Line-narrowed electro-optic periodically-poled-lithium-niobate Q-switched laser with intra-cavity optical parametric oscillation using a grazinff-incidenco, ~rnf.ina

We report a line-narrowed electro-optic periodically-poled-lithium-niobate （PPLN） Q-switched laser with intra-cavity optical parametric oscillation using a grazing-incidence grating, producing 8-ns, 5-#J pulses at 10-kHz repetition rate when pumped with a 10-W diode laser at 808 rim. The output wavelength is centered at 1554.3 nm with a 0.03-nm spectral width. Wavelength tuning is achieved by rotating a mirror and changing the crystal temperature.     

Three-dimensional ghost imaging based on periodic diffraction correlation imaging

We experimentally demonstrate a three-dimensional （3D） ghost imaging method based on period diffraction correlation imaging. Compared with conventional ghost imaging, our method can easily retrieve the images of different focal planes. Due to the correlation between the disturbed object beam and the reference beams which do not pass through any scattering, the clear images can be periodically obtained in the uncovered zones even through a scattering medium. The analysis of the 3D imaging resolution reveals that the proper resolution for actual demand can be achieved by designing our devices. The implementation of this experiment is quite simple and low-cost. It facilitates the practical applications of ghost imaging.     

Low-power-pumped high-efficiency frequency doubling at 397.5 nm in a ring cavity

We report low pump power high-efficiency frequency doubling of a fundamental laser beam at 795 nm, corresponding to the rubidium D1 line, to generate UV light at 397.5 nm using a periodically poled KTi OPO4（PPKTP） crystal in a ring cavity. We obtain maximum stable output power of 49 m W for mode-matching pump power of 110 m W, corresponding to 45% raw efficiency（56% net efficiency when considering the output coupling mirror’s 80% transmission）. This is the highest efficiency obtained at this wavelength in PPKTP with such low pump power. We obtain 80% beam coupling efficiency to single-mode fiber, demonstrating high beam quality.     

Motion of spiral tip driven by local forcing in excitable media

We study the motion of a spiral wave controlled by a local periodic forcing imposed on a region around the spiral tip in an excitable medium. Three types of trajectories of spiral tip are observed： the epicycloid-like meandering, the resonant drift, and the hypocycloid-like meandering. The frequency of the spiral is sensitive to the local periodic forcing. The dependency of spiral frequency on the amplitude and size of local periodic forcing are presented. In addition, we show how the drift speed and direction are adjusted by the amplitude and phase of local periodic forcing, which is consistent with a theoretical analysis based on the weak deformation approximation.

基于相位一致性的实时压缩跟踪方法

针对基于压缩感知的目标跟踪算法在跟踪过程中,光照剧烈变化引起跟踪不稳定或跟踪失败的问题,本文提出了一种基于相位一致性的改进跟踪方法.该方法利用相位一致性图像特征对光照变化不敏感的特点,首先对样本搜索区域内的图像进行相位一致性变换,然后再提取变换后相位一致性图像的特征,将其用于分类器中来确定目标位置.实验结果表明,该方法在目标受到光照剧烈变化影响的情况下具有很强的适应性,在目标大小为50pixel×55pixel时平均处理帧频可达22fps.与已有基于压缩感知跟踪算法相比,该算法在光照变化剧烈的情况下仍具有很好的鲁棒性,而且在目标尺度和纹理发生一定变化的情况下跟踪稳定.
