    Abstract:
    Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) with anomalous dispersion in short wavelength region are significant for some applications, such as short wavelength soliton propagation, super continuum generation and short pulse fiber lasing. In this paper, a systematic method for designing PCFs with required anomalous dispersion region is proposed by using a finite difference solver and the scaling transformation of the waveguide dispersion of PCFs. Designed PCF can be anomalously dispersive in the region less than 1.3 μm, which is very difficult to realize in the traditional standard single-mode fibers. The effectiveness of the proposed method is approved by numerical results.

    Abstract:
    Interface characteristics possess very important influence on the performance of thin film devices. ITO/PTCDA/p-Si thin film device was set up with vacuum evaporation and sputter deposition method. The surface and interface electron states of ITO/PTCDA/p-Si were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and argon ion beam etch techniques. Results indicate that at the interface of ITO/PTCDA/p-Si, not only ITO/PTCDA-Si but also PDCDA-Si can produce diffusion. Moreover, the XPS spectra of each atom appear chemical shifts, and the chemical shifts of Ols and Ols are more remarkable.

    Abstract:
    S-band gain flattened distributed fiber Raman amplifier with a bandwidth from 1 488 nm to 1 541 nm (53 nm in width), an averaged gain of 10 dB and a gain ripple of ±0.6 dB is obtained successfully, in which a single-wavelength high power fiber Raman laser with wavelength of 1 427.2 nm is used as the pump and the chirped fiber Bragg grating is used as the gain flattening filter. Besides, filter wavelength division multiplexer (FWDM) is used as the multi-signal multiplexer and 1 427 nm/1 505 nm coarse wavelength division multiplexer (CWDM) is used as the pump-signal coupler. The gain media are G652 fiber of 50 km in length and dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) of 5 km in length. Moreover, the location arrangements of different type of fibers and the effect caused by gain flattening filter as well as their solutions are discussed in detail. It is very significant to extend the range of optical fiber communication band and increase the capacity of fiber communication especially for ultra-long haul and ultra-high capacity communication system.

    Abstract:
    Formulas of the transfer functions are presented for a series-coupled microring resonant filter and the filtering characteristics of this device are investigated around the central wavelength of 1.55 μm. The simulation results show that when the number of the microring is 4, the amplitude coupling ratio between the channel and the microring is 0.25, that between two microrings is 0.022, and the flat box-like spectral response can be formed. The 3-dB bandwidth is about 0.2 nm, the insertion loss is about 1.5 dB, and the minimum of non-resonant light is close to −150 dB.

    Abstract:
    Silicon thin films with different crystalline ratio(Xc) have been deposited by varying silane content(SC) of reactive gases in the RF-PECVD process. The effects of silane content on performance of the materials and the relationship between microstructure and opto-electronic properties were studied by means of Raman measurements, photoconductivity (σph), and dark conductivity (σd), followed by the measurements of light absorption coefficient (α), the product of quantum efficiency, mobility and lifetime (ημτ), before, during and after light soaking, respectively. The results indicate that the microcrystalline silicon near the transition region is suitable to prepare microcrystalline silicon of device grade, and that the amorphous region of the material is responsible to the light induced degradation.

    Abstract:
    In this paper, the low and the high frequency noises of a laser diode have been analyzed. Based on the analysis a novel scheme that adapts analog and digital hybrid techniques is proposed to stabilize the output power of a laser diode.

    Abstract:
    We present a novel and efficient L-band wavelength-tunable Er3+ doped fiber laser of ring structure. In the cavity two segments of Er3+ doped fiber and a fiber Bragg grating are used to improve pump efficiency. Tunable filters based on fiber loop mirrors are also applied inside the cavity to act as both a wavelength selector and a line-width compressor. Using these techniques, a tunable laser with tuning range up to 42 nm, output power larger than 1 mW, power uniformity controlled within 1.75 dB and side mode suppression ratio about 40 dB is achieved.

    Abstract:
    Based on the method of vector-field analysis, the relationship between the core-mode/cladding-mode coupling constantk 1v-11cl-co and mode orderv is studied. It could be seen that the coupling constants of thel=1 low-orderHE cladding modes are larger than that of thel=1 low-orderEH cladding modes whenv≤41. For cladding modes withv>41, the coupling constants of thel=1 low-orderHE andEH modes are comparable to reach other. The plotted local intensity curves of the six lowest-order (l=1) cladding modes show that the low-orderHE modes have a larger proportion of intensity located in the core than the low-orderEH modes. Further, the relationship between the coupling constantk 1v-11cl-co and the film refractive index as well as the film thickness is studied. The results indicate that the coupling constant changes monotonously with the film refractive index changing. As the film thickness increases, the coupling constant decreases slowly with irregularly changes in a certain region of the film thickness, which matches the experimental results of Nicholas D. R.

    13  Adaptive optical design in surface plasma resonance sensor

    [Abstract](3606) [HTML](0) [PDF 0.00 Byte](171)
    Abstract:
    A double-prism adaptive optical design in surface plasma resonance (SPR) sensor is proposed, which consists of two identical isosceles right-triangular prisms. One prism is used as a component of Kretschmann configuration, and the other is for regulation of the optical path. When double-prism structure is angle-scanned by an immovable incident ray, the output ray will be always parallel with the incident ray and just has a small displacement with the shift of output point. The output ray can be focused on a fixed photodetector by a convex lens. Thus it can be avoided that a prism and a photodetector rotate by θ and 2θ respectively in conventional angular scanning SPR sensor. This new design reduces the number of the movable components, makes the structure simple and compact, and makes the manipulation convenient.

    Abstract:
    In this paper, a novel method of laser beam deflecting is introduced to improve the spatial resolution of an acoustic-optic deflector (AOD). We use double AOD (DAOD) to control laser beam. Compared with single AOD, the double AOD can improve speed and precision of target tracking and pointing significantly. Finally, a method of calculating the static and dynamic number of resolvable poins (NRP) is and it is supported by the experimental data excellently.

    Abstract:
    Theoretical analysis of the fiber-lens TEC (Thermally Expended Core)/Coreless/GRIN (Graded-Index) based on thin lens equivalence is presented in this paper. On condition that the TEC part adjusts the waist radius of an incident Gaussian beam, that the coreless part controlls the space between the beam waist and the thin lens, and that the GRIN part acts as the thin lens with its focal length determined by fiber index distribution parametereg, the analytic expressions of the waist spot size and the working distance of the output Gaussian beam are derived, and the influence of the coreless fiber and the length of the GRIN fiber upon the fiber-lens parameter is discussed based on the numerical simulation results. It is concluded that, if a GRIN style fiber-lens is used as a collimator, the maximum of the spot waist can be up to 80 μm and the divergence angle of single-mode optical fiber can be reduced by 8 times. If it is applied to a MEMS device, the maximum working distance can be up to 3 mm.

    [Abstract](4060) [HTML](0) [PDF 0.00 Byte](169)
    Abstract:
    Sb2O3 doped ZnO thin film was prepared by RF magnetron sputtering technique. The influence of Sb2O3 on the structure and the optical absorption of ZnO thin film was studied by XPS,XRD apparatuses and UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The results show that doped Sb2O3 has affected atomic and electronic structures,growth modes of crystal grains and optical absorption of ZnO. The element Sb exists in many forms in the film including transpositional atoms and compounds such as Sb2O3, Zn7Sb2O14 etc. ZnO crystal grains grow in mixing directions. The lattice relaxation and the content of second phases increase when more Sb is doped. The UVA absorption of doped ZnO thin film increases obviously. The ultraviolet absorption peak narrows, absorption intensity increases, the absorption margin becomes steep and moves to shorter wavelength of about 5 nm, and the visible absorption increases in some sort.

    Abstract:
    A scheme of WDM+OCDMA system employing optical hard-limiter (OHL) is proposed, and its performance of normalized throughput is analyzed. The upper bound of the normalized throughput is obtained when all the simultaneous users are equally allocated to different wavelength channels. The lower bound of the normalized throughput is obtained when all the simultaneous users are firstly allocated to the same wavelength channels. Compared with the performance of WDM+OCDMA system without OHL, both the upper bound and lower bound of the normalized throughput in WDM+OCDMA system with OHL can be improved.

    Abstract:
    Our work is based on the known research results of inherent optical quality of ocean color constituents. According to optimized parameters and induced fluorescence term of chlorophyll, this paper puts forward a remote sensing reflectance model of sea water, which is fitted in Liaodong Bay of Bohai. An inverse model that can evaluate redtide biomass according to chlorophyll retrieval is provided by inducing a functional extreme problem. The calculation example of the model indicates that the inversion model has explicit mathematic and physical meaning, but its practicability needs to be verified.

    Abstract:
    A new algorithm for iterative reconstruction is suggested. It is named simple self-correlative algebraic reconstruction technique (SSART). With numerical simulation experiments, SSART was applied in reconstructing a non-ideal-bordered field in order to test its reconstructive effect. For contrast, three current representative algebraic reconstruction(ARTs) including basic ART, simultaneous ART (SART) and modified SART (MSART) were simulated simultaneously. The calculated results and reconstructive accuracy are discussed with three kinds of error indexes, namely mean-square error (MSE), absolute value error (AVE) and peak error (PE). As the results, the indexes of reconstructive accuracy are much improved by the proposed SSART. The MSE and PE have been decreased by 63.6% on the order of magnitude 10−4 and 88.9% on the order of magnitude 0–2, respectively, compared to that of ART. It is concluded that SSART is one of the most super iterative reconstructing techniques.

    Abstract:
    A method for reconstructing 3-D motion of coronary arteries from single-plane X-ray angiogram sequences on two approximately orthogonal views is proposed. 2-D motion is firstly estimated separately along vascular centerlines extracted from angiographic projection pairs. The 3-D displacement vector of each arterial skeleton point at one instant is then reconstructed by calculating the spatial coordinates of its two ends from corresponding projections. 3-D configuration and dynamics of arteries are finally characterized. The effectiveness of the algorithm has been demonstrated on vascular phantom images and clinical angiograms and results are encouraqing.

    [Abstract](3555) [HTML](0) [PDF 0.00 Byte](174)
    Abstract:
    A new way based on a modified bubble function and stationary wavelet transform (SWT) is proposed to solve the problem that the conventional edge detection algorithms are sensitive to the noises. Firstly, the traditional bubble function is modified in order to get different time-frequency domain responses and to get filtering effects through adjusting the parameters. Secondly, the modified bubble function is combined with SWT to construct a multiresolution network. By using the modified bubble function to enhance the edges and by using SWT to reduce the noises, the edges can be extracted accurately, effectively and quickly with lower noise. Finally, the experimental results of the proposed edge detection algorithm are verified to be better than that with the traditional bubble function.

    [Abstract](3568) [HTML](0) [PDF 0.00 Byte](177)
    Abstract:
    A method based on the wavelet transform is proposed for processing white light Interferograms from optical fiber interferometers. With this method, the envelope and the zero optical path difference (ZO-PD) of white light interferograms are obtained with high accuracy. The results agree well with those obtained by the method of center of gravity. Reasons for the insensitivity to noises of this method are discussed. The method is expected to be useful when processing white light interferograms from optical fiber interferometers, especially with low signal-to-noise ratio.

    Abstract:
    The enhancement effect of the phase-conjugate wave produced by a third order nonlinear optical medium in a(AB) N (D)2 (BA)N Bragg microcavity made of one-dimensional photonic crystals is studied. The gain factor of the phase-conjugate wave is derived when the resonance condition is satisfied by the incident optical wave and the Bragg microcavity mode. Because of stronger resonance enhancement to incident pump beam given by the Bragg microcavity, the enhancement effect of the phase-conjugate wave produced by a third order nonlinear optical medium inside Bragg microcavity is more outstanding than that caused by the naked third order nonlinear optical medium. The theoretical analysis and the numerical calculation show the Bragg microcavity with larger numberN of periods is identical with a Fabry-Perot cavity when the resonance condition is satisfied by the incident optical wave and the Bragg microcavity mode.
