The majority of the methods that are used to deduce the intensity distribution function of the Lau effect are rather complicated, among these, the method based on the cross-spectral density function is relatively easy. The process of deducing the intensity distribution function of Lau fringes generated by double identical gratings is studied based on the method, and the method is tried to be applied in a more general situation, two different gratings. The feasibility of the method in the situation of two gratings with the same grating constant but different duty ratios is discussed, and the simplified intensity distribution functions of two cases, in which the arranged positions of the two gratings are swapped, are achieved. The theoretical predictions are well demonstrated by the experimental results. Thus, the partially coherent theory based on the cross- spectral density function also works in the situation with two gratings of the same grating constant and different duty ratios..

The symbol structure,bandwidth requirement and average transmit power are analyzed and compared, and the slot error rate is derived. The simulation results show that OOK has the minimum bandwidth, while RDH- PIM has the highest average transmit power and its bandwidth efficiency is notably better than PPM and DPIM. Hence, RDH-PIM is superior in the optical wireless communication system..

The method of using embedded Kalman particle filter is used to predict the predicted status value of particle filter secondarily. And the secondary sampling technique is used to enhance particle richness, and thus eliminates the influence of background noise to a certain extent. Besides in order to meet the requirements of Kalman on linear motion and to eliminate the effect of rapid background change on tracking accuracy, the gray projection algorithm is promoted to calculate the background migration for motion compensation. The experiment results show that the improved Kalman particle filter algorithm can effectively track the moving object in the complex dynamic scene, which proves that the propposed KPF algorithm has high precision, strong robustness and good real-time performance..

A fiber laser is focused on the metal sample using f- θ lens and moves at constant velocity in a line direction through a galvanometer. The output displacement of the sample′ s free end is measured in real time. A simple closed- form model of laser micro displacement adjustment is established. The effect of laser power, scanning velocity, defocus distance and position of laser irritating on the output displacement is investigated. The experimental results show that an adjustment displacement with submicron scale repeatability on the metal plate sample can be realized in this platform and the best choice to achieve precision adjustment is to adjust the position of laser irritating. An adjustment with little damage to the sample surface is achieved through optimizing the process parameters..

The characteristics of the scheme are as follows. Provided that v0 is large enough, λi-λf.When superconductivity sheets with their gaps cover the waggle magnets, or when incident laser is strong enough, the longitudinal length of effective backscattering region s can markedly decrease. Thus, the laser with its wavelength λf can be realized. A laser resonator parallel with the incident electron beam can produce incident laser with high enough intensity. It is possible that the power of an outputting laser beam is larger than that of an incident laser beam, although the number of the photons of the outputting laser beam is less than that of the incident laser beam..

The calculated electronic structure shows that the conduction bands move to high energy direction, while the whole valence bands shift to low energy direction, the band gap becomes wider, the hybridization of 3d states electron of Ga atoms and 2p states electron of N atoms is enhanced significantly. Results of optical properties reveal that absorption spectrum occurs absorption edge near 1.6 eV when there is no stress.

The DLC (a- C:H) films are prepared on Si substrate by RF- PECVD technology with n- butane(C4H10) as the reactant, the effect of Ar on the properties of DLC films is studied by changing the flow rate of Ar. Determination of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, hardness, thermal stability and roughness of the surface demonstrates that the relative content of H in the DLC and the hardness of DLC films decrease with the increase of the flow rate of Ar, the hardness decreases from 23 GPa to 20 GPa, and the roughness of the surface increases from Ra= 3.732 nm to Ra= 8.628 nm, the flow rate of Ar almost has no effect on the thermal stability of DLC films, but the stress decreases from -1.8 GPa to -1.1 GPa..

Study on Improving the Optical Performance of Reaction Bonded Silicon Carbide Mirror
Wang Tongtong
Reaction bonded silicon carbide (RB-SiC) is a kind of mirror substrate material with good performance, however, it′s difficult to obtain fine surface without special treatment for the intrinsic defects.

Xray diffraction (XRD) is used to measure the crystal structure of the RB-SiC substrate, polycrystalline silicon carbide and polycrystalline silicon are the main composition. The residual pin holes and steps on the surface observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) cause the scattering and decrease the optical performance directly. A silicon surface modification coating is deposited on the RB-SiC surface by the plasma ion assisted deposition (PIAD), and the defects are eliminated, a fine optical surface is achieved after polishing the silicon surface modification coating. Total integrated scattering of bare RB-SiC and the surface after surface modification is measured by a self-made scatterometer, the results are 9.37% and 1.84% , respectively, the value after modification is only 1/5 compared to that of the bare RB-SiC. Great optical performance improvement of the RB-SiC mirror is achieved, and it′s almost close to the performance of the fine polished K9 glass..
