Directionally dependent temporal waveforms of the radiated THz pulse is calculated. To do so, we have extended the photo-current model to calculate three-dimensional distribution of the photo-induced current from which the far-field THz radiation is computed. We have also studied the effect of optical polarization state and phase difference on the angular distribution of radiation. Our study shows that for two orthogonally-polarized colours, not only THz polarization state, but also the angular distribution of THz radiation is mostly influenced by the second optical harmonic. The possibility of rotating the angular radiation pattern around the axis of the laser propagation is illustrated for circularly-polarized laser drivers by changing the optical phase difference.","PeriodicalId":16426,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43297835","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To solve this problem, we proposed an effective single-frame denoising method in this paper. First, the wavelet function extracts the approximate and vertical components of the original image containing stripe noise. Then, the approximation component is denoised by parameter estimation, and the vertical component is denoised by guided filtering. Finally, wavelet reconstruction is performed to realize the denoising process of the original image. This method avoids the loss of details of other components of the image and achieves an excellent denoising effect. The experimental results on the public datasets indicate that our proposed method can effectively eliminate the stripe noise of infrared images compared with some advanced methods.","PeriodicalId":16426,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45102747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We demonstrate that the flux-driven Josephson parametric amplifier with a nonlinear gain is crucial in creating the squeezed states of the magnon and phonon modes. We show that, by the cavity-magnon state-swap interaction, the magnons can be completed in a squeezed state, and that the phonons can also be squeezed by driving the magnons through a strong red-detuned MW field. Essentially, our system reveals a squeezing transfer from cavity photons to magnons and then to phonons. The influence of physical and environmental parameters on the degree of squeezing is widely explored.","PeriodicalId":16426,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42350562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, Harris corner detection algorithm is used to achieve the full aperture testing result by stitching multiple detection images. According to the Shannon sampling theorem, how the size of the overlapping area influences the stitching results is analysed in detail. Combined with the spatial scale of surface defects, a method for determining the size of the overlapping area is given. The standard scratch patterns are used to simulate the stitching process. On this basis, an actual stitching processing is carried out on the detection images of surface scratches of four different spatial scales. Both the simulation and experimental results show that it is reasonable to use the scale of the smallest defect to determine the number of sampling points in the stitching area.","PeriodicalId":16426,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Modern Optics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49346969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A splitting of the interference pattern of the perfect vortex beam (PVB) was observed with the introduction of lateral misalignment. These interference patterns proved to be instrumental in the identification of minute misalignment (micron level) in the optical set-up.
