Adding the Al-dopant to the Zinc Oxide crystal structure results in changes that affect the optical and nonlinear characteristics. Presented results indicate that the magnitude of X<sup>(3)</sup> was enhanced at single experimental wavelengths;however, across the broadband experimental spectrum, the effect of Al-doping remained relatively constant. The observed enhancement of third-order nonlinearity was purely from the bound electronic response. The observation is attributed to increased charge carriers and spontaneous polarization in the Zinc Oxide and Al-doped Zinc Oxide crystal structure.展开更多

In this paper we develop a theory for the spectral shape of the fringes of equal chromatic order (FECO) that are formed across a double-clad fiber. The modified single term Sellmeier dispersion formula is used to construct the refractive index dispersion curves for the liquid, claddings, and core. Expressions for the paraxial optical path length for several rays passing through the fiber and the liquid are developed. The condition of bright fringe is applied to get an analytical expression for the spectral shape of the FECO across a double-clad fiber with an elliptical/circular inner cladding. A potential application of this theory is to determine the dispersion of Kerr constant of the claddings and the core of the fiber. To illustrate the theory and its application, simulation examples are provided and discussed.展开更多

Focused on the demand of encoding, decoding, multiview registration and system calibration, we expect to obtain undistorted fringes from camera image. Therefore, in this paper, we analyze the accuracy and sampling density of projecting distortion calibration approach based on control point and fitting surface. Moreover, combining the characteristic of coded structured light system, we design encoded fringe projecting distortion calibration scheme based on simplified encoded structured light model. Primarily, we neglect the minor parameters that affect the calibration in structured light model to reduce complexity. Then, we build the correspondence between camera image points and projector image points and achieve the calibration. Finally, we design evaluation scheme of projecting distortion calibration with parallelism and equal interval, and verify the effectiveness and accuracy of the approach through visual effect and experimental data.展开更多

This study proposes a multi-level grid method that can efficiently achieve phase unwrapping. First, the phase image of the package to be processed is divided into small grids, and each grid is unwrapped in multiple directions. Then, a level-by-level coarse-graining mesh method is employed to eliminate the new data “faults”generated from the previous level of grid processing. Finally, the true phase results are obtained by iterating to the coarsest grid through the unwrapping process. In order to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, a numerical simulation is first applied. Further, three typical flow fields are selected for experiments, and the results are compared with flood-fill and multi-grid methods for accuracy and efficiency. The proposed method obtains true phase information in just 0.5 s;moreover, it offers more flexibility in threshold selection compared to the flood-fill and region-growing methods.In summary, the proposed method can solve the phase unwrapping problems for moiré fringes, which could provide possibilities for the intelligent development of moiré deflection tomography.展开更多

We present a homomorphic partial differential equation filtering method for interferometry fringe patterns. The diffusion speed of the equation is determined based on the fringe density. We test the new method on the computer-simulated fringe pattern and experimentally obtain the fringe pattern, and evaluate its filtering performance. The qualitative and quantitative analysis shows that this technique can filter off the additive and multiplicative noise of the fringe patterns effectively, and avoid blurring high-density fringe. It is more capable of improving the quality of fringe patterns than the classical filtering methods.展开更多

When the substrate shifts, a reference grating next to the substrate is used to adjust in real time the phase of the exposure interference fringes relative to the substrate. Shifting eliminates the exposure defects and therefore decreases the stray light of gratings. Several gratings are successfully made by using this method, which have straighter grooves,smoother surfaces, and lower stray light than gratings made in conventional interference lithography.展开更多

The phase difference signal obtained after phase demodulation is wrapped, which is also called a fringe jump. A method has been developed to unwrap the phase difference signal in real time using FPGA, specifically designed to handle fringe jumps in the hydrogen cyanide(HCN) laser interferometer on the EAST superconducting tokamak. This method is designed for a phase demodulator using the fast Fourier transform(FFT) method at the front end. The method is better adapted for hardware implementation compared to complex mathematical analysis algorithms, such as field programmable gate array(FPGA). It has been applied to process the phase measurement results of the HCN laser interferometer on EAST in real time. Electron density results show good confidence in the fringe jump unwrapping method. Further possible application in other laser interferometers, such as the POlarimeter-INTerferometer(POINT)system on EAST tokamak is also discussed.展开更多

文摘Phase unwrapping is a crucial process in the field of optical measurement, and the effectiveness of unwrapping directly affects the accuracy of final results. This study proposes a multi-level grid method that can efficiently achieve phase unwrapping. First, the phase image of the package to be processed is divided into small grids, and each grid is unwrapped in multiple directions. Then, a level-by-level coarse-graining mesh method is employed to eliminate the new data “faults”generated from the previous level of grid processing. Finally, the true phase results are obtained by iterating to the coarsest grid through the unwrapping process. In order to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, a numerical simulation is first applied. Further, three typical flow fields are selected for experiments, and the results are compared with flood-fill and multi-grid methods for accuracy and efficiency. The proposed method obtains true phase information in just 0.5 s;moreover, it offers more flexibility in threshold selection compared to the flood-fill and region-growing methods.In summary, the proposed method can solve the phase unwrapping problems for moiré fringes, which could provide possibilities for the intelligent development of moiré deflection tomography.

文摘Grating fringe projection 3D measurement techniques are extensively applied in various fields.However,in high dynamic range scenarios with significant surface reflectivity variations,uneven greyscale distribution may lead to phase errors and poor reconstruction results.To address this problem,an adaptive fringe projection method is introduced.The method involves projecting two sets of dark and light fringes onto the object,enabling the full-field projection intensity map to be generated adaptively based on greyscale analysis.First,dark fringes are projected onto the object to extend exposure time as long as possible without causing overexposure in the image.Subsequently,bright fringes are projected under the same exposure settings to detect overexposed pixels,and the greyscale distribution of these overexposed points from the previous dark fringe projection is analyzed to calculate the corresponding projection intensities.Finally,absolute phase information from orthogonal fringes is used for coordinate matching,enabling the generation of adaptive projection fringe patterns.Experiments on various high dynamic range objects show that compared to conventional fringe projection binocular reconstruction method,the proposed algorithm achieves complete reconstruction of high dynamic range surfaces and shows robust performance against phase calculation errors caused by overexposure and low modulation.

文摘Recent advancements in artificial intelligence have transformed three-dimensional(3D)optical imaging and metrology,enabling high-resolution and high-precision 3D surface geometry measurements from one single fringe pattern projection.However,the imaging speed of conventional fringe projection profilometry(FPP)remains limited by the native sensor refresh rates due to the inherent"one-to-one"synchronization mechanism between pattern projection and image acquisition in standard structured light techniques.Here,we present dual-frequency angular-multiplexed fringe projection profilometry(DFAMFPP),a deep learning-enabled 3D imaging technique that achieves high-speed,high-precision,and large-depth-range absolute 3D surface measurements at speeds 16 times faster than the sensor's native frame rate.By encoding multi-timeframe 3D information into a single multiplexed image using multiple pairs of dual-frequency fringes,high-accuracy absolute phase maps are reconstructed using specially trained two-stage number-theoretical-based deep neural networks.We validate the effectiveness of DFAMFPP through dynamic scene measurements,achieving 10,000 Hz 3D imaging of a running turbofan engine prototype with only a 625 Hz camera.By overcoming the sensor hardware bottleneck,DFAMFPP significantly advances high-speed and ultra-high-speed 3D imaging,opening new avenues for exploring dynamic processes across diverse scientific disciplines.

文摘In this work,the incorporation of tantalum(Ta)into p-type metal-oxide(SnO_(x))semiconductor film is investigated to improve the electrical characteristics and suppress the fringe effect of thin film transistors(TFTs).The Ta-doped SnO_(x)(SnO_(x):Ta)film is deposited by radio-frequency(RF)magnetron sputtering with a Sn:Ta(3 at.%)target and thermally annealed at 270℃ for 30 min.Here,we observe that the SnO_(x):Ta film presents increased crystallinity,reduced defect density(3.25×10^(12)cm^(−2)·eV^(−1)),and widened bandgap(1.98 eV),in comparison with the undoped SnO_(x)film.As a result,the SnO_(x):Ta TFTs exhibit a lower off-state current(Ioff),an improved on/off current ratio(2.17×10^(4)),a remarkably decreased subthreshold swing(SS)by 41%,and enhanced device stability.Additionally,by introducing Ta dopants,the fringe effect as well as the impact of channel width-to-length ratio(W/L)on electrical performances of the p-type oxide TFTs can be effectively suppressed.These results shall contribute to further exploration and development of p-type SnO_(x)TFTs.

文摘This research proposes a simple and practical method to make low-stray-light gratings, where the substrate shifts about a 1 mm distance in the direction parallel or perpendicular to the exposure interference fringes. When the substrate shifts, a reference grating next to the substrate is used to adjust in real time the phase of the exposure interference fringes relative to the substrate. Shifting eliminates the exposure defects and therefore decreases the stray light of gratings. Several gratings are successfully made by using this method, which have straighter grooves,smoother surfaces, and lower stray light than gratings made in conventional interference lithography.
文摘Purpose:The metropolitan cities of Johannesburg,Ekurhuleni and Tshwane play an important role in the economy of the Gauteng province in South Africa.The region constitutes to 22.4 percent of the total population of South Africa and has a strong presence and contributes in areas of manufacturing sector,financial and business services,retail and wholesale trade,etc.The rapid urban population,increase in the informal settlements and socio-economic opportunities has resulted in considerable urban sprawl in and around the urban fringe areas of these metropolitan cities.The urban fringe areas of these metros often come under the influence of rapid urbanization process and pressures.Coupled with the economical and potential land dynamics and lack of priority of spatial development guidelines,these areas attract rapid and haphazard development from communities and developers.Research Design/Methodology:This research is based on a qualitative approach through a comprehensive literature review that included content analysis of key documents on housing sector such as IDPs(Integrated Development Plans),Municipal Annual Reports,Growth Development Strategies,and among other sectoral documents on housing sector.Some of the key priority issues considered in the housing sector included:eradication of housing backlogs,spatial restructuring of housing,provision of choice in terms of location,tenure and housing typology.Findings:The current paper discusses the approaches of metropolitan housing development processes in three metropolitan cities of South Africa from Gauteng region,namely:Johannesburg,Ekurhuleni and Tshwane.The paper discusses the existing housing sectoral scenario along with the fringe areas in three cities with focus on:formal and informal settlements,housing segregation and the backlogs,current institutional arrangements,role of public private participation,and scope for alternate mechanisms.The paper concludes in discussion on sustainable development options for housing development in urban fringe areas.

文摘Electron density in fusion plasma is usually diagnosed using laser-aided interferometers. The phase difference signal obtained after phase demodulation is wrapped, which is also called a fringe jump. A method has been developed to unwrap the phase difference signal in real time using FPGA, specifically designed to handle fringe jumps in the hydrogen cyanide(HCN) laser interferometer on the EAST superconducting tokamak. This method is designed for a phase demodulator using the fast Fourier transform(FFT) method at the front end. The method is better adapted for hardware implementation compared to complex mathematical analysis algorithms, such as field programmable gate array(FPGA). It has been applied to process the phase measurement results of the HCN laser interferometer on EAST in real time. Electron density results show good confidence in the fringe jump unwrapping method. Further possible application in other laser interferometers, such as the POlarimeter-INTerferometer(POINT)system on EAST tokamak is also discussed.
