A new composite system of azo polymer doped liquid crystal is reported. In this system, phase grating is formed after photoinduced trans-cis isomerization occurs on azo polymer and it separates with the liquid crystal. Through the establishment of a multi-exponential model the refractive index changes of phase grating in the He-Ne laser irradiation are studied. And through adding continuously variable voltage to polymer-doped liquid crystal sample, its response to the electric field is studied. At the same time, the evolution of monomer doped liquid crystal with light and electric fields is studied. The results have shown that the refractive index change in sample of photoinduced polymer doped liquid crystal is saturated after 45 s and the relaxation time is 10 min.The saturation and relaxation time are respectively 0.17 s and 0.9 s when the sample is monomer-doped liquid crystal. The grating diffraction efficiency will suddenly drop down when the electric field reaches 1.0 V, 1.4 V and 2.6 V and 4.0 V, while that of monomer presents no significant changes.

    The manufacture of high-line-density X-ray transmission gratings for X-ray spectroscopy by using electron beam lithography and X-ray lithography was reported. Firstly, a master mask was fabricated on polyimide membrane by electron beam lithography and micro-electroplation. Secondly, X-ray transmission gratings were efficiently replicated by X-ray lithography and micro-electroplating.

    A non-contact cascaded dual-layer sub-wavelength grating is presented. It can broaden the spectral peak linewidth, modify the spectral lineshape and improve the optical variable effect of basic sub-wavelength gratings. It is a kind of security grating configuration with potential for achieving application in industry. The mechanisms for the broadened linewidth and improved lineshape are analyzed and validated with the vector diffraction theory. The structural parameters of dual-layer gratings with special requirements of change in color are optimized and their optical variable characteristics are also studied. The results show the spectral lineshape of dual-layer gratings cascaded in phase is similar to that of basic gratings with a linewidth twice that of basic gratings; the out-of-phase arrangement yields lineshape exhibiting broadened peaks and narrower bases with a wider linewidth. Dual-layer gratings always show optical variable effect when tilted at traditional or nontraditional incident illumination and the optical variable velocity of the former is the quicker than that of the latter which can be used to design and fabricate anisotropic optical variable image devices.

    Some wrong points are found about the formula of the refractive index distribution in volume hologram grating recorded linearly in some literatures when the nonlinear recording spectral properties of volume hologram are discussed. The formula of the refractive index distribution is discussed again when recorded linearly. The light intensity ratio and the total light intensity refractive index modulation coefficient are added into the formula, and the diffraction spectral of gratings versus different light intensity ratio and total light intensity refractive index modulation coefficient are calculated in the coupled-wave theory. The calculational results show that the primary peak values of diffraction spectrum reduce slightly when the light intensity refractive index modulation coefficient or the light intensity ratio decreases, but the secondary peak value, decreases obviously and the bandwidth becomes narrow greatly with those conditions.

    The evolution equations for the parameters of Gaussian pulse with propagation distance in optical fibers is derived, considering high-order dispersion and the fifth-order nonlinearity by means of variational method from the modified nonlinear Schrdinger (MNLS) equation. Then, the relations between amplitude and width, frequency and chirp, width and chirp are obtained. The analytical solution about the pulse width and pulse center evolution on the propagation distance is obtained. The graph of the pulse width evolution with transmission distance is described. The results show that the high-order dispersion and fifth-order nonlinearity in fiber will affect Gaussian pulse parameters of evolution, but the adiabatic relation between the pulse width and amplitude has not been changed. High-order dispersion causes the compression of Gaussian pulse width spread, and the fifth-order nonlinearity causes Gaussian pulse width, which may offset the pulse width or the influence of the initial chirp in a certain degree, and thus realize the conformal pulse transmission.

    A new scheme of one-dimensional metal heterowaveguide array is proposed that the core layer of the metal waveguide is periodically modulated. Numerical results reveal that, periodic modulation of the core layer of metal waveguide induces the periodic modulation of the effective refraction index of the surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) in the waveguide, which opens up an SPP band gap around a certain waveband, such as waveband around 1550 nm. Further numerical results reveal that, the SPP mode resonance with high quality for example Q=556 can be obtained at some wavelength by introducing a proper defect waveguide layer. The results can be applied to the subwavelength Bragg reflectors, light emitters and filters, and could be also availabe for the future integrated optics.

    By the combination of data intensity modulated pump and continuous wave pump or sinusoidal intensity modulated pump, all optical multi-wavelength conversion and multi-wavelength conversion with data format conversion are presented by using a dual-pumped fiber optical parametric amplifier (FOPA). The operation principle is analyzed with respect to the gain. Experimentally, the multi-wavelength conversion and multi-wavelength conversion with data format conversion between non-return-to-zero (NRZ) and return-to-zero (RZ) are demonstrated under the bit rate of 2.5Gb/s. The experimental results indicate that the dual-pumped fiber optical parametric amplifier is able to implement multi-wavelength conversion to achieve normal and invert pattern with some degree of regeneration. The data format conversion gives the signal with duty ratio of 30% and improved extinction ratio.

    An novel image fusion algorithm of remote polarimetric image based on wavelet transform is proposed. At first, three polarimtric images in each band of two bands are decomposed into images of low frequency band and high frequency band by wavelet transform. The fused low frequency approximate coefficients are obtained with average method, and the fused high frequency detailed coefficients are obtained with different area-based feature selection method by setting each coefficient equaling the corresponding input image wavelet coefficients that has the greatest multi-window local deviation. One image in 555 band and the other in 665 band are obtained. Then, the algorithm decomposes the two images in one band into parts with low frequency band and high frequency band by wavelet transform, it adopt the minimum low frequency image wavelet coefficients as the fused low frequency image wavelet coefficients, and high frequency image fusion rules based on the texture detection algorithm of texture homogeneity measurement are used to adjust high frequency image wavelet coefficients. The low frequency component and orientation detail component of image are fused pertinently, features and details from different images are fused successfully and the quality of these fusion images is compared. The experimental result shows that the fused images present the polarization information, acquire more spectral information and higher contrast, and object detection and recognition can be more easy with fused images.

    Based on depth characteristic of multi-view images, an image region partition and regional disparity estimation algorithm via block matching is proposed. Firstly, based on the concept of the depth object, the number of regions is determined and corresponding regional disparities are estimated. Then, the initial image region partition is obtained by minimizing the block matching error. When the number of the blocks in a region is less than a threshold, the region is eliminated, and all the blocks in this region are reassigned to other regions according to the region merging algorithm. The region merging process is iteratively executed to obtain valid region partition results. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively partition image regions with different depths and accurately estimate corresponding regional disparities.

    X-ray phase contrast imaging always provides high density resolution for weakly absorbing material, and shows wide prospect of application in many fields such as medicine, biology and material science. However, due to the limitation of interferometic imaging method, diffraction enhanced imaging method and in-line imaging method, these methods need either highly coherent or highly monochromatic X-ray, and cannot provide a large field of view, none of them is very widely used. Grating imaging overcomes the limitations of above imaging methods and enables phase contrast imaging to develop into the form of cone-beam imaging. The research of the reconstruction algorithm of cone-beam phase X-ray computer tomography (CT) is studied, based on the characteristic of cone-beam grating imaging and the theory of Feldkamp-Davis-Kress (FDK) reconstruction algorithm. This method belongs to filtered back-projection and can reconstruct the phase item of object directly with the derivative of the phase term as projection, and the algorithm is proved by simulated results.

    To control critical dimension (CD) effectively, bulk effect is studied in hyper-numerical aperture (NA) optical lithography and a novel optimization strategy for resist film stacks is developed to balance bulk effect with appropriate swing effect. Firstly, the incident angle distribution of imaging light is evaluated based on NA and coherence factor σ settings, so that the average energy () absorbed per unit volume in the resist at the resist bottom surface is calculated over the whole range of incident angle. Secondly, the analytic relationship between and resist thickness (d) is obtained by fitting with least-squares procedure and the derivative of with respect to d is calculated. Lastly, the resist film stacks are optimized to minimize the derivative of . With the optimized thin-film stack structure design, the CD variation with resist thickness is obtained by using commercial software Prolith 9.0. The results show that the optimization strategy can effectively overcome CD variation from the bulk effect over the thickness range of 30~40 nm.

    Evaluation of step height standard with high accuracy is realized using a nano-measuring machine (NMM) integrated with a focusing sensor. The measuring range of the system is up to 25 mm×25 mm×5 mm. The operating principle of the NMM is described. NMM has high accuracy positioning and scanning performance through real-time measurement and feedback of built-in laser interferometers and angular sensors. The focusing sensor is only used as a zero point sensor, intersected at the same point with the three laser beams, which eliminates Abbe error. The output signal of the focusing sensor is introduced into the digital signal processing (DSP) controller of the NMM. The NMM will also measure data in z direction at the same time, which minimizes the influence of the focusing sensor's nonlinearity. According to the international standard of ISO 5436-1:2000, a calibrated step height is measured. The root-mean-square (RMS) deviation of 14 times measurements is 0.237 nm.

    Aiming at the LAMOST project, the largest sky survey project implemented in China, a novel method for automatic recognition of emission-line stars (ELS) based on detection of spectral lines is proposed. This method consists of three main steps: 1) the integral information of spectral lines is calculated by obtaining the correlations of the features of spectral lines; 2) the stellar Balmer lines are detected based on the features of stellar spectral lines; 3) the ELSs are automatically recognized by using the threshold of the correlations and the results of the stellar Balmer lines. In the experiments with all observed spectra from the sloan digital sky survey (SDSS) DR4, 242 peculiar celestial bodies with the stellar emission lines are obtained. According to the Simbad reference database, they are the celestial bodies include ELSs, cataclysmic variable stars (CVS), and unknown peculiar celestial bodies, etc.. The extensive experiments with observed spectra show that the proposed method can automatically recognize ELS effectively.

    Ratio of self-mixing interference amplitude and static light intensity from a laser diode is only a few percent based on experimental observation. Feedback light decreases threshold current of laser diode and increases the static light intensity. The feedback light makes laser diode operate over the actual threshold current. The output intensity of laser diode is calculated with a three-mirror Fabry-Pérot cavity system. An equation between light frequency and feedback light is found from the main maximum condition of interference function. Signal waveform of self-mixing interference and ratio of the signal amplitude with the static light intensity are calculated, and the results are coincident with that measured experimentally. There are 15 resonance modes of complex cavity in the case of τrC/τi=22.8 at the same time. The variations of these resonance modes with external cavity length are less than 2.6×10-2 cm-1 and far less than 3.1 cm-1resonance mode width of Fabry-Pérot cavity. The variation of the light frequency is within the resonance mode width of inherent cavity.

    Pattern matching tool of normalized cross correlation operator (NCCO) computation C*(x) for ideal images can be determined by analytical expression Z(x). Compared with C*(x), C(x) of NCCO matching between images containing noise shows a little difference. But there is a property of zero similarity invariance (ZSI). A method of image resolution calibration in microscopic vision was proposed. Firstly, similarity functions of rectangular feature in x direction Z(x) were derived and proved. Then C(x)=0 was solved as an approximation of solution of Z(x). The detailed ZSI based calibrating algorithm was illuminated. The results of simulating image experiments show that the calibration accuracy of the algorithm can reach 0.1~0.2 pixel. Finally, the practical experiments were conducted on a hybrid microassembly workcell. Experimental results show that the calibration precision of the algorithm can reach 0.08 pixel. The ZSI based calibrating algorithm is a method with practical value and subpixel precision.

    Based on the multi-pole method, a kind of step-structure photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is put forward. It has achieved flattened and ultra-flattened dispersion within the wave band of 1.1~1.8 μm by altering three structural parameters of the inner four rings (the diameter of the two inner rings holes, the diameter of the two outer rings holes, and the pitch), the absolute value of dispersion coefficient merely changing from 0.05~2 ps/(km·nm). Moreover, the effective mode-field area also has been stimulated, which is only 1/30 of that of conventional PCFs, showing that the PCFs with flattened and ultra-flattened dispersion do well in confining the light field compared with conventional PCFs. With numerical calculation and theoretic analysis, the design basis of this kind of step-structure PCF to achieve flattend and ultra-flattend dispersion within the wave band of 1.1~1.8 μm is concluded.

    The bending losses in refractive index-guiding photonic crystal fiber (PCF) and photonic band-gap fiber are analyzed by using equivalent straight fiber approximation and finite difference frequency domain (FDFD) method with anisotropic perfectly matched layers (PML) boundary conditions. The bending loss oscillations in the two kinds of PCFs are observed by simulating the relationship between the bending loss and bending radius, and the origin of the loss oscillations was analyzed. The cladding modes corresponding to loss peaks are identified. Results show that the oscillations are caused by the coupling between the fundamental mode and the cladding modes. Moreover, the origin of oscillations in index-guiding PCF is similar to that of conventional double-clad fiber, while the oscillations in the photonic band-gap fiber are caused by two different kinds of cladding modes.

    A rigorous vector analysis model based on body-of-revolution (BOR) finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method is presented, many design examples of multilevel circular microlens are analyzed by this model, and the influence of design parameters and fabrication error on the focusing performance of the designed microlens is investigated. The results show that the electric field magnitude on focus increases, and the focal radius and focal depth minish when the zone number is increased but other parameters such as focal length and incident wavelength are constant. The focusing effect is intensified when adding step number only, but after the step number adds to 8~10, the focusing effect tends to be stable. It's suggested that the step number is set as 8~10 in actual fabrication. When binary mask is used to lithograph the multilevel, fabrication error is easily generated. Two kinds of multilevel microlens with alignment error or system etching error are designed, which generate the above error in the third etching process of fabricating eight levels. Analysis result shows that the alignment error has passive influence on the focusing effect of multilevel microlens, so it should be avoided in fabrication, but the system etching error has little influence on the focusing effect of multilevel microlens.

The principle and method of IBF are introduced, and the key techniques required to implement an IBF process are also discussed. To demonstrate an IBF process, a 98 mm planar ceramic glass was processed on an IBF system. Its surface figure accuracy root-mean-square (RMS) is improved from initial 0.136λ to final 0.010λ(λ=632.8 nm) through two IBF processes, and the mean iterative convergence ratio is 3.7. The result shows that the IBF is a deterministic process, which results in a high surface figure accuracy without edge effect and a corresponding high convergence ratio of surface figure. Due to the unique characteristic of the sputtering process in IBF, machining an aspheric surface is no more difficult than machining a planar surface.

The processing is simulated with Matlab software. Diffraction light distribution of the 2D modulator is the coherent superposition of diffraction light distribution of modulators, and the distribution is similar to that of a single modulator. The diffraction light can be divided and imaged by the projection lens based on the anti-Fourier transform process. If the first-order diffraction light is used as the projection light, the modulator with 2kπ phase difference shows a bright pixel in the image plane, but the modulator with (2k-1)π phase difference shows a black pixel. A projection system based on a static micro-electromethanical system (MEMS) grating light modulator array was setup, and a static image is gotten. The result proves the feasibility of grating light modulator for projection display.

    A new design method for a variable-focus optical system without mechanical movements is proposed. It is quite different from that for traditional variable-focus optical systems, and changes the focal length of the system by regulating the relative position of the lenses with a motor. An extended Young's equation suited for double-liquid variable-focus lenses is derived by means of Helmholtz free energy minimization method. The traditional Young's equation based on vapor-liquid-solid tri-phase systems is extended to liquid-liquid-solid systems. Based on the cylindrical double-liquid variable-focus lenses, a new-type variable-focus optical system is presented. The conditions under which the optical system with appropriate applied voltages cannot only change the focal length but also keep the image plane stable simultaneously are researched. The corresponding simulation results show that the zoom ratio of the system can reach about 1∶1.5.

    To study the effects of the pyrimidine ring with -NH2 on transient luminescence properties in ruthenium complexes bonding to DNA, transient luminescence dynamics process of two ruthenium complexes [Ru(bpy)2(dpbpd(NH2)2)]2+ and [Ru(phen)2(dpbpd(NH2)2)]2+bonding to calf thymus DNA(ctDNA) have been studied by using time-resolved spectroscopy, and the results are compared with results in previous researches. Two complexes both show biexponential decay in emission on bonding to DNA, and the luminescence lifetime is within tens of nanoseconds, about ten times shorter than the luminescence lifetime (several hundreds nanoseconds) of dppz-kind ruthenium complexes. It is attributed to that the hydrogen-bonds may form between N or -NH2 of pyrimidine ring and water molecule, base pairs or phosphoric skeleton. The hydrogen-bonds can quicken the nonradiative decay of the excitated state, weaken the luminescence intensity, and shorten the luminescence lifetime. The conclusion offers an argument to study the interaction mechanism for the complex bonding to DNA.

The transform function of charge multiplication in CCM was presented based on Z transform, as well as the amplitude-frequency response. The results show that amplitude-frequency response of CCM increases as the charge multiplication ratio increases. Then gain-fluctuation was studied with the gain-fluctuation factor, and the relation between gain-fluctuation factor, charge multiplication ratio α and CCM stages N was obtained. The numerical results show that the gain-fluctuation factor increases as α increases for α≤0.15 and N=400, but the gain-fluctuation factor decreases as α increases for α≥0.15.

And then, simulation of phase screen (PS) distorted by atmospheric turbulence following the von Karman spectrum by using Fourier transform is implemented in order to simulate turbulence. Finally, simulation shows that in the vacuum azimuth preprocessing can remove the ambiguity of the image and the modified algorithm can eliminate the loss of peak power about 8.6~9.3 dB and the defocusing phenomenon, while considering the effect of the atmospheric turbulence, if the synthetic aperture length does not exceed the similar Fried parameter of the atmosphere for SAIL, a well focused image can be obtained.

    The experimental setup for polarization imaging based on dual-rotating-retarder technique is modified, and a method to obtain two images encoded by polarization degree and intensity with a single measurement process is proposed. The optical intensity method is used to the laser remote sensing polarization imaging equipment. Through the application of Stokes and Mueller matrices for polarization elements, the principle, method and process of corresponding optical elements adjustment are given. The influence of laser central wavelength variation, polarizer angle error, wave plate phase retardance and angle errors on the whole system is analyzed. The results show that the emitted Stokes error caused by the angle error of polarizer and wave plate is less than 0.001, and can be neglected. The error caused by the retardance accuracy of wave plate is about 0.02, so the wave plate with higher accuracy should be selected. The influence caused by variation of laser central wavelength is the largest, and cannot be neglected, so a filter should be added to control the central wavelength of the received light at 808 nm.

    A kind of phase-biased telescope used as the laser transmitting antenna for a synthetic-aperture laser imaging radar is reported. An additional quadratic phase can be produced onto the wavefront of laser illumination by using a spatial phase plate together with a defocusing in the telescope. Such an arrangement is flexible to generate a quadratic phase history necessary for the synthetic-aperture imaging along the azimuth-direction, particularly a phase history for a required imaging resolution.

    A new passive synthetic aperture imaging detection method is presented. The radiation signal of field of view is received and amplified, and then the amplitude and phase information of the amplified signal is modulated to an optical carrier by electro-optic modulator. The optical signal is transmitted by fibers and a fiber array is shaped by the end of the fibers .The image is formed synchronously and directly by an optical system using the fiber array. The imaging approach can be used in extremely high resolution detection at microwave, millimeter wave, and terahertz frequencies. The application of the electro-optic modulation technique in passived synthetic aperture imaging is analyzed deeply and the model of electro-optic modulation is established. And the approximation of small signal modulation in the electro-optic modulation is discussed. By simulating computation and analysis, the intensity constraint of the modulated signal in an electro-optic modulator is gained. Result shows that the full-width at half maximum (FWHM) and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with upconversion electro-optic modulation and optical information processing are both better than those with traditional downconversion imaging technique.

    The optical transmission with plane wave incidence on the rough surface of layered medium is studied, the formulae of the transmission coefficient for different polarization states is derived using the perturbation method. An exponentially distributed rough surface is presented for describing the practical rough surface of layered medium, the transmission coefficient of HH polarization with the scattering angle of transmission wave is obtained by numerical calculation. The numerical results show that the transmission coefficient almost does not change with permittivity of the substrate medium. The magnitude and curve of the angular distribution for the transmission coefficient are affected by the the permittivity of intermediate medium. As the mean layer thickness of intermediate medium increases twice over, the period of the curves will decrease one half. The rough surface influences the magnitude of the transmission coefficient and the amplitude of the curve, the correlation length of the rough surface influences the magnitude of the transmission coefficient, the amplitude and varying trend of the curves. The transmission coefficient decreases oscillatorily with increase of the incident wavelength.

    Small suprathreshold color-difference (about 3 ΔE*ab units) chromaticity ellipses at 16 color centers in the a*b* plane of CIELAB space were measured using the psychophysical method of constant stimuli. The corresponding chroma weighting function SC_ZJU07 and hue weighting function SH_ZJU07 were respectively fitted based on the chroma- and hue-difference data of 16 non-neutral-color color centers from this study and RIT-Dupont datasets. The chroma and hue weighting functions of six CIELAB-based color-difference formulae together with SC_ZJU07 and SH_ZJU07 were compared, and the detailed analysis indicates that SC_ZJU07 and SH_ZJU07 perform best. For the chroma-difference data, the predicting performances of chroma weighting functions of all the six formulae are not good, while for the hue-difference data, the hue weighting functions of CIEDE2000 obviously outperform the others.
