  Abstract:We report world record high data transmission over standard optical fiber from a single optical source. We achieve a line rate of 44.2 Terabits per second (Tb/s) employing only the C-band at 1550nm, resulting in a spectral efficiency of 10.4 bits/s/Hz. We use a new and powerful class of micro-comb called soliton crystals that exhibit robust operation and stable generation as well as a high intrinsic efficiency that, together with an extremely low spacing of 48.9 GHz enables a very high coherent data modulation format of 64 QAM. We achieve error free transmission across 75 km of standard optical fiber in the lab and over a field trial with a metropolitan optical fiber network. This work demonstrates the ability of optical micro-combs to exceed other approaches in performance for the most demanding practical optical communications applications. © 2021 SPIE.

  Abstract:In the conventional method, the structural parameters of primary mirror are usually optimized just by the requirement of mechanical performance. Because the influences of structural parameters on thermal stability are not taken fully into account in this simple method, the lightweight optimum design of primary mirror usually brings the bad thermal stability, especially in the complex environment. In order to obtain better thermal stability, a new method about structure-thermal optimum design of tracking primary mirror is discussed. During the optimum process, both the lightweight ratio and thermal stability will be taken into account. The structure-thermal optimum is introduced into the analysis process and commenced after lightweight design as the secondary optimum. Using the engineering analysis of software ANSYS, a parameter finite element analysis (FEA) model of mirror is built. On the premise of appropriate lightweight ratio, the RMS of structure-thermal deformation of mirror surface and lightweight ratio are assigned to be state variables, and the maximal RMS of temperature gradient load to be object variable. The results show that certain structural parameters of tracking primary mirror have different influences on mechanical performance and thermal stability, even they are opposite. By structure-thermal optimizing, the optimized mirror model discussed in this paper has better thermal stability than the old one under the same thermal loads, which can drastically reduce difficulty in thermal control. © 2011 SPIE.

  Abstract:In action recognition, bag of words based approaches have been shown to be successful, for which the quality of codebook is critical. This paper proposes a novel approach to select key poses for the codebook, which models the descriptor space utilizing manifold learning to recover the geometric structure of the descriptors on a lower dimensional manifold space. A PageRank based centrality measure is developed to select key poses on the manifold. In each step, a key pose is selected and the remaining model is modified to maximize the discriminative power of selected codebook. In classification, the ambiguity of each action couple is evaluated through cross validation. An additional subdivision will be executed for ambiguous pairs. Experiments on ut-tower dataset showed that our method is able to obtain better performance than the state-of-the-art methods. © 2011 IEEE.

  Abstract:The goals of engineering and scientific missions for Chang'E-2 lunar satellite require high detection sensitivity and large imaging dynamic range for the onboard CCD cameras. The TDI CCD image sensor was adopted for the two linear CCD stereo cameras for the first time in the lunar reconnaissance of the world. The design argumentation is described in this paper. The analysis shows that the imagers meet the mission requirements. The satellite was launched on 1 October 2010 at zero window. The cameras obtained images of 7 m resolution on the 100 km orbit for the first time on 24 October 2010, and operated once again on 27 October 2010 to take stereo images of the Sinus Iridum with the resolution better than 1.5 m. On the near-moon-arc of 15 km×100 km elliptical orbit, the images are very clear and rich of grey scales, indicating successful completion of the Chang'E-2 engineering mission. At the present the cameras are acquiring the full lunar surface stereo images with 7 m resolution on the 100 km circular orbit to complete their scientific mission. © 2011 Science China Press and Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

  Abstract:A serials of chalcohalide glasses based on the composition 80GeS2-10In2S3-10CsI doped with the different Er3+/Ho3+ ions ratio were synthesized by melt-quenching technique. The state stability, Raman spectra, absorption spectra, upconversion emission spectra of glass samples were measured. Three intense upconversion luminescence emissions are observed at around 526, 549, and 660 nm, which correspond to Er3+:2H11/2 &rarr4I15/2, Er3+:4S3/2 &rarr4I15/2 +Ho3+:5S2 (5F4)&rarr5I8, and Er3+:4F9/2 &rarr4I15/2 + Ho3+:5F5 &rarr5I8 transitions, respectively. In 0.6mol% Er2S3/xHo2S3 codoped glasses, increase of Ho2S3 had positive effect up to the upconversion fluorescences. The upconversion emissions reach the maximum values when Ho2S3 is 0.6 mol%, and the intensities of the green and red light emissions were 4.2 and 10 times stronger than those un-doped Ho2S3, respectively. The possibie upconversion mechanisms and energy transfer between Er3+ and Ho3+ were also estimated and evaluated. All the three emissions are based on two photon absorption processes.

  Abstract:An optical configuration for parallel two-step phase-shifting digital holographic microscopy (DHM) based on a grating pair is proposed for the purpose of real-time phase microscopy. Orthogonally circularly polarized object and reference waves are diffracted twice by a pair of gratings, and two parallel copies for each beams come into being. Combined with polarization elements, parallel two-step phase-shifting holograms are obtained. Based on the proposed configuration, two schemes of DHM, i.e., slightly off-axis and on-axis DHM, have been implemented. The slightly off-axis DHM suppresses the dc term by subtracting the two phase-shifting holograms from each other, thus the requirement on the off-axis angle and sampling power of the CCD camera is reduced greatly. The on-axis DHM has the least requirement on the resolving power of the CCD camera, while it requires that the reference wave is premeasured and its intensity is no less than 2 times the maximal intensity of the object wave. © 2011 Optical Society of America.

  Abstract:Both propane plasma and air plasma are successfully generated at atmospheric pressure by using two dielectric barrier discharge reactors with different configurations, in which one is used to activate propane and the other is used to activate air. The plasma pictures show that the microdischarge channels in the plasmas increase and become increasingly more uniform with the deposited power under both activation methods. It is found that the propane plasma is of an ivory white color, while the air plasma is purple, as a result of the different gas components. A 30-W propane or air plasma leads to a significant temperature rise of the main flame, attributed to the production of reactive radicals and fuel fragments in such plasmas. © 2006 IEEE.

  Abstract:We demonstrated that the nonreciprocal phase shift (NPS) can be efficiently enhanced by introducing a low-index magneto-optical (MO) slot with a compensation wall (CW) in a high-index non-MO waveguide. The proposed structure has been examined by a perturbation theory and it is found that by adjusting the slot width and waveguide height, more than 20 times enhancement of NPS comparing with the rib waveguide with a CW can be realized. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.

  Abstract:In this paper, a rapid adaptive pedestrian detection method based on cascade classifier with ternary pattern is proposed. The proposed method achieves its goal by employing the following three new strategies: (1) A method for adjusting the key parameters of the trained cascade classifier dynamically for detecting pedestrians in unseen scenes using only a small amount of labeled data from the new scenes. (2) An efficient optimization method is proposed, based on the cross entropy method and a priori knowledge of the scenes, to solve the classifier parameter optimization problem. (3) In order to further speed up pedestrian detection in unseen scenes, each strong classifier in the cascade employs a ternary detection pattern. In our experiments, two significantly different datasets, AHHF and NICTA, were used as the training set and testing set, respectively. The experimental results showed that the proposed method can quickly adapt a previously trained detector for pedestrian detection in various scenes compared with other existing methods. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

  Abstract:We demonstrate that slow light with large group-index, wideband, and low dispersion can be realized in a silicon-on-insulator W1-type photonic crystal waveguide by simply shifting the first two rows of air-holes adjacent to the waveguide to specific directions. Keeping the group index at 46, 60, 86, 111, 151, and 233, respectively, while restricting its variation within a 10 range, we accordingly obtain a slow light bandwidth of 9.0 nm, 6.7 nm, 4.6 nm, 3.3 nm, 2.4 nm, and 1.7 nm, respectively. The normalized delay-bandwidth product keeps around 0.25 for all cases. Moreover, we obtain ultraflat slow light with bandwidths over 3.0 nm, 2.4 nm, 1.6 nm, 1.3 nm, 0.93 nm, and 0.6 nm, respectively, where the group index variation is in a range of only 0.8. Numerical simulations are performed, utilizing the 2D plane wave expansion method and the finite-difference time-domain method. © 2011 American Institute of Physics.
