    In the production process of fiber image inverters, it is easy to produce chicken defect, spot and other defects, and how to automatically identify the defects has been the focus of research. A threshold segmentation method is proposed which smoothes the obtained filter image to get an average brightness image. And the average image is subtracted from the original image to get a difference image. The difference image is binarized by a threshold to realize the automatic segmentation of the defect. In the experiment, the effectiveness of the above algorithm is verified by using the typical image of the chicken and the spot defects, which indicates that the method can meet the requirements of fiber image inverters.

    The output of 2.7 μm wave band laser with high peak power is obtained by KTiOPO4 (KTP) crystal optical parametric oscillation (OPO) pumped by 1 064 nm laser. Experimental results are analyzed in detail. The pump source is an electro-optical Q switched Nd:YAG laser, and the OPO is singly resonated. Two identical KTP crystals are placed with opposite optical axis to compensate the walk off effect. The crystals are cut as ?=0°, θ=62° to generate 2.7 μm wave band laser. To utilize the larger effective nonlinear coefficient, the phase matching is based on type Ⅱ(B) (o→o+e). When the pump energy of the 1 064 nm laser is 89 mJ with a pulse width of 10 ns, an output energy of 7.5 mJ with a pulse width of 8.5 ns at 2.67 μm is obtained.

    The linear responsivity comparison experiment of charge-coupled device (CCD) to 808 nm high and low repetition frequency laser with 100 fs pulse width and 808 nm continuous wave (CW) laser is studied. Experimental results show that the power responsivity ratio of CCD to the laser with 100 fs pulse width and CW laser is close to 1 when CCD is in linear responsivity range, which means the responsivity is no difference. From CCD principle, the response output is in proportion to the laser power received in integrated time, which indicates that the CCD power responsivity has nothing to do with width of pulse and repetition frequency of laser.
