基于主成分分析法的高性能波长计研究与实现

波长探测作为科学技术中的一个基本工具,在分析化学、生物传感和光学通信等众多领域具有重要作用。从多模光纤信号传输理论出发,在绝热、准直模型中建立基于模式干涉效应的强度干涉图像理论;实验测量时,在光纤尾端引入缓变（斜率约为0.01）锥形区域设计,保证收集到侧面辐射信号的同时,也近似满足理论模型和数值仿真结果。在搭建的显微共焦成像系统中,连续扫描窄带激光器进行干涉图像存储,经过区域选取、向量拼接以及奇异值分解等步骤得到由器件特性决定的校样矩阵。波长的探测过程共分为两个步骤：在工作带宽内纳米量级粗略扫描光波长得到粗略校准矩阵,一维待测信号强度图像与之进行内积相关性运算后,选取数值最高的波长值作为预估波长单元;在此基础上精细扫描得到精细校样矩阵,选取三个最大主成分并定义与波长欧氏距离最小值确定最终探测波长。采用内积相关性运算联合主成分分析法不仅可以将波长探测分辨率提高到20 pm、准确率达到96.7%,探测效率较其他光谱重建算法提高50倍。实验证实该波长计工作范围至少为400～700 nm,器件尺寸仅为π×(20 μm)2×0.5 mm。该器件在高性能、便携式和低成本方面较同类器件有较大提升,在光谱重建效率也集成了高效算法,能够广泛应用于光纤传输系统的波长实时探测。

Reconstruction of the first-derivative EPR spectrum from multiple harmonics of the field-modulated continuous wave signal

Selection of the amplitude of magnetic field modulation for continuous wave electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) often is a trade-off between sensitivity and resolution. Increasing the modulation amplitude improves the signal-to-noise ratio, S/N, at the expense of broadening the signal. Combining information from multiple harmonics of the field-modulated signal is proposed as a method to obtain the first derivative spectrum with minimal broadening and improved signal-to-noise. The harmonics are obtained by digital phase-sensitive detection of the signal at the modulation frequency and its integer multiples. Reconstruction of the first-derivative EPR line is done in the Fourier conjugate domain where each harmonic can be represented as the product of the Fourier transform of the 1st derivative signal with an analytical function. The analytical function for each harmonic can be viewed as a filter. The Fourier transform of the 1st derivative spectrum can be calculated from all available harmonics by solving an optimization problem with the goal of maximizing the S/N. Inverse Fourier transformation of the result produces the 1st derivative EPR line in the magnetic field domain. The use of modulation amplitude greater than linewidth improves the S/N, but does not broaden the reconstructed spectrum. The method works for an arbitrary EPR line shape, but is limited to the case when magnetization instantaneously follows the modulation field, which is known as the adiabatic approximation.     

Modulation space estimates for the fractional integral operators

We obtain the boundedness for the fractional integral operators from the modulation Hardy space μp,q to the modulation Hardy space μr,q for all 0 < p < ∞. The result is an extension of the known result for the case 1 < p < ∞ and it contains a larger range of r than those in the classical result of the Lp → Lr boundedness in the Lebesgue spaces. We also obtain some estimates on the modulation spaces for the bilinear fractional operators.     

Single molecule FRET detection in CdSe-QD donor and Cy5-labeled molecular chaperone acceptor complex by imaging microscopy

We report single molecule spectroscopic evidence of FRET in CdSe quantum dot (QD) conjugated with Cy5-labeled molecular chaperone systems in buffer solutions. Donor QDs are core-shell type nanocrystals covered with organic surfactants on their outermost surfaces, i.e. CdSe/ZnS/TOPO’s. As prototype molecular chaperones, we adopt prefoldins (PFDs), on which Cy5’s are labeled as acceptors. Donor QDs possess two-fold degenerate emission dipoles perpendicular to the c-axis, due to their Wurtzite crystal structures, while acceptor Cy5’s possess linear absorption and emission dipoles. Thus, their combination provides novel features to those in conventional FRET systems. PFDs are jellyfish-shaped hexameric co-chaperones of group II chaperonins, which recognize hydrophobic portions of denatured proteins and encapsulate them within their central cavities. Hence, PFDs will also capture the CdSe/ZnS/TOPO QDs due to its surface similarity to the denatured proteins. By introducing simple microscope setup for single QD-PFD-Cy5 spectroscopy, we have successfully captured the emission spectra in FRET regime. We also have observed peculiar features in time evolution profiles of single QD emissions conjugated with Cy5-labeled PFDs under polarization modulation measurements. Notable point of our hybrid conjugates is that they are biochemically in living action. We describe our present results in relation to possible protein reactions.     

Optical beamforming networks employing phase modulation and direct detection

We propose a novel dispersion-based optical beamforming network scheme employing phase modulation and direct detection. Optical phase modulators have the advantages of simple-structure, low loss and absence of bias. Dispersion-induced phase-to-intensity conversion is utilized to facilitate direct detection. A structure of wideband dispersive device (WDD) cascaded with periodic dispersive device (PDD) is introduced to enhance the system flexibility, so that the delay adjustability and RF response can be properly designed respectively by choosing appropriate dispersions of the WDD and PDD. A concept-proof system with a wideband chirped fiber grating (CFG) as the WDD and two multiband CFGs (MCFG1 and MCFG2) as the PDD separately is built to demonstrate the basic idea. The delay tuning range is 0-1.8 ns with increment of 164.2 ps. The passband center is 30 GHz for MCFG1 and 20 GHz for MCFG2, and the fractional bandwidth is 51.8%. The shot-noise-limited spurious-free dynamic range is also analyzed and measured to be 105.7 dB ⋅ Hz^2/3 when the average photocurrent is 2.7 mA.     

Full investigation of the backscattering in resonator fiber optic gyro

Resonator Fiber optic gyro (RFOG) is a high accuracy inertial rotation sensor based on the Sagnac effect. The optical fiber ring resonator (OFRR) is the key rotation sensing element. The backscattering characteristics of the OFRR are fully investigated. The Rayleigh backscattering dominates the backscattering spectrum with the input power below the threshold. High carrier suppression is crucial to reduce this Rayleigh backscattering error. Being different from the intrinsic Rayleigh scattering of the fiber, the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in the OFRR should be avoided. This is because the finesse and the resonance notch depth of the OFRR decrease for the pump depletion through the SBS process. The shot noise limited sensitivity (SLS) of the RFOG is improved by increasing the input power. Through analysis, it is found that the threshold input power is improved after phase modulation. The SLS of the RFOG is analyzed at different modulation parameters and its relevant SBS threshold. Accordingly, the optimized modulation frequency and the corresponding maximum input power are all obtained. A simple method of testing the frequency shift in the SBS is also proposed. In this method, the central frequency of the laser source is locked to the resonance frequency of the OFRR in one direction. A steady SBS light is observed and its frequency shift is measured together.     

Bidirectional WDM-PON architecture using a reflective filter and cyclic AWG

We proposed and demonstrated a bidirectional SCM-WDM PON using a reflective filter and cyclic AWG where up/downlink data could be provided using a single optical source. In the proposed scheme, the signal for downstream was modulated by a single CW laser diode and remodulated in the optical network unit as an upstream, the proposed WDM-PON scheme can offer the SCM signal for broadcasting service. In this paper, 1 Gb/s signals both for up- and downstream were demonstrated in 10 km bidirectional optical fiber link.
