    It is a technical difficulty of fabricating laser resonator gratings that the -1 and 0 order diffraction efficiencies of the gratings are equal to expectation values synchronously in controlling zero plane width of grating groove by ruling technology.Based on the electromagnetic theory of gratings, the triangle model and design method of laser resonator gratings with 0 order coupling-out and -1 order oscillation are proposed according to the characteristics of TM polarization in non-anomaly region.The characteristics are that the change gradient of diffraction efficiency of the TM polarized wave in the region close to λ/d≈1.414 is small,and the diffraction efficiency is increased with a blazed angle and decreased with an apex angle monotonically.This model can realize the random energy distributions of 0 and -1 order diffraction efficiencies and can avoid the uncertainty of technique coming from old methods and reduce the fabricating difficulty.The model is used to fabricate a grating with diffraction efficiency of 65% and its efficiency error is only 0.6% at 10.6 μm.Moreover, the method can also be applied to design a grating with -1 order oscillation and -1 order coupling-out, so that the design method and fabrication technology of two kinds of gratings are unified.

    The high-power CO2 laser disturbance to Long-wave Infrared (LWIR) HgCdTe detectors is investigated theoretically and experimentally in this paper.Based on the practical parameters of experiments, a theoretical model of temperature-rise is adopted to calculate the variation of temperature with the time and the power of laser irradiation on a detectors.Then, the high-power laser damage mechanism to the LWIR detector is discussed, and obtained results are compared with the experimental results from that a CO2 laser irradiates the detector on the distance of 15 km.The experimental results show that the power density of the CW CO2 laser with the power of 2.5 kW can achieve 0.16 W/cm2 after attenuation for 15 km distance.Therefore, the power density of the target after focusing by a lens can be 140 W/cm2 by calculation.Furthermore, when the power density of the target is 20.5 W/cm2, the detector can be jammed; when it achieves 110 W/cm2, the detector can be damaged and the detector temperature is high enough for Hg deposition.This experimental phenomenon well agrees with the results predicted by the theoretical calculation.The conclusions can provide references for the laser defense of detectors and laser jamming satellite-based detectors.

    A laser interferometric method is proposed to detect the audible frequencies of underwater acoustic signals.A laser beam is used to irradiate the air-water interface when an underwater acoustic source causes the fluctuation of the water surface, the scattered beam with acoustic wave information will interfere with a reference beam according to the principle of the Michelson interferometer,and the frequencies of water surface waves can be concluded in the interference results.A precise optical detection device is used to detect the change of optical path difference caused by the water surface fluctuation and to achieve the real-time information concerning audible frequency of the underwater acoustic source by demodulating the data in processing system.It can be seen from the real-time frequency-domain graphs that the central frequency of the frequency band is the audible frequency of underwater acoustic signals, while the low-frequency band results from the Doppler shift caused by the natural fluctuation of the water surface.Experiment results prove that the method can be used to detect real-time underwater acoustic signals with the frequency from 4 kHz to 15 kHz and the test error is less than 7 Hz.These results can meet the requirement of the underwater acoustic signal detection for the real time and precision.

    A CCD camera calibration technology based on the translation of a Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) is proposed to decrease the calibrating cost of CCD cameras and to improve the calibrating accuracy, and its principle, mathematic model, calibrating steps and calibrating accuracy are studied.According to the CCD camera calibration principle and the high translation accuracy of CMM, the CMM brings the CCD camera to be calibrated to produce the relative translation with respect to the center of a white ceramic standard sphere (the calibration characteristic point)along the X, Y, Z axes,then the coordinates of the different positions of the calibration characteristic point in the probe coordinate system can be obtained.Furthermore,by capturing the image of the white ceramic standard sphere by the camera at every position, the coordinates of different positions of the calibration characteristic points in a computer frame coordinate system can be registered after image processing.By introducing the probe coordinate system, a calibration mathematic model is established, the calibration steps are given and a calibration system is set up.The comparing calibration result shows that precision of the CCD camera calibration system based on the translation of CMM is equivalent to that of the special calibration system , and the difference between the calibrating data of the two systems is within ±1 μm, which meets the requirements of the practical calibration for low costs,higher accuracy and higher calibration efficiency.

    The output images from a conventional 4f information optical system are characterized by their limited frequency bands, random noises and coherent noises in coexistence.Therefore, when those images are restored,it is necessary to protect image details better and to remove the noises in high frequency domain and the coherent fringes in low frequency domain.According to these characteristics, a new method is proposed to restore 4f system images and to improve the image quality.Firstly, the step response image of the 4f system is used to obtain the prior knowledge of the coherent noise, then the step response and pending images are processed to remove the high frequency random noise in contourlet domain.Finally, based on the linear characteristics of 4f system, the pixel value of the pending image divides the pixel value of step response image from point to point to remove the coherent noise.Experiments demanstrate that the method can restore images and protect image details well and its Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR)and Structural Similarity Index(SSIM) have improved by 5 db and 6%, respectively.These results show that the proposed method is suitable for 4f optical systems.

    A completely unsupervised defect detection method is proposed based on the Gabor filters and Mean Shift clustering to achieve the accurate automatic defect detection of a FPC gold surface.Firstly,the multi-dimension characteristics of an image to be detected are extracted by a series of processing steps including Gabor filter banks, morphological open and Gaussian smoothing.Then, the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is used to reduce the pixel characteristics from multi-dimension to 2-D for reducing computation time in the next clustering.Finally, Mean Shift method is applied to cluster pixels with 2-D characteristics and the results can be divided into defect and non-defect groups to produce the binary image.The whole process needs to neither predefine the type of defects nor the texture type of FPC gold surface, which can be defined as a completely unsupervised method of detecting defects.A number of images of FPC gold surfaces with a variety of defects have been tested.Detection results show that the proposed method can accurately separate all types of defect regions from the background and has the characteristics of high stability and strong ability to identify defects.

    In order to represent a scene exactly and entirely, an image fusion method based on Pulse Coupled Neural Network (PCNN) is proposed.After registering the images of multi-source sensors, obtained images are decomposed into several coefficients of low frequency and high frequency by using the 9/7 wavelet transform based on lifting scheme.The larger absolute gray values are selected to fuse low frequency images and the high frequency images are input to the PCNN, then a serial of fused sub-images can be obtained by comparing firing times after the iteration.Finally,the fused images are obtained by inversing transform using the 9/7 wavelet based on lifting scheme.By means of design of simulation experiments using visible and infrared images, the entropy, average gradient, standard deviation and space frequency are selected to evaluate the fused image.Obtained results show that the entropy, average gradient, standard deviation and space frequency of the fused image by using the novel fusion method base on PCNN are higher 0.010 4, 0.245 9, 0.113 1 and 0.284 6, respectively, than those by using the fusion method combining traditional wavelet and PCNN when a standard source image is used.

    The precision of centroid location for star images is an important factor, which affects the correction of star identification and the precision of star attitude determination.In this paper, the error model using the traditional Center of Mass(COM) is analyzed and it is shown that there are systematic errors and random errors in the COM.For the systematic errors, this paper firstly analyzes the relation between the systematic errors and the calculated centroid position by a simulation, and then adopts the least square curve fitting algorithm to estimate parameters of bivariate polynomial and to compensate systematic errors.For random errors,it presents an edge threshoold method and a star image elimination method to remove errors.Furthermore,the CCD imaging model is analyzed and a Bivariate Polynomial Compensation Template(BPCT) is proposed.As the star intensity distribution is close to the Gaussian point spread function model and the BPCT is related to the dispersion size of star intensity distribution, the different BPCTs are calculated to compensate the systematic error of COM according to different sizes of star dispersion.The simulation results show that by using the BPCT, the accuracy of the star position can be enhanced from 1/20 pixel to 1/200 pixel,which meets the requrirements of star trackers for the high accuracy centroid location.

    Illumination variation is one of the most significant factors affecting the performance of face recognition systems.As the adaptive smoothing estimation used in traditional Retinex algorithm can enhance the shadow edge falsely during smoothing face images, a novel Retinex algorithm based on adaptive smoothing with new a conduction function is proposed .This conduction function uses both spatial gradient and local inhomogeneity to measure the severity extent of pixel variation,which can smooth face images well without enhancing edge effects and lossing feature edges.During iterative process, the maximum between this iteration and last iteration is chosen to be the constraint,so this adaptive smoothing method with the proposed conduction function can be applied in Retinex theory to estimate illumination.Experimental results based on the Yale B face database show that the proposed algorithm can overcome shadows in side-illumination efficiently without losing feature edges of face images.The recognition rate is improved by 24.2% in the side-illumination condition at the best rate, and 4% in the no side-illumination condition compared with those of classical Retinex algorithms.The experimental results prove that the algorithm has illumination robustness,and can improve recognition rates under any illumination conditions effectively.
