    When infrared standard stars are used in radiation calibration for a ground-based large-aperture infrared photoelectric system, it can not determine the radiance responsivity of each pixel and shows a poor adaptability for non-uniformity of the system. To solve this problems, a combined radiometric calibration method based on infrared standard stars and the small-aperture blackbody was proposed. The infrared standard stars were taken as an outer reference source to calibrate the radiance responsivity of the total optics,and the blackbody was taken as the inner reference source to calibrate the radiance responsivity of the partial optics. Finally, the transmittance of the front optics was calculated based on the inner and outer calibration results, and the radiance responsivity of the total optics was calibrated in pixel levels. Several experiments were performed to inverse the illuminance of the infrared stars. The results show that the maximum relative inversion error of the proposed method is 15.89% and that from infrared standard star calibration is 15.92%, which means that the proposed method keeps more accurate than that of the infrared standard star method. Moreover, the radiance responsivity of the total optics corresponding to each pixel is calibrated, and the results indicate that the proposed method overcomes the interference of system non-uniformity, improves the utilization ratio of the focal plane array and makes up the application defect of standard infrared stars.

    As active correction of a large aperture SiC mirror with high stiffness is vulnerable to many calculation errors by direction least square method or free resonance method, this paper proposes a primary surface correction algorithm using bending mode to calculate and optimize the active force and to improve the correction capability. Firstly, a series of mathematical transformations were performed on the influence matrix of the primary mirror, and a set of orthogonal bending modes of primary mirror were obtained. Then, correction targets were fitted in bending modes to calculate the correction force. An 1.23 m SiC mirror and a support system were modeled by finite element analysis and the algorithm was verified by simulation experiments. Moreover, an active support system for the 1.23 m SiC mirror was set up to correct primary surface and a further optimization for the algorithm was conducted based on this system. The experiments show that the surface error is corrected from 0.23λ RMS to 0.048λ RMS by the proposed bending mode. Results of analysis and experiment demonstrate that the algorithm by bending mode efficiently reduces active force ranges and improves correction capability. It is significant for the active correction of large aperture SiC mirrors with high stiffness.

The principle of kinematic constraint was introduced, a design scheme of lateral positioning system for the primary mirror was proposed including the selection of location points and the design of flexure hinges and location bases, and then a lateral positioning system was implemented. With finite element method, the influences of the lateral positioning system on the large aperture primary mirror system was analyzed in several aspects, such as system location, resonant frequency and mirror surface profile. As the results, it shows that the resonant frequency of the primary mirror reaches 13.6 Hz, the average displacement of the primary mirror is -355.863 nm along the Y-axis direction, and the primary mirror surface profile is uninfluenced.

    To ensure the quality and efficiency of manufacturing and detecting large aperture optical systems, a method to improve the seeing metrological accuracy was proposed. By determining the wavefront slope with electronic autocollimators and a flat mirror, the relationship between slope information and mirror seeing was deduced. With the purpose to enhance the accuracy and to exceed the limit of only one autocollimator, three autocollimators were used to calibrate each other. To decrease errors, a hexapod platform was adopted to support the cube mirror to improve the accuracy to 0.01″. Moreover, hexapod platform errors induced from the test environment was estimated by the related principle of frequency response function. Finally, the normalized Point Source Sensitivity (PSSn) was deduced to evaluate the testing results. The simulation and experiment were performed. For mirror seeing, the slope power spectra and original power spectra in two different directions were calculated, and both PSSn in two directions are 0.999 based on the relation between power spectra and PSSn. This method can be used to quantitatively predict the mirror seeing of primary mirrors under actual working conditions of the telescopes.

    A wave-front processing algorithm was proposed based on Field Programming Gate Array(FPGA) for improving computational complexity and real-time ability of adaptive optical systems. The reuse of core processing module was used to calculate a wave-front slope, and the decomposition of matrix and vector was used to calculate the wave-front restoration. Under the synchronization of pixel clock, the whole wave front was processed and the momentum required by an actuator was given.

    To apply SiC mirror in a ground-based telescope, a flexible passive support system was designed on its high thermal expansion coefficient and high rigidity. In this system, a thin and long flexible rod was used in the axial support whiffletree structure and a flexure joint rod wad used in the lateral support structure. By which, the axial support structure and the lateral support structure could support the system respectively. This structure not only allows the primary mirror to be a good position and a shape but also easily eliminate assemble stress and thermal stress. The static analysis, thermal analysis and modal analysis for the mirror were performed under the support system, and then the analytical results were verified by a surface test, mirror inclination test and a displacement test. The test result of the primary mirror shows that the surface error(RMS) is λ/40(the optical axis is vertical) and that (RMS ) is λ/16 (the optical axis is horizontal), the maximum inclination change of the primary mirror at different pitch angles is 8 "and the displacement is 0.070 7 mm.The test results are basically consistent with the analysis results, meeting the design requirements.

    The pitching rotation of a telescope will cause the relative displacement between a primary mirror and its cell, and the displacement will influence on the stabilizing image of a telescope. To correct the relative displacement of the primary mirror, a method for stabilizing images of the primary mirror was proposed based on a hydraulic support to control the displacement between primary mirror and cell. A 1.23 m SiC mirror in our lab was used to complete the online measuring experiment and a mirror position measuring system with 6 Line Variable Differential Transformer(LVDT) was established. Under two cases with or without mage stabilizing technologies based on hydraulic support, the displacement between mirror and cell was measured, and the 5 freedom of mirror was computed by using the measured data from sensors. Experimental results indicate that the proposed technology based on hydraulic support has excellent stabilizing image ability. Under the case without the image stabilization technology, the mirror displacement of Z direction is about 150 μm and the angle around X axis is 2.5″ when the rotation angle of mirror is 40°. However, the X displacement has reduced to 3 μm and the angle reduced to 0.4″ when this technology is conducted. It concludes that the stabilizing image technology based on hydraulic support can implement the determination and control of primary mirror position in real time.

    A set of hydrostatic support system for a 4 m SiC mirror in-situ testing was designed to reduce the risk of ultra-large mirror off-line testing and to improve fabrication efficiency. Firstly, the analytical formula for calculating support stiffness was derived, and its main factor was found. Then, some support samples were tested, and the support stiffness of a single support unit in different groups was predicted by combining the sample results and analytical formula. Finally, the stability of the support system was evaluated by pressurization test and in-situ testing, and the mirror surface precision with its gravity offloaded by the support system was calculated by finite element simulation. Results show that the average stiffness is about 1.9 kN/mm with a relative difference among support units about 3% when 5 units are linked together, the stiffness for a single unit isolated is as high as 15 kN/mm, and 3 kinds of unit stiffness in the support system are 1.7, 1.1 and 0.8 kN/mm respectively. Moreover, pressurization test shows a slow pressure change, which indicates that the system is well sealed. When the hydrostatic system was used for a 4 m mirror, the height changes rise up and down within 50 μm in 11 days, and the relative change is less than 20 μm. When the mirror is supported on 54 units with stiffness difference by 3% randomly, the surface RMS is less than 20 nm. The proposed system meets the requirement of in-situ optical testing for precision and stability.

    A reasonable supporting structure between primary mirror and secondary mirror for a 1.2 m telescope was fabricated to meet its requirement for stiffness and the bandwidth of servo system. A four-vane spider effecting on the primary obstruction and secondary mirror stiffness was explored. The key parameters for the four-vane spider were selected by dynamic molding. Then, a finite element model was established in the ANSYS to perform static analysis and modal analysis. Finally, the modal analysis method was used to test the designed support structure. The finite element analysis shows that the designed structure effected by gravity induces about 0.004 2λ coma while the telescope points to the horizon, and the first-order modal frequency is about 57.2 Hz. The modal analysis indicates that the first-order resonance frequency is up to 54.1 Hz, which is in agreement with that of finite element analysis. Experimental results and FEA results are compared, and it shows that it is difficult to extract the modal when the vibration magnitude on the vane is smaller and obtained results are little smaller than that of the FEA, in which the maximum relative error is less than 7%. In conclusion, this design is not only a fewer obstruction but also an excellent stiffness, meeting the requirement of telescopes.

    According to the requirement of a large telescope driven by a permanent magnet synchronous motor( PMSM) for pointing precision and following precision, a sliding mode position controller was designed based on a friction model with backstepping approach. Firstly , the system model was established based on LuGre friction model and external disturbance. Then, a subsystem which is the furthest away from the control input was designed by inversion method. In the design process, the sliding mode control law was induced into each step of backstepping approach to attenuate the influence of nonlinearity friction and external disturbance on the pointing precision and following precision of the large telescope. The effectiveness of the proposed method was verified by theoretical simulation and experimental test. The experimental results demonstrate that the system has a good dynamic performance and is insensitive to the uncertainty factors such as disturbance. The stable pointing error is 0.048 51″ when the position command is 4.6″, which decreases 21.4% than that of the traditional PI controller. The stable following error is 0.031 26″ when the ramp position command 5 (″)/s, which decreases 30.1% than that of the traditional PI controller.

    An improved disturbance rejection control algorithm was proposed to overcome the velocity fluctuation caused by the disturbance torque in a large ground-based telescope. The algorithm consists of two closed-loop structures, an inner high-bandwidth current loop and an outer speed loop. The inner current loop is a PI controller. The outer loop is a speed controller adopting the linear active disturbance rejection controller. For the speed loop, an extended state observer is used to estimate the system disturbances, and the estimated disturbance is fed into the control system to form a composite correction system. To solve the problem of controller saturation caused by the large dynamic input, an anti-windup control algorithm was induced the input of the extended state observer to guarantee the stability and good dynamic characteristics of the system. The simulation and experimental results show that linear active disturbance rejection controller with anti-windup achieves fast response without overshoot at both high or low speeds as compared with the PI controller. In a low speed smoothing experiment, the algorithm improves the RMS value of speed error from 0.000 68(°)/s to 0.000 32(°)/s. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm effectively reduces the velocity fluctuation of the servo system caused by the motor torque ripple and improves its speed smooth.

    To improve the anti-disturbance performance and following tracking accuracy for the servo system in a large telescope, a torque compensation method based on a disturbance observer was proposed. With the method, the revised acceleration/deceleration control method was adopt to guide the telescope turntable oscillating in a little angle. Through measuring the velocity and current of a motor, the rotation inertia of the telescope turntable was indentified. Then, an acceleration estimator was designed to estimate the low-acceleration based on encoder feedback data by using the double integration and PD control method. Finally, based on the inertia identification and acceleration estimation, a disturbance observer was designed to estimate the external torque according to the motor current and turntable acceleration. Furthermore, the estimated disturbance torque was used to compensate the current input to correct reference currents . Experiment results demonstrate that after the observer is added, the following error RMS is reduced from 0.012 7″ to 0.0073″ at the sloop position of servo system to be 0.36 (″)/s. Compared with that without the disturbance torque observer, the following tracking jitter is reduced and the tracking accuracy is improved.

An iterative learning controller was designed to reduce the periodic torque ripples and a sliding mode controller was used to guarantee the fast response and strong robustness to further enhance the anti-disturbance ability of the system. Verification experiments were carried out, and the results demonstrate that when the motor is operating at a speed of 900 r/min, the robust ILC reduces the 6th harmonics amplitude from 0.89 to 0.56. When a sudden load 0.5 N·m is added to the system, the robust ILC gives a maximum speed fluctuation of 22 r/min. Compared with PI-ILC, the speed fluctuation is reduced by 1.4%. When the motor is operating at a speed of 60 r/min, the robust ILC reduces the 6th harmonics amplitude from 4.87 to 0.45. When a sudden load 0.5 N·m is added to the system, the robust ILC gives a maximum speed fluctuation of 24 r/min. Compared with that of a PI-ILC, the speed fluctuation is reduced by 23%. The experimental results indicate that the proposed robust ILC method improves the dynamic and robust performance of the speed servo system and suppresses the periodic torque ripples effectively.

The laser outputs were researched ,and the results show that the 589 nm laser outputs with the powers of 53, 42.6, 27 and 22 W are obtained under the conditions of 500, 600, 800 and 1000 Hz, and the corresponding sum-frequency efficiencies are 21.8%, 20.3%, 16.9 % and 16.3%, respectively. Moreover, the beam quality factor of M2 is 1.32 and the pulse width is 100 μs at the maximum power of yellow light. A control system compound by a PZT and a stepper motor was used to stabilize the frequency, and results indicate that the frequency fluctuation is in the range of ±0.2 GHz, which ensures that the wavelength of yellow light is within the D2a absorption spectrum of sodium atom. The research results iprovide a technologic support for generating 50 W high-power quasi-continuous microsecond pulse sodium guide lasers.

On the basis of the results, the degradation mechanism of photon transfer curve and conversion gain of the CMOS caused by irradiation is analyzed. The results point out that conversion gain degradation comes from the increses of dark current and the non-uniform noise of dark current caused by the proton radiation ionization effect and displacement effect.

    A new Soft Abrasive Grinding Wheel (SAGW) was developed for Chemo-mechanical Grinding (CMG) of silicon wafers to overcome the surface/subsurface damage of the silicon wafer machined by traditional ultra-precision grinding. According to the principle of the CMG and the material characteristics of monocrystalline silicon, the SAGW took the cerium oxide (CeO2) as abrasive, silicon dioxide (SiO2)as additive, and the chlorine oxide magnesium as binding agent. The preparation process of the SAGW was investigated, and its microstructure and composition were analyzed. By measuring the surface roughness, surface microstructure and the surface/subsurface damage, the grinding performance of the SAGW was further explored. In the end, fabricated silicon wafer with the same particle size by the SAGW, Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) and diamond grinding wheel was compared and analyzed. The results show that the surface roughness of the silicon wafer by the SAGW is less than 1 nm and its subsurface damage layer is about 30 nm in thickness , which is comparable to that produced by the CMG and much better than that of the diamond wheel.

    The circuit structure and noise characteristics of a high-speed spatial coherent balanced detector were analyzed, and the dependence of key technical parameters on the circuit structure of the balanced detector was clarified. Two kinds of high-speed spatial balanced photoelectric detectors were designed by using resistance sampling and double TIA (Transimpedance Amplifier) synthesis, and their performance parameters were verified by experiments. The experiments indicate that both kinds of high-speed coherent detectors can be used for high-speed coherent detection, while the detection sensitivity and anti-noise performance from the double TIA voltage synthesis balanced detector are better than those from the resistance sampling type detector. When the communication rate is 5Gbps and the bit error rate is 10-8, the optimal detection sensitivity of resistance sampling type balanced detector is -33.51 dBm, and that of the double TIA synthesis balanced detector is -43.4 dBm, higher nearly 8dB than that of the Discovery's 5Gbps balanced detector.

    For the low accuracy and bad consistency of blade edges in aero engines, a non-contact optical measuring system was established to measure the geometric dimensions and contour shapes of blade edges in a rapid and accurate way. In the system, a traditional coordinate measuring machine was taken as a platform, a special sensing device composed of two laser scanning sensors fixed at a certain angle to each other was taken as the front-end sensor and several data post-processing algorithms were integrated. In the measuring procedure, five transversals at the leading and trailing edges were selected and their contour information was measured to determine the geometric dimensions and machining allowance of the measured blade edges. The system could be used as a component of the manufacturing system to link the segments of designing, manufacturing and measuring of blades together. Finally, the leading and trailing edges of three sections of a blade after precision forging are measured by the system. The measuring results verify the effectiveness and practicability of the optical measuring system and show that the repeatability of the system meets the requirements for design and measuring of blade edges. In conclusion, the system could serve as an evaluating means for the machining quality of the leading and trailing edges of blades.

    As traditional orientation method depends heavily on measurement spaces and it is great difficult to implement the orientation of large dimension instruments in a limited space. Therefore, a two-face reciprocal orientation method was proposed to implement the orientation of a spherical coordinate measurement system in the limited space, and the theory analysis and experiment verification were performed by taking two laser trackers for example. With combination of measuring principle and working characteristics of laser trackers, the geometrical constraints of the method were constructed by motion characteristics of the probes in trackers. So, if the instruments to be measured were visible each other, they will be orientated by the smaller public view field. The mathematical modeling and optimization of this method were elaborated. Then, the experimental verification was performed on an establishment processing of circular measuring control network in Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility(SSRF). The results indicate that the precision of the proposed method is within 0.12 mm and the orientation rotation angle error is less than 1.5″when the two laser trackers are 5m away from each other. As compared to that of traditional orientation method, the measuring efficiency of the method has been obviously promoted with almost the same precision level in a limited space. The method can also be applied to other single station coordinate measuring systems.

    For the DC offsets caused by traditional implicit sequence based channel estimation in wireless optical communication links, a novel implicit sequence based channel estimation method was proposed to eliminate the DC offsets. Some key factors affecting the system performance were investigated. The maximum output Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) criterion was used to derive the optimal power allocation factor. Then, a simulation experiment was performed to evaluate its mean square error, bit error rate and computational complexity. The results show that the proposed method effectively eliminates the influence of DC offset. on the system performance. Compared to the traditional method, the mean square error is reduced by about 1/2 and the bit error rate is significantly improved. Under the optimal power distribution conditions, when the bit error rate is 4×10-3, the SNRs of 0.2 and 0.4 DC offset scenarios are improved by about 2 dB and 6d B, respectively, while the computational complexity is only increased by 14.2%.

    A camera in-line calibration method based on a line model was proposed. By automatically tracking the edge of an object, the internal and external parameters of the camera were solved linearly while the corresponding relationship between object edge and image edge was established. On the basis of the relationship and the initial values of internal and external parameters, the camera parameters were estimated optimally by developing a new error model between the model line and image line with the endpoint information. The simulation and experiment were performed. The internal and external parameters of the camera were calibrated by proposed method and traditional checkerboard interior angle method, and the calibration results were compared. The results only by using edge information show that the proposed method have the almost the same accuracy with the traditional method and the reprojection error(RMS) is 0.6 pixel. In conclusion, the proposed calibration method can implement the estimation of internal and external parameters only by using the object with a standard size and can obtain the same calibration precision as that of traditional method without preparation of the plane calibration object. It is more flexible and practical.
