99339 and 0.95916, respectively). Besides, the introduction of Au-Ag ANCs makes the Raman spectra intensity of thiram (a pesticide) with a concentration of 30 ppm on the surface of the blank ITO glass significantly enhanced, and it can detect thiram with a concentration as low as 0.03 ppm. In addition, Au-Ag ANCs substrate exhibits great uniformity and stability, so they have considerable application potential in the field of quantitative detection of trace substances.We investigate in detail the azimuthal and radial modulation (i.e., the azimuthal order lj and radial order pj with j = 1, 2) of double-four-wave mixing (double-FWM) by use of two higher-order Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beams in a Landau quantized graphene ensemble. A pair of weak probe pulses in the graphene ensemble interacts with two LG beams and thus two vortex FWM fields with the opposite vorticity are subsequently generated. In combination with numerical simulations, we reveal that (i) there appear l1 + l2 periods of phase jumps in the phase profiles under any conditions; (ii) p + 1 concentric rings emerge in the intensity profile and the strength is mainly concentrated on the inner ring when the two LG beams have the same radial orders (i.e., p1 = p2 = p); (iii) there are p raised narrow rings occurring in the phase profile in the case of p1 = p2 = p and l1 ≠ l2, and the raised narrow rings would disappear when p1 = p2 and l1 = l2; (iv) pmax + 1 concentric rings appear in the intensity profile, meanwhile, |p1 - p2| convex discs and pmin raised narrow rings emerge in the phase diagram in the case of p1 ≠ p2, here pmax = max(p1, p2) and pmin = min(p1, p2). Moreover, the two generated FWM fields have the same results, and the difference is that the phase jumps are completely opposite. These findings may have potential application in graphene-based nonlinear optical device by using LG beams with adjustable mode orders.With the increasing demands for large-scale acoustic sensing in many important fields such as hydrophone, vehicle tracking and pipeline monitoring, optical fiber-based distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) has experienced a rapid development. In recent years, quasi-distributed acoustic sensing (QDAS) based on single mode fiber with enhanced point array has emerged, which is a good approach to improve signal-to-noise ratio and deal with the interference-fading problem in DAS. However, similar to DAS, the performance of QDAS is also limited by the finite frequency domain resources. To break the trade-off between sensing bandwidth and distance, additional frequency domain resources are always needed to multiplex the sensing channel. Multiple-input multiple-output coding technology is an approach to realize QDAS channel-multiplexing with the orthogonal probe waves in the same frequency band. In this paper, the iteration constrain condition of the orthogonal codes is modified, and the generation method of more orthogonal codes with high and consistent suppression ratio for QDAS is provided. Epigenetic inhibitor In the demonstration experiment, the QDAS has successfully achieved 5 times the sensing bandwidth expansion on a 5.19 km fiber based on 5 new orthogonal codes on the same frequency, with 5 m spatial resolution and 10 p ε/H z strain noise level.Ghost imaging (GI) reconstructs images using a single-pixel or bucket detector, which has the advantages of scattering robustness, wide spectrum, and beyond-visual-field imaging. However, this technique needs large amounts of measurements to obtain a sharp image. Numerous methods are proposed to overcome this disadvantage. Retina-like patterns, as one of the compressive sensing approaches, enhance the imaging quality of the region of interest (ROI) while maintaining measurements. The design of the retina-like patterns determines the performance of the ROI in the reconstructed image. Unlike the conventional method to fill in ROI with random patterns, optimizing retina-like patterns by filling in the ROI with the patterns containing the sparsity prior of objects is proposed. The proposed method is then verified by simulations and experiments compared with conventional GI, retina-like GI, and GI using patterns optimized by principal component analysis. The method using optimized retina-like patterns obtains the best imaging quality in ROI among other methods. Meanwhile, the good generalization capability of the optimized retina-like pattern is also verified. The feature information of the target can be obtained while designing the size and position of the ROI of retina-like patterns to optimize the ROI pattern. The proposed method facilitates the realization of high-quality GI.This paper presents an integrated imaging system of optical camera and synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The system can realize 400 nm-900 nm visible and near infrared band and 35 GHz microwave Ka band dual-band imaging. Compared with the single band imaging system, the observation ability and environmental adaptability of the integrated imaging system have been significantly improved. The optical camera shares a common front system with the synthetic aperture radar. After simulation, the average modulation transfer function (MTF) of 50 line pairs per millimeter (lp/mm) of the optical subsystem is 0.47. In addition, a principle prototype with a pupil diameter of 210 mm was developed to verify the performance of synthetic aperture radar antennas. After the experimental test, the SAR radiation pattern simulation results are in good conformity with the measured results, which are in line with the expected results.One can display images and harvest energy by utilizing ambient light with a stack of an optical shutter array, a luminescent layer and a solar cell. In our experiment, a luminescent layer and a corresponding color filter were attached to a polycrystalline Si solar cell with 13% power conversion efficiency. For each configuration using BBOT, Coumarin 6 and Lumogen F Red 305, the power conversion efficiency was measured to be 6.7%, 8.0% and 8.9%, respectively. The luminance of these configurations was proportional to the illuminance in all cases. Its color gamut was comparable to the National Television System Committee standard.Recovery of optical phases using direct intensity detection methods is an ill-posed problem and some prior information is required to regularize it. In the case of multi-mode fibers, the known structure of eigenmodes is used to recover optical field and find mode decomposition by measuring intensity distribution. Here we demonstrate numerically and experimentally a mode decomposition technique that outperforms the fastest previously published method in terms of the number of modes while showing the same decomposition speed. This technique improves signal-to-noise ratio by 10 dB for a 3-mode fiber and by 7.5 dB for a 5-mode fiber.We describe a ‚clock control unit‘ based on a dual-axis cubic cavity (DACC) for the frequency stabilisation of lasers involved in a strontium optical lattice clock. The DACC, which ultimately targets deployment in space applications, provides a short-term stable reference for all auxiliary lasers-i.e. cooling, clear-out, and optical lattice-in a single multi-band cavity. Long-term cavity drift is compensated by a feed-forward scheme exploiting a fixed physical relation to an orthogonal second cavity axis; either by reference to an ultrastable 698 nm clock laser, or by exploiting the differential drift between orthogonal axes extracted by a single laser in common view. Via a change of mirror set in the cavity axis accessed by the clock laser, the system could also provide stabilisation for sub-Hz linewidths at the 698 nm clock wavelength, fulfilling all stabilisation requirements of the clock.The coupling loss between optical devices is a critical factor affecting the performance of optical interconnect. This paper quantitatively studies the effectiveness of using a dye-doped-epoxy-based self-written waveguide (SWW) to reduce the coupling loss in optical interconnect caused by large mode-field mismatch and lateral offset. We formed SWW between single-mode fiber (SMF) with different mode-field diameters (MFD) and a 5 × 2 µm rectangular channel waveguide-under-test (WUT). For the case between a SMF with a mode-field diameter of 9.4 μm and the WUT, the coupling loss is -11 dB. After forming the SWW, the coupling loss is reduced by 8.34 dB. Using SWW, the lateral tolerance length between a SMF with a mode-field diameter of 4.5 μm and the WUT increases by 2.5 times. Under the above-mentioned situation, the coupling loss falls less than 0.20 dB over ± 2 μm lateral offset range. Our findings offer insights quantitatively for coupling loss reduction and relaxing the lateral tolerance under significant mode-field mismatch conditions.We have developed a compact vacuum system for laser cooling and spectroscopy of neutral thulium atoms. Compactness is achieved by obviating a classical Zeeman slower section and placing an atomic oven close to a magneto-optical trap (MOT), specifically at the distance of 11 cm. In this configuration, we significantly gained in solid angle of an atomic beam, which is affected by MOT laser beams, and reached 1 million atoms loaded directly in the MOT with only 15 mW of MOT cooling beams net power. By exploiting Zeeman-like deceleration of atoms with an additional laser beam and tailoring the MOT magnetic field gradient with a small magnetic coil, we demonstrated trapping of up to 13 million atoms. These results show great perspective of the developed setup for realizing a compact high-performance optical atomic clock based on thulium atoms.Designing diffractive waveguides for head-mounted displays requires wide-angle conical diffraction analysis of multiple gratings. In this work, diffractive waveguide design using the relative direction cosine space, which extends the direction cosine space to a relative space involving refractive indices and can describe grating diffraction through various media, is demonstrated. A diffractive waveguide was fabricated with grating periods of 382 and 270 nm, which generated a monochromatic virtual image image in green light (520 nm). The maximum field of view was measured as 39° with 0.5° deviation from the center of view.The calibration of multi-projector display with extra-large field of view (FOV) and quantitative registration analysis for realizing perfect visual splicing is crucial and difficult. In this paper, we present a novel calibration method to realize the seamless splicing for a multi-projector display system with extra-large FOV. The display consists of 24 projectors, covering the range of 360 degrees in the longitude direction and 210 degrees in the latitude direction. A wide-angle camera fixed on a rotating optical system is used to scan the entire display scene and establish point-to-point correspondence between projector pixels and spatial points using the longitude and latitude information. Local longitude table and latitude table are established on the target of the wide-angle camera. A deterministic method is proposed to locate the North Pole of the display. The local tables corresponding to different camera views can be unified based on the image of the North Pole to form global longitude and latitude tables of arbitrary free-form surface.
