As a novel scheme, Fourier single-pixel imaging(FSI) has been proven capable of reconstructing high-quality images. Due to the fact that the Fourier basis patterns(also known as grayscale sinusoidal patterns)cannot be well displayed on the digital micromirror device(DMD), a fast FSI system is proposed to solve this problem by binarizing Fourier pattern through a dithering algorithm. However, the traditional dithering algorithm leads to low quality as the extra noise is inevitably induced in the reconstructed images. In this paper, we report a better dithering algorithm to binarize Fourier pattern, which utilizes the Sierra–Lite kernel function by a serpentine scanning method. Numerical simulation and experiment demonstrate that the proposed algorithm is able to achieve higher quality under different sampling ratios.展开更多

At the pulse repetition frequency of i kHz, we demonstrate a maximum energy of 30mJ per pulse with a 28.2ns pulse width in a Ho：YAG oscillator system resonantly double-end-pumped by Tm：YLF lasers. A maximum energy of 52mJ per pulse with a 30.5ns pulse width is achieved in the Ho： YA G amplifier, corresponding to a peak power of approximately 1.7 MW. The output wavelength is at 2090.6nm and 2096.9nm, and a beam quality factor of M2-2.1 is achieved.展开更多
