Using an improved inexion point method (IIPM), we investigate atmosphere boundary layer (ABL) height evolution over Hefei during the total solar eclipse on July 22, 2009.

A lidar ceilometer is used in ground-based observations. Estimations of ABL heights before, during, and after the solar eclipse are analyzed using the IIPM. Results indicate that the IIPM, which is less sensitive to background noise, is more suitable in detecting ABL height and temporal evolution. Data demonstrate that the total solar eclipse resultes in a decrease in ABL height, indicating a suppression of turbulence activity, similar to that observed during the sunset hours. Changes in ABL height are associated with a slow change in temperature, indicating a significant weakening of penetrative convection and a time lag between ABL response and the reduction in solar radiation..

A natural gas leakage detector based on scanned-wavelength direct absorption spectroscopy is described. The sensor employs a multi-channel scanned-wavelength direct absorption strategy. It has the potential to simultaneously monitor methane and hydrogen sulfide in open path environment. Traditionally, scanned wavelengtA natural gas leakage detector based on scanned-wavelength direct absorption spectroscopy is described. The sensor employs a multi-channel scanned-wavelength direct absorption strategy. It has the potential to simultaneously monitor methane and hydrogen sulfide in open path environment. Traditionally, scanned wavelength direct absorption spectroscopy is the technique choice for natural gas leakage applications because of its simplicity, accuracy, and stability. We perform the gas sensor using direct-absorption wavelength scans with isolated features at 1-kHz repetition rate and the center wavelength is stabilized at the center of the 2 \nu 3 band R(3) line of methane (1.65 \mu m) and the (\nu 1 +\nu 2 +\nu 3) combination band of hydrogen sulfide (1.57 \mu m), respectively. The influence of light intensity fluctuations can be eliminated by using scanned-wavelength direct absorption spectroscopy. Because of the fast wavelength scanning, the sensor has a response time of less than 0.1 s. The sensor can be configured to sense leakages in path-integrated concentrations of, for example, 100-ppm·m hydrogen sulfide and 10-ppm·m methane..

Ying Zhao, Xiaoping Zheng, Hanyi Zhang, and Bingkun Zhou
A novel scheme for ultra-wideband (UWB) monocycle pulse generation is proposed based on a dual-output push-pull Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). The MZM is driven by a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data sequence and biased at the nonlinear point to generate edge-triggered pulses. To combine the complementary pulses forming a mA novel scheme for ultra-wideband (UWB) monocycle pulse generation is proposed based on a dual-output push-pull Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). The MZM is driven by a non-return-to-zero (NRZ) data sequence and biased at the nonlinear point to generate edge-triggered pulses. To combine the complementary pulses forming a monocycle UWB pulse, two schemes are used to implement incoherent summation structure. A proof-of-concept experiment of UWB-over-fiber down-link system is set up. Further, by using digital signal processing (DSP) to calculate the bit error rate (BER), the transmission performance of two system configurations is studied..

Span constraints, which are determined by the impairment, are added to constrain the maximal transparent reach limit of a lightpath. Under span constraints, a series of short lightpaths will be built up explicitly to relay traffic when a single lightpath cannot meet the requirement of transmission quality. Both problem formulations and heuristic algorithms are given for impairment-aware traffic grooming. Numerical results show that the successful routing of each low-speed traffic stream is guaranteed and the efficiency of wavelength channels and lightpath usage are both improved by considering transmission impairment..

In the proposed approach, a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), being biased to generate two carrier-suppressed first-order sidebands, is cascaded with a phase modulator. The two optical sidebands are then sent to the phase modulator to generate two identical, but frequency-shifted phase-modulated spectra. Thanks to the complementary nature of the two adjacent comb lines in the phase-modulated spectra, the overlapping of the two spectra would lead to the generation of a flat optical comb. Since only the phase modulation index or the microwave power is needed to be adjusted, the system is easy to be implemented with tunable comb spacing and adjustable comb number. Numerical simulations are performed, and the approach is verified by an experiment..

The maximum transmission distance of the system is calculated numerically by sliding filters and synchronic modulation technology. The maximum transmission distance increases evidently which occasionally is three times longer than before. The results show that the actions of high order dispersion, polarization mode dispersion, and high order nonlinearity are weakened by the two methods. The compensating effect of synchronic modulation technology is better than that of the other one. The capability of the compensated system is ameliorated, which is shown by eye patterns..

As the key point, the general mapping function (MF) for image enhancement is deduced firstly on the basis of the nature-firing ICM (NF-ICM), which restrains the traditional autowave effect of blurring details and contrast. Then, the sigmoid MF is especially proposed to map the input gray-level to a more proper range for visual looking, and it solves over-enhancement and artifact by the classical logarithm one. For image enhancement application, the optimized parameters, initial threshold, and stopping condition in NF-ICM are all analyzed in detail. Simulation results prove that the proposed method has more contrasted, colorful, and good-visual performance..

The sensor consists of a multimode fiber in which a short section of standard single-mode fiber, coated with the inclusion of cryptophane molecules E in a transparent polysiloxane film, is inserted. The sensing principle is analyzed by optical waveguide theory. For different sensing film thicknesses and interaction lengths, the sensor signal is investigated within the methane concentration range of 0-14.5% (v/v). It is shown that the sensor signal with the thickness of 5 \mu m and the interaction length of 3 mm strengthens linearly with the increasing concentration of methane, with a slope of 0.0186. The best detection limit of the sensor for methane is 2.2% (v/v) with a response time of 90 s. This sensor is suitable for the detection of methane concentration below the critical value of 5%..

The far-field energy flux distributions and the beam quality by the power in the bucket (PIB) in the nonparaxial regime have been investigated. The PIB of the cylindrically polarized beam depends on the ratio of the waist width to wavelength, the order of the Laguerre polynomial, and the angle between the electrical vector and the radial direction. The analyses show that azimuthal polarization compared with radial polarization has better energy focusability in the far field..

The initial states of cavity photons are prepared in two types of W-like states while the corresponding reservoirs are prepared in the factorable vacuum state. The result shows that all the pairwise concurrences of the total system including cavities and reservoirs undergo qualitatively different dynamical behaviors. Among the two W-like states, only one could exhibit entanglement sudden death (ESD) leading the corresponding reservoirs to exhibit entanglement sudden birth. In addition, by taking the entanglement of the corresponding reservoirs into account, entanglement invariants are constructed for the W-like state that does not undergo ESD..

We propose a scheme to prepare the Bell states for atomic qubits trapped in separate optical cavities via atom-cavity-laser interaction. The quantum information of each qubit is encoded on the degenerate ground states of the atom, so the entanglement between them is relatively stable against spontaneous emission. The pWe propose a scheme to prepare the Bell states for atomic qubits trapped in separate optical cavities via atom-cavity-laser interaction. The quantum information of each qubit is encoded on the degenerate ground states of the atom, so the entanglement between them is relatively stable against spontaneous emission. The proposed scheme consists of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) with two arms, and each arm contains a cavity with an N-type atom in it. It requires two classical fields and a single-photon source. By controlling the sequence and time of atom-cavity-laser interaction, the deterministic production of the atomic Bell states is shown. We also introduce the generalization of the present scheme to generate the 2N-atom Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state..
