  Abstract:Diffraction image technology is an updated technology. It has more potential for developing the larger aperture and lightweight telescope than the conventional refractive and reflective optics. In order to develop a large aperture diffractive telescope, the key is to solve the problem of large aperture lens stitching. Different stitching patterns have different effects on the image quality. However, the stitching pattern for diffractive telescope is different from the conventional refractive and reflective telescope. This paper, for the first time, studies the theory of stitching pattern for diffractive telescope. On the basis of theoretical analysis, a long-wavelength infrared diffractive telescope of segmented-lens is designed and for the first time, good results through stitching experiments have been achieved. According to theoretical analysis and experiment verification, the paper gives the best stitching pattern on diffractive telescope. © 2014 Copyright SPIE.

  Title:Generation of bidirectional stretched pulses in a nanotube-mode-locked fiber laser
  
  Author(s):Yao, Xiankun(1)
  Source: Applied Optics  Volume: 53  Issue: 1  DOI: 10.1364/AO.53.000027  Published: January 1, 2014  
  Abstract:The bidirectional stretched pulses in a nanotube-based erbium-doped fiber laser are observed experimentally for the first time to our best knowledge. The proposed fiber laser generates two stable pulse trains in opposite directions with different central wavelengths, pulse widths, and repetition rates. In addition, the bidirectional operations with the same central wavelengths are also demonstrated by changing the polarization controller and pump power. Experimental results suggest that the cavity asymmetries together with the fiber birefringence play key roles in the formation of these unique features. © 2014 Optical Society of America.

  Abstract:A phase retrieval method by using single-shot dual-wavelength digital holography is proposed. Each single wavelength hologram is extracted from the color CCD recorded hologram at one exposure, and the unwrapped phase image of object can be reconstructed directly. Different from the traditional multiple wavelength phase unwrapping techniques, any single complex wavefronts at different wavelengths have no need to be calculated any more. Thus, the phase retrieval is computationally fast and straightforward, and the limitations on the total optical path difference are significantly relaxed. The practicability of the proposed method is demonstrated by both simulated and experimental results. © 2014 IOP Publishing Ltd.

  Abstract:In this paper, highly uniform and well-dispersed CaF2 microsphere with tunable particles size have been successfully synthesized by a facile hydrothermal process using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium as a complexing reagent. The XRD results indicated that the as-prepared microspheres were of cubic phases and had good crystallinity and purity. The TEM and SEM results reveal that monodisperse and uniform hollow sphere with rough surfaces can be prepared by this approach. In addition, Ce3+/Tb 3+-codoped CaF2 sphere can be prepared similarly. Excitation and emission spectra are shown that the samples can absorb ultraviolet light and emit light at 335 nm. In the emission spectrum, it is clear that emission intensity of Ce3+ decreases with increasing Tb3+, it shows that efficient energy transfer from Ce3+ to Tb3+ may occur. It significantly improves the absorption range and intensity of the samples. That is extremely useful and has potential application value in display, light, laser, optical information transfer, scintillator and optoelectronic devices.

  Title:Tag-Saliency: Combining bottom-up and top-down information for saliency detection

  Abstract:In the real world, people often have a habit tending to pay more attention to some things usually noteworthy, while ignore others. This phenomenon is associated with the top-down attention. Modeling this kind of attention has recently raised many interests in computer vision due to a wide range of practical applications. Majority of the existing models are based on eye-tracking or object detection. However, these methods may not apply to practical situations, because the eye movement data cannot be always recorded or there may be inscrutable objects to be handled in large-scale data sets. This paper proposes a Tag-Saliency model based on hierarchical image over-segmentation and auto-tagging, which can efficiently extract semantic information from large scale visual media data. Experimental results on a very challenging data set show that, the proposed Tag-Saliency model has the ability to locate the truly salient regions in a greater probability than other competitors. © 2013 Elsevier Inc.

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

  Title:Part-based online tracking with geometry constraint and attention selection

  Abstract:Visual tracking in condition of occlusion, appearance or illumination change has been a challenging task over decades. Recently, some online trackers, based on the detection by classification framework, have achieved good performance. However, problems are still embodied in at least one of the three aspects: 1) tracking the target with a single region has poor adaptability for occlusion, appearance or illumination change; 2) lack of sample weight estimation, which may cause overfitting issue; and 3) inadequate motion model to prevent target from drifting. For tackling the above problems, this paper presents the contributions as follows: 1) a novel part-based structure is utilized in the online AdaBoost tracking; 2) attentional sample weighting and selection is tackled by introducing a weight relaxation factor, instead of treating the samples equally as traditional trackers do; and 3) a two-stage motion model, multiple parts constraint, is proposed and incorporated into the part-based structure to ensure a stable tracking. The effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed tracker is validated upon several complex video sequences, compared with seven popular online trackers. The experimental results show that the proposed tracker can achieve increased accuracy with comparable computational cost. © 2013 IEEE.

  Abstract:Owing to the excellent feature of ultrahigh temporal resolution, the streak image tube has been the indispensable scientific instrument for the application to measurement of ultrafast phenomena on subpicosecond time scale. In this paper, a new femtosecond streak image tube with both high temporal and spatial resolution is designed. To improve its integrated performance, a pair of traveling wave deflectors is located before a magnetic solenoid lens in the tube, which minimizes the electron transit time from anode to deflection plates and therefore reduces time dispersion and space charge effects. Using CST microwave studio finite element method, bandwidth and deflection sensitivity of traveling wave deflector have been studied numerically. The result shows that the wide bandwidth of the traveling wave deflectors designed is beneficial to slow down the electrical deflecting pulse to match the beam velocity in a wide frequency range, which can improve the deflection sensitivity. After tracing the trajectory of electrons and calculating the modulation transform function, we get temporal resolution of 220 fs and spatial resolution above 100 lp/mm. Based on the aberration theory, the aberration formulas of electron trajectory are deduced, which systematically evaluate the imaging quality of streak image tube with modulation transfer function. Finally, static experiment is carried out, and the result shows that the static spatial resolution is better than 35 lp/mm. © 2014 Chinese Physical Society.

  Abstract:We propose a novel type of triangular lattice terahertz photonic crystal fiber with high birefringence and low dispersion in a wide spectrum range. The proposed structures have circular and elliptical air holes in the cladding. Properties of birefringence, confinement loss, and group velocity dispersion have been studied by using full-vector finite-element methods. Through adjusting the structural parameters of the photonic crystal fiber, birefringence up to 10-3 could be achieved in the frequency range of 0.1-5 THz. Moreover, group velocity dispersion curve in this frequency range is flat and the values are nearly zero. Therefore, it can be used to transmit broadband THz pulses with the polarization maintained. © 2014 IOP Publishing Ltd.
