  Abstract:For optical tweezers, a tiny focal spot of the trapping beam is necessary for providing sufficient intensity-gradient force. This condition results in a limited small trapping range to guarantee stable trapping of the particle. Exploiting structured light, i.e., an optical vortex beam, the trapping range can be enlarged by adjusting its doughnut ring diameter. However, the trapped particle scarcely remains static due to the optical spanner action of the orbital angular momentum of the vortex beam. To enlarge the trapping range and simultaneously ensure stable trapping, we propose a beam, referred to as a mirror-symmetric optical vortex beam (MOV). Essentially, MOV is constructed by using two opposite optical spanners and a pair of static optical tweezers. The optical spanners attract the particle to the site of the static optical tweezers, which realizes long-range optical trapping. Through detailed force-field analysis, it is found that MOV could perform these setting functions. In experiments, yeast cells are manipulated in a long range of ∼25 μm, which is 3 times longer than that of the Gaussian beam. Further, the trapping range is easily adjusted by changing a parameter as desired. This technique provides versatile optical tweezers, which will facilitate potential applications for particle manipulation. © 2019 Author(s).

  Abstract:The aperture of space remote sensing camera is increasing, and the demand for lighter weight is getting higher and higher. With the advancement of active optics, the thickness of optical components has gradually grown to light and thin. It is extremely difficult to develop ultrathin mirrors using brittle materials such as traditional optical glass and silicon carbide. Due to advantages such as low density, high specific stiffness, low thermal expansion coefficient, toughness, and additive rapid manufacturing properties, carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is one of potential applications for large-diameter ultra-thin mirrors. However, the carbon fiber composite material is a two-phase material that cannot be used as optical surface and must be surface-modified. In this paper, the surface modification of CFRP substrate was carried out by chemical nickel plating and nickel electroplating. The modified nickel layer covers all surfaces of CFRP substrate, and nickel layers satisfying the thickness, bonding force, and internal stress requirements. A Φ100 mm aperture ultra-thin carbon fiber mirror developed, after optical fabricating, its surface accuracy RMS is better than λ/15. Thermal deformation analysis and test show that the thermal deformation of ultra-thin carbon fiber mirrors is mainly manifested by the change of radius of curvature, which is caused by the thickness error of the nickel layer on the front and rear faces. In addition, although thermal deformation caused by the lamination angle error of CFRP substrate is relatively small in value, it should still be given enough attention, because the astigmatic error produced is hard to eliminate. © 2018 Elsevier GmbH

  Abstract:Based on the application requirements of high-speed optical data multi-hop transmission in free-space optical communication network, and aiming at the problem that the signal quality of phasemodulated laser link after long -distance transmission in space degraded, the all-optical phase regeneration for binary phase shift keying modulated high-rate signal, based on the phase-sensitive fourwave mixing (FWM) effect in high nonlinear fiber (HNLF) was proposed. Numerical analysis with Matlab was carried out to find out the factors affecting the regeneration results. Then based on the OptiSystem simulation tool, an all-optical phase regeneration system for a 10 Gbit/s differential phase shift keying (DPSK) optical signal was constructed. Combining the link budget for geosynchronous (GEO) to optical ground station (OGS), system performance in three situations, namely back-to-back (B2B), phase-noised as well as noised-and-regenerated, were compared and analyzed. Simulation results and numerical analysis results show that compared with the system without regeneration after degradation, the bit-error-ratio (BER) of the noised-and-regenerated system improves nearly 4 orders of magnitude, while the output optical signal-to-noise-ratio (OSNR) increases nearly 3 dB. The results indicate that all-optical phase regeneration in free-space optical communication system can achieve all-optical phase regeneration of phase modulation signal. It can effectively promote the performance of spatial coherent laser communication system and can be used in the all -optical data relay of high speed free -space optical communication network relay nodes. © 2019, Editorial Board of Journal of Infrared and Laser Engineering.

  Abstract:This report demonstrates a dual-wavelength stable Q-switched Er-doped fiber (EDF) laser with a reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-based saturable absorber. The rGO is prepared by depositing the graphene oxide on fluorine mica (FM) using a thermal reduction method. The modulation depth and saturable intensity of rGO/FM are measured to be 5.8% and 73.6 MW cm-2. By employing the rGO/FM film in the EDF laser cavity, stable dual-wavelength Q-switching operation is achieved. The two wavelength peaks locate at 1531.84 nm and 1558.14 nm. The shortest pulse duration is 1.83 μs. The maximum output power is measured to be 14.65 mW, corresponding to the maximum single pulse energy of 154.34 nJ. The experimental results evidently show that the rGO is a promising type of nonlinear material. © 2019 Astro Ltd.

  Abstract:We propose a novel scheme of simultaneous polarization separation and switching, based on the orthogonally-polarized four-wave mixing (FWM) effect, for ultra-high-speed polarization multiplexing (Pol-MUX) fiber networks such as 100-Gbps and 400-Gbps backbone networks. We use theoretical and experimental analysis of the vector theory of FWM to successfully achieve polarization separation and all-optical switching by utilizing a 100-Gbps dual polarization-quadrature phase shift keying (DP-QPSK) signal and two orthogonally-polarized pumps. Both of the polarization-separated QPSK signals have clear constellation diagrams, with root mean square (RMS) error vector magnitudes (EVMs) of 14.32% and 14.11% respectively. The wavelengths of idlers can be created at 30 different wavelengths, which are consistent with International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication (ITU-T) wavelengths, by flexibly changing the wavelength of the pump light. Moreover, the idlers that have distinct wavelengths have power distributed in a range from -10 dBm to -15 dBm, which can support error-free transmission. The power penaltyis 5 dB lower than that of back-to-back (BTB) signal for both the X- and Y-polarization components measured at a bit error ratio (BER) of 3.8×10-3. Our experimental results indicate that this scheme has promising applications in future backbone networks. © 2019 Chinese Physical Society and IOP Publishing Ltd.

  Abstract:In these years, the task of fast unsupervised feature selection attracts much attentions with the increasing number of data collected from the physical world. To speed up the running time of algorithms, the bipartite graph theory has been applied in many large-scale tasks, including fast clustering, fast feature extraction, etc. Inspired by this, we present a novel bipartite graph based fast feature selection approach named Efficient Unsupervised Feature Selection (EUFS). Compared to the existing methods focusing on the same topic, EUFS is advanced in two aspects: (1) we learn a high-quality discrete indicator matrix for these unlabelled data by virtue of bipartite graph based spectral clustering, instead of obtaining an implicit cluster structure matrix; (2) we learn a row-sparse matrix for evaluating features via a generalized uncorrelated regression model supervised by the achieved indicator matrix, which succeeds in exploring the discriminative and uncorrelated features. Correspondingly, the features selected by our model could achieve an excellent clustering or classification performance while maintaining a low computational complexity. Experimentally, the results of EUFS compared to five state-of-the-art algorithms and one baseline on ten benchmark datasets verifies its efficiency and superiority. © 2019

  Abstract:The surface morphology and microstructure of fiber preform taper zones and fibers with different fluorine content and waveguide structure were characterized by stereomicroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy. The loss and laser transmission efficiency of large-core fibers with fluorine-doped cladding were analyzed by fiber analysis system and self-made output laser probe. The results show that the fluorine volatilization phenomenon becomes more obvious with the increase of fluorine content. As a result, the surface defects of traditional large-core fibers with fluorine-doped cladding increase, such as cracks and pits. Simultaneously, the fiber loss increases slightly and the laser transmission efficiency decreases. Moreover, the fluorine volatilization and crystallization during the fabrication process of large-core fibers with fluorine-doped cladding are effectively suppressed through subsidence fluorine-doped inner cladding design. Thus, the fiber loss at 1 200 nm is 3.99 dB/km, and the laser transmission efficiency at 2 μm of flat and spherical fibers is 88.9% and 88.4%, respectively. It can be obviously seen that its property is better than that of traditional fibers. © 2019, Science Press. All right reserved.

  Abstract:Raman lasers based on mid-infrared (IR) fibers that operate at the 3-5 µm atmospheric transparency windows are attractive sources for many important applications. In this work, a Raman laser operating in the mid-IR range at 4.3 µm based on an As2Se3 fiber pumped by a 3.92 µm fiber laser has been designed and systematically optimized. The influences of pump power, fiber length, and output coupling efficiency on laser performance are investigated. Simulation results show that a fiber length of 0.75-1.3 m and an output coupler reflectivity of 89%-98% could obtain the optimized output power. The maximum output power of 0.269 W was obtained at a pump power of 1.5 W. The simulated result can be used for theoretical guidance and design optimization of practical chalcogenide fiber Raman lasers. © 2019 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement

  Abstract:To realize ultra-lightweight ratio, mirrors were fabricated with CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced plastic composites) by replication technology. The replication technology was aimed to improve surface accuracy. Though replication technique, the surface accuracy was improved to 0.098 λ (λ=632.8nm, RMS), and the roughness of 1.9 nm (Ra) can be achieved. The CFRP mirror presented poor dimension stability, the surface accuracy increased gradually in air. In order to solve this problem, a polymer coating was carried on mirror surface. The polymer coating exhibited better dimension stability, the surface accuracy can be maintained under 0.15 λ for more than 200 days. © 2019 SPIE.
