Ultra-low power anti-crosstalk collision avoidance light detection and ranging using chaotic pulse position modulation approach

A novel concept of collision avoidance single-photon light detection and ranging(LIDAR) for vehicles has been demonstrated, in which chaotic pulse position modulation is applied on the transmitted laser pulses for robust anti-crosstalk purposes. Besides, single-photon detectors(SPD) and time correlated single photon counting techniques are adapted, to sense the ultra-low power used for the consideration of compact structure and eye safety. Parameters including pulse rate, discrimination threshold, and number of accumulated pulses have been thoroughly analyzed based on the detection requirements, resulting in specified receiver operating characteristics curves. Both simulation and indoor experiments were performed to verify the excellent anti-crosstalk capability of the presented collision avoidance LIDAR despite ultra-low transmitting power.     

Observation of spectral modulation coupled with broadband transverse-mode-locking in an Yb:CALGO frequency-degenerate cavity

A frequency-degenerate cavity(FDC) is the resonator that the ratio of transverse and longitudinal mode frequency spacings is a simple rational number. When an optical resonator is close to the FDC, transverse-mode-locking(TML) takes place with drastic changes of laser mode. We report for the first time, to the best of our knowledge,the multi-frequency emission and spectral modulation effects coupled with TML in FDC. The Yb:CaGdAlO_4(Yb:CALGO) crystal with large gain bandwidth was used as a gain medium in an off-axis-pumped hemispherical FDC for realizing broadband emission. Interestingly, the spectrum can transform from a single smooth packet shape to a multi-peak structure; meanwhile, the transverse pattern accordingly transforms into some exotic wave-packet profiles through controlling off-axis displacement in a special degenerate state.     

Dependence of curvature type of thermal lensing on number of bounces in a zigzag slab laser: numerical modeling

The curvature type of the thermal lens generated in a zigzag slab laser is numerically analysed. It is found that the curvature type of the thermal lens varies alternatively between the convex and the concave lenses with the number of bounces of light within the slab, which can be well explained by the trace of the zigzag propagation. In addition, we conclude that the beamlet with a larger number of bounces experiences weaker thermal lensing but more serious wavefront deformation due to the large side lobe portion in the curve of optical path difference.     

面向时序感知的多类别商品方面情感分析推荐模型

电子商务网站中的评论数据隐含着商品特征和用户情感,现有基于方面情感分析的推荐研究大多通过抽取同一类别商品评论数据中用户对商品不同方面的情感来捕捉用户方面偏好,忽略了不同类别商品有不同方面以及用户的方面偏好随时间变化的特点。对此,该文提出一种面向时序感知的多类别商品方面情感分析推荐模型,该模型对用户、商品类别、商品、商品方面、方面情感和时间统一建模,以发现用户对不同类别商品的方面偏好随时间变化的特点,并据此做出推荐。该模型能够推断用户在任意时间对商品的方面偏好,从而为用户提供可解释的推荐。两个真实数据集的实验结果表明,与其它基于时间或方面情感分析的推荐模型相比,该文提出的模型在top-N推荐准确率和召回率评价指标上均获得显著改善。
