2010, 31(4): 517-520.
Abstract:
In the basic Kepler telescope system, two pieces of coated glass are placed into the optical path at a 45angle with optical axis. One can reflect infrared light at the wavelength of 1550nm, while it transmits the visible and controlling infrared light with central wavelength at 1310nm; the other can reflect the controlling infrared light with central wavelength at 1310nm, while it transmits the visible light. By incorporating the controlling light and signal light paths, the system becomes simple and practical. Cost is reduced. The impact of the plate glass for visible light path is analyzed, and the path deviation falls within allowed error range by changing the thickness of the plate glass. Power loss of the signal light passing through some optical components is measured,the loss ratios for the telescope tube and plate glass measured at laboratory are 1.31% and 2.90% respectively. Transmission coefficient of signal light is deter-mined. Three optical path coaxial telescope system is successfully used in long-distance infrared control audio frequency monitor after many tests.

Aberration analysis for annular pupils by different Zernike polynomials
SHAO Jing, MA Dong-mei, NIE Zhen-wei
2010, 31(4): 544-548.
Abstract:
Due to the orthogonality of every Zernike annular polynomial in the annular field, the error in Seidel coefficients solved by wave front fitting with circular polynomial for annular pupils could be obtained. To accurately compare Seidel coefficients solved by circular polynomial with Zernike annular polynomial, an experiment model was built according to the theory of wave front aberration. The Seidel coefficients solved by wave front fitting for large obscuration pupils with Zernike annular polynomial and Zernike circular polynomial were compared. The result showed that the main relative errors remained in defocus, sphere and coma aberrations, when the Seidel coefficients were solved by Zernike circular polynomials. The Seidel coefficients solved by the 9 circular polynomial terms are more close to the results solved by the annular polynomial rather than the 36 circular polynomial terms. However, when the number of circular polynomial terms decreases to fewer than 9, the error in Seidel coefficients obtained by circular polynomial will increase.

2010, 31(4): 557-561.
Abstract:
One design method of aspherical intraocular lens (AIOL) was presented. Based on the corneal model of Holladay, the spherical aberration of the cornea was set as the SA value of the AIOL. The optical performances of aspherical and spherical IOL were analyzed comparatively when the IOL moved forward and the pupil diameter changed. As a result, the MTF, contrast sensitivity and off focus MTF of the eye implanted with aspherical IOL designed by this method were better than those of spherical IOL when the implanted position and the pupil diameter were the same. The imaging quality of the eye decreased with the pupil diameter as the IOL moved forward, the MTF of the eyes decreased with the pupil diameter. However, the aspherical IOL still presented more excellent optical performance than traditional spherical IOL.

U-V coverage, PSF and MTF of synthetic-aperture system were analyzed with different fill factors. They were discussed on the basis of Y-4 system. This study also generated image simulation of Y-4 system with the help of Zemax and Matlab.software, and restored the images with noise making use of Wiener filter and the modified Wiener filter.

Abstract:
In order to detect moving object in image scene in time, this paper presents a moving object detection method based on mixture Gaussian model. We regard the image pixel value as the synthesized process of the foreground Gauss distribution and the background Gauss distribution, and realize the background estimation and adaptive background update. Through performing multiple object segmentation after background subtraction, we can successfully detect multiple moving objects. The experiments show that when the background of image sequence is changing, the mixture Gaussian model based algorithm can estimate changed background accurately, and through subtraction between scene image and background image, the interested moving object can be detected. The experimental results for real image sequences demonstrate this moving object detection algorithm based on mixture Gaussian model is efficient.

2010, 31(4): 579-583.
Abstract:
We present our research about the imaging quality of underwater imaging systems based on the angle configuration of the light source. Supposing the distance between the light source and the target is equal to that between the camera and the target, we developed better transfer functions of the contrast degree and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). By defining that the distance from camera to the target is invariable, we described the dependence of the contrast and SNR on the angle configuration of the light source, we also gave some curves of this relationship. We analyzed the impact on the imaging quality caused by the hypothesis and the approximate. Experimental results agree with our analysis.

Abstract:
According to the Kurtzs theory and the relation between the transmittance of the polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) and the applied voltage, for the signal overflow during the testing process,we proposed using PDLC film to modulate the incident fundamental light intensity to control the signal of the second harmonic generation (SHG). The powder samples of potassium iodate, cesium vanadate and rubidium vanadate were tested and analyzed by this method respectively. It can be derived that KIO3 are phase-matchable, CsV2O5 and Rb3V5O14 are not phase-matchable. The signals of CsV2O5 and Rb3V5O14 is 8.13, 1.78 times that of potassium dideuterium phosphate(DKDP). The results show that this method is accurate, and easy to operate. More importantly, when applied to testing SHG coefficient quantitatively, this method can effectively improve measurement accuracy. It demonstrated that this method is feasible to test the non-linear characteristics of crystals.

2010, 31(4): 611-616.
Abstract:
To clarify the discussion on ray optics and wave optics on the delay of mode field propagation process in the multimode fiber theoretically, the relationship between phase velocity Vp and group velocity Vg is derived, Vp*Vg=(c/n1)2, according to the relationship between the mode characteristic roots U and the optic fiber normalized frequency R, as well as the weak waveguide approximation theory. Based on the results, it is concluded that phase velocity is slow and group velocity is fast at low-order mode, phase velocity is fast and group velocity is slow at high speed mode. Ray optics and wave optics are used for bandwidth estimation to a given optical fiber, and the consistency of the results of two theoretical calculations confirms the correctness of these relations.
Analysis of coupled precision in characteristic calculation for long period fiber gratings with a rectangular index modulation
WANG Guo-dong, AI Yong-le
2010, 31(4): 617-619.
Abstract:
Based on the coupled-mode theory, the influences on coupled precision in characteristic calculation for different modes in long period fiber grating are analyzed. Calculated results show that for the low order cladding mode, the longitudinal coupling constants between the odd order cladding mode and the first core mode are smaller than that between even order cladding mode and the first core mode. So we can ignore the influence of odd order cladding mode in calculation without reducing the calculation precision. At the same time, we can select the suitable orders of sinusoidal index modulation to reduce the work of calculation according to the arrangement of wavelength and calculation precision.

Abstract:
The polarization error of optical system limits the accuracy of fiber-optic gyro. The models of optical devices and fused points in fiber-optic gyro are described using coherent matrix and Jones matrix. The physical model of the optical system in interferometric fiber-optic gyro is established. Compared with the former reports, the optical system described in this model is more engineering oriented. A new method is presented to analyze the polarization error caused by optical devices, fused points and the losses through the optical path. This method could analyze the influence of optical system flaws on bias and scale factor effectively, which can be used to evaluate the property of the optical system in interferometric fiber-optic gyro.

ZHOU Chun-xin, HUANG Ping, ZENG Qing-ke, QIN Zi-xiong
2010, 31(4): 632-635.
Abstract:
Based on the three-layer fiber model, we found that the relation between the structural parameters and the transmission spectra of LPFG is regular variation, and the variation rules of the transmission spectra were presented. This paper only considers the couple between lowest-order cladding modes and the fundamental core mode. When radii and refractive index of fiber core and cladding increase, the resonance wavelengths shift towards shorter wavelength; When grating period increase, the resonance wavelengths shift towards longer wavelength; When grating length increase, the resonance wavelengths have no shift, but its depth decreases. Comprehensive analysis shows that the shift in the resonance wavelengths is clear, but the change of depth doesnt have distinct rules.

LIU Quan-xi, ZHONG Ming
2010, 31(4): 636-640.
Abstract:
For analyzing the thermal effect in thin disk laser, a numerical model of the thin disk laser medium end-pumped by LD was set up. Considering the influence of the temperature correlation of the thermodynamic parameters of the material and the heat transfer coefficient between air and medium, based on the thermal conduction equations and the thermal-elastic equations, the transient distributions of temperature and thermal stress in the medium were calculated by a finite element analysis method. The influence disciplinarian of the pump power and heat transfer coefficient and time on transient distributions of temperature and thermal stress in the medium were analyzed. Simulation results indicate that thermal extendable damage appears on the edge of beam of the anterior surface. The change of the rise time and renew time of the temperature and stress is not obvious as the pumping power increase. With the increase of the heat transfer coefficient, the temperature and stress and rise time and renew time decrease, but this rate of the change decreases to zero slowly. The theoretical results agree with interrelated experiment results and it provides a theoretical reference for the design of solid laser pumped by LD and experimental analysis.

2010, 31(4): 641-647.
Abstract:
Pound-Drever-Hall(PDH) stabilization involves both optics and electrics parts, and it is difficult to simulate PDH method synthetically. This article is aimed at solving this problem. Firstly, the electrical part of PDH was designed. Then, the model of electric circuit was used to form the optical device after-analyzing the operation principle.

The system outputs a small zero-drift signal while the frequency shift is zero. At the frequency shift of 5MHz, 10MHz and 15MHz, the system has satisfactory outputs respectively. Some discussion on synthetic simulation result and proposals for improvement are given.

LI Xia, KANG Yu-si
2010, 31(4): 648-651.
Abstract:
In laser display system, speckle noise produced by laser coherence has a serious effect on image. The condition for a diffuser to produce the maximum speckle reduction with the minimum number of distinct phase patterns is derived. A binary realization of this optimum diffuser is obtained by mapping the rows or columns of a Hadamard matrix to the phase patterns. The method is experimentally verified by an example of green light. After using the diffuser,speckle contrast is reduced from 8.4% to 2.7%.

2010, 31(4): 652-656.
Abstract:
Based on the theory of the second intensity moment, the results of the far-field divergence angle, near-field divergence angle, waist width and beam propagation factor of non-paraxial Lorentz beam are derived, and the relationship of them versus the corresponding waist width and the wavelength is studied. The result indicates that, compared with the non-paraxial Gaussian beam, under the condition of satisfying physical mechanism of diode laser, the non-paraxial Lorentz beam is more appropriate with the actual situations of diode laser beam. Accordingly, the non-paraxial Lorentz beam is a more appropriate model to describe laser sources with small size and high divergence such as diode laser.

Dwell time algorithm based on optimization theory for magnetorheological finishing
ZHANG Yun-fei, WANG Yang, WANG Ya-jun, HE Jian-guo, JI Fang
2010, 31(4): 657-662.
Abstract:
Magnetorheological finishing (MRF) is a deterministic polishing technique capable of rapidly converging to the required surface figure. This process can deterministically control the amount of removed material by varying the time to dwell at each particular position on the workpiece surface. The dwell time algorithm is one of the most important key techniques of the MRF. A dwell time algorithm based on matrix equation and optimization theory was presented in this paper. The previous mathematical model of the dwell time was transferred to a matrix equation containing initial surface error and removal function. The required dwell time was just the solution to the large, sparse matrix equation. A new mathematical model of the dwell time based on the optimization theory was established, which aims to minimize the 2-norm or -norm of the residual error. The solution meets almost all the requirements of precise computer numerical control (CNC) without any need for extra data processing, because this optimization model has taken some polishing condition as the constraints. Practical approaches to find a minimal least-squares solution and a minimal maximum solution are also discussed in the paper. Simulations have shown that the proposed algorithm is numerically robust and reliable. With this algorithm an experiment has been performed on the MRF machine developed by ourselves. After 4.7 minutespolishing, the figure error of a flat workpiece with a 50mm diameter is improved by PV from 0.191 to 0.087 and RMS 0.041 to 0.010. This algorithm can be constructed to polish workpieces of all shapes including flats, spheres, aspheres and prisms.

LIU Er-ming, YAO Jia, MIAO Feng
2010, 31(4): 663-665.
Abstract:
Taking the advantages of the localized and non-radiative properties of surface plasmon, we designed a novel filter by electromagnetic simulation software EastFDTD. This new kind of filter is formed by two metal ring resonators,the inner diameters of the two metal ring resonators are 175nm and 145nm respectively, and the wavelengths of surface plasmon meeting the resonance are different. Such characteristic of metal ring resonator results in outputting signals of 1.85m and 1.58m at different ports. The crosstalk between adjacent ports of this filter can reach -19dB with the output port width of 50nm. The result shows that this novel filter has more advantages than traditional filters in filtering performance, size and integration.

The influence of polarization on Quasi-Phase-Matched linear electro-optic effect
ZHENG Guo-liang, OUYANG Zheng-biao, XU Shi-xiang
2010, 31(4): 666-671.
Abstract:
Quasi-Phase-Matched (QPM) linear electro-optic effect is investigated when the incident light is of different polarization. The study shows the electro-optic coupling is influenced by the polarization remarkably. For the case that the QPM condition is satisfied, when the input light is linearly polarized, the energies of o-ray and e-ray can be coupled to each other totally, and the polarization direction can be rotated at any angle by external electric field; when the input light is of ellipsoidal polarization, the coupling between o-ray and e-ray is not complete while the azimuth angle of ellipsoid can also be rotated at any angle; when the input light is circularly polarized, there is no electro-optical coupling between o-ray and e-ray, and polarization of the output light keeps unchanged. For the case that QPM condition is not satisfied, the light propagating along PPLN is just as propagating along a normal birefringent crystal. The electro-optic effect makes no contribution to the birefringence when the poling duty cycle D is equal to 0.5.
Effect of modulated amplitude on oscillation of population probability
LIU Bi-rui, FU Zhen-xing
2010, 31(4): 672-676.
Abstract:
To explore the physical mechanism induced by a frequency-modulated light field, the phenomenon of the oscillation of population probability in a twolevel system under a frequency-modulated field is analyzed theoretically by means of the density matrix equation and Bloch vector model. The effect of the modulated amplitude on the process of the oscillation is also discussed. The results show that the oscillation of population probability and population transfer is modulated by the modulated amplitude. Increasing the modulated amplitude when the other parameters are fixed, the oscillation of population probability is weakened, and the efficiency of population transfer and the absorption are enhanced. The analysis in Bloch vector model shows that the population oscillation reflects the dynamic transformation process among the population transfer, absorption and polarization in the quantum system.
Gating beam intensity effect on the self-deflection of two-photon bright photovoltaic spatial solitons
SU Yan-li, JIANG Qi-chang, JI Xuan-mang
2010, 31(4): 677-680.
Abstract:
Gating beam intensity effect on the self-deflection of bright photovoltaic spatial solitons in two-photon photovoltaic photorefractive media was numerically investigated based on diffusion effect. Taking the bright photovoltaic solitons as the input solitary beam, the beam propagation equation was numerically solved in which the diffusion term was taken into account. The full width of half maximum (FWHM) of solitons intensity profile increases with gating beam intensity. The distance of self-deflection of solitons increases with gating beam intensity and starts to decrease when gating beam intensity is increased over a specific value. The nonlinear relation between self-deflection distance and gating beam intensity results from the effects of FWHM and diffusion term.
