A method on how to decide the resolution of Shack-Hartmann sensor when it is used to measure an unknown incident wavefront is presented. The phase of incident wavefront can be according to Fourier progression, the complex amplitude of incident wavefront can be expanded according to Bessel progression, and then the distribution of intensity of far-field spot can be got through Fourier transform. The results indicate that the phase spectrum of incident wavefront have affiliation with the distribution of intensity of far-field spot. The resolution of Shack-Hartmann sensor can be decided through measuring the distribution of intensity of far-field spot. This method provides the theoretic support on the decision of the number of sub-aperture of Shack-Hartmann sensor. So the problem of the decrease in accuracy of Shack-Hartman sensor because of the lack of sub-apertures can be solved.

    The stochastic parallel gradient descent (SPGD) algorithm can be used to correct phase distortion by optimizing the system performance index directly, so it is a promising control algorithm for adaptive optics (AO) system. In the point-source adaptive optics based on SPGD algorithm, the quadratic sum of intensity, the mean radius and encircled energy are usually used as the system performance index. The relation between the three performance index and the RMS value of aberrant wavefront are analyzed using numerical simulation. Then an adaptive optics experimental system is set up and the static phase-distortion correction experimental is carried out to research three performance index of SPGD algorithm. The experiment results show that the mean radius is the most efficient as the system performance index compared with the other two, which is accordant with the result of numerical simulation previously. The relation between the speed of convergence and control channel number is also researched. The experimental results show that the iteration amount required by convergence of performance index curve is increased remarkably when the control channel number is increased, and it is approximately proportional to square root of control channel number.

    Accurately understanding the effects of phase fluctuation on the laser beam propagation through the atmospheric turbulence, and then making an effective wavefront correction will improve the imaging ability of practical synthetic aperture ladar systems. Based on the phase structure function of laser beam, the structure-function method for generating phase screens is presented, by which the Kolmogorov turbulence of different strength is numerically simulated to investigate its distortion on SAL imaging ability. By combining it with the rank one phase estimation (ROPE) algorithm, improvement of both accuracy and efficiency can be obtained by overcoming the weakness that ROPE is sensitive to initial value. Experiments show that the simulating results by structure function method, will be much closer to the theoretical value than that by spectrum method, and computational complexity will also be reduced from O(N2) to O(N). At the same time, image distortion induced by atmospheric turbulence within a certain intensity range can be restored by the modified ROPE algorithm. Compared with the traditional ROPE, compensation results by the modified method can have a 5 dB signal-to-noise ratio improvement, and computing time can be cut down by 30%.

    The influence of the aspect ratio to the light-scattering properties of small size cylinder ice particles in cirrus cloud is studied by T-matrix method. The light-scattering characteristic quantities such as the phase function, extinction efficiency, asymmetrical parameter and single-scattering albedo are computed.The results are compared with those of the equivalent sphere with the equal surface-area, the equal volume and the equal volume-to-surface-area ratio. It is found that properties with respect to the same volume-to-surface-area ratio are mostly close to the reality. The influence of the aspect ratio on light scattering properties of cylinder particles with different size parameters has similarity and should be considered. In addition, there is a nodical point in the phase functions of cylinder particles with the same surface areas but different aspect ratios.

    Banana-shaped compound 1,3-phenylene bis(4-methoxy-benzylidene amine) was synthesized. After a tiny amount of the synthesized banana-shaped molecules were sandwiched between two pieces of glass substrates, the molecules were able to assemble themselves into organic groove-free gratings when the banana-shaped compound was cooled in air to room temperature from its melt state at about 150 ℃. Polarizing optical microscopic characterization demonstrates that these banana-shaped molecules can assemble themselves into parallel and equidistant stripes between two pieces of glass substrates with a periodic modulation of the refractive index. He-Ne laser diffraction experiment shows that although the gratings are groove-free, the self-organized optical gratings by the banana-shaped molecules exhibit the same diffraction patterns as classically ruled gratings. From the viewpoint of the steric structure of the banana-shaped molecules, the formation mechanism of the self-assembled groove-free gratings was discussed and the diffraction equation was derived for the self-assembled groove-free gratings for the organic groove-free gratings.

Two methods are proposed: inverse operation tracking reconstruction of the object wave field and wavefront reconstruction in image space. Finally,the feasibility of these two methods is proved by digital holography experiments and the calculation of wavefront reconstruction.

    Automatically controlled polarization controllers (PC) are important devices for treating states of polarization (SOP) of the optical signals in fibers, which are the essential integral parts in an automatic compensator for polarization mode dispersion (PMD). Two types of commercial available PCs are taken as examples to show theoretically and experimentally that except for the reset-free problem it is necessary to adjust at least three instead of two waveplates in order to transform any input state into any other state covering the entire Poincaré sphere. Therefore we can achieve complete PMD compensation at least using three degrees of freedom instead of two in each stage PMD compensator.

    According to Fresnel formula and power reflectance, the sensing principle of optical fiber refractive index sensor based on core diameter mismatch is analyzed. The sensor consists of a multimode fiber in which a short section of standard single-mode fiber is inserted. To validate the theoretical result, output light power of the sensor is studied by glycerin aquatic solution experiments with different refractive indexes. The results show that output light power of the sensor strongly depends on the refractive index of the external medium. The sensor exhibits output light power with no change in the refractive index range of 1.300~1.441. Output light power drops linearly in the range of 1.441~1.452, with slope of -155.91. As the refractive index of the external medium is close to that of single-mode fiber cladding, the corresponding output light power is almost zero. The glycerin aquatic solution experimental result agrees with the theoretical result, and the refractive index range of linear light power dropping is 1.442~1.454, with slope of -49.67. The method is simple and low-cost. All signals of the sensing system are transmitted by fiber. It can measure refractive index of toxic and hazardous solutions with high resolution, and is suitable for gas concentrations measurement in flammable and explosive, strong electromagnetic interference environments and other particular conditions.

    A restoration algorithm of local uniform motion blurred image based on Z transform for invariant background motion image detection was proposed. Suppose the foreground and the background is easy to be separated from blurred image. Image foreground was extracted from blurred image based on background subtraction method. Other direction movement of image foreground in the image space was converted into X axis direction movement by rotation matrix. In order to simplify the complex restoration process of local-blurred image, the whole procedure was divided into two steps: 1) image foreground restoration; 2) integration of foreground and background. Restoration and degradation model was established based on Z transform by strict mathematical deduction. Difference equation was changed into algebraic equation to simplify the solving process. Simulation results shown that the proposed method can be restored blurred image of local uniform motion correctly, effectively and rapidly. The algorithm is not sensitive to fuzzy degree; have a certain stability and superiority compared to Wiener filter restoration algorithm.

    Iterative shift-and-add technique(ISA) refers one of the space domain statistical reconstruction methods. The experiments of the space domain statistical reconstruction, of which objective is the multipoint-source objective such as binary star, show that the effect of ISA is better than the speckle masking and also its speed is faster than the speckle masking. ISA cannot be directly used to the high-resolution reconstruction of astronomical and space extended objective such as the sun or satellites so that this article discusses the possibilities of applying ISA to extended objective reconstruction by modification and carries out numerical simulation experiments of high resolution reconstruction of satellites under different photon noises. The simulation experiments show the improved ISA can silence photon noise and for the faint expanding objective reconstruction it has better reconstruction effect than frequency reconstruction method such as speckle masking.

    In order to reduce computational complexity of multiview video coding, a fast macroblock mode selection algorithm is proposed. On the basis of a detailed analysis of the distribution and rate-distortion features of macroblock modes in joint multiview video model (JMVM), conceptions of macroblock mode correlation and mode aggregative degree are put forward. The analysis of the macroblock mode correlation of the test sequence shows that the optimal mode of the current macroblock is the same as that of the most neighboring macroblocks. The precision of the macroblock mode prediction is explored from the angle of the aggregative degree of the neighboring macroblock regions. In the implementation of the fast algorithm, a threshold formed by the average rate distortion cost of the neighboring macroblocks determines the necessity for full searching all macroblock modes. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed fast algorithm promotes the encoding speed by 2.43~4.08 times in comparison with JMVM, while the rate distortion performance nearly remains same.

With the global motion estimation as basis, utilizing the similarity of the background micro blocks, the algorithm can build background micro blocks sets speedily. Adopting the common four-parameter global motion estimation model, the motion parameters are estimated. By computing and filtering the motion vectors residual, the moving object is detected. The algorithm can utilize the motion information contained in the MPEG-4 video coded stream without decoding the coded stream completely, so it can improve the detection efficiency and effect dramatically.Testing results validate its advantages in global motion estimation.

    An fusion algorithm for multi-spectral and high-resolution images based on multi-level threshold segmentation and the nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) is proposed. Multi-level threshold segmentation is done for the multi-spectral image, and notions about ratio of region mean (RRM) are used to divide the multi-spectral image into the areas which need to be spatially enhanced and need to preserve spectral characteristics. Then the NSCT is performed on the high-resolution image and the intensity component of the multi-spectral image at different scales and directions. The low-frequency coefficients are fused with the windows-based fusion rules and operators, and the high-frequency coefficients are fused with the region-based rules according to the RRM. Finally the fused coefficients are reconstructed to obtain the fused intensity component of the multi-spectral image, and the inverse IHS transform is performed to get the fused multi-spectral image. Experimental results show that the algorithm proposed performs significantly better than the IHS transform, the pixel-based à trous wavelet transform and the pixel-based NSCT.

It contains selecting extrema of the pixels and interpolation of them in the course of EMD, in which a variance phenomenon of boundary pixels has been discovered. Delaunay triangulation has been used to partition the selected extrema, then replaces the pixels that not contained in the Delaunay polygon through symmetry principle, which can restrain the variance phenomenon that appeared in the cubic spline interpolation.

The reconstructed image is in good agreement with the original image. It demonstrates that the improved algorithm presented is accurate and feasible. The application of method of EMD is more and more popular in image compression and de-noising, therefore, the improved algorithm will increase the calculation speed of image processing based on EMD.

    In the three-dimensional micro-computerized tomography scanning system, it is impossible to measure the positions of the X-ray focus and imaging plane of the detector by direct means. A simple and feasible method to measure the X-ray focus projection coordinates with high accuracy is proposed. This method is based on the theory that the projection of the sphere object in the cone-beam field is an ellipse. Through acquiring the digital radiography images of the double sphere objects, the image and graphics processing methods and the least square fitting method are used to get the intersection point of the major axis of the two ellipses. The intersection point is also the X-ray focus projection on imaging plane of the detector. The experimental results prove that the accuracy of this method can satisfy the requirements of the practical micro-comptuterized tomography scanning system, and is easy to realize with high anti-noise ability.

    The temperature-field information collected by infrared CCD is usually interfered by various measurement errors, including optical system error, CCD error and infrared radiation interference. Errors induced by optical system and CCD can usually be controlled by image processing techniques. However, these techniques can hardly deal with infrared radiation interferences due to their high randomness. To solve this problem, a series of thermo-couples were preset to monitor temperatures at fixed points, which were used to calibrate the system emissivity. Real-time measurement of temperature field was thus achieved based on the modified system emissivity. The mathematical model and system of calibration are established to prevent the sudden change of temperature with system emissivity. Error and mutation of the on-line temperature field measurement are eliminated. The test results show the feasibility of the calibration system of on-line temperature-field measurement.

    A pre-process, feature extraction and quantitative analysis approach based on principal component analysis (PCA) is proposed to analyze the complicated nonlinear fluorescent spectra, emitted by the interaction between femto-second(fs) laser and the impurities in air. The spectral data is denoised and compressed from 3979 to 664 points using wavelet transform (WT). By fitting the feature peaks of the compressed spectra with different concentration impurities using PCA, the monotone relation between intensity and concentration is identified and it can be used to perform quantitative analysis. Simulation results on three kinds of impurities with low concentration show that the first two principal components can cover 98% information, and the quantitative analysis method based on the first principal component can effectively reduce the error from 0.2694 to 0.02 compared with previous method.

    In order to analyze the interaction of laser and spherical particles in coaxial laser cladding, the physical model of laser scattering by spherical particles is established by using Mie scattering theory in certain assumptions, which will help select the laser and the spherical powder.The distributions of laser intensity with radius of particles and wavelength of laser were drawn by Mathematica software. The simulated results were analyzed. The results show the particles radius and laser wavelength are important parameters affecting the distribution of scattering intensity. There is a secondary maximum with direction deviation beyond 20° as the optical factor is less than 30. It accounts for a higher proportion of scattered light intensity, and it is adverse to the formation of molten pool. The scattering intensity is concentrated in the range from 5° to 6° as the optical factor is more than 30, and the scattering intensity is very strong in this range, which will promote laser cladding.

    The broadband nanosecond shaped laser pulse obtained by chirped pulse stacking(CPS) method can make the output stacking pulse meet the requirement of the inertial confinement fusion (ICF), and CPS is the main technique way adopted in front end systems in some laser facilities. However, temporal pulse shape modulation will exist due to the pulse coherence for chirped stacking pulse, and spectrum modulation will exist too. Moreover, the peak intensity of this stacked chirped pulses will change rapidly under different influence conditions. The evolutionary rules of the temporal pulse shape modulation, spectrum modulation and the intensity factor are reported. The results show the temporal pulse shape modulation is affected by the broadening factor and the delay time, as spectrum modulation is only affected by the delay time, and the intensity factor changes similarly with the cosine function of the phase factor.

    To reduce the calibration uncertainty of spectral radiance responsivity, a new tunable laser-based integrating sphere source was developed. In this facility, high-power, tunable laser outputs were introduced into an integrating shpere, producing uniform, quasi-Lambertian, high radiant flux planar source. Ti:sapphire laser 710 nm output light was used to study the radiometric characteristics of the source. While two-beam paths were introduced into the sphere and laser speckle was eliminated, the radiance instability was 0.06% in 30 min; the radiance was spatially uniform within 0.16% over the most central region 60 of the sphere exit port; the angular nonuniformities in horizontal and vertical plane within the range of ±22° were 1.3% and 0.7% respectively. This source have the advantages of high stability, high spectral radiant flux, narrow bandpass, large area, tunable wavelength in broad spectral range, etc. The radiometric properties of the source couple with state-of-the-art standard detector whose responsiveness are directly traceable to primary radiometric scales can reduce the calibration uncertainty effectively.

The result showed that the diameter of mesoporous molecular sieve was 1.7 \mm. The spectroscopic characterization of the ZnO/MCM-41 synthesised at different temperatures was studied. It was shown that the size of MCM-41 was limited and the size of ZnO was smaller than 2 nm. Owing to the quantum-size effect, the UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence of the nano-ZnO particles were blue-shifted distinctly. By the infrared spectroscopy, the skeleton of mesoporous molecular sieve was not changed after loading ZnO on MCM-41.

    The exciton energy levels and wave functions of (nc-Si/SiO2)/SiO2 multi-layer structure are analyzed, by using the spherical quantum dots model and effective mass approximation theory. The model of finitely deep potential well makes the resuct more accurate and near to reality. The conclusion shows that the ground. State energy of mass center′s motional part increases rapidly as the radius of quantum dot decreases, no matter in infinitely deep potential well or finitely deep potential well. The mass center energy in infinitely deep potential well is always higher than the finitely deep potential wells with same radius of quantum dot, and their differences increase as the radius of quantum dot decreases.

    Raman spectrum is performed to study the phonon modes of Ni-doped ZnO powders. The phonon mode of undoped ZnO and two additional modes (AMs) have been observed in the Raman spectra of doped swatch. The observation of E2(h) phonon mode in the samples indicates that the doped ZnO powders still keep the hexagonal structure. The AM at 652 cm-1 is ascribed as local vibrational mode due to the host defects. In order to identify the origin of the AM at 544 cm-1, Raman spectrums of the Ni-, Co-, and Mn-doped ZnO powders have been carried out respectively. The results show that the AM at 544 cm-1 is related to Ni impurity. Origins of other phonon modes in the spectra are discussed as well. The multi-LO phonons scattering observed by an exciting source of 325 nm on Ni-doped ZnO powders is reported.

    All-optical buffers have been considered as essential components for all-optical communications. Considering the requirements of controllable optical delay lines and optical buffers, the external dynamic tuning of slow light in photonic crystal waveguides has been studied. A novel photonic crystal waveguide on polymer substrate is proposed. Numerical study using plane, wave expansion method shows that this structure supports a single guided mode transmission,which allows a low group velocity of 10-2c in the vicinity of band edge. Since the substrate material possesses a high electro-optic coefficient and a subpicosecond nonlinear response time, and local field effect induced the by slow light transmission can enhance electro-optic effect greatly, these properties offer the opporunity to tune the slow light mode in wide frequency range with low power. Numerical analysis shows that by applying an external voltage of 80 V, the guided mode will shift 80.8 nm, and moreover the wavelength shift is nearly linearly increased with the increas of applied modulated voltage. Modulation sensitivity is about 1 nm/V. The flexible dynamical tuning of slow light mode can meet the requirements for the use of optical buffer in all-optical network in principle.

    In order to study the autofluorescence spectral changes during cancer cell cycle, the autofluorescence spectrum of synchronically cultured HeLa cell in the G1, S, G2 and M portions of the cell cycle is measured. The results show that there is autofluorescence phenomenon during the cell cycle and the fluorescence intensity in each stage is different. The fluorescence sptectrum exhibits the characteristic peaks at 360 nm and 680 nm. The changes of fluorescent molecules (such as aromatic amino acid and porphyrin) in HeLa cells during the cell cycle result in these differences. The fluorescence spectra of different stages reflect the changes of aromatic amino acid and porphyrin in cell during the cell cycle and can be utilized to study the state of the cancer cell cycle.

    The optical nonlinear properties of CdSeS quantum dots (QDs) are investigated by Z-scan technique using the model locked Nd∶YAG laser second harmonic radiation (λ wavelength of 532 nm, pulse width of 35 ps). The experimental results show that the quantum dots have large two-photon absorption (TPA) which originates from the third order optical nonlinearity effect. According to the absorption and fluorescence spectra, it is found that this nonlinear absorption originates from the TPA of CdSeS quantum dots. Z-scan curve of CdSeS quantum dots is measured under different incident intensities, and the experimental results show that the quantum dots have nonlinear refractive index of 1.9×10-8 esu and average TPA cross section of 25283 GM, which are two orders higher than values of commonly used ZnS QDs.

    Based on classical polarization theory, the change of refractive index of silicon is analyzed when direct-current (dc) electric field, alternating-current (AC) modulation electric field, and optical field exist simultaneously, and the physical nature of the electric-field-induced linear electro-optic effect is theoretically indicated. Near-intrinsic silicon is constructed into a metal-insulator-semiconductor sample, and a transverse electro-optic modulation system composed of the modified Senarmont compensator is applied. The obvious linear electro-optic modulation signal is observed in the space charge region of silicon, and the half-wave voltage of the modulation system less than 170 V is estimated. The electric-field-induced linear electro-optic effect caused by the built-in electric field in silicon is experimentally demonstrated. In addition, the secondary electro-optic modulation signal generated by Kerr effect, and electric signal which changes with the cosine function of double azimuth of the linear polarizaed light and is induced by electric-field-induced optical rectification, are measured. These results are in good accordance with the classical polarization theory, and demonstrate the electric-field-induced linear electro-optic effect indirectly.

    The design and establishment of focus servo module in the hybrid magneto-optical recording system are presented. The servo module, which acquires focus error signal through astigmatism method and utilizes the double-laser method integrated with red-laser servo and blue-laser assisted recording, serves as an independent dynamic focus servo unit. Thus, with the feature of modularization and palatability, the servo module can be used in both stable and dynamic laser recording system, in both horizontal type and vertical type optical system. For control algorithm design, the amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency characteristics and the nonlinear hysteresis of PZT are studied in detail. High accuracy dynamic focus servo is realized through PI closed-loop control with the inverse system and inverse hysteresis model calibration. Focus error is within ±130 nm under the rotate speed 8 r/s, and the diameter and depth of recording spots are almost uniform.

    Intensity of laser focus was simulated in the condition of refractive index mismatch (n=1.48, NA=0.65) at different recording depth with two-photon writing based on Torok’s theory,in order to increase the readout signal intensity of deep layer bits and the memory capacity of two-photon 3D optical data storage. The relationship between the square of the maximum intensity at laser focus and the recording depth was acquired. Based on atomic absorption theory, the relationship between the exposure time and the recording depth in the condition of equal exposure energy without recording power changed was acquired. According to the results and using home-made two-photon 3D optical data memory system, the contrast experiment of recorded bits in eight consecutive layers with equal exposure energy and excitation time increasing was done in a photochromic storage medium. The experimental result indicates that the memory capacity is increased and the readout signal intensity in deep layer is enhanced effectively.

    In order to compensate the gain-narrowing and gain-saturation effects and improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the output high-power laser pulse, attentions have been paid to the spatial distribution, the temporal profile, and the spectral reshaping in the design of kilo-joule peta-watt chirped pulse amplification (CPA) systems. The multilayer dielectric thin film reflector fabricated by top-down nano-fabrication processes can be used to realize spectral reshaping of high-power chirped pulse. In the design and fabrication of the multilayer dielectric thin film reflector, it is necessary to determine the fabrication control functions appropriately. The control construction function of digital-control fabrication and the etching depth construction functions of the multilayer dielectric thin film reflector for spectral reshaping of chirped pulse laser in Shengguang-Ⅱ system are investigated. The spectral modulation properties of the multilayer dielectric thin film reflector have been analyzed, and the effect of the reflectivity distribution of the multilayer dielectric film reflector approaching to the object function has also been observed.

    The combinatorial etching technique based on photolithography has been used to fabricate step filters in this paper, in order to eliminate the size limit and shadow effect of mechanical masks. A step filter with 16\X1 channels for miniature wavelength-division device has been fabricated successfully. The width of a filter element is only 90 μm and the total size of the wavelength-division device is less than 2 mm. The filter channels distribute from 632.4 nm to 739.6 nm with bandwidth narrower than 2.9 nm and transmittance higher than 70%. The filter element size of the step filter can be as small as in micro scale and the shadow effect of mechanical masks can be decreased to micro or sub-micro scale. Such step filters match with CCD completely and can be used as miniature wavelength-division device to compose a miniature spectral system for space applications etc.

    The life of many white lamp-LEDs manufactured inland is normally short. This is very different from power white LEDs. The white lamp-LEDs for different aging period have been anatomized. The variety of structure materials in package has been discussed, in order to find the real reason for leading to fast lumen attenuation of the white LED, based on the past research work. By experiments, two phenomena have been found. the first is die attaching resin has been yellowed in some LEDs, the second is that there is a thin layer of deep yellow film on the top of blue dies. Then the blue dies after wiping off the die attaching resin or the thin yellow film have been packaged again, and luminous flux show a dramatic enhancement. Blue dies touch resin mixing phosphor and die attaching resin directly, and is surrounded by them. So the performance variation of two kind of resin has important and direct effect on luminous attenuation of white lamp-LEDs.

    Based on effective permittivity theory of heterogeneous material, the effective complex permittivity of two-dimensional subwavelength Ag particle/hole has been simulated. The optical resonance properties of Ag particle/hole are verified. For the Ag particle-dielectric composite structure, the effective permittivity has a negative real part when the optical frequency is larger than the plasmon frequency of Ag. The imaginary part of the effective permittivity shows a resonance near the plasmon frequency of Ag, and the resonance peak displays a red shift with the increase of radius of Ag particle. By calculating the electric field distribution, it is found that optical resonance results in very strong local field enhancements around the Ag particle at the resonant frequency. Similar phenomena are observed for the structure of Ag block with a single hole filled with different materials, and resonant peak shows red shift with the increase of permittivity in the hole, while the resonant peak is blue-shifted with the increase of radius of the hole filled with the same material. In addition, the optical resonance can be controlled by adjusting the size and geometry of the particle/hole. Therefore, the mechanisms for the interaction of light with particle/hole are surface plasmon mode and resonant mode, and the effective-medium theory is a powerful tool for exploring the intriguing enhanced optical transmission phenomena.

    When high-power laser is focused in water through an optical focusing lens system, the water is broken down and high-power acoustic wave is emitted. The different optical focusing lens system relates to different acoustic waveform characteristic, such as the sound pressure intensity, frequency. In order to analyze the relation between the pressure signal and optical focusing characteristic, we simulate the dynamic process of the laser-induced cavitation bubble model and the laser-induced acoustic signal model. The experimental investigation is done. The laser-induced pressure acoustic signal is detected with the high-frequency transducer. The laser-induced cavitation bubble expansion and collapse is recorded with high-speed video. The shock wave and cavitation bubble begin after optical breakdown in water. The laser-induced bubble radius and power acoustic density make a linear relation with the laser energy directly. For high-power laser, compared with the unexpanded beam, the bumble radius is larger and the acoustic signal is more intense for the expanded beam. To increase the opto-acoustic efficiency, the laser beam should be expanded and focused.

    It is an effective way combining optical interference technology with astronomical telescope technology to raise the astronomical observation resolution. We use a telescope array to replace the large-diameter telescope for light-gathering observation. The maximum baseline is equivalent to the largest diameter of traditional optical telescope. To a great extent, it solves the problem of single telescope, whose light-gathering ability is not sufficient and angular resolution is not so high. In practice, only if the requirements below are fulfilled can the two beams be partly coherent: the phase difference must be relatively stabilized; it exists the component of mutual parallel oscillation; it has the same frequency; the oscillation amplitude difference of the two beams which vibrate at the meeting point is not so large and the optical path difference (OPD) of the two beams at the meeting point is less than the coherent length and so on. The sub-telescope should be mutual interference. Two parallel beams interference and OPD requirement formula are deduced. We get the requirement of the two parallel beams and the OPD based on the research on the two-beam parallel requirement and the OPD. Two indexes for the OAS telescope sub-telescope beam parallel and OPD are got combined with the OAS telescope character. The method of two beams interference parallel and OPD adjustment is introduced. The adjustment method for parallel and OPD optical system is researched which fits with the OAS telescope. The improvement for the system is discussed in the end.

    Some bands or band combination are used as the spectral indices of fuel moisture content based on analyzing the spectral characteristic and relation of spectrum and fuel moisture content. The optimal function models are respectively established between the fuel moisture content and spectral indices. By analyzing the spectral index and its relative error, it confirms the spectral index SR=R1600/R820 as the characteristic parameters of the model, where R1600 and R820 are the reflectivities at 1600 nm and 820 nm. Utilizing the measured vegetation spectral reflectance and fuel moisture content, the model relation between fuel moisture content and SR spectral index is established. According to the model of fuel moisture content, ETM and ASTER remote sensing data, the quantitative inversion are achieved by the programme based on IDL7.0 platform.

    The azimuth imaging resolution of synthetic aperture imaging ladar (SAIL) using the telescopes with circular and rectangular apertures is investigated based on the point target SAIL data collection equation, and the analytic expressions of point spread function for imaging are correspondingly achieved. The ideal resolution spot and its degradation due to the target deviation vertically from the footprint center, the mismatch of matched filtering from the quadratic phase history, and the limited width and period for sampling are discussed. And the deficient compensation of phase errors of nonlinear chirping and the others related to range resolution are also detailed. Mathematical criteria are derived for all of these factors. Moreover, an explanation to the resulted azimuth resolution from the earlier experiment in our laboratory-scaled SAIL is given to verify the developed theory. As a conclusion, it is found that the antenna of rectangular aperture telescope can provide a rectangular footprint more suitable for the SAIL scanning format, and this leads not only to an elimination of resolution degradation but also to an optimal design of aperture to give both a fine resolution and a wide scan strip. And it is also found that the delay between the target and the local oscillator must be small enough to eliminate the phase errors from nonlinear chirping and optical frequency instability.

    Directly recovering the spectral information of surface colors using digital camera signals is important for color reproduction under various illuminating conditions. The RGB signals for color samples were obtained by a commercial digital camera under two different CIE illuminants, D65 and A, to reconstruct their corresponding spectral reflectance based on the algorithm combining principal component analysis(PCA) and polynomial model. The experimental results indicate that the spectral reconstruction accuracy could be improved by simultaneously utilizing the RGB signals under the two illuminants, in which case the metameric characteristics of color pairs could also be well reproduced.

    A new phosphorescent (pq)2Ir(N-phenyl-isobutyramide) complex is synthesized and its spectral characteristics are investigated. The ligands of this complex are phenyl-quinoline and N-phenyl-isobutyramide. The complex is characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectrometry and luminescence spectrometry, and the results show that strong absorption appeared at about 225 nm, 267 nm, 339 nm and 460 nm, respectively. Especially the complex shows single and triplet metal-to-ligand charge transfer from 320 nm to 580 nm. The luminescence spectra indicate that the increase in concentration of the iridium (Ⅲ) organic complex in the solution with the solvent of CH2Cl2 leads to red shift of luminescence spectra. At the excitation wavelength of 460 nm, the luminescence interference of dichloromethane is absent, so the strong metal triplet phosphorescence at around 606 nm of the Ir(Ⅲ) organic complex was generated by itself. Therefore, we conclude that the Ir(Ⅲ) organic complex can be used as a new phosphorescent material for the application in organic electroluminescence area.

    In order to study the human color vision characteristics, the just-noticeable color difference discrimination threshold experiment at the 17 basic CIE color centers with about 1000 pairs of samples was carried out by 16 observers with normal color vision on the CIE1976 a*-b* plane, by using reflective samples color stimuli based on the psychophysical method of constant stimuli. And the color discrimination thresholds were represented via chromaticity ellipses. The detailed processing and analysis of the experimental results indicate that the color discrimination characteristics of human eyes are different for individual color regions and directions in the a*-b* plane,and namely the CIE1976 a*-b* plane is visually non-uniform. The visual color tolerance in the third and fourth quadrants is smaller than the first and second quadrants, the biggest tolerance is in the region of high chroma orange, and the smallest is in blue.The visual color difference scale in the red-green direction is generally smaller than that in the yellow-blue one for the 17 CIE color centers. The experimental data provides references for the improvement of uniform color space and color-difference formula.
