The most promising signature is the Ps Balmer alpha line (Psα) at 1312.22nm. This observation scheme has never been implemented from ground-based telescopes due to the bright airglow. Now, the FBG-based OH suppression technique presents a promising solution for removing airglow emission lines surrounding the target signature.

Traditional Angle-of Arrival (AOA) estimation techniques cannot obtain accurate and highly available angle measurements used for position calculation, for example, optical measuring equipment can provide precise angle measurements but is restricted by weather condition, array antenna can be used in all situations but its measurement error would be too large. In order to acquire precise azimuth and pitch estimations, an optical phase scanning based AOA estimation method is utilized in this work. At the remote antenna unit (RAU), one received microwave signal is applied to a phase modulator (PM), and another received microwave signal coupled with a low-frequency large-voltage sawtooth-wave signal is applied to another PM, this sawtooth-wave signal is utilized to scan the phase of the optical sideband from 0 to 2π. By transmission through a segment of fiber link, the AOA value can be measured by processing the obtained low-frequency electrical signals at the central office (CO). Experimental results demonstrate that the AOA estimation precision could be less than 2.27° when the distance between array elements is half-wavelength of the microwave (d = λ/2 0.015 @10GHz), and smaller than 0.017° if the array elements spacing is bigger than 2m for medium-sized or large-sized UAV. Then the experimental result is applied into dual station cross localization simulation structure of UAV swarm, then localization precision distribution is evaluated in different scenarios, corresponding outcomes indicate that optical phase scanning based high precision AOA estimations are beneficial to cooperative localization, and in order to acquire more accurate cooperative localization results, the positions of anchor node UAVs need to be properly adjusted.","PeriodicalId":502341,"journal":{"name":"Applied Optics and Photonics China","volume":"82 ","pages":"129660U - 129660U-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139176291","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}

The seed signal is given by Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) with tunable signal wave forms, which can afford the system with different time-width and bandwidth. The microwave photonics electro-optic modulation and photoelectric transformation system turns the seed signal with low-frequency and narrow-bandwidth into the signal by 4 times at frequency carried on the laser through the dualparallel electro-optic modulator, and obtain the high-frequency and broadband radar signal after the photoelectric detector, and then transmit the radar signal into the input port of the hardware-in-the-loop simulator with time delay function. The radar signal is set as different delay corresponding to different transmission distance, such as 1km, 2km, and other distances. After the hardware-in-the-loop simulator with some distance delay, the signal is transmitted from the output ort of the hardware-in-the-loop simulator into the receiver. In the receiving link, the electric de-chirping method is carried out to down convert the radar echo signal. After electric ADC, the ranging data is processed. Two typical wave forms, such as the wave form with 1GHz bandwidth and 2ms pulse width, and the other wave form with 2GHz bandwidth and 8ms are operated through the system respectively.

At the same time, it also has higher requirements for its surface processing quality. The trajectory planning in polishing is an important part that affects the surface quality of the component. Due to the continuous change of the curvature radius of the high-steep aspheric surface and the large change rate of the vector height, the commonly used planar equidistant grating scanning trajectory is projected onto its surface. The distribution of trajectory points on the surface is obviously uneven, resulting in over polishing or under polishing in some areas. In order to ensure the machining accuracy of high-gradient aspheric surface, the concept of “common equal arc length point” is proposed and the equal arc length trajectory point planning model is established to make the spatial distance of any adjacent trajectory points on the aspheric surface consistent, and the spatial interval change rate is introduced to quantitatively analyze the distribution of trajectory points. Several aspheric surfaces with different vector height change rates are sampled by the equal arc length trajectory point model. Under the same sampling accuracy as the plane equidistant grid scanning trajectory point model, the change rate of the trajectory point spacing to the surface shape is reduced from 70.72 % ~ 33.03 %to 25.18%~8.75 %. The simulation results show the effectiveness of the model.","PeriodicalId":502341,"journal":{"name":"Applied Optics and Photonics China","volume":"240 1","pages":"1296403 - 1296403-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139173257","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}

Such a design can realize an output mode field compatible with different sizes ranging from 3.5 um-9.2 um. The double-layer mode converter core with SiN has a similar height as the ridge waveguide of TFLN, which is helpful to increase the conversion efficiency. An overall coupling loss of less than 0.6 dB was achieved theoretically at 1310 nm for both modes. The proposed scheme avoids the disadvantage of high reflection when the inclined TFLN section result from dry-etching is directly used as the coupling end face and can improve the performance of integrated TFLN electro-optic modulation on the chip level. Three-dimensional simulation results show that the designed structure is insensitive to fabrication tolerance, which provides a feasible solution for reducing the volume of integrated devices, increasing overall performance and high-density integration.","PeriodicalId":502341,"journal":{"name":"Applied Optics and Photonics China","volume":"116 ","pages":"129661B - 129661B-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139173651","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 the process of using Raman lidar to detect water vapor, the telescope receives the backscattered light signal of the system, which is focused and coupled into the single-mode fiber through the microscopic objective lens. The mode field diameter of the selected single-mode fiber is only 4μm. The weak offset will lead to a decrease in coupling efficiency. When the no-load or space-borne lidar detects the atmosphere, the fluctuation of the airflow may cause the platform vibration to produce a position offset, which will reduce the efficiency of coupling the water vapor Raman scattering echo signal into the single-mode fiber. Based on the above problems, this paper designs a single-mode fiber automatic coupling system. In the closed-loop mode, the controller uses the piezoelectric effect to control the three-axis motion platform to automatically track the maximum brightness in the shooting spot, and realizes the coupling alignment between the single-mode fiber and the nitrogen Raman scattering echo (386.7nm) and the water vapor Raman scattering echo (407.8nm). The coupling efficiency is 49.7%, and the automatic adjustment accuracy is sub-micron. The influence of axial offset and lateral offset on the coupling efficiency is analyzed at the incident light wavelength of 407 nm. This provides a new solution for the continuous, stable and efficient acquisition of water vapor signals by all-fiber detection water vapor Raman lidar system.","PeriodicalId":502341,"journal":{"name":"Applied Optics and Photonics China","volume":"175 ","pages":"129620J - 129620J-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139174540","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}

During the experiment, we observed an abnormal behavior of the residual pump power from the counter port of the pump core. This abnormal behavior exhibited a threshold-like characteristic, with both the residual power and corresponding power ratio to injected pump starting to increase exponentially above a specific value. Specifically, when the pump power injected into the system ranged from 7.2 kW to 11.77 kW, the corresponding residual power ratio increased from 4.05% to 11.01%. Simultaneously, the signal optical-to-optical conversion efficiency decreased from 84.11% to 75.33%. This sudden appearance of the phenomenon significantly limits the ability to further scale the power of the system.
