A wireless optical power transfer (WOPT) system using an erbium-doped fiber amplifier as an optical power source is proposed to achieve long range, high power, and hazard-free power delivery in the air. The transmitter generates a wide band of amplified spontaneous emission around the central wavelength of 1550 nm. A wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) filter (λ=1552.25 nm) is deployed to obtain a safe narrowband beam illuminating the receiver units. A ball lens retroreflector reflects a small portion of the incident beam back to the transmitter, establishing a closed ring resonance loop. An improved safety mechanism is proposed to terminate the resonance when an obstacle blocks the transmitter-receiver line of sight. The measured incident power of 1 W decreases to 0.79 mW after the WDM filter is deployed which is well within defined maximum permissible exposure standards. For the demonstration of free-space transmission, transmitter-receiver separation is extended to 30 m. The experimental results show that a single-channel WOPT system provides an optical power of 400 mW with a channel linewidth of 1.027 nm over 30 m and an electrical power of 85 mW is acquired using a gallium antimonide photovoltaic.

A moving ground-target recognition system can monitor suspicious activities of pedestrians and vehicles in key areas. Currently, most target recognition systems are based on devices such as fiber optics, radar, and vibration sensors. A system based on vibration sensors has the advantages of small size, low power consumption, strong concealment, easy installation, and low power consumption.

This paper presents an automated method for solving the initial structure of compact, high-zoom-ratio mid-wave infrared (MWIR) zoom lenses. Using differential analysis, the focal length variation process of zoom lenses under paraxial conditions is investigated, and a model for the focal power distribution and relative motion of three movable lens groups is established. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is introduced into the zooming process analysis, and a program is developed in MATLAB to solve for the initial structure.

This paper presents an approach for event recognition in sequential images using human body part features and their surrounding context. Key body points were approximated to track and monitor their presence in complex scenarios. Various feature descriptors, including MSER (Maximally Stable Extremal Regions), SURF (Speeded-Up Robust Features), distance transform, and DOF (Degrees of Freedom), were applied to skeleton points, while BRIEF (Binary Robust Independent Elementary Features), HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients), FAST (Features from Accelerated Segment Test), and Optical Flow were used on silhouettes or full-body points to capture both geometric and motion-based features.

Low-power gas sensors that can be used in IoT (Internet of Things) systems, consumer devices, and point-of-care devices will enable new applications in environmental monitoring and health protection. We fabricated a monolithic chemiresistive gas sensor by integrating a micro-lightplate with a 2D sensing material composed of single-layer graphene and monolayer-thick TiO. Applying ultraviolet (380 nm) light with quantum energy above the TiO bandgap effectively enhanced the sensor responses.

In this study, we present a dual-hop decode-and-forward relaying-based free-space optical (FSO) communication system. We consider utilizing simultaneous lightwave information and power transfer (SLIPT) with a time-splitting technique at the relay, where the direct current component of the received optical signal is harvested as a transmit power for the relay. It is assumed that the FSO links experience a Malaga turbulence channel with pointing errors.
