Coherent optical systems face two main categories of linear impairments, chromatic dispersion (CD) and polarization mode dispersion (PMD). Both CD and PMD will create large inter-symbol interference (ISI). This paper focuses on M-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signal detection directly using Echo State Networks (ESN) technique for compensating (residual CD and PMD) dispersion of coherent optical systems. The proposed approach can estimate directly the input sequence at the coherent receivers, without getting the electronic equalizer coefficients and estimating optical channel impulse response. In addition, the proposed approach can guarantee a convergence within a short data packet.

Aimed to establish a Raman lidar system with high-reliability and high anti-interference performance, an newly all-fiber spectroscopic Raman lidar system was proposed for atmospheric water vapor measurement, in which optical fiber couplers, fiber band-width filters and fiber F-P filters constitute the all-fiber spectroscopic system. On the basis of the design of fiber F-P filters and its transmission analysis, the series connection of optical fiber coupler is designed as fiber optics splitter, which is not only to obtain fiber coupling of the input and output of lidar returns, and also to achieve the optimal energy output ratio at three fiber channels. Furthermore, fiber band-width filters are proposed to replace the dichroic mirrors, and the structure of fiber band-width filters and fiber F-P filters is to constitute the secondary cascade filter system, achieving the fine extraction of interested spectrum and high rejection rate to elastic scattering signals. Preliminary test results indicated that, the energy at the three output ports is %sim;5: 2.5: 2.5, and the two fiber band-width filters are provided with the central wavelength of 606nm and 660nm, the bandwidth of 20nm, and the out of band inhibition of >0.5%, which met the design requirements. The design and results will provide a reliable basis for the integration and experiment of the subsequent all-fiber spectroscopic system.

In this paper, a novel wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) access network has been proposed. Here, the optical protection modules (OPMs) and erbium-doped optical fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) employed in both the central office (CO) and the remote node (RN) enable this WDM access network with broadcasting services not only to achieve high reliability under long-distance transmission but also to scale up easily in the future. Also, this scheme has the feature of Rayleigh Backscattering mitigation. The analysis shows good performance of this network.

Diffractive optical elements (DOEs) can realize beam shaping with higher light efficiency, strong flexibility of diffraction pattern, and is suitable to be used in optical interconnections to split beams. In order to increase the intensity uniformity of the split beams, a hybrid algorithm merging Gerchberg-Saxton (GS) algorithm with gradient method is presented based on the sampling rule different from the existing optimization algorithms. By controlling N extra points with zero amplitude besides the original N sampling points on the input plane, and finally the sampling pitch on the Fourier plane is half of that of the conventional sampling rule. Then the N extra points on the Fourier plane will be controlled. Finally spot array with high intensity uniformity can be realized with the proposed algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate the good performance of the proposed algorithm.

Our study proposes a method of monitoring polarization mode dispersion (PMD) under the influence of chromatic dispersion (CD) and optical signal-to-noise-ratio (OSNR) in the two-dimensional phase diagram, using delay sampling by two-dimensional phase diagram. The result shows that PMD at range of 5ps √km to 37ps √km can be effectively monitored from the interference of CD and OSNR.

According to the transverse intensity distribution of the TEM00 Gaussian light field and character of an irradiance redistribution element, we proposed a novel method, which has the advantages of high light-energy-utilization-ratio (LEUR). The current laser communication (LASCOM) antenna frequently employs the Cassegrain reflective optical structure, in which the secondary mirror will introduce a center obscuration, leading to high ratio of transmitting power loss. To solve this problem, we make the transmitting beam pass through double convex axicons. The Gaussian peak of incident light coming into the central part of such element, will go out from near the peripheral part of the second axicon, and the edge part of Gaussian beam will go out from the central part. When the changed beam passes the Cassegrain structure, the utilizing efficiency will be raised obviously. In the paper, on different obscuration rate, the LEURs of LASCOM system before and after using the axicons are compared. In addition, the far-field intensity distribution of the laser beam changed by the axicon pair and transmitted by the antenna is calculated. The simulation result shows that the LEURs of antenna with and without an axicon pair are 91.7% and 28.9% on a Line obscuration ratio of 1/4. After a propagation of 1000 km, the far-field energy distribution of the hollow beam translated by the high LEUR antenna is closer to a flattop beam than that for the common Gaussian beam.

Clock synchronization is crucial for a practical continuous-variable quantum key distribution system to precisely get the measurement result. Three different synchronization schemes for continuous-variable quantum key distribution system are presented to demonstrate the optimal scheme. The performance of synchronization scheme is evaluated by measuring the excess noise which is the critical parameter for the continuous-variable quantum key distribution system. The experiment results show that distilling the synchronization signal from the local oscillator has the simplest physical implemention and superior effect of synchronization, but a stronger local oscillator is required. Transmitting synchronization signal and quantum signal in the same fiber by wave-length division multiplex is also a fine way to provide stable clock when we take no account of the phsical device and wave-length source.

The fine tracking system is important to improve the performance of orbital angular momentum (OAM) space optical communication system. In order to improve the accuracy and stability of the centroid algorithm, this article proposes a modified algorithm to detect the center position of OAM light beam. The modified algorithm firstly takes a binary-conversion with the threshold based on the intensity profile of OAM beam, and then calculates the center position of the light spot using centroid algorithm. The threshold for binary-conversion of Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beam is obtained by theoretical analysis and numerical calculation. The accuracy, stability and complexity of the modified algorithm are studied by numerical simulation. The results show that the new algorithm, compared with the centroid algorithm, has 2 orders of magnitude higher in computing accuracy and 3∼4 orders of magnitude higher in stability. However, the computing time has increased by about 1.5 times compared with the centroid algorithm.

Optical data center networks are becoming an increasingly promising solution to solve the bottlenecks faced by electrical networks, such as low transmission bandwidth, high wiring complexity, and unaffordable power consumption. However, the optical circuit switching (OCS) network is not flexible enough to carry the traffic burst while the optical packet switching (OPS) network cannot solve the packet contention in an efficient way. To this end, an improved switching strategy named OPS with multi-hop Negative Acknowledgement (MPNACK) is proposed. This scheme uses a feedback mechanism, rather than the buffering structure, to handle the optical packet contention. The collided packet is treated as a NACK packet and sent back to the source server. When the sender receives this NACK packet, it knows a collision happens in the transmission path and a retransmission procedure is triggered. Overall, the OPS-NACK scheme enables a reliable transmission in the buffer-less optical network. Furthermore, with this scheme, the expensive and energy-hungry elements, optical or electrical buffers, can be removed from the optical interconnects, thus a more scalable and cost-efficient network can be constructed for cloud computing data centers.

The device can realize TE0 and TE1 modes multiplexing at wavelengths of 1550nm and 1570nm. According to quasi phase matching, a structure with an asymmetrical parallel waveguide (APW) was used to achieve mode conversion. The transmittance of the TE0 mode at wavelengths of 1550nm and 1570nm are 98.4% and 96.3%, the corresponding insertion loss are 0.07dB and 0.16dB respectively. The crosstalk of the TE0 mode at wavelengths of 1550nm and 1570nm are -27.66dB and -27.32dB respectively. The transmittance of the TE1 mode at wavelengths of 1550nm and 1570nm are 95.8% and 93.9%, the corresponding insertion loss are 0.19dB and 0.27dB respectively. The crosstalk of the TE1 mode at wavelengths of 1550nm and 1570nm are -38.73dB and -38.9dB respectively. The PC-based HMUX has great performance, and it will have great application potential in future ultrahigh-speed and large-capacity communication systems.

We present a quarter-wave plate composed of two pairs of cross-shaped elliptical nanoatennas. This setup can transform linearly polarized incident light to circular polarized light at a wavelength of 862nm. The cross-shaped elliptical configuration can control the amplitude and phase of incident light. By the modulation of the elliptical size, equal amplitude and specific phase difference can be obtained in orthogonal directions. Furthermore, as a quarter-wave plate, this configuration is not sensitive to the polarized direction of the linearly polarized incident beam. In order to verify the designed metasurface, numerical simulation were performed using the finite difference time domain method. Our results may benefit novel photonics devices design such as polarization manipulation, optical sensing, optical detecting, and photonic integration.

The simulation result shows that the theoretical maximum sensitivity of arcMZI gyroscope can be enhanced at least two orders of magnitude compared with the single-bus resonator (SBR) gyroscope for the same footprint and effective loss after equivalent optimization. The arcMZI gyroscope could be of great potential to meet the tactical demands of future inertial navigation.

It demonstrates that the scale factor enhancement in this frequency sensitive optical gyroscope, without increasing the overall footprint, can be improved compared with conventional single ring resonator gyroscope and presents the characteristic of better performance within low-rate range. It implies a broad prospect in highly integrated on-chip applications, especially in aeronautic and astronautic area.

Target detection is one of most important applications in remote sensing. Nowadays accurate camouflage target distinction is often resorted to spectral imaging technique due to its high-resolution spectral/spatial information acquisition ability as well as plenty of data processing methods. In this paper, hyper-spectral imaging technique together with spectral information divergence measure method is used to solve camouflage target detection problem. A self-developed visual-band hyper-spectral imaging device is adopted to collect data cubes of certain experimental scene before spectral information divergences are worked out so as to discriminate target camouflage and anomaly.

It shows that the X-ray absorption spectroscopy contains the potential of other organics recognition or even organisms.

This paper focuses on the stabilization problem for the floated inertial platform experimental system. Based on the moment analysis of the platform and the mode of the main moment, the dynamic equation of the stabilized platform rotating around its center is derived in consideration of some disturbances. To solve the system model uncertainty, measurement noise, three-axial coupling and unmodeled disturbances, the Auto Disturbances Rejection Controller (ADRC) is proposed. In addition, the time delay problem, caused by system wireless transmission, is addressed using an improved ADRC controller. Three-axial stabilized control system model of floated inertial platform experimental system is built by MATLAB/SIMULINK. Simulations indicate that the ADRC controller is better than the traditional PID controller. This controller can stabilize the platform more quickly, more accurately, more robustly and without overshoot. Improved Smith predicting ADRC controller can eliminate the influence of transmission time delay of the system to realize the stability control real-timely. By virtue of this improved controller, this platform can provide an effective inertial reference for the vehicle.

Most existing works on compressive imaging require electronic devices to perform the spatial optical modulation (SOM) or sparsifying transform (ST), which increase the cost and power consumption in field application. For the implementation of compressive imaging with a cheaper cost, the sensing strategy with blocking random pulse sampling (BRPS) is proposed. Instead of using the SOM and ST required by conventional technologies, the BRPS sampling can be achieved by the random unit-pulse in spatial domains. For actual application, the BRPS can be realized by address controlling for CMOS image sensors with a low resolution. For BRPS sampling, the image can be reconstructed by TVAL3. Experimental results show that, the BRPS achieves better reconstruction than conventional compressive sensing with Gaussian random matrix. Therefore, the BRPS contributes to the implementation of compressive sensing with low cost, low power consumption, less memory requirement, and better reconstruction.

The background noise of our system is estimated about 1×10^-3 rad/√Hz.

One of the most important qualifications of laser range finder is the ranging distance. The ranging distance of laser range finder is usually supplied with a atmosphere condition. To reach the qualification of ranging distance, the manufacturers always increase the laser emitting power which the laser range finders can work not only in the ranging distance. It is important to find the real ranging distance in different visibility especially for military application. The maximum ranging distances in different visibility were discussed in the paper.

It could be as based agentia of infrared decoy with the characteristic of persistent and wide spectral range.

Polarization difference imaging can improve the quality of images acquired underwater, whether the background and veiling light are unpolarized or partial polarized. Computational polarization difference imaging technique which replaces the mechanical rotation of polarization analyzer and shortens the time spent to select the optimum orthogonal ǁ and ⊥axes is the improvement of the conventional PDI. But it originally gets the output image by setting the weight coefficient manually to an identical constant for all pixels. In this paper, a kind of algorithm is proposed to combine the Q and U parameters of the Stokes vector through pixel-level image fusion theory based on non-subsample contourlet transform. The experimental system built by the green LED array with polarizer to illuminate a piece of flat target merged in water and the CCD with polarization analyzer to obtain target image under different angle is used to verify the effect of the proposed algorithm. The results showed that the output processed by our algorithm could show more details of the flat target and had higher contrast compared to original computational polarization difference imaging.

CMOS APS sensors suffer from the SNR reduction caused by the decrease in integration time, especially under the case of low light condition and high relative velocity between objects and sensors. In this paper, a new APS circuits architecture by which TDI function is implemented in the analog voltage domain is proposed to overcome this problem. Time delay integration operation is a straightforward method comes from good old CCD sensors in which signals are added in charge packages with low noise. In this design TDI is mainly achieved by the switch capacitor accumulators and corresponding timing sequences implemented by digital logic on chip. The main noise source especially come from analog sample hold capacitors and OPA are analyzed. The offsets and FPNs are reduced by auto-zero operation and double difference sampling. A 16x128 3T TDI pixel arrays has been taped out by CSMC 0.5 um technology. And finally from the simulation results, a 10dB/dec SNR increase in terms of TDI level has been achieved under low light condition.

Traditional second-order correlation reconstruction method required a large number of measurements, in which not only the quality of reconstructed image was poor but also didn't meet the real-time requirements. We combine the total variation with the compressive sensing method to reconstruct the object image in ghost imaging. The paper describes the basic structure of objective function based on total variation regularization and the corresponding compressive sensing recovery algorithm, and take a comparison with the gradient projection based compressive sensing algorithm about the recovery performance. The simulation results show that compressed sensing algorithm based on total variation regularization has a better compared reconstruction performance than algorithm based on gradient projection algorithm in ghost imaging system. Then apply the above algorithms to experimental data of ghost imaging experiment, and finally got the reconstructed images of the target image. The results once again demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the algorithm based on total variation.

Compared with engine afterburning condition, temperature and infrared radiant intensity increases and press has no obvious change.

This paper presents a segmented X-ray spectrum detection method based on a layered X-ray detector in Cadmium Telluride (CdTe) substrate. We describe the three-dimensional structure of proposed detector pixel and investigate the matched spectrum-resolving method. Polychromatic X-ray beam enter the CdTe substrate edge on and will be absorbed completely in different thickness varying with photon energy. Discrete potential wells are formed under external controlling voltage to collect the photo-electrons generated in different layers, and segmented X-ray spectrum can be deduced from the quantity of photo-electrons. In this work, we verify the feasibility of the segmented-spectrum detection mechanism by simulating the absorption of monochromatic X-ray in a CdTe substrate. Experiments in simulation show that the number of photo-electrons grow exponentially with the increase of incident thickness, and photons with different energy will be absorbed in various thickness. The charges generated in different layers are collected into adjacent potential wells, and collection efficiency is estimated to be about 87% for different incident intensity under the 40000V/cm electric field. Errors caused by charge sharing between neighboring layers are also analyzed, and it can be considered negligible by setting appropriate size of electrodes.

This method not only expands the technique of comprehensive data processing but also provides technical support for the use of decision-making data.

As an important and efficient method of particles size measurement, laser scattering has attracted great interest in the last decades. The sheath flow method has received extensive attention for its specific characteristic in cell detection and other fields. In this work, we report on a study of sheath flow method in laser scattering particles size measurement. In the particles size measurement system, an optical fiber laser was used as laser source, the light sensitive was confined to circular region with a diameter of less than 10μm by micro-lens focusing structure. Based on the scattering theoretical analysis of the particle size distribution from the scattering light energy, an improved sheath flow structure is proposed to obtain accurate and reliable scattering light signal from the particle passing through sheath flow pool. The digital voltage signals were measured via the amplification circuit and the data acquisition card. Numerical calculations and experiment results show that the sheath flow system is effective in the laser scattering particles size measurement.

A green optical fiber laser with 532nm was used as the excited light source. As a key part in the detection system, the focusing system using a lens structure to confine light sensitive area with Gauss distribution less than 80 μm². The lateral size of the sample cell is limited to 100μm. In order to measure the particles in non-overlapping state and improve the accuracy and repeatability, a novel structure in the sample cell was used and particle velocity through the sample cell was controlled by high precision stepper motor control system of micro circulation pump. Particle light scattering signal acquisition was completed by the poly lens combination system, according to the receiving angle relative to the measured particle, which can adjust the light scattering direction to obtain better particles light scattering signal. Photoelectric signal conversion, amplification and acquisition are all the devices with high precision. The measurement results showed that the measurement system was accurate and stable when the particles size in the range of 0.5-5μm.

In this paper we analyze the necessity of design of low temperature readout circuit. Since the photodetector should work in low temperature environment, it is necessary for the readout circuit with low temperature readout function. Meanwhile, the influence factors of ultra - low temperature on the CMOS readout circuit are analyzed.

Finally, we used JANIS SHI-4-2 liquid helium cycle refrigeration system as a refrigeration instrument, and do the test for the readout circuit at ultra -low-temperature. When the temperature of cold head of the cooling system reach to the minimum temperature (4.85K) and maintain 5 hours, Si substrate’ temperature reaches the minimum temperature (50.1K). By adjusting the static operating point voltage, we find that the circuit still works well.

The design and analysis of achromatic double-prism scanners for free space laser communication is presented. Double prism canner consists of two independently rotating prisms; the two prisms are parallel and adjacent to each other. Compared with conventional two-axis optical electro-gimbals, the double –prism system has the advantages of high accuracy, compactness and good dynamic performance. But the wavelength of beacon and communication laser is different; the achromatic aberration caused by double prisms will result in alignment error between beacon link and communication link. Design results for the scanner, when used in 800nm and 1550nm demonstrated total fields of view 13 degrees with almost no aberration were presented. This will provide a new lightweight canner for free space laser communication.

When light travels in water, the state of polarization of the incident light changes as the photons are scattered with suspended particles or reflected on the target surface. In order to increase the working distance, underwater polarized light imaging (UPLI) technology usually makes use of the different depolarization effect between the water body and target on the incident polarized light to filter the backscattered light. So it is significant to study the depolarization characteristics of polarized light in water. In this paper, a Field Monte Carlo (EMC) program is developed to simulate the transmission characteristics of polarized light in water with specific particle and attenuation coefficient. EMC method is different from the traditional Monte Carlo method which tracks the Stokes vector of the beam. It uses the Jones mechanism to characterize the polarization state of the photons. By tracking the two vertical components of the photonic vibrating electric vector, the polarization state and the depolarization effect of polarized light transmitted through a body of water can be obtained. The simulation results are based on horizontal polarization, vertical polarization, 45 degree linearly polarized light(LPL) and right circularly polarized light(CPL) as incident light , Stokes vectors of four types of received light is obtained respectively, and the related parameters are calculated to analyze the polarization memory performance. The numerical results show that water body have good polarization memory property and the influence of the particle size and the attenuation coefficient on the LPL is obvious than that circularly of the polarized light, and the CPL has better polarization memory ability.

This paper uses semiconductor laser with 905nm wave length as light source to design a set of short-distance atmospheric laser communication system. This system consists of laser light source, launch modulation circuit, detector, receiving and amplifying circuit and so on. First, this paper analyzes the factors which lead to the decrease of luminous power of laser communication link under the applicable environment-specific sea level, then this paper elicits the relationship of luminous power of receiving optical systems and distance, slant angle and divergence angle which departures from the laser beam axis by using gaussian beam geometric attenuation mode. Based on the two reasons that PPM modulation theory limits the transmission rate of PPM modulation, that is, this paper makes an analysis on repetition frequency and pulse width of laser, makes theoretical calculation for typical parameters of semiconductor laser and gets the repetition frequency which is 10KHz, pulse width is50ns, the transmission rate is 71.66 Kb/s, at this time, modulation digit is 9; then this paper selects frame synchronization code of PPM modulation and provides implementation method for test; lastly, programs language based on Verilog, uses the FPGA development board to realize PPM modulation code and does simulation test and hardware test. This paper uses APD as the detector of receiving and amplifying circuit. Then this paper designs optical receiving circuit such as amplifying circuit, analog-digital conversion circuit based on the characteristics of receipt.

In distributed optical fiber sensing system of BOTDR, the frequency of the backward Brillouin scattering signal is modulated by temperature and strain, so the frequency of the signal can be attained with optical fiber to realize the temperature and strain measurement in remote. While, the scattering signal is very weak, the noise is large, and have a frequency width of several decades megahertz. In tradition, the complete high-frequency Brillouin scattering signal is obtained by adopting the method of frequency scanning which capture the frequency in section through changing the rate of sweep frequency module. And then, using multiple averaging measurement to reduce noise. But it is difficult to acquire the signal rapidly and eliminate the interference of noise. Therefore, an edge filter approach is proposed in this paper to get the whole scattering signal, which convert the frequency information into energy message. In order to better represent the effectiveness of this method, an experiment were taken. And the result shows that: SNR had been greatly enhanced, sampling time was reduced to the cost of getting one frequency point when using frequency scanning. It demonstrate that the proposed method can collect the signal quickly and be beneficial to demodulate temperature and pressure in time.

A distributed optical fiber sensing system based on a bidirectional chaotic fiber ring laser has been proposed. The output waveforms induced by an external disturbance in some period are different from those in other time. This period equals the time difference between two counter-propagating beams arriving at the semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) from the disturbance point. It is utilized for the disturbance location. In this paper, the location mechanism is explored by investigating optical interaction in the SOA in two simulation systems with a continuous wave optical source. One system is for studying the interaction of a continuous wave beam and a phase modulation beam input into the SOA from the left and right sides respectively. The other system is for investigating the interaction of two phase modulation beams counter-arriving at the SOA with a certain time difference. Under a small SOA current, only the transformation of the phase modulation to intensity modulation occurs due to the interference caused by facets reflection of the SOA. With the increase of current, the cross-gain modulation effect of the SOA makes the interference signal in one beam copy to the other one reversely in the phase, which generates the time difference characteristic. For the chaotic sensing system the situation is similar to the large current case in the second simulation system, only the conversion of the modulation format is achieved by the sensitivity to initial values of chaotic systems. The cross-gain modulation effect in the SOA contributes to the time difference location method.
