A Two beams of light with different polarizations are incident on a focusing system with two lenses. Based on Richard-Wolf vectorial diffraction theory, the diffraction field distribution is calculated. Properties of optical trapping using the focusing system are analyzed when numerical aperture (NA) of lenses is low. A gold particle′s refractive index is higher than that of the medium (nm), and an air bubble′s is lower. When NA=0.58 nm, subwavelength bright and dark spot array is generated on the optical axis. These spots can be used to trap multiple gold particles and air bubbles. When NA=0.35 nm, wavelength cylindrical rings are formed around the optical axis, which can be used to two-dimensionally trap multiple air bubbles..

TheA novel method for image encryption by employing the diffraction imaging technique is proposed. This method is in principle suitable for most of the diffractive-imaging-based optical encryption schemes, and the classical double random phase encoding in the Fresnel domain is taken for an example for illustrating it. The encryption process is rather simple because only a single diffraction intensity pattern is needed to be recorded. The security keys include, in addition to the two phase only masks in the input and the Fresnel plane, the sparse data of the plaintext that can be obtained with a simple digital means. The sparse data serve as partial input plane support constraint in a phase retrieval algorithm, which is employed for completely retrieving the plaintext. Simulation results are presented to verify the validity of the proposed approach..

According to the objective definition requirement of 4 mm at the distance of 300 m, the imaging definition of 234 cycle/mm with a focal length of 320 mm is determined. A proper initial configuration is chosen, and then some optimization procedures are carried out with the optics design program OSLO, including the focus zooming, glass exchanging, lens reduction, etc. Finally an optical configuration of the telephoto objective is obtained with the relative aperture of 1/5.7, the field angle of 2 ω =1.379°, and the definition of 250 cycle/mm. The opto- mechanical structures are designed rationally and the experimental objective is manufactured. The definition testifies that its actual objective definition reaches 4 mm at the distance of 300 m. The site imaging experiment results at the location of a cable stayed bridge show that this system satisfies the remote detection requirements for the surface defects on the real engineering structures..

A method of speckle field phase encoding modulation is proposed to increase the speckle longitudinal correlation so that the contrast of the speckle interference fringes can be improved, and then the measurement range of the object surface deformation can be extended. The wavefront coding technique is used to code the speckle fields and a cubic phase mask is set at the position of aperture. The feasibility of this method in increasing the longitudinal correlation of speckle fields is analyzed firstly. The effect that the cubic phase mask in the 4f system can effectively increase the longitudinal correlation of coded speckle field is validated by simulation and experiment respectively. The results show that the longitudinal speckle size increases from 0.17 mm to 0.4 mm and increases by about 2.5 times..

Numerical analysis, combined with experimental observations, is also utilized. Calculations reveal that tensile stress is brought inside the cladding layer, and is mostly concentrated at the boundary of the substrate and the bottom of the layer. Thus, a tendency to crack takes place perpendicular to the laser scanning direction. In addition, preheating improves the process by reducing the thermal stresses in the first cladding. After cladding the parts twice, the stress of the cladding layer is decreased more rapidly than the stress of the scanning direction. Cracking is formed at a certain angle to the scanning direction. The reliability and the accuracy of the model are experimentally verified..

To facilitate the practical application of such a device, a new simplified parameter designing method is proposed through choosing appropriate transformation equation based on the theory of transformation optics. The virtues of such a method are that not only the radial and azimuthal parameters are constants and only axial parameter varies with radius, but also, there exist no undesired reflections due to perfect impedance matching to free space at outer boundary. Fullwave simulations confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method and the good performance of the designed amplifying device. Moreover, the effects of material loss and parameter deviation on the performance of the device are also investigated. This work expands the application of transformation optics, and also provides a new and feasible solution to simplify the parameters of metamaterial devices..

On this basis, a heterojunction composed of two semifinite photonic crystals is analyzed in detail. It is found that the semi- infinite photonic crystals on both sides of the heterostructure are equivalent to the negative permittivity materials or the negative permeability materials. Under the matching conditions, Tamm states emerge. By reducing the ratio of the optical thickness of the two dielectric layers, the first bandgap of TM or TE wave is significantly widened, and blueshift occurs for the position of the first bandgap. When refractive indices of the two media are increased in the same magnification, width of the first bandgap of TM or TE wave changes in the opposite directions, the former is gradually widened, the latter is narrowed, and redshift occurs for the position of the first bandgap. Transmission spectrum of the heterojunction is also significantly affected by the cycle number and angle of incidence..

The different visible lights passing through the double slits subwavelength structure produce optical splitting effects by filling with different insulators and setting the slit width, double slits width and thickness of the waveguide structure of double slit. The splitting effects are explained by using surface plasmon′ s principle and classical optics interference principle. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is adopted for numerical simulation. We simulate the light filed distribution in two cases of double slits with the same width filled in different insulators and the double slits with different width filled in same insulators. Both cases can achieve ideal splitting effects, and the biggest splitting ratio is 12. The MIM design has the advantage of simple structure, can be obtained by electron beam lithography system experiment equipment. Therefore, it has good application value..

A new approach named Gaussian inflexion points matching method (GIPM) is proposed to solve it. GIPM algorithm uses the quick locating algorithm for turning points in discrete point set of plane curve (QLATP) method for detecting the inflexion points (IFPs). The slope of the line between the detected IFP and its adjacent point is calculated. The detected IFPs are classified as left IFPs and right IFPs according to the slope. A left IFP and its neighboring right IFP comprise a Gaussian component, thus getting the number of the Gaussian components of waveform data. GIPM method is used to decompose the simulated and the measured waveform data, comparing with two traditional pulses detection method (center of gravity and Gaussian pulse fitting). The results demonstrate that the GIPM method can tremendously retain the impact of the pseudo IFPs, and quickly and accurately detect and decompose Gaussian components of the waveform data, and then immensely speed up the decomposition of waveform data. Meanwhile, it can get more Gaussian components than others, thus improving the density of point cloud..

The experimental results show that the spectral line intensity and plasma temperature increase with porosity firstly, and then change slowly. The minimum relative standard deviation of the spectral intensity is at the pressure of 1400 N. The internal standard method and background correction method are used to correct the influence of soil porosity, to some extent, reducing the porosity of the soil..

According to the research, silver colloids can be used as surface substrate to modify complexes of chlortetracycline and Eu(III), which makes the fluorescence intensity of complexes enhanced significantly. Silver colloids surface- enhanced fluorescence of Eu(III) is applied to detect chlortetracycline residues in egg albumen. Different addition amount of colloid and Eu(III), reaction time and other factors which have influence on fluorescence intensity are analyzed respectively in the research. The best experimental conditions are determined, and the calibration curve under the optimum condition is established between the fluorescence intensity of characteristic peak at 617 nm (Y) and chlortetracycline content (X). The results show that a good linearity is obtained between the fluorescence intensity and chlortetracycline concentration in egg albumen in the range of 1.5~29.5 mg/L. The linear function is Y=5.2265 + 24.033 X, and the determination coefficient is 0.9043. The determination coefficient between the measured values and predicted values is 0.9182. The results show that it is feasible to use silver colloids surface- enhanced fluorescence of Eu(III) to detect chlortetracycline residues in egg albumen rapidly..

The internal standard method is one of the main methods used in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) for quantitative analysis. The key of the internal standard method for quantitative analysis is the internal reference selection. Fe 438.35 nm is selected as the analytical line.

The key of the internal standard method for quantitative analysis is the internal reference selection. Fe 438.35 nm is selected as the analytical line. Area of 434~441 nm、Al 309.29 nm、Si 288.17 nm、 Ca 317.9 nm are selected as internal standard parameters for quantitative analysis of Fe in cement samples. The correlation coefficients of calibration curves are 0.993、0.962、0.992 and 0.846，respectively. By analyzing the intensity ratio of each internal standard element and Fe 438.35 nm at different delay time, as well as the dispersion of multiple measurement data of each internal standard element, it is obtained that when LIBS is used for quantitative analysis with internal standard method, the internal standard element which has similar changes to the analytical spectral line in the vicinity of delay time should be choosen. This can effectively decrease the quantitative analysis error caused by laser jitter and improve the accuracy of quantitative analysis..

Zhou Tao, Lu Xiaodong, Li Yuan, Zhang Peng, and Zhang Ming
Single- and double-layer anti-reflection coatings with many kinds of common dielectric coat materials are designed and optimized based on the transfer matrix method (TMM). A two-dimensional crystal line silicon solarcell structure model based on different anti-reflect coatings is established using Silvaco ATLAS device Single- and double-layer anti-reflection coatings with many kinds of common dielectric coat materials are designed and optimized based on the transfer matrix method (TMM). A two-dimensional crystal line silicon solarcell structure model based on different anti-reflect coatings is established using Silvaco ATLAS device simulation software. The effect of light absorption is analyzed and evaluated by comparing the spectral responses of cells with different single and double-layer anti-reflection coatings. The results show that the crystalline silicon solar cell with double- layer anti- reflection coatings has more effective absorption spectrum when the wavelength range is from 200 nm to 1100 nm. Compared with single- layer anti- reflection coatings, the double layers composed of different dielectric materials have smaller light reflection loss, the double-layer coatings can reduce the loss of the spectral response effectively, and its performance is better than single-layer coatings. MgF2/ZnS double-layer coatings have the best anti-reflection effect and the light reflectance can be reduced to lower than 5% for the incident light with wavelengths of 380~1000 nm..
