Luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs) are considered promising photovoltaic (PV) devices to circumvent practical issues of applying conventional solar panels to the built environment. However, LSCs suffer from low power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) (typically <2% for devices of over 1 m2), despite numerous efforts having been made to develop novel luminescent materials and optical techniques. In this report, we proposed to utilize photothermal (PT) energy of the LSCs to further improve the PCE. We conducted a preliminary investigation on the PV and PT properties of an LSC with dimensions of 300 mm × 300 mm × 5 mm. The results showed that the PT power (27.05 W) was much higher than the PV power (2.12 W). Further analysis indicated that the PCE could reach 3.41% for a device of 1 m2.
发光太阳能聚光器(LSCs)被认为是有前途的光伏(PV)设备，以避免将传统太阳能电池板应用于建筑环境中的实际问题。然而，尽管在开发新型发光材料和光学技术方面做出了许多努力，但LSCs的功率转换效率(pce)较低(对于超过1平方米的器件通常<2%)。在本文中，我们提出利用光热(PT)能量来进一步提高LSC的PCE，并对尺寸为300 mm × 300 mm × 5 mm的LSC的PV和PT性能进行了初步研究。结果表明，PT功率(27.05 W)远高于PV功率(2.12 W)，进一步分析表明，1 m2器件的PCE可达3.41%。

We report the design simulation of the Raman spectrometer using Zemax optical system design software. The design is based on the Czerny–Turner configuration, which includes an optical system consisting of an entrance slit, two concave mirrors, reflecting type diffraction grating and an image detector. The system’s modeling approach is suggested by introducing the corresponding relationship between detector pixels and wavelength, linear CCD receiving surface length and image surface dimension. The simulations were carried out using the POP (physical optics propagation) algorithm. Spot diagram, relative illumination, irradiance plot, modulation transfer function (MTF), geometric and encircled energy were simulated for designing the Raman spectrometer. The simulation results of the Raman spectrometer using a 527 nm wavelength laser as an excitation light source are presented. The present optical system was designed in sequential mode and a Raman spectrum was observed from 530 nm to 630 nm. The analysis shows that the system’s image efficiency was quite good, predicting that it could build an efficient and cost-effective Raman spectrometer for optical diagnostics.

Most oral injuries are diagnosed by histopathological analysis of invasive and time-consuming biopsies. This analysis and conventional clinical observation cannot identify biochemically altered tissues predisposed to malignancy if no microstructural changes are detectable. With this in mind, detailed biochemical characterization of normal tissues and their differentiation features on healthy individuals is important in order to recognize biomolecular changes associated with early tissue predisposition to malignant transformation. Raman spectroscopy is a label-free method for characterization of tissue structure and specific composition. In this study, we used Raman spectroscopy to characterize the biochemistry of in vivo oral tissues of healthy individuals. We investigated this biochemistry based on the vibrational modes related to Raman spectra of four oral subsites (buccal, gingiva, lip and tongue) of ten volunteers as well as with principal component (PC) loadings for the difference between the four types of oral subsites. Therefore, we determined the biochemical characteristics of each type of healthy oral subsite and those corresponding to differentiation of the four types of subsites. In addition, we developed a spectral reference of oral healthy tissues of individuals in the Brazilian population for future diagnosis of early pathological conditions using real-time, noninvasive and label-free techniques such as Raman spectroscopy.

The projection lens is the core component of DMD-based maskless lithography and its imaging quality directly affects the transferal of exposure pattern. Based on the traditional projection lens system, we have designed diffractive optical element (DOE) and aspheric surfaces to optimize the refractive/diffractive hybrid projection lens system to improve its imaging quality. We found that the best effect is obtained when DOE is very close to the front lens group before the diaphragm of the hybrid system. Compared with the traditional projection lens system, this hybrid projection lens system has lower wave aberration with the help of DOE, and higher image quality owing to the modulation transfer function (MTF) value being improved. Finally, a hybrid projection lens system with working distance of 29.07 mm, image Space NA of 0.45, and total length of 196.97 mm is designed. We found that the maximum distortion and field curvature are 1.36 × 10−5% and 0.91 μm, respectively.

Due to the unprecedented growth in mobile data traffic, emerging mobile access networks such as fifth-generation (5G) would require huge bandwidth and a mobile fronthaul architecture as an essential solution in providing a high capacity for support in the future. To increase capacity, utilizing millimeter waves (mm-waves) in an analog radio over fiber (RoF) fronthaul link is the major advancement and solution in achieving higher bandwidth and high data rate to cater for 5G mobile communication. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of transmission and reception of a 100 Gbits/s data rate link at 28 GHz. The performance of three modulation formats (16-PSK, 16-QAM and 64-QAM) have been compared for an optical fiber length from 5 km up to 35 km for two detection systems; coherent and direct detection. Also, in this paper, the transmission impairments inherent to transmission systems are realized through the implementation of a digital signal processing (DSP) compensation scheme in the receiver system to enhance system performance. Quality factor (QF) and bit error rate (BER) are used as metrics to evaluate the system performance. The proposed system model is designed and simulated using Optisystem 16.

Fiber-feedback optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) incorporate intracavity fibers to provide a compact high-energy wavelength-tunable laser platform; however, dispersive effects can limit operation to the sub-picosecond regime. In this research article, we modeled pulse propagation through systems of cascaded fibers, incorporating SMF-28 and ultra-high numerical aperture (UHNA) fibers with complementary second-order dispersion coefficients. We found that the pulse duration upon exiting the fiber system is dominated by uncompensated third-order effects, with UHNA7 presenting the best opportunity to realise a cascaded-fiber-feedback OPO.

The goal of this thesis was to study, determine, and measure Raman and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of fatty acids and lipids. Firstly, the Raman measurement was done using silver substrate where the activation process was achieved by focusing crystals of green laser radiation 5 mW power at 5 minutes on the silver substrate. The Raman measurement again was done using Invia Raman Spectroscopy with 514 nm excitation and objective 100x magnification where the samples to be measured were incubated using RH6G (good signal analyzer). After the incubation process, the samples were rinsed with water and allowed to dry for 5 minutes where ten samples of fatty acids and lipids were measured, recorded, saved and baseline of the spectra’s were corrected using matlab codes and averaged. Secondly the SERS measurement was done by growing silver chloride nanoparticle on the silver substrate where the substrate was dipped in a precursor solution of silver nitrate and sodium chloride in a cyclic process. The photosensitive silver chloride crystals were reduced into silver nanoparticles using laser light from the Invia Raman spectroscopy. The SERS measurement was done by depositing the fatty acids and lipids to be measured on the spot which contains the silver nanoparticle recorded the values, saved and baseline of the spectra’s corrected using MatLab codes and averaged. This thesis work reveals that, the peaks obtained by the Raman and SERS measurement originated from the double bonds which was used to identify saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and lipids from one another. The study reveals that, the Raman measurement occurs at higher concentrations whereas the SERS measurement occurs at lower concentrations. The study reveals that the SERS measurement depends on the nature of the analyte, integration time, shape, size and laser power whereas the Raman measurement depends on the surface area and laser power. Lastly, the study reveals that the 514 nm excitation was negligible to efficiently execute the surface Plasmons of the SERS measurement.

The Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beam demonstrates great potential for optical communication due to its orthogonality between different eigenstates, and has gained increased research interest in recent years. Here, we propose a dual-output mode analysis method based on deep learning that can accurately obtain both the mode weight and phase information of multimode LG beams. We reconstruct the LG beams based on the result predicted by the convolutional neural network. It shows that the correlation coefficient values after reconstruction are above 0.9999, and the mean absolute error (MAE) of the mode weights and phases are about 1.4 × 10−3 and 2.9 × 10−3, respectively. The model still maintains relatively accurate prediction for the associated unknown data set and the noise-disturbed samples. In addition, the computation time of the model for a single test sample takes only 0.975 ms on average. These results show that our method has good abilities of generalization and robustness and allows for nearly real-time modal analysis.

The squeezing, entanglement, and statistical properties of light produced by lambda-type three-level laser coupled to squeezed vacuum reservoir have been studied. We have determined the quadrature variances mean as well as variance photon number photon for cavity modes with the aid of the solutions of c-number Langevin equations associated with the normal order. The results show that the light produced by the system under consideration in squeezed state. The squeezed vacuum reservoir enhances both the quadrature squeezing and mean photon numbers. In addition, the mean photon number of mode b is greater than that of a if more atoms injected with state |a>. We have calculated the quadrature variances of the cavity modes, the result shows that the light produced by the system under consideration is in squeezed state and the squeezing occurs in the minus quadrature. The result also shows that the effect of the squeezed vacuum reservoir is not only enhancing the degree of squeezing for the light modes but also to generate the photons for the system under consideration. The system produce entangled two mode light that increase with η and linear gain coefficient but decrease with squeezing parameters. The correlation function of the two modes decreases as η, the linear gain coefficient and increase with squeezing parameter.

The scattering from air–glass interfaces within solid-core polarization-maintaining photonic crystal fiber (PM–PCF) will increase the fiber attenuation coefficient, which may lead to high transmission loss. Therefore, it is necessary to describe scattering properties to guide research into reducing fiber loss. In this paper, the loss resulting from roughness scattering at multi-hole interfaces within PM–PCF was theoretically and experimentally analyzed. A PM–PCF scattering model was established to explore the scattering distribution. On the other hand, a fully automatic testing device was built to enable the measurement of a three-dimensional scattering sphere. Simulations were in good agreement with experimental measurements. Moreover, this new proposed measurement method could apply to other PCFs and it will be a useful tool for further scattering research.
