Abstract:
Based on the phenomena of laser supported combustion or detonation wave induced by the interaction between the high-intensity laser and material,a new method is present for diagnosing the ignition threshold of laser supported detonation wave by measuring the jump of the sound peak pressure of laser-target plasma.The ignition threshold can be obtained by analyzing the jump stage between laser power density and the sound peak pressure of laser-target plasma,which generates on the surface of target due to interaction between Nd:YAG laser whose wavelength is 1064nm and aluminum target.The test results are largely in accord with those form other methods.The experiment result is helpful to understand the mechanism and process of the interaction between the laser and the matter.

In order to study the questions of micro-Doppler effect detection in a laser radar and the extraction of micro-Doppler features indicating target characteristics from radar returned signal,a physical model for micro-Doppler effect in laser radar was built up,then the simulation of the micro-Doppler effect in the laser radar induced by vibration of the target was conducted.Because of the signal is time-varying,joint time-frequency analysis method was introduced.Short time Fourier transform was used to analyze the simulated signal in the time-frequency domain,a micro-Doppler image that can demonstrate the target characteristics was generated.Results show that a laser radar is fit for the detection of low amplitude micro-Doppler effect,and micro-Doppler features can be extracted from radar returned signal effectively by means of timefrequency analysis method.

Abstract:
The holographic characteristics of the photopolymer dry film,which is based on acrylic acid and N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide as monomers,was studied by recording the transmission diffraction gratings and carrying out the digital holographic storage.Diffraction efficiency of above 40% and energetic sensitivities of 0.01cm2/mJ was obtained in photosensitive films of 180 μm thickness.The recorded gratings are homogenous without overmodulation and noise gratings.In the terms of the Bragg-mismatch,the thickness shrinkage of 1.7% was obtained with a bit-error rate of about 5.3×10-4.These results show the photopolymer is adaptive to the holographic storage.

The two-dimensional(2-D) photonic crystal with layered composite medium cylinder was proposed,and effect of the refraction indexes,thicknesses,layers and composition sequences on the transmittance of the 2-D photonic crystal composed of multilayered composite medium was studied by means of the finite-difference time-domain method.The numerical results show that the forbidden band width and the position of central frequency in 2-D photonic crystal with multilayered medium are different from those composed of single medium.Therefore,the adjustable factors for 2-D photonic crystal with multilayered medium are more than those with single medium in application and the above theory can be as a theoretical basis on 2-D photonic crystal design.

Abstract:
To improve the technology of modifying material properties by using laser induced shock waves,the properties of laser shock waves were studied.The piezoelectric waves were measured using a polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) piezoelectric gauge of a short rise time and a wide linear response range,together with an oscilloscope.Depending on the piezoelectric waves,laser-induced shock waves were measured.The laser-induced shock waves in the confinement geometry were analyzed and compared to that in the direct ablation regime.In the confined condition,the FWHM of laser-induced shock wave was three times that of laser and the peak pressure was much higher than that in the direct ablation regime.The average propagation velocity of the laser-induced shock wave in stainless steel was 5.72×103m/s.

Abstract:
Based on the transfer matrix method,the effects of the pump optical power,the distributed Bragger reflector(DBR) periods and the intensity of the input optical signal on the optical bandwidth characteristics of vertical cavity semiconductor optical amplifiers(VCSOAs) are simulated numerically.The computer model includes the longitudinal distribution of carrier and optical intensity and the influence of the ununiformity of the refractive index of the material inside the cavity on the propagation of the optical signal.The obtained results agree well with the conclusion of previous literatures.The results show that the enhancement of the pump level will increase the peak gain of VCSOAs and decrease the optical bandwidth simultaneously;reducing the DBR periods will induce larger optical gain bandwidth product.In addition,the intensity of input optical signal will obviously affect the range of the optical bandwidth of VCSOAs.

Abstract:
A simple cavity design for a pulsed Nd:YAG laser employed a 1mm-diameter laser rod pumped by a single laser diode module was reported.An experiment was performed to optimize the cavity design to obtain a laser output of 10W average power and a nearly diffraction-limited TEM00 mode.In this design,the small-diameter laser rod was used to eliminate the oscillation of high-order transverse modes,and a combination of a curved rear mirror and a negative lens placed inside the cavity was employed to compensate the thermal lens effect inside the laser rod.By experimentally optimizing the values of curvature of the rear mirror,the focal length of the negative lens,and the cavity spacing to maximize simultaneously the output power and the beam circularity,the pulsed Nd:YAG laser reached an average power of 10.8W,a beam circularity of 98.8%±0.8%,and M2 value of 1.1.The experimental results showed that in laser engineering the small-diameter laser rod could be used to improve the beam quality of high-power lasers.

Abstract:
The silica glass doped with Er3+ and Al3+ iones were synthesized through sol-gel process.The effect of Al3+ on luminescence properties of Er3+ was studied.The results show that the concentration of Er3+ in co-doped silica glass can be improved one time than Erdoped glass,and the intensity is 20 times than that of Al non-doped glass.We concluded that the relation between Al3+ and Er3+ is just not energy transfer,but is that Al3+ not only change the configuration of sample,but also disperse the Er3+,as a result,the odds of cross-relaxation is depressed.And find that Er3+ iones have only an up-conversion emission at 654nm using 980nm excitation.

Abstract:
Considering the difference between the real blood cells and their spheroid model for the scattering detection of cells,a model was presented to calculate the light scattering properties of nucleated cells which were mimicked by flat ellipsoid.The light-scattering characteristics were derived from the Rayleigh-Debye-Gans approximation and the volume polarizability.Results show that the model is superior to ball model.The model can reflect the true configuration of the blood cells more accurately.In addition,the simultaneous detection of the light-scatter intensities in the forward-scatter,lateral-scatter,and back-scatter directions can help us to distinguish the different cell types from heterogeneous population of blood cells.It can be well used in cell classification and research of cell transfiguration.

Both from experiments and theoretical analysis,the influenceof laser processing parameters on the case-depth and the hardness in laser quenching was studied.Under the condition of equal input laser energyand different laser power and scanning velocity,the variation of the case-depth and the hardness was measured.Measurement results show that the change of both the laser power and the scanning velocity can affect the case-depth and the hardness obviously and the change of laser power affects the case-depth more significantly.On the other hand,the change of either the laser power or the scanning velocity has a little influence on the hardness.Correspondingly,the change of the scanning velocity has a little more influence on the hardness.By means of analytical simulation of the temperature distribution and the heating/cooling rates under the laser scanning,reasonable explanation for the results was put forward.

Abstract:
Atmospheric propagation delay is one of the main error sources for geodetic measurement.Its correction is necessary for accurate measurements.Atmospheric delay depends on many atmosphere parameters,especially atmosphere density,pressure,temperature,etc.Atmosphere parameter distribution changes with elevation angles,and so does the atmospheric delay.The total delay can be calculated from the zenith delay.The theoretic formula of the zenith delay is deduced,and a simplified mapping function for large elevation angles is proposed and compared with Mendes' new continued fraction form.The difference is less than 0.1mm for the total delay.Lastely,the system's mean total delay and its error is solved on the basis of geoscience laser altimeter system(GLAS) observation data in Antarctica,the results are 2.35m and 12mm respectively.

In order to study the mode and the phase characteristic of laser in an unstable resonator with Gaussian reflectivity mirrors,a finite element method is presented to numerically calculate mode-fields of the spherical plano-convex unstable resonator with Gaussian reflectivity mirrors,which is based on the canonical formulation of SIEGMAN's theory for analyzing multi-element unstable resonators.The round-trip cylindrical Huygen's integral is expressed for the resonator in terms of spherical resonator analysis and ABCDM matrix.The Huygen's integral is transformed to a finite sum format by dividing the output mirror into several width-equal circles.The eigenmode and phase result of self-reproduce field of perfect empty resonator and misalignment empty resonator are obtained via numerical calculation.The calculation result indicates that when the radius and Gaussian reflectivity of output mirror are appropriately selected,the fundamental mode distribution of Gaussian beam which has a spot radius of 0.3cm can be obtained.The calculation result accords with the experiment result.Simultaneously the influence of the output mirror on the beam quality is also discussed.

Abstract:
Based on a 3-D transient thermal model with inhomogeneous heat generation,the temperature and thermal stress distribution in the disk of heat capacity laser pumped by high power laser diode array(LDA) are simulated and analyzed by means of finite element methods.The results indicate that for the same pump intensity,the temperature and thermal stress distribution in the disk are not only related with the medium's geometry and the special distribution of pump intensity but also related with the fill factor of pump area.When the fill factor is less than 1,the concentrated tensile stress appeares near edge of disk surface,while the fill factor reaches up to 1,the surface exhibites compressive stress,and the center is less tensile stress.

Abstract:
In order to improve the technology in atmosphere detection and explore new,faster,and more accurate methods to retrieve atmosphere visibility,the atmosphere visibility was simultaneously measured in Qingdao with a micro-pulsed lidar,designed by Ocean Remote Sensing Laboratory,Ocean University of China,and a NQ-1 commercial visibility meter respectively.The results indicate both has a high correlation coefficient up to 0.88 when the visibility is poor or moderate and the their correlation coefficients are above 0.73 in good visibility conditions,which indicates it is feasible for micro-pulsed lidars to measure the visibility.

Abstract:
In order to study propagation properties of hollow beams through a paraxial optical ABCD system with a hard-edged circle aperture and a lens,the expressions for the propagation of hollow Gaussian beams through such a system are derived based on the Collins diffraction integral.The effects of an aperture,a lens and an aperture-lens system on the propagation properties of hollow Gaussian beams are studied and illustrated with numerical examples,which shows that both aperture and lens can shift the field of hollow Gaussian beams towards the source plane.It is also found that hollowness of the beam will be destroyed by the aperture,but not by the lens.The results of this study play a guiding role in the generation and application of hollow beams.

Abstract:
In order to break through the choke point of the traditional design of a telephoto lens,how to eliminate aberrance by means of hybrid refraction-diffraction was studied from the view of the phase polynomial of diffractive surface and phase transformation polynomial of general lens.The telephoto lens system consisted of only two pieces of optical elements made of FK1 glass has an equivalent optical performance to the traditional telephoto lens system made of five pieces of optical elements made of defferent kinds of glass.Which shows that the hybrid refractive-diffractive lens can effectively eliminate the aberrance of a telephoto lens with lower weight and simple structure.

Abstract:
In order to get the depolarization performance of a dualistic birefringent crystal,the performance of white light through it with different optical axis angles and thicknesses was dicussed.A the performance of the single crystal depolarizer and the Lyot depolarizer was proved through experiments.Some conclusions are drawn as follows:there are some indirect impacts on polarization with different optical axis angles;the thickness has a vital impact on polarization;the ratio of the thickness has a direct impact on polarization.These conclusions can give theoretic analysis and reference to the design and application of the depolarizers.

Abstract:
The collapse behavior of Langmuir waves excited by laser near critical surface is numerically studied.On the basis of Zakharov equations in frame of strong turbulence,it is shown that Langmuir waves excited by transverse pumping plasmons near critical surface may collapse,leading to the formation of density cavity due to ponderomotive force.The interaction will lead to tendency of an equilibration of energy over both of transverse and Langmuir plasmons with the same frequencies near ωp,which is agreement with our numerical analysis.The value of width of the density cavity estimated is similar to the experimental result.
