Quantum communication is a high secure and high efficiency communication method. The received laser beam in the quantum communication system must be coupled into the fibers, by which the communication signal can be detected, amplified and processed for the latter devices. However, atmospheric turbulence will degrade the spatial coherence of the laser beam and limits the fiber- coupling efficiency. In the paper, the propagation model of the laser beam through atmospheric turbulence is established and the fiber-coupling efficiency for the laser beam distorted by atmospheric turbulence is evaluated, and the optimal coupling geometry parameter a=1.12 is given, with which the theoretical maximal coupling efficiency is reached. Then the relationship between the atmospheric coherence constant r0 and the fiber-coupling efficiency is analyzed. The simulation also indicates that the fast steering mirror (FSM) can reduce the influence of the atmospheric turbulence and improve the coupling efficiency distinctly.
Synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) is a rapidly developing technique for earth observation. Differential InSAR (D-InSAR) technique, based on InSAR, is a method for earthquake deformation detection and land subsidence monitoring. A method of generation of interferogram for D-InSAR using adaptive contoured correlation interferometry is presented, which may directly generate an interferogram with almost no speckle noise or blurring. The data processing results of the Mani earthquake indicate that the proposed method can effectively reduce decorrelation noise, even in areas with serious decorrelation.
A new synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) data processing method comprehensively based on three parts of complex images is introduced. The method includes image pair registration and interferogram creation. These methods are improved and extended, and a set of integrated technology, which is named contoured correlation interferometry (CCI), is formed for the InSAR data processing. The CCI method needs only an arbitrary three parts of InSAR complex image pair to generate an interferogram without noise and blurring effect. The formulae of the CCI method are deduced and proved in a different way, the details and steps of the whole method are explained systemically, the algorithms for the calculation of fringe orientations are improved, and the discussions about selecting of parameters and comparing results of different methods are shown.
Coherence of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) complex image pair is a fundamental observable in interferometric radar measurements, which is usually measured by comparing the radar return across several nearby radar image pixels and has found diverse applications. This paper proposes a coherence estimation method which requires three arbitrary parts of the two complex images to implement interference. The proposed method can also be used to co-register InSAR image pair, which means that the imaginary part of the master image can be left away. In addition, an improved quality-guided phase unwrapping method is forwarded with the quality map generated by the coherence estimation method we have recommended above. A look-up table is adopted to reduce the processing time. The experimental results show that both methods are effective and greatly reduce the phase unwrapping time compared with the existing quality-guided methods.

Coherent beam combination of fiber laser arrays plays an important role in realizing high power, high radiance fiber laser
systems. The stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm is a newly developed optimization method using the
technique of parallel perturbation and stochastic approximation and it is expected that this algorithm can reduce the cost
and complexity of a high power fiber laser system when incorporated in its beam combination scheme. In this paper, a
numerical simulation model about the fiber laser beam combination system is then established based on beam-quality-metric optimization method. The SPGD algorithm is introduced and used to realize the beam-quality-metric
maximization, leading to the maximum output power of the fiber laser system. The results of numerical simulation
indicate that the far-field beam intensity optimization method using SPGD algorithm can realize coherent beam
combination of fiber laser arrays effectively.
The feasibility of realizing beam cleanup of high power lasers using stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD)
wavefront control method has been demonstrated numerically. The numerical model of an adaptive optics system
comprising a 44-element deformable mirror and a far-field system performance metric sensor is first setup which
operates with the SPGD wavefront control method. The system is then used to correct for the dynamic aberrations of a
laser beam where the phase screens of the beam are constructed from the simulation data of a high power laser system
and are introduced into the light wave time sequentially according to the iteration rate of the SPGD wavefront controller.
The correction results show that the beam cleanup system investigated here can effectively compensate for the dynamic
aberrations of the laser beam involved.
