  Abstract:Supervised learning-based methods are popular in single-image super-resolution (SR), and the underlying idea is to learn a map from input low-resolution (LR) images to target high-resolution (HR) images based on a training set. The generalization of the learned map ensures the well performance of these methods on various test images. However, the universality of these methods weakens their specificity. To enhance the performance of learning-based methods on given test images, a semi-supervised learning-based method is firstly proposed for single-image SR. In particular, test image patches are used to learn a dictionary for defining a test-data-dependent feature space. By using the learned dictionary, all LR training samples can be mapped into the test-data-dependent feature space, which makes the information contained in the training set be understood according to the given SR task. Finally, a regression function defined on the test-data-dependent feature space is learned from the refined training samples for generating SR images. The experimental results show that more details are recovered by the proposed semi-supervised method than its supervised version, which means it is a key to balance the universality and the specificity of a regression function in learning-based SR. © 2011 IEEE.

  Abstract:Time-resolved diagnosis of the transient process using X-ray frame cameras (XRCs) is an important means in inertial confinement fusion (ICF) experiments. The sensitivity of the photocathode is a key parameter of the entire camera system. This letter aims to raise the quantum efficiency (QE) of the photocathode. With the changes in the deposition parameters, such as deposit angle, thickness of the coating in the channel, and vacuum of evaporation, the QE results are different. After testing and theoretical calculation, we find that there is a best matching value among these parameters. When the coating parameter meet this best value, the gain of the XRC can be improved significantly. © 2011 Chinese Optics Letters.

  Abstract:The principle of reflecting rotating Fourier transform spectrometer was introduced in the present paper. Based on the Malus law and reflecting characteristic of cube corner, the optic path difference of reflecting rotating Fourier transform spectrometer was analyzed and calculated by choosing the center of rotating mirror as a reference point of the aplanatic surface of incidence beam and return beam. General expression of optic path difference at any time and maximal optic path difference of reflecting rotating Fourier transform spectrometer was presented. The factors that influence the maximal optic path difference and the period of optic path difference were analyzed. The results provide a theoretical guidance for design and manufacture of reflecting rotating Fourier transform spectrometer.

  Abstract:Liquid crystal tunable filter (LCTF) is a powerful dispersive element in multi-spectral imaging. Its physical size, however, exceeds the flange focal distance of general commercial off-the-shelf photographic lenses, which makes it difficult to combine with commercial lenses and cameras directly for multi-spectral imaging applications. A relay lens design working at unit magnification is proposed to accommodate the interface. The spectral range is from 400 nm to 720 nm, and the working F number is 4.5. With the symmetrical design strategy, coma, distortion and lateral color are canceled out automatically. The result satisfies the requirements of multi-spectral imaging. This system is compact and low-cost. It is applicable to the design of a portable multi-spectral imager based on the liquid crystal tunable filter.

  Abstract:The Shenguang III facility general diagnostic instrument manipulator provides a diagnostic platform to insert or retract various diagnostic systems into and out of the target chamber. It provides precision radial positioning and pointing capability, and it can carry diagnostic systems to specific position. It can also ensure the installation, debugging and maintaining of diagnostic system without affecting the vacuum in the target chamber. Installed on the Shenguang III prototype facility, it provides the radial positioning accuracy of 36 μm, and the pointing precision of 13 μm in X direction and 8 μm in Y direction. Full path positioning repeatability is 20 μm in radial direction, 30 μm in X direction and 12 μm in Y direction. Laser shot testing with X-ray framing camera indicates that, pointing accuracies in X and Y directions, radial positioning accuracy, vacuum capability, interface all meet the requirements of physical experiments. The manipulator also has the immunity to electromagnetic interference and radiation.

  Source: Optics Communications  Volume: 284  Issue: 14  DOI: 10.1016/j.optcom.2011.03.075  Published: July 1, 2011  
  Abstract:A kind of optical beam with controllable rotating intensity blades is generated by coaxially superposing two optical vortex beams with frequency difference (Δω), different topological charges (m1 and m2) and equal amplitude. It is shown theoretically that the number of the blades is determined by the subtraction of topological charges (m 1 - m2) and the angular velocity of the rotating pattern is equal to Δω / (m1 - m2). In our experiment, the rotating beams were generated by two optical vortex beams with opposite topological charges, where the frequency difference is acquired by a rotating plate glass. The results are quite in accordance with the simulations. © 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  Abstract:This review article describes some existing microplasma sources and their applications in analytical chemistry. These microplasmas mainly include direct current glow discharge (DC), microhollow-cathode discharge (MHCD) or microstructure electrode (MSE), dielectric barrier discharge (DBD), capacitively coupled microplasmas (CCPs), miniature inductively coupled plasmas (mICPs), and microwave-induced plasmas (MIPs). The historical development and recent advances in these microplasma techniques are presented. Fundamental properties of the microplasmas, the unique features of the reduced size and volume, as well as the advantageous device structures for chemical analysis are discussed in detail, with the emphasis toward detection of gaseous samples. The analytical figures of merit obtained using these microplasmas as molecular/elemental- selective detectors for emission spectrometry and as ionization sources for mass spectrometry are also given in this review article.

  Abstract:Visual surveillance from low-altitude airborne platforms has been widely addressed in recent years. Moving vehicle detection is an important component of such a system, which is a very challenging task due to illumination variance and scene complexity. Therefore, a boosting Histogram Orientation Gradients (boosting HOG) feature is proposed in this paper. This feature is not sensitive to illumination change and shows better performance in characterizing object shape and appearance. Each of the boosting HOG feature is an output of an adaboost classifier, which is trained using all bins upon a cell in traditional HOG features. All boosting HOG features are combined to establish the final feature vector to train a linear SVM classifier for vehicle classification. Compared with classical approaches, the proposed method achieved better performance in higher detection rate, lower false positive rate and faster detection speed. © 2011 IEEE.

  Abstract:A kind of polymer-metal complex gel electrolyte is successfully prepared and is used in dye-sensitized solar cells. Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirm the structure of this complex and is found that the metal ion reacts with nitrogen in the polymer. This novel electrolyte shows apparent diffusion coefficient of iodide of 8.37 × 10-7 cm2 s-1 and the energy conversion efficiency of 6.10% when the amount of ZnI2 is 0.04 M. By studying the dissociation active energy of the inorganic salt in electrolytes, we find that the metal salts can dissociate more easily after reacting with polymer and as a result can provide extra free iodide ion. The cell maintains ca. 93% of its initial efficiency after 20 d without further sealing, which shows good long-time stability. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  Abstract:The present paper proposes a spectral discrimination method combining spectral information divergence with spectral gradient angle (SID×tan(SGAπ/2)) which overcomes the shortages of the existing methods which can not take the whole spectral shape and local characteristics into account simultaneously. Using the simulation spectra as input data, according to the interferogram acquirement principle and spectrum recovery algorithm of the temporally and spatially modulated Fourier transform imaging spectrometer (TSMFTIS), we simulated the distortion spectra recovery process of the TMSFTIS in different maximum mix ratio and distinguished the difference between the recovered spectra and the true spectrum by different spectral discrimination methods. The experiment results show that the SID×tan(SGAπ/2) can not only identify the similarity of the whole spectral shapes, but also distinguish local differences of the spectral characteristics. A comparative study was conducted among the different discrimination methods. The results have validated that the SID×tan(SGAπ/2) has a significant improvement in the discriminatory ability.

  Abstract:We describe a gradient anodic oxidation method. Polyacrylonitrile-based high-modulus carbon fibers were treated by the conventional and gradient anodic oxidation methods. The results show that the carbon fibers treated by the gradient method possessed a more stable tensile strength, larger NaOH uptake, shallower striations, flatter fracture surface of composites, and better interlaminar shear strength compared to those treated by the conventional method. This indicated that the gradient method was more effective in restricting the etching reaction and improving the adhesion between the carbon fibers and matrix, and we give a suggested explanation of the mechanisms. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
