The interferometer is core of spatially modulated polarization interference imaging spectroscopy, the key component of the interferometer is Savart polariscope. The throughput of spatially modulated polarization interference imaging spectroscope is directly determined by transmissivity in Savart polariscope, thus affects forming the interferogram and target image. There is necessary to study the influence of transmission in Savart polariscope on throughput. After introducing the structure of interferometer, on the basis of electromagnetic field boundary conditions and the law of refraction-transmission and light intensity were obtained in Savart polariscope of the four interfaces: air /the left plate of Savart polariscope; the left plate of Savart polariscope/adhesive; adhesive/the right plate of Savart polariscope; the right plate of Savart polariscope/air, at the same time the light intensity is got after the two light beams interfere in through interferometer.The interference overall intensity is obtained by using light superposition principle,the mathematical expression of the transmissivity and throughput is solved. Through the relationship between the transmissivity and throughput, the influence of transmissivity in Savart polariscope on throughput can be intuitively known, this may provide a theoretical basis for the study of spatially modulated polarization interference imaging spectroscopy.

    A beam cleanup subsystem is usually contained in high power laser system to correct for the wavefront aberrations of the output beam of the laser resonator continuously. To investigate the feasibility of the stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) adaptive optics method on beam cleanup issue, dynamical wavefront aberrations, analogous to the commonly encountered wavefront distortions in high power laser beams, are first introduced into the experimental laser beam by continuously changing the surface shape of a 37-element deformable mirror incorporated in the system according to the iteration sequence of the SPGD algorithm, and then the same deformable mirror is used to correct for the produced aberrations by applying the SPGD algorithm to upgrade the control voltages of the mirror actuators. The experimental results show that, when the initial aberrations of the system being removed, the dynamic wavefront aberrations of the laser beam can be compensated successfully and the beam quality remains on a high level during the whole correction period with the system working on simulated iteration rates of 1 kHz and 2 kHz respectively. It is indicated that the SPGD adaptive optics method is feasible on beam cleanup system.

    A hyperspectral system for real-time observation of ocean color is developed. The system includes three main units: an optical-fiber-based hyperspectroradiometer for in situ measurements of upwelling radiance and downwelling irradiance both at sea surface and at underwater depths, a moored buoy platform suitable for loading the hyperspectroradiometers and other auxiliary sensors, and an electrionic system for data acquisition and real time data communication. A six-channel optical fiber spectroradiometer is designed, which can simultaneously measure parameters at different depths. The large dynamic range of the spectroradiometer is achieved by auto-adjusting the integration time of CCD array detector. The use of optical fiber makes it possible to minimize the collector of sensor, and thus the instrument self-shading effect is reduced. An auto-driving mechanical brush is designed for optical sensor, which prevents the sensors from bio-fouling and enables the sensors to work well underwater. The characteristics of the system were tested in laboratory, and the buoy was deployed in near-shore waters for 36 days in situ experimental testing. Experimental results show that, the errors for the optical parameters are within ±5%, and the buoy has a good stability at high sea state conditions, and the data acquisition and electronic communication system is reliable and effective.

    Typical particles such as ice crystal, dust and black carbon are selected. to study the changing tendency of scattering phase function with prolate spheroidic mono-disperse aerosol particles with different aspect ratio, size parameter and refractive index by T-matrix. When the imaginary part of refractive index is neglected, for ice crystal with aspect ratio of 0.4 and spherical particle with the same surface area, their phase function ratio, ρ, is divided into five regions: 1) ρ≈1, the region of nearly direct forward scattering, 2) ρ>1, from about 5° to 30°, 3) ρ<1, from about 30°~35° to 80°~110°, 4) ρ1, from about 80°~110°to 150°~160°, 5) ρ1, the field after 160°. In the same circumstances, for the change of refractive index, the field of ρ<1 for dust spreads to a larger angle region, but that corresponding to the fields of ρ1 and ρ1 all shrinks, however the number of ρ-value regions of carbon reduces to 3 since the regions of ρ1 and ρ1 disappear. Theoretical foundation is provided with measurement of aerosol to distinguish prolate spheroidic particles.

    In numerical simulation of light propagation through the atmosphere with the phase compensation by an adaptive optical system including temporal evolution, such as very long exposure imaging and simulation of the dynamic control process in an adaptive optical system, the generation and application of rectangular turbulence phase screens are critical. But the widely-used spectral approach can only generate square phase screen, and wastes the computational resource because only a rectangular portion of the square phase screen is practically utilized. Furthermore, the spectral phase screen needs low-frequency modification, so that needs more computation. Based on the fractal characteristics of turbulence-distorted wavefront, a new algorithm for generating rectangular turbulent phase screen is proposed. The phase structure function of generated phase screens agrees well with the theoretical one. Compared with existing approaches, the present algorithm shows obvious advantages: simplicity, high efficiency and less computation resource. The generated phase screen agrees with theoretical results from turbulent statistical characteristics, in the low- and high-frequency region.

    Diffractive surface of a two-layer diffractive optical element (DOE) is simulated approximately by step surface of binary optical element, and phase shift of a two-layer DOE for light of oblique incidence is deduced from phase shift of a single-layer binary optical element. The expression of diffraction efficiency of the two-layer DOE is presented. Simulation shows that the diffraction efficiency of a two-layer DOE changes slightly when the incident angle is small, but it decreases greatly when incident angle increases. Diffraction efficiency changes little when the incident angle increases to 4.5°, decreases slowly to 95% when the incident angle increases 6.7°, decreases to 80% when the incident angle change increases to 9.5°, and decreases rapidly to zero when the incident angle increases to 18°.

    Based on Fourier transform, the ultra-short pulsed Gaussian laser beam is transformed into linear combinations of monochromatic plane waves. Depending on Kogelnik′s one-dimensional coupled-wave theory, the diffraction characteristics of monochromatic plane waves by transmitting volume grating are put forward, when the central wave vector satisfies the Bragg condition of the volume grating. With the inverse Fourier transform of diffraction of monochromatic plane waves, the law of spatial and temporal intensing distribution of diffractive beam with different parameters of volume grating is given. The results show that diffractive laser beam is broadened in the temporal and spatial domains, in the plane comprising of the grating vector and the normal vector of the grating front surface, with the decreasing period of the transmitting volume grating. Its broadening trend in the spatial domain is faster than that in the temporal domain. Compared with input ultra-short pulsed Gaussian laser beam, the diffractive laser beam is deteriorated obviously in the spatial domain. Diffractive laser beam is broadened in the temporal and spatial domains in the plane comprising of the grating vector and the normal vector of the grating front surface, with the increasing thickness of the grating. And its broadening trend is equal to each other in the spatial and in temporal domains. Compared with the input ultra-short pulsed Gaussian laser beam, the diffractive laser beam is deteriorated both in the temporal and spatial domains.

    It still lacks of systematic method for solving pose estimation of a multiple camera system (MCS). The pose-estimation problem is usually achieved by solving the Perspective-n-point problem or finding the least-squared-error rigid transformation between two 3D point sets. They have limitations. The orthogonal iteration (OI) algorithm is charalteristic can converge fast and globally is based on points. And it is one of the state-of-art real-time pose estimation algorithms and used widely. A generalized iterative algorithm is proposed. It is a universal multi-view algorithm for pose estimation. In the method, all images acquired from the cameras are treated as a whole, and the relative pose parameter is calculated this method, datum of multiple cameras is unified, and the sum of object-space collinearity error of feature points all cameras sensed is used as error function for MCS. An iterative algorithm is developed to minimize the error function. The experiment result demonstrates its effectiveness and superiority of the algorithm for pose estimation of MCS.

    Satellite retroreflector is used as laser ranging cooperative target to improve the intensity of reflected beam, which has close relationship with processing parameters of the retroreflector. Based on geometrical structure of retroreflector and vector form of reflection-refraction law, mathematical models with phase distribution of returned beam, and far-field diffraction pattern (FFDP) are built up for retroreflector with dihedral angle error and flatness error. As for retroreflector with circular section, FFDP under different incident conditions of laser beam, dihedral angle error and flatness error is simulated. Meantime, the rules of their effect on FFDP are analysed at length. Simulated results express that the divergence of FFDP is increased with dihedral angle error, flatness error and laser incident angle. In terms of FFDP and velocity aberration compensation theory, a new method of using dihedral angle offset for compensating velocity aberration in large observation range is put forward.

    Based on the measured spectral reflectivity and the spectral signature of atmosphere radiation, a waveband selection method is given to detect target outside atmosphere. The reflection spectra of the samples and standard board are measured, and the spectral reflectivity of the samples is obtained. In order to improve the target identification, waveband selection is proceeded after considering the target radiation, the spectral reflectivity, the background radiation, the target-background contrast, the transmittance of slanting path and so on. The typical spectral characteristics of the above considerations are calculated by the atmospheric transmission model software MODTRAN and analyzed. The results show that 0.76~0.90 μm is the optimal detection waveband for target with yellow aluminium-coated polyester thin-film, and 0.52~0.60 μm for target with silver aluminium-coated polyester thin-film.

    By analyzing two characteristics of an interference multispectral image data, a compression algorithm based on adaptive classification and curve-fitting is proposed. The image is partitioned adaptively into intensive interference region and weak interference region by the mean square deviation criterion. Different fitting functions are constructed for the two regions respectively. For the intensive interference region, some typical interference curves are selected to predict other curves, and they are fitted by least square method. For the weak interference region, the data of each interference curve are approximated independently. Finally all the approximating errors of two regions are entropy coded. The experimental results show that, compared with JPEG2000, the proposed algorithm not only decreases the average output bit-rate by about 0.2 bit/pixel for lossless compression, but also improves the reconstructed images and reduces the spectral distortion, especially at high bit-rate for lossy compression.

The technique is applied to the first layer of the layered space-time code (LST) to increase the diversity of the information symbol. The effect of other layers on the symbol is eliminated by using group interference suppression (GIS). The signal is recovered by combining the decoding method of space-time block code (STBC) and Bell Labs Louyered Space-Time (BLAST) and maximum likelihood decision rule. The feasibility of the technique is proved by the simulation experiment. It shows that in free space optical communication the error rate performance of hybrid space-time code is better than BLAST.

    We propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel dual-channel polarization shift-keying (PolSK) optical transmission system, in which two semiconductor amplifiers (SOAs) are cascaded as two individual all-optical polarization modulators for each channel. The formed PolSK signals have four states of polarization (SOP), constituting two orthogonal binary data channels. Each channel can independently transmit data streams with different formats, bit rates and clock signals. The transmitted PolSK signals can be directly detected, it greatly simplifies the design of the receiver and eventually reduces the system cost. With this scheme, the system capacity for data transmissions can be doubled. Furthermore, due to the constant optical power of PolSK signals, the transmission system can enhance its tolerance to nonlinear effects in the fiber link, increase its long-distance transmission capacity. The SOPs of received signals are easily tracked by using two polarization stabilizers in each branch of the receiver, respectively, in order to achieve a stable signal receiving. The experimental setup based on the proposed scheme was constituted and several basic experiments were carried out for investigating the system’s performance. The long-distance data transmissions over 50 km, 80 km and 100 km fiber links, respectively, are carried out and the experimental results prove that the feasibility of our proposed scheme is validated.

The experimental results show that the peak separation of Panda fiber gratings increases with pressure, and -4.08 pm/MPa the pressure sensitivity along fast axis is stronger than that -3.5 pm/MPa along slow. The influence of fiber structure on pressure sensing characteristics is studied through theoretical calculation and experimental measurement, and the results show that the pressure sensing coefficients of panda fiber gratings are linear with the square of the ratio of radius to distance of stress applied zone. The contrastive experimental results show that the Panda fiber grating cannot be used to measure thermally-insensitive pressure through testing its peak separation.

    In the non-blind image restoration of the computational optical sectioning microscopy (COSM), the acquisition of accurate point spread function of the system has a major impact on the quality and the stability of image restoration. There are two ways to access the point spread function in general: numerical calculation and physical measurements. Numerical calculation has heavy computational burden and more parameters which always cannot be accurately estimated, hence, it has some limitations in practical application; the point spread function accessed by physical measurements can embody the optical properties of the microscope system most properly, but it has low signal\|to\|noise ratio (SNR), it must be pre-processed before used. A detailed introduction of the principle about how to use the extended Nijboer-Zernike theory (ENZ) to reconstruct the point spread function accessed by physical measurements is given. Experiments proved that this method can rapidly and accurately reconstruct the 3D point spread function of the microscope and raise its SNR.

    A new minimum-discontinuity unwrapping algorithm based on edge detection is proposed to overcome the disadvantage of Flynn′s minimum-discontinuity approach and unwrap the wrapped phase images rapidly and efficiently. In the new algorithm, isolated noisy pixels are excluded from the scanning areas of searching for improving loops firstly, and then the phase′s discontinuous areas within wrapped phase image are detected based on edge detection techniques and taken as the scanning areas. Because the required scanning range is cut down to a large extent by use of edge detection methods, the efficiency of the minimum-discontinuity phase unwrapping algorithm is significantly improved. The principle and implementation steps of the new algorithm are described in detail, and some computer simulation and experimental wrapped phase images are used to verify the effectiveness of the algorithm. Unwrapped results show that the proposed algorithm works perfectly and is more effective than the Flynn′s minimum discontinuity-approach.

Base on the theory of optical transfer function, dynamic modulation transfer function (MTF) is obtained by applying the conception that probability density function of motion is equal to point/line spread function of optical system. The influence of linear motion, sinusoidal vibration and random vibration is developed respectively. With the help of Matlab software, dynamic MTF is simulated, and the drawn conclusion is consistent with the results of the other literatures. This method can be expanded to two-dimensional motion. Vibrational MTF is compared with that under static condition, and the results are consistent with simulation curve with a 30% decrease at the Nyquist frequency. The method can be applied for forecasting and evaluating image quality on aerial camera and other optoelectronic systems, and the results can be used in deconvolution filter to realize image restoration.

The simulated results show Mexican hat wavelet transform method has good performance in spatial localization and high accuracy both in the neighborhood of the height-discontinuous points and in the areas with sharply varying height, and the errors can be reduced by 0.1 rad~0.5 rad. The experiment for the fringe image of a plaster face shows Mexican wavelet transform method has smaller error propagation and higher precision than Morlet wavelet method in the areas with incontinuous or sharply varying height.

    Demodulation algorithm is a very important part in the Sagnac interferometer system. In the demodulation process of some digital open-loop algorithms, some special phase points will confuse with each other and cause an error output value. Based on the theoretical analysis of special phase points, a virtual optical-fiber Sagnac interferometer system with integrated circuit chip is designed and implemented. This system can easily solve the problem of special phase point measurement in demodulation system, and judge whether the demodulation system can generates an error in these special phase points. In the experiment, special phase point test is implemented to a digital-analog mixed demodulation system by the proposed. The scale factor of the virtual optical-fiber Sagnac interferometer is 49.9°/V. The nonlinear degree of the scale factor is 0.167%, and the asymmetry degree of the scale factor is 0.088062%.

    An optical voltage transducer (OVT) for the electric power system based on modular interference in dual-mode highly elliptical-core polarization maintenance fiber (E-core PMF) is designed, and the temperature and environmental perturbation can be compensated automatically. A quartz crystal cylinder wrapped with highly elliptical-core fiber plays the role of voltage sensor head. The two interference output lobes′ intensity from the E-core PMF is modulated with the converse piezoelectric effect of quartz crystal.

    High-order harmonics and phase-shift miscalibration are the two main systematic error sources that affect the accuracy of interferometry. To deal with these problems simultaneously, a multiple-beam phase shifting algorithm based on least-squares iteration is proposed. The proposed algorithm decomposes multiple-beam fringes into fundamental wave and high-order harmonics by using the Fourier series expansion. Only five frames of multiple-bean interference fringes with random phase shifts are required to accurately determine the phase distribution and phase shifts. Simulations show that the proposed algorithm reaches the error less than 0.005 (peak-valley value, PV) and 0.003 rad (root-mean-square, RMS) with 10 iterations when the reflection coefficient and the RMS of random phase shifts are less than 0.6 and 1 respectively. It also shows that the proposed algorithm exhibits higher precision than the traditional five-bucket algorithm. Experiment demonstrates that the proposed algorithm is valid and superior to two-beam phase shifting algorithm.

    A novel design algorithm for the steady-state coupled power equations describing stimulated Raman scattering in Multi-wavelength cascaded Raman fiber lasers has been proposed. By taking the advantage of genetic algorithm and shooting method, a few elite individuals with the best fitness on each generation are chosen to implement several shootings to accelerate theirs converging. As an example, the output characteristics of an all-fiber three-wavelength (1427 nm, 1455 nm, and 1480 nm) Raman fiber laser with 500 meters P2O5-doped fiber as gain medium and fiber Bragg gratings as resonators has been analyzed with the algorithm. The results show that the total output power linearly depends on the pump power approximately with a slope efficiency of ~51%; the slop efficiency of longer wavelengths is larger than that of the shorter wavelengths due to the longer wavelengths gain additional power at the expense of the power of the shorter wavelengths.

    The durable strain of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is used to improve the sensitivities of FBG temperature sensors at high temperature. When a sensor is manufactured at room temperature, its FBG is given a pre-relaxing length according to the temperature to measure. Once the temperature rises over the given value, its FBG starts to be stretched and to work with high sensitivity. The relationship between the pre-relaxing length and the working temperature is analyzed. In experiments, when the pre-relaxing lengths are 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, the working temperatures is raised by 25 ℃, 50 ℃, 61 ℃, respectively, and the sensitivities are almost the same (675 pm/℃). The experimental results agree well with the theoretical analyses.

    The physical mechanism of the anomalous lateral displacement of the transmitted finite-sized light beam in a thin dielectric slab configuration is investigated from the view point of the interference between multiple light beams, due to the multiple reflections. The physical restriction, which agrees the mathematical condition of stationary phase approach, is advanced. Numerical stimulation shows that the anomalous lateral displacement is produced by the reshaping of the transmitted components undergoing different phase shifts due to the multiple reflections inside the slab. From the view point of a beam as a whole, the lateral displacement can be understood by the fact that the entire transmitted beam is the result of reshaping of the multiply transmitted beams.

    Two kinds of azo compound host-guest adulterant thin films were prepared, then all-optical poling was made and their second-order nonlinear optical characteristics were studied by UV-visual spectra and second-harmonic generation. The experimental results show that the second-order nonlinear optical coefficient d33of 4′-Nitro-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene was determined to be 6.89×10-1 pm/V, and that of 4′-Iodo-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene is 7.77×10-2 pm/V. In addition, the two kinds of thin films show different second-harmonic generation (SHG) dependence on the thickness and relaxation after saturation. In therory, these phenomena could be explained by that the different substituen result in different molecular dipole property and interaction between azo molecule and host materials.

    The ferrofluid film(several micrometers thick), located between two glass plates, was placed vertically in the uniform magnetic field produced by the Helmholtz coil. Measurement of the refractive index of the ferrofluid film under different magnetic field intensities with Michelson interferometer by contrast measuring method, shows that the refractive index changes with the variation of the external magnetic field intensity. This phenomenon is explained by the modification of the size of ferrofluid particles under external magnetic field, which changes the ratio of dimension of the chain of magnetic particles to incident wavelength, thus altering the refractive index of the magnetic fluid. Based on this, the relation between the refractive index and external magnetic field intensity is established, which will provide a new technique for the development of new magneto-optical devices for magnetic field measurement, optical valves and so on.

    Highly ordered porous anodic aluminum oxide (PAA) membranes were prepared by electrochemical method. By alternating current electrodepositing, Cu-Co alloy nanowire arrays were fabricated in the micro column-shaped holes of porous alumina template in a mixed electrolyte of CuSO4 and CoSO4. The morphology and microstructures of PAA and nanowire arrays were characterized by XRD and SEM. The results show that the surface of Cu-Co nanowire arrays is uniform and regular with a preferred crystal face (111) during growing. And the transmission and polarization spectrum indicate that the sample has good transmittance and extinction ratio. Cu-Co alloy can change some characteristics of the simple metal, and for example, CuCo/PAA has better extinction ratio (30 dB) in near infrared waveband than Cu/Al2O3 (17 dB).

    The general method measures hiding power of pigmented material based on varying layer thickness. A new measuring technique was developed by varying the substrate pattern and using the substrate with different gray levels to improve the efficiency and accuracy of the hiding power measurement. Considering the propagation of light after incidence in the layer according to the phenomenological theory, a mathematical model was proposed to simulate the covering ability of the pigment to measure its hiding power based on the systematic analysis of the CIELAB colour differences for the samples before and after painting on the specially designed substrate. The experimental comparison with the existent methods, including Deutsches Institute fur Normung(DIN), American Society for Testing and Materials(ASTM) and spectral evaluation methods, shows that the proposed technique can measure the hiding power accurately and rapidly, with the relative accuracy of 01 %~11 % compared with the referenced results from DIN method. This new method outperforms ASTM and spectral evaluation methods for non-coloured pigment and colourful pigment as well.
