Three months after the operation, the patients were followed up with slit lamp to check the visual acuity, including uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA), uncorrected near visual acuity (UCNVA), best corrected distance visual acuity, (BCDVA);the questionnaire surveys on the satisfaction of different intraocular lens implantation (far and near vision, glare, halo and abnormal visual symptoms);the iTrace visual function analyzer was used to check the total high-order aberrations (spherical aberration, wisdom aberration and Clover aberration) in the 3 mm pupil diameter. <strong>Results:</strong> Three months after cataract surgery, American Simplified version of questionnaire survey showed that the scores of near removing glasses in the multifocal group and the ART group were significantly better than those in the single focus group and the astigmatism group (<em>P</em> < 0.05);there was no significant difference in the satisfaction of far removing glasses, glare and halo in each group (<em>P</em> > 0.05). Three months after cataract surgery, there were statistically significant differences about UCDVA, BCDVA and UCNVA among the four groups (<em>F</em> = 18.189, <em>P </em>< 0.001), the UCNVA in the multifocal group and ART group was significantly better than that in the single focus group and the astigmatism group (<em>P</em> < 0.01). The difference of higher-order aberrations (total higher-order aberrations, wisdom aberrations, spherical aberrations, clover aberrations) was no statistically significant among the four groups (<em>P</em> > 0.05). <strong>Conclusion: </strong>Different types of AcrySof blue light filtering intraocular lens implantation could improve the far vision and satisfaction of cataract patients, without different higher-order aberrations. Multifocal intraocular lens and ART intraocular lens could significantly improve the far vision of patients and reduce the dependence on near glasses.展开更多

It was constructed by inserting an optical fiber deposited by a thin silicone cladding of cryptophane A into a fused-silica capillary. When different concentration of methane gas was introduced to the sensor, the phenomenon that mode-filtered light intensity decreased with the increasing concentration of methane was observed. And a linear relationship was obtained within the methane concentration range of 0.0-16.0% （v/v）. The detection limit was 0.06% （v/v）. The mode-filtered light sensor has been exploited to respond to various concentrations of methane gas at room temperature.展开更多

In this method, we divide ground points into grids with certain size and select the lowest points in the grids to reconstruct TIN in the process of iteration. Compared with the classic filter of progressive TIN densification（PTD）, the improved method can filter out attached objects, avoid the interference of low objects and obtain relatively smooth bare-earth. In addition, this proposed filter can reduce memory requirements and be more efficient in processing huge data volume. The experimental results show that the filtering accuracy and efficiency of this method is higher than that of the PTD method.展开更多

The transmitted optical carrier is modulated to be ultrashort pulsed laser and it is effective to suppress the backscattering to adopt the coherent detection technology by identifying the modulation envelope. A nonstationary light field is formed in seawater by the ultrashort pulsed laser. The inherent relationship between the nonstationary light field formed by modulated lidar and the stationary light field formed by conventional lidar was discussed and the backscattering light model of the stationary light field for the ultrashort pulsed laser was proposed. The backscattering signal in modulated lidar system was processed and analyzed in the frequency domain on the basis of the model.展开更多
