  Abstract:In this paper, the feasibility of a sCMOS camera for astrometric exoplanet detection space mission was evaluated and the evaluation methods were also studied. A 2k x 2k single-chip sCMOS camera was installed on the metrology testbed for the space mission. The pixel size of the detector is 11μm, corresponding to 1.86 arcsec on the focal plane. The sCMOS camera runs with a electronic rolling shutter. We tested the performance of the camera in detail, including the gain, linearity, readout noise, dark current, pixel response non-uniformity, etc. The data acquisition performance for the pseudo-star and the interference fringes are also studied. © 2017 SPIE.

  Abstract:The inhomogeneity of scattering medium distorts the propagation of the waves, which has been detrimental to the performance of optical imaging. The operating time of the traditional solutions will be very long as the scanning is necessary during the imaging. A recovery solution based on spatial optical transmission matrix has been proposed. With the acquiring of the spatial optical transmission matrix, the incident object wave will be recovered directly from the distorted transmitted wave, in this way, only a single shot is needed during the imaging. The effectiveness of this method has been proved by the simulation and experiment, the principle is simpler and the algorithm is more efficient, which are beneficial to the imaging through the scattering medium. © 2017 SPIE-OSA.

  Title:3 W narrow-linewidth ultra-short wavelength operation near 1707 nm in thulium-doped silica fiber laser with bidirectional pumping

  Abstract:We have developed an ultra-short wavelength operation of all-fiber Tm-doped laser system, in which the laser system was structured in a FBGs based linear cavity with FBG associated bidirectional pump mechanism at 1550 nm. The laser yielded 3.15 W of continuous-wave output at 1706.75 nm with a narrow-linewidth of ~50 pm. A high reflectivity FBG (HR-FBG) at 1550 nm was used to reflect the residual pump light and achieve the bidirectional pump mechanism. The maximum slope efficiency was improved from 23.2% without HR-FBG to 42.1% with HR-FBG at 1550 nm and the lowest pump threshold was reduced from 1.6 to 0.8 W accordingly. In the experiment, we have also investigated the dependencies of the slope efficiencies and pump threshold of the laser versus the length of active fiber and reflectivity of the output mirror (FBG) in detail. It is indisputable that the development of 1.7 μm silicate fiber lasers with Watt-level output power will open up a number of promising application windows. © 2017, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.

  Abstract:With the increasing popularity of traffic-intensive video applications, UDNs are treated as one of the most promising technologies for massive video delivery. However, due to the drastic interference between neighboring cells, how to achieve high energy and spectrum efficiency is still an open and challenging problem. This work proposes a systematic solution for content delivery over UDNs by integrating collaboration with intelligence. In particular, we first design a hybrid video coding scheme that is flexible and robust to the dynamic wireless environment. Then an active and proactive video update strategy is designed by intelligently alleviating the impact of the interference. Finally, a collaborative video scheduling scheme is developed to maximize the video quality as well as the energy and spectrum efficiency. Importantly, we summarize three fundamental design guidelines, and believe that they are useful for improving the transmission capacity of UDNs. © 1979-2012 IEEE.

  Abstract:A reconfigurable microwave photonic filter (MPF) based on an integrated Kerr comb source was proposed and demonstrated. By employing an on-chip micro-ring resonator (MRR), a broadband Kerr comb with a large number of comb lines was generated and used as a high-quality multi-wavelength source for the MPF, which greatly reduced the size and cost. The enhanced performance of the MPF was theoretically analysed and systematically characterized. Due to the large channel number and high reconfigurability of the scheme, the MPF features an improved Q factor and wideband tunability. The experimental results matches well with theory, verifying the feasibility of our approach as a solution towards implementing highly reconfigurable MPFs with reduced system complexity. © COPYRIGHT SPIE.
