Hu Yong, Wang Yan, Liu Jiaping, Wang Chen, Cheng Chunyang, Yao feng qi

Abstract: (0) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In this study, to investigate the performance of Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensors in texture classification tasks, a method utilizing two FBG tactile sensors for collecting texture signals is proposed. The sensors are encapsulated in flexible polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) blocks, and optimal encapsulation position is explored using COMSOL Multiphysics finite element simulation software, locating at 2mm from the contact surface of PDMS blocks to enhance the capability of texture information acquisition. Two flexible sensors are attached respectively to the index and middle fingers of a glove, and the glove is worn to directly touch texture samples for acquiring feature waveforms. A sliding window method is employed to traverse signal waveforms to construct feature vector sets. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is applied to reduce redundancy and correlation of feature vector sets, followed by employing Squeeze-and-Excitation Convolutional Neural Network (SE-CNN) for data processing. In classification experiments on eight types of tile surface textures, the dual FBG perception effectively improves classification accuracy, with increases of 11.6% and 8.7% com-pared to single FBG usage, achieving a maximum accuracy of 95.2%. The average classification accuracy of 10-fold cross-validation experiments is 93.7%, which is 7.9% and 9.4% higher than traditional CNN and LSTM models, respectively. The experimental results provide valuable insights for texture recognition in robot fingertip tactile perception.

Abstract:

Fiber femtosecond optical frequency combs (OFCs) play a crucial role in achieving high-precision astronomical spectral calibration in the field of astronomy[1,2]. However, OFCs generated by lasers are susceptible to disturbances from environmental factors and internal vibrations, leading to frequency drift and decreased stability[3,4]. To address these, We develop a closed-loop servo control system utilizing error signals between the OFC and microwave frequency reference to stabilize the frequency. Then we design a remote-control component of the system, enabling real-time monitoring and precise control of the OFC. The results demonstrate that the system we designed not only achieves precise synchronization of the OFC’s carrier-envelope offset frequency with the microwave frequency reference, but also maintains long-term stability of the OFC, facilitating further advancements in high-precision astronomical spectral calibration light sources.

Abstract:

Detecting surface defects on steel, especially in complex loading environments, poses significant challenges. In response, we introduce EDFW-YOLO, an algorithm built upon YOLOv8 specifically designed for detecting surface defects on hot-rolled steel strips. Our method enhances multi-scale feature fusion through the incorporation of the multi-scale con-version module C2f-EMSC. Additionally, we elevate detection accuracy by integrating the Dynamic Head target detection head, the Focal Modulation module, and the WIoU_Loss bounding box regression function. Experimental results on the NEU-DET dataset demonstrate that our optimized YOLOv8 model achieves an average accuracy (mAP) of 77.7%, with a 5.2% increase in network constraint rate. To adapt to different operating environments, it further improved the average accuracy (mAP) to 78.5% through data enhancement. Verification results on PCB defect data show that the algorithm has excellent generalization ability. This optimized algorithm significantly improves the extraction and fusion of surface defect features on hot-rolled strip steel and serves as a valuable reference for surface defect detection in alloy materials.

Abstract:

Cesium lead iodide (CsPbI3) is widely employed as the absorber layer material for perovskite solar cells (PSC) due to its excellent photothermal stability. In comparison to complicated traditional PSC, simplifying the device structure can increase its competitiveness. Here, an ETL-free CsPbI3 PSC were modeled using the Solar Cell Capacitance Simulator (SCAPS) program. The simulation involves a series of parameters optimization, including the thickness, doping concentration, defect density, and permittivity of the FTO electrode, the hole transport layer (HTL), and the perovskite (PVK) layer. Additionally, the defect density at the FTO/PVK interface and the PVK/HTL interface were considered. The study revealed that the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the device is significantly affected by variations in the parameters of the perovskite layer, especially the thickness and defect density. Moreover, the defect density at the contact interfaces also notably influences the device efficiency. After systematic computational optimization, the best device exhibited an open-circuit voltage (VOC) of 1.16 V, a short-circuit current (JSC) of 21.52 mA/cm2, a fill factor (FF) of 87.83 %, and a PCE of 21.9 %, which is close to the full-structured device reported in experiment, demonstrating the potential of all inorganic PSCs with simplified structures.

Abstract:

The current infrared image pedestrian detectors have problems with high rates of false positives and false negatives. To solve these problems, we proposed an improved anchor-free FCOS object detection algorithm. Firstly, we introduced the channel attention module SE-Block in the FCOS backbone network, which was used to learn how to model the relative importance between different feature channels, and to achieve the weight recalibration of the features extracted from the convolution neural network, and improve the weight values that are more important for pedestrian target detection. Secondly, soft non-maximum suppression (soft-NMS) replaced the conventional non-maximum suppression NMS within the algorithm's post-processing phase, which was used to reduce the probability of missed detection for occluded pedestrians. The experimental results show that our improved FCOS algorithm improves the Average Precision(AP) value by 6.71% on the original dataset and 7.97% on the augmented KAIST pedestrian dataset compared with the original FCOS algorithm. Our improvements effectively meet the real-time requirements and there is no significant decrease in speed compared with the original FCOS algorithm, and decreased the false positives and false negatives for infrared image pedestrian detection.

Abstract:

The end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) is crucial for monitoring patients' respiratory function, which reflects the status of lung ventilation and gas exchange. Therefore, achieving accurate measurements of EtCO2 holds significant importance in clinical practice. The measurements of EtCO2 based on wavelength modulation-direct absorption spectroscopy (WM-DAS) had great advantages and the noise reduction of spectrum was very important. An optimized variational mode decomposition (VMD) algorithm improved by the dung beetle optimization?algorithm?and wavelet packet denoising algorithm was proposed to enhance the measurement accuracy of EtCO2 concentration. The dung beetle optimization?algorithm was used to obtain the optimal number of decomposition mode layers K and secondary penalty factor α. The optimal parameters were used to decompose the original transmitted light intensity signal with noise, and a series of intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) were obtained. Pearson correlation coefficient (R) was used to select the pure signal and the noisy signal, and the noisy signal was denoised by wavelet packet denoising algorithm. The transmitted light intensity signal was reconstructed by the signal processed by wavelet packet denoising algorithm and the pure signal. The results showed that the proposed algorithm could effectively remove the noise of signal of transmitted light intensity and improve the accuracy of concentration measurements of EtCO2.

Abstract:

This paper proposes a method that combines etching, masking, and magnetron sputtering techniques to prepare a ring-shaped silver mirror structure on the end face of a standard multimode optical fiber. By utilizing the capillary effect to fill a capillary glass tube with PDMS, a structure consisting of a PDMS cavity and an air cavity is maked, resulting in the achievement of a fiber optic dual Fabry-Perot cavity temperature sensor with a ring-shaped silver mirror structure. When the external temperature changes, both the cavity length and the refractive index of PDMS change, causing variations in the intensity of interference light. The annular silver mirror utilizes its high reflectivity to allow more light to enter the receiving end, resulting in a more pronounced change in photon count. Within the range of 25-80₀^{C, sensitivity of 150.74 cps/}_⁰C and linearity of 0.998 have been achieved. our optical fiber temperature sensor has demonstrated cost-effectiveness, wide range, and high stability in temperature detection through multiple repeated experiments.

Low-subrate sparse reconstruction with threshold-adaptive denoising and basis learning for infrared aerial imagery

Hao Liu, QIU Maoji

Abstract: (0) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In recent years, some model-based block compressive sensing (BCS) algorithms utilize the nonlocal self-similarity prior to obtain good restoration performance from the statistical characteristics of the entire natural image. However, for low-subrate infrared aerial images rather than natural images, these nonlocal-prior reconstruction algorithms are usually less effective than local-prior reconstruction algorithms. Due to the property of infrared aerial imagery, the local prior is sufficient especially for low-subrate BCS reconstruction of infrared aerial images, while its complexity is much lower than nonlocal prior. The typical low-subrates can effectively improve the BCS transmission efficiency and reduce the burden of transmitter hardware. Therefore, this paper proposes a low-subrate sparse reconstruction algorithm with threshold-adaptive denoising and basis learning, which adopts both split Bregman iteration and adaptive threshold to implement the model-based BCS reconstruction for infrared aerial imagery. The experimental results show that as compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms, the proposed algorithm can obtain better recovery quality and less runtime on both HIT-UAV and M200-XT2DroneVehicle datasets.

Hao Liu, Zheng Yongxian

Abstract: (0) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Medical imaging applications are facing increasingly high-definition and big-capacity signal data, which require low-radiation acquisition and prompt processing. Although image compressive sensing (ICS) has significant advantages in reducing observed data, such as lower complexity and small storage burden, it also faces challenges in dealing with different image types such as medical images. This paper firstly analyzes the characteristics of medical images, and then proposes a specialized compressive sensing algorithm called Sparsity-precise Iterative Hard Thresholding (SIHT), which is specifically designed to address their specific features such as low sparsity and low frequency. SIHT adaptively measures sparsity and step length which becomes more precise during the iteration process to achieve a certain quality improvement in medical image reconstruction. Experimental results demonstrate that as compared to other ICS reconstruction algorithms across three different types of medical image datasets (X-Ray, Ultrasound, MRI), SIHT can achieve the best subjective recovery quality particularly in terms of mitigating blocky artifacts and noise, where a notable improvement is obtained in terms of PSNR an SSIM of medical ICS reconstruction.

Abstract: (0) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of low detection accuracy due to the different scale sizes of apple leaf disease spots and their similarity to the background, this paper proposes a multi-scale detection network called MSL-Net. Firstly, a multiplexed aggregated feature extraction network is proposed using RES-Bottleneck and middlepartial-convolution (MP-Conv) to capture multi-scale spatial features and enhance focus on disease features for better differentiation between disease targets and background information. Secondly, a lightweight feature fusion network is designed using scale fuse concat (SF-Cat) and triple scale sequence feature fusion (TSSF) module to merge multi-scale feature maps comprehensively. DWConv and GhostNet lighten the network, while C3-GN reduces missed detections by suppressing irrelevant background information. Finally, Soft-NMS is used in the post-processing stage to improve the problem of misdetection of dense disease sites. The results show that MSL-Net improves mAP@0.5 by 2.0% over the baseline YOLOv5s and reduces parameters by 44%, reducing computation by 27%, outperforming other SOTA models overall. This method also shows excellent performance compared to the latest research.

Abstract:

The rapid advancement of remote sensing technology has heightened concerns over the security of sensitive in-formation. This paper presents an intelligent encryption scheme for remote sensing images using dimensionality variation.

Abstract:

Drone photography is an essential building block of intelligent transportation, enabling wide-ranging monitoring, precise positioning, and rapid transmission. However, the high computational cost of Transformer-based methods in object detection tasks hinders real-time result transmission in drone target detection applications. Therefore, we propose Mask Adaptive Transformers tailored for such scenarios. Specifically, we introduce a structure that sup-ports collaborative token sparsification in support windows, enhancing fault tolerance and reducing computational overhead. This structure comprises two modules: a binary mask strategy and Adaptive Window Self-Attention(A-WSA). The binary mask strategy focuses on significant objects in various complex scenes. The A-WSA mechanism is employed to self-attend for balance performance and computational cost to selected objects and isolate all contextual leakage. Extensive experiments on the challenging CarPK and VisDrone datasets demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method. Specifically, it achieves a mean average precision (mAP@0.5) improvement of 1.25% over CD-yolov5 on the CarPK dataset and a 3.75% mAP@0.5 im-provement over CZ Det on the VisDrone dataset.

Abstract: (1) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Fabry-Perot (F-P) tunable filter based on Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) was widely used in optical com-munication, laser, and optical imaging. At present, there is little research on F-P filters in the near-infrared band from 1260nm to 1620nm. Therefore, this letter designs a novel F-P filter based on MEMS. Three improved cantilevers beam circular bridge deck structures, including circular holes, V-shaped grooves, and square grooves, were analyzed through finite element simulation. Obtain voltage-displacement, von Mises stress, and mirror flatness to select the optimal bridge deck structure. The results show that when different bridge decks reach the same displacement, the voltage required by the square grooves cantilever beam bridge deck is the smallest, and the von Mises stress and mirror flatness of the square grooves bridge deck structure can also meet the design requirements of the filter. Finally, the filtering performance of the optimized square grooves bridge deck structure filter is analyzed.

Abstract:

The phenomenon of attenuation and scattering of light propagating in water lead to such problems as color deviation and blur in underwater image imaging. These problems bring great challenges to the subsequent feature matching, target recognition and other tasks. Therefore, this paper proposes an underwater image enhancement method by double compensation with comparative adjustment or edge reinforcement. Numerous experiments have found that the proposed method has good UCIQE value, UIQM value, and the number of feature matching points. This demonstrates that the proposed method has good color correction ability for underwater images with different attenuation levels, where the processed images have more details suitable for feature matching.

Abstract: (8) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Di-Calcium Magnesium Silicate (Ca2MgSi2O7) doped with various concentrations (1.0, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 mol %) of Dysprosium (III) was prepared using a high-temperature technique named as solid state reaction method. The sample with 2.5 mol% of Dysprosium (III) underwent X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization to confirm the proper phase formation in the sample. Observed XRD pattern matched significantly with Crystallographic Open Database (Card No. 96-210-6180) with a significantly high Figure of Merit (0.84). Photoluminescence (PL) excitation and emission spectra were also recorded. PL excitation spectrum of Di-Calcium Magnesium Silicate doped with 2.5 mol% of Dysprosium (III) exhibited a most prominent peak at 395 nm, therefore, the emission spectra of the samples were monitored at 395 nm excitation. The emission spectra exhibited prominent peaks centred at 483 nm (Blue), 577 nm (Yellow), and 664 nm (Orange Red) due to the transitions 4F9/2?6H15/2, 4F9/2?6H13/2, and 4F9/2 ?6H11/2 respectively. The colour Chromaticity Diagram (CIE) of this emission spectra was found at (0.304, 0.340) which lies in the white light region. Keeping the objective to evaluate the emitted white light for its suitability in LED application, colour Rendering Index (CRI) and Colour Correlated Temperature (CCT) were also calculated. Radiation life time was estimated using Judd-Ofelt analysis.

Zhong Guangxin, Liu Shengchun, Zheng Jingjing, Pei Li, Zhang Bingbing, Zhai Yuanbo, Ning Tigang

Abstract: (12) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors are extensively used in various sensing applications due to their high sensitivity. However, they are inherently sensitive to both strain and temperature, a cross-sensitivity problem, making it impossible to simultaneously monitor these two parameters using the Bragg wavelength shifts of a single uniform FBG. In this study, we bend the FBG pigtail to cause bending loss. The peak power of the FBG is used as the second characterization quantity. Our experimental results show that the Bragg wavelength sensitivities to strain (Kε) and temperature (KT) are 0.17 pm/με and 16.5 pm/°C, respectively. Additionally, the peak power sensitivities to strain (Pε) and temperature (PT) are -0.00202 dBm/με and -0.06 dBm/°C, respectively. The linear correlation coefficients for these measurements are all above 0.996. In this way, it is possible to simultaneously measure both strain and temperature using a single uniform FBG.

Bowen Zhang, Wenqing LIu, Xuechun Bai, Tianshu Zhang, Guangqiang Fan

Abstract: (11) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The large dynamic range and high performance of temperature and humidity profile lidar made it a popular tool for monitoring the atmospheric environment. In this study, we carried out an accurate analysis of the key com-ponents of the lidar system, including lasers, the emitting and receiving light paths, and photodetectors. We combined the validation of simulations with experimental testing, and then the applicability indicators and necessary conditions in accordance were suggested. For the frequency stability of the laser, when the wavelength shift is less than 0.15%, the measurement accuracy of the system can be guaranteed to be less than 5%. The degree of near-field signal distortion will be significantly impacted by the size of the geometric factor's transition zone. The introduced measurement error is less than 2% when the deviation angle of the emission axis is less than 0.1 mrad. It has been tested that selecting a low-sensitivity detector can help improve the sensitivity of temperature detection since this channel is sensitive to the detector's nonlinearity. To enhance lidar's detection capabilities and direct the lidar system design process, it is beneficial to analyze the precision of the key components.

Peichao Zheng, Qin Yang, Chenglin Li, Xukun Yin, Jinmei Wang, Lianbo Guo

Abstract: (5) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The total nitrogen (TN) is a major factor contributing to eutrophication and is a crucial parameter in assessing surface water quality. Accurate and rapid methods are crucial for determining the total nitrogen content in water. Herein, a fast, highly sensitive, and pollution-free approach is proposed, which combines ultraviolet (UV) absorption spectroscopy with Bayesian optimized least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) for detecting total nitrogen content in water. Water samples collected from sampling points near the Yangtze River Basin in Chongqing were analyzed using national stand-ard methods to measure TN content as reference values. The prediction of TN content in water was achieved by integrat-ing the UV absorption spectra of water samples with LSSVM. To make the model quickly and accurately select the op-timal parameters to improve the accuracy of the prediction model, the Bayesian optimization (BO) algorithm was used to optimize the parameters of the LSSVM. Results show that the prediction model performs well in predicting total nitrogen concentration, with a high coefficient of prediction determination (R2=0.9413) and a low root mean square error of pre-diction (RMSE=0.0779 mg/L). Comparative analysis with previous studies indicates that the model used in this paper achieves lower prediction errors and superior predictive performance.

Abstract: (5) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

High peak-to-average power ratio is the main disadvantage of visible light communication-based orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (VLC-OFDM) systems. To address this problem, a novel precoding method is proposed in this letter. The complex-valued precoding matrix is constructed by a vandermonde matrix. The researched results show the proposed precoding scheme has better PAPR performance when compared to the conventional real-valued precoding methods. Moreover, a general closed-form expression of bit error rate (BER) for vandermonde precoded VLC-OFDM is derived for multi-path fading channel. The obtained BER formula shows that vandermonde precoding can improve the BER performance of VLC-OFDM over multi-path fading channel. This is verified by the simulation results. The researched results also show that different precoding schemes have the same BER performance and different PAPR performance.

Abstract:

In this paper, a novel method combining orthogonal polarization laser self-mixing interference is proposed. The method utilizes a rotating cuvette to measure the refractive index of liquids at different concentrations.The cuvette is filled with the liquid to be measured and rotated by a certain angle.The change in the number of interference fringes, caused by comparing an empty cuvette with a liquid-filled cuvette, is used to calculate the refractive index of the liquid. A four-fold logic subdivision algorithm is then used to improve measurement resolution.

Abstract:

NiO is a new type of wide bandgap semiconductor (Eg=3.6eV)，by doping with Mg element, the bandgap of Mg-doped NiO thin films can be adjusted larger. By using pure NiO and MgO double ceramic targets as sputtering targets, Mg-doped NiO thin films were deposited using radio-frequency magnetron co-sputtering method in pure argon and pure oxygen gas, respectively. The crystal structure, morphological characteristics, composition and optical properties of the obtained films were compared by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS) and UV-Visible Spectrophotometer. The properties of the thin films deposited in different sputtering gases are quite different. For the films deposited in pure argon gas, it is a polycrystalline thin film with (200) preferred orientation. While the film deposited in pure oxygen is amorphous film.The grain size, molar ratio of Mg to Ni atoms and optical bandgap is larger for the films deposited in pure argon gas than that deposited in oxygen gas.

Abstract:

Because methane is flammable and explosive, the detection process is time-consuming and dangerous, and it is difficult to obtain labeled data. In order to reduce the dependence on marker data when detecting methane concentration using tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology, this paper designs a methane gas acquisition platform based on TDLAS and proposes a methane gas concentration detection model based on semi-supervised learning. Firstly, the methane gas is feature extracted, and then semi-supervised learning is introduced to select the optimal feature combination; subsequently, the traditional whale optimization algorithm is improved to optimize the parameters of the random forest to detect the methane gas concentration. The results show that the model is not only able to select the optimal feature combi-nation under limited labeled data, but also has an accuracy of 94.25%, which is better than the traditional model, and is robust in terms of parameter optimization.

Wei Chao, Li Yunpeng, Liu Jingze

Abstract: (14) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Accessible communication based on sign language recognition (SLR) is the key to emergency medical assistance for the hearing-impaired community. Balancing the capture of both local and global information in SLR for emergency medicine poses a significant challenge. To address this, we propose a novel approach based on the inter-learning of visual features between global and local information. Specifically, our method enhances the perception capabilities of the visual feature extractor by strategically leveraging the strengths of convolutional neural networks, which are adept at capturing local features, and visual transformers, which perform well at perceiving global features. Furthermore, to mitigate the issue of overfitting caused by the limited availability of sign language data for emergency medical applications, we introduce an enhanced short temporal module for data augmentation through additional subsequences. Experiments results on three publicly available sign language datasets demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed approach.

Abstract: (8) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The autocollimator is an important device for achieving precise, small-angle, non-contact measurements. It primarily ob-tains angular parameters of a plane target mirror indirectly by detecting the position of the imaging spot. There is limited reporting on the core algorithmic techniques in current commercial products and recent scientific research. This paper ad-dresses the performance requirements of coordinate reading accuracy and operational speed in autocollimator image posi-tioning. It proposes a cross-image center recognition scheme based on the Hough transform and another based on Zernike moments and the least squares method. Through experimental evaluation of the accuracy and speed of both schemes, the optimal image recognition scheme balancing measurement accuracy and speed for the autocollimator is determined. Among these, the center recognition method based on Zernike moments and the least squares method offers higher meas-urement accuracy and stability, while the Hough transform-based method provides faster measurement speed.

Abstract:

Organosilicone thin films were created through plasma polymerization in a PECVD system, utilizing HMDSN as a monomer precursor, at varying distances (25 mm, 35 mm, 45 mm, 55 mm, and 65 mm) from the plasma source to the substrate. Research has examined how the distance between the substrate and plasma source impacts the properties of thin films, including their thickness, surface morphology, and photoluminescence (PL).

Abstract: (9) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Quantum cascade lasers (QCL) have broad application potentials in the fields of infrared countermeasure system, free-space optical communication and trace gas detection due to their high efficiency, compacted size, low power consumption, and wide wavelength tuning range. Compared with traditional Fabry-Pérot (FP) cavity and external cavity, distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers (DFB-QCL) can obtain narrower laser linewidth and higher integration, respectively. In this paper, the structure design, numerical simulation and optimization of the Bragg grating of DFB-QCL are carried out to obtain the transmission spectrum with central wavelength at 4.6 μm. We analyze the relationship among the structure parameters, the central wavelength shift and transmission efficiency using coupled-wave theory and finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. It is shown that the increase in the number of grating periods enhances the capabilities of mode selectivity, while the grating length of single period adjustment directly determines the Bragg wavelength. Additionally, variations in etching depth and duty cycle lead to blue and red shifts in the central wavelength, respectively. Based on the numerical simulation results, the optimized design parameters for the upper buffer layer and the upper cladding grating is proposed, which gives an optional scheme for component fabrication and performance improvement in the future.

Abstract: (22) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Due to their unique physical properties, nonlinear materials are gradually demonstrating significant potential in the field of optics. Gold nanoparticles supported on carbon black (Au/CB) , possessing low loss and high nonlinear characteristics, serves as an ideal material for saturable absorbers (SA) in ultrafast fiber lasers. In this study, we investigated the performance of Au/CB material and designed an ultrafast fiber laser based on Au/CB SA, successfully observing stable fundamental mode-locking and pulse bunch phenomena. Specifically, when the fiber laser operates in fundamental mode-locking state, the center wavelength of optical spectrum is 1558.82 nm, with a 3dB bandwidth of 2.26 nm. Additionally, to investigate the evolution of real-time spectra, the dispersive Fourier transform (DFT) technology is employed. On the other hand, the pulse bunch emitted by the laser is actually composed of numerous random sub-pulses, exhibiting high-energy characteristics. The number of sub-pulses increases with the increase in pump power. These findings contribute to further exploring the properties of Au/CB material and reveal its potential applications in ultrafast optics.

Unidirectional and robust propagating surface magnetoplasmon in magneto-optical cylindrical waveguides with remanence

wang zhuoyuan, CHENG PEIHONG, YU Ping

Abstract: (10) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Waveguides that afford unidirectional electromagnetic-wave propagation are highly desirable for application in splitters, switches, and isolators. In this context, ferrimagnetic materials exhibiting remanence can be used to achieve unidirectional electromagnetic-field propagation in the form of magnetoplasmons in the subwavelength regime. This study investigates the magnetoplasmon properties and guided modes in a hollow cylindrical waveguide made of materials that exhibit remanence. Pattern analysis and numerical simulations are used to demonstrate that dispersion relationships and electromagnetic-field distribution are strongly affected by the operating frequency and physical dimensions of the structure. In addition, the existence of two different operational modes is proved, namely bulk and surface modes. By adjusting the operating frequency and reducing the inner diameter of the hollow cylinder, the bulk mode can be suppressed so as to only retain the surface mode, which enables unidirectional magnetoplasmon propagation in the cylindrical waveguide. Moreover, the unidirectional surface mode is robust to backscattering due to surface roughness and defects, which makes it very useful for application in broadband splitters, subwavelength-size isolators, and ?eld-enhancement devices.

Abstract:

In this paper, the network structure of Er3+ doped tellurite glass with conventional composition TeO2-ZnO-Na2O was modified by adding GeO2 oxide, and the impact of this modification on the near-infrared luminescence property of Er3+ was investigated. The enhancement of 1.53 μm band by about 26.7% in Er3+-doped tellurite glass after the addition of GeO2 oxide is attributed to the improved local environment around Er3+ ions. The XRD pattern, Raman spectrum and Judd-Ofelt intensity parameter disclosed the changes in network structure. The DSC curve showed an improvement in thermal stability. The fluorescence decay curve demonstrated an increase in lifetime. All of these indicated the positive effect of GeO2 addition, which is of great significance for determining the suitable glass matrix to further improve the luminescence properties of doped ions.

Abstract: (13) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a pipeline based on two-dimensional(2D) phase correlation to tackle the challenge of stereo event-based depth estimation under sparse data conditions. Initially, a 2D Fourier transform is applied to image blocks (patches) at corresponding positions of each event on the stereo event frame to extract spectra, thereby capturing the structural characteristics and edge details of events in the frequency domain. Subsequently, the cross-phase spectrum between patches is computed using these spectra. Finally, a trigonometric function expression is derived through an in-verse Fourier transform, where the peak coordinate signifies the disparity of the patch. The proposed method was ex-perimented on the MVSEC dataset, the RPG dataset, and achieved a mean depth error of 0.57m on frames 140 to 1200 in the indoorflying1 sequence, outperforming peer works cited in this paper while utilizing 50% of their events.

Abstract:

An improved CycleGAN network method for defect data augmentation based on feature fusion and self attention residual module is proposed to address the insufficiency of defect sample data for light guide plate(LGP) in production, as well as the problem of minor defects. Two optimizations are made to the generator of CycleGAN: 1) Fusion of low resolution features obtained from partial up-sampling and down-sampling with high-resolution features. 2) Combine self attention mechanism with residual network structure to replace the original residual module. Qualitative and quantitative experiments were conducted to compare different data augmentation methods, and the results showed that the defect images of the LGP generated by the improved network were more realistic, and the accuracy of the YOLOv5 detection network for the LGP was improved by 5.6%, proving the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed method.

CKF Phase Noise Suppression Algorithm of Using the Polynomial Interpolation for CO-OFDM Systems

Yuan Jianguo

Abstract: (17) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

A novel suppression method of the phase noise is proposed to reduce the negative impacts of phase noise in coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems. The method integrates the Sub-symbol Second-order Polynomial Interpolation (SSPI) with Cubature Kalman Filter (CKF) to improve the precision and effectiveness of the data processing through using a three-stage processing approach of phase noise. First of all, the phase noise values in OFDM symbols are calculated by using pilot symbols. Then, Second-order Newton Interpolation (SNI) is used in second-order interpolation to acquire precise noise estimation. Afterwards, every OFDM symbol is partitioned into several sub-symbols, and Second-order Polynomial Interpolation (SPI) is utilised in the time domain to enhance suppression accuracy and time resolution. Ultimately, CKF is employed to suppress the residual phase noise. The simulation results show that this method significantly suppresses the impact of the phase noise on the system, and the error floors can be decreased at the condition of 16QAM and 32QAM. The proposed method can greatly improve the CO-OFDM system's ability to tolerate the wider laser linewidth. This method, compared to the LI-SCPEC and LRI-EKF algorithms, has the superior suppression effect.

ShenZhongye, ChenChunyi, YaoWeixun, Yu Haiyang, PengJun

Abstract: (21) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Although ray tracing produces high-fidelity, realistic images, it is considered computationally burdensome when implemented on a high rendering rate system. Perception-driven rendering methods produce images with slight noise and distortion that can be well-accepted by the human visual system and reduce rendering budgets. In this paper, we propose a perception-entropy-driven temporal reusing method to accelerate real-time ray tracing. We first build a just noticeable difference model to represent the uncertainty of ray samples and image space masking effects. Then, we expand the shading gradient through gradient max-pooling and gradient filtering to enlarge the visual receipt field. Finally, we dynamically optimize reusable time segments to improve the accuracy of temporal reusing. Compared with Monte Carlo ray tracing, our algorithm enhances FPS(frames per second) by 1.93x to 2.96x at 8 to 16 samples per pixel, significantly accelerating the Monte Carlo ray tracing process while maintaining visual quality.

Abstract: (23) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Research on human motion prediction has made significant progress due to its importance in the development of various artificial intelligence applications. However, the prediction procedure often suffers from undesirable discontinuities and long-term error accumulation, which strongly limits its accuracy. To address these issues, a robust human motion prediction method via integration of spatial and temporal cues (RISTC) has been proposed. This method captures sufficient spatio-temporal correlation of the observable sequence of human poses by utilizing the spatio-temporal mixed feature extractor(MFE). In multi-layer MFEs, the channel-graph united attention blocks extract the augmented spatial features of the human poses in the channel and spatial dimension. Additionally, multi-scale temporal blocks have been designed to effectively capture complicated and highly dynamic temporal information. Our experiments on the Human3.6M and CMU Mocap datasets show that the proposed network yields higher prediction accuracy than the state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract: (23) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In this study, we design and numerically investigate a novel all optical D flip-flop (AODFF) based on linear photonic crystal (LPhC) structure that is composed of optical waveguides using the finite difference time domain method. The proposed structure has the hexagonal close packed of 16 × 20 circular rods that is suspended in the air substrate with a lattice constant of 606 nm. The plane wave expansion method is used to obtain the band diagram for AODFF at an operating wavelength of 1550 nm. The proposed optical flip-flop achieves a low delay time of 0.2ps and a high contrast ratio of 10.33dB. The main advantage of this design is that low input power as low as 1mW/μm2 is sufficient for its operation, since no nonlinear rods are included. In addition, the footprint of the proposed AODFF is 100 μm2, which is smaller compared to the structures reported in the literature, and it has a fast switching frequency of 5Tbit/s.

Automatic diagnosis of keratitis from low-quality slit-lamp images using feature vector quantization and self-attention mechanisms

JIANG Jiewei, XIN Yu, DING Ke, ZHU Mingmin, CHEN Yi, LI Zhongwen

Abstract: (15) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In clinical practice, the capture of low-quality slit-lamp images is often unavoidable. Deep learning models developed us-ing high-quality slit-lamp images typically exhibit poor generalization performance in the automatic diagnosis of keratitis on low-quality images, severely hindering their application and promotion. To address this challenge, this paper proposes a novel method for the automatic diagnosis of keratitis using feature vector quantization and self-attention mechanisms (ADK_FVQSAM). First, high-level features are extracted using the DenseNet121 backbone network, followed by adap-tive average pooling to scale the features to a fixed length. Subsequently, product quantization with residuals (PQR) is applied to convert continuous feature vectors into discrete features representations, preserving essential information in-sensitive to image quality variations. The quantized and original features are concatenated and fed into a self-attention mechanism to capture keratitis-related features. Finally, these enhanced features are classified through a fully connected layer. Experiments on clinical low-quality images show that ADK_FVQSAM achieves accuracies of 87.7%, 81.9%, and 89.3% for keratitis, other corneal abnormalities, and normal corneas, respectively. Compared to DenseNet121, Swin Transformer, and InceptionResNet, ADK_FVQSAM improves average accuracy by 3.1%, 11.3%, and 15.3%, respec-tively. These results demonstrate that ADK_FVQSAM significantly enhances the recognition performance of keratitis based on low-quality slit-lamp images, offering a practical approach for clinical application.

Abstract: (19) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Based on optofluidics and whispering gallery mode (WGM) theory, here an optofluidic refractive index sensor with microtube-coupled suspended core fiber is proposed. It solves the issues of general sensors with microcavi-ty-coupled fiber taper such as too fragile, unstable performance due to open coupling, poor portability and re-peatability, while overcoming the poor performance of low refractive index sensing in general full-package fiber sensors. The sensor only needs a very small amount of liquid sample (about 1.8 nL). The proposed sensor combines the excellent performance of full package, optofluidics and WGM resonator. The resonant characteristics and sensing performance of the sensor are analyzed and discussed by the theoretical simulation. The simulation results indicate that the sensor has a wide refractive index sensing range (1.330 - 1.700) and good performance. The res-onance wavelength shift has a good linear relationship with the liquid refractive index variation. In the low refractive index region, the sensitivity is 222.5 - 247.5 nm/RIU, Q-factor is 1.03 × 10^3 and the detection limit is 3.64 × 10^(-4) RIU. In the medium and high refractive index regions, the sensitivity is 564.4 – 846.2 nm/RIU, Q-factor is up to 8.62 × 10^4, and the detection limit can be as low as 1.29 × 10(-6) RIU. The sensor exhibits a high sensitivity, a high Q-factor and a very low detection limit.

Abstract: (19) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) exhibit superior performance in image feature extraction, making them exten-sively used in the area of traffic sign recognition. However, the design of existing traffic sign recognition algorithms of-ten relies on expert knowledge to enhance the image feature extraction networks, necessitating image preprocessing and model parameter tuning. This increases the complexity of the model design process. This study introduces an evolution-ary neural architecture search algorithm for the automatic design of neural network models tailored for traffic sign recog-nition. By integrating the construction parameters of ResNet into evolutionary algorithms (EAs), we automatically gener-ate lightweight networks for traffic sign recognition, utilizing blocks as the fundamental building units. Experimental evaluations on the German traffic sign dataset reveal that the algorithm attains a recognition accuracy of 99.32%, with a mere 2.8?106 parameters. Experimental results comparing the proposed method with other traffic sign recognition algo-rithms demonstrate that the method can more efficiently discover neural network architectures, significantly reducing the number of network parameters while maintaining recognition accuracy.

Abstract: (33) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Currently, water quality has become an important condition to guarantee the quality of people's daily life. Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is an important criterion for detecting the emission of pollutants and judging the quality of water. This paper improves the absorption spectrum compensation model for COD and turbidity mixed solution in the dual-wavelength spectral method based on the Lambert-Beer law additive principle. It compensates for the influence of turbidity on the absorption coefficient of the COD solution at 355nm by the absorption spectrum coefficient of the mixed solution at 623nm. This paper establishes a linear relationship model between the absorbance difference of the mixed solution at 355nm and 623nm and COD. The experimental determination coefficient R2 of the model is 0.98335, with a relative error of 3.5% and an average error of 0.7 mg/L. The design of the model is simple and easy to systematize, which is of strong significance for practical application.

Minghui

Abstract: (17) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The visual noise of each light intensity area is different when the image is drawn by Monte Carlo method. However, the existing denoising algorithms have limited denoising performance under complex lighting conditions and are easy to lose detailed information. So we propose a rendered image denoising method with filtering guided by lighting in-formation. First, we design an image segmentation algorithm based on lighting information to segment the image into different illumination areas. Then, we establish the parameter prediction model guided by lighting information for fil-tering (PGLF) to predict the filtering parameters of different illumination areas. For different illumination areas, we use these filtering parameters to construct area filters, the filters are guided by the lighting information to perform sub-area filtering. Finally the filtering results are fused with auxiliary features to output denoised images for improving the overall denoising effect of the image. Under the PBRT scene and Tungsten dataset, the experimental results show that compared with other guided filtering denoising methods, our method improves the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) metrics by 4.2164DB on average and the Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) metrics by 7.8% on average. This shows that our method can better reduce the noise in complex lighting scenes and improve the image quality.

Abstract:

In this work, the TiO2/Sb2S3 nanorod arrays (NRAs) were synthesized through a two-stage hydrothermal route for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. The effect of annealing treatment in Ar ambience on the PEC activity of TiO2/Sb2S3 composite sample was investigated by electrochemical impedance analysis, including Nyquist and Mott-Schottky (M-S) plots. It was demonstrated that vacuum annealing could crystallize Sb2S3 component and change its color from red to black, leading to an increment of photocurrent density from 1.9 A/m2 to 4.25 A/m2 at 0 VSCE. The enhanced PEC performance was mainly attributed to the improved visible light absorption. Moreover, annealing treatment facilitated retarding the electron-hole recombination occurred at the solid/liquid interfaces. Our work might provide a novel strategy for enhancing the PEC performance of a semiconductor electrode.

Abstract: (29) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

To improve image quality under low illumination conditions, a novel low-light image enhancement method is proposed in this paper based on multi-illumination estimation and multi-scale fusion (MIMS). Firstly, the illumination is processed by contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE), adaptive complementary gamma function (ACG), and adap-tive detail preserving S-curve (ADPS), respectively, to obtain three components. Then, the fusion-relevant features, exposure, and color contrast are selected as the weight maps. Subsequently, these components and weight maps are fused through multi-scale to generate enhanced illumination. Finally, the enhanced images are obtained by multiplying the en-hanced illumination and reflectance. Compared with existing approaches, this proposed method achieves an average in-crease of 0.81% and 2.89% in the SSIM and PSNR, and a decrease of 6.17% and 32.61% in the NIQE and GMSD, re-spectively.

Abstract: (53) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Reverse design of highly GeO2-doped silica optical fibers with broadband and flat dispersion profiles is proposed using a neural network combined with a particle swarm optimization algorithm. Firstly, the neural network model designed to predict optical fiber dispersion is trained with an appropriate choice of hyperparameters, achieving a root mean square error (RMSE) of 1.15?10-6 on the test dataset, with a determination coefficient (R-squared) of 0.999. Secondly, the neural network is combined with the particle swarm optimization algorithm for the inverse design of dispersion-flattened optical fibers. To expand the search space and avoid particles getting trapped in local optimal solutions, the particle swarm optimization algorithm incorporates adaptive inertia weight updating and a simulated annealing algorithm. Finally, by using a proper fitness function, the designed fibers exhibit flat group velocity dispersion (GVD) profiles at 1400-2400 nm, where the GVD fluctuations and minimum absolute GVD values are below 18 and 7 ps/nm?km, respectively.

Abstract:

With the deepening of neural network research, object detection has been developed rapidly in recent years, and video object detection methods have gradually attracted the attention of scholars, especially frameworks including multiple object tracking and detection. Most current works prefer to build the paradigm for multiple object tracking and detection by multi-task learning. Different with others, a multi-level temporal feature fusion structure is pro-posed in this paper to improve the performance of framework by utilizing the constraint of video temporal con-sistency. For training the temporal network end-to-end, a feature exchange training strategy is put forward for training the temporal feature fusion structure efficiently. The proposed method is tested on several acknowledged benchmarks, and encouraging results are obtained compared with the famous joint detection and tracking frame-work. The ablation experiment answers the problem of a good position for temporal feature fusion.

Abstract: (109) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In order to effectively prevent and treat heart-based diseases, the study of precise segmentation of heart parts is particularly important. The heart is divided into four parts: the left and right ventricles and the left and right atria, and the left main trunk is more important, thus the left ventricular muscle (LV-MYO),which is located in the middle part of the heart, has become the object of many researches. Deep learning medical image segmentation methods become the main means of image analysis and processing at present, but the deep learning methods based on traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) are not suitable for segmenting organs with few labels and few samples like the heart, while the metalearning methods are able to solve the above problems and achieve better results in the direction of heart segmentation. Since the LV-MYO is wrapped in the left ventricular blood pool (LV-BP), this paper proposes a new model for heart segmentation: PCA-Net. Specifically, we redesign the coding structure of Q-Net and make improvements in threshold extraction. Experimental results confirm that PCA-Net effectively improves the accuracy of segmenting LV-MYO and LVBP sites on the CMR dataset, and is validated on another publicly available dataset, ABD, where the results outperform other SOTA methods.

ZULPIYE Hasanjan, DOU Xiao-zong, Zhang hongyan

Abstract: (98) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In this study, a water-soluble fluorescent probe based on copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) was synthesized using a hydrothermal method with BSA (BSA@CuNPs) as a protectant, and it was utilized to efficiently detect the concentration of tetracycline (TC). Experiments show that the emission wavelength of the BSA@CuNPs probe, excited at 328 nm, was measured to be 403 nm. Upon the addition of TC to the BSA@CuNPs probe, its fluorescence intensity at 403 nm is obviously diminished due to the keto-enol functions C=O group in TC connects with the hydroxyl group on the BSA@CuNPs probe to form a non-fluorescent complex, which can be successfully utilized for detecting TC concentration. Additionally, a good linear relationship was observed between relative fluorescence intensity (F0/F) of BSA@CuNPs probe and the TC concentration from 20 to 130 mM, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 60 nM. Furthermore, the BSA@CuNPs probe was applied to detect TC concentrations in real meat samples, with recoveries ranging from 95.4% to 102.1%, and the relative standard deviation was below 2.7%. Therefore, BSA@CuNPs probe exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity for TC, which will be used for the study of TC analysis in meat.

Duzuyan, yjyuan, Houguofu, Liwei, Bijinlian, Xingyupeng

Abstract: (128) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Cs2TiBr6, characterized as a lead-free vacancy-ordered double perovskite material, demonstrates notable stability and photoelectric performance, rendering it suitable for application in perovskite solar cells. However, the experimental efficiency of this material is currently limited, achieving only 3.12%. This efficiency limitation primarily stems from the material’s wide bandgap, which results in insufficient light absorption. To address this issue, this study utilized Cs2PtI6-xBrx for band structure fine-tuning. By adjusting the bandgap of Cs2PtI6-xBrx through Br- doping, not only was the alignment of the energy bandgap in the absorption layer effectively adjusted, but the cutoff range of light absorption was also significantly expanded. Setting the Cs2PtI6-xBrx bandgap to 1.4 eV resulted in optimal device performance. Additionally, comparative analyses aimed at boosting solar cell efficiency were performed on both hole transport and electron transport layer materials. Subsequently, the structure of the perovskite solar cell was optimized using an FTO/TiO2/Cs2TiBr6/Cs2PtI6-xBrx/Cu2O/Au configuration. Furthermore, the influence of the absorber layer thickness and defect density on device performance was studied. Ultimately, this configuration enabled the Cs2TiBr6/Cs2PtI6-xBrx solar cell to achieve a peak conversion efficiency of 29.69%.

MDCFS: Few-shot Object Detection with Multilevel decoupled Classifiers

LI Chuanhui, ZHOU Mian, FENG Zhikun, SUI Zezhou, GAO Zan

Abstract: (88) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Few-shot object detection poses unique challenges as it requires effectively learning novel classes with limited labeled data. Current approaches often suffer from biases towards base classes during fine-tuning, leading to suboptimal performance on detecting novel classes. Additionally, in complex scenes, the confusion between foreground and background objects further affects the accuracy and robustness of the model. To address these issues, we propose the Multilevel De-coupling Classification Few-Shot Algorithm (MDCFS). we decouple the standard classifier into a parallel foreground classifier and a background classifier in the Few-Shot Object Detection (FSOD) setting. This decoupling enables the independent separation of positive samples from noisy negative samples, alleviating the foreground-background confusion problem commonly encountered in few-shot detectors. For Generalized Few-Shot Object Detection (G-FSOD), where the few-shot dataset contains base classes, we further decouple the foreground classification head into a base class classification head and a novel class classification head. To ensure balance, we assign more weight to the novel class classification head, effectively addressing the bias towards base classes. Furthermore, we optimize the initial weights of the few-shot fine-tuning stage, significantly reducing training time and mitigating catastrophic forgetting in G-FSOD. Additionally, we incorporate metric learning into our model with minimal cost. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach. Compared to state-of-the-art few-shot object detection methods based on fine-tuning, MDCFS achieves performance improvements of up to 6.3% on the PASCAL VOC dataset and 1.5% on the COCO dataset.

Abstract: (99) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Aiming at the problem that the current traffic safety helmet detection model can’t balance the accuracy of detection with the size of the model and the poor generalization of the model, a method based on improving YOLOv5 is proposed. By incorporating the lightweight GhostNet module into the YOLOv5 backbone network, we effectively reduce the model size. The addition of the Receptive Fields Block (RFB) module enhances feature extraction and improves the feature acquisition capability of the lightweight model. Subsequently, the high-performance light-weight convolution, GSConv, is integrated into the neck structure for further model size compression. Moreover, the baseline model's loss function is substituted with EIoU, accelerating network convergence and enhancing de-tection precision. Experimental results corroborate the effectiveness of this improved algorithm in real-world traffic scenarios.

DI Ke, Xie Meng, Du Jia Jia

Abstract: (130) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In this paper, we present a metamaterial structure of Dirac and vanadium dioxide and investigate its optical properties using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) technique. Using the phase transition feature of vanadium dioxide, the design can realize active tuning of the PIT effect at terahertz frequency, thereby converting from a single PIT to a double PIT. When VO2 is in the insulating state, the structure is symmetric to obtain a single-band PIT effect; When VO2 is in the metallic state, the structure turns asymmetric to realize a dual-band PIT effect. This design provides a reference direction for the design of actively tunable metamaterials. Additionally, it is discovered that the transparent window's resonant frequency and the Dirac material's Fermi level in this structure have a somewhat linear relationship. In addition, the structure achieves superior refractive index sensitivity in the terahertz band, surpassing 1 THz/RIU. Consequently, the concept exhibits encouraging potential for application in refractive index sensors and optical switches.

Abstract:

Abstract: In this paper, a terahertz dual-beam leaky-wave antenna (LWA) based on a multi-mode spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP) waveguide is proposed. By dispersion engineering of the SSPP transmission line (SSPP TL), multiple modes are excited on the SSPP TL. A dual-beam LWA is constructed based on the radiation from the first space harmonics of the guided fundamental mode and the first higher-order mode. The simulation results show that the antenna radiates frequency-dependent dual beams in the 1.9-2.6 THz operating frequency band. The average gains for the two beams are 12.9 dBi and 8.2 dBi, respectively. The compact dual-beam LWA is promising in the application of wireless communication and radar systems.

zhang anning, zhao rui, wei xian, liang zhongcheng, han zefeng

Abstract: (149) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

An electromagnetic-driving variable liquid aperture is designed and fabricated. It consists of a driving cavity, an optical cavity and a storage chamber, a polydimethylsiloxane（PDMS）elastic film, an annular magnet and a driving coils. The driving cavity is filled with dyeing liquid while the colorless transparent liquid fills the optical cavity and the storage chamber. When applying current, the annular magnet moves downward driven by the magnetic field leading to deformation of the PDMS film. Being squeezed by the moving magnet with the deforming film, the dyeing liquid flows from the driving cavity into the optical cavity, which contributes to the decrease of the clear aperture diameter in the optical cavity. Our proposed aperture performs continuous variable ability up to 2.775 mm in diameter of clear aperture when the current increases from 0 to 0.33A, and its relative transmittance ranges from 98.539% to 22.776% ~390 nm.

Representation Strategy for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation on Person Re-Identification

Hao Li, Tao Zhang, Shuang Li, Xuan Li, Xin Zhao

Abstract: (98) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The task of unsupervised person re-identification (Re-ID) is to transfer the knowledge learned in the source domain with no labels to the target domain with no labels. Due to the significant differences in the background of different datasets, the trained model is challenging to extract person features accurately on unsupervised domain adaptive (UDA). Most UDA methods for person re-ID use single-image representation (SIR) during the feature extraction. These methods might ignore the difference among the cross-view images with the same identity. For this problem, the Joint Learning Image Representation Strategy for Unsupervised Domain Adaptation (JLIRS-UDA), which takes cross-image representation (CIR) into account for UDA, is proposed. The network architecture of JLIRS-UDA consists of two networks with branching networks. Each network consists of a shared network and two branching networks the SIR branch and CIR branch. The two branching networks aim to learn the SIR and CIR, respectively. To ensure the accuracy of the pseudo-label generation, the Segmenting Dynamic Clustering (SDC) method, which divides the training process into two phases, is proposed. Precisely, in the first phases, SDC adopts the single image features in the clustering phase to ensure that accurate feature details can be learned. In the second phase, SDC fuses SIR and CIR as the final feature for clustering to interactively promote the SIR branch and CIR branch. JLIRS-UDA learns the SIR and CIR jointly in the UDA task training phase. Compared with state-of-the-arts, the strategy proposed in this paper has achieved a significant improvement of 7.1% mAP on the tasks of Market-1501 to DukeMTMC-reID. The slightest improvement in accuracy also achieved 0.8% on Market-1501 to MSMT17.

Fairness-aware Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning and Visual Perception For Adaptive Traffic Signal Control

Wanqing Fang

Abstract: (114) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The majority of Multi-agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) methods for solving Adaptive Traffic Signal Control (ATSC) problems are dedicated to maximizing the throughput while ignoring fairness, resulting in a bad situation where some vehicles keep waiting. For this reason, this paper models the ATSC problem as a Partially Observable Markov Game (POMG), in which a value function that combines throughput and fairness is elaborated. On this basis, we propose a new cooperative MARL method FA-MAPPO, i.e., fairness-aware multi-agent proximity policy optimization, which is based on the cooperative MARL algorithm MAPPO. In addition, FA-MAPPO uses graph attention neural networks to efficiently extract state representations from traffic data acquired through visual perception in multi-intersection scenarios. Experimental results in Jinan and synthetic scenarios confirm that FA-MAPPO improves fairness while guaranteeing passage efficiency compared to the SOTA methods.

Effect of unstable resonator stability on laser beam quality

Abstract: (125) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In order to explore the effect of unstable resonator stability on laser beam quality, the numerical simulation of mid-infrared laser and visible laser was carried out in GLAD software. The simulation results showed that the existence of defocus aberration, tilt aberration and astigmatic aberration in the unstable resonator can cause the center of the far-field spot of the output annular beam to drift, the number of peripheral diffraction rings to increase, the beam quality to deteriorate, and the degree of effect is different. It is also found that on the basis of the effect of tilt aberration and astigmatism aberration, the introduction of defocus aberration can improve the output laser beam quality to a certain extent. In addition, under the condition of the same aberrations, the effects of different wavelength lasers are roughly the same. However, in terms of the degree of effects, the short-wave laser is much higher than the medium-long-wave laser, which verifies that the optical cavity debugging of the short-wave laser is more difficult than that of the medium-long-wave laser in the experimental process. The simulation results can provide an important reference for the optimization design of the laser system, the processing of cavity mirror and the formulation of the correction range index of the adaptive optical system.

Abstract: (108) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The detection of small targets poses a significant challenge for infrared search and tracking (IRST) systems, as they must strike a delicate balance between accuracy and speed. In this letter, we propose a detection algorithm based on spatial attention density peaks searching and an adaptive window selection scheme. First, the DoG filter is introduced for preprocessing of raw infrared images. Second, the image is processed by spatial attention density peaks searching (SADPS). Third, an adaptive window selection scheme is applied to obtain window templates for the target scale size. Then, the small target feature is used to enhance the target and suppress the background. Finally, the true targets are segmented through a threshold. The experimental results show that compared with the seven state-of-the-art small targets detection baseline algorithms, the proposed method not only has better detection accuracy, but also has reasonable time consumption.

Deng zhichao, Mei Jian Chunk, Wang Jin, Ye Qing, Tian Jian Guo

Abstract: (138) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The complex refractive index dispersion (CRID) of absorbing materials is very important in many fields, especially in printing industry and medical research. However, due to their strong absorbing, CRID determination is still a challenge. In this study, without diluting treatment or the thickness information, a method is proposed to calculate the CRID of ab-sorbing materials, based merely on the reflectance and transmittance spectra measurements. The method separates the CRID into absorbing part and transparent part based on Kramers-Kronig relations, and it also uses the common Cauchy dispersion formula and Fresnel reflection formula. The CRID of methyl-red-doped poly (methyl methacrylate) (3% mass fraction) and hemoglobin solutions (320g/L) are determined over the spectral range from 400nm to 750 nm, and the result shows good stability and consistency of the method.

Abstract: (106) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In order to reduce the nonlinear effect of Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) on optical transmission signals in intensity modulation and direct detection (IM-DD) systems, a joint scheme of sinusoidal subcarrier modulation (SSM) and Levenberg-Marquardt back propagation (LM-BP) neural network is proposed in this paper. The scheme uses sine wave as the subcarrier to carry the PAM4 signals to equalize the distorted signals after MZM modulation, and then the LM-BP algorithm removes the remaining inter-symbol interference (ISI). This scheme uses sine wave modulation to solve the problem of additional ISI caused by triangular wave modulation. And the joint scheme reduces the complexity of the algorithm than using only the neural network equalizer. In this paper, the performance of SSM-LM-BP scheme is simulated and analyzed in IM/DD system. The results show that the joint scheme outperforms the triangular wave modulation scheme as well as the neural network algorithm after transmitting 50Gbit/s PAM4 signals for 80km without relaying under the premise of dispersion compensation, and the BER can reach 10-5.

Abstract:

This paper proposes an end-to-end defect detection algorithm model called YOLOv5-CJ to address the issues of missed detections and low accuracy in visual steel surface defect detection. By incorporating the C3_MSBlock module, which is designed based on Res2Net and contains multi-scale information, into the backbone network, the model can represent multi-scale features at a finer granularity level and increase the network's receptive field. In the detection head, the DyHead attention mechanism is introduced, which integrates scale awareness, spatial awareness, and task awareness, to help the model better cope with complex industrial scenes with large background interference, significant defect scale variations, and easily confused defect categories. Soft NMS is employed to enhance the recognition capability in overlapping regions. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed YOLOv5-CJ model outperforms YOLOv5s, achieving an average precision (mAP0.5 and mAP0.5:O.95) improvement of 1.9% and 7.1% on the NEU-DET dataset, and 5.3% and 4.3% on the GC10-DET dataset, respectively, validating the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model.

Abstract:

A reversible operation protocol is provided for a weak-measured quantum entanglement state. The evolution of weak values is studied under different parameter conditions. The weak values can be extracted from the entanglement state and the weak-measured quantum entanglement state can be revived to its initial state theoretically by weak measurement and reversibility operation respectively. We demonstrate the reversible operation protocol by taking Bell’s state as an example. The negativity is used to analyze the initial state, the weak-measured state and the reversed state in order to describe the evolution of quantum entanglement degree. Weak values is detected from the quantum entanglement state by weak measurement and the degree of the weak-measured quantum entanglement state can be revived to its initial state through reversible operation. The information of quantum entanglement state would be extracted from weak values detected in the process of the scheme.

Abstract:

The detection and localization of bone joint regions in medical X-ray images are essential for contemporary medical diagnostics. Traditional methods rely on subjective interpretation by physicians, leading to variability and potential errors. Automated bone joint detection techniques have become feasible with advancements in general-purpose object detection. However, applying these algorithms to X-ray images faces challenges due to the domain gap. To overcome these challenges, a novel framework called EAE-Net is proposed. It incorporates a Context Augment Module (CAM) to leverage global structural information and a Ghost Bottleneck Module (GBM) to reduce redundant features. The EAE-Net model achieves exceptional detection performance, striking a balance between accuracy and speed. This advancement improves efficiency, enabling clinicians to focus on critical aspects of diagnosis and treatment.

Abstract: (140) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Integrated optical power splitters are basic but indispensable on-chip devices in silicon photonics. They can be used either for power distribution or monitoring, or as the building blocks for more complex devices or circuits. Although different types of optical power splitters with different architectures have been proposed and demonstrated, devices that could work with arbitrary power splitting ratio in a large bandwidth without polarization dependence, are still rare to be seen. In this paper, we propose and investigate an optical power splitter with adiabatically tapered waveguide structures on a thick silicon nitride platform, which could meet the requirement mentioned above. With optimized structural parameters obtained by three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain simulation, the po-larization dependence of different power splitting ratio gets almost eliminated for each specific working wavelength. In a broad wavelength range (1340-1800nm), the IL of the device is below 1dB, and the variation of the PSR can be controlled within ~?5% if compared with the targeted design value for 1550nm centered wavelength. Simple structure, relaxed critical dimensions, and good fabrication tolerance make this device compatible with the standard fabrication process in commercial silicon photonic foundries.

Abstract: (134) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Broadband and perfect terahertz absorber based on multilayer metamaterial using cross-ring patterned structures is pro-posed and investigated. The structure of the absorber is double absorption layer consisting of a chromium cross ring and eight isosceles right triangles. The unique structure of the double absorbing layers excites the electric dipole multimode resonance, giving rise to high absorption performance. Meanwhile, the influence of construal parameters on absorber be-havior is also discussed. The numerical results shows that the absorption achieves over 90% ranged from 2.45 THz to 6.25 THz and 99% absorption in the range of 3.7 THz-5.3 THz. The realization of broadband and perfect absorber is de-scribed using the impedance matching principle. It obviously found that the absorber is insensitive to the high angle of incidence for both TE and TM polarizations. Compared with the former reports, this absorber has remarkable improved absorption efficiency and smaller period. The terahertz absorber may be found applications in the fields of energy capture and thermal detection.

RiSw: Resistant to Incomplete Shooting Watermarking Scheme

Zhouliang Wang, Wanni Xiang, Weiya Wang, Hui Li

Abstract: (99) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Leaking data through screen-shooting has become the main way of modern leaks. Digital watermarking technology can trace the leaker through the watermark information after the data is leaked. The current screen-shooting watermarking scheme can resist part of the distortion in the screen-shooting process, but it faces two problems. On the one hand, the watermark capacity is small. On the other hand, when the shot watermarked image is incomplete, high watermark extraction accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Based on the above problems, we propose a watermarking scheme RiSw that can resist incomplete shooting. Specifically, we design a set of codecs that can embed binary image as watermark into carrier image and extract them, which not only ensures good visual effects of watermarked image, but also greatly increases watermark capacity. To resist incomplete shooting, we propose an incomplete shooting layer to simulate the situation of incomplete shooting in the screen-shooting process. Robustness to incomplete shooting can be achieved through end-to-end training. Extensive experiments show that the scheme proposed in this paper has superior performance. Even if the watermarked image lacks 50\% pixels, it can still maintain a stable extraction accuracy.

Abstract: (99) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

To address traffic congestion, this study improved MobileNetv2-YOLOv4 target detection algorithm (MobileNetv2-YOLOv4-K++F) and introduces an embedded traffic information processing solution based on edge computing. We transition models initially designed for large- scale GPUs to edge computing devices, maximizing the strengths of both deep learning and edge computing technologies. This approach integrates embedded devices with the current traffic system, eliminating the need for extensive equipment updates. The solution enables real-time traffic flow monitoring and license plate recognition at the edge, synchronizing instantaneously with the cloud, allowing for intelligent adjustments of traffic signals and accident forewarnings, enhancing road utilization, and facilitating traffic flow optimization. Through on-site testing using the RK3399PRO development board and the MobileNetv2-YOLOv4-K++F object detection algorithm, the upgrade costs of this approach are less than one-tenth of conventional methods. Under favorable weather conditions, the traffic flow detection accuracy reaches as high as 98%, with license plate recognition exceeding 80%.

Optical SSB Filters Free Twin-SSB Signal Detection with Self-Coherent Detection

Xiaoling Zhang

Abstract: (93) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Dater center interconnection has stimulated the development of the short reach optical communication transmission. To increase the capacity of the SSB system with DD, the twin-SSB system can double the system capacity without extra op-tical modulator. Recently, Stokes vector receiver (SVR) bridges the coherent detection and DD. A carrier can be sent along with the signal so that the SVR can utilize the reference carrier to conduct self-coherent detection and realize a linear complex optical channel detection which is similar to the coherent receiver. In this paper, we propose an optical SSB filter and guard band free twin-SSB signal detection scheme with self-coherent detection based on SVR. The proposed scheme greatly reduces the implementation complexity and has higher spectral efficiency (SE) compared with the traditional twin-SSB signal detection which two narrow-band optical filters and guard band are used for SSB signal extracting and inter crosstalk suppression. Meanwhile, the proposed twin-SSB signal detection with self-coherent detection also helps to relax the receiver DSP, since the self-coherent detection reduces the inter crosstalk between the twin-SSB. The twin-SSB reception with self-coherent detection scheme makes it suitable for the future high-speed short and medium-reach applica-tions, such as the data center interconnect and metro area network.

Study of PAPR mitigation in OFDM-VLC system by SCMA codebook design

yang ting, li ganggang, wang ping, wang zhao

Abstract: (115) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Traditional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based visible light communication (VLC) system is susceptible to high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR), thus leading to low power efficiency. To address this issue, a sparse code multiple access (SCMA) codebook design method has been proposed to lower the PAPR of the clipping based OFDM-VLC system. Then, the codebooks of the high-dimension mother constellation (MC) and low-dimension MC are optimized, respectively. Specifically, for high-dimension MCs like T16-QAM, the constellation points (CLPs) with higher transmit power are mapped to the CLPs with lower power. For low-dimension MCs like 4-PAM, a contract-ed mapping method is proposed to reduce the power of the CLPs located on the real axis of the MC. Simulations show that the proposed method could achieve better PAPR performance for any values of the clipping ratio with only a slight bit error rate (BER) performance loss compared to the original codebook design. Besides, the smaller clipping ratio would induce better PAPR performance but worse BER performance. Moreover, the increasing number of iterations in the logarithm domain message passing algorithm (log-MPA) could improve the BER performance. This work will benefit the research and development of SCMA-OFDM-VLC systems.

LIU Peiyu, MA Yixuan

Abstract: (98) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Underwater target detection, a critical aspect of underwater robotics and ocean information processing, presents formidable challenges due to the distinctive imaging conditions beneath the water's surface. Issues such as noise interference, indistinct texture features, low contrast, and color distortion necessitate advanced computer vision techniques. In this paper, we introduce the MCR-YOLO model, a deep neural network for underwater target detection. This model leverages the Multi-Color Spatial Feature framework to address these challenges. It employs two feature extraction branches: the first focuses on the luminance channel (Y) of the RGB image in the YCbCr color space to extract non-color features, using an enhanced ResNet50 architecture. The output features from three scales are integrated for information exchange. Additionally, low-frequency information is incorporated through a separate feature extraction branch, operating on the three-channel RGB image. The features obtained from the three scales in both branches are fused at corresponding scales, enabling comprehensive feature integration. The culmination of this process results in multi-scale feature fusion and robust target detection, integrating the PANet framework. This innovative approach promises to significantly enhance the reliability and accuracy of underwater target detection in challenging underwater environments.

A lightweight road-assistant detection algorithm, EBD-YOLO, based on YOLOv5s is proposed to address the problems of high model complexity, computation cost, and difficulty in deployment on resource-limited embedded terminals in existing assisted driving detection algorithms.

Abstract:

In this paper, the performance of a two-way relay (TWR) mixed radio frequency/free space optical (RF/FSO) system with co-channel interference (CCI) is investigated. Different from interference-limited one-way relay (OWR) system, CCIs should be considered at both relay and users in TWR system. Additionally, opportunistic user schedule is applied to select the user with the largest signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR). Exact and asymptotic outage probability (OP) expressions are derived. Bit error rate (BER) is further presented to evaluate the overall performance. Simulation results show that the performance of a TWR system is dominated by the uplink or downlink whose performance is severer.

Abstract: (139) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Employing deep learning for pavement crack detection can significantly enhance accuracy, and federated learning can help to overcome the challenges of data silos and data security. This paper proposes a lightweight method to detect cracks. We use lightweight encoder modules to extract multi-scale features, and further feature fusion and modelling by Selective Fusion Blocks and Irregular-aware Blocks. Moreover, this method is the first to combine federated learning with crack detection, effectively resolving the tension between data privacy and data sharing in decentralised devices. Experiments were conducted to compare our proposed method with other crack detection methods on two publicly available datasets, including the original method without federated learning and five state-of-the-art methods combined with the same feder-ated learning framework. The experiment proves that our model obtains comparable F1 score with minimal parameters and computational effort. For example, compared to the original method, the number of parameters and computation are reduced by 67.1% and 73.6%, respectively.

Learning to See Speckle in the Weak Laser Field through Multimode Fiber

Ji Yun Qi, Song Bin Bin, Li Xue Qing, Li Yong Hui

Abstract: (79) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Multimode fibers (MMFs) have great potential for endoscopic imaging due to the high number of modes and a small core diameter. Deep learning based on neural networks has received increasing attention in the field of scattering image reconstruction. However, most studies focus on designing complex network architectures to improve reconstruction, but these network models struggle to reconstruct images in a weak laser field. In the paper, a lightweight generative adversarial network model combined with a histogram specification algorithm is designed to reconstruct speckles in the weak laser field through MMF. Experimental results show that the reconstruction results of our algorithm have better metrics. Moreover, the model demonstrates excellent cross-domain generalization ability with regards to the Fashion-MNIST dataset. It is worth mentioning that we found that the speckles after inactivation still retain the ability to be reconstructed, which enhances the robustness of the model.

Subnetwork-based Federated Few-shot semantic seg-mentation of Organ Images

Wu Junpeng, Zhao Meng, Zhang Huanping

Abstract: (69) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Federated learning, as a distributed learning paradigm, allows multiple medical institutions to collaborate on learning without the need to centralize all client data. However, existing methods pay little attention to more challenging medical image semantic segmentation tasks, especially in the scenario of uneven data category distribution in fed-erated few-shot learning. In this context, we propose a subnetwork-based federated few-shot medical image seg-mentation method. Firstly, individual clients train using local training samples and then upload local model gradients to the server. The server utilizes their respective local model gradients to update the subnetwork maintained on the server and generate aggregation weights for forming personalized model parameters. Through this method, we are able to learn the similarities between different clients to address data heterogeneity issues. In addition, to enhance the communication efficiency between clients and the server, we have also designed a personalized layer aggregation strategy, which only transmits partial layer model parameters during the communication process to improve com-munication efficiency. Finally, we conducted experiments on ABD-MRI and ABD-CT datasets to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.

Abstract:

In order to meet the requirements of recognition speed and accuracy for complex photovoltaic (PV) cell defect detection tasks, this paper proposed an improvement strategy based on the Yolov5 network model. First, the model's ability to localize defects was enhanced by adding shallow feature inputs to strengthen the model's fusion of shallow feature information; second, the Squeeze-and-excitation (SE) attention mechanism was introduced to expand the receptive field and strengthen the dependency between feature channels; finally, a smoothing downsampling module was constructed to replace the convolutional sampling, which reduced the loss of information while retaining the important features. The experimental results show that the Yolov5 model based on this improved strategy achieved an average accuracy of 92.06% in the multiclassification defect detection task, and the average recognition speed reached 25.31 frames per second (FPS), which took into account the requirements of performance and real-time performance, and can satisfy the needs of PV cell defect detection in industrial scenarios.

Abstract: (18) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

This article investigates the properties of silicon (SI) and perovskite (PSC) solar cells under bias condition by using impedance spectroscopy. The parallel resistance Rp of SI and PSC are found to decrease with increasing bias, but the capacitance Cp shows the opposite trend. Comparing Rp to Cp, bias has a greater impact on the Cp of both cells. However, the bias has little effect on the series resistance Rs of both cells. Compared with SI cell, the bias is seen to be a greater impact on the Rp and a smaller impact on Cp of PSC. The carrier lifetime in SI and PSC cells first increases and then decreases with bias, and the carrier diffusion length Ld increases almost linearly with bias. Compared to SI cell, the bias has a greater impact on PSC’s Ld.

Double Random Number Encryption Blind Watermarking Technique Based on DWT-DCT Domain

WangChenglong, MaYi, wangxia

Abstract: (22) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Blind watermarking plays a significant role in copyright protection and information hiding. To enhance the security of watermark image information, a dual encryption method is proposed, which combines block shuffling with logistic chaos encryption using two sets of random numbers as keys. This dual encryption technique is applied to blind wa-termark images, utilizing a combination of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and discrete cosine transform (DCT) as the embedding method. First, the watermark image is divided into small blocks, which are shuffled and rearranged using one set of random numbers as the key, while recording the shuffling sequence of block positions. Subsequently, the shuffled blocks are reassembled into an image, and another set of random numbers is used as the key for logistic chaos encryption, rendering the watermark image chaotically invisible. Then, a double discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is applied to the carrier image, followed by a discrete cosine transform (DCT), allowing the encrypted water-mark image to be embedded. This achieves the concealment of the blind watermark. Experimental results demonstrate that this method exhibits robustness, excellent invisibility, and secrecy.

A rendering method for predicting sampling distribution based on lighting and JND information

张日培

Abstract: (15) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

When using Monte Carlo path tracing method to render 3D scenes, artifacts may occur due to insufficient sampling. Di-rectly increasing the number of samples can increase the time cost of the rendering algorithm. An effective strategy is to raise sampling levels iteratively. However, iterative operations introduce additional computational overhead. To solve this problem, we proposed a rendering acceleration method that does not require iterative computations. This method com-bined extraction of the Just Noticeable Difference (JND) information and used a neural network to predict the sampling matrix of the scene, which was adjusted based on the lighting information in the pre-rendered image. To start with, we extracted the JND information from pre-rendered images and estimated the rapid convergence regions, such as environ-ment mapping regions and light source regions. We then employed the Conv-LSTM to estimate the JND features for high-quality rendered images. We then employed the Conv-LSTM to estimate the JND features for high-quality rendered images. We designed a multi-feature fusion network to predict the required number of samples for each pixel. The en-coder took the pre-rendered images as input, which were then fused with the JND features for the decoder to generate the corresponding sampling matrix. In addition, based on the observation about the slow convergence at low lighting areas, we adjusted the sampling matrix according to the lighting clustering results derived from the pre-rendered images. The experimental results indicated that our method has better performance compared with the current methods.

Abstract:

This paper investigates the impedance spectroscopy of monocrystalline silicon solar cells (MSSC) and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) using solar cell dynamic equivalent RC and CSC circuits. Firstly, these circuits effectively represent the dynamic behavior of MSSC and DSSC. Secondly, the measurement method significantly impacts the accuracy of impedance measurements in the high-frequency region. Finally, the series resistance affects the distance between the left end of the impedance spectroscopy and the origin, while the parallel resistance influences the size of the impedance spectroscopy. In the CSC circuit, the relative magnitudes of dielectric relaxation capacitance and chemical capacitance affect the number and position of arc in the impedance spectroscopy. The value of the dielectric relaxation capacitor determines the number of impedance spectroscopy arc. These conclusions provide guidelines for improving the accuracy of solar cell impedance measurements.

Abstract: (24) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

A novel high quality-factor (Q) micro-ring resonator (MRR) structure based on the Si3N4 ridge-slot waveguide is proposed, and the MRR is pumped by orthogonally polarized bicolor pumping to generate dual-comb. We optimized the structure of MRR by the finite element method and precise dispersion engineering, which finally obtained the suitable MRR geometry with negative dispersion characteristics at 1550 nm, having Q of 1.7?10^7 and the absorption loss as low as 2.6?10^-5 dB/cm. The simulation model of generating dual-comb is established as coupled Lugiato-Lefever equation (LLE), which takes into account the higher order dispersion, cross-phase modulation (XPM), multiphoton absorption, and external pumping. Solved by the split-step Fourier method (SSFM) and the fourth-order Runge-Kutta (RK4) method, the numerical results show that the generated dual-comb is periodically equally spaced distribution but with slightly different intensities in the time domain. In the frequency domain, there are 64 comb teeth with intensities higher than -100 dBm with a bandwidth of 120 nm. Particularly, in the case of bicolor orthogo-nal polarization pumping, a smaller amount of detuning does not greatly affect the bandwidth of the dual-comb.

Mid-infrared wavelength switchable and dual-wavelength random laser (RL) output has many potential applications. A polarization-maintaining random fiber Bragg grating (PMRFBG) array based on the photonic localization effect of longitudinal invariant transverse disorder in fiber structure is proposed, which can be used as random feedback of dual-wavelength and wavelength switchable output of random fiber laser. The random fiber Bragg grating (RFBG) array was de-signed on the Panda-type polarization-maintaining fiber (PMF), and the two center wavelengths were 2151.60 nm and 2152.22 nm, respectively; The RFBG array was designed on the bow tie-type PMF, and the two center wavelengths were obtained, which were 2153.08 nm and 2153.96 nm, respectively; The RFBG array with a center wavelength of 2139.27nm was designed on single-mode fiber (SMF). The length of individual fiber Bragging grating (FBG) and PMFBG, the refractive index modulation depth, the number of cascaded gratings, and the distance between gratings have different effects on the FWHM and reflectance of the RFBG and PMRFBG array, but not on the central wavelength, as obtained by simulation using the transmission matrix method. The designed PMRFBG array provides theoretical support for the design of the feedback mechanism of random fiber laser (RFL).

Abstract:

Light guide plate (LGP) is a kind of material used in backlight module. How to improve the quality control of LGP has become the focus of research in the industry. To address issues such as low gray contrast and large proportion of small target defects in LGP images, an improved YOLOv5 neural network based on multi-scale dilation convolution and a novel loss function is proposed. First, the LGP image is preprocessed, and then the Context Amplification Module (CAM) is integrated in the feature fusion part of the detection algorithm to fuse multi-scale expansion convolution features to obtain rich context information. XIoU Loss function is selected as the location regression Loss function. The result shows that this method can effectively improve the detection accuracy and positioning accuracy. Compared with YOLOv5, the average accuracy is increased by 4.7%, and the recall rate is increased by 27%. It can achieve accurate detection of defects such as white/bright spots, black spots,line scratches,and surface foreign objects in LGP.

Abstract:

In this paper, we propose and numerically characterize the optical characteristics of a high sensitivity dual polarization four channels surface plasmon resonance refractive index sensor with wide detection range and high linearity based on photonic crystal fiber (PCF). Four light transmission channels are constructed by using big air holes. The small rectangular air hole in the center of the fiber core is used to add asymmetry. We use gold plasma material to achieve better sensing performance. A thin film of TiO2 is placed on the PCF surface, which assists gold in the adhesion on PCF. The maximum wavelength sensitivity of the sensor can reach 20000 nm/RIU in both x and y polarization modes. While the maximum wavelength resolution of the sensor is 5×10-6 RIU. The average wavelength sensitivity reached 15900nm/RIU and 15800nm/RIU in x and y polarization mode. The sensor features R2=0.9969 / R2=0.9966 high linear performance in x and y polarization mode and the maximum FOM values 509.13 RIU-1 / 489.63 RIU-1 in x and y polarization mode. Besides the sensor’s detection range is 1.26-1.36, which is a wide refractive index detection range. The sensor has a wide range of applications in biomedical and other fields.

MA Yuzhao, ZHOU Jingyi

Abstract: (26) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Performance of non-line-of-sight (NLOS) ultraviolet (UV) communication is closely related with the communication range, system geometry and the atmosphere aerosol properties. In the paper we for the first time investigate the path loss of the NLOS UV communication systems in both monodisperse and polydisperse aerosol systems based on the Monte-Carlo method. The mixed aerosols composed of black carbon and sulfate are considered as the transmission media. The core-shell, homogeneous, and external mixing model are assumed. Simulation results show that the performance of the NLOS UV communication in the monodisperse aerosol is similar to that in polydisperse aerosol. The mixed state of the aerosols has significant influences on the performance of the communication system. The path loss of the communication system in externally mixed aerosol is smaller than that in internally mixed aerosol. Our simulation results are useful for the design of the NLOS UV communication systems.

Hyperbolic Cosine Transformer for LiDAR 3D Object Detection

Fanhang Yang

Abstract: (21) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Recently, Transformer has achieved great success in computer vision. However, it is constrained because the spatial and temporal complexity grows quadratically with the number of large points in 3D object detection applications. Previous point-wise methods are suffering from time consumption and limited receptive fields to capture information among points. To address these limitations, we propose the cosh-attention, which reduces the computation complexity of space and time from the quadratic order to linear order with respect to the number of points. In the cosh-attention, the traditional softmax operator is replaced by non-negative ReLU activation and hyperbolic-cosine-based operator with re-weighting mechanism. Then based on the cosh-attention, we present a two-stage hyperbolic cosine transformer (ChTR3D) for 3D object detection from point clouds. It refines proposals by applying cosh-attention in linear computation complexity to encode rich contextual relationships among points. Extensive experiments on the widely used KITTI dataset demonstrate that, compared with vanilla attention, the cosh-attention significantly improves the inference speed with competitive performance. Experiment results show that, among two-stage state-of-the-art methods using point-level features to refine proposals, the proposed ChTR3D is the fastest one.

Weihua Zhang, Jinlin Mu, Zhengrong Tong, Haozheng Yu, Yipeng Tao, Hao Wang

Abstract: (51) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

A temperature-insensitive micro-displacement sensor based on a spindle-shaped single mode fiber (SMF) is presented and demonstrated. The SMF is bent into a balloon-shaped SMF and burned into a spindle-shaped SMF by a flame. Due to the bending of the fiber, part of the incident light leaks from the fiber core into the fiber cladding, which excites higher order cladding modes. Therefore, modal interference occurs. The experimental results show that the maximum sensitivity of the sensors is -203 pm/μm when micro-displacement varies from 0 to 80 μm. The sensors are insensitive to temperature in the range of 20-70℃. In addition, the sensors have advantages of simple structure, low cost, small volume, high sensitivity and stability, which can be widely used in numerous high-precision industrial measurements and civil engineering structure monitoring fields.

Abstract: (60) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Models dedicated to building long-range dependencies often exhibit degraded performance when transferred to remote sensing images. Vision Transformers (ViTs) is a new paradigm in computer vision that uses multi-head self-attention ra-ther than convolution as the main computational module, with global modeling capabilities. How-ever, its performance on small datasets is usually far inferior to that of convolutional neural networks (CNNs). In this work, we propose a Small Window SWinUNet (2SWUNet) for building extraction from high-resolution remote sensing images. Firstly, 2SWUNet is trained based on Swin Transformer by designing a fully symmetric encod-er-decoder U-shaped architecture. Secondly, to construct a reasonable U-shaped architecture for building extraction from high-resolution remote sensing images, the different forms of patch expansion are explored to simulate up-sampling operations and recover feature map resolution. Then, the small window-based multi-head self-attention (W-MSA) is designed to reduce the computational and memory burden, which is more appropriate for the features of remote sensing images. Meanwhile, the pre-training mechanism is advanced to make up for the lack of decoder parameters. Finally, comparison experiments with other mainstream CNNs and ViTs validate the superiority of the proposed model. In addition, by visualizing the effective receptive field, we dis-cover that the local information is more conducive to predicting in remote sensing images.

Abstract: (14) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Cationic doping is considered to be an effective way to improve the efficiency of Cu2ZnSn (S, Se) 4 (CZTSSe) photovoltaic materials. In order to improve the quality of the absorption layer of the crystal film, CZTSSe film was doped with some Cd to change the ratio of Cd and Zn in the precursor solution. XRD, Raman, SEM, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and other results showed that Cd successfully replaced Zn in the crystal lattice during the post-selenization process. The formation of harmful Zn-related defects was reduced, the grain size and crystallinity of the films were significantly increased, and the photoelectric properties of the films such as crystal quality and structural morphology were improved. As the ratio of Cd/(Cd Zn) increased from 0 to 0.35, the band gap of CZCTSSe decreased to 1.02eV. When Cd/(Cd Zn)=0.25, the crystallinity and grain size reached the best value, and the film surface was smooth and dense, which inhibited the formation of the second phase on the surface of CZCTSSe. The theoretical basis and experimental results showed that proper Cd doping can promote the growth of grain, so that compact CCZTSSe films with larger grain size and fewer holes could be prepared.

Abstract: (66) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The distributed acoustic sensing technology was used for real-time speech reproduction and recognition, in which the voiceprint can be extracted by the Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) method. A classic ancient Chinese poem “You Zi Yin”, also called “A Traveler’s Song”, was analyzed both in time and frequency domain, where its real-time reproduction was achieved with a 116.91 ms time-delay. The smaller scaled MFCC0 at 1/12 of MFCC matrix was taken as a feature vector of each line against the ambient noise, which provides a recognition method via cross-correlation among the six original and recovered verse pairs. The averaged cross-correlation coefficient of the matching pairs is calculated 0.5806 higher than 0.1883 of the nonmatched pairs, promising an accurate and fast method for real-time speech reproduction and recognition over a passive optical fiber.

JI Yuehui, JIANG Jingwei, LIU Junjie, Song Yu, GAO Qiang

Abstract: (54) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Although deep learning methods have been widely applied to slam visual odometry over the past decade with impres-sive improvements, their accuracy remains limited in complex dynamic environments. In this paper, we use a compo-site mask-based generative adversarial network to predict camera motion and binocular depth maps. Specifically, a perceptual generator is first designed to obtain the corresponding parallax map and optical flow from between two neighboring frames. Then, an iterative pose improvement strategy is proposed to improve the accuracy of pose estima-tion. Finally, a composite mask is embedded in the discriminator to sense structural deformations in the synthetic vir-tual image, thus encouraging the generator to learn additional structural level information to improve the accuracy of pose estimation. Detailed quantitative and qualitative evaluations on the KITTI dataset show that the proposed framework outperforms existing conventional, supervised learning and unsupervised depth VO methods, providing better results in both pose estimation and depth estimation.

Abstract: (15) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

This paper proposes a method for learning background restoration for infrared small target detection, employing a local sparse dictionary alongside an equalized structural texture representation. The method is specifically designed for the detection of small infrared targets, accommodating various levels of brightness, spatial size, and intensity. Our proposed model intelligently combines global low-rankness and local sparsity to estimate the rank of the background tensor, leveraging spatial and structural information to overcome the limitations posed by insufficient detailed texture knowledge. Subsequently, a structural texture representation, combining local gradient maps and local intensity maps, is applied to emphasize small objects. Experimental results demonstrate the clear superiority of our proposed method over existing state-of-the-art techniques.

Cao Shuangshuang, Fan Xinye, Fang Wenjing, Chen Huawei, Bai Chenglin, Tong Cunzhu

Abstract: (52) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The multi-wavelength optical switch based on an all-dielectric metastructure consisting of four asymmetric semi-circular rings was designed and analyzed in this paper. Four Fano resonance modes, which can be explained by bound states in the continumm (BIC) theory, are excited in our structure with maximum Q-factor of about 2450 and modulation depth close to 100%. By changing the polarization direction of the incident light, the transmission amplitude of Fano resonances can get effectively modulated. Based on this tuning property, the metastructure can achieve a multi-wavelength optical switch and the maximum extinction ratio can reach 38.3 dB. In addition, the results indicate that the Fano resonances are sensitive to the changes of refractive index. The sensitivity(S) and the figure of merit (FOM) are 197 nm/RIU and 492 RIU-1. The proposed metastructure has promising potential in applications such as optical switches, sensors, modulators and lasers.

PointNetV3: feature extraction with position encoding

JunWang, Wang Xuefei, Zhou Boxiong, Guo Dongyan

Abstract: (21) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Feature extraction of point clouds is a fundamental component of 3D vision tasks. While existing feature extraction net-works primarily focus on enhancing the geometric perception abilities of networks and overlook the crucial role played by coordinates. For instance, though two airplane wings share the same shape, it demands distinct feature representations due to their differing positions. In this paper, we introduce a novel module called Position-Aware Module (PAM) to lev-erages the coordinate features of points for positional encoding, and integrating this encoding into the feature extraction network to provide essential positional context. Furthermore, we embed PAM into the PointNet framework, and de-sign a novel feature extraction network, named PointNetV3. To validate the effectiveness of PointNetV3, we conducted comprehensive experiments including classification, object tracking and object detection on point cloud. The results of remarkable improvement in three tasks demonstrate the exceptional performance achieved by PointNetV3 in point cloud processing.

Abstract: (19) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

CZTSSe thin film solar cells, with adjustable bandgap and rich elemental content, hold promise in next-gen photovoltaics. Crystalline quality is pivotal for efficient light absorption and carrier transport. During the post-selenization process, understanding crystal growth mechanisms, and improving layer quality are essential. We explored the effects of ramp rate and annealing temperature on CZTSSe films, using XRD, Raman, SEM, and UV-Vis. The optimal performance occurred at 25.25 ?C/min ramp rate and 530?C annealing. This led to smoother surfaces, higher density, and larger grains. This condition produced a single-layer structure with large grains, no secondary phases, and a 1.14 eV bandgap, making it promising for photovoltaic applications. The study has highlighted the effect of selenization conditions on the characteristics of the CZTSSe absorber layer and has provided valuable information for developing CZTSSe thin film solar cells.

Abstract: (30) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In order to identify the tilt direction of the self-mixing signals under weak feedback regime interfered by noise, a deep learning method is proposed. The one-dimensional U-Net(1D U-Net) neural network can identify the direction of the self-mixing fringes accurately and quickly. In the process of measurement, the measurement signal can be normalized and then the neural network can be used to discriminate the direction. Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method is suitable for self-mixing interference signals with noise in the whole weak feedback regime, and can maintain a high discrimination accuracy for signals interfered by 5dB large noise. Combined with fringe counting method, accurate and rapid displacement reconstruction can be realized.

RepColor: Deep coloring algorithm combining semantic categories

Sun lei, Ju dong jie

Abstract: (21) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Image coloring is an inherently uncertain and multimodal problem. By inputting a grayscale image into a coloring network, visually plausible colored photos can be generated. Conventional methods primarily rely on semantic information for image colorization. Although effective in coloring images with clear semantic information, these methods still suffer from color contamination and semantic confusion. This is largely due to the limited capacity of convolutional neural networks to effectively learn deep semantic information inherent in images.In this paper, we propose a network structure that addresses these limitations by leveraging multi-level semantic information classification and fusion. Additionally, we introduce a global semantic fusion network to combat the issues of color contamination. The proposed coloring encoder accurately extracts object-level semantic information from images.To further enhance visual plausibility, we employ a self-supervised adversarial training method. We train the network structure on various datasets with varying amounts of data and evaluate its performance using the ImageNet validation set and COCO validation set. Experimental results demonstrate that our proposed RepColor can generate more realistic images compared to previous approaches, showcasing its high generalization ability.

Abstract:

In this paper, we have designed and simulated all-optical tristate Pauli X, Y and Z gates using 2D photonic crystal. Simple line and point defects have been used to design the structure. The performance of the structure has been analyzed and investigated by plane wave expansion and finite difference time domain methods.

Abstract: (54) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Most of existing methods exhibit poor performance in detecting forged images due to the small size of tampered areas and the limited pixel difference between untampered and tampered regions. To alleviate the above problem, a dou-ble-branch tampered image detection based on multi-scale features is proposed. Firstly, we introduce a fusion module based on attention mechanism in the first branch to enhance the network's sensitivity towards tampered regions. Secondly, we construct a second branch specifically designed for detection, aiming to identify subtle differences between tampered and untampered areas by utilizing rich edge information from shallow features as guidance. Compared to the existing methods on the public benchmark datasets CASIA1.0, Columbia and NIST16, the values of F1-Score reached 0.766,0.9 and 0.93 on the those datasets respectively. The experimental results show that our method could significantly improve the accuracy on detecting the tampered area.

Abstract: (17) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

High-precision methane gas detection is of great importance in industrial safety, energy production and environmental protection, etc. However, in the existing measurement techniques, the methane gas concentration information is susceptible to noise, which leads to its useful signal being drowned by noise. A fusion algorithm of variational modal decomposition (VMD) and improved wavelet threshold filtering is proposed, which is used in combination with tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) to implement a non-contact, high-resolution methane gas concentration detection. The fusion algorithm can perform noise reduction and further segmentation of the methane gas detection signal. And the simulation and experiment verify the effectiveness of the fusion algorithm, and the experimental results show that for the detection of air containing 10 ppm, 30 ppm, 60 ppm, 80 ppm, and 99 ppm methane, the errors are 12.75%, 8.18%, 3.37%, 2.46%, and 1.78%, respectively.

Abstract: (12) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The overlapping frequency domain equalization (O-FDE) in digital signal processing (DSP) is frequently employed to provide dispersion compensation in long-distance coherent fiber optical communications. However, the change in overlapping symbol length that occurs during the processing of the O-FDE algorithm will typically be influenced by the decision and zero filling of the last subblock, which is harmful to the robustness of the O-FDE algorithm. In this study, with a thorough robustness analysis on changing overlapping symbol length, we present a novel method for decision and zero filling of the last subblock and examine the correspondingly resulting error vector magnitude (EVM) and symbol error ratio (SER) under different values of optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR), chromatic dispersion, and overlapped symbol lengths.

Abstract:

In order to achieve high accuracy measurement for non-landing vehicle-mounted photoelectric theodolite (NVPT) with continuous zoom optical system, a theoretical model of pointing error is presented. Starting with the working mode, the error source of the whole closed loop which affects the pointing error is analyzed. The measurement equation is derived using a coordinate transformation. The pointing error model is then obtained with the help of Mont Carlo method. The error of a NVPT prototype is measured, showing that the pointing error can be predicted accurately. Finally, a high precision NVPT with continuous zoom optical system is successfully designed and analyzed, with an accuracy of 11.9″ at azimuth and 10.9″ at elevation when the optical focal length is set between 1000 mm and 4000 mm.

A complementary binary code based phase unwrapping method

Wenjie Li, Sun Huanghe, Li Fuquan, Wang beibei, Wang Haijian, Gao Xingyu

Abstract: (19) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Phase unwrapping is used to establish the mapping relationship between camera and projector, which is ones of the key technologies in fringe projection profilometry (FPP) based 3D measurement. Although complementary gray code assisted phase unwrapping technology can get a good result on the periodic boundary, it needs more coded images to obtain a high frequency fringe. Aiming at this problem, a complementary binary code assisted phase unwrapping method is proposed in this paper. According to the periodic consistency between the wrapping phase and binary codes, the coded patterns are generated. Then the connected domain strategy is performed to calculate the fringe orders using the positive and negative image binarization. To avoid the mistake near the periodic boundary, complementary binary code inspired by the complementary gray code is proposed. The fringe order correction is also discussed for different situations in the first measured period. Only two binary images are needed in the proposed method, and the fringe frequency is not limited. Both the simulation and experiment have verified the feasibility of proposed method.

Abstract:

A triple-band miniaturized end-fire antenna based on the odd modes of spoof surface plasmonic polariton (SSPP) waveguide resonator is proposed in this paper. To meet the ever increasing demand for more communication channels and less antenna sizes, multi-band antennas are currently under intensive investigation. By a novel feeding method, three odd modes are excited on an SSPP waveguide resonator, which performs as an end-fire antenna operating at three bands, 7.15-7.26GHz, 11.6-12.2GHz and 13.5-13.64GHz. It exhibits reasonably high and stable maximum gains of 5.26, 7.97 and 10.1dBi and maximum efficiencies of 64%, 92% and 98% at the three bands, respectively. Moreover, in the second band the main beam angle shows a frequency dependence with a total scanning angle of 19°. The miniaturized triple-band antenna has a great potential to be applied in wireless communication systems, satellite communication and radar systems.

hu xaiofeng, xue yuming, dai hongli, wang luoxin, ni meng, bai xin

Abstract: (29) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

CZTSSe is considered to be the most potential light-absorbing material to replace CIGS, but the actual photoelectric conversion efficiency of this kind of cell stagnates at 13.6%. One of the reasons for the low efficiency is the high recombination rate of carriers at the interface. In this paper, in order to reduce the carrier recombination, a new solar cell structure with double absorber layers AZO/i-ZnO/CdS/CZTSSe1/CZTSSe2/Mo was proposed, and the optimal conduction band offset of CdS/CZTSSe1 interface and CZTSSe1/CZTSSe2 interface were determined by changing the S ratio of CZTSSe1 and CZTSSe2, and the effect of thickness of CZTSSe1 on the performance of the cell were studied. The efficiency of the optimized single and double absorber layers reached 17.97% and 23.4% respectively. Compared with the single absorber layer structure, the proposed structure with double absorber layers had better cell performance.

Abstract: (17) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Sign language is the primary way for deaf people to communicate, but hearing people don't understand sign language. Researchers hope to use artificial intelligence technology to help deaf people integrate into society so that hearing people can understand the meaning of sign language. Sign language recognition and translation (SLRT) urgently need large-scale sign language video data to realize its practical application. And the improvement of data quality will also have a positive impact on its recognition and translation effect. To avoid the high cost of manual screening of massive data, this paper proposes a Two Information Streams Transformer (TIST) model to judge whether the quality of a sign language video is qualified. Under the condition of inconsistent sign language style, TIST can use two cross transformers to judge wrong videos where the signer misuses, misses some gestures, wrong gestures order, etc. And TIST also uses the temporal transformer to focus on important frames in the sign language temporal sequence. In addition, this paper also proposes the self-adaptive GCN to enhance the ability to extract sign gestures in skeletal nodes. Experimentally, TIST achieved state-of-the art sign language screening accuracy. To verify that data quality screening is effective in improving sign language recognition, this paper uses VAC as the baseline model. The experimental results show that the screened dataset can achieve better WER than the unscreened dataset.

Abstract:

A switchable and tunable multi-wavelength Brillouin erbium-doped fiber laser (MWBEFL) is designed and experimentally demonstrated. A Sagnac loop filter is employed as the switcher to obtain the double Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) of 0.172nm (~20GHz) and the quadruple BFS of 0.35nm (~40GHz). The working principles of the proposed laser are theoretically analyzed. The gain in the laser cavity is hybrid gain, which is provided by stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and erbium-doped fiber (EDF). In addition, the 10km single mode fiber (SMF) is not only used as a Brillouin frequency shifter but also provides a certain degree of random distributed feedback. The experimental results show that up to 9 Stokes lines with a wavelength interval of 0.172nm can be obtained. The optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) is greater than 33 dB. The utilization of 980nm pump power and Brillouin pump (BP) power has enhanced the spectral bandwidth of multi-wavelength generation. By adjusting the BP wavelength to investigate the tunability of the fiber laser, the output of 2-5 laser channels can be realized corresponding to 20 nm wavelength range. This approach is simple and can be employed for the microwave generation of other frequency ranges subject to the filtering shift of the Sagnac loop.

Abstract:

Recently, the research on transformers in deep learning makes a tremendous progress in nature language processing and computer vision. Due to the inherent invariant permutation, transformers provide solutions to unordered points problems faced by deep learning in point cloud object detection. In this paper, a two-stage LiDAR 3D object de-tection framework is presented, namely Point-Voxel Dual Transformer (PV-DT3D), which is a transformer-based method. In the proposed PV-DT3D, point-voxel fusion features are used for proposal refinement. Specifically, in the PV-DT3D, keypoints are sampled from entire point cloud scene and used to encode representative scene features via a proposal-aware voxel set abstraction module. Then according to the generated proposals by region proposal networks (RPN), the internal encoded keypoints are fed into dual transformer encoder-decoder architecture. In 3D object detection, for the first time, the proposed PV-DT3D takes advantages of both pointwise transformer and channel-wise architecture for capturing contexual information from the perspective of spatial and channel dimen-sions. Experiments conducted on the highly competitive KITTI 3D car detection leaderboard show that, the PV-DT3D achieves superior detection accuracy among state-of-the-art point-voxel-based methods.

Abstract:

In this paper, an actively Q-switched wavelength injection-locking random fiber laser based on random phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating is proposed, and the performance of the laser is verified by experiments. Within the reflection bandwidth of random phase-shifted fiber gratings from 1549.2 to 1549.9nm, different laser modes with stable central wavelength and peak power can be selected by changing the wavelength of the injected light. The power fluctuation within one hour is less than 0.1dBm, and the central wavelength drift is less than 0.02nm. When the pump power increases from 90mW to 300mW, the pulse width decreases from 3.2μs to 1.5μs, and the pulse repetition frequency is 20kHz. The Random fiber laser (RFL) can reach a stable locking state at the lowest pump power of 100mW and the lowest injection power of 3dBm. When the wavelength is locked, the output pulse is a single pulse. On the contrary, the unlocked output pulse is multi-pulse. The laser has the characteristics of high wavelength tunability in the reflection range of random phase shift fiber bragg grating (RPS-FBG), and it can be an ideal light source in the fields of laser imaging and pulse coding.

Abstract: (16) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

This article analyzes the transmission line characteristics of plasmonic Hybrid Metal Insulator Metal (HMIM) waveguide, circular ring resonator (CRR) based dual-band band-pass filters with two transmission poles in both pass-bands in the optical regime using coupled line feed. The transmission line characteristics of an HMIM waveguide, such as characteris-tic impedance (ZPV), effective refractive index (Neff) and propagation length (Lspp) have been obtained by using full wave simulation. Using basic HMIM slot waveguide, a CRR with periodic loading of double and triple ring CRR are numerically analyzed. Two input ports have been used for excitation which are located at the separation of 180? positions along the CRR, and is coupled with the ring by parallel coupled lines, producing the dual pass-bands with the synchro-nous excitation of two transmission poles. The proposed Double Ring Dual-Band Band Pass Filter (DR-DB-BPF) offers 35 dB extinction ratio (ER), 299.69 nm free spectral range (FSR) and narrow band Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) of 78.057-112.43 nm. The Triple Ring DB-BPF (TR-DB-BPF) has 22.5 dB ER, FSR of 292.18 nm and FWHM is 42.751-59.58 nm. The proposed filters are very useful in the development of dual-band filters for electronic photonic integrated circuits (EPICs), as the optical signals are filtered at two wavelengths simultaneously.

Abstract:

Silicon substrates were plasma treated before being coated by plasma-polymerized Hexamethyldisilazane (pp-HMDSN) thin films. The pretreatments included oxygen, SF6 and argon plasmas. The effect of these pretreatments on the properties of deposited thin films was studied, including film thickness, morphology and photoluminescence (PL). The deposition of pp-HMDSN thin films was performed using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). It was found that the substrate pretreatment induces an increase of film thickness, and the morphology of the deposited thin film follows that of the treated substrate, while the intensity of PL increases due to change of nanostructure accompanied with roughness and thin film thickness increase.

Abstract:

Remote sensing images are taken at high altitude from above, with complex spatial scenes of images and a large number of target types. The detection of image targets on large scale remote sensing images suffers from the problem of small target size and target density.The paper here proposes an improved model for remote sensing image detection based on YOLOv7. First, the small-scale detection layer is added to reacquire tracking frames to improve the network's recognition ability of small-scale targets; then Bottleneck Transformers are fused in the backbone to make full use of the CNN+Transformer architecture to enhance the feature extraction ability of the network; after that, the CBAM attention mechanism is added in the head to improve the model's ability of small-scale target; Finally, the non-maximum suppressed NMS of YOLOv7 algorithm is changed to DIOU_NMS to improve the detection ability of overlapping targets in the network. The results show that the method in this paper can improve the detection rate of small-scale targets in remote sensing images and effectively solve the problem of high overlap, and is tested on the NWPU-VHR10 and DOTA datasets, and the accuracy of the improved model is improved by 6.3% and 4.2%, respectively, compared with the standard yolov7 algorithm.

Abstract: (20) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The noise-like pulses (NLPs) with tunable fraction of the pedestal height in the whole intensity autocorrelation (AC) trace are numerically demonstrated in the designed erbium-doped fiber (EDF) mode-locked laser, which contains the saturable absorber (SA) with nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR), sinusoidal-shaped or Gaussian-shaped filter, two segments of EDFs, and two pieces of single-mode fibers with normal dispersion and anomalous dispersion, respectively. The pedestal ratio of the intensity AC trace can be tuned by changing the gain saturation energies of EDFs. The results show that when the net cavity dispersion is 1.06 ps2, the tuning range of the pedestal ratio for the NLPs can reach its maximum values, which are 0.51-0.89 and 0.58-0.88 for the sinusoidal-shaped and Gaussian-shaped filters, respec-tively. In addition, an appropriate choice of filter bandwidth is also conducive to obtain a wide range of the tuning pedestal ratio for the intensity AC trace.

Li Wenchao, Wang Chao, Yang Hongda, Hang Ying, Wang Wei

Abstract: (14) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In order to compensate the dispersion accumulated in a single mode fiber for higher communication capacity, a simplified dispersion-compensation microstructure fiber with seven cores is proposed in this paper. The fiber’s cladding is made of pure silica without air holes, and its outer cores are composed of 6 germanium up-doped cylinders, which has the ad-vantage of simple structure. The Finite Element Method and Beam Propagation Method is used to study the properties of the fiber, and the relationship between the structure parameters of the fiber and the dispersion, as well as the phase matching wavelength, is obtained. By optimizing the structural parameters of the fiber, the dispersion of the fiber can reach -5291.47ps/(nm-km) at 1550nm, and the coupling loss to the conventional single-mode fiber is only 0.137dB. Compared with the conventional dispersion-compensation fiber, the fiber has lots of advantages, such as single mode transmission, easy to fabricate and low coupling loss with traditional single mode fiber, etc.

Abstract: (22) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Robustness to noise, outliers, and corruption is an important issue in image feature extraction. A discriminative low-rank embedded image feature extraction algorithm is proposed in this paper to address this problem. Firstly, manifold con-straints are introduced based on the low-rank embedding (LRE) approach to capture the geometric structure of the local manifold, taking into account both local and global information. Secondly, a discriminant analysis term is also introduced to obtain global discriminant information and learn the optimal projection matrix for data dimensionality reduction. Finally, the test samples are projected into a low-dimensional space for classification. Numerical experiments show that the classi-fication accuracy of the method proposed in this paper is 95.62%, 95.22%, 86.38%, and 86.54% on the ORL, CMUPIE, AR, and COIL20 datasets, respectively, which is better than that of the dimensionality reduction-based image feature ex-traction algorithm.

Abstract:

Aiming at the problems of low detection efficiency and difficult positioning of traditional steel surface defect detection methods, a lightweight steel surface defect detection model based on YOLOv7 is proposed. First, a CSS Block module is proposed, which uses more lightweight operations to obtain redundant information in the feature map, reduces the amount of computation, and effectively improves the detection speed. Secondly, the improved SPPCSPC structure is adopted to ensure that the model can also pay attention to the defect location information while predicting the defect category information, obtain richer defect features. In addition, the convolution operation in the original model is simplified, which significantly reduces the size of the model and helps to improve the detection speed. Finally, using EIOU Loss to focus on high-quality Anchors, speed up convergence and improve positioning accuracy. Experiments were carried out on the NEU-DET steel surface defect data set. Compared with the original YOLOv7 model, the number of parameters of this model was reduced by 40%, the FPS reached 112, and the average accuracy reached 79.1%., the detection accuracy and speed have been improved, which can meet the needs of steel surface defect detection.□

Abstract: (16) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In this paper, we present an electrically controlled tunable photonic crystal filter based on thin-film lithium niobate. The filter incorporates a photonic crystal microcavity structure within the straight waveguide, enabling electronic tuning of the transmitted wavelength through added electrode structures. The optimized microcavity filter design achieves a balance between high transmission rate and quality factor, with a transmission center wavelength of 1551.6nm, peak transmission rate of 96.1%, and quality factor of 5054. Moreover, the filter can shift the central wavelength of the transmission spectrum by applying voltage to the electrodes, with a tuning sensitivity of 13.8pm/V. The proposed tunable filter adopts a simple-to-fabricate air-hole structure and boasts a compact size (length: 11.57μm, width: 5.27μm, area: 60.97μm2), making it highly suitable for large-scale integration. These features make the filter promising for broad applications in the fields of photonic integration and optical communication.

Abstract:

We have reported the characteristics of a z-scan for the Poly(azaneylylidene-acylene) "DAZA" polymer as nonlinear medium with a large nonlinear phase shift using CW laser beam. It has been verified that the Fresnel diffraction model is applicable for analyses of z-scan measurements with DAZA polymer at high power. It was found that z-scan curves with peak-to-valley features appear as the applied light intensity increases in the case of a large nonlinear phase shift. The z-scan experiments were carried out of DAZA polymer by a CW laser to verify the theoretical calculations in the case of a large nonlinear phase shift model. Our results show good agreements between the experimental data and the proposed theoretical model.

Abstract:

Different production origins of Angelica dahurica have varying pharmacological effects. In order to achieve fast and accurate identification of the production origin of Angelica dahurica, this study combines laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) technology with machine learning algorithms to identify the original production origin of Angelica dahurica. Sliced samples of Angelica dahurica were taken from four regions: Hebei, Henan, Zhejiang, and Sichuan. The spectral data from the sliced samples were used as features, and different algorithms including support vector machine (SVM), backpropagation (BP) neural network, genetic algorithm-backpropagation (GA-BP) neural network, particle swarm optimization-backpropagation (PSO-BP) neural network, convolutional neural network (CNN), and CNN-SVM were employed to classify the origin of Angelica dahurica samples. The results show that the average prediction accuracy of the BP, GA-BP, and PSO-BP algorithms reached 89.64%, 89.66%, and 89.93% respectively. The average prediction accuracy of the SVM, CNN, and CNN-SVM algorithms reached 89.92%, 90.32%, and 90.53% respectively. The average prediction accuracy improved when the two algorithms were combined, and the CNN-SVM algorithm showed a 44% increase in the lowest prediction accuracy compared to the SVM algorithm. Overall, the combination of the CNN-SVM algorithm and LIBS technology demonstrated the best performance for identifying the origin of Angelica dahurica, a traditional Chinese medicinal herb, and can provide reference for the origin identification of medicinal materials.

An Improved Construction Algorithm of Polar Codes Based on the Frozen Bits

Yuan Jianguo

Abstract: (20) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In order to improve the problems that the Minimum Hamming Weight (MHW) of the polar codes of the traditional Gaussian Approximation (GA) construction is small and its performance is not good enough, an improved channel construction algorithm of polar codes based on frozen bits is proposed by combining the construction of the RM code to effectively increase the MHW and analyzing the correcting and checking functions of the frozen bits in the Successive Cancellation List (SCL) decoding. The construction algorithm selects the channel with the smaller row weight corresponding to the information channel in the channel construction stage, and some channels are set as the frozen channels under the proposed frozen channel setting principle. So the proposed construction algorithm not only eliminates the channels with the smaller row weight and optimizes the distance spectrum of polar codes, but also makes full use of the checking ability of the frozen bit in SCL decoding to improve the error correction performance of polar codes. The polar codes constructed by this algorithm is named as FRM-Polar codes. The simulation results show that the proposed FRM-Polar codes have a larger performance gain than the RM-Polar codes and the polar codes constructed by GA under the different code-length. In addition, the proposed construction algorithm has the same complexity as the construction algorithm of the RM-Polar codes.

Jianjun Liu

Abstract: (27) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women, which seriously threatens the physical and mental health of women worldwide. The existing detection methods have problems such as large sample consumption, time-consuming sample preparation, expensive equipment, and low sensitivity. In order to solve these problems, this paper proposes a method for quickly detecting breast cancer using surface-functionalized terahertz metamaterial biosensors. The use of PIK3CA-modified sensors enhances the detection sensitivity and specificity of exosomes. Based on the red shift of the sensor absorption peak caused by exosomes, breast cancer patients can be distinguished from healthy controls. This study demonstrates that exosome detection is effective for the repeatable and non-invasive diagnosis of breast cancer patients. The terahertz metamaterial biosensor designed in this paper has high specificity, repeatability, and sensitivity, and has great potential for application in the development of modern diagnostic instruments.

M Musthafa, Azura Hamzah, Wei Ling, Rosol, Mohamed, Harun

Abstract: (49) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

MXenes, drawn from MAX phases are special two-dimensional substances with numerous advantages in nonlinear optics, specifically in giant and ultrashort pulsed-laser applications. Ti3C2Tx, and Ti2CTx nanosheets however, rapidly deteriorate under ambient conditions, limiting their applications. This paper demonstrates how excellent modulation depth of one of the MAX phase compounds V2ZnC makes it a brilliant saturable absorber in passively Q-switched all-fibre pulsed lasers—integrated such that a 16.73-µm V2ZnC-PVA thin film acts as saturable absorber in the laser. Saturable and non-saturable absorptions were found to be 13.2 % and 10.47 %, while saturation optical intensity and modulation depth were 6.25 kW/cm2 and 12.43 %, respectively, illustrating the optical nonlinearity. The superiority of MAX-PVA, fabricated in four distinct ratios was demonstrated by the fact that it self-starts a giant pulsed laser at pump power as low as 22.5 mW and firmly accomplished 120.6 kHz repetition rate with a pulse width of 2.08 µs. It is a fine SA for the use of pulsed-laser production using all-fibre laser due to fabrication simplicity and great optical, thermophysical, and mechanical qualities.

Numerical investigation of supercontinuum generation and optical frequency combs in a SiN-based PCF with high nonlinear coefficient

Saeed Olyaee, Alizadeh, Seifouri

Abstract: (19) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In this paper, a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) with a dispersion-engineered and high nonlinear coefficient has been designed for supercontinuum generation and frequency comb generation. The proposed PCF has a Si3N4 rod in the core. This rod increases the contrast between the core and the cladding which provides more optical confinement in the core. This confinement reduces the effective mode area of PCF and thus increases the nonlinear coefficient. The effective mod area and the nonlinear coefficient are obtained "0.8" 14〖 μm〗^2 and 25 W-1m-1, respectively. By varying different parameters for dispersion engineering, a suitable dispersion profile for the structure has been obtained so that the proposed PCF has two zero dispersion wavelengths (ZDWs) at 900 nm and 1590 nm. By injecting an input pulse at a wavelength of 1555 nm and a power of 1 kW with a duration of 50 fs to the designed PCF with a length of 4 mm, the output spectrum is broadened in the range of 800 nm to 3500 nm. For frequency comb generation by the four-wave mixing method, phase matching conditions must be provided, and for that, the pumped wavelength must be in the anomalous dispersion regime and near to zero dispersion wavelength. As a result, two continuous wave laser pumping at the wavelengths of 1551 nm and 1558 nm have been injected into the PCF and optical frequency combs with a pulse width of 1 nm and a free spectral range of 7 nm has been obtained.

Research on denoising of joint detection signal of water quality with multi-parameter based on IEEMD

Li Dejian

Abstract: (9) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

An improved ensemble empirical mode decomposition (IEEMD) is suggested to process water quality spectral signals in order to address the issue that noise interference makes it difficult to extract and evaluate water quality spectral signals. This algorithm effectively solves the problems of modal mixing, poor reconstruction accuracy in the empirical mode decomposition (EMD), and a large amount of calculation in the ensemble empirical mode decomposition (EEMD). Based on EEMD, IEEMD firstly preprocesses the original water quality spectral signals, then performs savitzky-golay (S-G) smoothing on the decomposed effective intrinsic mode function (IMF) components, and finally reconstructs them to obtain the denoised signals. Water sample data at different concentrations can be accurately analyzed based on the noise-reduced spectral signals. In this paper, three water quality parameters are used as research objects: benzene (C6H6), benzo(b)fluoranthene (C20H12), and chemical oxygen demand (COD). The original water quality multi-parameter (C6H6, C20H12, COD) spectral signals were subjected to denoising based on the IEEMD and the water quality multi-parameter joint detection technology. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the correlation coefficient (R2) of the fitted curves obtained from the processing of the IEEMD were compared and analyzed with those obtained from the processing of the EMD and the EEMD. The experimental results show that the SNR of the spectral signals and the R2 of the fitting curve in three water quality parameters have been significantly improved. Therefore, the IEEMD effectively improves the phenomenon of modal mixing, reduces the amount of calculation, improves the reconstruction accuracy, and provides an important guarantee for the effective extraction of multi-parameter spectral signals of water quality.

Abstract:

We have successfully demonstrated a new sensor based on an optical fiber bundle for measuring formaldehyde concen-tration. Our sensor was tested using two different methods based on displacement tuning and reflection measurement in conjunction with a UV light source. The sample was illuminated with the UV-visible laser (OSL 2 Thorlabs), and the power output of the backscattered radiation was found to decrease linearly with respect to the formaldehyde concentration. Our sensor exhibits excellent sensitivity, linearity, and stability as it was tested for formaldehyde concentrations ranging from 0% to 5%. The displacement tuning method exhibited the sensitivity of 0.031 μW/% with 91% linearity while the reflection scheme provided a a sensitivity of 2634.3 counts/% with 98% linearity. In addition, our sensor is non-contact, which means that the sample and probe are protected from damage and harm. These results demonstrate the potential of our fiber bundle sensor as a reliable tool for monitoring formaldehyde concentrations in food safety applications in the future.

Abstract:

We have experimentally observed a new operating state of a regular pulse train in a narrow-band optoelectronic oscillator system, where the DC bias of the Mach-Zehnder modulator is set at the maximum value of the transmission transfer function instead of the usual quadrature point. The observed quasi-steady-state pulse train is distinctly periodic, with a period of 10.5 ?s and a center frequency of 10 GHz, and resembles a mode-locked optoelectronic oscillator in its waveform. The formation of regular pulses here may arise from the dynamic balance of non-linearity and narrowband filter effects, with the transient characteristics of the pulses arising mainly from instabilities between the gain and cavity loss. Our results are of great importance for deepening the understanding of the non-linear dynamical processes in OEO systems.

Zhu Yongchang, Tong Jigang, Yang Sen, Wang Zenghui

Abstract: (3) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The effectiveness of deep learning networks in detecting small objects is limited, thereby posing challenges in addressing practical object detection tasks. In this research, we propose a small object detection model that operates at multiple scales. The model incorporates a multi-level bidirectional pyramid structure, which integrates deep and shallow networks to simultaneously preserve intricate local details and augment global features. Moreover, a dedicated multi-scale detection head is integrated into the model, specifically designed to capture crucial information pertaining to small objects. Through comprehensive experimentation, we have achieved promising results, wherein our proposed model exhibits a mean average precision (mAP) that surpasses that of the well-established YOLOv7 model by 1.1%. These findings validate the improved performance of our model in both conventional and small object detection scenarios.

Abstract:

To improve the internal quantum efficiency (IQE) and light output power of InGaN light-emitting diodes (LED), we proposed an In-composition gradient increase and decrease InGaN quantum barrier structure. Through analysis of its P-I graph, carrier concentration, and energy band diagram, the results showed that when the current was 100 mA, the In-composition gradient decrease quantum barrier (QB) structure could effectively suppress electron leakage while improving hole injection efficiency, resulting in an increase in carrier concentration in the active region and an improvement in the effective recombination rate in the quantum well (QW). As a result, the IQE and output power of the LED were effectively improved.

Abstract:

This paper is devoted to introduce a novel four-dimensional memristor-involved system and its applications in image encryption and chaotic circuit. The typical dynamical behaviors of the memristor-involved system are explored, such as chaotic phase potraits, Lyapunov exponent spectrum (LES), bifurcation diagram (BD) and complexity analysis. Then a color image encryption algorithm is designed. In this algorithm, the sequences generated by the four-dimensional memristor-involved system are used in scrambling and diffusion algorithm for three channels.

CAI Yujie

Abstract: (15) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Wind turbine blades are one of the core components that capture wind energy in a wind power generator. As the service time of wind turbines increases, the safety of the blades gradually de-creases. Therefore, a chip-type pre-stressed FBG strain sensor was designed for real-time moni-toring. Combined with simulation analysis, the structure of the sensor was optimized. Through calibration experiments, it was found that the pre-stressing process increased the measurement range of the sensor, ensured a consistent overall linearity, and avoided the possible hysteresis phenomenon during compression. The final sensitivity of the sensor was determined to be 1.970pm/με, with a linear fitting coefficient of 0.999. Finally, the sensor was used to monitor the wind turbine blades and it was found that the strain change curve of the root of a normally functioning blade is a sine curve, which provides a certain reference value for judging whether the blade is damaged in the future.

WANG Jia-hui, Wei Xian, ZHU Yan, SHEN Yue, PANG Lipeng, DUAN Shao-xiang

Abstract: (11) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In this letter, we propose an in-fiber Michelson-Fabry-Perrot (M-FP) hybrid interferometer for the simultaneous meas-urement of seawater temperature and salinity. The sensor head consists of two parallel hetero Fabry-Perrot cavities fabri-cated on the end face of the twin core fiber. A fiber fusion taper is used to split and recouple the light in the two cores. In this case, the Vernier effect can be obtained which can greatly enhance the sensitivity and solve the problem of tempera-ture cross-sensitivity. Different from the traditional demodulation method based on envelop detection, we employed fre-quency domain decomposition method (FDDM) to demodulate the sensing signal. The simulation results indicate that the proposed sensor has high sensitivity to salinity and temperature. Thanks to the merits of high sensitivity, ease of fabrica-tion and small footprint, the proposed seawater temperature and salinity sensor would have potential applications in ma-rine science, food industry and ocean ranching.

Abstract: (9) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In this work, a new configuration of an all-optical nonlinear de-multiplexer gate based on two-dimensional photonic crystals is proposed. The gate is considered in the double-ring resonator shaped structure of Silicon rods. In order to have a more functional structure, some defect rods made of nonlinear materials were positioned in the structure. For consider-ing the functionality of the structure, photonic band gap (PBG), field distribution and transmitted power spectra are in-vestigated. Plane wave expansion and finite-difference-time-domain methods are utilized for extracting the PBG and field distribution diagrams.

Li Jingwen, Yao Lixing, Shen Li, Wang Cong

Abstract: (13) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In this work, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) was applied for the detection of Pb in Tieguanyin tea and ash. Firstly, the Tieguanyin tea and ash containing Pb were prepared, and the difference of intensities of Pb I spectral lines before and after the ashing treatment was studied. It was found that the intensities of Pb I lines increased by 30 times and the standard deviation of background signal decreased by 41% after the ashing treatment. Therefore, the enrichment of Pb element by ashing treatment was used to detect Pb in tea with high sensitivity. Then, the cali-bration curve of Pb was established using spectral lines without self-absorption, and the determination coefficients (R2) for the linear fitting of calibration curve was 0.9799. Finally, it was found that the limit of detection of Pb was 233.8 ppb. Compared with the results of direct detection of Pb in tea of other works, the enrichment of Pb by ashing treatment improved the detection sensitivity of Pb by about 200 times. In addition, this method can be applied to the high sensitivity detection of other heavy metals, such as Cr, Cd, Hg, etc. in plants, Chinese herbal medicine, flour, rice, coal and other solid materials.

Abstract:

In this letter, a passively Q-switched all-fiber laser is demonstrated using a 10 cm long Bismuth-doped fiber as a saturable absorber (SA). The dual wavelength operation was obtained due to the nonlinear effect inside the fabricated BDF, which has a high germanium content. Stable Q-switched pulses were obtained at the dual synchronous wavelengths of 1530.1 nm and 1531.1 nm. When the pump power is tuned from 105.3 to 191.0 mW, the repetition rate can be varied from 82.6 to 117.6 kHz. The maximum pulse energy and average output power were 83.4 nJ and 9.8 mW, respectively while the minimum pulse width was 8.5 μs at the maximum pump power of 191.0 mW. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on a dual-wavelength Q-switched laser based on a BDF SA. Our results indicate that BDF could be a promising alternative optical modulator for pulsed fiber laser application.

Abstract: (17) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

A distributed fiber sensor was created by splicing two SMFs using the FMF technique. A BOTDA system was developed to measure the sensor's temperature and bending performance. Two-mode and four-mode step FMFs were combined to splice the few-mode segment. The results indicate that the temperature response coefficients of the few-mode segment are only slightly higher than those of the connected single-mode segment, measuring at 1.13MHz/℃ and 1.12 MHz/℃, respectively. The minimum bending radius for the sensor is 0.9cm, and the four-mode bending response curve is superior to that of the two-mode, proving that 4-SI-FMF offers better-bending sensitivity.

Xu Liang, Zhou Liye, Wang Luyang, Zhao Shiwei, Wang Tao

Abstract: (10) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In this article, aero-optic imaging deviation research is carried out for infrared-guided vehicle with cone-head side window, with a focus on the propagation characteristics of light in an aero-optic flow field. When the light entering the aero-optic flow field from the free-stream should be close to the normal, but numerous data indicate that the light is refracted away from the normal. This paper divides the aero-optic flow field into two parts and uses the gas density distribution in the aero-optic flow field to propose the hypothesis that there are two modes of refraction when light propagates through the flow field. The result show that light propagates from the optically denser medium to the optically thinner medium after passing through the shock wave and eventually leads to refraction away from the normal when the light enters the aero-optic flow field.

Analysis on influencing factors of detecting chemical oxygen demand in water by three-dimensional spectroscopy

Zhou Kun-peng

Abstract: (21) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the standard COD liquid and studies the impact of pH, nitrite nitrogen, nitrate nitrogen, heavy met-als, salinity, and other factors on fluorescence intensity and fluorescence peak position during the detection of COD in water using fluorescence spectrometry. The influence mechanisms of different environmental factors on fluorescence spectra are also analyzed. Results indicate that pH value affects the fluorescence emission wavelength (Em), resulting in a redshift from 1.5 to 7.2, and a blueshift from 7.2 to 12.3. Nitrate nitrogen can react with organic matter in water to form nitro compounds, leading to a decrease in fluorescence intensity. Salinity has a negligible effect on T1 peak but a rela-tively large effect on T2 peak. Heavy metal ion concentration has a significant impact on T2 peak, while T1 peak position shifts with an increase in heavy metal ions. This study aims to explore the factors that can impact the detection of COD in water using three-dimensional fluorescence spectrometry, providing references to improve accuracy and practicability for COD detection based on three-dimensional fluorescence spectrometry.

Polarization-dependent ultrafast optical nonlinearities of N,N-dimethylmethanamide at 400 nm

Xin Zhao, Zhiyong Xue, Qingyang Liu, Xiaoqing Yan

Abstract: (9) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Ultrafast optical nonlinearities of N,N-dimethylmethanamide (DMF) are studied by using polarized light at 400 nm. Both nonlinear refraction and stimulated Rayleigh-wing scattering (SRWS) depend on the polarization state of incident beam, while two-photon absorption changes negligibly with polarization state. The polarization dependence of SRWS originates from that of nonlinear refraction via self-focusing effect. Third-order susceptibility elements of DMF were determined, and a method to distinguish the multi-photon absorption signal from SRWS in Z-scan is provided. These results are helpful for the nonlinear optical research of the novel materials dissolved in DMF.

Abstract: (13) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) have shown promising potential for the automated screening and grading of cataracts. However, the different types of visual impairment caused by cataracts exhibit similar pheno-types, posing significant challenges for accurately assessing the severity of visual impairment. To address this issue, we propose a dense convolution combined with attention mechanism and multi-level classifier (DAMC_Net) for visual impairment grading. First, the double attention mechanism is utilized to enable the DAMC_Net to focus on lesions-related regions. Then, a hierarchical multi-level classifier is constructed to enhance the recognition ability in distinguishing the severities of visual impairment while maintaining a better screening rate for normal samples. In addition, a cost-sensitive method is applied to address the problem of higher false-negative rate caused by the im-balanced dataset. Experimental results demonstrated that the DAMC_Net outperformed ResNet50 and Dense-Net121 models, with sensitivity improvements of 6.0% and 3.4% on the category of mild visual impairment caused by cataracts (MVICC), and 2.1% and 4.3% on the category of moderate to severe visual impairment caused by cataracts (MSVICC), respectively. The comparable performance on two external test datasets was achieved, further verifying the effectiveness and generalizability of the DAMC_Net.

Abstract: (20) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Aiming at the problems of low reconstruction quality, poor robustness, and the inability to quickly and stably converge caused by the ill-posedness of electrical capacitance tomography image reconstruction, an improved algorithm based on iterative Tikhonov regularization was proposed. The algorithm constructs a new objective function by introducing the norm to carry out multi-criteria constraints, and introduces the result of the corrected Tikhonov regularization algorithm into the image reconstruction process together with the logarithmic weight factor as the estimated value. At the same time, an acceleration strategy is used, and the residual term is exponentially filtered. Perform ablation, initial value sensitivity, convergence, and noise interference experiments on the improved algorithm and compare it with other common algorithms. Experimental results show that the improved algorithm can quickly and stably converge and has good robustness and initial value insensitivity. The reconstructed image quality is high, the average correlation coefficient can reach 0.9633, and the average relative error can be reduced to 0.0694.

Kang Yang

Abstract: (527) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

An all-fiber temperature and curvature sensor based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) was proposed. The MZI was a sandwich structure which is composed by ring-core fiber (RCF), no-core fiber (NCF) and single-mode fiber (SMF). The temperature and curvature can be demodulated by the wavelength shift and the intensity variation of the dips respectively in the transmission spectrum. The measurement results show that the sensitivity of curvature is -7.88 nm/m-1 in the range from 3.0 m-1 to 4.2 m-1 and temperature is 53.5 pm/oC in the range from 60 oC to 200 oC. In addition, the cascaded FBG in the proposed structure, also sensitive to temperature, was used to monitor the fluctuation of temperature. The compact structure, the real-time temperature and the high curvature sensitivity make the sensor has the potential in the field of construction health monitoring and mining safety production.

Du Qiuping, Zhang Xia, Guo Yao, Yang Zhenshan, Zhang Xiaoguang

Abstract: (42) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

We propose a density-matrix-formalism based scheme to study polarization mode dispersion (PMD) monitoring and compensation in optical fiber communication systems. Compared to traditional monitoring and compensation schemes based on the PMD vector in the Stokes space, the scheme we proposed requires no auxiliary matrices and can be handily extended to any higher-dimensional modal spaces, which is advantageous in mode-division multi-plexing (MDM) systems. A 28GBaud polarization division multiplexing quadrature phase-shift keying (PDM-QPSK) coherent simulation system is built to demonstrate that our scheme can implement the monitoring and compen-sation of 170 ps large differential-group-delay (DGD) that far exceeds the typical DGDs in practical optical com-munication systems. The results verify the effectiveness of the density-matrix-formalism based scheme in PMD monitoring and compensation, thus pave the way for further applications of the scheme in more general MDM optical communication systems.

Abstract: (10) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

A large mode area multi-core orbital angular momentum (OAM) transmission fiber is designed and optimized by neural network and optimization algorithms. The neural network model has been established first to predict the optical properties of multi-core OAM transmission fibers with high accuracy and speed, including mode area, nonlinear coefficient, purity, dispersion, and effective index difference. Then the trained neural network model is combined with different particle swarm optimization algorithms for automatic iterative optimization of multi-core structures respectively. Due to the struc-tural advantages of multi-core fiber and the automatic optimization process, we designed a number of multi-core struc-tures with high OAM mode purity (>95%) and ultra-large mode area (>3000μm2), which is larger by more than an order of magnitude compared to the conventional ring-core OAM transmission fibers.

Abstract: (17) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

This letter proposes a novel high dynamic range (HDR) pixel using lateral overflow integration capacitor (LOFIC) and adaptive feedback structure. Through detailed analysis of the voltage feedback mechanism, the conversion gain (CG), full well capacity (FWC) and DR performances of the feedback LOFIC pixel are analytically expressed. The verification results reveal that the equivalent FWC of the feedback LOFIC pixel is 1.89 times of conventional LOFIC pixel, and the DR extension is 5.5 dB. Based on 110 nm CMOS process, a 5.0 μm pixel layout is presented, using 13.3 fF capacitance to achieve 83 ke- FWC and 102.8 dB DR, which are 44 ke- and 97.3 dB of conventional LOFIC pixel under the same design conditions. This also demonstrates that the feedback LOFIC pixel can reduce the de-pendence of extended DR on capacitor area, and can be used as a reference for HDR pixels design.

Double Fano resonances in disk-nonconcentric ring plasmonic nanostructures

Zhang Xingfang

Abstract: (14) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

The plasmonic properties of gold nanostructures composed of a disk outside a nonconcentric ring are numerically studied by the finite difference time domain method. Simulated results show that two Fano resonances are formed as a result of the coupling of the octupolar and quadrupolar modes of the ring with the dipolar mode of the disk. The reduction in structural symmetry causes a red shift of the Fano resonances and distinct changes in spectral lineshape by offsetting the center of the inner surface of the ring to different directions. The effects of several geometric parameters on the characteristics of Fano resonances are also discussed. In addition, the refractive index sensitivities for the two Fano resonances can be up to 581 nm/RIU and 780 nm/RIU with the corresponding figure of merits as large as 12.7 and 10.2, respectively. Such properties render the structures useful for potential applications in multiwavelength sensors.

Xing Cheng

Abstract: (13) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

This study investigates the fabrication process of zinc-diffused ridge waveguides in periodically poled magnesi-um-doped lithium niobate (PPMgO:LN). A controlled variable method is used to study the effects of diffusion tem-perature, diffusion time, ZnO film thickness, and barrier layer thickness on the surface domain depolarization and waveguide quality of PPMgO:LN. A special barrier layer is proposed that can automatically lift off from the sample surface, which increases the depth of zinc doping and reduces the surface loss of the waveguide. By optimizing the process parameters, we fabricate zinc-diffused PPMgO:LN ridge waveguides with a length of 22.80 mm and a period of 18.0 μm. The above waveguides generate a second harmonic (SHG) at 775 nm with an output power of 90.20 mW by a pump power of 741 mW at 1550 nm. The corresponding conversion efficiency is 3.160%/W∙cm2, and the wave-guide loss is approximately 0.81 dB/cm. These results demonstrate that high-efficiency devices can be obtained through the fabrication process described in this paper.

Ma Xiurong, Ma Xiaohang, Shan Yunlong

Abstract: (37) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

With the continuous development of optical communication and the increase in data transmission volume, optical transmission networks (OTN) have become the focus of research on next-generation transmission networks. In the process of data transmission, errors caused by noise often occur, resulting in an increase in the bit error rate and a decrease in the performance of the optical communication system. Therefore, we use forward error correction technology (FEC) in OTN for error control to improve the transmission efficiency of signals in OTN and reduce the bit error rate.Standard FEC technology uses RS(255,239) codes. On this basis, since the performance of LDPC codes is close to the Shannon limit, we propose a method of cascading RS codes and LDPC codes.Applying this improved FEC technology to OTN, the simulation results show that the improved FEC technology has a reduced bit error rate compared with the standard FEC technology. When the bit error rate is the minus 3th power of 10, the performance is improved by about 1.7 dB.

Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of poor accuracy consistency of large sections’ docking assembly, an automatic docking method using multiple laser trackers to measure the position and posture of the docking sections in real time was proposed. In the solution of the pose of the docking section, real-time pose measurement of the docking section was realized by establishing a global coordinate system and a coordinate fusion method of three or more laser trackers.

Abstract: (15) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Aiming at the trouble of low detection accuracy and the problem of large model size, this paper proposes a lightweight flame-and-smoke detection model depending on global awareness of images, named GAL-YOLOv5. The proposed method replaces the CBS module of original YOLOv5 in the backbone with DBS, and the C3 module with GC3, and thus constructs a lightweight backbone network DGNet. Besides, Involution (InvC3) module is proposed to enhance the global modeling ability and compress the model size, and a module using adaptive receptive fields, named FConv, is proposed to enhance the model’s perception capacity for foreground complex flame-and-smoke information in feature maps. Experimental results show that GAL-YOLOv5 increases mAP@0.5 to 70.8%, mAP@0.5:0.95 to 39.7%, reduces the number of parameters to 3.57M and the amount of calculation to 7.4GFLOPs under the premise of ensuring the detection speed. It has been verified that the model can achieve high-precision real-time detection of flame and smoke.

Zhao Jiaqing, Zhang Lei, Ding Xiang, Xu Zhongchao, Fan Shiwei, Liu Rongke

Abstract: (9) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

For space-based optical detection systems, there is usually a difference between actual on-orbit operational perfor-mance and designed requirements based on fixed scenarios. To assess the availability of space-based optical detection systems in different backgrounds, the radiation characteristics of aerial targets have been simulated using body radia-tion and atmospheric transmission models. The background radiation characteristics were also statistically analyzed. Then, for the parameters of the fixed space-based optical detection system, the signal-to-clutter and availability were evaluated under different conditions. A linear relationship between the radiation intensity and the flight height of the target was obtained. For a space-based optical detection system, the analytical availability model was constructed. Fi-nally, multiple groups of data under different simulation conditions were used to validate the universality and reliabil-ity of the model. This availability model could significantly reduce the time required to predict the availability of the space-based optical detection system. The model was also adopted to analyze the influence of flight height, mean and variance, and background clutter on the space-based optical detection availability.

Suyu Li, Yu Miao, Zhang He, Cai Xiaoming, Jin Mingxing, Wu Jiabin

Abstract: (11) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Transmission of intense femtosecond laser pulses in air is accompanied by energy depletion. By measuring the transmitted spectra of the focused femtosecond pulses in air, we study the influence of air pressure and initial pulse energy on the spectra around the central wavelength (800 nm) after the interaction of the focused femtosecond laser with air. On this basis, the energy transmittance of the central wavelength of the femtosecond pulses is obtained. It is found that as the air pressure is lower than 1 kPa, the transmitted spectra of focused femtosecond pulses change with the pressure, but there is almost no energy depletion; while as the air pressure is higher than 1 kPa, femtosecond filamentation occurs and the energy transmittance of the central wavelength of the femtosecond pulses decreases with the increase of air pressure and pulse energy. According to the different regimes (i.e., nonfilamentation, and filamentation regimes), we discuss the effect of energy conversion and transfer on the energy transmittance. This work can help to understand the energy depletion during the transmission of ultrashort intense laser pulses in air and provide a guidance for the practical applications of femtosecond filamentation.

Abstract: (0) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Specular highlight usually causes serious information degradation, which leads to the failure of many computer vision algorithms. We have proposed a novel bifurcated convolution neural network (Bifurcated-CNN) to tackle the problem of high reflectivity image information degradation. 1) The specular highlight features are extracted and removed in two stages from coarse to fine, to ensure the generation of diffuse images have no visual artifacts and information distortions. 2) A bifurcated feature selection strategy (BFSS) is designed to filter out the specular highlight features and enhance the detection capability of our network. The experiments on two types of challenging datasets demonstrate that our method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches for specular highlight detection and removal. The effectiveness of the proposed BFSS and Bifurcated-CNN are also verified.

Exploring the growth mechanism of CuSbSe2 thin film prepared by electrodeposition

Bi Jinlian

Abstract: (12) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Copper antimony selenium (CuSbSe2), has advantages of adjustable band gaps from 1.09 to 1.2 eV, high light absorption coefficient (>105 cm-1), and low grain generation temperature (300~400 ℃), which is suitable for the preparation of solar cells. However, the stable range of CuSbSe2 (CASe) phase is narrow, which is inevitable to form Sb2Se3 and Cu3SbSe4 second phase during the preparation process. In this work, selenization annealing of Sb/Cu metal layer to prepare CASe thin films with pulse electrodeposition process was studied, and the growth mechanism of CASe film was analyzed. Cu and Sb reacted with Se to form Cu2Se and Sb2Se3, respectively. Then Cu2Se and Sb2Se3 further reacted to generate CASe. Since the formation temperature of Cu3SbSe4 was lower than that of CASe, the preferential formation of Cu3SbSe4 led to layer separation. When the annealing temperature was too high, CASe decomposed to form Cu3SbSe3 and Sb2Se3. Additionally, by increasing the heating rate, the separation of CASe thin films was effectively improved, and the CASe thin films with relatively high crystallinity were obtained at 360 ℃ with heating rate of 30 ℃/min and selenization time of 20 min.

Abstract: (14) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

To address the accuracy challenge in obstacle detection for autonomous driving, we propose an improved YOLOX-S ob-stacle detection model that can detect multiple targets, including people, cars, bicycles, motorcycles, and buses. This paper aims to propose a model based on YOLOX-S that surpasses the baseline model and is capable of real-time detection:(1) We suggest that the existing YOLOX-S backbone be replaced with the Swin Transformer-Tiny backbone. This change aims to improve the local feature extraction capability, leading to more accurate detection of obstacles under real-world vehicle conditions. (2)We decreased the number of channels between the Swin Transformer and PA-FPN from [96, 192, 384, 768] to [192, 384, 768]. This reduces the computational cost and makes the Swin Transformer-Tiny more compati-ble with the PA-FPN. Conclusively, compared to YOLOX-S, our proposed method, YOLOX-S based on swin trans-former-tiny (ST-YOLOX-S), has a 6.1% improvement in accuracy on the COCO dataset. Among the five types of obsta-cles that will appear in simulated actual vehicle conditions, our ST-YOLOX-S has shown excellent improvement in accu-racy compared to YOLOX-S. Furthermore, the detection accuracy is significantly improved compared to YOLOv3, showing the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

Abstract:

This research investigated the potentials of the single walled boron-nitride nanotube doped with transition metal dichalcogenides as photocatalyst in hydrogen fuel production via overall water splitting technique. Studies of the electronic and optical absorption spectra analysis were done using the popular density functional theory and the time-dependent density functional theory.

Studies of the optical absorption potential revealed that TiO2-doped SWBNNT absorbs and emits heat energy simultaneously, its absorption efficiencies are observed to be higher than other photocatalysts reported. Based on this behaviors and other results obtained, TiO2-doped SWBNNT can serve excellently as the photocatalyst for hydrogen evolution via water splitting technique.

A method for online detection and lifespan evaluation of light sources

Yu Kanghua, Chen Huacai

Abstract: (15) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

LED light source degradation detection and lifetime evaluation usually use the data of light flux change as a basis, but the process of light flux measurement is complicated and tedious, requiring the use of an integrating sphere, and cannot be performed online. This is unfriendly to the detection of machine vision light sources used in production lines. To address this problem, this paper proposes and designs a method for online detection and lifetime evaluation of light sources by using a mini spectrometer to detect the intensity of light sources online, and evaluates the light degradation and lifetime of light sources based on the changes in light intensity during use. This determines whether the light source needs to be adjusted or replaced, avoiding misjudgment or missed judgment in production detection due to light source degradation. The experiment was conducted on LED under high-temperature accelerated aging. The light intensity data after aging was fitted by an acceleration and life evaluation model, and the fitting result showed that the error of life evaluation by this method was 8.37%. As a comparison, this paper also detects the changes in light flux of light sources during the experiment, and the average error between the decay of light intensity and the decay of light flux was only 0.102%. It has been validated that the error in evaluating the lifetime of light sources using this method is 10.71%, and the accuracy of the evaluation is about 90%. The results show that the method is accurate, reliable, and can be used as a basis for online detection and evaluation of LED light source degradation.

Abstract: (17) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In this paper, an optical fiber sensor composed of a dislocation Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI) cascade with a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed, and it used to monitor the electrochemical corrosion of metals in experiments. The dislocation interferometer is composed of two segments of single-mode fiber and one segment of dislocation single-mode fiber. The contact surface is increased between the fiber and the environment which helps to improve the interference sensitivity.

In the experiment, the sensitivity of the interferometer reaches more than 10000 nm/RIU, and the monitoring of metal electrochemical corrosion is also realized in 3.5% NaCl solution. The proposed measurement scheme has the advantages of small structure, low cost and high sensitivity. It has good prospects in chemical reaction monitoring.

Abstract:

Compared with the traditional feature-based image stitching algorithm, the free-view image stitching algorithm based on deep learning has the advantages of fast stitching speed and good effect. However, these algorithms still cannot achieve real-time splicing speed. For the image reconstruction stage, we redesign a new fast image reconstruction network. This network is designed based on ShuffleNet, and the new network structure and loss function will reduce the time required for image reconstruction. In addition, this network can also reduce the performance loss after the network is lightweight. It is proved by experiments that the fast image reconstruction network can realize real-time high-resolution image reconstruction.

Abstract: (10) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

A miniaturized near infrared single photon detector is demonstrated by integrating a thermoelectric cooler, a thermistor, and a planar type InGaAs/InP separate absorption, grading, charge and multiplication structure single photon avalanche diode into a butterfly case. The performance of the device at different temperatures is tested. It can achieve 20.3% single photon detection efficiency and 1.38 kHz dark count rate when the chip is cooled to 223 K. The test results show that even when the chip temperature is kept constant, the dark count rate of the device still increases with the increase of the ambient temperature, which is inconsistent with the carrier generation mechanism of semiconductor materials. The mechanism is researched and it is found that the thermal radiation of the high temperature case is the main source of dark count.

Memory-Boosting RNN with Dynamic Graph for Event-based Action Recognition

Chen Guanzhou, Liu Sheng, Xu Jingting

Abstract: (0) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Owing to its characteristic of high dynamic, event camera is well suited for capturing subtle temporal changes in action recognition applications. However, existing action recognition methods based on event cameras have not fully exploited the advantages of event cameras, such as compressing event streams into frames for subsequent calculation, which greatly sacrifices the time information of event streams. Meanwhile, the conventional PointCloud-based methods suffer from large computational complexity while processing event data, which make it difficult to handle long-term actions. To tackle the above problems, we propose a Recurrent Neural Network with Memory-Boosting and Dynamic Graph(DG-MBRNN). The proposed DG-MBRNN splits the event stream into sequential graph data for preserving structural information, then uses the RNN with boosting spatiotemporal memory to handle long-term sequences of actions. In addition, the proposed method introduces a dynamic reorganization mechanism for the graph based on the distances of features, which can effectively increase the ability to extract local features. In addition, in order to cope with the situation that the existing data sets have too simple actions and too limited categories, we propose a new Event-based dataset containing 36 complex actions. This dataset will greatly promote the development of Event-based action recognition research. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed method in completing the Event-based action recognition task.

Abstract:

A numerical simulation model of plenoptic sensor aberration wavefront detection is established to simulate and analyze the detection performance of plenoptic sensor aberration wavefront for different turbulence intensities. The results show that the plenoptic sensor can achieve better distortion wavefront detection, and its wavefront detection accuracy improves with turbulence intensity. The unique optical structure design of the plenoptic sensor makes it more suitable for aberration wavefront detection in strong turbulent conditions. The wavefront detection performance of the plenoptic sensor is not only related to its wavefront reconstruction algorithm but also closely related to its structural parameter settings. The influence of structural parameters on the wavefront detection accuracy of plenoptic sensors under different turbulence intensities is simulated and analyzed. The variation law of wavefront detection accuracy and structural parameters under different turbulence intensities is summarized to provide a reference for the structural design and parameter optimization of plenoptic sensors.

Abstract: (18) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Convolutional neural networks require a lot of multiplication and addition operations completed by traditional electrical multipliers, leading to high power consumption and limited speed. Here, a silicon waveguide-based wavelength division multiplexing architecture for convolution neural network is optimized with high energy efficiency Fano resonator. Coupling of T-waveguide and Micro-ring resonator generate Fano resonance with small half-width, which can significantly reduce the modulator power consumption. National Grid's insulator dataset is used to test Fano resonance modulator-based convolutional neural networks. The results show that accuracy for insulator defect recognition reaches 99.27% with much lower power consumption. Obviously, Our opti-mized photonic integration architecture for convolutional neural networks has broad potential for the artificial intelligence hardware platform.

Abstract: (10) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

This study reports the performance of an InAs/GaSb type-II superlattices (T2SLs) detector with nBn structure for mid-wavelength infrared detection. An electronic band structure of M structure is calculated using 8-band k?p method, and the nBn structure is designed with the M-barrier. Mesa isolation of the nBn structure and the removal of Al2O3 pas-sivation layer on the mesa are prepared by wet etch, which is simple in manufacturing process. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscope (AFM) characterization indicate that the detector material has good crystal quality and sur-face morphology. Spectral response measurements at different biases and temperatures are performed. The saturation bias is 300 mV, and the device is promising to work at a temperature of 140 K. Energy gap of T2SL versus temperatures are fitted by the Varshni curve, and zero temperature bandgap Eg(0), empirical coefficients α and β are extracted. A dark cur-rent density of 3.2?10-5 A?cm2 and differential resistance area (RA) product of 1.0 ? 104 Ω?cm2 are measured for the nBn detector at 77 K. The dominant mechanism of dark current at different temperature ranges is analyzed by calculating the activation energy according to the Arrhenius plot. The device with a 50% cutoff wavelength of 4.68 ?m exhibits a responsivity of 0.6 A/W without antireflection coating, a topside illuminated quantum efficiency of 20%, and a detectivity of 9.17?1011 cm?Hz1/2/W at 77 K and 0.3 V. Excellent performance indicates that the device is a promising candidate for large area focal plane arrays.

Abstract:

A theoretical model concerning active Q-switching of an Fe:ZnSe laser pumped by a continuous-wave (CW) 2.8 μm fiber laser is developed.

Abstract: (14) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

In this Letter, we proposed an ultra-high sensitivity triple-core fiber refractive index (RI) sensor with a modified Vernier effect for marine RI measurement and demonstrated it by numerical simulation. This sensor composes a pair of parallel-ized spatial mode Mach-Zehnder interferometers, both of which are involved in sensing, but possess different interfering modes. By designing a Mach-Zehnder Interferometer refractive index fiber optic sensor based on Vernier effect in air, it is demonstrated that in the low refractive index such as air environment, only the modes involved in sensing interference are affected by the environment to generate Vernier effect. In the high refractive index marine environment, both sensing interferometer and reference interferometer need to be affected by the ambient refractive index to generate Vernier effect. The simulation results indicate that the proposed novel sensing structure can amplify its sensitivity from -15428 nm/RIU to -24857 nm/RIU in the marine environment.

Predicting likely-to-churn users employing surveys is a challenging task. Individuals with different personalities may make different choices in the same situation, so we introduced social media avatars that reflect the user's psycho-logical state when analyzing their churn tendency. In this paper, we propose a multimodal framework that jointly learns image and text features to establish correlations among users with low NPS scores and those likely to churn. We conducted experiments on actual data, and the results show that our proposed method can identify NPS-degraded users in advance, promoting the commercial development of the operator.

Abstract: (103) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Aiming at the approximate measurement of magnetic rotation angle in optical current sensor based on light intensity de-tection mode, this paper proposes a current measurement method based on triangular constant transformation to recon-struct magnetic rotation angle, so as to avoid the large current measurement error caused by the approximate measurement of the magnetic rotation angle. By extracting the DC component and the AC component of the light intensity signal de-tected by the photoelectric detector, the sine signal containing the magnetic rotation angle is directly obtained by dividing the two components, and then the triangular identity transformation method is used to linearly demodulate the magnetic rotation angle and reconstruct the current waveform. The experimental results show that the relative error of current measurement does not exceed 1.40% in the current range of 0.05A ~ 0.50A, which is less than the approximate linear measurement method, and the magnetic rotation angle and the current have a good linear relationship.

SFR-Net: Sample-aware and feature refinement network for cross-domain micro-expression recognition

LIU Jing, JI Xinyu, WANG Mengmeng

Abstract: (21) HTML (0) PDF (0.00 ByteKB) (0)

Abstract:

Over the past several decades, micro-expression recognition (MER) has become a growing concern for scientific community. As the filming conditions vary from database to database, previous single-domain MER methods generally exhibit severe performance drop when applied to another database. To deal with this pressing problem, in this paper, a sample-aware and feature refinement network (SFR-Net) is proposed, which combines domain adap-tation with deep metric learning to extract intrinsic features of micro-expressions for accurate recognition. With the help of decoders, siamese networks increasingly refine shared features relevant to emotions while exclusive features irrelevant to emotions are gradually obtained by private networks. In order to achieve promising performance, we further design sample-aware loss to constrain the feature distribution in the high-dimensional feature space. Ex-perimental results show the proposed algorithm can effectively mitigate the diversity among different mi-cro-expression databases, and achieve better generalization performance compared with state-of-the-art methods.

Abstract:

Top-emitting organic light-emitting diodes (TEOLED) have attracted extensive attention for the high-brightness and flat-panel display. However, the efficiency roll-off at high-brightness is the issue that need to be resolved for further practical applications using TEOLED devices. Herein, a serials of high-efficiency tandem TEOLED introducing a fullerene/zinc-phthalocyanine organic semiconductor heterojunction as charge generation layer are demonstrated. With unique photovoltaic property, the charge generation layer can absorb part of the photons emitted by the emission layer (Ir(ppy)3) and generate electrons and holes. By optimizing the charge generation layer thickness, the as-fabricated TEOLED device shows a high luminance of 156000 cd/cm2 and pure green electroluminescence with a maximum current efficiency of 86 cd/A. Importantly, relying on the energy between the photovoltaic effect and the microcavity effect, only 1.5% of the efficiency roll-off is obtained at 1000-10000 cd/cm2. We believe the introduction of fullerene/zinc-phthalocyanine as charge generating layer here provide a very promising alternative way for developing high-efficiency tandem TEOLED devices.

Abstract:

In this paper, a novel dual-band Photonic Band Gap (PBG) structure was proposed and applied to a dual-band microstrip antenna. The antenna resonates at 1.267 THz and 1.502 THz, exhibiting reflection coefficients of -58.177, and -49.462 dB, and gains of 3.173, and 5.232 dBi, respectively. Compared with the microstrip antenna based on the homogeneous silicon substrate, the designed dual-band antenna based on the novel PBG structure shows improved impedance matching, radiation efficiency, and gain. The paper simulated and analyzed the impacts of different filling dielectric materials and the variations of dimensions, position, period, and corrugation depths of the du-al-band PBG structure on the resonances of the antenna. It is expected that the proposed novel dual-band PBG structure has great application potential，Such cancer diagnosis is done by utilizing the radiation characteristics of the antenna.

Abstract:

The manuscript discusses the lattice vibrations, optical, and mechanical characteristics of the zinc-blende AlP compound. Investigations have been done into the effect of temperature on refractive index, optical dielectric constant, static dielectric constant, longitudinal and transversal sound velocities, reflectivity, susceptibility, phonon frequencies, micro-hardness, ionicity, and transverse effective charge. The calculations in this article were carried out using the pseudo-potential method (EPM). Comparative analysis with the existing experiment and other theoretical calculations reveals a satisfactory level of agreement. The optoelectronic applications in the high pressure region could make use of the predicted properties.
