2015, 39(5): 585-589. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.05.001
Abstract:
To achieve azimuthally polarized beam, hybrid grating mirror was designed based on rigorous coupled wave analysis method. At first, amorphous Ge grating with high depth-to-width ratio was obtained by studying the etching characteristics of pseudo Bosch process on Ge grating. And then, dielectric-metal hybrid grating mirror was obtained after the randomly distributed Ge nanoneedle was introduced at the bottom of gate groove, and gold film and dielectric protective film were coated in turn. Finally, 550W azimuthally polarized beam was generated when hybrid grating mirror was used as the rear mirror of a fast axial flow CO2 laser. The results show that hybrid grating mirror has high polarization selectivity because of the introduction of nano-pillars as well as gold ridge.

Abstract:
In order to improve the situation of the metal powder radiation existing in the current powder feeding broadband laser cladding nozzles and the low utilization rate, a collimation hood of powder feeding nozzle for broadband laser cladding was designed. A flow channel was designed to realize the uniformity of inside-laser powder feeding, to ensure that the powder was heated evenly and the divergence of powder beam was small. FLUENT software was used to analyze the internal fluid of collimation gas cover, to determine the inside cavity and the outlet size of device, to reduce the turbulence at the exit and to achieve better collimation effect. The experiment of the new powder feeding device was conducted to verify the effectiveness of gas collimator device. The results indicate that the best collimation could be achieved when width of the collimated gas curtain is 1.5 times of the width of powder beam.

The results show that, with the increase of laser power, root humps tend to increase at first and then decrease. When welding speed increases, root hump height increases at first and then decreases, root hump spacing decreases significantly. When defocus is near 0mm, root hump tendency is obvious. Under the appropriate flow rate of bottom shielding gas, root hump tendency is reduced. The optimal rate is 15L/min. When welding orientation is 60, root hump tendency decreases to a certain extent. The results show that reasonable welding parameters can eliminate root hump efficiently.

Abstract:
In order to study effect of multiple quantum well (MQW) on threshold current of a semiconductor ring laser (SRL), the function relationship between threshold current of SRL and MQW structural parameters was analyzed based on the oscillation condition of a conventional Fabry-Perot laser. An optimal expression of quantum well number was derived. Equivalent model of SRL was founded by utilizing device simulation software ATLAS. The effect of quantum well number, well width and barrier thickness on threshold current density of SRL were simulated and analyzed at various operating temperatures. The simulation results show that threshold current decreases firstly and then increases with increasing of well number and well width. A set of optimal values existed. After determining the appropriate well number and well width, the barrier with relatively narrower thickness can further reduce the threshold current. For GaAs/AlGaAs material system and device structure, the optimal parameters are M=3, dw=20nm, and db=10nm respectively.

ZHANG Fan
2015, 39(5): 662-665. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.05.016
Abstract:
In order to filter the noise in infrared images effectively, an improved non-local mean filtering (INLMF) algorithm was proposed. In the traditional non-local means filtering (NLMF) algorithm, the square image blocks of fixed size cannot depict the image details effectively. For overcoming the defects of NLMF, a novel adaptive classification method of image blocks, combing with gray scale information of image pixels, was put forward. The divided image block in size and shape depended on the actual distribution of gray scale information. And then, structure similarity (SSIM) factor was introduced to improve the calculation method of image blocks weights. Two infrared monitoring images were filtered by two traditional NLMF algorithms and the new INLMF algorithm. The theoretical and experimental results show that the performance of INLMF is superior to the others. It is helpful for enhancing the filtering effects of infrared images.

Abstract:
In order to eliminate the speckle in laser microscopic imaging system, effect of optical fiber vibration on microscopic speckle images was studied by comparing the speckle dark ratio. In this experiment, with laser at 532nm wavelength as light source of the microscopic system, with the optical fiber vibration to eliminate the image speckle and a CCD image sensor acquisition system to collect the microscopic images of the sample surface, images dark ratios were analyzed at different vibration voltages. The results show that with the increase of the vibration voltage, the speckle dark ratio of the images will reduce gradually. When the voltage is 2.6V, the image speckle dark ratio can reach 5.64%, speckle contrast is 4.17% close to human eye resolution of 4%. This method can achieve good speckle elimination effect.

2015, 39(5): 669-673. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.05.018
Abstract:
In order to get better results of 3-D laser scanning image denoising, an improved sparse representation denoising algorithm was proposed by combining histogram structural similarity (HSSIM) and residual ratio threshold. The initial over-complete dictionary was applied in the sparse decomposition. The reconstruction error was replaced by similarity factor as fidelity factor. Then the residual ratio threshold was used as the iteration termination of the orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm to reconstruct the denoised image. Finally, the performance data of denoised image, such as peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR) and HSSIM, were obtained. The experimental results show that the proposed method could provide better PSNR and HSSIM results compared with the image denoising methods using db2 wavelet transform, multiscale curve wave transform and discrete cosine transform. Meanwhile, the structural features can be reserved effectively by the proposed method.

2015, 39(5): 674-678. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.05.019
Abstract:
In order to evaluate jamming effect of high-repetition rate laser, the laser jamming mechanisms of laser seekers with different amplification circuits were analyzed. The traction effect of high-repetition rate laser jamming was described. The necessity of large dynamic range signal amplification in laser seekers was studied. The principles of two different amplification circuits were introduced. The jamming effect of high-repetition rate laser was analyzed based on automatic gain control circuit and log-ratio amplifier circuit. The research indicates that high-repetition rate laser jamming was an effective method of laser countermeasure. The action effects were different because of different amplifying circuits of laser seekers. An automatic gain control circuit could not amplify signal instantly because of gain adjustment time and guided signal would be shielded by high-repetition rate laser jamming. A log-ratio amplifier circuit could broad the signal pulse width and decreases the signal-to-noise ratio and four branches signal consistency, which make high-repetition rate laser jam a seeker easily. The results will be helpful for evaluation of jamming effect of high-repetition rate laser.

2015, 39(5): 679-684. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.05.020
Abstract:
In order to study the dynamical behaviors of self-Q-switched erbium-doped fiber lasers, all-fiber self-Q-switched erbium-doped fiber lasers with linear cavity configuration and ring cavity configuration were constructed. Theoretical analysis and experimental verification were also carried out. In the experiment, when pump power reached the threshold, output laser was observed by oscilloscope with the increase of pump power. Linear cavity laser output experienced two operation states of continuous wave (CW) and self-Q-switched in turn and failed to appear CW operation state again because of the constraint of pump power. Ring cavity laser output experienced self-Q-switched operation state at first and then CW operation state. For linear cavity, self-Q-switched pulses can be obtained with pulse width from 8s to 100s and repetition rate from 2.5kHz to 54kHz in pump power range from 21mW to 190mW. For ring cavity, self-Q-switched pulses can be obtained with pulse width about 165s and repetition rate about 3kHz at pump power range from 16.2mW to 110mW. The results show that dynamical behaviors of output laser are different because cavity configurations of self-Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser are different. Although both linear and ring cavities have self-Q-switched pulse output, the range of self-Q-switched pulse is wider for linear cavity.

2015, 39(5): 685-688. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.05.021
Abstract:
An object's surface temperature distribution and surface information can be obtained generally through infrared and visible image fusion. In order to find out internal heat source within an object, an image fusion strategy between infrared and X-ray images based on wavelet transform was proposed because wavelet transform has better multi-resolution properties in time domain and frequency domain. Firstly, the infrared color image was transformed into gray-scale image. Then, Mallat algorithm was employed to decompose the infrared and X-ray images. The fusion image was gotten by the rules of low frequency coefficient averaging and high frequency coefficient absolute value maximizing. The colored temperature information of infrared images was transferred to the fused wavelet images by using YIQ space transform. Finally, the fused image was evaluated quantitatively by image entropy, standard deviation and average gradient. The experiment results show that the fused image integrates infrared and X-ray image information, which reflects not only the component's surface temperature distribution but also its clear inner structure.

2015, 39(5): 689-693. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.05.022
Abstract:
In order to explore effect of wedge end on the characteristics of fiber transfer, wedge-shaped micro/nano fiber was studied and coupling efficiency of two wedge-shaped micro/nano fibers was calculated by using COMSOL Multiphysics numerical simulation software. Energy distribution of a single wedge-shaped micro-nano fiber and coupling efficiency of two fibers were obtained. The results show that more energy is distributed on the surface of the fiber core when it gets closer to the fiber tip. Along the direction of transmission, there is an increase of energy density of the wedge at first and then a decrease. Fresnel reflection of wedge-shaped end has a little influence on coupling efficiency and the whole variation. Coupling efficiency would decrease with the increase of axial displacement and radial displacement, and would decrease at first and then increase with the increase of wedge angle. The study of micro/nano fiber will lay the foundation in fiber optic sensing field.

Abstract:
In order to obtain high-fidelity 3-D images, an adaptive mean filtering algorithm for high resolution 3-D images was proposed. Firstly, a high-precision 3-D linear laser measuring system consisting of a laser, two high-resolution 3-D cameras, two linear motors and a computer was established to measure the texture of leather. After theoretical analysis and experimental verification of the high-resolution 3-D texture images (dots per inch 1000) collected by the measuring system, the data of high-fidelity three dimensional images after filtering were gotten. The effect of the adaptive mean filtering algorithm was compared with the effects of mean filtering method and wavelet threshold filtering method. The results show that the adaptive mean filtering algorithm can remove noise of 3-D images effectively, select the appropriate filtering window automatically, and also keep details and edge information of high resolution images. Finally, the high resolution 3-D texture images with high fidelity would be obtained. The experimental results are very helpful for denoising processing of high resolution images.

2015, 39(5): 712-716. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.05.027
Abstract:
Coherent beam was an important method to obtain high power and high beam quality laser. In order to analyze the characteristics of fiber laser beam combination, influence of fiber laser array structure, phase random jitter, fiber spacing, transmission distance and other factors on coherent combination was discussed by comparing the intensity distribution at different propagation distance. Power in the bucket for coherent beam was evaluated. The result shows that intensity distribution of different fiber laser array is different when the propagation distance is near. Intensity distribution is close to Gaussian distribution with the increasing of propagation distance. The number of the maximum intensity distribution points in the axis has the close relationship with the circular number of fiber laser array. The coherent effect is better if the random phase difference of the laser array is smaller. These results are reference to the study of fiber laser coherent combination.

2015, 39(5): 717-722. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.05.028
Abstract:
In order to solve the problem that 2-D minimum error threshold segmentation (METS) method had poor segment robust performance on an image which presents skew distribution and heavy-tailed distribution, an improved 2-D METS method was proposed based on mean absolute deviation from the median. Considering that the median was a more robust estimator of gray level than the mean in 1-D histogram of skew distribution and heavy-tailed distribution, variance in 2-D METS was replaced by mean absolute deviation from the median. In order to improve the computational speed, a 2-D algorithm was decomposed into two 1-D algorithms. Experimental results show that, compared with 2-D Otsu method, 2-D METS method and other classical algorithms, the improved 2-D METS method based on mean absolute deviation has more accurate segmentation results and more robust performance for 1-D histogram with skew distribution and heavy-tailed distribution.

In order to study the phase characteristics of Laguerre-Gaussian vortex beam during propagation, the vortex beam was obtained by means of spiral phase plates. Based on Fresnel diffraction integral formula, the phase change of the beam in the propagation process and the stability of vortex beam phase singularities at integer order and fractional order were studied by theoretical derivation and numerical simulation. When the beam was transmitted a certain distance, phase contours of the light field on the observation plane became from diverging rays into petal-shaped arcs. The results show that if topological charge of the vortex beam is integer order, the phase singularity of the beam assumes stability in the propagation process. The phase singularity of fractional order is unstable, intensity distribution on the observation plane is obvious asymmetric and the central darkness gradually disappears. The research results supply theoretical foundation and practical guidance for the application of optical micro manipulation and information coding techniques.

Abstract:
In order to study the influence factors of output power of Cr,Tm,Ho:YAG lasers, the variation of laser pumped threshold and output power were obtained using the cooling of water temperature to change the controllable factor. The relationship among the cooling temperature, frequency and power was analyzed. The results show that laser threshold increases with the rise of temperature and frequency. The increase of cooling temperature and repetition frequency will result in the decrease of laser output efficiency. When repetition frequency is 20Hz, output power of laser reaches 10.1W, output power of fiber end is 7.3W and total coupling rate is 72%. With single pulse energy of 2.0J~2.5J and repeat frequency of 20Hz~25Hz, Cr,Tm,Ho:YAG laser can achieve the desired result of crushing human kidney stones.

Abstract:
In order to study influence of gradient-index medium on propagation property of complex variable sinh-Gaussian beam, propagation field of complex variable sinh-Gaussian beam in a gradient-index medium was deduced by means of generalized Huygens-Fresnel diffraction integral method. The expressions of spot size and its change rate were deduced by using the definitions of spatial second-order matrix. Then, the numerical stimulation and analysis were made. The results show that the spot size and its change rate changes with the increasing of propagation distance periodically and the periodical cycles are determined by gradient-index parameters. With the changing of beam parameters, the spot location and the periodical cycle are constant, but the oscillation amplitude of the spot size will change. The spot size and its location can be changed by adjusting these parameters. The study is helpful for development and application of high-power semiconductor lasers.
