The performance of an adaptive interferometer based on mixing of light waves with different polarization states in a photorefractive GaP crystal at lambda=0.633mum is described. Both high sensitivity and fast response time are achieved with a low-power He-Ne laser. The parameters of the interferometer are appropriate for remote ultrasound detection in an industrial environment.

With careful design and integration, microring resonators can serve as a promising foundation for developing compact and scalable sources of non-classical light for quantum information processing. However, the current design flow is hindered by computational challenges and a complex, high-dimensional parameter space with interdependent variables. In this work, we present a knowledge-integrated machine learning framework based on Bayesian Optimization for designing squeezed light sources using microring resonators.

We provide a technical description and experimental results of the practical development and offline testing of an innovative, closed-loop, adaptive mirror system capable of making rapid, precise and ultra-stable changes in the size and shape of reflected X-ray beams generated at synchrotron light and free-electron laser facilities. The optical surface of a piezoelectric bimorph deformable mirror is continuously monitored at 20 kHz by an array of interferometric sensors. This matrix of height data is autonomously converted into voltage commands that are sent at 1 Hz to the piezo actuators to modify the shape of the mirror optical surface.

A phase demodulation algorithm based on an adaptive polar transform is proposed that can achieve picometer-scale measurements in orbital angular momentum (OAM) interferometry. The proposed algorithm converts the rotational movement in a petal-shaped interference pattern into translational movement of the grayscale projection curves, so that can be easily measured using correlation operations to determine the pixel displacement in determining the rotation angle. Displacements ranging from -120 nm to 120 nm have been measured for various topological charges, with a minimum average deviation of 0.

The water-absorbent sensing film, coated on the surface of traditional optical fiber humidity sensors, often suffers from detachment issues. In this paper, we present what we believe to be a new fiber-optic cascaded Fabry-Perot interferometer sensor for detecting relative humidity (RH) and temperature, without the need for sophisticated instrumentation. The sensing structure comprises two sections of single-mode optical fibers and a C-shaped cavity between them.

Currently, there are various types of microscales and the conventional line detection system usually has only one detection method, which is difficult to adapt to the diverse calibration needs of microscales. This article investigates the high-precision measurement method of a microscale based on optoelectronics and the image integration method to solve the diversified calibration needs of microscales. The automatic measurement and processing system integrates two methods: the photoelectric signal measurement method and the photoelectric image measurement method.
