A proof-of-model demonstration is performed for three-mode fiber, and the results show that the coupling efficiency and mode crosstalk of various modes behaves differently in the presence of axial offset and the direction of the misalignment. And it is also demonstrated that the proposed scheme can be scalable to analyze the FMFs with a large number of modes. On the basis of this model, the tolerance of coupling efficiency to the fusion splice conditions with different FMF parameter is analyzed. The results show that the larger the FMF normalized frequency <i>V</i>, the smaller the tolerance of spatial mode coupling to the transverse offset value. With the increase of <i>V</i> value, the tolerance of self-coupling efficiency and mode crosstalk to angular misalignments changes regularly. Therefore, the transverse offset and angular misalignments of fusion splice with different FMF parameters need to be strictly controlled to achieve suitable mode coupling efficiency and mode crosstalk.</p>","PeriodicalId":722,"journal":{"name":"Optical Review","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142753774","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}

However, limited by the terahertz imaging system, it is challenging to detect concealed objects due to hard samples and imbalanced categories caused by terahertz image quality. To solve these issues, we propose a hybrid network with difficult–easy learning (DEL) for concealed object detection in the imbalanced activated terahertz image dataset. Based on the one-stage framework YOLOv5m, a path aggregation hybrid structure (PAHS) is proposed to improve the performance of the proposed network while maintaining real-time detection. Specifically, PAHS with transformer block (TB) and a fine-tuned global context attention (GCA) are designed to fully exploit and fuse the multi-scale information by path aggregation, which improves the detection accuracy of low contrast and noise-interfered objects. To solve the problem of imbalanced categories in the activated terahertz dataset, a DELoss is developed to guide the network classification. Moreover, EIOU is adopted to boost the network training, and a modified B-Ocl loss is used to discriminate the positive and negative samples. Experiments are conducted on a public imbalanced activate terahertz image dataset. The experimental results illustrate that the proposed network achieves competitive performance compared with recently reported state-of-the-art detection methods. Moreover, the proposed method improves the balanced detection ability of different categories.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":722,"journal":{"name":"Optical Review","volume":"31 Japan","pages":"702 - 718"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142637896","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}

Since the laser beam for pumping is focused on a small spot size (usually less than 1 mm<sup>2</sup>), heat generation is unavoidable at this point.

However, composite ceramic phosphors for warm-white around 3000 K are not as researched; this is because the difficulties in sintering nitride phosphors which are useful as red or orange phosphors. We have proposed improved ternary composite ceramic phosphors for warm-white laser lighting.

These composite ceramic phosphors have higher saturation input laser power than our previous one, in which Sr<sub>2</sub>Si<sub>5</sub>N<sub>8</sub> was utilized as a red phosphor. The improved ceramic phosphors (Type A) do not have a saturation peak of at least up to 16 W (power density:20 W/mm<sup>2</sup>) pumping laser power, but our previous one had a saturation peak at 6 W (power density:7.6 W/mm<sup>2</sup>).

This single-center study enrolled 30 participants into two groups including 15 young participants (age 21.4 ± 1.3 years) and 15 older participants (age 71.7 ± 1.7 years). We used TWC lenses and a neutral density (ND) filter to assess the wavelength-cut effects on visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and cone contrast sensitivity. Visual acuity and contrast sensitivity were assessed under photopic (luminance 85–100 cd/m<sup>2</sup>) and mesopic conditions (luminance 0.8 cd/m<sup>2</sup>). Significant interactions between age and lens conditions were observed for contrast sensitivity under photopic conditions (Bonferroni corrected α = 0.025, F<sub>(1,28)</sub> = 7.98, P = 0.01, η<sup>2</sup> = 0.003), suggesting that contrast sensitivity to white and black gratings is better with TWC lenses (75%) than with the ND filter in young participants (F<sub>(1,28)</sub> = 7.25, P = 0.01, η<sup>2</sup> = 0.206). However, the lens condition did not affect visual acuity and had only a minimal effect on cone contrast sensitivity for each cone type. In conclusion, TWC lenses, despite their nearly colorless and transparent appearance, can selectively block specific wavelengths to improve contrast sensitivity, while minimally affecting color perception. However, since the effect size of these interactions is very small, the impact is limited, therefore glasses should be prescribed with caution for young individuals.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":722,"journal":{"name":"Optical Review","volume":"31 Japan","pages":"694 - 701"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-10-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142488514","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}
