However, FPP only requires the fringe pattern on the object surface while DIC only requires the texture pattern on the object surface. Therefore, separating high-quality fringe patterns and texture patterns has always been a research difficulty. In this paper, a texture-separable polarization phase-shift coding strategy (TSPP) is proposed to superimpose the phase-shift pattern of the horizontal polarization state and the white light texture pattern of the vertical polarization state into a new phase-shift fringe. Since the polarization states in two orthogonal directions do not affect each other, the texture pattern on the surface of the object can be obtained while projecting the phase-shifted fringes. Our proposed method can separate fringe patterns and texture patterns in real time without the need for additional hardware equipment, and can cope with different lighting environments to obtain high-quality fringe and texture patterns. Experimental results show that the proposed method can obtain better three-dimensional reconstruction effects and displacement measurement results.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19586,"journal":{"name":"Optics Communications","volume":"576 ","pages":"Article 131347"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142744919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"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 study, we employ a metallic coating layer to significantly enhance the light confinement of the F–P cavity, thereby substantially reducing the cavity length of the F–P laser. We have experimentally developed an F–P laser with a cavity length of approximately 6.8 μm, successfully achieving single-mode lasing at room temperature. The lasing mode exhibits an ultra-narrow linewidth of 0.06 nm and a relative high side-mode suppression ratio exceeding 30 dB, along with good linear polarization. Additionally, we propose a type of on-chip integrated laser based on metallic-coated F–P cavities, characterized by high coupling efficiency and large fabrication tolerances. Simulation results indicate that the coupling efficiency for double-ended and single-ended output waveguides reaches 79% and 55%, respectively.

In recent years, constrained optimization algorithms have been increasingly employed to address this issue. However, these algorithms need to set the appropriate initial emissivity values in particular and the imposition of manual constraints on the search range for emissivity. In this paper, a new data processing method that does not require these artificial Settings is proposed. Our method incorporates new objective functions and nonlinear constraints into the inversion of multispectral emissivity and temperature, while employing the Barrier Function Interior Point Method as an optimization tool. In addition, it has to be mentioned that in the blackbody temperature setting of the reference temperature model, the temperature of the blackbody is set very close to the target temperature by the constrained optimization algorithm, which obviously does not meet the needs of large-scale temperature measurement. The data processing method proposed in this paper addresses situations where there is a significant difference between the blackbody set temperature and the target temperature, ensuring both accuracy and speed over a wide range. Experiments demonstrate that our proposed method achieves a relative error of less than 0.42% in emissivity inversion, less than 0.57% in temperature inversion, and a calculation time of under 0.2 s.

As turbulence increases, image quality declines, and turbulence directionality substantially affects image quality, with parallel turbulence causing more wavefront aberrations. CGI shows tolerance to light-perpendicular turbulence, maintaining clarity despite resolution, contrast, and brightness reductions during intense turbulence. We introduced PSNR and SSIM to quantify the impact of turbulence on image quality, confirming CGI's resilience to turbulence interference.
