Detail enhancement is the key to the display of infrared image. For the infrared image detail enhancement algorithms, it is very important to present a good visual effect for people effectively. A novel algorithm for detail enhancement of infrared images is proposed in this paper. The method is based on the relativity of Gaussian-adaptive bilateral Filter. The algorithm consists of three steps. The first step is to divide the input image into the base layer and the detail layer by the relativity of Gaussian-adaptive bilateral filter. In the second step, the detail layer is multiplied by the proposed weight coefficient, and the base layer is processed by histogram projection. The third step is to combine the detail layer and the base layer processed in the second step and output it to the 8-bit domain display. Compare with other methods, the new algorithm reduces the running time greatly. The experimental results showed that the proposed algorithm improves the contrast of infrared images effectively.

The emission wavelength of an ultrafast laser generated by thulium (Tm)-doped fiber laser (TDFL) ranges from 1.7 to 2.1 μm, covering the water-absorbing band and atmospheric transmission window. In this study, an intelligent Tm-doped mode-locked fiber laser was experimentally demonstrated by combining a genetic algorithm (GA) with an adaptive mutation rate and a nonlinear polarization rotation mode-locked fiber oscillator. A closed-loop feedback system was set up in the experiment, including an oscilloscope, a laptop computer, an electric polarization controller, and a mode-locked fiber oscillator. Based on the aforementioned intelligent design of manual-operation-free, a stable femtosecond level noise-like-mode-locked pulse with an output power of 57.7 mW and a central wavelength of 1973 nm was automatically generated. The evolutionary dynamics of the different parameter structures of the GA-controlled ultrafast TDFL with varying mutation rates were also investigated. This study will pave the way for generating robust ultrafast lasers in the short-wave infrared region.

A novel scheme involving a three-dimensional (3D) coupling structure is used to build a laser diode (LD) module that utilizes the fiber angle space more completely. Compared with the traditional 2D configuration, the number of LD’s is increased by 4, obtaining an increased efficiency of over 90%. Another advantage is that some costly optical elements used in the traditional polarization combination method are not necessary.

Here we introduce electrostrictive hot-pressed lead magnesium niobate (PMN) with low lead titanate (PT) doping as a candidate transparent transducer material. We fabricate transparent high-frequency single-element transducers and characterize their optical, electrical, and acoustic properties. PMN-PT may offer sensitivity advantages over other transducer materials such as lithium niobate owing to its high electromechanical efficiency and bias-voltage sensitivity. The transparency of the fabricated transducer was measured ∼67% at 532 nm wavelength with a maximum electromechanical coefficient of ∼0.68 with a DC bias level of 100 V. The photoacoustic impulse response showed a center frequency of ∼27.6 MHz with a −6 dB bandwidth of ∼61% at a DC bias level of 40 V. Results demonstrate that the new transparent transducers hold promise for future optical-ultrasonic and photoacoustic imaging applications.
