A signal processing technique based on all-phase spectral analysis was proposed to reduce the displacement measurement error of a self-mixing interferometer. Self-mixing interference principle and signal processing technique were analyzed. First, the mathematical model and signal characteristics for the self-mixing interferometer were presented based on the model of laser oscillation cavity with three mirrors. Then, the displacement principle based on self-mixing interference was introduced. A all-phase spectral analysis was used to extract the phase of self-mixing interference signal to reconstruct the displacement of a reflective target and the signal processing algorithm was investigated with arithmetic simulation. Finally,an experiment system was established and the calibration result of bimorph PZT was presented. Experimental results indicate that the displacement error can be decreased to 4.4 nm by using all-phase spectral analysis. It concludes that the all-phase spectral analysis can reduce the displacement error of the self-mixing interferometer to nanometer level without increasing the number of optical elements.
A displacement measurement method for microcantilevers based on integrated dual gratings and a CCD image measurement system were presented. The displacement detection range was extended by using two gratings with a phase shift about π/2. The sensor chips were fabricated by surface sacrificial process. Grooves with the depth about 1/8 of the incident laser wavelength were etched on the glass substrate and two adjacent gratings patterned inside and outside of the groove and the reflective undersurface of a cantilever formed two phase sensitive integrated gratings, respectively. The integrated grating units formed an image on the CCD sensing surface through the 1st order diffraction light, and the gray value change of the light spot was related to the displacement change of the corresponding cantilever. Experimental results show that although the phase difference between the gratings deviates from π/2 caused by the depth errors of the etched grooves, the integrated dual gratings extend the range of displacement detection to multi periods. The insensitive areas at peaks and valleys for sinusoidal variation signal of interferometric displacement detection method are avoided by using alternately intensity signals from the two gratings. In the experiment, the measured displacement change of the cantilever is 650 nm.
To calculate the focal length of an off-axis Three Mirror Anastigmat(TMA) camera precisely and to guarantee its mapping precision,this paper researches and amends the classic mapping model and related formulas. First, the intersection angle of the off-axis TMA camera is re-defined,and the classic calculating formula for the focal length is modified. Then, the effect of earth curvature on the calculating focal length is analyzed, and the formula is further corrected. Examples indicate that when GSD is set to be 2 m,and the size of CCD, orbital altitude and the off-axis angle are 8 μm,700 km and 7°, respectively, the relative error of the focal length of a tilt-looking camera calculated by the classic formula and that calculated by the modified formula can reach to 2.6%, which will effect significantly on the mapping precision. Therefore,it suggests that the calculating formula for focal length of tilt-looking camera should take the off-axis angle into account when a off-axis TMA camera is used in photography.Furthermore, the classic calculating formula is still applicable for the ortho-looking camera.

The measurement of continuous bending deformation for a circuit board surface was achieved by using digital off-axis Fresnel holographic interferometry. 1 501 holograms were recorded by applying a displacement load to both ends of the circuit board from 0 to 15 mm by the step of 0.01 mm.The interference phase difference was obtained by subtracting the complex amplitude phase distributions of two adjacent holograms with numerical reconstruction. Then, the out-of-plane displacement of the lighting measurement area was obtained according to the relationship between the phase difference and the out-of-plane displacement, and the measurement results were obtained by accumulating the bending deformation of the displacement load from 1 mm to 15 mm. By calculating the out-of-plane displacements of the same capacitor center in the lighting measurement area from five pieces of circuit boards with the same specifications, it indicates that the measurement results are no more than 0.008 mm for the type A uncertainty,no more than 0.003 5 mm for the type B uncertainty from a loading clamp and no more than 0.008 7 mm for the combined uncertainty.

Firstly, 0Cr18Ni9 stainless steel foils with the thickness of 10 μm were cut by a femtosecond laser to get a 2D microstructure under a femtosecond laser power of 110 mW,a cutting speed of 0.1 mm/s and the cutting compensation quantity of 0.75 μm. Then, the influence of laser power, cutting speed on cutting precision was analysed,and the foils were welded together to get the 3D microstructure.For further study, the weld-zone was analysed by X-ray Diffractometry(XRD) and it was found that the phase of weld zone has not been changed but the content of phase changed. Compared with UV-LIGA,the Micro-DLOM can fabricate the 3D micro-structure with a free-form surface and the unrestricted ratio of depth to width. Moreover,the thinner the stainless steel foils the, the higher the processing accuracy is. Compared with femtosecond laser ablation,the Micro-DLOM only needs to cut every layer’s outline and has a higher forming efficiency. Compared with micro-EDM,the 3D micro-structure fabricated by Micro-DLOM has a large surface roughness, but it needs not fabricate different microelectrode faces and can fabricate the 3D micro-structure with unrestricted ratio of depth to width.

In the experiment, the photon counting images with different input photon rates were obtained. By using standard mutual information to assess image quality, it is demonstrated that the experimental system can achieve visual imaging with an input photon rate of 3.0×104 count/s, and the value of standard mutual information is over 0.5 with 2.7×105 count/s. It concludes that this system can realize photon counting imaging at low signal levels efficiently.
