The demodulation system has higher precision and its stability is better than that of the M-Z interference device.
To improve the performance of beamline for X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (XAFS) in National Synchrotron Radiation Laboratory(NSRL), an idea to reform the current double-crystal monochromator into a sagittal focusing crystal monochromator was proposed. An assembly crystal which cements the silicon strips with the tops of titanium stiffening ribs was developed to used as an imaging element of the second crystal of the sagittal focusing monochromator and to minimize the anticlastic curvature and lower the breaking risk of sagittal bent crystal. Based on the parameters of the NSRL-XAFS beamline, a model of assembly crystal was designed and its focusing properties were evaluated by finite element analysis and were measured with a long-trace-profiler. The results indicate that the Full Wave at Half Maximum(FWHM) of beam spot on the sample is decreased to 3 mm from 43 mm(without focusing) in horizon, and the photon density on the sample is increased by one order of magnitude. The results meet the requirements of data quality in current available light sources.

As the strain caused by the packaging process of a diode laser influences on the output power, wavelength and the reliability of the high power diode laser bar, this paper researches the measurement of packaging-induced stain in the laser. On the basis of the variation of polarization degree of the output lights in the diode laser can reveal the variation of band edges of the quantum wells in active region of the diode laser bar, it deduces the dependence of the polarization degree of laser outputs on the packaging-induced stain by using electro-luminescent spectroscopy. The strain in active region of a 800 nm GaAsP/GaInP high power diode laser bar is studied and the experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical simulation. Furthermore, the experimental results are compared with the original strain in active region of the diode laser bar, and it is found that the bar is compressed by the copper heat sink during the packaging process, and the packaging strain is induced in the active region. The packaging-induced strain at the center of the laser bar is higher than the one at the edges. Moreover, the experimental strain of the bar shows more variation apparently, which can be considered as that the defects are created in the indium solder layer fabricated by electrolytic deposition method. In the experiment, the maximum strain is 1.370×10-3 and the defect density is 40.8%.Obtained results demonstrate that the polarization degree measurement of the diode lasers can reveal the defects and the packaging-induced strains of diode lasers accurately and can well evaluate their qualities.
According to the theory of infrared radiation and principles of temperature measurement using infrared imagers, a reflected temperature compensation method was proposed to compensate the effect of environmental radiant on the infrared temperature measurement. The principles and implementary methods of reflected temperature compensation were introduced, and the theoretical calculation formula was obtained. Through the relevant experiments, it was indicated that the method can be used to compensate the reflective energies of the high-temperature objects under the condition that measured objects are arounded by high-temperature objects. The selection of infrared mirror is related to the surface of a measured object. If the measured object can be regarded as Lambertian, the aluminum foil can be chosen as the infrared mirror; if the measured material is non-Lambertian, the infrared mirror should be replaced by a material that has a similar structure with the measured object surface. After temperature compensation, it can be more accurate to measure the surface temperature of the Lambertian and the measuring error is within 2%; Furthermore, the accuracy of the temperature measurement is also greatly improved for the non-Lambertian and the measuring error is not more than 5%. Experimental results show that the method is simple and of high accuracy,and is applicable to the most of infrared imagers.
A novel approach to obtain multi-channel comb filters with various channel bandwidths is presented based on a sampled Bragg grating. A kind of high-channel-count comb filter with channel spacings of 50 GHz, 100 GHz and 200 GHz is then fabricated respectively by design of a discrete-chirped sampled Bragg grating structure like a ladder in grating period. This kind of optical fiber filter is characterized by multiple equalized bands with flat-top steep-edge and high transmittance and its inter-channel isolation is more than 28 dB, in-band insertion loss is less than 0.1 dB and phase response is between 5~30 ps in the 3 dB bandwidth. By using proposed approach, the holographic phase mask with discrete-chirped coefficients can be easily prepared in low costs and good repetition. Furthermore, by changing the optical fiber parameters, the optical fiber filters with different channel bandwidths can be implemented in high stability and repetition, which has a good potential in the high-speed optical communication systems and optical interconnects.
As the FY-3A Medium Resolution Spectral Imager(MERSI) takes a cross-track scanning by 40 detectors in a thermal Infrared Window band,its radiometric calibration is more complicate than those of traditional single detectors. Therefore,this paper investigates a multi-detector radiometric calibration method for the MERSI. Firstly, the operational calibration algorithm for the IR band of MERSI based on onboard blackbody detector-by-detector is proposed to eliminate the radiometric response difference strips.Then,based on the radiance ratios of each detector to reference detector at different blackbody temperatures, this algorithm conducts the normalization processing for SRF-different bias (spectral normalization)to alleviate the image strips by radiometric mechanism. To verify the accuracy of MERSI calibration,the inter-calibration between MERSI and Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer(MODIS) is performed by using Simultaneous Nadir Observation (SNO).Experiments show that the difference of their brightness temperatures is about 1.0 K,which may come from their different bandwidths.
The measurement of conformal optics is always difficult to perform in the field of ultra-precise manufacturing and measuring. In this paper, a coordinate measuring method based on stitching profile was proposed for the conformal optics. By proposed method, the profile of the conformal optics was divided into several sections with some overlap points, then the every local profile was measured by adjusting the attitude of the measured workpiece, which was completed by the relative movement between the measuring system and the measured workpiece in rotation and transition. Furthermore, an algorithm based on the least square was used to stitch the local profile and to reconstruct the global profile. After those, a mathematical model of the method was established and an iteration algorithm was put forward. An experimental setup was built and the corresponding measurement and data processing software were written with VC and MATLAB, respectively. Finally, an ellipse with a diameter of 120 mm and a length/diameter of 1.2 was tested. Simulations and experiments indicate that the method is practical and simple, and can reconstruct the global profile accurately.

The general theories of the echelle gratings and the echelle spectrographs were introduced briefly, and the distinction between echelle spectrograph and common plane grating spectrograph was analyzed and compared. A high-resolution echelle spectrograph of Czerney-Turner(C-T) structure was designed by using principles of optical imaging and aberration,and its wavelength ranges were set to be 200-500 nm which were the most intensive ranges of atomic spectra. To simplify the calculation work, the aberration of 350 nm wavelength beam was eliminated.Furthermore, the incident beam was set to work at a quasi-Littrow angle to acquire high diffraction efficiency. As a cross-disperser, a catadioptric prism was used to separate the overlapped diffraction orders,therefore, a two-dimensional spectral surface was obtained by CCD. The optical system shows the merits of flat field and point-to-point imaging, and its resolution could be 2 000-15 000 in the whole wavelength ranges. This instrument is aimed to research on the absorption and emission spectra of atoms, and can improve its performance by replacing different detectors and adding peripheral circuits and software.

The static frication torque, power loss, anti-temperature, anti-vibration and life of the wheel using ceramic bearing support and grease lubricating were analyzed through experiments. The results show that the static frication torque and power loss of the ceramic bearing under grease lubricating are less than those of all-steel bearings,and the starting characteristics of the proposed wheel are very well at the temperature from -30 ℃ to 50 ℃. Moreover, the vibration resistance performances of the wheel under the testing conditions equal to the conditions when a satellite is launched perfectly. After the vibration testing, the wheel has been tested for four years under a vacuum degree of 0.02 Pa and a rotation speed of 5 000 min/s and results show the variations of current are less than 1%,which proves that the life of the attitude control wheel has more than four years and can meet the lightweight and life requirements of micro-small satellites in space.
In order to realize meteorologic temperature measurement based on frequency outputs, a resonant micro-temperature sensor with a bilayer cantilever was proposed. According to the working principle that the resonant frequency of the microcantilever will be shifted due to the thermal expansion coefficient mismatch between the two-materials,the temperature variation could be detected by driving the cantilever and detecting the resonant frequency with piezoelectric excitation and detection. The structure of the temperature sensor was designed according to the front side fabrication process of silicon. Then, the resonant modes, detectable models and the effect of temperature on these models were analyzed by means of finite element method. The resonant characteristics were also researched with a polytech laser Doppler vibrometer. The results indicate that the 2nd resonant model of the cantilever has the largest Q factor about 150 as compared with other resonant models. Furthermore, the higher mode, particularly the 2nd resonant model is more suitable for detecting the resonant frequency of the temperature sensors by utilizing ZnO as piezoelectric materials and it can offer a relative higher sensitivity about 20 Hz/℃ and temperature coefficient of frequency about 1.9×10-4/℃. These results show that the sensor can satisfy the requirements of meteorologic temperature measurement and has the advantages of high electrical stability, high sensitivity and simple signal transmission interface.
In view of practical projects, this paper analyzed the influence of the precision of row frequency on the image quality of a TDICCD camera systematically by taking scroll imaging for an example. Firstly, the expression of the image motion of each pixel was deduced when the camera was scroll imaging, and the relationship between scroll angle and image motion velocity was established. Based on this, the Modulation Transfer Function(MTF) was used to evaluate the image quality. The influence of image motion mismatching on the MTF was analyzed in detail, and the dependence of image quality on the precision of row frequency was calculated. The results show that the bigger the scroll angle and the integral number of TDICCD are, the higher the precision of required row frequency is. Contrarily, the precision of row frequency is not required strictly. In engineering application(the scroll angle is 35°), when the integral numbers of the camera are 64 and 96, the precision of row frequency should be no less than 0.54% and 0.36% respectively for MTFmatch≥0.95, which meets the need of the system. Comparing the experimental results with the calculation analysis, it is proved that the analyzed results are correct and can provide the useful references for engineering application and designing.

In consideration of the direct influence of Received Signal Strength Indicator(RSSI) fluctuation on the target localization accuracy in wireless sensor networks (WSN), the basic principle of target localization using Least Square Support Vector Regression(LSSVR) is discussed. Then, the characteristics of LSSVR modeling are analyzed for given and variable detection sensors, respectively. Furthermore, a method for Target Localization based on Adaptive LSSVR Modeling (TL-AML) in WSN is proposed. By considering localization accuracy and real-time performance comprehensively, LSSVR models are built for locating target at initial time, and at follow-up time it is used to decide whether new models need to be built or not according to the inclusion relation between detection nodes and sensor nodes. The performance of TL-AML is verified based on CC2430 WSN experiment platform. Results show that the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of target localization based on TL-AML has reduced by 34%~37% and 60%~65% as compared with those of MLE and LSE,respectively. When modeling parameters are taken in reasonable value ranges, the localization accuracy of TL-AML is improved evidently compared with MLE and LSE. Moreover,the consuming time of TL-AML is 0.2~0.4 s,If LSSVR modeling is needed. Otherwise, the consuming time is only about 0.04 s. The results indicate that TL-AML method can weaken the influence of RSSI fluctuation on the accuracy of target localization and has good real-time target localization accuracy.

As the conventional scan mode in helical cone-beam CT limits the field of view of the CT system, this paper analyzes the half-cover scanning of helical cone-beam CT and presents a new reconstruction method combined the Backprojected Filter(BPF) reconstruction and the cone-beam CT with half-cover scanning.This scanning method only demands more than half of cross section to be covered by X-ray beam at each view angle,and the width of the planar detector is about half of the conventional helical cone-beam CT, so that the cost of planar detector is saved.By combing the fan projection and 2D BPF, this paper researches a rebinned-weighted BPF algorithm for half-cover helical cone-beam CT,in which the projection data are firstly rebinned to half-cover fan-beam data, and then the weighted BPF are used in reconstruction. The results validate that reconstruction time with rebinned-weighted BPF algorithm has reduced to 3/5 that of the conventional helical FDK algorithm. Furthermore, the reconstructed value is more closed to the real value than that of FDK algorithm with large helical pitchs, and the MSE has reduced by half.

In order to research the on-board data processing for infrared (IR) scan images in Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellite, processing flows of data processors in the Phase Ⅱ and DSP-Ⅰ satellites for U.S. Defense Support Program (DSP) are discussed. A point target detection algorithm for IR scan images is proposed based on a two-channel filter to suit for space conditions. Firstly, the background prediction is modeled by a mean filter to suppress background clutters, and the adaptive threshold is determined on the residual image after the background elimination. Then, the peak detection is used to detect the peaks in IR images to reduce probability of false alarm originating from the adaptive threshold. Finally, the target identification algorithm using fusion technique is performed for the data from two channels. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can get high detection probability and low false-alarm probability, and is easy and convenient for real-time operation. The obtained results indicate that the detection probability reaches 99.3% (the false alarm probability is 1.3×10-3) when the input Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR) is no less than 6. The real-time analysis of the algorithm shows that the data processing capability can achieve 56.45 Mb/s. The proposed algorithm can meet the need of space-based data processing.
On the basis of analysis on the pseudo-random perturbation policy and Variable Parameter Compensation(VPCM) policy for digital chaotic system, a method to design the chaotic one-way hash function based on the orbit perturbation is proposed. In order to improve the security of short message hashing, the message is padded to be a multiple of 64 byte. Then,the length fixed perturbation of 64 bytes length is chosen,and the perturbation together with the padded message are mapped to the perturbation space of digital chaotic system.Finally, the digital chaotic system is iterated multiple times by using the elements of the perturbation space as inputs, and a hash value with 160 bit length is extracted from the results. The proposed algorithm uses the logistic mapping as the chaotic mapping, of which the computational complexity is lower than the one that has a reasonable high dimension. As the orbit perturbation is introduced the algorithm,its security is higher than that of common one. The results indicate that the algorithm is sensitive to the initial message comparatively and shows good confusion and diffusion properties. Moreover, the fix-point operations with 256 bits are used in the proposed algorithm, and it is easy to be completed by software or hardware.
The displacement measured by a confocal probe based on time difference method is an one-to-one mapping to the time difference between the two peaks in a photo-electric signal. In order to calculate the time difference accurately, the characteristics of photo-electric signal output from an improved probe was analyzed and then the defects in the current signal processing method were pointed out.A processing method named similar pattern analysis was persented to calculate the time interval between the two peaks. Experimental data show that in the data acquisition system with sampling frequency of 2 MHz, the standard deviation of time difference by using the similar pattern analysis is 0.33 μs,which is better than 3.37 μs by using the maximum value method. With the similar pattern analysis, it is easy to implement the signal pre-processing. The calculated results are accurate and stable and are not influenced by the changes of laser intensity and ambient light interference.
To eliminate the spatially variant blurs caused by a field curvature from a camera and to improve the resolutions and the measuring precisions of images, a 1D image restoration method was proposed to overcome the influence of field curvature on an image from the camera used in industrial inspections. On analysis of the spatially variant blur matrix, the Point Spread Functions(PSFs) of a partial region were estimated and then the blur matrix of whole image field was computed by shifting and interpolation. On the basis of the blur matrix, the restored matrix which was unrelated to the observed signal was obtained by the constrained least square algorithm. In inspection, the restored image could be obtained by multiplying the acquired signals with restored matrix. This method has been applied in foreign fiber detecting systems and verified by real images containing fine fibers. Obtained results show that this method can improve the image resolution and enhance the difference between background and irregular points by 10%. Therefore, it improves the detecting accuracies for images.
