The traditional method of detecting the refractive index of seawater is calculated by measuring the temperature, conductivity, and pressure of seawater using CTD (Conductivity-Temperature-Depth) device. However, CTD can only detect the conductive ions in seawater, but not the non-electrolytic solutes in seawater, which leads to errors in salinity detection, and the accuracy of current seawater refractive index detection methods cannot meet the requirements. In this paper, based on the requirements of seawater refractive index measurement, the Zemax optical simulation analysis of the seawater refractive index measurement system was carried out. The influence of the angle between the two pass lenses in the detection area, the focal length of the focusing lens, and the size of the photo sensitive surface of the detector on the measurement system are analyzed. When the angle between the two pass lenses is 30°, the focal length of the focusing lens is 300 mm and the size of the photosensitive surface of the detector is determined to 4×4 mm2, the optimal refractive index measurement sensitivity of the optical system is obtained. it is calculated that when the detector accuracy is 1μm, the refractive index detection sensitivity of the optical system is 10-6 RIU.","PeriodicalId":502341,"journal":{"name":"Applied Optics and Photonics China","volume":"24 1","pages":"129631L - 129631L-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139175130","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microwave photonic signal sources based on photoelectric oscillators (OEO) can directly generate high frequency local oscillator signal, and its phase noise level is significantly better than that of traditional microwave local oscillators. Currently, there are limited researches on the application of the photoelectric oscillator in the airborne practical environment, while the operational environment of the airborne radar is extremely harsh. This will hinder the practicality of the photoelectric oscillator in the airborne radar. In this paper, the key role of phase noise in airborne radar scene detection is analyzed first. The influence of different signal forms on the phase noise of the transmitted excitation signal in radar is calculated, and the principle of reducing phase noise to improve the detection performance of airborne radar is summarized. Based on the design framework of the optical oscillator, the phase noise level of the optical oscillator in the airborne vibration environment is analytically analyzed and numerically simulated. The physical model and empirical formula of the influence of the phase noise of the optical oscillator in vibrational environment are established. Finally, the validity of the theory of phase noise deterioration in the vibrational environment is verified by the vibration-test-platform experiment. Combined with the test results, some suggestions for improving the design of the photoelectric oscillator for airborne radar in the actual combat environment are summarized. This work lays a good foundation for the application of photoelectric oscillator in airborne radar.","PeriodicalId":502341,"journal":{"name":"Applied Optics and Photonics China","volume":"124 1","pages":"129662C - 129662C-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139175141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since the density of the point cloud collected by this lidar is time-dependent, in order to obtain a high-density point cloud, each station adopts a data collection method in which the motor-controlled lidar rotates 22.5 degrees each time, rotates 16 times, and scans the environment for one week. Using the self-developed station data processing programme, the data from each station were aligned according to the angle of the data by rotating the data through the space vector rotation algorithm. In the stage of inter-station point cloud registration, the original feature constraints of the multi-site cloud are obtained, and the error equations are derived from the constraints through the initial solution of all the station transformation parameters and unknown points except the control points. The weight function established by each constraint error is used as the constraint for iterative settlement until the iteration conditions are met, and all site space transformation parameters and location coordinates are output to achieve overall registration of multi-site cloud. This experiment shows that the point cloud data collected by the self-developed low-cost lidar has high density, high resolution, and the accuracy after registration is about 2cmin the nominal accuracy of prism lidar hardware, which has strong practicability and feasibility.","PeriodicalId":502341,"journal":{"name":"Applied Optics and Photonics China","volume":"36 1","pages":"129590E - 129590E-12"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139175510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we first analyzed the temperature characteristics of a well-designed z-cut polarization mode converter based on thin-film PPLN. The simulated modulation voltage is smaller than 5V. Then a temperature-insensitive device was proposed with different coating materials of negative thermo-optic coefficients. Compared to the structure without coating, the wavelength shifting decreases from 0.25nm/°C to 0.07nm/°C, in the meantime, the modulation voltage can still be kept smaller than 5V or even be reduced slightly.","PeriodicalId":502341,"journal":{"name":"Applied Optics and Photonics China","volume":"127 ","pages":"129660V - 129660V-4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139175913","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
