Three-step self-calibrating generalized phase-shifting interferometry

An accurate and fast three-step self-calibrating generalized phase-shifting interferomertry(SGPSI) is proposed. In this approach, two new phase-shifting signals are constructed by the difference interferograms normalization and noise suppressing, then the unknown phase shift between the two difference phase-shifting signals is estimated quickly through searching the minimum coefficient of variation of the modulation amplitude, a limited number of pixels are selected to participate in the search process to further save time, and finally the phase is reconstructed through the searched phase shift. Through the reconstruction of phase map by the simulation and experiment, and the comparison with several mature algorithms, the good performance of the proposed algorithm is proved, and it eliminates the limitation of requiring more than three phase-shifting interferograms for high-precision SGPSI. We expect this method to be widely used in the future.

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer transmitting architecture based on asynchronous space-time-coding digital metasurface[Invited]

Simultaneous wireless information and power transfer(SWIPT)architecture is commonly applied in wireless sensors or Internet of Things(IoT)devices,providing both wireless power sources and communication channels.However,the traditional SWIPT transmitter usually suffers from cross-talk distortion caused by the high peak-to-average power ratio of the input signal and the reduction of power amplifier efficiency.This paper proposes a SWIPT transmitting architecture based on an asynchronous space-time-coding digital metasurface(ASTCM).High-efficiency simultaneous transfer of information and power is achieved via energy distribution and information processing of the wireless monophonic signal reflected from the metasurface.We demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method through theoretical derivations and experimental verification,which is therefore believed to have great potential in wireless communications and the IoT devices.

A new phase-shifted long-period fiber grating for simultaneous measurement of torsion and temperature

A novel phase-shifted long-period fiber grating(PS-LPFG)for the simultaneous measurement of torsion and temperature is described and experimentally demonstrated.The PS-LPFG is fabricated by inserting a pretwisted structure into the long-period fiber grating(LPFG)written in single-mode fiber(SMF).Experimental results show that the torsion sensitivities of the two dips are?0.114 nm/(rad/m)and?0.069 nm/(rad/m)in the clockwise direction,and?0.087 nm/(rad/m)and?0.048 nm/(rad/m)in the counterclockwise direction,respectively.The temperature sensitivities of the two dips are 0.057 nm/℃ and 0.051 nm/℃,respectively.The two dips of the PS-LPFG exhibit different responses to torsion and temperature.Simultaneous measurement of torsion and temperature can be implemented using a sensor.The feasibility and stabilization of simultaneous torsion and temperature measurement have been confirmed,and hence this novel PS-LPFG demonstrates potential for fiber sensing and engineering applications.

基于统计分析方法的同步移相干涉图位置配准

使用同步移相干涉仪重建波前相位时,需要对移相干涉图进行准确的位置配准和目标区域确定以保证重建精度和相位解缠绕算法的成功实施。提出一种基于统计分析方法的圆形域同步移相干涉图位置配准技术,对一组包含不同相位分布的干涉图按照对应像素位置进行方差分布函数计算;利用最大组间方差法完成阈值分割,从而分离出干涉图像的背景与目标区域,通过梯度运算检测出目标区域的轮廓;利用改进Hough变换算法估计出各个轮廓的绝对位置和半径参数。数值仿真结果表明,当轮廓半径大于64pixel时,该方法的配准精度可以达到0.5pixel。通过建立自参考同步移相干涉仪对该方法的可靠性与实用性进行实验验证。
