In order to make the circular foil heat flux sensor meet the growing demand for dynamic heat flux monitoring in extreme environments such as hypersonic wind tunnels, a dynamic calibration platform with a high-power semiconductor laser as heat flux source is built. Combining Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and experiments to carry out relevant studies. Our findings indicate a negative correlation between the time constant and laser power/pulse width, whereas the rise time is positively correlated with the laser pulse width. And they are all positively correlated with the coating thickness. Importantly, FEA revealed the independence of laser parameters from the time constant. Additionally, when the laser pulse width is approximately one order of magnitude less than the time constant of the sensor, it can be deemed an ideal pulse excitation. In the experiment, the maximum heat flow density was applied up to 3.49 MW/m2, the minimum ideal pulse laser width can reach 1ms, the minimum time constant was measured to be 63 ms, and the minimum rise time was 12 ms. This research serves as a valuable reference for dynamically calibrating sensors using the laser method.

Acquiring high-quality underwater images is critical for various marine applications. However, light absorption and scattering problems in underwater environments severely degrade image quality. To address these issues, this study proposes a Fusion Framework with Multi-Scale Convolution and Triple-Branch Cascaded Transformer for Underwater Image Enhancement(FMTformer). This innovative framework incorporates multi-scale convolution and three-branch cascade transformer to enhance underwater images effectively. The FMTformer framework adds in the Multi-Conv Multi-Scale Fusion (MCMF) mechanism, which utilizes a spectrum of convolutional kernels to adeptly extract multi-scale features from both the base and detail layers of the decomposed image. This method ensures the capture of both high- and low-frequency information. Furthermore, this research introduces the Tri-Branch Self-Attention Transformer (TBSAT), designed to get cross-dimensional interactions via its Tri-Branch structure, significantly refines image processing quality. The framework also embedded the Value Reconstruct Cascade Transformer (VRCT), which refines feature map representation through mixed convolution, yielding enriched attention maps. Empirical evidence indicates that FMTformer achieves parity with the state-of-the-art in both subjective and objective evaluation metrics, outperforming extant methodologies.

Polarization control is fundamental to the field of optical imaging, and the incorporation of metasurface enhances the design versatility of miniature polarization device by introducing additional degrees of freedom. Based on phase change property of vanadium dioxide (VO2) and diatomic structure, this work proposes the method for transforming any given incident polarization into either linear or circular reflected polarization within the terahertz spectrum. Through arranging polarization-converting meta-atoms (PCMs) and polarization-maintaining meta-atoms (PMMs) periodically, the effect of mutual interference enables arbitrary to linear polarization conversion. By utilizing the interference between achiral diatoms, it is possible to achieve a conversion from arbitrary to circular polarization. The introduction of propagation phase and Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase enables wavefront manipulation and generates holograms in a specified reflected polarization channel. When VO2 is metallic, the metasurface generates a hologram of the letter “X” for the x-polarized reflected wave. As VO2 is insulating, the metasurface generates a hologram of the letter “T” for the left-handed circularly polarized (LCP) reflected wave. Our work presents a novel polarization converter device with broad application prospects in optical communication and information security.

Spectral imaging can obtain spatial and spectral information of an object and play an important role in many application scenarios. Computational spectral imaging through scattering media utilizes the spectrally sensitive properties of scattering media as a filter for spectral imaging. The spatial and spectral information are reconstructed simultaneously by deconvolution with point spread function (PSF). Invasive spectral imaging imposes stringent constraints on the measurement accuracy of PSF and application scenarios. Here, we demonstrate a non-invasive multispectral scattering imaging method via optical transfer function (OTF) retrieval. The method uses multi-frame speckles to non-invasively retrieve the OTF of imaging system. Similar to the spectral filter property of PSF in the space domain, OTF at different wavelengths can be employed to filter and reconstruct the multispectral information of mixed speckle in the frequency domain. Our method overcomes the need for invasive measurements and is applicable to a wide range of scenarios for static and dynamic objects, providing a new approach to multispectral imaging.

Terahertz refractive index (RI) sensor is an important tool for characterization of material properties. However, traditional immersion RI sensors suffer from issues of liquid contamination and low detection efficiency. Therefore, this study designs a non-contact multi-channel terahertz RI sensor based on metasurface which can produce vortex beam with focused orbital angular momentum (FOAM). Computing Spatially Weighted Variance (SWV) of the contours and intensities of the images resulting from different RI demonstrates that the RI value correlates uniquely with the weighted variance. Specifically, in the near-field metasurface (NF metasurface), by employing 3-bit phase binary (PB) encoding and convolution operations on vanadium dioxide (VO2) metasurfaces, we realized a high-purity FOAM with a focal length of f = 3500 μm. After fixing the sample under test at f = 3500 μm and analyzing the near-field FOAM amplitude images under various RI conditions using the SWV method, the RI detection sensitivity of the NF metasurface was calculated to be 15,775/RIU. To enhance detection efficiency and meet the requirements for far-field detection, we proposed a sensor capable of detecting multiple samples in the far-field. In the far-field metasurface (FF metasurface), when linearly polarized light is incident on this metasurface, the sensitivity of the FOAM to RI detection produced by this metasurface under the left circularly polarized (LCP) and right circularly polarized (RCP) components are 10,554/RIU and 13,292/RIU, respectively. The minimum change of the RI that can be detected by the near-field and far field sensors reaches 10−4 RIU. When VO2 transitions to its dielectric state, the metasurface switches to specular reflection, thereby endowing the sensor with switching functionality for RI detection. This approach overcomes issues of liquid-contaminated surfaces and enables simultaneous detection of multiple substances, offering broad application prospects across various sensing scenarios.
太赫兹折射率(RI)传感器是表征材料特性的重要工具。然而,传统的浸入式 RI 传感器存在液体污染和检测效率低的问题。因此,本研究设计了一种基于元表面的非接触式多通道太赫兹折射率传感器,它能产生具有聚焦轨道角动量(FOAM)的涡流束。计算不同 RI 产生的图像轮廓和强度的空间加权方差(SWV)表明,RI 值与加权方差具有独特的相关性。具体来说,在近场元表面(NF 元表面)中,通过对二氧化钒(VO2)元表面进行 3 位二进制相位(PB)编码和卷积操作,我们实现了焦距为 f = 3500 μm 的高纯度 FOAM。将被测样品固定在 f = 3500 μm 处,使用 SWV 方法分析各种 RI 条件下的近场 FOAM 幅值图像,计算出 NF 元表面的 RI 检测灵敏度为 15,775/RIU 。为了提高检测效率并满足远场检测的要求,我们提出了一种能够在远场检测多个样本的传感器。在远场元表面(FF 元表面)中,当线性偏振光入射到该元表面时,FOAM 对该元表面在左圆偏振(LCP)和右圆偏振(RCP)分量下产生的 RI 检测灵敏度分别为 10 554/RIU 和 13 292/RIU。近场和远场传感器能检测到的最小 RI 变化达到 10-4 RIU。当 VO2 转变为介电状态时,元表面就会转为镜面反射,从而赋予传感器检测 RI 的切换功能。这种方法克服了液体污染表面的问题,可同时检测多种物质,在各种传感场景中具有广阔的应用前景。

Analyzing noncircular wavefront aberration require reconstructing orthonormal Zernike polynomials over noncircular pupils using Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization and nonrecursive matrix approach. However, these methods are computationally complex and time-consuming. We proposed a modal wavefront reconstruction method for noncircular pupils by Schwarz-Christoffel mapping and Zernike circle polynomials. Schwarz-Christoffel mapping is used to conformally transform the noncircular wavefront into a disk-shaped domain, enabling the mapped circular wavefronts to be fitted by Zernike circle polynomials. Experimental results demonstrate excellent agreement with measurements obtained from a commercial Fizeau interferometer. Furthermore, compared to the traditional orthonormal polynomials fitting method, the reconstruction accuracy of our method is higher than 90 %, and the time consuming is reduced by 2–5 times. This study presents a reliable modal wavefront reconstruction technique for noncircular pupils.

The development of optical systems requires high-precision inspection technology, which supports the manufacturing and integration of optical systems. Currently, the method commonly used for high-precision optical plane inspection is interferometry based on the reference plane, however, its inspection accuracy is constrained by the accuracy of the reference plane. Therefore, this paper proposes an absolute detection method based on multi-signal phase extraction, which simplifies the detection process and effectively improves the detection accuracy. Firstly, the method detects the planes by utilizing the rotational translation method, secondly, the multi-surface separation technique is utilized to extract and separate the face shapes of the three surfaces in the rotational translation method, and lastly, the reference plane error is calibrated and excluded from the measurement results to accurately obtain the surface morphology of the component under test. The experimental results show that the present method reduces the PV of the residual error by about 25 % and reduces the RMS of the residual error by about 30 % compared to the existing absolute detection methods. The experimental results show that the present method reduces the PV of the residual error by about 25 % and reduces the RMS of the residual error by about 30 % compared to the existing absolute detection methods.

A hollow flat-topped Gaussian beam (HFTGB) embedded multi-vortex singularities is put forward in this paper. Its propagation dynamics under the different cases of topological charge, singularity number and location are investigated by means of numerical simulation and experiment. Especially, the evolution of the HFTGB carrying different fractional topological charges is also examined. In addition, the radiation force on a Rayleigh microsphere induced the HFTGB embedded multi-vortex singularities are analyzed and discussed in detail. The results demonstrate that, combined with the advantages of multiple singularities, the HFTGBs have a higher degree of regulatory freedom for trapping or manipulating Rayleigh particles. This work will contribute to the more precise and flexible use of HFTGBs in optical manipulation, optical communication, and other application scenarios.

Accurate rotational speed measurement is a prerequisite for realizing the condition monitoring and fault diagnosis of rotating equipment. This study proposes a novel rotational speed measurement method based on optical coherent displacement measurement. An optical coherence system is used to measure the relative depth of the shaft surface with uniformly etched micro-indentations on the circumferential surface. Fast Fourier transform (FFT) and the Hanning window energy centrobaric method (HnWECM) are used to process the collected photoelectric signals to obtain depth information and thereby realize the measurement of surface micro-indentations. During the operation, the rotational speed of the shaft is obtained by calculating the ratio of the angular difference between the relative depth of the rectangular pulses of the surface and the time interval. The experimental validation of the response is performed. The experimental results show that in the range of 0 rpm to 60 rpm, the indication error is <1 %, the nonlinearity error is <0.3584 %, and the repeatability error is <0.28 %. In the range of 0 rpm to 600 rpm, the rotational speed measurement method performed well with an indication error of <0.5 %, a maximum nonlinear error of 0.22 %, and a repeatability error of no >0.28 %. Compared with the results reported in existing literature, the proposed method offers advantages in terms of accuracy, linearity, and repeatability.

We present a spatial scanning technique for optical transmission imaging of strongly-scattering objects based on spatially-selective registration of ballistic photons originating from modulated (pulsed) laser radiation. The registration system counts the number of transmitted pulses at any pixel, forming a grayscale image. By choosing modulation regime, it is possible to record a real analog image or to outline contours of the image features, without necessity of software image processing. The developed system is tested on model scattering object (stack of paper) and biological object (human hand). Due to the automatic adjustment of the signal level, realized by the appropriate laser modulation mode, formation of an image with a structure uniformly pronounced across the aperture has been attained, even under conditions of significant changes in background transmission.
