To obtain a system with a focal length of 4 500 mm, field of view of 11° and the ratio of the total length of system and the focal length in 1/3, the design and performance between traditional off-axis three-mirror system and freeform off-axis three-mirror system were compared. In the designed optical system, the freeform mirror was introduced to the secondary mirror to enhance system optimization and improve the balance capacity for optical aberration. After the comparison and optimization, the relative aperture of 1/9.5 was chosen.In the system, the average of wavefront error of all field of view is better than 0.030λ(λ=632.8 nm), and the average of the Modulation Transform Function(MTF) of all field of view is greater than 0.434(71.4 lp/mm) that is close to the diffraction limitation. Furthermore, the MTF has im-proved more than 5% compared to that of traditional TMA system and the departure of the secondary freeform mirror and theoretical spherical surface is only 1.1λ(λ=632.8 nm). The highly precision testing can be accomplished only by a standard sphere combined with the non-null testing method based on digital mask, which solves the problem of large-aperture convex freeform mirror testing and is helpful for the manufacturing of freeform secondary mirror. The off-axis three-mirror system based on freeform secondary mirror shows its advantages in smaller cubage, better realizability in engineering, better wavefront error and higher MTF.
A polarized spectroscopy was designed and manufactured based on the laser-produced plasma experiments to diagnose the X-ray polarization of a laser-produced plasma in 0.2-20 nm. The experiment was performed at the 20 J laser facility in Research Center of Laser Fusion, China Academy of Engineering Physics (CAEP). In the experiment, Poly Ethylene Terephthalate(PET) crystals were used as dispersive elements in the two orthogonal directions and the imaging plates with the effective area of 30 mm×80 mm were taken as detectors. The optical paths of the X-ray beam were about 980 mm and 310 mm from the source to the detectors via the PET crystals, respectively. The X-ray spectrum emitted from the aluminum plasmas was recorded by the image plates. It shows that the polarization of the two Al Ⅻ spectra are about 0.123 3 and 0.148 1 after correcting helium resonance and combination spectrum. The experimental results demonstrate that there is anisotropic phenomenon in the laser-produced plasma, and the proposed method is effective to diagnosis of the polarized spectrum of high-temperature plasma.
The calibration of an imaging spectrometer by using the diffuser method should consider not only the accuracy of calibration instruments, but also the effects of instrument and geometric parameters from the imaging spectrometer on calibration results. According to the calibration principle of imaging spectrometer using the diffuser method, this paper deduces the expression of the collected signal electron number in each spectral channel of the imaging spectrometer by taking the parameters as self-variables, and it analyzes the effects of the incident angle of standard lamp, the distance of standard lamp to the diffuser, the slit direction and the observation incident angle of the imaging spectrometer on the electron number collected by the detector pixels. The results show that when the F number is set to be 3 and 4, the entrance pupil in 0.1-0.2 m, the standard lamp illuminating angle less than 12° and the distance of the standard lamp in 0.5-2 m, the change of the signal electron number can be less than 1%.It satisfies the accuracy need of the calibration by using the diffuser method.
The key design of off-axial Three-mirror Anastigmat(TMA) systems was summarized, and an improved design of the off-axial TMA optical systems was proposed with a new optical structure. By taking two designed systems for examples, the optical elements of the TMA system were reasonably arranged, the secondary mirror was designed as a spherical surface, and the primary and the third mirrors were optimized with high-order aspheric coefficients.

The surface tolerance is relaxed from λ/50 to λ/40, and the assembling tolerances of the primary mirror, second mirror and the third mirror can be relaxed by a factor of 4. The improved design makes the manufacture and assembly of the off-axial TMA optical system much easier, and helps the system to achieve excellent performance in the level of optical diffraction limit. These are beneficial to the popularization of off-axial TMA optical systems.

It can meet the needs of national standard for mean errors and repeatability errors.

The primary mirror of a two-reflective system for a telescopy was replaced by a Golay 3 sparse aperture to reduce its weight and volume while remaining high angular resolution. Firstly, the two-reflective system with a spherical primary mirror and a hyperbolic secondary mirror was designed according to the third-aberration theory. Then, the primary mirror was substituted by a Golay 3 sparse aperture, and the relationship between fill factor and sub-mirror radius was analyzed.

Solar-blind UV induced Transmission Filters (SBU-ITFs) were fabricated by ion-beam sputtering. Firstly, SBU-ITFs were designed and analyzed theoretically, and the deposition of ZrO2, SiO2 and Al films by ion beam sputtering was optimized. The optical constants of ZrO2 and SiO2 films were derived from the transmitting and reflecting spectra, and the optical constant of Al film was determined by the inversion of the variable incidence ellipsometric spectrum of a sample JGS1/SiO2/Al/SiO2/air(SAS).On the basis of the research, the SBU-ITFs were fabricated by using the three films above and their optical properties were measured. The measurement for SBU-ITFs shows that the peak transmittance of the filter at the 264 nm center wavelength is larger than 60%, the transmittance band width (FWHM) is about 13 nm, and the optical density in the 300-350 nm cutoff spectral region reaches to 2.6.The analysis of the transmittance shows that the main factors affecting the properties of SBU-ITFs are a slower deposition speed for Al film and smaller amount of O2 contents remaining in the chamber during the deposition of Al film.
In a fiber strain sensing system, strain sensing cable is usually used as a sensing element instead of bare fiber.Therefore, it is necessary to explore the high stress transfer performance of a strain sensing cable.Combining Lame formula and generalized Hooke's law, this paper establishes theoretical models for a tight-jacketed sensing cable and a reinforced sensing cable based on elasticity mechanics and deduces the relationship between the strain of the cable and its stress. Then it does the simulation and experiment on samples of these two typical types of sensing cables by using Brillouir Optical Time-domain Reflectometer(BOTDR) to detect the strain of the cables. The results of theoretical calculation and the experimental measurement show that the linear rates of all the results are more than 97%, and the differences of the slope between the theoretical calculation and the experimental measurement are less than 8%, which proves the models to be effective.The models can provide a basis for stress sensing systems in determining the stress situation for an objective.

Milling tests for SiCp/2009Al composites were performed by using Polycrystal Diamond(PCD) tools at the cutting speed of 600-1 200 m/min and the mechanisms of tool wear were investigated. A Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) was used to examine the machined surfaces and tool wear land, an X-ray diffractometer (XRD) was used to analyze the substances on the machined surface and the laser Raman spectra and Energy Density Spectrometry(EDS) were taken to analyze the elements on the tool wear land. The results show that the tool grain breaking-off, abrasive wear, chipping and the peeling caused by the high frequency impact and the scrapt of SiC particles are the prevalent wear patterns. When high volume fraction materials or heat treated materials are milled, or the milling is at a higher cutting speed, micro-cracks will form on the PCD tools. Furthermore, volume fractions, average sizes of SiC particles, tool grain sizes, cooling and heat treating conditions have significant influence on the tool wear. It concludes that the life of PCD tools is in the range of 70-240 min. The micro-cracks are produced on the tool flank under the combined effects of SiC particle impact, cutting vibration and heat impact. Moreover, the aluminum and copper can be diffused into the tool matrix under the very high cutting temperature and cutting forces and the trivial graphitization is taken place on the PCD tools due to the catalysis of copper in the aluminum matrix.
The relationship between the dynamic effect of a capillary and the length of microchannel in front of a step valve was researched, then the influence of dynamic effect in the process of stopping the capillary in microchannel formed by hydrophobic and hydrophilic walls on the step valve was analyzed. According to the working principle of the passive valve of capillary and energy conservation law, the critical length in front of the step valve was calculated when the step valve stoped the capillary. The calculated length corresponding to the critical length was obtained by numerical simulation. It shows that when the actual length in front of the step valve is greater than or equal to the calculated length, the valve can stop the capillary effectively. The step valves were fabricated by bonding polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) to glass. Experiments of stopping the capillary by the step valve were performed in a rectangular microchannel formed by three hydrophobic PDMS walls and one hydrophilic glass wall. For the series of microchannel with a depth of 40 μm and widths from 200 μm to 400 μm, the calculated length in front of the step valve is from 4.531 6 μm to 10.081 μm. In the experiments, the actual length before the step valves for effectively stopping the capillary is in the interval from 10 μm to 2 000 μm. The results show that even if the actual length in front of the step valve is 10 μm, the step valve can also stop the capillary. Therefore, the dynamic effect of the capillary can be ignored in stopping the step valves in the microchannel.

Infrared Focal Plane Array (IRFPA) is easy to produce a fringe nonuniformity (NU) when it works for long hours or in a changed environment. Aiming at this problem, a dynamic Nonuniformity Correction(NUC) method was proposed in no covering imaging fields and its hardware realization technology was investigated.

The experimental results show that the fringe NU of IR image is reduced after ICS-NUC and the NU of IRFPA module is decreased from 3.43% to 1.82% by ICSA and 0.91% by ICSM, respectively. After continuous operation by four hours, the NU of IRFPA module is still decreased from 5.05% (drifted) to 0.92% by using ICSM.It concludes that the realization of ICS-NUC algorithm on IRFPA module can lay a technical foundation for the following study and applications of high-performance thermal imaging systems.
A spot centroiding algorithm immune from noise pixels is proposed to improve the existing centroiding algorithms that can not process images with discrete noise pixels directly, and it is achieved by a Field Programmable Gate Array(FPGA). This algorithm does not depend on noise pre-process or post-process to eliminate noise pixels. Firstly, the algorithm marks the background pixel, noise pixel and the spot pixel, respectively, then each pixel is marked after it is compared with the neighbouring one. At the same time, centroid parameters that belong to the same spot are accumulated, while the real noise pixel is bypassed. Compared with currently existing algorithms, this method takes full advantage of the parallel processing ability of the FPGA. It can extract spot centroid coordinates and eliminate the noise pixel simultaneously when the image pixel is output, the pre-process image is not needed and the storage space is saved. This algorithm is especially suitable for processing the spot image with discrete and high-brightness noises caused by long exposure time.

The self-deconvolution estimation for a Point Spread Function(PSF) is applied to Iterative Blind Deconvolution(IBD) to estimating exactly the frequency domain of the PSF. The incremental Wiener filter is used in the image estimation of IBD to keep the algorithm convergence steady.

Traditional Simultaneous Localization and Mapping(SLAM) algorithm is lack of the ability to describe multiple sensor information accurately in a clutter environment, and it is prone to false data association. Therefore, this paper proposes a SLAM algorithm based on Probability Hypothesis Density (PHD) filter to deal with these problems. By taking the sensor observation and environmental map as random finite sets in every time step, a joint target state variable is constructed. Then, with the Probability Hypothesis Density(PHD) filtering, the poses and environmental map of the robot are estimated simultaneously and the PHD filter is realized by a particle filter. To avoid the error caused by cluster, a time-delay particle set outputting approach is proposed for joint target state extracting. The new algorithm can describe the observation uncertainty, loss detecting, false alarm due to a clutter and other sensor information accurately, and also can avoid the data association, by which the system state estimation is closer to real values. The simulation results show that the accuracy of the new algorithm in the vehicle localization and mapping is improved by more than 50% as compared with that of traditional SLAM algorithm. It provides a new solution for SLAM problems in the clutter environment.
