Due to limited beam propagation distance in the ground experiment, the in-flat top properties of the transmitting beam will greatly affect the acquisition precision. Based on the analysis of the influence, an improved acquisition ground simulation scheme is introduced. The experimental results indicate that the experimental system can achieve the acquisition accuracy of sub-10 µrad magnitude at the acquisition camera. The experimental system realizes methodological demonstration of the acquisition scheme. The results offer the experimental foundation and theoretical basis for the acquisition system of the Taiji/LISA program.Herein, we verify that a Raman/EDFA hybrid amplifier can improve the stability of fiber-optic time and frequency synchronization systems compared to the Er3+-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), owing to its higher gain and lower noise figure (NF) performance. We studied the variation law of Raman gain efficiency for a fiber Raman amplifier (FRA) as a function of pump power and input signal power, designed a bidirectional Raman/EDFA hybrid amplifier, and proved that equivalent NF below 0 dB can be obtained. Finally, hybrid amplifiers were compared to EDFAs in a free-running frequency synchronization system. The transfer stabilities reached 1.9678 × 10-13/1 s and 2.0248 × 10-13/1 s when FRA + EDFA and EDFA + FRA configurations were used, respectively, both exhibiting better performance than the stability of 3.0905 × 10-13/1 s obtained by EDFA.A multi-channel interference (MCI) widely tunable semiconductor laser is described in detail with improved performance in this paper. The MCI laser without the common phase section was packaged into a standard 14-pin butterfly package. The device realized a tuning range of more than 40 nm with side mode suppression ratios (SMSRs) higher than 48 dB and about 7 dBm fiber power. By making the gain section and the phase sections to be surface ridge waveguides, threshold currents of the laser have become less than 18 mA across the tuning range. Besides, tuning characteristics of the MCI laser were experimentally studied in detail for the first time. The MCI laser can be treated as a combination of eight Fabry-Pérot (FP) cavity lasers which share the same gain section. It is found that when the eight arm phase sections are completely in phase at the lasing wavelength, the operating currents are at maxima of the output power curves. The relationship between the lasing wavelength and the injection currents of the eight arm phase sections has been introduced and analyzed.Pre-chirp managed amplification (PCMA) allows the generation of optical pulses with a duration well below 100 fs. However, the pulse peak power is limited to 30 times improvement in both pulse energy and peak power compared with current Yb-fiber PCMA systems.Thin-film lithium niobate (TFLN) modulators are expected to be an ideal solution to achieve a super-wide modulation bandwidth needed by the next-generation optical communication system. To improve the performance, especially to reduce the driving voltage, we have carried out a detailed design of the TFLN push-pull modulator by calculating 2D maps of the optical losses and Vπ for different ridge waveguide depths and electrode gaps. Afterwards the modulator with travelling wave electrodes was fabricated through i-line photolithography and then characterized. The measured Vπ for a modulator with 5-mm modulation arm length is 3.5 V, corresponding to voltage-length product of 1.75 V·cm, which is the lowest among similar modulators as far as we know. And the measured electro-optic response has a 3-dB bandwidth beyond 40 GHz, which is the limitation of our measurement capability. The detailed design, fabrication and measurement results are presented.Colour preference is a critical dimension for describing the colour quality of lighting and numerous metrics have been proposed. However, due to the variation amongst psychophysical studies, consensus has not been reached on the best approach to quantify colour preference. In this study, 25 typical colour quality metrics were comprehensively tested based on 39 groups of psychophysical data from 19 published visual studies. The experimental results showed that two combined metrics the arithmetic mean of the gamut area index (GAI) and colour rendering index (CRI) and the colour quality index (CQI), a combination of the correlated colour temperature (CCT) and memory colour rendering index (MCRI), exhibit the best performance. read more Qp in the colour quality scale (CQS) and MCRI also performed well in visual experiments of constant CCT but failed when CCT varied, which highlights the dependence of certain metrics on contextual lighting conditions. In addition, it was found that some weighted combinations of an absolute gamut-based metric and a colour fidelity metric exhibited superior performance in colour preference prediction. Consistent with such a result, a novel metric named MCPI (colour preference index based on meta-analysis) was proposed by fitting the large psychophysical dataset, and this achieved a significantly higher weighted average correlation coefficient between metric predictions and subjective preference ratings.In light transmission microscopy, axial scanning does not directly provide tomographic reconstruction of specimen. Phase deconvolution microscopy can convert a raw intensity image stack into a refractive index tomogram, the intrinsic sample contrast which can be exploited for quantitative morphological analysis. However, this technique is limited by reconstruction artifacts due to unoptimized optical conditions, which leads to a sparse and non-uniform optical transfer function. Here, we propose an optimization method based on simulated annealing to systematically obtain optimal illumination schemes that enable artifact-free deconvolution. The proposed method showed precise tomographic reconstruction of unlabeled biological samples.Waveguide optical tweezers can capture and transport nanoparticles, and have important applications in biology, physics, and materials science. However, traditional waveguide optical tweezers need to couple incident light into one end of the waveguide, which causes problems such as difficulty in alignment and low efficiency. Here, we propose a new type of waveguide optical tweezers based on spin-orbit coupling of light. Under the effect of spin-orbit coupling between the waveguide and nearby particles illuminated by a circularly polarized light, the particles experience a lateral recoil force and a strong optical gradient force, which make particles in a large area to be trapped near the waveguide and then transmitted along the waveguide, avoiding the coupling of light into one end of the waveguide. We further demonstrate that the particles can be transmitted along a curved waveguide and even rotated along a ring-shaped waveguide, and its transmission direction can be simply switched by adjusting the spin polarization of incident light.
