Achieving precise spatiotemporal synchronization between laser pulses and tin droplets is essential for generating stable, high-conversion-efficiency radiation in laser-produced plasma extreme ultraviolet light sources. This requires accurate position measurements of tin droplets to trigger laser pulses. Given the droplets' small size, high velocity, high repetition rates, and strong background noise in extreme ultraviolet (EUV) systems, droplet positioning demands exceptional accuracy, speed, and noise immunity. To address this challenge, we propose a droplet spatial positioning measurement technology (DSPMT) featuring a two-dimensional subpixel localization method based on Fourier-based frequency phase shift (FBFPS). The method features high positioning accuracy, real-time performance, and noise resistance. Simulation results demonstrate its superiority over conventional subpixel localization methods in both precision and speed, with enhanced noise robustness. In droplet-triggered laser shooting experiments, the localization error remained below 1.1 mu m, whereas the processing time was within 10 mu s per frame. Compared with conventional methods, the computation speed increased by 33.12%, and the positioning accuracy improved by 35.86%. Following the implementation of the FBFPS method, the DSPMT not only achieves high-speed and high-accuracy droplet localization but also facilitates two critical functionalities in the spatiotemporal synchronization shooting system of EUV light sources, including droplet velocity measurement and shooting accuracy evaluation.
Yam is a kind of traditional Chinese medicine which contains many substances. It is of great significance to ensure the safe use of yam. In this article, the Raman peaks of the three pesticides, i. e., fenthion, triazophos, and thiram, were calculated by Gaussview/Gaussian09w. By combining with the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) of the standard pesticide solutions, the Raman characteristic peaks of these three pesticides are determined. The pesticide residues of fenthion, triazophos, and thiram in yam were studied by using the selfassembled confocal Raman microscope as the detection device, and the gold nanosol was used as the enhanced substrate of SERS. The volume ratio of pesticides, hydrochloric acid, and gold sol particles was optimized experimentally. The experimental results show that the Raman peak bands of fenthion pesticide are around 717, 1050, and 1221 cm(-1), the lowest detection limit is 1 mg . L-1, and the linearity R between the intensity of Raman peak and fenthion pesticide concentration is 0. 9762 within the fenthion concentration range of 5. 15 mg . L-1. The Raman peak bands of triazophos are around 611, 978, 1001, 1321, 1408, and 1597 cm(-1), the minimum detection limit is 1 mg.L-1, and the linearity is 0. 9087 within the concentration range of 5. 9 mg.L-1. The Raman peak bands of thiram are around 556, 865, 1146, and 1506 cm(-1), the minimum detection limit is 0. 1 mg.L-1, and the linearity is 0. 9905 within the concentration of 0. 20 mg.L-1. It is expected that the rapid on-site detection of pesticide residues in traditional Chinese medicines can be realized by using gold as the enhanced substrate for SERS.

Library-based matching recognition is the key to the application of Raman spectroscopy for material composition identification, which directly affects the accuracy of matching results. For the library matching, especially for the mixture spectrum, the single matching feature can not fully reflect the similarity between the measured sample spectrum and the spectral spectrum in the library. The spectral matching needs to comprehensively consider multiple matching features. In this paper, a new spectral integration matching method is proposed by using the logistic regression mathematical model to fuse the peak matching coefficient, the non-negative least squares matching coefficient and the cosine matching coefficient. The new method takes into account both the spectral peak information and full spectrum information of the sample. The experiment results based on the Raman spectroscopy library matching of 20 kinds of amino acid mixtures show that the spectral integration matching method has lower false positive rate.
In recent years, portable spectrometer technology has developed rapidly. Compared with the traditional spectrometer, CCD spectrometer in the spectral collection of the way there have been two changes : (1) The signal is superposed and integrated to generate the spectrum, and the traditional SNR estimation method cannot obtain the detector fluctuation by a single detection. (2) For the spectral noise, the detector responses to random fluctuations and scanning repetitive errors are transformed into differences in pixel response of the CCD detector, detector random noise and mode noise related to the resolution of the optical system. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to propose a more adaptive spectral quality assessment method based on the measured spectrum. According to the changes of Raman spectrometer detector, we analyze the components of the collected spectral signal, and put forward the noise model assumptions of CCD spectrometer on the basis of the analysis. According to this assumption, different signal extremum frequencies are used to separate different noise pixels and the noise frequency mode is numerically simulated. The simulation results are consistent with the assumptions. On the basis of this, we propose and experimentally validate the method for evaluating SNR of Raman spectroscopy to estimate spectral line noise through spectral line spacing. The method includes the following two steps : (1) Collecting multiple measured spectra for superposition, counting the number of spectral extreme points corresponding to different frequencies in the superposition process, and obtaining the statistical results to separate the environmental noise and dark noise in the spectrometer; (2)Applying the above separation results, the statistical average of the spectral line extreme points corresponding to the dark noise in the measured spectrum is calculated, and then the SNR is calculated according to the formula in the text. After the preliminary preparation of step (1), the method can evaluate the random noise of the CCD Raman spectrometer through a single spectrum and evaluate the spectral SNR. In this paper, three Raman spectroscopy systems with the same optical structure and different CCD detectors are used to experiment. By using this method, the spectral quality is controlled by setting the SNR threshold, and a uniform spectral curve is obtained. Based on the method proposed in this paper, the SNR is fitted to the synchronization overlapping average algorithm, and the goodness of fit is up to 98%. The method can be used to evaluate the performance of Raman spectrometer and acquire real-time quality control of Raman spectrum. Theoretical and experimental results show that for the CCD detector-based Raman spectrometer, the SNR can be obtained based on this method when determining the sample and the characteristic peak. The method can also be used to compare different configurations of Raman spectroscopy equipment and as a standard to control the quality of spectra.
Peak detection is an important step in the chemical identification by Raman spectroscopy. At present, most peak detection methods have finite identification ability on overlapping peaks, especially for the spectrum measured by the portable spectrometer with low resolution. In this paper, an improved method is proposed that using continuous wavelet transform(CWT) peak detection method based on a new wavelet on the deconvolved Raman spectrum. The new wavelet has smaller linewidth and is more similar with the intrinsic line profile of Raman spectroscopy, Lorentz line profile. So it has advantages on overlapping peaks detection. The proposed method was evaluated by Raman spectrum of solid amino acid mixtures. The results show that it is better at detecting overlapping peaks than the other two wavelets.
Peak detection is a particularly important pre-processing step in chemical identification using Raman spectra. At present, most peak detection methods have limited applicability when there are overlapping peaks, especially the spectrum measured by portable spectrometers with low resolution. In this paper, an improved method is proposed based on the application of continuous wavelet transform (CWT) peak detection using a new wavelet to the deconvolved Raman spectrum. The new wavelet has a smaller linewidth and is more similar to the intrinsic Lorentz line profile of the Raman spectrum. It, therefore, has several advantages with regard to the detection of overlapping peaks. The proposed method was evaluated using the Raman spectrum of solid amino acid mixtures, and the results show that it is better at detecting overlapping peaks than the two other investigated wavelets. The receiver operating characteristic curves show that this method can detect more true peaks while maintaining a low false discovery rate. Moreover, the maximum of the true positive rate is the largest in the new approach, which indicates better performance for overlapping peak detection.
Atomic clocks based on laser-cooled atoms are widely used as primary frequency standards. Deploying such cold atom clocks (CACs) in space is foreseen to have many applications. Here we present tests of a CAC operating in space. In orbital microgravity, the atoms are cooled, trapped, launched, and finally detected after being interrogated by a microwave field using the Ramsey method. Perturbing influences from the orbital environment on the atoms such as varying magnetic fields and the passage of the spacecraft through Earth’s radiation belt are also controlled and mitigated. With appropriate parameters settings, closed-loop locking of the CAC is realized in orbit and an estimated short-term frequency stability close to 3.0 × 10 −13 τ −1/2 has been attained. The demonstration of the long-term operation of cold atom clock in orbit opens possibility on the applications of space-based cold atom sensors.
Aimed at eliminating the fluorescence interference from containers of the sample in the detection of Raman spectroscopy, a dual-axis confocal detection scheme is proposed based on the characteristic that the fluorescence generated by the container and the Raman signal of the sample arc not confocal. The experimental results show that the fluorescence interference signals from the container arc reduced by an order of magnitude, and the intensity of Raman signal decreases by about 30%. The dual-axis confocal Raman detection scheme can solve the mixed reception problem of Raman signal and fluorescence in the conventional coaxial confocal Raman detection scheme, solve the limitation of the dynamic detection range of Raman signal caused by the fluorescence interference, and achieve the effective detection of Raman signal of the material in fluorescent material containers.
A new discrimination algorithm of Raman spectral peaks is proposed. With Voigt function as the fitting function, the spectral peaks obtained after the ridge peak detection based on the wavelet transformation are fitted. The similarity of spectral peaks before and after fitting is taken as the basis for discrimination of spectral peaks. The Raman signal with amplitude comparable to that of noise is effectively discriminated. Compared with those of the existing two discrimination methods of spectral peaks, the true positive rate of the proposed method improves by 60% when the false data rate is 5% and the false data rate of the proposed method decreases by 10% when the true positive rate is higher than 90%.
Since the atomic clock was invented, its performance has been improved for one digit every decade until 90s of last century when the traditional atomic clock almost reached its limit. With laser cooled atoms, the performance can be further improved, and nowadays the cold atom based clocks are widely used as primary frequency standards. Such a kind of cold atom clocks has great applications in space. This paper presents the design and tests of a cold atom clock (CAC) operating in space. In microgravity, the atoms are cooled, trapped, launched and finally detected after being interrogated by microwave field with Ramsey method. The results of laser cooling of atoms in microgravity in orbit are presented and compared with that on ground for the first time. That the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of obtained central Ramsey fringes varies linearly with launching velocity of cold atoms shows the effects of microgravity. With appropriate parameters, a closed-loop locking of the CAC is realized in orbit and the estimated short term frequency stability of 3.0× 10 ^-13/√(τ) has been reached.

To verify its performance, the optical system is carefully checked before and after each test. The results indicate that this optical system is suitably robust for the space applications for which the rubidium SCAC was built.

We demonstrate a tunable wavelength-locked seed laser source with high-frequency stability to realize the precise measurements of global atmospheric wind field. An Nd:YAG laser at 1 064 nm is used as the master laser (ML). Its frequency is locked to a confocal Fabry-Perot interferometer by using the Pound-Drever-Hall method, which ensures the peak-to-peak value of its frequency drifts less than 180 kHz over 2 h. Another Nd:YAG laser at 1 064 nm, as the slave laser, is offset-locked to the above ML using optical phase locked loop, retaining virtually the same absolute frequency stability as the ML. The tunable ranges of the frequency differences between two lasers are up to 3 GHz, and the tuning step length was an arbitrary integral multiple of 200 kHz. The researched seed laser source is compact and robust, which can well satisfy the requirement of the Doppler wind lidar.
