Abstract:Based on the interference principle of Mach-Zehnder interferometer and the transfer matrix of multimode interference (MMI) coupler, the expression of the optical field at the output port was derived and the performance of the ladder-interference-type structure based tunable optical filter (LTOF) was investigated. The results show that there is an optimum splitting ratio of the MMI coupler for different stages obtained by algorithm. The increment in number of ladders for the LTOF will lead to the reducting peak power and narrowing 3 dB bandwidth. According to the effect of the diffraction order and the length of electrodes on the tuning performance, it is proposed to prolong the length of electrode by 40% to realize the continuous tuning. An example is given to verify the availability of this method.

Abstract:Fabrication of the Bragg grating in a highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber was investigated experimentally by phase mask method. Nonlinear coefficient and mode-area diameter of the highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber are 12 W-1km-1 and 2.4 mm respectively. The evolution of reflectivity of the Bragg grating against irradiation pulse number was analyzed. The reflectivity entered into a saturated phase with increasing the irradiation pulse number, and it began to decrease with further increasing exposure. Bragg grating with the reflectivity of 44.4% in the highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber was demonstrated, which paved the way for studying the nonlinear effects of fiber Bragg grating and their applications. The factors affecting writing efficiency Bragg grating in the highly nonlinear fiber were discussed.

Abstract:The influence of random zone position error, width error, interdiffusion and roughness on the efficiency of X-ray zone plates (ZP) was analyzed by summing up the wavelets of every pair of rings. Strehl ratio was used to quantify and evaluate the performance of the zone plates deviating from perfect ones. The tolerances of the 4 errors mentioned above were gained by using Strehl limit in two examples. The influence of random zone position and width error on the efficiencies of a Ni soft X-ray zone plate was calculated, and the influence of interdiffusion and roughness on the efficiencies of a SiO2/Ni hard X-ray sputtered sliced zone plate was analyzed. It is showed that the efficiency of the main focus decrease with increasing the four errors. The root-mean-square of random zone position and width error of the first zone plate need to be less than about 20% of the outmost zone width to generate a Strehl ratio higher than Strehl limit; the width of random interdiffusion region and the root-mean-square roughness of the second zone plate need to be less than about 90% and 60% of the outmost zone width to generate a Strehl ratio higher than Strehl limit respectively.

Abstract:Laser Doppler technique was used to measure the piezoelectric properties of PZT(Pb(Zr,Ti)O3) thin films. The measurement of piezoelectric properties on commercial PZT bulk indicated that the introduction of lock-in technique, which offered excellent noise rejection, raised the displacement resolution up to picometer order. Then experiments were performed on PZT films derived by sol-gel method and Electrical Spray Deposition (ESD) method. The obtained results show that the piezoelectric coefficients (d33) of the two films are 218.7 pC/N and 215.8 pC/N respectively, with 5 V dc bias, and the corresponding standard deviations are 12.7 and 28.6.

Abstract:A 8×8 array platinum film resistor temperature sensor on polyimide flexible substrate was successfully fabricated based on MEMS skin technology. The flexible polyimide substrate were formed by spin-coating liquid polyimide on a thermally oxidized silicon wafer. The wafer was used as a mechanical carrier for the flexible substrate during device fabrication. The finished flexible devices were finally separated from the carrier by wet etching. The test results show that the platinum film resistor temperature sensors on polyimide substrates exhibit excellent linearity and the temperature coefficient of resistance is close to 0.0023/℃. The spin-coated liquid polyimide solves two major problems comparing with the solid polyimide sheets as a flexible substrate. First, flatness of the flexible substrate is maintained with no air bubbles between the interface of ployimide and silicon. Second,the thermal expansion of the flexible substrates during the fabrication process due to thermal cycling is reduced greatly. The flexible skin with a temperature sensor array can be easily attached on a highly curved surface to detect temperature distribution inside a small area.

Abstract:The mechanism of generation of motion-blurred image was given. A mathematics model of motion-blurred image was built up. In addition, A procedure for estimating Point Spread Function(PSF) of motion-blurred was provided. The aerial vehicle platform and related system were quickly moving relative to ground target during the image data collection.The image might become blurred. The motion-blurred images could be restored using restoration of image. In restoration methods, Wiener filter is less sensitive to noise than inverse filter for the restoration of motion-blurred images, however, there is a large edge-error. This paper presents the optimal window technique for the restoration of motion-blurred images. With these optimal windows, near-perfect restorations can be obtained if the images vary gradually in intensity near their edge.

Abstract:An algorithm to extract the bullet holes from a chest bitmap out of doors real-time was proposed. A gray projection algorithm was used to extract the chest bitmap from the target bitmap. The mathematical morphology was used to stress the character of bullet holes and to overcome the disturbance of figures. Using mathematical morphology could resolve the overlapping of the bullet holes, then the fuzzy theory was used to extract the target holes accurately. For recognising the bullet holes, the histogram of the target bitmap was used to gain a threshold to exclude the pixels which could not become bullet holes to reduce the complication of computation and a strategy judging the distribution of the pixels around the target holes was used to exclude the invalidation bullet holes. Experiment results show that the algorithm can extract bullet holes accurately and adapt to various circumstances. If the size of the bitmap is 648×480, it only needs 150 ms to complete this algorithm. The new algorithm can also overcome the overlapping of the target holes.
Abstract:Denoising algorithm of L-curvature flow filter was presented. The image noise was obviously removed according to SNR level in terms of the algorithm. L filter, multistage L filter, and the filter combined L filter with curvature flow filter through many iterations, could filter image noise of higher, middle, and lower SNR level respectively. Experiment results show that the lower the input image SNR is, the better the performance of developed algorithm is comparing with the average filter and mean filter. When input image SNR level is low, output image SNR of the algorithm is about 2.98 dB higher than average filter for images with Gaussian noise, and 11.09 dB higher than mean filter for images with impulse noise. The method is very efficient to decrease the image noise of different kinds of SNR and intensities.
