The high-frequency dielectric constant, the latticedielectric constant and the electronic polarizability were determined by the free carriers and the lattice vibrationmodes. The real dielectric constant (?)1, the dielectric loss tangent (tanδ), the volume (VELF) and the surface energyloss function (SELF) have also been discussed.

Measurement of Optical Fiber Geometry Parameters with Bessel Function Fitting Method

Geometry parameters of optical fiber are crucial in evaluating the quality of the optical fiber.Near⁃field light distribution method is recommended in GB15972.20-2008 for the measurement of geometry parameters.To distinguish the boundary between fiber core and cladding,it is necessary to illuminate the fiber.The end face of the core is a bright spot with unclear edge,so the true edge of the core and the cladding cannot be accurately judged.A method is proposed in this paper to measure the geometry parameters of optical fiber by Bessel function fitting.Theoretically,the solution to the electromagnetic vector of mode field satisfies Bessel function,and the boundary between the core and the cladding can be precisely extracted by Bessel function fitting.Edges of the fiber were fitted by elliptical curves,and the geometry parameters of the fibers could be calculated.Results show that the maximum deviations of the diameters and the average differences of the fibers were decreased under normal and abnormal conditions respectively.The proposed method is an efficient way to obtain edge data and can improve the accuracy and stability of geometry parameters of optical fibers.

Terahertz Spectroscopic Study of Standard Substances for Bituminous Coal and Anthracite

This study underscores the significance of online monitoring of standard substances for bituminous coal and anthracite,two commonly used fossil fuels.Terahertz technology emerges as a powerful non-destructive detection method capable of revealing the physical and chemical properties of measured objects.In this research,terahertz time-domain spectroscopy technology was employed to investigate the spectral characteristics of four distinct types of bituminous coal and anthracite samples.The refractive index and absorption coefficient spectra of these samples were calculated across a frequency range of 0.5 THz to 2.5 THz.Furthermore,principal component analysis was conducted using all refractive index and absorption coefficient data within this frequency band.Through the analysis and comparison with known parameters of coal standard materials,it was established that carbon content primarily influences the refractive index of bituminous coal and anthracite,while ash content predominantly affects the absorption effect.These findings underscore the potential of terahertz spectroscopy in conjunction with principal component analysis to qualitatively assess the similarities and differences between coal samples,thus offering novel insights for the online monitoring of diverse coal types and qualities.

Perfect photon absorption based on the optical parametric process

The perfect photon absorption is studied in a cavity quantum electrodynamics(CQED) system, in which an optical parameter amplifier(OPA) is coupled to the cavity mode. This makes it possible to control the optical phase to realize the perfect photon absorption. It is found that in the presence of one and two injected fields, the perfect photon absorption is present in these two cases and can be controlled by adjusting the parametric phase. Moreover, different from the previous predictions of perfect photon absorption in atomic CQED systems, the perfect photon absorption can be changed significantly by the relative phase. Our work provides a new platform to use the parametric processes to make an available way to control the behaviors of photons and to take advantage of the optical phase to achieve the perfect photon absorption.

An investigation on the magneto-optic properties of terbium gallium garnet under high magnetic field

This paper reports that a series of Nd3＋：Er3＋：yb3＋ co-doped borosilicate glasses have been prepared and their absorption spectra measured. The J-O intensity parameters Ωk （k = 2, 4, 6）, spontaneous radiative lifetime Trad, spontaneous transition probability A, fluorescence branching ratio β and oscillator strength fed of the Nd3＋ ions at room temperature are calculated based on Judd-Ofelt （J-O） theory. The temperature dependence of the up-conversion photoluminescence characteristics in a Nd3＋：Er3＋：Yb3＋ co-doped sample is studied under a 978 nm semiconductor laser excitation, and the energy transfer mechanisms among Yb3＋, Er3＋ and Nd3＋ ions are analysed. The results show that the J-O intensity parameters Ω2 increase when the Nd3＋ concentration of the Nd3＋：Er3＋：yb3＋ co-doped borosilicate glasses increases. The possibility of spontaneous transition is small and lifetimes are long at levels of 4F5/2 and 4F3/2. The intensity of Nd3＋ emissions at 595, 691, 753, 813 and 887 nm axe markedly enhanced when the sample temperature exceeds 400 K. The reasons being the cooperation of the secondary sensitization from Era＋ to Nd3＋ and the contribution of a multi-phonon.

Research on the relationship between reduced scattering coefficient and intracranial pressure in brain edema model

Intracranial hypertension is a serious threat to the health of neurosurgical patients.At present,there is a lack of a safe and e®ective technology to monitor intracranial pressure(ICP)accurately and nondestructively.In this paper,based on near infrared technology,the continuous nonde-structive monitoring of ICP change caused by brain edema was studied.The rat brain edema models were constructed by lipopolysaccharide.The ICP monitor and the self-made near infrared tissue parameter measuring instrument were used to monitor the invasive intracranial pressure and the reduced scattering coe±cient of brain tissue during the brain edema development.The results showed that there was a negative correlation between the reduced scattering coe±cient(690nm and 834nm)and ICP,and then the mathematical model was established.The experimental results promoted the development of nondestructive ICP monitoring based on near infrared technology.

Creation of radially polarized optical fields with multiple controllable parameters using a vectorial optical field generator

A vectorial optical field generator(VOF-Gen) based on two reflective phase-only liquid crystal spatial light modulators enables the creation of an arbitrary optical complex field. In this work, the capabilities of the VOF-Gen in terms of manipulating the spatial distributions of phase, amplitude, and polarization are experimentally demonstrated by generating a radially polarized optical field consisted of five annular rings, the focusing properties of which are also numerically studied with vectorial diffraction theory. By carefully adjusting the relative amplitude and phase between the adjacent rings, an optical needle field with purely longitudinal polarization can be produced in the focal region of a high numerical aperture lens. The versatile method presented in this work can be easily extended to the generation of a vectorial optical field with any desired complex distributions.

Diagnostic capability of Fourier-Domain optical coherence tomography in early primary open angle glaucoma

Background Optical coherence tomography （OCT） is a high resolution noncontact imaging modality which can quantitatively detect the optic disc and retinal structure.This study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic capability of parameters of the optic disc, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, and ganglion cell complex （GCC） using a new technology called Fourier-domain OCT （FD-OCT） for early primary open angle glaucoma （POAG） patients.Methods Two groups of patients, early perimetric damage POAG and normal subjects were included in this observational cross-sectional study.All patients underwent FD-OCT and visual field examination in addition to full ophthalmic examinations.Receiver operating characteristic curves （ROC） were studied for all parameters.The sensitivity and specificity for distinguishing between normal and early glaucomatous eyes, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves （AROC） and positive, negative likelihood ratios were evaluated for all the single parameters and selected combined parameters using arbitrary cutoffs.Results Thirty-four eyes of 34 early POAG patients and 42 eyes of 42 normal subjects were analyzed.Cup/disc （C/D）vertical ratio presented the best sensitivity and positive likelihood ratio for selected specificities （95% and 85%） which were 79.4% and 88.2%, 33.4 and 7.4, respectively.Among all single parameters, the C/D vertical ratio demonstrated the highest AROC which was at 0.930.The average thickness of circumpapillary RNFL on 3.45 mm showed the highest AROC among all of the peripapillary RNFL parameters.The sensitivity at selected specificity and AROC of GCC were not as high as C/D vertical ratio and RNFL AT on 3.45 mm.When the C/D vertical ratio, RNFL AT on 3.45 mm, and rim area were combined using a logistical diagnostic model, the AROC was raised to 0.949 but not significantly different from the top single parameter, C/D vertical ratio.Conclusions The key parameters obtained by FD-OCT were able to show the significant differences of optic discs,thickness of RNFL and GCC between POAG patients and normal subjects.According to sensitivity, specificity, likelihood ratio and AROC, the top three parameters from FD-OCT for early diagnosis of POAG were C/D vertical ratio, RNFL AT on 3.45 mm, and the rim area.

Real-time measurement of atmospheric parameters for the 127-element adaptive optics system of 1.8-m telescope

A real-time method for measuring atmospheric parameters based on co-processor field-programmable gate array （FPGA） and main processor digital signal processing （DSP） is proposed for ground-based telescopes with adaptive optics （AO） systems. Coherence length, outer scale, average wind speed, and coherence time are estimated according to closed-loop data on the residual slopes and the corrected voltages of AO systems. This letter introduces the principle and architecture design of the proposed method, which is successfully applied in the 127-element AO system of the 1.8-m telescope of Yunnan Astronomical Observatory. The method enables real-time atmospheric observations with the same object and path of the AO system. This method is also applicable to extended objects.

MIA analysis of FPGA BPMs and beam optics at APS

Model independent analysis, which was developed for high precision and fast beam dynamics analysis, is a promising diagnostic tool for modern accelerators. We implemented a series of methods to analyze the turn-by-turn BPM data. Green＇s functions corresponding to the local transfer matrix elements R12 or R34 are extracted from BPM data and fitted with the model lattice using least-square fitting. Here, we report experimental results obtained from analyzing the transverse motion of a beam in the storage ring at the Advanced Photon Source. BPM gains and uncoupled optics parameters are successfully determined. Quadrupole strengths are adjusted for fitting but can not be uniquely determined in general due to an insufficient number of BPMs.
