A support vector regression (SVR) system is proposed for recognizing chemical compounds characterized by
near infrared molecular absorption spectrometry. The results demonstrate SVR system has a high reliability in
the trace gas detection field.
A novel concept of cavity ring-up (CRU) spectroscopy is proposed for trace gas detection in an amplified fiber loop.
Based on a rate equation approach, the time-evolving CRU signals in the fiber gas sensing loop are studied. The features
of CRU output signals are numerically simulated and discussed. Those systemical studies and theoretical analyses will
guide the future design of the fiber cavity ring-up gas sensing system.
A hybrid guiding liquid-crystal photonic crystal fiber is proposed, in which two polarization components (Ex and Ey) are
confined by modified total internal reflection and bandgap guidance, respectively. With the aid of scalar wave
approximation, the distinct features in band structures of liquid-crystal photonic bandgap fibers are successfully
identified. This hybrid guiding feature makes it possible to achieve single-polarization single-mode guiding and high
birefringence guiding effect in different wavelength ranges. Particularly, high birefringence in an order of 10-2 can be
easily obtained.
We report experimental results on an efficient singly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO) based on periodically poled MgO-doped LiNbO3. The OPO was pumped by a diode-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:GdVO4 laser, which could produce 3-ns laser pulses with a repetition rate of 5 kHz. By changing the crystal temperature and grating periods, the OPO generated signal and idler output in the ranges of 1.41 to 1.78 µm and 2.7 to 4.3 µm, respectively. The maximum output power at the signal wavelength of 1.55 µm was 35.4 mW with 120-mW pump power. The possibility of using the OPO for trace gas detection was demonstrated through measuring the absorption spectra of methane.
We report on the use of the temperature-tuned optical parametric oscillator for trace gas detection. A synchronization trace gas detection system was designed and demonstrated, in which the measuring errors caused by the instability of the OPO could be greatly reduced. The trace gas detection system was based on a periodically poled MgO-doped LiNbO3 optical parametric oscillator (OPO) which was pumped by a diode-pumped passively Q-switched Nd:GdVO4 laser. The OPO could produce wavelength-tunable signal output through changing the crystal temperature and the grating periods. The usefulness of the trace gas detection system for spectroscopy was demonstrated by directly measuring the photon absorption spectrum of the methane and acetylene gas cells.
Support vector machine (SVM), is proposed to enhance the measurement accuracy of a temperature-tuning optical parametric oscillator (OPO) gas sensing system. The experimental results demonstrate that the minimum detecting concentration after the use of SVM decreases by more than 8 times.
This paper reports a novel method for measuring the effective refractive index (RI) of single living cell with a small integrated chip. This microchip is able to determine the RI of living cell in real time without extra requirements of fluorescence labeling and chemical treatments, offering low cost and high accuracy meanwhile. It might provide an efficient approach for diseases or cancer diagnosis. The measurement system integrates laser diode, microlenses, and microfluidic channels onto a monolithic chip. In the experiments, two standard polystyrene beads with nominal RIs are employed to calibrate the system and five types of cancerous cells are subsequently measured. The results indicate that the RI of the tested cells ranges from 1.392 to 1.401, which is larger than typical value 1.35-1.37 for normal cells.
A general analysis of an inserted LPG in air-clad PCF for temperature and strain measurement is presented. The temperature and strain can be detected simultaneously by matrix inversion. The maximum temperature errors are 3oC and 0.8oC in the temperature ranges from 35oC to 50oC and 90oC to 120oC, respectively. The corresponding maximum strain errors are 250με and 135με in the strain range from 0 to 3000με respectively.
An erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) gain flattening technique using an embedded long period grating (ELPG) is proposed. By bending the ELPG, because the different bending curvature yields the different coupling strength, it is used for the dynamic gain flattening despite the different pump power on the EDFA. The flattened gain region of 35nm can be achieved with 1dB ripple.

The mathematical model of a cavity ring-down (CRD) fiber amplified loop gas sensing system is initially proposed. A digital least mean square (LMS) adaptive filter is designed to remove an amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise induced by an erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) effectively. The simulation results show that the minimum measurement concentration of 18ppm is obtained.
We report a novel clinometer (or tilt sensor) by using three fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). It can detect the magnitude as well as the direction of the inclination from the horizontal direction by directly measuring the reflected optical powers of the FBGs, whose bandwidths vary with the inclination. The experimental results show that it is inherently insensitive to temperature, eliminating the need for compensation of temperature, and a tilt angle measurement accuracy of ±0.13° and resolution of 0.02° have been achieved.
