The measurement and analysis are done from three aspects of regional stability, wavelength stability and frequency stability by using specific instrument. 21 points in specific locations are chosen for testing the regional stability of scintillation and angle-of-arrival. By using the coherence length as the indicator, 532 nm, 808 nm, 1064 nm and 1550 nm lasers are used to test the wavelength stability of the convection turbulence simulator. Finally, the spectra of scintillation and angle-of-arrival are analyzed to test the spectral stability of turbulence simulator. The experimental results show that, the performance fluctuation of the convection turbulence simulator in a 16 cm ×16 cm area is less than 15%, the coherence length fluctuation under four wavelengths meets Kolmogrov theory and the spectrum fluctuation is less than 20%. The turbulence simulator can simulate the atmospheric turbulence with high precision, high reliability and high stability. The research provides a strong support for the applications of the convection turbulence simulator..

Non-contact optical profile is used to measure the surface roughness of the metal targets. The source of micro defects is analyzed emphatically when absorption layer is aluminum foil tape. Samples with different surface roughnesses are treated by LSP. Experimental results show that there will form macro dents and micro convex-concave structures on the impacted regions when black paint is used as the absorption layer. When the absorption layer is aluminum foil tape, besides the macro dents, there will form large amounts of micro defects on the impacted region. Through analysis and experimental research, it is confirmed that the formation of micro defects are associated with the air bubbles existed in the glue on the back of aluminum foil tape. LSP can increase the overall roughness but reduce the maximum height of roughness when the original roughness is high. When the surface smoothness is high, LSP can increase the overall roughness and the maximum height of roughness..

The transmission properties are analyzed with full vector finite element method combined with perfectly matched layer boundary conditions, and the variation of bending properties with the bending radius and bending orientation angle are discussed. By optimizing the structure parameters, the fiber can only transfer the fundamental mode HE11 and second-order mode HE21 at a wavelength of 1550 nm. When the fiber is in a straight state or the bending radius is 35 cm, mode field area of the mode HE11 and HE21 are greater than 1000 mm2, and the bending loss is lower than 0.075 dB/m. Besides, the fiber can effectively inhibit the decrease of mode field area that results from the bending deformation. The minimum bending radius can reach 10 cm, and the bending orientation angle can be extended to ± 180° . The designed fiber with large mode area, low bending loss and low sensitivity of bending orientation has important applications in high power optical communication devices..

Simulation results show that bandwidth utilization and transmission efficiency of the proposed scheme are higher than those of the ordinary schemes. In addition, the channel capacity in the hybrid MPPM frame construction including protected slots is also higher than that of the ordinary schemes..

Therefore, phase-shifting technique is usually employed. But it is not fit for dynamic analysis for demanding more than one hologram. However, the reconstructed image according to different sections of the object will be disturbed by the twin image and the out-of-focus section image by employing the traditional numerical reconstruction method for the analysis of one single in-line digital hologram. A numerical reconstruction method according to compressive sensing theory for the analysis of single low-coherence in-line digital hologram is proposed. By this method, the twin image and the coherent noise can be inhibited. The theory is presented in detail. Experimental research on light emitting diode-based digital holography is performed to demonstrate the feasibility and validity of the method..

The best OAI mode is As an important resolution enhancement technology (RET), off-axis illumination (OAI) can not only improve lithography resolution, but also improve depth of focus (DOF) to some degree. Finding a best OAI mode to improve lithography performance for specific mask pattern is the main research content. The best OAI mode is obtained through optimum design method, using the steepest descent algorithm as the optimum method, and using process window as the evaluation function. The process window contains three information: image fidelity, exposure latitude and depth of focus. The three aspects are described by performance of aerial image, and the three functions are weighted to get a comprehensive evaluation function. The complex photoresist model is avoided, and the evaluation function value can be obtained quickly and accurately by the propsed method. The optimal OAI modes and actual process window are solved for different weights, and the results show that the actual performance of process window can be reflected by evaluation function described through aerial image, and the performance of process window can be improved greatly by using the optimal source obtained by selecting right weight..

During the processing of optical elements, stray light caused by specular scattering can not be ignored. Taking microscope objectives with 20× magnification and NA=0.49 as a typical example and using the optical analysis software TracePro, a simulation model of measuring veiling glare of microscope objectives is built up. Through analyzing the factors affecting the model with different illuminance numerical apertures, different illuminance fields and different black spot positions, the feasibility of the model is verified. On this basis, the stray light intensity on the image plane with different NA microscope objectives is simulated quantitatively under the condition of different surface roughness (2, 5, 10, 20 nm) and different cleanliness levels (250, 500, 750). The results indicate that the surface roughness greater than 10 nm and the cleanliness level higher than 500 will change the stray light intensity distribution on the image plane, and affect the system performance significantly, especially for those microscope objectives with large NA. It is of critical importance to keep the surface of optical elements clean and to improve the processing technology of optical elements..

Microstructure and fracture morphology of welded joint are investigated by means of optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the mechanical properties of the weld are evaluated by micro-hardness and tensile strength testing. The results show that both heat input and laser power density play a crucial role in macro-morphology of welded joint. Welding speed has a significant impact on micro grain morphology. Weld zone is made up of martensite and some carbide particles. There are mainly austenites and a bit δ -ferrites on the 304 fusion zone while lath-shaped martensite, bainite and ferrites are produced on the heat affected zone of E36. When the laser power is 1 kW, micro-hardness of the welding seam is lower than that of the others, and the tensile specimen break occurs at the seam, while the other specimens occur at the side of E36..

Furthermore, it makes follow-up forming difficult. In this case, it becomes necessary to conduct auxiliary mechanical milling and polishing. However, laser forming is one quench solidification process that results in high hardness which makes machining of these hardened surfaces impractical. In addition, if the shape of parts is complex, the finishing machining operations will require multiple jigs and fixture setups which are time consuming and highly inefficient. In fact, the finishing machining operations can account for more than 60% of the entire manufacturing cycle. To overcome the difficulty, a new composite precision rapid prototyping method is proposed. This new method is based on machining the cladding part by laser milling. The proposed high performance and precise approach results in greatly improved surface quality, as measured by surface morphology, as opposed to the traditional laser cladding forming. Furthermore, it will eliminate the need for the post processing and reduce the processing time and ultimately the processing cost of the part..

The influence of laser induced plasma shock waves in the medium/silicon interface on silicon surface topography is studied. The shock wave mechanical signals are gathered by piezoelectric sensors and the morphology of silicon surfaces is observed by scanning electron microscopes (SEM). It is found that at the same energy level, the average speed of the underwater shock wave generated by irradiating the silicon surface under water is 1.5~2 times higher than that in air, and the mechanical strength under water is about 10 times higher than that in air. By observing the silicon surface morphology, it is found that many raised bulbs and recessed holes appears at the center of the craters on silicon surface under water, with corrugated structure but no sediment at the edges. While the center of the craters on silicon surface in air are relatively smooth, with circles of sediment at the edges. Thermal-mechanical effect induced by plasma shock waves generated at the medium/silicon interface is the main reason of silicon surface topography formation. Under water, greater mechanical strength of the shock wave induced by restriction effect of water, and explosive boiling thermal phenomena result in completely different topography as compared with those in air..

Numerical simulations show that, the beam would present linear diffraction in the isotropic media. While in the anisotropic nonlinear media, without taking the diffusion effect into account, the input beam would keep shape and be a line in the transmission direction. The beam would be selfbending when considering the diffusion effect. What′s more, the direction and degree of self-deflection are related to the temperature. At last, The relationship between self-bending distance and the temperature is analyzed.

Different visible lights passing through the multi-slits structure produce optical splitting effects by filling with different insulators and setting the slit width, thickness of improved plasmonic dichroic splitter based on three and four subwavelength metallic slits metal-insulator-metal (MIM) stuctures is proposed. Different visible lights passing through the multi-slits structure produce optical splitting effects by filling with different insulators and setting the slit width, thickness of the waveguide structure of multi-slits. The splitting effects are explained by using surface plasmon's principle and classical optics interference principle. Numerical simulation by the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is conducted to verify the design. Compared to two subwavelength metallic slits structure, the higher splitting ratio can be achieved in multi-slits structures. Those MIM designs due to the advantage of simple structures can be obtained by using experimental equipment such as electron beam lithography.

Compared with traditional neural network methods, it has simple structure, high learning speed and good generalization performance. However, the output weight of ELM is estimated by the least squares estimation (LSE) method, and thus ELM network lacks of robustness since LSE is relatively sensitive to outlier. A new robust ELM based on least absolute deviations (LAD) regression, called LAD-ELM, is presented. Moreover, the proposed LAD-ELM is posed as a linear program with global optimal solution. Furthermore, the proposed LAD-ELM is directly used for near-infrared (NIR) spectral analysis, and an analysis system for hardness of licorice seeds is built based on LAD-ELM and NIR data. Compared with the traditional methods, the experimental results in different spectral regions show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
