  Abstract:Tb3 + single-doped SiO2 (SiO2:Tb 3 +) and Tb3 +, Ag co-doped SiO2 (SiO 2:Tb3 +-Ag) nanostructured luminescent materials were prepared by a modified Stöber method. Their microstructure and optical property were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, ultraviolet visible absorption and photoluminescence spectrophotometry. Results show that the samples are composed of well-dispersed near-spherical particles with a diameter about 50 nm, the highest fluorescence intensity is obtained when the doping concentration of Tb3 + is 4.86 mol%, the corresponding internal quantum efficiency is 13.6% and the external quantum efficiency is 8.2%. The experimental results indicate that Ag nanoparticles can greatly enhance the light absorption at 226 nm and the light emission at 543 nm of SiO2:Tb3 +-Ag, and the fluorescence lifetime reduces with increasing Ag concentration in SiO2:Tb3 +-Ag. Additionally, the present results indicate that fluorescence enhancement is attributed to the local field enhancement and the increased radiative decay rates induced by Ag nanoparticles. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

  Abstract:We have numerically investigated the characteristics of the pulse evolution in a passively mode-locked thulium-doped fiber laser with net anomalous cavity dispersion. For the fixed resonator configuration, single-, dual-, triple-, and quadruple-pulses are generated successively by enhancing the pump power or reducing the output ratio. The characteristics of the single or multiple pulses are investigated with various cavity lengths. The separation between the two coexisting pulses changes with the pump power due to the interaction between the soliton and the dispersive waves, and then the two randomly distributed pulses could finally evolve into a soliton pair with fixed separation. According to the results of the numerical simulation, the multiple pulses are found to be generated via pulse splitting and the pulse splitting threshold decreases with the increase of the cavity length. © 2011 Elsevier B.V.

  Abstract:Slow light plays an important role in the fields of all-optical signal processing and integration photonics. It has shown many potential applications, such as realizing optical delay lines or buffers, enhancing linear and nonlinear light-matter interactions, as well as increasing the sensitivity of the interferometers and transducers. In this paper, hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers made from high index glasses are designed by infiltrating microfluid into the air-holes to tailor the fiber dispersion for slow-light propagation under low pulse distortion. In such a fiber made from Si material, group index ng~8 is obtained with a bandwidth up to 30 nm, where the group index fluctuation is restricted in ±10 % of the ng, while ng~6 is obtained with a bandwidth over 100 nm when the chalcogenide material is selected instead. Such a ±10 % criterion determines a regarded flatland region accordingly, and in this region the group velocity dispersion can be negligible. It is found that for the same fiber length the slow-light time delay in the photonic bandgap fiber is much larger as compared with that in the single mode fiber. This kind of photonic bandgap fiber may have many potential applications in short-distance fiber communications and delay lines. © 2012 SPIE.

  Abstract:Soliton molecules evolution is numerically investigated in a passively mode-locked fiber laser based on the nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) technique. Peak-to-peak separation of soliton molecules can be controlled by changing either pump strength or cavity linear phase delay appropriately. Moreover, soliton molecules with intensity-independent evolution, separation-independent evolution and large intensity-vibrating evolution are numerically found, respectively. The characteristics of soliton molecules evolution versus linear phase delay or pump strength are given. Periodic stable evolution regimes are found. The separation-controllable soliton molecules can be attributed to the mutual effects of phase delay, Kerr nonlinearity and other parameters of the cavity.© 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  Abstract:Threshold-based classifier is a simple yet powerful pattern classification tool, which has been frequently used in applications of object detection and recognition. A threshold-based classifier is usually associated with a unique one-dimensional feature. A properly selected threshold and a binary sign corresponding to the feature govern the classifier. However, the learning process is usually done in a batch manner. The batch algorithms are not suitable for sequentially incoming data because of the limitation of storage and prohibitive computation cost. To deal with sequentially incoming data, this paper proposes an incremental algorithm for incrementally learning the threshold-based classifiers. The proposed method can not only incrementally model the features but also estimate the threshold and training error in a close form. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is evaluated in the applications of gender recognition, face detection, and human detection. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

  Abstract:The electroexplosive devices(EED) are widely used in the core system of rocket, missile and nuclear weapons. Hazard analysis and measurement of electromagnetic pulse is of great importance to the security and reliability of EED. In this article, an optical-fiber fluorescence temperature sensor is proposed for analyzing hazard induced by electromagnetic pulse of EED. The temperature of EED can be measured through the fluorescence lifetime, then the induced current is obtained, and thereby the electromagnetic pulse induced hazard can be draw. The experiments show that, the set-up of this proposal can works with high precision and fast response, and immune to the electromagnetic interference.

  Abstract:The Long Slit Spectrograph is one of instruments onboard The World Space Observatory-Ultraviolet. Both the FUV (102-1700nm) and NUV (160-320nm) channels of LSS choose micro-channel plates (MCP) detector with anode readout in the focal plane. The MCP detectors with anode readout are typically used to provide photon counting imaging. According to the desired performance of LSS, the Vernier anode may be the optimum readout scheme. The Vernier anode is famous for its high spatial resolution, however, the original decode algorithms of the Vernier anode is susceptible to wrongly decode, when the charge acquisition is not precise enough and the footprint size of charge cloud collected by Vernier anode is not small enough and eventually results in the deterioration of photon counting image. In this paper, the causes leading to image deterioration is analyzed. The least-squares method was used to calculate the phase value to correct imaging distortions caused by charge measurement accuracy. The area ratio of each electrode covered by charge cloud is accurately calculated to improving the imaging results. The corrected algorithms are verified by experimental results and the results show that the correction methods can obviously improve the quality of the original photon counting image. © 2012 Copyright Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).

  Abstract:Based on solid state semiconductor devices and transistor avalanche theories of ultra-fast electronics, with pulse coupled method, multi-channel high-voltage picoseconds pulses were coupled in the time domain, and the ultra-wideband, high-pulse was obtained. The feasibility of the design was confirmed by four-channel pulse coupling experiment with the result of the output pulse power was increased. The experiment with amplitude of 1.33 kV, pulse width of 770 ps and jitter of less than 1% are generated by MARX circuits firstly. After the four pulses coupled, the output pulse will be with 2.66 kV, 875 ps and less than 1% in amplitude, width and jitter, respectively. This method can be extended to multi-channel pulse coupling to obtain higher power.

  Abstract:Photoexcitation of biased semiconductor photoconductive antennas by femtosecond pulses is the most common and convenient technique for generating strong terahertz (THz) pulses. In this paper, we use the three-dimensional (3D) finite-difference-time-domain (FDTD) to analyze electric field distribution of THz pulses in the near-field from a photoconductive antenna. The simulation is based on solving Maxwell's equations and the carrier rate equations simultaneously on realistic dipole antenna structures. The 3D FDTD simulation gives detailed features of THz electric field distribution in and out of the antenna. It is found that the difference of near-field distribution between the substrate and free space is considerably large. The fields of the alternating-current dipole exhibit an unsymmetrical distribution and a large deviation from those calculated using the simple Hertzian dipole theory. The magnitude of THz field in and out of the substrate attenuates rapidly while it holds the line in the gap center. The high-frequency components of THz radiation emission come only from the dipole antenna, while the low-frequency components are from both the center electrodes and coplanar stripline waveguide. This work can be used to optimize the design of antenna geometry and raise the radiation field power. © 2012 SPIE.

  Abstract:An approximate method for generating computer-generated holograms (CGH) of a 3D object with six times faster speed than the conventional algorithm is presented. In the conventional algorithm, a 3D object is sliced into many layers and treated as a collection of self-illuminated point light source. The propagation process of a light ray from every point of an object to all the points on the hologram plane is simulated and interfered with by the reference beam to form a CGH. In our proposed method, under the assumption that the depth of a 3D object is much smaller than the recording distance, we just need to calculate the oblique distance between the first layer and the hologram plane, and then the oblique distances from the other layers to the hologram plane can be obtained from a simple relation, thus the computational time is much reduced. The CGH is optically reconstructed and the quality of the reconstructed image agrees well with that from the conventional algorithm. © 2012 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

  Abstract:The key innovation in Hadamard transform spectral imager (HTSI) introduced recently is the use of digital micro-mirror device (DMD) to encode spectral information. However, because the size of individual micro-mirrors does not match the detector pixel size or for other unavoidable errors in the optical design and the system assembling, an interlaced encoding phenomenon appears on some pixels of the encoded images obtained from the detector. These interlaced encoding pixels are not encoded based on Hadamard transform, so they should be processed specially in spectrum recovery. This paper analyzes the interlaced encoding phenomenon and proposes a positioning method and a decoding method for the interlaced encoding pixels on the encoded images. In our experiment, we direct a beam of laser into our HTSI and fill the entire field of view; by observing the column vector, which is made up of the gray values of a pixel on the encoded images from the detector in sequence, the interlaced encoding pixels can be distinguished easily and a coefficient is obtained simultaneously, which denotes the ratio of the area between the left part and the right part of the interlaced encoding pixel. By substituting the coefficient and the encoded gray values of the interlaced pixel into its encoding equation, we can recover the spectral elements of the interlaced pixel with ease. By comparing the spectral curve of the interlaced encoding pixels recovered by the method mentioned in this paper and the spectral curves of its two adjacent pixels, we find the decoding results are quite effective. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.
