ABSTRACT To efficiently preserve texture and target information in source images, an image fusion algorithm of Regional Fusion Factor-Based Union Gradient and Contrast Generative Adversarial Network (R2F-UGCGAN) is proposed. Firstly, an adaptive gradient diffusion (AGD) decomposition algorithm is designed to extract representative features. A pair of infrared (IR) and visible (VIS) images are decomposed by AGD to obtain low-frequency components with salient targets and high-frequency components with rich edge gradient information. Secondly, In the high-frequency components, principal component analysis (PCA) is used for fusion to obtain more detailed images with texture gradients. R2F-UGCGAN is used to fuse the low-frequency components, which can effectively ensure good consistency between the target region and the background region. Therefore, a fused image is produced, which inherits more thermal radiation information and important texture details. Finally, subjective and objective comparison experiments are performed on TNO and RoadScene datasets with state-of-the-art image fusion methods. The experimental results of R2F-UGCGAN are prominent and consistent compared to these fusion algorithms in terms of both subjective and objective evaluation.

ABSTRACT Inspired by the unique internal structures with inherent anisotropy in biological tissues and their dynamic scattering characteristic, a simple and easy-to-fabricate optical encryption technique using structural uncorrelated characteristics of biological tissues was proposed. It can generate unique keys with the random characteristics of the tissues and transforms multiple image plaintexts into speckle-like ciphertexts. The optical encryptions of grayscale images are demonstrated utilizing the uncorrelated characteristics of shallot and chicken breast respectively. Ciphertext-only-attack is resisted by phase retrieval due to the inherent dynamic randomness of biological tissues and the complexity of the plaintexts. Besides, once the unique PSF keys is recorded by the optical setup, the encryption can be accomplished, either online using the setup, or offline through performing convolutions on the plaintexts with pre-recorded uncorrelated PSFs to yield ciphertexts. Therefore, it is very secure, simple, and flexible to guarantee the promising potentials for information encryption of grayscale images and/or videos.

ABSTRACT The study presents the off-the-axis theory of the moiré patterns in a double-layered (coaxial) cylinder. The theory is based on the projected period and confirmed by the experiments with two devices. The results can be applied to moiré measurements, nanoparticles, and visual displays, particularly, to minimization of the moiré effect in curved/flexible displays (including 3D autostereoscopic displays).

ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel reconstruction method based on multi-refraction to remedy the non-linear refraction, which recovers 3D geometry from 2D images. To simplify calibration, this paper prove that air calibration can replace underwater calibration. Finally, a multi-line rotating structured is designed to improve the measurement efficiency without additional equipment. The results of the clean water experiment show that the measurement accuracy is 1.91 mm within the 1000–2000 mm depth of field. The qualitative analysis demonstrates our method can reconstruct the surface topography of underwater U and N letter boards. In different Nephelometric Turbidity Unit (NTU) (as NTU = 0.156 mg/ml) environment, a circular plate with a diameter of 220 mm is measured, the shape reconstruction error (whether the reconstructed shape is a circular, square, or other) is 1.74 mm; the diameter measurement result is 218 mm, so the size error of the circular plate is 2 mm.

ABSTRACT We report a Gamma-corrected, SNR-enhanced and sharpness-projection-based reconstruction approach for digital particle holography. In this approach, we mitigate the artefacts from off-focal planes by capturing three holograms with various illumination angles, and extract particle information by applying image processing to a high-quality maximum – sharpness-projection (MSP) image. This approach reinforces weak edges using a Gamma correction procedure, and segments particles from the MSP image by using a new hybrid threshold, which comprises both local and global features. Experimental results for nonspherical particles show that the reported approach can provide a high-quality MSP image, being less likely than the conventional method to be fooled by noise and more likely to retain particle features. The hybrid threshold helps in retaining fine features, separating neighbouring particles and differentiating particles from the background. For the large particles (>20 pixels), the diameter error is generally less than 10% while using the proposed automatic hybrid thresholding technique.

Diffraction of a spherical wave through various types of 2D aperiodic hollow masks is investigated computationally. Unlike a periodic transmissive grating, an aperiodic hollow mask can focus light into a hotspot with sub-wavelength diameter. In this work, several types of 2D aperiodic hollow masks are investigated in the framework of sub-diffraction focusing of light and generating superoscillations at the hotspot region.

In underwater turbulent medium, field correlations are found when the incidence is a laser beam array. Variations of the field correlations against the variations in the ring radius of laser array beam, number of beamlets composing the laser array, source size, underwater turbulence parameters, i.e. the ratio of temperature to salinity contributions to the refractive index spectrum, rate of dissipation of mean-squared temperature and rate of dissipation of kinetic energy per unit mass of fluid, are investigated. Field correlations of laser arrays are found to be larger than the field correlations of the single beams. The effect of underwater turbulence is to reduce the field correlation of laser arrays.

We report, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, a technique that employs ′cross-coupling structure’ in the cascaded microring resonators (MRRs) to bring new optical analogues of quantum coherence phenomena. The new configuration resembles a standard double resonator (SDR) but uses cross-coupled–based directional couplers (DCs) instead of the typical direct-coupled–based DCs. One of its unique features is that it does not exhibit the typical SDR’s signature quantum coherence analogue effects like coupled-resonator induced transparency (CRIT) or coupled-resonator induced absorption (CRIA). On the contrary, it produces a new very narrow reflection dip positioned at single-pass phase shift θ = − π/2 which we refer to as cross-coupled resonator induced shifted absorption (CRISA). We compare extensively CRISA’s characteristics with the CRIT, CRIA, and Autler-Townes splitting (ATS) found in SDR. The technique opens up new configurations with richer optical behaviours that could find potentially still unexplored applications.

The demand for optical communication technology increases rapidly, and the frequency encoded data-based communication establishes an important place in optical communication technology because of the constancy and transparency of the frequency encoded data throughout the communication network. In this article, the authors have proposed a new method of developing an all-optical programmable array logic unit deploying semiconductor optical amplifier-based polarization switches with an attractive frequency-based data encoding technique. The authors have first developed some fundamental all-optical logic gates exploiting the polarization-based switching action of semiconductor optical amplifiers, and successively developed a method to design a programmable array logic unit using the fundamental logic arrays. This unit can be deployed to execute 16 different types of logic operations only by changing the frequency of the control signals. The simulation-aided result increases the practicability of the proposed circuit design.

ABSTRACT In this research work, a theoretical approach has been adopted to study GaAs-based InAlAs/InGaAs/GaAsSb type-II heterostructures. The 6 × 6 k·p Hamiltonian matrix with self-consistent calculations has been carried out to calculate the wavefunctions, localization of the charge carriers (probability density of charge carriers) and their dispersed energy states (Discrete energy level) under variable quantum well width and external strain of the double quantum well heterostructure. Bulk band structures of InAlAs/GaA for different aluminium compositions have been reported. The quantum well size and external strain effect on optical gain have also been explored. Computational analysis showed the generated light has a 1.93 μm NIR lasing wavelength. At 12 GPa, optical gain reaches 7450 cm−1 and wavelength 1.93 μm. Peak gain is 5931 cm−1 for 2 nm well width. The developed type-II structure can be employed in a semiconductor laser diode operating in the NIR range as per the observed results.
