Adaptive image sequence coding based on global and local compensability analysis

Our study of a novel technique for adaptive image sequence coding is reported. The number of reference frames and the intervals between them are adjusted to improve the temporal compensability of the input video. The bits are distributed more efficiently on different frame types according to temporal and spatial complexity of the image scene. Experimental results show that this dynamic group-of-picture (GOP) structure coding scheme is not only feasible but also better than the conventional fixed GOP method in terms of perceptual quality and SNR.

Yb:YAG/YAG复合陶瓷薄片连续和调Q输出特性

采用面泵浦的CAMIL结构，我们研究了970 nm泵浦的Yb:YAG/YAG复合陶瓷薄片激光器，获得了连续和调Q的激光输出。在连续运转情况下，获得了最高1.05 W的激光输出，中心波长为1031 nm，后腔输出镜透射率为2％。我们同时获得了声光调Q的脉冲输出，重复频率从1 kHz到30 kHz，脉宽分别从166 ns到700 ns。

Compact continuous-wave blue lasers by direct frequency doubling of laser diodes with periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide crystals

A compact continuous-wave blue laser has been demonstrated by direct frequency doubling of a laser diode with a periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) waveguide crystal. The optimum PPLN temperature is near 28 degreesC, and the dependence of waveguide crystals on crystal temperature is less sensitive than that of bulk crystals. A total of 14.8 mW of 488-nm laser power has been achieved. (C) 2005 Optical Society of America.
