle filter approach, i.e., sample degeneration and sample impoverishment, are minimized by infusing the particle filter with the mean shift approach. Moreover, to instill our tracker with reacquisition ability, we propose a rotation invariant and efficient detection framework named beta histograms of oriented gradients. Our robust appearance model operates on the red, green, blue color histogram and our newly proposed rotation invariant noise compensated local binary patterns descriptor, which is a noise compensated, rotation invariant version of the local binary patterns descriptor. Through our experiments, we demonstrate that our proposed hand tracker performs favorably against state-of-the-art algorithms on numerous challenging video sequences of hand postures, and overcomes the largely unsolved problem of redetecting hands after they vanish and reappear into the frame. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: Learning-to-rank techniques have shown promising results in the domain of image ranking recently, where dimensionality reduction is a critical step to overcome the "curse of dimensionality". However, conventional dimensionality reduction approaches cannot guarantee the satisfying performance because the important ranking information is ignored. This paper presents a novel "Ranking Dimensionality Reduction" scheme specifically designed for learning-to-rank based image ranking, which aims at not only discovering the intrinsic structure of data but also keeping the ordinal information. Within this scheme, a new dimensionality reduction algorithm called Relevance Marginal Fisher Analysis (RMFA) is proposed. RMFA models the proposed pairwise constraints of relevance-link and irrelevance-link into the relevance graph and the irrelevance graph, and applies the graphs to build the objective function with the idea of Marginal Fisher Analysis (MFA). Further, a semi-supervised RMFA algorithm called Semi-RMFA is developed to offer a more general solution for the real-world application.

Abstract: A dual-end pumped Nd3+-doped index-crossover gain guided-index antiguided (IGG-IAG) fiber laser is analyzed in theory. Pump light propagation and output laser characteristics are both explored by solving the related rate equations. Simulation results show that pump power confined in the IGG-IAG fiber core is larger and more uniform than that of the gain-guided and index-antiguided(GG-IAG) fiber, and the optimum fiber length and the output power of the IGG-IAG fiber laser are both larger than that of GG-IAG fiber laser. The relationship between threshold pump power and doped concentration, fiber length, fiber radius is researched respectively. The analysis results give out a method for the optimal design of the IGG-IAG fiber laser. © 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Particulate backscattering coefficient is a main inherent optical properties (IOPs) of water, which is also a determining factor of ocean color and a basic parameter for inversion of satellite ocean color remote sensing. In-situ measurement with optical instruments is currently the main method for obtaining the particulate backscattering coefficient of water. Due to reflection and refraction by the mirrors in the instrument optical path, the emergent light source from the instrument may be partly polarized, thus to impact the measurement accuracy of water backscattering coefficient. At present, the light polarization of measuring instruments and its impact on the measurement accuracy of particulate backscattering coefficient are still poorly known. For this reason, taking a widely used backscattering coefficient measuring instrument HydroScat6 (HS-6) as an example in this paper, the polarization characteristic of the emergent light from the instrument was systematically measured, and further experimental study on the impact of the light polarization on the measurement accuracy of the particulate backscattering coefficient of water was carried out. The results show that the degree of polarization(DOP) of the central wavelength of emergent light ranges from 20% to 30% for all of the six channels of the HS-6, except the 590 nm channel from which the DOP of the emergent light is slightly low (~15%). Therefore, the emergent light from the HS-6 has significant polarization. Light polarization has non-neglectable impact on the measurement of particulate backscattering coefficient, and the impact degree varies with the wave band, linear polarization angle and suspended particulate matter(SPM) concentration. At different SPM concentrations, the mean difference caused by light polarization can reach 15.49%, 11.27%, 12.79%, 14.43%, 13.76%, and 12.46% in six bands, 420, 442, 470, 510, 590, and 670 nm, respectively. Consequently, the impact of light polarization on the measurement of particulate backscattering coefficient with an optical instrument should be taken into account, and the DOP of the emergent light should be reduced as much as possible. © 2016, Science Press.

Abstract: This paper reports a biomimetic design of microchannels in the planar reactors with the aim to optimize the photocatalytic efficiency of water purification. Inspired from biology, a bifurcated microchannel has been designed based on the Murray's law to connect to the reaction chamber for photocatalytic reaction. The microchannels are designed to have a constant depth of 50 μm but variable aspect ratios ranging from 0.015 to 0.125. To prove its effectiveness for photocatalytic water purification, the biomimetic planar reactors have been tested and compared with the non-biomimetic ones, showing an improvement of the degradation efficiency by 68%. By employing the finite element method, the flow process of the designed microchannel reactors has been simulated and analyzed. It is found that the biomimetic design owns a larger flow velocity fluctuation than that of the non-biomimetic one, which in turn results in a faster photocatalytic reaction speed. Such a biomimetic design paves the way for the design of more efficient planar reactors and may also find applications in other microfluidic systems that involve the use of microchannels. © 2016 AIP Publishing LLC.

Abstract: A simulation model was built to numerically investigate the electron emission property of a new surface-conduction electron emitter (SCE) with a raised emitter structure. The model calculated the electric field distribution, the electron emission characteristics, and the electron trajectories, which were useful for analyzing and understanding the microscopic mechanism of the electron emissions of the new SCE structure. It was found that the new structure increased the probability of electrons being collected by the anode which led to an increase of the anode current despite of the decrease of field emission current. This study benefits the advanced design of emitter structures in nanoscale technology for new types of electron sources. © 2016 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract: Using 940 nm diode laser as pumping source, a passively Q-switched Yb:YAG thin disk laser by Cr4+:YAG was realized. The Yb:YAG disk with 500 μm thickness was employed, the Yb3+atom fraction is 10%. The distribution of temperature in Yb:YAG disk with direct water cooling and SiC cooling with different thickness was theoretically simulated, respectively. The maximum output power of 2.8 W at 1030 nm was obtained with 800 μm SiC cooling, the output power has increased by 40% than that obtained with direct water cooling. The initial transmission of Cr4+:YAG crystal and the output coupling rate were optimized by Degnan's theory. With the initial transmission of Cr4+:YAG crystal of 93% and the output coupling rate of 10%, a stable pulse train of 1.95 W averaged output power with a pulse energy of 1.2 mJ and pulse width of 74 ns were obtained with 800 μm SiC cooling.

Abstract: We propose a non-paraxial hollow accelerating beam, which is formed by incoherently superposing two well-designed coherent accelerating beams. Very interestingly, this incoherent superposition does not hamper the acceleration dynamics pertaining to the coherent ones, but results in a hollow intensity pattern in the cross section transverse to the circular accelerating trajectory. By a simple optimization, this hollow cross section pattern can be effectively extended to an angle close to 90°. The magnitude and the phase of the angular spectrum of the beam are given followed by a suggested scheme to generate the beam in practice. Such highly self-bending hollow beams may find applications in some fields such as optical manipulation. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) has received considerable attentions in various areas for its psychological and physiological interpretation of naturally occurring data whose representation may be parts-based in the human brain. Despite its good practical performance, one shortcoming of original NMF is that it ignores intrinsic structure of data set. On one hand, samples might be on a manifold and thus one may hope that geometric information can be exploited to improve NMF's performance. On the other hand, features might correlate with each other, thus conventional L

Abstract: In view of the advantages of deep networks in producing useful representation, the generated features of different modality data (such as image, audio) can be jointly learned using Multimodal Restricted Boltzmann Machines (MRB-M). Recently, audiovisual speech recognition based the M-RBM has attracted much attention, and the MRBM shows its effectiveness in learning the joint representation across audiovisual modalities. However, the built networks have weakness in modeling the multimodal sequence which is the natural property of speech signal. In this paper, we will introduce a novel temporal multimodal deep learning architecture, named as Recurrent Temporal Multimodal RB-M (RTMRBM), that models multimodal sequences by transforming the sequence of connected MRBMs into a probabilistic series model. Compared with existing multimodal networks, it's simple and efficient in learning temporal joint representation. We evaluate our model on audiovisual speech datasets, two public (AVLetters and AVLetters2) and one self-build. The experimental results demonstrate that our approach can obviously improve the accuracy of recognition compared with standard MRBM and the temporal model based on conditional RBM. In addition, RTMRBM still outperforms non-temporal multimodal deep networks in the presence of the weakness of long-term dependencies. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: Extracting discriminative and robust features from video sequences is the first and most critical step in human action recognition. In this paper, instead of using handcrafted features, we automatically learn spatio-temporal motion features for action recognition. This is achieved via an evolutionary method, i.e., genetic programming (GP), which evolves the motion feature descriptor on a population of primitive 3D operators (e.g., 3D-Gabor and wavelet). In this way, the scale and shift invariant features can be effectively extracted from both color and optical flow sequences. We intend to learn data adaptive descriptors for different datasets with multiple layers, which makes fully use of the knowledge to mimic the physical structure of the human visual cortex for action recognition and simultaneously reduce the GP searching space to effectively accelerate the convergence of optimal solutions. In our evolutionary architecture, the average cross-validation classification error, which is calculated by an support-vector-machine classifier on the training set, is adopted as the evaluation criterion for the GP fitness function. After the entire evolution procedure finishes, the best-so-far solution selected by GP is regarded as the (near-)optimal action descriptor obtained. The GP-evolving feature extraction method is evaluated on four popular action datasets, namely KTH, HMDB51, UCF YouTube, and Hollywood2. Experimental results show that our method significantly outperforms other types of features, either hand-designed or machine-learned. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: Fast and accurately categorizing the millions of aerial images on Google Maps is a useful technique in pattern recognition. Existing methods cannot handle this task successfully due to two reasons: 1) the aerial images' topologies are the key feature to distinguish their categories, but they cannot be effectively encoded by a conventional visual codebook and 2) it is challenging to build a realtime image categorization system, as some geo-Aware Apps update over 20 aerial images per second. To solve these problems, we propose an efficient aerial image categorization algorithm. It focuses on learning a discriminative topological codebook of aerial images under a multitask learning framework. The pipeline can be summarized as follows. We first construct a region adjacency graph (RAG) that describes the topology of each aerial image. Naturally, aerial image categorization can be formulated as RAG-To-RAG matching. According to graph theory, RAG-To-RAG matching is conducted by enumeratively comparing all their respective graphlets (i.e., small subgraphs). To alleviate the high time consumption, we propose to learn a codebook containing topologies jointly discriminative to multiple categories. The learned topological codebook guides the extraction of the discriminative graphlets. Finally, these graphlets are integrated into an AdaBoost model for predicting aerial image categories. Experimental results show that our approach is competitive to several existing recognition models. Furthermore, over 24 aerial images are processed per second, demonstrating that our approach is ready for real-world applications. © 2013 IEEE.

Abstract: Spatial pyramid matching is a standard architecture for categorical image retrieval. However, its performance is largely limited by the prespecified rectangular spatial regions when pooling local descriptors. In this paper, we propose to learn object-shaped and directional receptive fields for image categorization. In particular, different objects in an image are seamlessly constructed by superpixels, while the direction captures human gaze shifting path. By generating a number of superpixels in each image, we construct graphlets to describe different objects. They function as the object-shaped receptive fields for image comparison. Due to the huge number of graphlets in an image, a saliency-guided graphlet selection algorithm is proposed. A manifold embedding algorithm encodes graphlets with the semantics of training image tags. Then, we derive a manifold propagation to calculate the postembedding graphlets by leveraging visual saliency maps. The sequentially propagated graphlets constitute a path that mimics human gaze shifting. Finally, we use the learned graphlet path as receptive fields for local image descriptor pooling. The local descriptors from similar receptive fields of pairwise images more significantly contribute to the final image kernel. Thorough experiments demonstrate the advantage of our approach. © 2012 IEEE.

Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) have now demonstrated state-of-the-art detection performance on pedestrian datasets. However, because of their high computational complexity, detection efficiency is still a frustrating problem even with the help of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). To improve detection efficiency, this paper proposes to share features across a group of DNNs that correspond to pedestrian models of different sizes. By sharing features, the computational burden for extracting features from an image pyramid can be significantly reduced. Simultaneously, we can detect pedestrians of several different scales on one single layer of an image pyramid. Furthermore, the improvement of detection efficiency is achieved with negligible loss of detection accuracy. Experimental results demonstrate the robustness and efficiency of the proposed algorithm. © 2015 The Authors.

Abstract: All-day star sensor makes it possible to observe stars in all-day time in the atmosphere. But the detecting performance is influenced by atmospheric turbulence. According to the characteristic of turbulence in long-exposure model, the modulation transfer function, point spread function and encircled power of the imaging system have been analyzed. Combined with typical star sensor optical system, the signal to noise ratio and the detectable stellar magnitude limit affected by turbulence have been calculated. The result shows the ratio of aperture diameter to atmospheric coherence length is main basis for the evaluation of the impact of turbulence. In condition of medium turbulence in day time, signal to noise ratio of the star sensor with diameter 120mm will drop about 4dB at most in typical work environment, and the detectable stellar limit will drop 1 magnitude. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: We study the spatiotemporal evolution of the electromagnetic field inside a microresonator showing an anomalous dispersion at the pump wavelength by using the normalized Lugiato-Lefever equation. Unlike the traditional single continuous wave (CW) pumping, an additional pump source consisting of periodical pulse train with variable repetition rate is adopted. The influences of the microresonator properties and the pump parameters on the field evolution and the electromagnetic field profile are analyzed. The simulation results indicate that, in the anomalous dispersion regime, both increases of the input pulse amplitude and the repetition frequency can result in the field profiles consisting of multiple peaks. A series of equidistant pulses can also be obtained by increasing the CW pump power. In addition, we find that a large physical detuning between the pump laser carrier and the cavity resonance frequency also causes the splitting of the inside field. © 2016 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract: SiC nanowires were synthesized by LPCVI using different catalysts, and the influences of input gas ratio (α) and catalysts were investigated. The average diameter firstly decreased and then increased with increasing α. Under Ni-based catalysis, SiC nanowires were long and thin, and increased with increasing concentration; under Fe-based catalysis, they were short and thick, and the influence of concentration could be neglected. The growth of SiC nanowires was controlled by vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth mechanism and the liquid-solid interface between nanowire and metal droplet was the growth plane. At same concentration, the diameter grown under Ni-based catalyst decreased with decreasing diameter of catalyst droplet, while under Fe-based catalyst, the diameters were not affected by catalyst droplet because of the high concentration. SiC nanowires were synthesized in 2D C/SiC composites and could enhance the mechanical properties effectively because of energy consuming from the fracture, pulled up and debond of SiC nanowires. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd (45 refs.)Main Heading: Phase interfacesControlled terms: Catalysis - Catalysts - Drops - Fracture - Liquids - Nanowires - Nickel - Silicon carbideUncontrolled terms: 2D C/SiC composites - Fe-based catalysts - Liquid-solid interfaces - Low pressure chemical vapor infiltration - Ni-based catalyst - SiC nanowire - Vapor liquid solids - Vapor-liquid-solid growth mechanism

Abstract: Polarization imaging technology is a method that acquires the object images by collecting the polarization information of the target radiation or reflected signals. In particular, compared with the light intensity detection, it has unique advantages in the artificial target detection and surface recognition. Due to the short range and low quality of the conventional polarization imaging in complex imaging environment, a new kind of polarization imaging technology based on compressed sensing was proposed. The basic principle of compressed sensing theory was elaborated. By constructing reasonable sampling matrix and reconstruction algorithm, the specific imaging system was designed. Besides, the feasibility of this technology was confirmed through the imaging experiment. The study results in the air show the system can reconstruct the polarization images of the pre-positioned target. Additionally, in the existing experimental conditions, some measures are investigated and proposed to improve the system imaging performance. © 2016, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

Abstract: Based on the X-rays pulsar-based source simulation produced by the ground experimental system, using the method of hardware epoch superposition, the pulse profile is obtained fast and stable. The algorithm of epoch superposition and data integration implemented by the field programmable gate arrays (FPGA) has been studied that is firstly achieved by using MATLAB then converted to hardware description language (HDL) by MATLAB HDL Coder. Secondly, the stream file of Bit can be obtained, configuring the hardware by the compiler. Finally, the hardware module can be practicable in the FPGA. The arrived time data of photons obtained by MATLAB algorithm has some errors with the data obtained after the treatment of the hardware modules; the maximum error is two photon numbers in the single time window, and the average error value accounts for 0.084 % of the average statistic value; the different data accounts for 9.481% of the total number of data in the two sets of statistical pulse profile data. Such errors do not affect the navigation of the subsequent navigation module. The hardware implementation and data integration epoch superposition modules get high processing speed, compact device and low power consumption, which provides viable data processing hardware technical support for spacecraft navigation using X-ray pulsars. © 2016, Press of Chinese Journal of Aeronautics.

Abstract: In order to solve the problem of the thermal effect of the laser gain media, a configuration named “immersed thin-disk oscillator” solid laser cooled directly with flow was proposed. Under the repeated pumping frequency of 10 Hz, a maximum output energy of 615mJ was realized. The optical-optical efficiency and the slope efficiency is 23% and 21% respectively. Based on the principle of fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, the thermal-flow-solid coupling model of lasing region was established. By using the software and the method of finite element analysis, the distribution characteristics of temperature field and velocity field were studied under the conditions of different flow rate and pump power. The wavefront aberration of the laser passing the gain region was simulated under the condition of liquid-cooled. The maximum optical path difference of the gain medium and coolant liquid are 0.7666λ and -4.7331λ respectively. The results show that the laser has a good thermal management performance. © 2016, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract: With high-resolution spatial information and continuous spectrum information, hyperspectral remote sensing image -has a unique advantage in the field of target detection. Traditional hyperspectral remote sensing image target detection methods emphasis on using spectral information to determine deterministic algorithm and statistical algorithms. Deterministic algorithms find the target by calculating the distance between the target spectrum and detected spectrum however, they are unable to detect sub-pixel target and are easily affected by noise. Statistical methods which calculate background statistical characteristics to detect abnormal point as target. It can detect subpixel target targets and small targets better thanbig size target,. With the spatial resolution increasing, subpixel target detection target has gradually grown to a single pixel and multi-pixel target. At this point, hyperspectral image usually has large homogeneous regions where the neighboring pixels wihin the regions consist of the same type of materials and have a similar spectral characteristics, therefore, the spatial information should be needed to incorporate into the algorithm for targe detection. This paper proposes an algorithm for hyperspectral target detection combined spectrum characteristics and spatial characteristics. The algorithm is based on traditional target detection operator and combined neighborhood clustering statistics. Firstly, the algorithm uses target detection operator to divided hyperspectral image into a potential target region and background region. Then, it calculates the centroid of the potential target area. Finally, as the centroid for neighborhood clustering center to clust data in order to exclud background from potential target area, through iterative calculation to obtain the final results of the target detection. The traditional statistics algorithms defines the total image as background area in order to extract background statistics features, and the algorithm propsed devided the total image into background part and potential target part, which cut off the target interference for background statistics feature extraction. Compared with CEM operators and ACE operators, the algorithm proposed outperforms than traditional operators in big target detection. © 2016, Peking University Press. All right reserved.

Abstract: Recent developments in quantum photonics have initiated the process of bringing photonic-quantumbased systems out-of-the-lab and into real-world applications. As an example, devices to enable the exchange of a cryptographic key secured by the laws of quantum mechanics are already commercially available. In order to further boost this process, the next step is to transfer the results achieved by means of bulky and expensive setups into miniaturized and affordable devices. Integrated quantum photonics is exactly addressing this issue. In this paper, we briefly review the most recent advancements in the generation of quantum states of light on-chip. In particular, we focus on optical microcavities, as they can offer a solution to the problem of low efficiency that is characteristic of the materials typically used in integrated platforms. In addition, we show that specifically designed microcavities can also offer further advantages, such as compatibility with telecom standards (for exploiting existing fibre networks) and quantum memories (necessary to extend the communication distance), as well as giving a longitudinal multimode character for larger information transfer and processing. This last property (i.e., the increased dimensionality of the photon quantum state) is achieved through the ability to generate multiple photon pairs on a frequency comb, corresponding to the microcavity resonances. Further achievements include the possibility of fully exploiting the polarization degree of freedom, even for integrated devices. These results pave the way for the generation of integrated quantum frequency combs that, in turn, may find important applications toward the realization of a compact quantum-computing platform. © 2016 Lucia Caspani et al., published by De Gruyter Open.

Abstract: Traditional machine learning and pattern recognition techniques are intimately linked to the notion of feature spaces. Adopting this view, each object is described in terms of a vector of numerical attributes and is, therefore, mapped to a point in a Euclidean (geometric) vector space, so that the distances between the points reflect the observed (dis)similarities between the respective objects. This kind of representation is attractive because geometric spaces offer powerful analytical as well as computational tools that are simply not available in other representations. Indeed, classical machine learning methods are tightly related to geometrical concepts, and numerous powerful tools have been developed during the last few decades, starting from the maximal likelihood method in the 1920s to perceptrons in the 1960s and, more recently, to kernel machines and deep learning architectures. © 2012 IEEE.

Abstract: Optical sampling based on ultrafast optical nonlinearities is a useful technique to monitor the waveforms of ultrashort optical pulses. In this paper, we present a new implementation of optical waveform sampling systems by employing our newly constructed free-running mode-locked fibre laser with a tunable repetition rate and a low timing jitter, an all-optical waveform sampler with a highly nonlinear fibre (HNLF), and our developed computer algorithm for optical waveform display and measurement, respectively. Using a femtosecond fibre laser to generate the highly stable optical sampling pulses and exploiting the four-wave mixing effect in a 100m-long HNLF, we successfully demonstrate the all-optical waveform sampling of a 10GHz optical clock pulse sequence with a pulse width of 1.8 ps and a 80Gbit/s optical data signal, respectively. The experimental results show that waveforms of the tested optical pulse signals are accurately reproduced with a pulse width of 2.0 ps. This corresponds to a temporal resolution of 0.87 ps for optical waveform measurement. Moreover, the optical eye diagram of a 10Gbit/s optical data signal with a 1.8 ps pulse width is also accurately measured by employing our developed optical sampling system. © 2016 by Walter de Gruyter Berlin/Boston.

Abstract: The transient response is of great influence on the electromagnetic compatibility of synchronous scanning streak cameras (SSSCs). In this paper we propose a numerical method to evaluate the transient response of the scanning deflection plate (SDP). First, we created a simplified circuit model for the SDP used in an SSSC, and then derived the Baum–Liu–Tesche (BLT) equation in the frequency domain. From the frequency-domain BLT equation, its transient counterpart was derived. These parameters, together with the transient-BLT equation, were used to compute the transient load voltage and load current, and then a novel numerical method to fulfill the continuity equation was used. Several numerical simulations were conducted to verify this proposed method. The computed results were then compared with transient responses obtained by a frequency-domain/fast Fourier transform (FFT) method, and the accordance was excellent for highly conducting cables. The benefit of deriving the BLT equation in the time domain is that it may be used with slight modifications to calculate the transient response and the error can be controlled by a computer program. The result showed that the transient voltage was up to 1000 V and the transient current was approximately 10 A, so some protective measures should be taken to improve the electromagnetic compatibility. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: Owing to space optical system working for a long time outside the field of view, where there is strong background radiation, and the fact that the point source transmittance (PST) is an important evaluation indicator for stray light suppression of this optical system, the development of stray light equipment for testing PST has received more and more attention. Though the development of PST testing system has been extensively studied, none of them elaborate on the calibration of the PST testing system. Besides, most of the PST testing systems are at a laboratory research stage, and the calibration of neither testing stability nor accuracy is recognized. Therefore, on the basis of the PST testing system established, one calibration lens is designed to calibrate the PST testing system. By comparing the measured PST values of the calibration lens with the analyzed values, the PST testing system can be evaluated. The calibration lens model is built to analyze PST values at different off-axis angles by using the ray tracing software Tracepro. We consider the accuracy of modeling, and on the basis of simplifying the structure design, we measure bidirectional reflectance distribution function values of the painted surface of the calibration lens, and then estimate values of lens surface fromHarvey-Shack model and PSD theory by taking these property data into the model of simulation. Ultimately PST analyzed values of calibration lens can be obtained. Finally, by comparing the measured values of calibration lens, which are tested by using PST testing system, with the analyzed values, the calibration of the PST testing system is completed. In the PST testing process of calibration lens, by analyzing the data at different off-axis angles, the accuracy of repeated measurements and threshold of PST testing system can be obtained. At the same time, testing errors caused by the stability of light source, detector linearity, air scattering and structure of double cylindrical chamber are analyzed through the testing data. The data show that when double cylindrical chamber clean class is ISO 7, the PST threshold of this equipment is 10-8, and the accuracy of repeated measurements is 7.9%. Taking into account the detection capability, the PST threshold of this equipment is 10-10when environmental condition is better than ISO 6. © 2016 Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract: Based on the 3rd vector wavefront aberration theory of axial symmetry optical system, the vector aberration expansions of off-axis optical system was obtained by pupil zoomed factorial and pupil decenter vector in this paper. It is known through the analysis that the off-axis optical system's aberration are still composed of 3rd spherical aberration 3rd coma and 3rd astigmatism. Due to the impact of pupil zoomed factorial, the decrease of the off-axis optical system's aberration coefficients were different proportion. The higher-order pupil aberration of coaxial system will induce low-order pupil aberration into off-axis mirror system. For example, if the coaxial system is not corrected for 3rd spherical aberration, it will introduce not only the spherical but also the constant coma and astigmatism into off-axis system. The aberration of off-axis system will not be asymmetry by the field center because the induced low-order aberration, and there maybe have an aberration zero point outside the center field of the view. © 2016, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

Abstract: We investigate the spatial orientation dependence of optical trapping forces and intrinsic torques exerted on spheroidal Rayleigh particles under irradiation of highly focused linearly and circularly polarized beams. It is revealed that the maximal trapping forces and torques strongly depend on the orientation of the spheroid, and the spheroidal particle is driven to be stably trapped at the beam focus with its major axis perpendicular to the optical axis. For a linearly polarized trapping beam, the optical torque is always perpendicular to the plane containing the major axis and the polarization direction of the incident beam. Therefore, the spheroid tends to rotate its major axis along with the polarization direction. However, for a circularly polarized trapping beam, the optical torque is always perpendicular to the plane containing the major axis and the optical axis. What is different from the linear polarization case is that the spheroid tends to have the major axis parallel to the projection of the major axis in the transverse plane. The optical torque in the circular polarization case is half of that in the linear polarization case. These optical trapping properties may be exploited in practical optical manipulation, especially for the nonspherical particle's trapping. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: Phase compensator is a key element in the polarized interferometer, whose stability has a directive influence on the reliability of the polarized interference spectroscopy. The specification of the phase compensator such as the relative sensitivity of optical path difference, the tilted error tolerance of optical wedge, the oblique incidence angle error tolerance and the temperature adaptability were studied, and the corresponding calculated formulas were derived. The anti-interference ability of the moving optical wedge is 2/Δnsinθ times stronger than the classical Michelson interferometer. The ability of the moving wedge to resist the inclination is 1.75/Δn times higher than classic Michelson interferometer. After light's incidence with small angle, there are no additional optical path. The greatest optical path distance error of the phase compensator is 1.8 μm when the temperature changes from -20℃ to 85℃, which has a good thermal stability. The angle of the wedge is also an important parameter to affect the phase compensator. If setting the angle of the wedge as 30°, a good balance between performance, size and cost may be achieved. The birefringence difference of crystal material is smaller than one, so the stability advantages of the polarized interferometer are very obvious which build up a good basis for its field application with complicated surroundings. © 2016, Science Press.

Abstract: High-power, high-efficiency 808 nm laser diode arrays for pumping solid-state lasers have been widely used in industrial, scientific, medical and biological applications. The tendency of development of 808 nm laser diode pumping with high power, high efficiency and long lifetime is well-known. Diode-pumped solid-state system with high-efficiency laser diode array has many advantages such as compact volume, lower weight and energy saving. Currently, commercial 808 nm diode laser arrays with lower power conversion efficiency of about 50%-55%, due to the optical absorption losses for GaAs-based epitaxial materials, have been reported. In order to reduce series resistance and thermal resistance, heavily doped p-type waveguide and cladding layers are employed. However, the absorption loss on the free carriers in heavily doped p-type layers is dominant, leading to a lower power conversion efficiency. In order to achieve a high efficiency, the following requirements must be considered: improving the internal quantum efficiency by reducing the carrier leakage and increasing the electron injection efficiency; minimizing the voltage drop by optimizing the operating voltage; reducing the series resistance and thermal resistance of device; minimizing the internal loss including free-carrier absorption loss and scattering loss by designing optimized waveguide and cladding structure. In this paper, optimizing the epitaxial structure and fabricating technologies are demonstrated to achieve the high efficiency and high power. The asymmetric broad waveguide epitaxial structure with lower absorption loss in p-type waveguide and cladding layer is designed in order to achieve the above goals. The high-efficiency epitaxial structure is optimized including the thickness, doping and composition for each layer structure. The strained quantum well diode laser with lower transparency current and higher differential is of benefit to achieving the high power. A novel asymmetric broad waveguide structure is designed by optimizing the waveguide thickness and component of p-waveguide so as to reduce carrier absorption loss, the optical absorption loss in this epitaxial structure is achieved to be as low as 0.63 cm-1. The wafer is grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on an n-GaAs substrate. The optimized growth conditions and substrates orientation are extensively studied to improve the crystal quality and reduce the internal loss and defects. The wafer is processed using standard procedures. For the fabricated 1-cm laser diode array mounted on P-side down on copper microchannel cooled heatsink, the device shows an output power of 150 W under an operating current of 135 A with an emitting wavelength of 809 nm, an operating voltage of 1.76 V, a slope efficiency of as high as 1.25 W/A, and maximum power conversion efficiency of as high as 65.5%, which is the highest level of 808 nm diode laser array with an output power of 150 W. © 2016 Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract: To improve the work performance of a 2-D mirror gimbal for the lunar-based telescope, the thermal-structural coupled analysis was carried out, and the analysis results were verified by thermal and onboard tests. According to the given input conditions, thermal loads and the thermal boundary, the finite element model was established to calculate the temperature fields of the mirror gimbal and main heating components. Through inputting the temperature loads, preloads and the boundary conditions into the finite element model, the thermal deformation and stress of the U-shape structure, precision moving shafting systems and the worm gears were obtained. Then, the expressions of friction moment were derived, and analytical data were used to the expressions to achieve the friction moment of shafting systems. On the basis of the friction moment, a proper moment motor was chosen. After calculation, the results show that the left shafting system has a larger friction moment at the low temperature condition of -25℃, and the maximal one is up to 14.163 N·mm; While the friction moment is smaller under high temperature condition 55℃, and the maximal one is 4.796 N·mm. The results also show friction moment of the azimuth shafting systems at a low temperature condition of -25℃ is 16.45 N·mm. Moreover, the vertical shaft system shows its friction moment to be 16.45 N·mm at the low temperature condition of -25℃, while it is zero at the high temperature condition because of shafting system unloading. The results indicate the reflection mirror gimbal works well between -25℃ to 55℃. Finally, the thermal and onboard tests were carried out to demonstrate the rationality and validity of the analysis results. © 2016, Science Press. All right reserved.

Abstract: A Yb/Ce codoped aluminosilicate fiber was successfully fabricated by the chelate gas phase deposition technique. Using the homemade fiber as the amplifier stage in a master oscillator power amplifier configuration laser setup, a near single mode laser output (M2= 1.55) with an output power of 1026 W and slope efficiency of 84.8% is obtained. In the 100 hour photodarkening experiment, the entire reduced power is less than 14 W, and the ratio, compared to the initial 1026 W output power, is less than 1.4%. The investigation of optical properties indicates that Yb/Ce codoped aluminosilicate fiber fabricated by the chelate gas phase deposition technique shows homogenous distribution, appropriate absorption coefficient, low background attenuation, high optical-to-optical efficiency and a rather low photodarkening loss, making it a promising candidate as an active fiber for a reliable and efficient fiber laser in high-power applications. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: Aim to high temporal resolution of the streak image tube in streak camera, the factors which influence the physical temporal dispersion, technical temporal dispersion and time jitter of the sweep circuit were discussed. The streak image tube was optimized, in which a pair of traveling wave deflectors was located before a magnetic solenoid lens. The inner time-varying electric field of traveling wave deflectors was simulated by CST electromagnetic studio. And the propagation velocity of electromagnetic wave was calculated. The results show that when leg length is 8 mm, leg width is 1mm, interval is 0.24 mm, pin length is 2.5 mm, deflector thickness is 1 mm and deflector length is 17.12 mm, the moving velocity of electrons and propagation velocity of the electromagnetic wave are matching. Based on the electron trajectory tracing method and the Rayleigh criterion, dynamic temporal and spatial characteristics of the streak image tube were analyzed, a dynamic temporal resolution of 200 fs in single sweep mode, dynamic temporal resolution of 208 fs in synchronized sweep mode, and a dynamic spatial resolution of above 20 lp/mm were obtained. © 2016, Science Press.

Abstract: A non-contact angle measurement method based on gyrorotor with periodical pattern surface is proposed. By using photoelectric sensors to detect the information from periodical pattern surface of gyrorotor, we can measure the deflection angle of gyrorotor in real time. The angle measurement principle and its device are introduced. By constructing three-dimensional geometrical models, the angle decoding algorithm of the angle measurement method is derived in detail, and the curves or the surfaces of the relationships between the gyrorotor's pattern surface information detected by photoelectric sensors and the angle deflections (calculated under the conditions that the gyrorotor is without deflection, with one-dimensional deflection and with two-dimensional deflection respectively) are obtained. The results show that the deflection angle and the deflection direction of gyrorotor can be measured by two photoelectric sensors in orthogonal directions, and the measurement values are unique and the measurement range of deflection angle is larger than 30°. This method can be used to measure angle deflection both in static and high-speed dynamic measurements. © 2016, Chinese Lasers Press. All right reserved.

Abstract: Based on the theoretical model of a microfiber double-knot resonator with a parallel structure, numerical simulations on the transmission spectrum, the phase, and the group time delay of the resonator as a function of wavelengths are given. We find that with this kind of resonator both slow light and fast light can be obtained at different resonant wavelengths. Experimentally, such a kind of microfiber resonator was fabricated successfully. The transmission spectrum of the fabricated resonator is well consistent with the theoretical simulation. A slow-light delay of about 38 ps and a fast-light advance of about 40 ps are demonstrated at different wavelengths, which might benefit the resonator to the applications in data delay lines, optical buffers, and optical memories. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: The structural models of micro-channel plate (MCP) and fluorescent screen of the framing camera were established. By combining the finite element integration and Monte Carlo method, software Simion and Lorenz were respectively used to simulate the effects of different voltages loaded on the fluorescent screen, different closed distance between fluorescent screen and MCP, and electrode immersion depth at MCP output on the spatial resolution, in order to obtain an axisymmetric distribution curve. Results showed that the closed distance between MCP and fluorescent screen had the largest impact on the framing camera's spatial resolution. In addition, higher fluorescent screen voltage did not necessarily result in better spatial resolution, as it was influenced by the light-emitting mechanism of the fluorescent screen. At the framing camera's current closed distance of 0.8mm, a fluorescent screen voltage of 5000V could achieve the best spatial resolution. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Multi-scale retinex is a luminance perceptual algorithm. It is widely used in image enhancement. To get best effect, the parameters need be adjusted according to the scene manually. In order to handle this issue, a novel retinex algorithm based on real-coded genetic algorithm and human visual system was proposed in this paper. The result was quantified and selected by a novel human visual system based comprehensive fitness function. The employed fitness function operates adaptively and tends to provide outstanding comprehensive results in both image clarity and color quality. Images captured in low-light conditions were processed by proposed method. The result indicates that the new algorithm can improve image brightness and avoid color distortion at the same time. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: A Φ600mm SiC primary mirror subsystem of a space-borne Ritchey-Chretien telescope was designed. The open-back primary mirror was made of pressure-less sintering silicon carbide (SiC), light-weighted at a ratio of approximately 70%. Minimizing the optical surface astigmatism was critical for the mirror, the astigmatism is caused mainly by gravity effects, temperature variation and the bonding process. Three invar flexure bipods were fixed on the baseplate of the telescope at first, and the posture of the primary mirror was adjusted precisely for 0.2mm gap to the bipods. 3M 2216 B/A grey adhesive was then injected into the gap between the mirror and bipod flexure, the curing process was last 72 hours in the room temperature. So the mirror was affected only by curing stress of the adhesive during the assembly process. Structural strength and dynamic stiffness of the mirror subsystem in the thermal-structural coupling state were analyzed with finite element method. Analyzed results show that the optical surface distortion is less than 1/50 at 632.8nm RMS with three points support and less than 1/200λ RMS with 2°C temperature variation because of the flexure support and compatible support and mirror material, The optical performance test with interferometer show that the optical surface distortion caused by the curing stress of the adhesive is less than 1/50λRMS, the overall optical surface of the primary mirror is less than 1/30λ rms, which met the critical requirements for the primary mirror of the telescope. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: The increased sensitivity of space-based sensors has imposed greater stray light performance goals on telescope design. To meet the demand, a stray light test station for measuring point source transmission (PST) has been built with a lower threshold and higher accuracy. The station is nearly all black with dimensions of 28m long by 8m wide by 9m high. it is coupled with a double cylindrical chamber that reflects the specular light away from the instrument under test. The chamber is a Class 6 cleanroom. The station will allow measuring the instruments with up to a 1 meters diameter, and to perform these measurements at visible and infrared wavelengths. The instrument under test will allow to scan at azimuth angles ±110°, and at elevation ±15°. The tests were performed to estimate stray light characteristics of two optical instruments. Test results demonstrated PST performance below 1×10-7at visible wavelengths, and 1×10-6at infrared wavelengths. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Fine-grained image categorization is a challenging task aiming at distinguishing objects belonging to the same basiclevel category, e.g., leaf or mushroom. It is a useful technique that can be applied for species recognition, face verification, and so on. Most of the existing methods either have difficulties to detect discriminative object components automatically, or suffer from the limited amount of training data in each sub-category. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a new fine-grained image categorization model. The key is a dense graph mining algorithm that hierarchically localizes discriminative object parts in each image. More specifically, to mimic the human hierarchical perception mechanism, a superpixel pyramid is generated for each image. Thereby, graphlets from each layer are constructed to seamlessly capture object components. Intuitively, graphlets representative to each super-/sub-category is densely distributed in their feature space. Thus, a dense graph mining algorithm is developed to discover graphlets representative to each super-/ sub-category. Finally, the discovered graphlets from pairwise images are integrated into an image kernel for fine-grained recognition. Theoretically, the learned kernel can generalize several state-of-the-art image kernels. Experiments on nine image sets demonstrate the advantage of our method. Moreover, the discovered graphlets from each sub-category accurately capture those tiny discriminative object components, e.g., bird claws, heads, and bodies. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: Subpixel hyperspectral detection is a kind of method which tries to locate targets in a hyperspectral image when the spectrum of the targets is given. Due to its subpixel nature, targets are often smaller than one pixel, which increases the difficulty of detection. Many algorithms have been proposed to tackle this problem, most of which model the noise in all spatial points of hyperspectral image by multivariate normal distribution. However, this model alone may not be an appropriate description of the noise distribution in hyperspectral image. After carefully studying the distribution of hyperspectral image, it is concluded that the gradient of noise also obeys normal distribution. In this paper two detectors are proposed: mixture gradient structured detector (MGSD) and mixture gradient unstructured detector (MGUD). These detectors are based on a new model which takes advantage of the distribution of the gradient of the noise. This makes the detectors more accordant with the practical situation. To evaluate the performance of the proposed detectors, three different data sets, including one synthesized data set and two real-world data sets, are used in the experiments. Results show that the proposed detectors have better performance than current subpixel detectors. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: In recent years, multimedia retrieval has sparked much research interest in the multimedia, pattern recognition, and data mining communities. Although some attempts have been made along this direction, performing fast multimodal search at very large scale still remains a major challenge in the area. While hashing-based methods have recently achieved promising successes in speeding-up large-scale similarity search, most existing methods are only designed for uni-modal data, making them unsuitable for multimodal multimedia retrieval. In this paper, we propose a new hashing-based method for fast multimodal multimedia retrieval. The method is based on spectral analysis of the correlation matrix of different modalities. We also develop an efficient algorithm that learns some parameters from the data distribution for obtaining the binary codes. We empirically compare our method with some state-of-the-art methods on two real-world multimedia data sets. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a novel segmentation approach for stereo images using the high-order energy optimization, which utilizes the disparity maps and statistical information of stereo images to enrich the high-order potential functions. To the best of our knowledge, our approach is the first one to formulate the problem of stereo segmentation as a high-order energy optimization problem, which simultaneously segments the foreground objects in left and right images using the proposed high-order potential function. A new method for designing the penalty function in our high-order term is proposed by the corresponding pixels and their neighboring pixels between left and right images. The relationships of stereo correspondence by disparity maps are further employed to enhance the connections between the left and right stereo images. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can effectively improve the performance of two kinds of stereo segmentation, including the automatic saliency-aware stereocut and the interactive stereo segmentation with user scribbles. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: Terahertz (THz) wavelength division demultiplexer based on a compact defects-coupled photonic crystal waveguide is proposed and demonstrated numerically. This device consists of an input waveguide that perpendicularly coupled with a series of defects cavities, each of which captures the resonance frequency from the input waveguide. Coupled-mode theory and finite element method are used to analyze the transmission properties of the structure. It is found that the transmission wavelength centered around 1 THz can be adjusted by changing the geometrical parameters of defects cavities, which equals to THz waves generated by optical methods such as difference frequency generation and optical rectification. Applications in this frequency range are urgently needed. Furthermore, the highest transmission efficiency of 0.94 can be achieved when a perfect wavelength-selective mirror is set in the output waveguide. © 2015 Taylor & Francis.

Abstract: Return signal processing and reconstruction plays a pivotal role in coherent field imaging, having a significant influence on the quality of the reconstructed image. To reduce the required samples and accelerate the sampling process, we propose a genuine sparse reconstruction scheme based on compressed sensing theory. By analyzing the sparsity of the received signal in the Fourier spectrum domain, we accomplish an effective random projection and then reconstruct the return signal from as little as 10% of traditional samples, finally acquiring the target image precisely. The results of the numerical simulations and practical experiments verify the correctness of the proposed method, providing an efficient processing approach for imaging fast-moving targets in the future. © 2016 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract: We present a new high-efficiency divided chirp-pulse amplification (DCPA) system based on an actively controlled quasi-all-fiber structure. As a proof-of-principle experiment, a two-channel amplification system composed of single-mode ytterbium-doped fiber is constructed. The experimental results show that the degree of linear polarization of ∼93% is maintained after recombination and the system efficiency is up to ∼95%. In addition, the beam quality (M2factor) is around 1.2. Moreover, the system can operate stably for a long time without performance degradation. Compared with the traditional spatial DCPA, this system exhibits some advantages, such as improved spatial adjustment, high stability, compact size, and low cost. It is demonstrated that this work paves the way to design a quasi-all-fiber high-performance pulsed laser system. © 2009-2012 IEEE.

Abstract: A method of removing reflected highlight is proposed on polarimetric imaging. Polarization images (0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°) and the reflection angle are required in this reflected light removal algorithm. This method is based on the physical model of reflection and refraction, and no additional image processing algorithm is necessary in this algorithm. Compared to traditional polarization method with single polarizer, restricted observation angle of Brewster is not demanded and multiple reflection areas of different polarization orientations can be removed simultaneously. Experimental results, respectively, demonstrate the features of this reflected light removal algorithm, and it can be considered very suitable in polarization remote sensing. © 2016 Fanchao Yang et al.

Abstract: In this work, the conduction mechanism of avalanche transistors was demonstrated and the operation condition for generating high-speed pulse using avalanche transistors was illustrated. Based on the above analysis, a high-speed and high-voltage pulse (HHP) generating circuit using avalanche transistors was designed, and its working principle and process were studied. To improve the speed of the output pulse, an approach of reducing the rise time of the leading edge is proposed. Methods for selecting avalanche transistor and reducing the parasitic inductance and capacitance of printed circuit board (PCB) were demonstrated. With these instructions, a PCB with a tapered transmission line was carefully designed and manufactured. Output pulse with amplitude of 2 kV and rise time of about 200 ps was realized with this PCB mounted with avalanche transistors FMMT417, indicating the effectiveness of the HHP generating circuit design. © 2016 Author(s).

Abstract: In order to evaluate the far-field beam quality of 10 kJ-level laser facility with different off-axis wedged focus lens, by utilizing the methods of the sampling of weak light beams and amplification imaging of splitting beams, the focal spot data of 3ω laser was collected by two 16-bit scientific-grade CCD cameras in the paths of main lobe and side lobe under the conditions of that the lateral magnification coefficient is the same but the intensity attenuation coefficient is different. One CCD obtained main lobe of far-field image, the other acquired its side lobe. The far-field focal spot was reconstructed based on the mathematical model of schlieren method, and the dynamic range is 1 151.7∶1.

Abstract: The existing neural networks suffer from partial observation while modeling and controlling dynamic systems. In this paper, a new linearized recurrent neural network, the Taylor expanded echo state network (TESN), is proposed for predictive control of partially observed dynamic systems. Two schemes of regularization, ridge regression and sparse regression, are imposed on TESNs to tackle the issue of ill-conditioned estimation. Furthermore, two estimators, lasso and elastic net, are investigated for sparse regression. Regularized learning is found to improve the estimation consistency of readout coefficients and, at the same time, suppress the accumulation of linearization residues in a prediction horizon. A series of experiments was carried out, and the results verified that regularized learning is contributive to TESNs in predictive control of partially observed dynamic systems. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: Schlieren photography is a visual process to display the flow of fluids of varying density. It is widely used in wind tunnel tests to photograph the flow of air around objects. To achieve schlieren images with high sensitivity and high resolution, and satisfy the requirements of the large-scale wind tunnel tests, it is urgent to develop schlieren photographers with large aperture primary mirrors. However, the application of large aperture primary mirrors may bring many challenges in the design of the schlieren system. First, the surface figure of large aperture primary mirrors is difficult to control so that the support structure may need more strategical design. Second, because the schlieren system works under some severe environments of the wind tunnel test including the air disturbance, wind-induced ground vibration and high ambient pressure, it has to withstand serious instability risks to ensure a good schlieren image quality. In this work, the current status of the development in the large aperture schlieren systems is reviewed. Several advanced methods, for example, active damping control technique, focal spot monitoring technique, 18-points whilffletree support technique, etc., are introduced to deal with the challenges of the large aperture schlieren system. This work aims at improving the technical development of large aperture schlieren photographer, which may contribute to the acquisition of the high sensitive and high resolution schlieren images and the improvement of the testing capability in wind tunnel experiments. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: We present a novel technique for 3D object hiding by applying three-dimensional ptychography. Compared with 3D information hiding based on holography, the proposed ptychography-based hiding technique is easier to implement, because the reference beam and high-precision interferometric optical setup are not required. The acquisition of the 3D object and the ptychographic encoding process are performed optically. Owing to the introduction of probe keys, the security of the ptychography-based hiding system is significantly enhanced. A series of experiments and simulations demonstrate the feasibility and imperceptibility of the proposed method. © 2016 IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract: The structure flexibility caused by lightweight design of inertial navigation system (INS) will generate a non-negligible influence on the vibration response of INS. Aiming at a certain lightweight inertial navigation structure, the dynamic model of the INS is established through adopting the substructure synthesis method based on frequency response functions. Subsequently, the influence of IMU flexibility on the INS is analyzed using this model. In addition, a parameter optimization design method of the vibration absorbing system is proposed. Through the optimization of the vibration absorber, the angular displacement of the INS decreases obviously, and the vibration coupling is suppressed effectively. Finally, the accuracy of the proposed optimization method is verified by vibration experiment, and it is also found that the heading and attitude measurement precision of the INS in the vibration process is improved after the optimization of the vibration absorber parameters. © 2016, Science Press.

Abstract: Transmission volume phase holographic gratings were fabricated in bulk photothermo- refractive glass using zero-order femtosecond laser Bessel beams and subsequent thermal treatment. Microstructures composed of nano-sized crystals were observed in the exposed regions. The concentration of nano-crystals depended on the writing power, but the size of the nano-crystals was found to be quasi power-independent. Low writing power led to sparse nano-crystals, while optimized writing power achieved dense nano-crystals distribution and high refractive index change. Effects of the gratings thickness, writing laser power and thermal treatment on the diffraction efficiency were investigated. A maximum diffraction efficiency of 94.73% was achieved (at 532 nm testing wavelength) with 1 mm grating thickness at period of 5 μm. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: To achieve azimuth and height measurement of a slowly moving point in a certain distance and wide field of view, a combined long-focal-length cylindrical lens measurement system was built. A point shape reticle, a long-focal-length optical system formed by a Galileo telescope combined with cylindrical lens and two orthogonal linear array CCD were utilized. There isn't a real middle image plane in the combined long-focal-length optical system with a relatively short optical length. The front part of the system is a Galileo telescope, and its focal power is approximate to 0. Within a measurement range, some parameters, such as the value of the angular magnification and diameter of the front part, should be properly selected, making the linear image from different field orthogonal to the two linear CCD. Through targeted lens system design optimization, proper selection of merit function, and tolerance analysis of the alignment and measurement principle, the acurracy of azimuth measurement of this system is less than ±2.5″, within field of view of 1.5°×1.5°, at the measurement distance of 10 m, additionally with relatiely small system length, and relatively loose tolerance. The proposed system can solve the problem of the limited size of light source cooperation target, making a low cost and large size photo-electronic detector. © 2016, Science Press.

Abstract: In this paper, we address the problem of unsupervised domain transfer learning in which no labels are available in the target domain. We use a transformation matrix to transfer both the source and target data to a common subspace, where each target sample can be represented by a combination of source samples such that the samples from different domains can be well interlaced. In this way, the discrepancy of the source and target domains is reduced. By imposing joint low-rank and sparse constraints on the reconstruction coefficient matrix, the global and local structures of data can be preserved. To enlarge the margins between different classes as much as possible and provide more freedom to diminish the discrepancy, a flexible linear classifier (projection) is obtained by learning a non-negative label relaxation matrix that allows the strict binary label matrix to relax into a slack variable matrix. Our method can avoid a potentially negative transfer by using a sparse matrix to model the noise and, thus, is more robust to different types of noise. We formulate our problem as a constrained low-rankness and sparsity minimization problem and solve it by the inexact augmented Lagrange multiplier method. Extensive experiments on various visual domain adaptation tasks show the superiority of the proposed method over the state-of-the art methods. The MATLAB code of our method will be publicly available at http://www.yongxu.org/lunwen.html. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: Computer-generated hologram (CGH) is an effective way to compensate wavefront aberration in null test of aspheric surfaces and freeform surfaces. Our strategies of CGH design for 600mm diameter SiC primary mirror surface figure testing are presented, and an experiment demonstrating the compensation test results of CGH is reported. We design a CGH including two sections on the same substrate in order to align the CGH to the incident wavefront: main section for compensating wavefront in null test, alignment section for adjusting the relative position between CGH and interferometer. In order to isolate different orders of diffraction, we used power carrier to make different orders of diffraction come to focus at different position along the axis to avoid ghost reflections. We measured the 600mm diameter SiC primary mirror using this CGH, and the surface test result is 0.033 rms. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Haze always exists in hyper-spectral remote sensing imagery, and it is a key reason that influences the effective information extraction of hyper-spectral images. Specially, when the faint haze covers part of the target in remote sensing images, the target still can be detected but not clear. So, how to remove the influence of the haze and improve the applicable efficiency of hyper-spectral images is a popular research point. This paper proposes a dehazing method for hyper-spectral images based on linear unmixing. First, a popular hyper-spectral unmixing method called FUN is used to get the signature of all the end-members and their corresponding abundance. And then, the abundance of the haze end-member is removed and the abundances of the rest end-members are adjusted to satisfy the sum-To-one and non-negative constraint. Lastly, the new abundance and the signature of the end-members are linearly mixed to get the dehazed hyper-spectral images. The experiment result shows that the dehazed hyper-spectral images exhibit better target information and details. The method is effective and available. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: In the present paper we propose nonlinear femtosecond x-ray pump-probe spectroscopy to study the vibrational dynamics of a core-excited molecular state and discuss numerical results in CO. A femtosecond pump resonantly excites the carbon core-excited 1s-1π∗ state of the CO molecule. A second strong probe (control) pulse is applied at variable delay and is resonantly coupled to a valence excited state of the molecule. The strong nonlinear coupling of the control pulse induces Rabi flopping between the two electronic states. During this process, a vibrational wave packet in the core-excited state is created, which can be effectively manipulated by changing the time delay between pump and control pulses. We present an analysis of the resonant Auger electron spectrum and the transient absorption or emission spectrum on the pump transition and discuss their information content for reconstruction of the vibrational wave packet. © 2016 American Physical Society.

Abstract: Highly photo-excited layer thickness in GaAs is measured using a pump probe arrangement. A normally incident pump illumination spatially modulated by a mask will induce a corresponding refractive index change distribution in the depth direction due to edge scattering and attenuation absorption effect, which can deflect the probe beam passing through this excited region. Maximum deflection of the probe beam will be limited by the thickness of excited layer, and thus can also be employed to measure the thickness of the photo-excited layer of the material.

Abstract: In order to realize real-Time signal identification and processing of spatial transient light, the features and the energy of the captured target light signal are first described and quantitatively calculated. Considering that the transient light signal has random occurrence, a short duration and an evident beginning and ending, a photodiode detector based spatial transient light detection and processing system is proposed and designed in this paper. This system has a large field of view and is used to realize non-imaging energy detection of random, transient and weak point target under complex background of spatial environment. Weak signal extraction under strong background is difficult. In this paper, considering that the background signal changes slowly and the target signal changes quickly, filter is adopted for signal's background subtraction. A variable speed sampling is realized by the way of sampling data points with a gradually increased interval. The two dilemmas that real-Time processing of large amount of data and power consumption required by the large amount of data needed to be stored are solved. The test results with self-made simulative signal demonstrate the effectiveness of the design scheme. The practical system could be operated reliably. The detection and processing of the target signal under the strong sunlight background was realized. The results indicate that the system can realize real-Time detection of target signal's characteristic waveform and monitor the system working parameters. The prototype design could be used in a variety of engineering applications. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Hyperspectral image (HSI), which is widely known that contains much richer information in spectral domain, has attracted increasing attention in various fields. In practice, however, since a hyperspectral image itself contains large amount of redundant information in both spatial domain and spectral domain, the accuracy and efficiency of data analysis is often decreased. Various attempts have been made to solve this problem by image compression method. Many conventional compression methods can effectively remove the spatial redundancy but ignore the great amount of redundancy exist in spectral domain. In this paper, we propose a novel compression algorithm via patch-based low-rank tensor decomposition (PLTD). In this framework, the HSI is divided into local third-order tensor patches. Then, similar tensor patches are grouped together and to construct a fourth-order tensor. And each cluster can be decomposed into smaller coefficient tensor and dictionary matrices by low-rank decomposition. In this way, the redundancy in both the spatial and spectral domains can be effectively removed. Extensive experimental results on various public HSI datasets demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the traditional image compression approaches. © Springer International Publishing AG 2016.

Abstract: Quasi-phase-matched (QPM) wavelength converters are highly desirable for emerging nonlinear optics applications in photonic integrated circuits, but available waveguide and quasi-phase-matching technologies have so far constrained their realization. In this work, we present a periodically poled lithium niobate (LN) waveguide on a silicon nitride-thin film LN platform. It contains a submicrometer waveguide core for enhancing nonlinear interactions that is more than one order of magnitude smaller than those of previous QPM waveguides. Periodic poling was applied directly to the thin film LN for quasi-phase-matching by a new surface poling technology. We demonstrated 160% W-1· cm-2normalized efficiency for second harmonic generation at 1530 nm with ultralow propagation loss (0.3 dB/cm) in the telecom band. This highly efficient and compact wavelength converter has the potential for straightforward integration with various photonic platforms, e.g., on-chip microsystems such as optical communication networks, quantum storage, and optical frequency referencing. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: Rapid growth of social media resources brings huge challenges and opportunities for image description technologies. The performance of image description method directly affects the accuracy of image retrieval, image annotation and image recognition. Bag of Words (BoW) as an efficient approach to describing the images has been attracting more and more attention. However, in traditional BoW, the maps between the words in the codebook and the features extracted from the images are actually ambiguous. As the Fuzzy Sets Theory (FST) is a powerful means for dealing with uncertainty efficiently, we utilize the FST to solve the problem caused by the ambiguity between the features and words. Accordingly, we propose a new type of BoW named as FBoW to describe images based on FST. Firstly, the features are extracted from the images. Secondly, k-means is utilized to learn the codebook. Thirdly, a fuzzy membership function is designed to measure the similarity between the features and words. The optimal parameters of the fuzzy membership function are obtained by using a Genetic Algorithm (GA). The histogram is generated by adding up the fuzzy membership values of each word to describe the images. The experimental results show that the proposed FBoW outperforms traditional BoW for social image description. © 2014, Springer Science+Business Media New York.

Abstract: Assessing aesthetic appeal of images is a highly subjective task which has attracted a lot of interests recently. It is an interdisciplinary subject related to art, psychology, and computer vision. In this paper, we systematically study prior researches of feature extraction in this area, and category them into four groups, low level, rule based, information theory, and visual attention. In each group, the effectiveness and limitations of existing features are examined. Based on the analysis, we propose a comprehensive feature set, which include 16 novel features and 70 well proved features. With this feature set, we build the system under machine learning scheme consisting of an SVM based classifier to estimate if an image is high aesthetic or low aesthetic. The experiments are conducted on public datasets show that our comprehensive feature set outperforms conventional models that concentrate mainly on certain types of features. The combination of our features produces a promising classification accuracy of 82.4% and a good performance comparable to aesthetic rating of human. Finally, we implemented the proposed evaluation system on mobile devices. It can provide real-time feedback to help users capture appealing photos. © 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. © 2015, Springer Science+Business Media New York.

Abstract: Compressive sensing theory states that signals can be sampled at a much smaller rate than that required by the Nyquist sampling theorem, because the sampling of a signal in the former is performed as a relatively small number of its linear measurements. Thus, the design of a measurement matrix is important in compressive sensing framework. A random measurement matrix optimization method is proposed in this study based on the incoherence principle of compressive sensing, which requires the mutual coherence of information operator to be small. The columns with mutual coherence are orthogonalized iteratively to decrease the mutual coherence of the information operator. The orthogonalization is realized by replacing the columns with the orthogonal matrix (Formula presented.) of their QR factorization. An information operator with smaller mutual coherence is acquired after the optimization, leading to an improved measurement matrix in terms of its relationship with the information operator. Results of several experiments show that the improved measurement matrix can reduce its mutual coherence with dictionaries compared with the random measurement matrix. The signal reconstruction error also decreases when the optimized measurement matrix is utilized. © 2015, Springer Science+Business Media New York.

Abstract: A mathematical model known as one-order one-variable grey differential equation model GM(1, 1) has been herein employed successfully for the ultra short-term (<10days) predictions of universal time (UT1-UTC). The results of predictions are analyzed and compared with those obtained by other methods. It is shown that the accuracy of the predictions is comparable with that obtained by other prediction methods. The proposed method is able to yield an exact prediction even though only a few observations are provided. Hence it is very valuable in the case of a small size dataset since traditional methods, e.g., least-squares (LS) extrapolation, require longer data span to make a good forecast. In addition, these results can be obtained without making any assumption about an original dataset, and thus is of high reliability. Another advantage is that the developed method is easy to use. All these reveal a great potential of the GM(1, 1) model for UT1-UTC predictions. © 2016 Artificial Satellites.

Abstract: Scannerless (flash) lidar system based on streak camera is able to realize three-dimensional (3D) multi-spectral fluorescence imaging and 3D imaging polarimetry. Compared with conventional lidar system, the flash lidar system overcomes image distortions caused by the motion between the target and the sensor platform. Other advantages of the flash lidar system are higher image update rates and the potential for creating a miniaturized lidar system. To meet the requirements for developing this new technology, a super small-sized, large photocathode area and meshless streak tube with spherical cathode and screen is designed with the aid of computer simulation technology (CST) software. The tube with nearly 28 mm wide photocathode work area contains two electrostatic focusing lens, a pair of deflection plates, and a 50 mm diameter output screen. The external dimension of the tube is merely 50 mm×100 mm. And its electromagnetic fields are calculated in the CST Particle Studio based on the finite integration theory. Some dynamic properties of the tube are analyzed via observing different electron trajectories launched from a number of different points on the cathode. The influences of the deflector position on deflection sensitivity and spatial resolution are analyzed. Increasing the distance between the deflector and the anode pin hole leads to a worse deflection sensitivity but a better spatial resolution. As for the temporal resolution, three electron pulses separated by 30 ps can be well resolved by the streak tube in the dynamic mode. Thus, the dynamic temporal resolution of the streak tube is better than 30 ps. And a 10 lp/mm spatial resolution across the 28 mm long slit on the photocathode can be obtained by estimating modulation transfer functions of the electron trajectories. Temporal distortions at the entire photocathode working area are evaluated, and the data reveal that the larger the photocathode working area, the bigger the temporal distortions are. Also, the temporal distortion is present mainly in the photocathode-to-deflection plates region. In addition, the slit image of the streak tube working in the dynamic mode is simulated and presented. The phenomenon that the slit image is curved due to the temporal distortion is analyzed. Two rectangular electron pulses separated by 50 ps are well resolved by the streak tube. Therefore, the temporal resolution of this small-size steak tube is better than 50 ps with a rectangular slit dimension of 30 mm×50 μm on the photocathode, and its electron-optic magnification is 1.2. © 2016 Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract: In order to meet the testing requirement of indoor optical target with large detection area, two patterns of lens-light-screen's engineering realization method are studied, of which one is sector lens-light-screen, and the other is rectangle lens-light-screen. The working principle of each kind of lens-light-screen is analyzed. The luminous flux may be changed when a flying projectile goes through the lens-light-screen in different position, of which the corresponding formulas are deduced based on the photometry principle. The sensitivity distribution regularity of each kind of lens-light-screen is simulated using Matlab. It is verified by the firing tests of air gun bullets. The results show that the signal amplitude of the projectile collected by an oscilloscope is in conformity with the sensitivity simulation results, which provides a reference for the engineering design of the optical targets with lager detection area. © 2016, China Ordnance Society.

Abstract: We report an in-fiber integrated electrophoretic trace mixture separating and detecting an optofluidic optical fiber sensor based on a specially designed optical fiber. In this design, rapid in situ separation and simultaneous detection of mixed analytes can be realized under electro-osmotic flow in the microstructured optical fiber. To visually display the in-fiber separating and detecting process, two common fluorescent indicators are adopted as the optofluidic analytes in the optical fiber. Results show that a trace amount of the mixture (0.15 μL) can be completely separated within 3.5 min under a high voltage of 5 kV. Simultaneously, the distributed information of the separated analytes in the optical fiber can be clearly obtained by scanning along the optical fiber using a 355 nm laser. The emission from the analytes can be efficiently coupled into the inner core and guides to the remote end of the optical fiber. In addition, the thin cladding around the inner core in the optical fiber can prevent the fluorescent cross talk between the analytes in this design. Compared to previous optical fiber optofluidic devices, this device first realizes simultaneously separating treatment and the detection of the mixed samples in an optical fiber. Significantly, such an in-fiber integrated separating and detecting optofluidic device can find wide applications in various analysis fields involves mixed samples, such as biology, chemistry, and environment. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: We use a vector phase sensitive amplification (PSA) scheme, which can eliminate the inherent phase noise (PN) to amplitude noise (AN) conversion in a conventional PSA process. A dispersion-engineered silicon strip waveguide is used to investigate the vector PSA scheme at the telecom wavelengths. The phase-dependent gain and phase-tophase transfer functions as well as constellation diagram at different signal polarization states (SPSs) are numerically analyzed. It is found that the PN to AN conversion is completely suppressed when the SPS is identical to one of the pump polarization states. Moreover, the binary phase shift keying signal is regenerated by the proposed vector PSA scheme, and the error vector magnitude is calculated to assess the regeneration capacity. Our results have potential application in all-optical signal processing. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: A novel superpixel extraction algorithm using a higher order energy optimization framework is proposed in this paper. We first adopt the k-means clustering technique to quickly get an initial superpixel result. Then a higher order energy function is employed to optimize and refine these initial superpixels. We use a more general higher order energy function that includes a first-order data term, a second-order smoothness term, and a higher order term. The presegments are employed to provide the prior information of sufficient edges and segment regions for our higher order energy term. According to the texture measurement in different local regions, our algorithm adaptively computes the proper ratios of different energy terms to obtain a better superpixel performance. The experimental results demonstrate that our method using the higher order energy generates better results with well-aligned boundaries and homogeneous effects than the existing superpixel algorithms. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: A high accuracy measuring device and corresponding measuring method for three-dimensional attitude angles (yaw, pitch and roll) were designed based on an autocollimator and a coordinate rotary transfer matrix. The working principle and structural composition were introduced. A three-dimensional attitude angle measuring model was established and the theory algorithm by coordinate rotation matrix was derived based on the principle of autocollimation angle measurement. Then, the optical system was designed according to the demand of the measurement system. A single Field Programming Gate Array (FPGA) was used to implement double CMOS image sensor imaging, spot identifying, subdivision positioning, three-dimensional attitude angle calculation and rapid communication with a USB. To ensure the unity of the actual equipment parameter and design data, a high precision calibration method was researched for the three-dimensional attitude angle measuring device. Finally, three-dimensional attitude angles were tested to verify this measuring device, and the degrees and the factors affecting the angle measuring accuracy were analyzed as well. Calibration and experiment measurement results indicate that the measuring precisions of the yaw, pitch and roll angles for the measuring device are 2.2″, 2.5″ and 7.8″ respectively in view field of ±20'. It shows that the three-dimensional attitude angle measuring device has higher precision, simpler structure as well as stronger stabilization, and can be widely applied to engineering practices. © 2016, Science Press.

Abstract: Planar waveguides in magneto-optical glasses (Tb3+-doped aluminum borosilicate glasses) have been produced by a 550-keV proton implantation at a dose of 4.0×1016ions/cm2for the first time to our knowledge. After annealing at 260 °C for 1.0 h, the dark-mode spectra and near-field intensity distributions are measured by the prism-coupling and end-face coupling methods. The damage profile, refractive index distribution and light propagation mode of the planar waveguide are numerically calculated by SRIM 2010, RCM and FD-BPM, respectively. The effects of implantation on the structural and optical properties are investigated by Raman and absorption spectra. It suggests that the proton-implanted Tb3+-doped aluminum borosilicate glass waveguide is a good candidate for a waveguide isolator in optical fiber communication and all-optical communication. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved.

Abstract: A ytterbium-doped double-cladding fiber was successfully fabricated by a chelate gas phase deposited technique. The measurement results of dopant concentration distribution and refractive index of preform indicate that radial and longitudinal homogeneity could be controlled perfectly with this technique. The absorption coefficients of fiber are 0.39 dB/m at 915nm and 1.02 dB/m at 976nm respectively. Using this fiber as the laser amplifier stage, 3592W output power at 1080nm with 72.5% slope efficiency was obtained with end-pump technique, which is close to the test results of Nufern commercial fiber.

Abstract: The penetration of solar energy continues to rise and becomes a central piece of the global energy mix. Thus, considering ways for more efficiently operated power systems to accommodate significant amounts of such a variable resource will be increasingly important. Improvements in solar forecasting methods and techniques will clearly be relevant. In addition to season and irradiation angle, the most important factor of influencing solar energy output is the effect of cloud movement on solar irradiation shadow on solar plate. This paper briefly analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of various moving target algorithms, and compares the typical feature matching algorithm (block motion estimation algorithm) and optical flow algorithm (CLG algorithm) against the collected cloud movement image sequence. The result shows that optical flow algorithm (CLG algorithm) is applied to cloud movement image. The calculation is very fast, with an accuracy above 96%. A comparison with CLG algorithm shows that direction and speed accuracy of block motion estimation algorithm based on hexagonal search pattern is 0.79 and 0.47, respectively. © 2016 Elsevier GmbH.

Abstract: The spectral analysis method was applied experimentally to extract the spectral indices, measure and analyze the spectral characteristics and their difference of the mixture which are composed in soil in Central Shaanxi Plain and the diesel and motor oil respectively, aiming to provide solutions to practical difficulties in detecting, analyzing the spectral characteristics and difference between the soil leaking with equal content diesel and motor oil and predicting the leaking content of diesel in the soil. The spectral response curves of the soil leaking with different oil respectively and the soil leaking with diesel with different content were collected. Then the spectral prediction model for the leaking content of diesel in the soil was built based on the reflectance characteristics. The coefficient of the detection (R2) was introduced to evaluate the stability of the built model, and the parameter root mean squared error (RMSE) was introduced to estimate the precision and the predictability of the model built in this work. It is demonstrated that: (1) The reflectance of soil leaking with diesel is less than that of the equal content motor oil. And there is a double absorption trough of the reflectance curve of both soil leaking with diesel and motor oil at 1740 and 2328 nm. The spectral absorption indices and absorption depth of the soil leaking with diesel keep less than the equal content motor oil. (2) The built spectral prediction model for the leaking content of diesel in the soil demonstrates good stability with the coefficient of determination at R2=0.854, and performs favorable predictability (Root-Mean-Square Error, RMSE=0.016), which can benefit the effective prediction and quick estimation methods of the leaking content of diesel in the soil, enrich and progress the experimental method and theoretical research work of spectral prediction on soil leaking oil content and promote the application of remote sensing in safety production and environmental protection. © 2016, Peking University Press.

Abstract: Image took under hazy weather suffers from poor contrast and resolution, the haze particles will attenuate the light reflected by the targets and add unwanted scattering light. Based on the fact that the target reflection and scattering light have different polarimetric characteristics, light's power to penetrate the haze particles is linked with wavelength, this paper combines the polarimetric dehazing technique with spectral analysis, firstly proposed the polarimetric spectral dehazing method. A polarimetric spectral imager is used to obtain data under a continuously changing weather circle, the dehazing result is analyzed under five different spectral channels of 451.4 nm, 551.2 nm, 650.9 nm, 750.7 nm and 850.5 nm. The results show that our method can effectively recover the haze degenerated image under visible and infrared channels, the restoration quality of detailed information of the near-field and the far-field targets are in varying degrees under different channels. The dehazing process can enhance the image contrast by 1.68-3.64 times under different wavelengths. Two correction factors, which regularity is given for particle use, are introduced to revise an image restoration result. © 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier GmbH.

Abstract: In order to further improve the operation speed and reduce the false alarm rate of the unsupervised detection method for small targets in hyperspectral remote sensing images, a detection method based on the projection pursuit (PP) optimized by improved artificial bee colony (ABC) optimization algorithm and K-nearest neighbor (KNN) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) method is adopted to perform the dimension reduction of the original hyperspectral remote sensing images. Then, the method jointly defining the kurtosis and skewness according to the neighborhood pixels is proposed, the combination of the kurtosis and skewness is taken as the projection index. The improved artificial bee colony algorithm is taken as the optimization algorithm. The projection pursuit is used to obtain the projection images layer by layer from the low dimensional hyperspectral remote sensing images, and the small targets are extracted according to the histogram of these projection images. Finally, the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is used to extract the features of the pixels, and the weighted K-nearest neighbor method is used to purify the preliminary detection results of the small targets. A large number of experiment results show that compared with the RX method, independent component analysis (ICA) method and the projection pursuit method based on chaotic particle swarm optimization (CPSO), the proposed method not only can detect the small targets in hyperspectral remote sensing image accurately, but also has faster operation speed. © 2016, Science Press.

Abstract: Underwater laser communication is influenced by the absorption and scattering of water, which causes severe signal energy attenuation during propagation. Laser communication based on the photon counting is considered as an effective way to resist signal loss and increase communication distance because of its ultra-high detection sensitivity. However, since communication data recovery is usually realized by detecting electrical pulse at the output of single photon detector directly in traditional photon counting communication, the communication bit error rate would be easily influenced by background light noise. In this paper, an improved method is proposed and studied to solve this problem. In our approach, the photons arrived at the communication receiver are converted into electrical pulses by single photon detector first. Then, communication data is recovered through counting the electrical pulse number on unit time. The experimental result shows that detection sensitivity of 84.24 bit-1can be realized by the proposed method, when the communication wavelength is 532 nm, the communication rate is 50 kb/s, and the signal to noise ratio is 5.14.The novel approach proposed in this paper provides a new technical idea for high-sensitivity underwater laser communication. © 2016, Chinese Lasers Press.

Abstract: The orbital rotation is an important type of motion of trapped particles apart from translation and spin rotation. It could be realized by introducing a transverse offset to the dual-beam fiber-optic trap. The characteristics (e.g. rotation perimeter and frequency) of the orbital rotation have been analyzed in this article. We demonstrate the influences of offset distance, beam waist separation distance, light power, and radius of the microsphere by both experimental and numerical work. The experiment results, i.e. orbital rotation perimeter and frequency as functions of these parameters, are consistent with the theoretical model in the present work. The orbital rotation amplitude and frequency could be exactly controlled by varying these parameters. This controllable orbital rotation can be easily applied to the area where microfluidic mixing is required. ©2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: A high-peak-power low-repetition-rate sub-nanosecond intracavity KTiOPO4 (KTP) optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped by a doubly Q-switched and mode-locked (QML) YVO4/Nd:YVO4 laser with an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) and a single-walled carbon nanotube saturable absorber (SWCNT-SA) has been demonstrated. A maximum output power of 373mW at a signal wavelength of 1570nm was obtained. The smallest pulse width, highest pulse energy, and greatest peak power of mode-locking pulses were estimated to be 119 ps, 124 μJ, and 1.04MW, respectively, under a maximum incident pump power of 8.3W and an AOM repetition rate of 2 kHz. This OPO operation paves a simple way to produce eye-safe laser sources at 1570nm with low repetition rates, small pulse widths, and high peak powers. © 2016 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.

Abstract: As a promising paradigm to reduce both capital and operating expenditures, the cloud radio access network (C-RAN) has been shown to provide high spectral efficiency and energy efficiency. Motivated by its significant theoretical performance gains and potential advantages, C-RANs have been advocated by both the industry and research community. This paper comprehensively surveys the recent advances of C-RANs, including system architectures, key techniques, and open issues. The system architectures with different functional splits and the corresponding characteristics are comprehensively summarized and discussed. The state-of-The-Art key techniques in C-RANs are classified as: The fronthaul compression, large-scale collaborative processing, and channel estimation in the physical layer; and the radio resource allocation and optimization in the upper layer.

Abstract: The discrimination and simplicity of features are very important for effective and efficient pedestrian detection. However, most state-of-the-art methods are unable to achieve good tradeoff between accuracy and efficiency. Inspired by some simple inherent attributes of pedestrians (i.e., appearance constancy and shape symmetry), we propose two new types of non-neighboring features (NNF): side-inner difference features (SIDF) and symmetrical similarity features (SSF). SIDF can characterize the difference between the background and pedestrian and the difference between the pedestrian contour and its inner part. SSF can capture the symmetrical similarity of pedestrian shape. However, it's difficult for neighboring features to have such above characterization abilities. Finally, we propose to combine both non-neighboring and neighboring features for pedestrian detection. It's found that nonneighboring features can further decrease the average miss rate by 4.44%. Experimental results on INRIA and Caltech pedestrian datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed method. Compared to the state-ofthe-art methods without using CNN, our method achieves the best detection performance on Caltech, outperforming the second best method (i.e., Checkerboards) by 1.63%.

Abstract: Photonic integrated circuits that exploit nonlinear optics in order to generate and process signals all-optically have achieved performance far superior to that possible electronically - particularly with respect to speed. We review the recent achievements based in new CMOS-compatible platforms that are better suited than SOI for nonlinear optics, focusing on radio frequency (RF) and microwave based applications that exploit micro-resonator based frequency combs. We highlight their potential as well as the challenges to achieving practical solutions for many key applications. These material systems have opened up many new capabilities such as on-chip optical frequency comb generation and ultrafast optical pulse generation and measurement. We review recent work on a photonic RF Hilbert transformer for broadband microwave in-phase and quadrature-phase generation based on an integrated frequency optical comb. The comb is generated using a nonlinear microring resonator based on a CMOS compatible, high-index contrast, doped-silica glass platform. The high quality and large frequency spacing of the comb enables filters with up to 20 taps, allowing us to demonstrate a quadrature filter with more than a 5-octave (3 dB) bandwidth and an almost uniform phase response. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Propagation of a signal beam in an AlGaAs/GaAs waveguide multiple-prism light deflector is theoretically investigated by solving the scalar Helmholtz equation to obtain the dependences of the temporal and spatial resolvable characteristics of the ultrafast deflector on the material dispersion of GaAs including group velocity dispersion and angular dispersion, interface reflection, and interface scattering of multiple-prism deflector. Furthermore, we experimentally confirm that, in this ultrafast beam deflection device, the deflecting angle of the signal light beam is linear with the pump fluence and the temporal resolution of the ultrafast deflection is 10 ps. Our results show that the improvement of the temporal and spatial resolvable performances is possible by properly choosing the structural parameters and enhancing the quality of the device. © 2016 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.

Abstract: To obtain a high spatial resolution of a image intensifier based on microchannel plate (MCP), the long tail in the exit energy distribution of the output electrons (EDOE) is undesirable. The existing solution is increasing the penetration depth of the MCP output electrode, which will result in a serious gain reduction. Coating the MCP output electrode with efficient secondary electron yield (SEY) materials is supposed to be an effective approach to suppress the unfavorable tail component in the EDOE without negative effects on the gain. In our work, a three-dimensional MCP single channel model is developed in CST STUDIO SUITE to systematically investigate the dependences of the EDOE and the gain on the SEY property of the coated material, based on the Finite Integral Technique and Monte Carlo method. The results show that besides the high SEY of the coated material, the low incident energy corresponding to the peak SEY is another essential element affecting the electron yield in the final stage of multiplication and suppressing the output energy spread. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: Deep learning is skilled at learning representation from raw data, which are embedded in the semantic space. Traditional multimodal networks take advantage of this, and maximize the joint distribution over the representations of different modalities. However, the similarity among the representations are not emphasized, which is an important property for multimodal data. In this paper, we will introduce a novel learning method for multimodal networks, named as Semantic Similarity Learning (SSL), which aims at training the model via enhancing the similarity between the highlevel features of different modalities. Sets of experiments are conducted for evaluating the method on different multimodal networks and multiple tasks. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of SSL in keeping the shared information and improving the discrimination. Particularly, SSL shows its ability in encouraging each modality to learn transferred knowledge from the other one when faced with missing data. © 2016 ACM.

Abstract: A modified chelate precursor doping technique using high-purity materials and accurate gas flow control system is proposed to fabricate an efficient ytterbium-doped large-mode-Area silica fibre for laser development. This technique enables to make homogeneous large-core preform with symmetrical shape, relatively low numerical aperture of ∼0.06 and large-core size of over 4 mm. Homemade preform was drawn into standard fibre for testing and fully characterised by electron probe microanalysis and time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry. On the basis of two-stage master oscillator power amplifier system, 1 kW laser output with slope efficiency of 81.0% was realised at ∼1064 nm. © The Institution of Engineering and Technology 2016.

Abstract: For regression-based single-image super-resolution (SR) problem, the key is to establish a mapping relation between high-resolution (HR) and low-resolution (LR) image patches for obtaining a visually pleasing quality image. Most existing approaches typically solve it by dividing the model into several single-output regression problems, which obviously ignores the circumstance that a pixel within an HR patch affects other spatially adjacent pixels during the training process, and thus tends to generate serious ringing artifacts in resultant HR image as well as increase computational burden. To alleviate these problems, we propose to use structured output regression machine (SORM) to simultaneously model the inherent spatial relations between the HR and LR patches, which is propitious to preserve sharp edges. In addition, to further improve the quality of reconstructed HR images, a nonlocal (NL) self-similarity prior in natural images is introduced to formulate as a regularization term to further enhance the SORM-based SR results. To offer a computation-effective SORM method, we use a relative small nonsupport vector samples to establish the accurate regression model and an accelerating algorithm for NL self-similarity calculation. Extensive SR experiments on various images indicate that the proposed method can achieve more promising performance than the other state-of-the-art SR methods in terms of both visual quality and computational cost. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: Extracting local features from 3D shapes is an important and challenging task that usually requires carefully designed 3D shape descriptors. However, these descriptors are hand-crafted and require intensive human intervention with prior knowledge. To tackle this issue, we propose a novel deep learning model, namely circle convolutional restricted Boltzmann machine (CCRBM), for unsupervised 3D local feature learning. CCRBM is specially designed to learn from raw 3D representations. It effectively overcomes obstacles such as irregular vertex topology, orientation ambiguity on the 3D surface, and rigid or slightly non-rigid transformation invariance in the hierarchical learning of 3D data that cannot be resolved by the existing deep learning models. Specifically, by introducing the novel circle convolution, CCRBM holds a novel ring-like multi-layer structure to learn 3D local features in a structure preserving manner. Circle convolution convolves across 3D local regions via rotating a novel circular sector convolution window in a consistent circular direction. In the process of circle convolution, extra points are sampled in each 3D local region and projected onto the tangent plane of the center of the region. In this way, the projection distances in each sector window are employed to constitute a novel local raw 3D representation called projection distance distribution (PDD). In addition, to eliminate the initial location ambiguity of a sector window, the Fourier transform modulus is used to transform the PDD into the Fourier domain, which is then conveyed to CCRBM. Experiments using the learned local features are conducted on three aspects: global shape retrieval, partial shape retrieval, and shape correspondence. The experimental results show that the learned local features outperform other state-of-the-art 3D shape descriptors. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: With the development of optical technology, optic-mechanical-electric technology becomes a trend. An integrated, arrayed and miniaturized optical system was required. Binary optical element is famous for its excellent performance in light-wave transformation. Double-layer binary optical element has high diffraction efficiency over wide wavelength range. However, in the fabrication of double layer BOE, many errors occurred, such as height error, periodic error, multi-mask fabrication error etc.A theoretical analysis of these errors was carried out based on scalar diffraction theory, and a MATLAB simulation was implemented. The simulation result indicated that the diffraction efficiency deteriorated if the height errors occurred in different direction rather than in the same direction. Therefore, height errors from different direction should be avoid in fabrication. If the multi-mask fabrication error is occurred from different direction, the diffraction efficiency will decrease more quickly than from the same direction, so multi-mask fabrication error from different direction should be avoid as much as possible. Compared to height error and multi-mask fabrication error, other four errors have varying degrees of impact on the diffraction efficiency. © 2016, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

Abstract: Ultrafast phenomenon has presented widely in natural phenomenon and scientific and technological research. Therefore, study on ultrafast phenomenon is of great important in many research and technology fields. In recent years, the development and application of ultra-short laser pulse has been covered many areas. It has been developed into a powerful tool used to research ultrafast phenomena. In the implementation process of the ultra-short laser pulses, high-speed switching plays a vital role. The difficulty of high-speed switching design is to make the ultrafast electric pulse load on the both ends of the crystal with minimum distortion and delay. It is very difficult to switch electro-optic crystal at a high frequency in traditional method. In this paper, a new method is designed, which combined the electro-optic crystal and micro-strip line. The crystal is a part of the transmission path and the signal path of the micro-strip line is broadened or narrowed continuously to make the impedance matching to 50 ohm. The good match between pulse signal and the crystal make sure the high frequency switches of the crystal. The amplitude loss is less than 11%, and the delay is less than 1 nanosecond. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: An algorithm of detection and tracking of multiple small moving space junks under the complex star sequential images is proposed in this paper. Firstly we take image smoothing and adaptive threshold segment to improve the weight of junks. Furthermore, back neighborhood frame correlation (BNFC) is proposed to detect and locate the junk which is sheltered by bigger interfaced stars. Through cross projection method, we could extract the centroid of the moving junks. At last, the Kalman Filter is used to track and estimate the trajectory of moving junks. Experiments show that through this algorithm the multiple small space junks could be detected and tracked effectively and accurately under complex star background with good performance in low error rate and good real-time processing. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Over the past few years, fast approximate nearest neighbor (ANN) search is desirable or essential, e.g., in huge databases, and therefore many hashing-based ANN techniques have been presented to return the nearest neighbors of a given query from huge databases. Hashing-based ANN techniques have become popular due to its low memory cost and good computational complexity. Recently, most of hashing methods have realized the importance of the relationship of the data and exploited the different structure of data to improve retrieval performance. However, a limitation of the aforementioned methods is that the sparse reconstructive relationship of the data is neglected. In this case, few methods can find the discriminating power and own the local properties of the data for learning compact and effective hash codes. To take this crucial issue into account, this paper proposes a method named special structure-based hashing (SSBH). SSBH can preserve the underlying geometric information among the data, and exploit the prior information that there exists sparse reconstructive relationship of the data, for learning compact and effective hash codes. Upon extensive experimental results, SSBH is demonstrated to be more robust and more effective than state-of-the-art hashing methods. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: We propose a nanoring array structure backed by a metal mirror to achieve perfect infrared absorber with absorption as high as 99.99%. The frequency of the absorption peak strongly depends on the refractive index surrounding the structured surface, while the maximum of absorption remains constant with varying the surrounding refractive index. These features can be used as plasmonic sensor for refractive index measurement. This plasmonic sensor possesses the figure of merit 700. In addition, we investigate the effect of various materials on the performance of the sensor, including, TiN, and dielectric spacer and Au, Ag, Al, and Cu back plate and top structure. Due to the high sensitivity and simple sensing scheme, the sensing strategy can find potential applications in chemical and biosensor applications. © 2015 Taylor & Francis.

Abstract: Automatically predicting human eye fixations is a useful technique that can facilitate many multimedia applications, e.g., image retrieval, action recognition, and photo retargeting. Conventional approaches are frustrated by two drawbacks. First, psychophysical experiments show that an object-level interpretation of scenes influences eye movements significantly. Most of the existing saliency models rely on object detectors, and therefore, only a few prespecified categories can be discovered. Second, the relative displacement of objects influences their saliency remarkably, but current models cannot describe them explicitly. To solve these problems, this paper proposes weakly supervised fixations prediction, which leverages image labels to improve accuracy of human fixations prediction. The proposed model hierarchically discovers objects as well as their spatial configurations. Starting from the raw image pixels, we sample superpixels in an image, thereby seamless object descriptors termed object-level graphlets (oGLs) are generated by random walking on the superpixel mosaic. Then, a manifold embedding algorithm is proposed to encode image labels into oGLs, and the response map of each prespecified object is computed accordingly. On the basis of the object-level response map, we propose spatial-level graphlets (sGLs) to model the relative positions among objects. Afterward, eye tracking data is employed to integrate these sGLs for predicting human eye fixations. Thorough experiment results demonstrate the advantage of the proposed method over the state-of-the-art. © 2015 IEEE.

Abstract: HERD is the High Energy cosmic-Radiation Detection instrument proposed to operate onboard China's space station in the 2020s. It is designed to detect energetic cosmic ray nuclei, leptons and photons with a high energy resolution (∼1% for electrons and photons and 20% for nuclei) and a large geometry factor (>3 m2sr for electrons and diffuse photons and > [2]m2sr for nuclei). In this work we discuss the capability of HERD to detect monochromatic γ-ray lines, based on simulations of the detector performance. It is shown that HERD will be one of the most sensitive instruments for monochromatic γ-ray searches at energies between ∼ 10 to a few hundred GeV. Above hundreds of GeV, Cherenkov telescopes will be more sensitive due to their large effective area. As a specific example, we show that a good portion of the parameter space of a supersymmetric dark matter model can be probed with HERD. © 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract: Saliency detection has been a hot topic in recent years, and many efforts have been devoted in this area. Unfortunately, the results of saliency detection can hardly be utilized in general applications. The primary reason, we think, is unspecific definition of salient objects, which makes that the previously published methods cannot extend to practical applications. To solve this problem, we claim that saliency should be defined in a context and the salient band selection in hyperspectral image (HSI) is introduced as an example. Unfortunately, the traditional salient band selection methods suffer from the problem of inappropriate measurement of band difference. To tackle this problem, we propose to eliminate the drawbacks of traditional salient band selection methods by manifold ranking. It puts the band vectors in the more accurate manifold space and treats the saliency problem from a novel ranking perspective, which is considered to be the main contributions of this paper. To justify the effectiveness of the proposed method, experiments are conducted on three HSIs, and our method is compared with the six existing competitors. Results show that the proposed method is very effective and can achieve the best performance among the competitors. © 2012 IEEE.

Abstract: Hyperspectral image (HSI) involves vast quantities of information that can help with the image analysis. However, this information has sometimes been proved to be redundant, considering specific applications such as HSI classification and anomaly detection. To address this problem, hyperspectral band selection is viewed as an effective dimensionality reduction method that can remove the redundant components of HSI. Various HSI band selection methods have been proposed recently, and the clustering-based method is a traditional one. This agglomerative method has been considered simple and straightforward, while the performance is generally inferior to the state of the art. To tackle the inherent drawbacks of the clustering-based band selection method, a new framework concerning on dual clustering is proposed in this paper. The main contribution can be concluded as follows: 1) a novel descriptor that reveals the context of HSI efficiently; 2) a dual clustering method that includes the contextual information in the clustering process; 3) a new strategy that selects the cluster representatives jointly considering the mutual effects of each cluster. Experimental results on three real-world HSIs verify the noticeable accuracy of the proposed method, with regard to the HSI classification application. The main comparison has been conducted among several recent clustering-based band selection methods and constraint-based band selection methods, demonstrating the superiority of the technique that we present. © 1980-2012 IEEE.

Abstract: A novel scheme is proposed to restore weak pulse signals immersed in noise by stochastic resonance based on photothermal-effect-induced optical bistability in a buckled dome microcavity. The bistable properties of the dome microcavity are analyzed with different initial detuning wavelengths and effective cavity lengths, and bistable transmission can be obtained for input powers in submilliwatt range. A theoretical model is derived to interpret the nonlinear process of pulse signal recovery through double-well potential theory. The cross-correlation coefficient between output signals and pure input pulses is calculated to quantitatively analyze the influence of noise intensity on stochastic resonance. A cross-correlation gain of 7 is obtained, and the noise-hidden signal can be recovered effectively though the buckled dome microcavity with negligible distortion. The simulation results show the potential of using this structure to restore low-level or noise-hidden pulse signals in all-optical integrated systems. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: Single wavelength illumination is used in the traditional ptychography. Even though using multi-wavelength to improve image quality, it takes the scheme of illuminating in turn due to the requirement of coherence. So far, the addition of incoherent modes has been regarded as a nuisance in diffractive imaging. Here we propose a scheme of incoherent ptychography and an algorithm of information multiplexing that uses the multi-wavelength illumination simultaneously, which are demonstrated in experiment and simulation. Compared with the scheme of traditional ptychography, it can recover not only the object well, but also the spectral response of the object, probes of complex value and spectral weight of each wavelength respectively. This method obtains much information about the object and owns the multichannel and multispectral merits. Meanwhile, by means of color image coding, this method can retrieve true color images and enhance the image quality. The proposed algorithm has strong robustness. Besides, we also investigate how many modes can be recovered by this method. The work may open up possibilities for information multiplexing in ptychography and multispectral microscopy imaging over various applications. © 2016 Chinese Physical Society.

Abstract: Estimating missing entries in matrices has attracted much attention due to its wide range of applications like image inpainting and video denoising, which are usually considered as low-rank matrix completion problems theoretically. It is common to consider nuclear norm as a surrogate of the rank operator since it is the tightest convex lower bound of the rank operator under certain conditions. However, most approaches based on nuclear norm minimization involve a number of singular value decomposition (SVD) operations. Given a matrix X ∈ Rmxn, the time complexity of the SVD operation is O(mn2), which brings prohibitive computational burden on large-scale matrices, limiting the further usage of these methods in real applications. Motivated by this observation, a series of atom-decomposition-based matrix completion methods have been studied. The key to these methods is to reconstruct the target matrix by pursuit methods in a greedy way, which only involves the computation of the top SVD and has great advantages in efficiency compared with the SVD-based matrix completion methods. However, due to gradually serious accumulation errors, atom-decomposition-based methods usually result in unsatisfactory reconstruction accuracy. In this article, we propose a new efficient and scalable atom decomposition algorithm for matrix completion called Adaptive Basis Selection Strategy (ABSS). Different from traditional greedy atom decomposition methods, a two-phase strategy is conducted to generate the basis separately via different strategies according to their different nature. At first, we globally prune the basis space to eliminate the unimportant basis as much as possible and locate the probable subspace containing the most informative basis. Then, another group of basis spaces are learned to improve the recovery accuracy based on local information. In this way, our proposed algorithm breaks through the accuracy bottleneck of traditional atom-decomposition-based matrix completion methods; meanwhile, it reserves the innate efficiency advantages over SVD-based matrix completion methods. We empirically evaluate the proposed algorithm ABSS on real visual image data and large-scale recommendation datasets. Results have shown that ABSS has much better reconstruction accuracy with comparable cost to atom-decomposition-based methods. At the same time, it outperforms the state-of-the-art SVD-based matrix completion algorithms by similar or better reconstruction accuracy with enormous advantages on efficiency. © 2016 ACM.

Abstract: A pulse width tunable fiber-based chirp pulse amplification (CPA) system had been built by our newly developed dispersion tuning mechanism. In order to realize dispersion fine tuning, we changed the temperature of chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG), which was used as stretcher in CPA system, to change the dispersion compensation level between stretcher and grating pairs compressor. By the help of this method, the minimum pulse width after compression can be obtained by balancing the dispersion of the stretcher and of the compressor. In our experimental fiber CPA system, the minimum pulse duration of 780 fs was recorded by autocorrelator during the CFBG temperature tuning at temperature range of 0 °C to 50 °C, and the pulse tuning accuracy can reach about 3 fs/ °C. © 2016 Elsevier GmbH (15 refs.)Main Heading: Ultrashort pulsesControlled terms: Bragg gratings - Dispersion (waves) - Fiber Bragg gratings - Fibers - StretchersUncontrolled terms: CFBG - Chirp pulse amplifications - Chirped fiber Bragg grating - CPA system - Dispersion tuning - Minimum pulse widths - Temperature range - Temperature tuningClassification Code: 462.1 Biomedical Equipment, GeneralBiomedical Equipment, General - 741.3 Optical Devices and SystemsOptical Devices and Systems

Abstract: Quality enhancement of images acquired in hazy conditions is a significant research area in civil and military applications. The polarimetric dehazing methods have been exploited to dehaze hazy images and have proven to be effective in enhancing their quality. In this paper, by combining the polarimetric imaging technique and the dark channel prior technique, a robust haze-removal scheme is presented for the first time. On the one hand, the polarimetric imaging technique has advantages in recovering detailed information well, especially in dense hazy conditions; on the other hand, the dark channel prior technique provides a much more precise and convenient way to estimate the airlight radiance through extracting the sky region automatically. The experiments verify the practicability and effectiveness of the proposed dehazing scheme in quality enhancement of hazy images. Furthermore, comparison study demonstrates that the proposed scheme is superior to some sophisticated methods in terms of the visibility and contrast. We believe this scheme is beneficial in the image dehazing applications, especially for real-time applications. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd (29 refs.)Main Heading: Image processingControlled terms: Automation - Demulsification - Image enhancement - Imaging techniques - Military applications - Military photography - Polarimeters - Quality control - VisibilityUncontrolled terms: Automatic identification - Comparison study - Dark channel priors - Haze removal - Imaging through turbid media - Polarimetric imaging - Quality enhancement - Real-time applicationClassification Code: 404.1 Military EngineeringMilitary Engineering - 731 Automatic Control Principles and ApplicationsAutomatic Control Principles and Applications - 741.2 VisionVision - 746 Imaging TechniquesImaging Techniques - 802.3 Chemical OperationsChemical Operations - 913.3 Quality Assurance and ControlQuality Assurance and Control - 941.3 Optical InstrumentsOptical Instruments

Abstract: A carbon nanotube (CNT)-modified microfiber Bragg grating (MFBG) is proposed to measure the refractive index with a strong enhancement of the sensitivity in the low refractive index region. The introduction of the CNT layer influences the evanescent field of the MFBG and causes modification of the reflection spectrum. With the increase of the surrounding refractive index (SRI), we observe significant attenuation to the peak of the Bragg resonance, while its wavelength remains almost unchanged. Our detailed experimental results disclose that the CNT-MFBG demonstrates strong sensitivity in the low refractive index range of 1.333-1.435, with peak intensity up to -53.4 dBm/refractive index unit, which is 15-folds higher than that of the uncoated MFBG. Therefore, taking advantage of the CNT-induced evanescent field enhancement, the reflective MFBG probe presents strong sensing capability in biochemical fields. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: With the rapid development of remote sensing technology, huge quantities of high resolution remote sensing images are available now. Understanding these images in semantic level is of great significance. Hence, a deep multimodal neural network model for semantic understanding of the high resolution remote sensing images is proposed in this paper, which uses both visual and textual information of the high resolution remote sensing images to generate natural sentences describing the given images. In the proposed model, the convolution neural network is utilized to extract the image feature, which is then combined with the text descriptions of the images by RNN or LSTMs. And in the experiments, two new remote sensing image-captions datasets are built at first. Then different kinds of CNNs with RNN or LSTMs are combined to find which is the best combination for caption generation. The experiments results prove that the proposed method achieves good performances in semantic understanding of high resolution remote sensing images. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: When the star navigation system working during the day, the strong sky background radiation lead to a result that the detect target light is too weak, in the field of view, because of the limitation on the number of the navigation star, usually choose the single star navigation work mode. In order to improve the reliability of the airborne SINS/CNS integrated navigation system, meet the demand of the long-endurance and high precision navigation, use the tight combination way, single star patrol algorithm to get the position and attitude. There exists filtering divergence problem because of the model error and the system measurement noise is uncertain, put forward a new fuzzy adaptive kalman filtering algorithm. Adjust the size of measurement noise to prevent the filter divergence; the positioning accuracy of integrated navigation system can be improved through BeiDou satellite. Without the information of BeiDou satellite, based on the level of the virtual reference, the navigation precision of integrated navigation system can be ensured over a period of time. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Focusing fields of optical vortex (OV) beams with circular or radial polarizations carry both spin angular momentum (SAM) and orbital angular momentum (OAM), and can realize non-axial spinning and orbiting motion of absorptive particles. Using the T-matrix method, we evaluate the optical forces and torques exerted on micro-sized particles induced by the OV beams. Numerical results demonstrate that the particle is trapped on the circle of intensity maxima, and experiences a transverse spin torque along azimuthal direction, a longitudinal spin torque, and an orbital torque, respectively. The direction of spinning motion is not only related to the sign of topological charge of the OV beam, but also to the polarization state. However, the topological charge controls the direction of orbiting motion individually. Optically induced rotations of particles with varying sizes and absorptivity are investigated in OV beams with different topological charges and polarization states. These results may be exploited in practical optical manipulation, especially for optically induced rotations of micro-particles. © 2016 Optical Society of America.

Abstract: Watts-level ultra-short wavelength operation of a Tm-doped all fiber laser was developed by using a 1550 nm Er-doped fiber laser pump source and a pair of fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The laser yielded 1.28 W of continuous-wave output at 1707.01 nm with a narrow linewidth of ∼44 pm by means of a 20 cm Tm-doped fiber. The dependencies of the slope efficiencies and pump threshold of the Tm-doped fiber laser versus the length of active fiber and reflectivity of the output mirror (FBG) were investigated in detail, in which the maximum average slope efficiency was 36.1%. There is no doubt that this all fiber laser will be a perfect pump source for mid-IR laser output. © 2016 Astro Ltd.

Abstract: Heat generation in the active region leads to high junction temperature that significantly affects electrical and optical properties, reliability and lifetime of high power diode laser arrays. It is of great importance to understand the thermal behavior to improve the devices. Compared to conduction cooling techniques, diode laser arrays packaged on microchannel heat sinks have superior capability to dissipate the large amount of heat so as to deliver higher output power and ensure high reliability. In this paper, numerical approach based on finite element method (FEM) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was employed to investigate thermal properties of microchannel cooled (MCC) high power diode laser arrays. The static and transient thermal behavior of the devices operated in continuous wave (CW) mode at different water flow rates have been studied in detail. The thermal resistance contributed from the laser chip, solder interface and MCC heat sink was revealed. The correlation between thermal resistance and water flow rate was analyzed. The thermal time constants were derived to characterize the three distinct heating processes related to active region, copper heat sink and copper/water interface. Non-uniformity of junction temperature across the diode laser array was discussed by thermal crosstalk employing the independent emitter analysis. Understanding thermal phenomena in diode laser arrays could offer useful guidelines in optimizing the operating conditions, MCC heat sink structures and packaging architectures for enhanced performance and reliability. © 2016 IEEE.

Abstract: To enhance the surface accuracy of laser metal direct forming pieces, a method applying femtosecond laser to fabricate the cladding sidewalls is proposed in this paper. The effects of laser fluence, scanning speed and scanning strategy on the processing accuracy are studied systematically. The experimental results show that when the laser fluence increases, the roughness of cladding sidewalls also increases. The roughness of the cladding sidewall is decreased firstly and then increased with the increasing scanning speed. When the laser fluence is between 0.12 and 0.34 J/cm2, the roughness of cladding sidewall is less than 3 μm. What is more, under single scanning strategy the sidewalls roughness is less than that when back and forth scanning method is used. ©2016 Old City Publishing, Inc.

Abstract: Structured illumination microscopy (SIM) is an attractive choice for fast superresolution imaging. The generation of structured illumination patterns made by interference of laser beams is broadly employed to obtain high modulation depth of patterns, while the polarizations of the laser beams must be elaborately controlled to guarantee the high contrast of interference intensity, which brings a more complex configuration for the polarization control. The emerging pattern projection strategy is much more compact, but the modulation depth of patterns is deteriorated by the optical transfer function of the optical system, especially in high spatial frequency near the diffraction limit. Therefore, the traditional superresolution reconstruction algorithm for interference-based SIM will suffer from many artifacts in the case of projection-based SIM that possesses a low modulation depth. Here, we propose an alternative reconstruction algorithm based on image recombination transform, which provides an alternative solution to address this problem even in a weak modulation depth. We demonstrated the effectiveness of this algorithm in the multicolor superresolution imaging of bovine pulmonary arterial endothelial cells in our developed projection-based SIM system, which applies a computer controlled digital micromirror device for fast fringe generation and multicolor light-emitting diodes for illumination. The merit of the system incorporated with the proposed algorithm allows for a low excitation intensity fluorescence imaging even less than 1W/cm2, which is beneficial for the long-term, in vivo superresolved imaging of live cells and tissues. © 2016 The Authors.

Abstract: Image perceptual hashing is a notable concept in the field of image processing. Its application ranges from image retrieval, image authentication, image recognition, to content-based image management. In this paper a novel image hashing algorithm based on SURF and KPCA, which extracts speed-up robust feature as the perceptual feature, is proposed. SURF retains the robust properties of SIFT, and it is 3 to 10 times faster than SIFT. Then, the Kernel PCA is used to decompose key points' descriptors and get compact expressions with well-preserved feature information. To improve the precision of digest matching, a binary image template of input image is generated which contains information of salient region to ensure the key points in it have greater weight during matching. After that, the hashing digest for image retrieval and image recognition is constructed. Experiments indicated that compared to SIFT and PCA based perceptual hashing, the proposed method could increase the precision of recognition, enhance robustness, and effectively reduce process time. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: A conceptual lightweight rectangular mirror is designed based on the theory of topology optimization and the specific structure size is determined through sensitivity analysis and size optimization in this paper. Under the load condition of gravity along the optical axis, compared with the mirrors designed by traditional method using finite element analysis method, the performance of the topology optimization reflectors supported by peripheral six points are superior in lightweight ratio, structure stiffness and the reflective surface accuracy. This suggests that the lightweight method in this paper is effective and has potential value for the design of rectangular reflector. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: Off-axis optical system has a wide application in space optics and remote detective area. The high surface shape accuracy can be ensured with the development of advanced manufacture technique. So the only condition which limits the wide application of off-axis optical system is how to realize the precise alignment of it. Based on a RC reflective optical system whose diameter is 400mm, the alignment method which combines the high resolution initial placement and computer-aided alignment is introduced. By designing a system which can measure the off-axis fabrication and off-axis angle precisely, the high resolution initial placement of off-axis mirror can be ensured with a measurement accuracy of ±0.05mm and ±10". The good initial placement can give a good initial state, so the computer-aided model can be converged well. The experiment shows that a system which has a good initial placement could have a good wave aberration of 0.04λ after three times iteration adjustment. © 2016 SPIE.

Abstract: A comprehensive dynamics analysis of microsphere has been presented in a dual-beam fiber-optic trap with transverse offset. As the offset distance between two counterpropagating beams increases, the motion type of the microsphere starts with capture, then spiral motion, then orbital rotation, and ends with escape. We analyze the transformation process and mechanism of the four motion types based on ray optics approximation. Dynamic simulations show that the existence of critical offset distances at which different motion types transform. The result is an important step toward explaining physical phenomena in a dual-beam fiberoptic trap with transverse offset, and is generally applicable to achieving controllable motions of microspheres in integrated systems, such as microfluidic systems and lab-on-a-chip systems. © 2016 Optical Society of America.
