Optical Sensing Limits in Contact and Bending Mode Atomic Force Microscopy

Interferometry and optical deflection offers the best force sensing accuracy using standard cantilever probes in atomic force microscopy. Here, we examine the mechanics of cantilever deformation in the bending and contact mode and the optical sensing principles involved. Under typical conditions, the optical deflection method was found to require displacement measurements that were a thousand times less accurate in order to sense the same amount of force as compared with interferometry used in the regular mode. It also allowed better positioning tolerance for the probe beam in order to retain a high level of accuracy in force sensing. These and other attendant findings serve to provide a clearer outlook for the development of improved accuracy sensors in atomic force microscopy in the contact and bending mode.

Image registration guided,sparsity constrained reconstructions for dynamic MRI

It is generally a challenging task to reconstruct dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) images with high spatial and high temporal resolutions, especially with highly incomplete k-space sampling. In this work, a novel method that combines a non-rigid image registration technique with sparsity-constrained image reconstruction is introduced. Employing a multi-resolution free-form deformation technique with B-spline interpolations, the non-rigid image registration accurately models the complex deformations of the physiological dynamics, and provides artifact-suppressed high spatial-resolution predictions. Based on these prediction images, the sparsity-constrained data fidelity-enforced image reconstruction further improves the reconstruction accuracy. When compared with the k-t FOCUSS with motion estimation/motion compensation (MEMC) technique on volunteer scans, the proposed method consistently outperforms in both the spatial and the temporal accuracy with variously accelerated k-space sampling. High fidelity reconstructions for dynamic systolic phases with reduction factor of 10 and cardiac perfusion series with reduction factor of 3 are presented.

Aircraft recognition based on improved iterative threshold selection and skeleton Zernike moment

Using the visible optics images to identify targets is an important part in the development of remote sensing technology. In this paper, a new aircraft recognition method based on the improved iterative threshold selection and the skeleton Zernike moment is presented. The method segment aircraft targets under complex background using iterative threshold selection with between-class distance and scatter, and calculate the skeleton Zernike moment for the aircraft target recognition using template matching method. The experimental results show that the new method can effectively achieve the target segmentation under complex backgrounds, and provide a satisfactory performance both in recognition rate and recognition speed.     

Study on the bend characteristics of single mode-multimode-single mode optical fiber structure

In this paper, the bend characteristics of the single mode-multimode-single mode (SMS) fiber structure are experimentally investigated. SMS fiber structure is very sensitive to the bend. The central wavelength shifts to shorter wavelength with the increasing of fiber bend angle. The central wavelength shift changes with the changing of multimode fiber(MMF) bend section length. The shorter bend MMF has higher sensitivity to the bend angle.     

Theory and method for enhancing sensitivity of multi-gas sensing based on slow light photonic crystal waveguide

A novel harmonic detection theory and method for multi-component gas sensing based on photonic crystal waveguide (PCW) slow light is proposed. The PCW is used as gas chamber, and harmonic detection method was adopted for signal processing. This system could real-time and remote monitoring multi-component gases simultaneously with sensitivities increased by 10,278, 8650 and 6282 times respectively compared with system PCW not used. The proposed theory and method possesses powerful practicability and favorable application prospects. It could be also applied to other fluid concentration detection system, thus providing a new idea for expanding applications of slow light in sensing fields.     

Highly sensitive octagonal photonic crystal fiber based sensor

In this study, a number of propagation characteristics of hexagonal and octagonal photonic crystal fiber (H-PCF and O-PCF) structures, where both core and cladding are microstructured have been investigated by employing the full vectorial finite element method (FEM). The confinement loss, the effective refractive index and the relative sensitivity coefficient behaviors of the O-PCF and the standard H-PCF are numerically investigated and compared. It is found that under the same design parameters O-PCF structure has significantly lower losses and higher relative sensitivity coefficient compared with H-PCF structure.
