In this paper, we propose a new method for coding a full complex hologram with random phase. Since holograms with random phase have very unique spatial and frequency characteristics, a new compression method suitable for such holograms is required. We analyze the frequency characteristics of holograms with random phases and propose a new adaptive discrete wavelet transform (aDWT). Next, we propose a new modified zerotree alogrithm (mZTA) suitable for the subband configuration generated by the modified wavelet transform method. The results of the compression using the proposed method showed higher efficiency than the previous method, and the reconstructed images showed visually superior results.Metasurfaces provide an extraordinary way to control electromagnetic waves by abrupt change of optical properties within an optically thin interface. In this paper, by introducing vanadium dioxide (VO2) into the metasurface, efficient tunable terahertz phase modulation is designed to realize independent control of linearly and circularly polarized terahertz waves. The working resonator of the metasurface can be adjustable by controlling the temperature of VO2, resulting in the tunable function between resonant phase for linearly polarized waves and Pancharatnam-Berry phase for circularly polarized waves. As a proof of concept, two metasurfaces are designed for integrating two distinct functionalities in one structure, i.e. 1-bit metasurface switched between the abnormal THz deflector and the THz scatter and 3-bit metasurface switched between the vortex THz transmitter and the THz focusing mirror. The proposed tunable resonator structure provides a flexible way for extending the functionality of metadevice, which has a great potential value in integrated optics and wearable optics.We present a method to deterministically obtain broad bandwidth frequency combs in microresonators. These broadband frequency combs correspond to cnoidal waves in the limit when they can be considered soliton crystals or single solitons. The method relies on moving adiabatically through the (frequency detuning)×(pump amplitude) parameter space, while avoiding the chaotic regime. We consider in detail Si3N4 microresonators with small or intermediate dimensions and an SiO2 microresonator with large dimensions, corresponding to prior experimental work. We also discuss the impact of thermal effects on the stable regions for the cnoidal waves. Their principal effect is to increase the detuning for all the stable regions, but they also skew the stable regions, since higher pump power corresponds to higher power and hence increased temperature and detuning. The change in the detuning is smaller for single solitons than it is for soliton crystals. Without temperature effects, the stable regions for single solitons and soliton crystals almost completely overlap. When thermal effects are included, the stable region for single solitons separates from the stable regions for the soliton crystals, explaining in part the effectiveness of backwards-detuning to obtaining single solitons.Inspired by the robust capability and outstanding performance of convolutional neural networks (CNN) in image classification tasks, CNN-based hyperspectral face recognition methods are worthy of further exploration. However, hyperspectral imaging poses new challenges including high data dimensionality and interference between bands on spectral dimension. High data dimensionality can result in high computational costs. Moreover, not all bands are equally informative and discriminative. The usage of a useless spectral band may even introduce noises and weaken the performance. For the sake of solving those problems, we proposed a novel CNN framework, which adopted a channel-wise attention mechanism and Lasso algorithm to select the optimal spectral bands. The framework is termed as the sparse spectral channel-wise attention-based network (SSCANet) where the SSCA-block focuses on the inter-band channel relationship. Different from other methods which usually select the useful bands manually or in a greedy fashion, SSCA-block can adaptively recalibrate spectral bands by selectively emphasizing informative bands and suppressing less useful ones. Especially, a Lasso constraint strategy can zero out the bands during the training of the network, which can boost the training process by making the weights of bands sparser. Finally, we evaluate the performance of the proposed method in comparison of other state-of-the-art hyperspectral face recognition algorithms on three public datasets HK-PolyU, CMU, and UWA. The experimental results demonstrate that SSCANet based method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for face recognition on the benchmark.Generation of terahertz radiation by optical rectification of intense near-infrared laser pulses in N-benzyl-2-methyl-4-nitroaniline (BNA) is investigated in detail by carrying out a complete characterization of the terahertz radiation. selleckchem We studied the scaling of THz yield with pump pulse repetition rate and fluence which enabled us to predict the optimal operating conditions for BNA crystals at room temperature for 800 nm pump wavelength. Furthermore, recording the transmitted laser spectrum allowed us to calculate the nonlinear refractive index of BNA at 800 nm.Due to the characteristics of photon-counting LIDAR, there exists range walk error (RWE) when the intensity of the signal fluctuates. In this paper, an effective method to rectify underwater RWE was proposed. The method allows the separation of signal detections from noise detections, and based on a prior model, the method can compensate for RWE. An underwater experiment verified its feasibility and results showed RWE of three parts in a plane was reduced from 75mm to 7mm, from 45mm to 3mm and from 5mm to 0mm, respectively, even when the rate of backscatter photons reached 4.8MHz. The proposed correction method is suitable for high precision underwater photon-counting 3D imaging application, especially when the signal intensity varies sharply.We experimentally investigate the parametric down-conversion process in a nonlinear bulk crystal, driven by two non-collinear pump modes. The experiment shows the emergence of bright hot-spots in modes shared by the two pumps, similar to the phenomenology recently observed in 2D nonlinear photonic crystals. By exploiting the spatial walk-off between the two extraordinary pump modes, we have been able to recreate a peculiar resonance condition, reported by a local enhancement of the parametric gain, which corresponds to a transition from a three-mode to a four-mode coupling. From a quantum point of view, this opens the way to the generation of multimode entangled states of light, such as tripartite or quadripartite states, in simple bulk nonlinear sources.selleckchem
