At certain wavelengths, single-pixel imaging is considered to be a solution that can achieve high quality imaging and also reduce costs. However, achieving imaging of complex scenes is an overhead-intensive process for single-pixel imaging systems, so low efficiency and high consumption are the biggest obstacles to their practical application. Improving efficiency to reduce overhead is the solution to this problem. Salient object detection is usually used as a pre-processing step in computer vision tasks, mimicking human functions in complex natural scenes, to reduce overhead and improve efficiency by focusing on regions with a large amount of information. Therefore, in this paper, we explore the implementation of salient object detection based on single-pixel imaging after a single pixel, and propose a scheme to reconstruct images based on Fourier bases and use U²Net models for salient object detection.

Optical wireless communication, or free space optics, is a promising solution for backhauls in sixth-generation mobile systems. However, the susceptibility of optical links to weather conditions has led to FSO links being furnished with radio frequency (RF) backups. These Hybrid FSO/RF systems provide enhanced link availability but lead to RF resource wastage. Cognitive radio technology, in contrast, is well known for its optimal use of RF resources and may be combined with an FSO link to create a Cognitive Hybrid FSO/RF system. This work uses such a system to analyze a configuration for a mobile backhaul in sixth-generation mobile systems. This configuration can seamlessly coexist with established large scale RF cellular networks. The performance of this configuration is analyzed with respect to outage probability and average bit error by considering the impact of optical channel turbulence, misalignment loss, RF interference, and noise. Mathematical closed-form expressions are verified by simulations.

A typical terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system requires large, expensive, and heavy hardware such as a lock-in amplifier and a function generator. In this study, we replaced the lock-in amplifier and the function generator with a single sound card built into a typical desktop computer to significantly reduce the system size, weight, and cost. The sound card serves two purposes: 1 kHz chopping signal generation and raw data acquisition. A unique software lock-in (Python coding program to eliminate noise from raw data) method was developed and successfully extracted THz time-domain signals with a signal-to-noise ratio of ~40,000 (the intensity ratio between the peak and average noise levels). The built-in sound card with the software lock-in method exhibited sufficiently good performance compared with the hardware-based method.

We designed a combined nanostructure of inverted pyramidal pits and nanoparticles, which can obtain much stronger field enhancement than traditional periodic pits or nanoparticles. The field enhancement |E|/|E₀| is greater than 10 in a large area at 750-820 nm in incident wavelength. |E_max|/|E₀| is greater than 60. Moreover, the hot spot is obtained outside the pits instead of localized inside them, which is beneficial for experiments such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering. The relations between resonant wavelength and structural parameters are investigated. The resonant wavelength shows a linear dependence on the structure's period, which provides a direct way to tune the resonant wavelength. The excitation of a propagating surface plasmon on the periodic structure's surface, a localized surface plasmon of nanoparticles, and a standing-wave effect contribute to the enhancement.

Enhanced reconstruction of heavy occluded objects was represented using estimation of variance in computational integral imaging. The system is analyzed to extract information of enhanced reconstruction from an elemental images set. To obtain elemental images with enhanced resolution, low focus error, and large depth of focus, synthetic aperture integral imaging (SAII) utilizing a digital camera has been adopted. The focused areas of the reconstructed image are varied with the distance of the reconstruction plane. When an occluded object is occluded heavily, an occluded object can not be reconstructed by removing the occluding object. To obtain reconstruction of the occluded object by remedying the effect of heavy occlusion, the statistical technique has been adopted.

We present a novel concept of a phase-shifting diffraction-grating interferometer, which is intended for the optical testing of concave mirrors with high precision. The interferometer is configured with a single reflective diffraction grating, which performs multiple functions of beam splitting, beam recombination, and phase shifting. The reference and test wave fronts are generated by means of reflective diffraction at the focal plane of a microscope objective with large numerical aperture, which allows testing fast mirrors with low f-numbers. The fiber-optic confocal design is adopted for the microscope objective to focus a converging beam on the diffractive grating, which greatly reduces the alignment error between the focusing optics and the diffraction grating. Translating the grating provides phase shifting, which allows measurement of the figure errors of the test mirror to nanometer accuracy.

An asymptotic solution of electromagnetic waves scattered by a right-angled dielectric wedge for plane wave incidence is obtained. Scattered fields are constructed by waves reflected and refracted from dielectric interfaces (geometric-optical fields) and a cylindrical wave diffracted from the edge. The edge diffracted field is obtained by adding a correction to the edge diffraction of physical optics approximation, where the correction field is calculated by solving a dual series equation amenable to simple numerical calculation. Validity of this result is assured by two limits of relative dielectric constant $\varepsilon$ of the wedge. The total asymptotic field calculated results in a Rawlins' Neumann series solution for small $\varepsilon$, and the edge diffraction pattern is shown to approach that of a perfectly conducting wedge for large $\varepsilon$. Calculated field patterns are presented and the accuracy of physical optics approximation is discussed.

A multi-branch thermo-optic switch has a problem that driving powers in the switching states are different from each other; the power consumption for the inner output port is more than twice as large as that form the outer output port. In this pater, to solve this problem unequal width heaters and the waveguide structure with a thin overcladding layer are proposed in a four-branch thermo-optic switch. The proposed structure is fabricated with the polymer materials with high index difference, Teflon and polyimides. The fabricated device was measured at the wavelength of 1550 nm. The measured characteristics exhibit the smaller difference in the power consumption between the switching states and the driving power les than the previous four-branch thermo-optic switch with equal width heaters. As for the device performance, the crosstalk is better than - 16 dB at about 310 ~ 390 mW, the insertion loss is 4.7 dB, and the switching time is less than 1 ms.

New lithography techniques are employed for the patterning of arbitrary shapes in nanometer scale. When, in the photolithography, the electromagnetic waves such as UV and X-ray are incident on the mask patterned in nanometer scale, the diffraction effect is unavoidable and degrades images of the mask imprinted on wafer. Only a convex lens is well-known Fourier transformer. It is possible to make the mask Fourier-transformed with the convex lens, even though the size of pattern on the mask is very large compared to the wavelength of electromagnetic wave. If the mask, modified according to new technique described in this paper, was placed at the front of the lens and was illuminated with laser beam, the nanometer-size patterns are only formed on the plane called Fourier transform plane. The new method presented here is quite simple setup and comparable with present and next generation lithographies such as UV/EUV photolithograpy and electron projection lithography when compared in attainable minimum linewidth. In this paper, we showed our theoretical research work in the field of Fourier optics, . In the near future, we are going to verify this theoretical work by experiments.
