Clinically, red blood cell abnormalities are closely related to tumor diseases, red blood cell diseases, internal medicine, and other diseases. Red blood cell classification is the key to detecting red blood cell abnormalities. Traditional red blood cell classification is done manually by doctors, which requires a lot of manpower produces subjective results. This paper proposes an Attention-based Residual Feature Pyramid Network (ARFPN) to classify 14 types of red blood cells to assist the diagnosis of related diseases. The model performs classification directly on the entire red blood cell image. Meanwhile, a spatial attention mechanism and channel attention mechanism are combined with residual units to improve the expression of category-related features and achieve accurate extraction of features. Besides, the RoI align method is used to reduce the loss of spatial symmetry and improve classification accuracy. Five hundred and eighty eight red blood cell images are used to train and verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. The Channel Attention Residual Feature Pyramid Network (C-ARFPN) model achieves an mAP of 86%; the Channel and Spatial Attention Residual Feature Pyramid Network (CS-ARFPN) model achieves an mAP of 86.9%. The experimental results indicate that our method can classify more red blood cell types and better adapt to the needs of doctors, thus reducing the doctor's time and improving the diagnosis efficiency.
The phase delays introduced by anisotropic nanounits include propagation phase delay, resonant phase delay and geometric phase delay. Various phase devices can be formed based on the metasurfaces consisting of anisotropic nanounits and the phase devices of the same kind function have different performances because of different working modes. In this paper, metalenses and vortex metalenses are chosen as examples to compare the optical performance of metasurface phase devices based on three kinds of phase compensation techniques. We design separately three kinds of metalenses and vortex metalenses using the cross nanoholes, L-shaped nanohole and V-shaped nanoholes and simulate numerically their intensity and phase distributions. Additionally, the results show the differences among these elements in structure complexity, polarization dependence, working efficiency and phase uniformity. The comparison for three kinds of metalenses clearly shows the merits of different phase compensation techniques and this work must be helpful for expanding the practical applications of metasurfaces.
In our work, a –polyvinyl alcohol film-type saturable absorber (SA) with a modulation depth of 4.99% and a saturable intensity of was successfully prepared and employed in mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser. The fiber laser can generate stable multi-wavelength mode-locked operations with a threshold power of 224 mW and a maximum average output power of 3.272 mW at the repetition rate of 3.38 MHz for the first time, to the best of our knowledge. Our experimental results fully prove that nanosheets were efficient SA candidates for demonstrating multi-wavelength mode-locked operation fiber lasers due to their tunable absorption peak and excellent saturable absorption properties.
