The principle for measuring the integral radiance in wave range from visible to near-infrared (400~1000 nm) is analyzed. Furthermore, the response coefficient and luminous efficiency are calculated, and an error analysis for the measurement results is made. The linearity checking of the DTL-1 and the data are carried out using spectrometer. The relative error is below 10%, which indicates the credibility of the instrument.

    A measurement method of atmospheric water vapor column density by passive differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) technology is developed. The solar spectrum at the top of atmosphere can be considered as the reference spectrum and the total slant column densities of water vapor and O4 can be retrieved simultaneously from the measurement spectrum by DOAS algorithm. To convert the slant column density to the vertical column density, the relationship of air mass factors (AMFs) of water vapor and O4 is analyzed. The vertical column density of water vapor is resolved with the AMF of O4. The saturated absorption problem of water vapor affects the retrieval precision of DOAS, so a numerical simulation method is developed to revise the water vapor density. The water vapor measurement result of DOAS is compared with those obtained with sun photometer and GOME-2 satellite. Good correlation is shown, and thus the feasibility of the method is verified.

    A method for the retrieval of the aerosol scattering coefficient profiles in boundary layer is presented. A bistatic lidar system (CCD Lidar) with charge coupled device (CCD) as the detector and laser as transmitter is constructed. Aerosol scattering images of a horizontal laser beam and a vertical laser beam from ground to 1.2 km are imaged based on the CCD lidar system. The relative atmospheric scattering phase function (SPF) can be obtained by the aerosol scattering image of the horizontal laser beam, and the aerosol extinction coefficient (AEC) profile is inverted using the relative SPF. The AEC measured by CCD lidar has shown good agreement with that measured by double wavelength polarization lidar (DWPL) in 400 m and 600 m. Four nighttime AEC profile contours observed in Hefei are given. CCD lidar needs no overlap correction, it has a high spatial resolution of 0.032 m/pixel, and is expected as a potential technique of aerosol detection in boundary layer.

    A beams-mass structure, which is sensitive to the acceleration, is designed based on the SU-8 photoresist′s high aspect ratio imaging feature. Theoretical expressions are deduced for analyzing the relationships between acceleration and the deflection of the beams-mass structure, acceleration and the light intensity of Fabry-Pérot interference. Simplified calculation formulas are obtained and major influences such as the sensitivity and the natural frequency are discussed. The new beams-mass structure with the “卍” form is presented, and its parameters are analyzed and determined. The results show that the new SU-8 photoresist Fabry-Pérot acceleration sensor with “卍” structure improves the sensitivity vastly and has a good detection mode. The simulation results match to the theoretical analysis, which confirms that the designed structure can be applied in acceleration monitoring based on Fabry-Pérot interference theory.

    Optical switching architecture based on fast tunable laser and arrayed waveguide grating is an ideal choice to realize optical switches with large capacity. However, the fast tuning requirement of the fast tunable laser makes it necessary for the fast tunable laser to keep seeding light even under idle state without data, and the optical light from the idle fast tunable laser may introduce significant interference to a valid optical signal if they are routed to the same receiver. In order to solve the influence of the fast tunable laser constraint, a method is proposed to use the invalid demands to fill idle time slots so that the valid demands and invalid demands have different output ports and no longer interfere with each other. Two different methods to generate the invalid demands are proposed, namely the random strategy and the sequential strategy, and the performances of the two strategies with different traffic loads are studied and compared through simulations. Meanwhile, in order to reduce the number of rearrangement in the scheduling algorithm, a threshold-based strategy to find the path for an invalid demand is proposed. The simulation results show that this threshold-based method can greatly reduce the number of rearrangement, and improve the computation efficiency of the scheduling algorithm.

    Aiming at theoretical analysis of single mode-multimode-single mode(SMS) fiber under unweak-guidance condition, a simple and accuracy simulation method is studied. Propagation characteristics and transmission efficiency of all the modes of mutimode fiber segment in SMS fiber under unweak-guidance condition are analyzed using Taylor′s series expansion of input light field and vector mode expansion of electromagnetic field in multimode fiber. Based on analysis of mode characteristic equations, the smallest mode numbers contributing to multimode interference in the single mode-mutimode-single mode fiber are reasonably selected and transmission efficiency of every mode is calculated and compared with experimental results. It is proved that the light field in the multimode fiber can be expanded only by the linearly polarized radial function, zero-order Bessel function(scalar model) to obtain the good simulation results under condition that the single mode fiber and multimode fiber are well concentric. This work can simplity complexity of theoretical research in this field effectively.

    Using the finite element method, the dispersion property, mode area and nonlinear coefficient are numerically simulated by artificially choosing the parameters of the proposed novel holey fiber. The results show that the novel fiber not only has a relatively simple structure, but also has better dispersion property. By optimizing the structure parameters, a flattened dispersion holey fiber with three zero-dispersion wavelengths (λ=1.0 μm, λ=1.53 μm, λ=1.81 μm) in the 900 nm wavelength range has been designed. These results can be used to guide the design of novel holey fiber.

    The holographic camera system for research and analysis on marine microorganisms and particles has a wide application prospect. Because of the special imaging technique (the holographic imaging technology) and the special imaging environment (seabed), there are a variety of different oblique stripe noises in the holograms. The existence of oblique stripe noises seriously affect quality of reconstructed image of the marine biological hologram and further processing, and the present methods for common stripe noise are no longer suitable. An effective method is proposed to deal with the oblique stripe noises. For the periodic oblique stripe noise, the local threshold method is adopted to find out the frequency center of the noise, and the Gaussian notch filter is utilized to eliminate the noise. For the aperiodic oblique stripe noise, the linear equation is used to simulate the bright line of the noise in the frequency domain, and the partial notch filter is exploited to depress the noise. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed method can filter out the periodic oblique stripe noise completely as well as the aperiodic oblique stripe noise mostly, and the useful information of the holograms can be kept.

    In order to apply Fourier telescopy (FT) to the detection of synchronous geostationary orbit and low-earth orbit motion satellite and fulfill high-resolution imaging, a new method is proposed based on non-uniform sampling technology to achieve low sampling frequency for the high frequency information processing. Non-uniform sampling is made for the time domain returned signal into digital signal and the non-uniform discrete Fourier transform (NUDFT) is used. Amplitude damping is done to all the signals except the low-frequency signal and then the low frequency component information can be accurately extracted by the use of NUDFT. Amplitude damping and NUDFT are repeated until all the frequency information is extracted. The target can be constructed with phase closure techniques and traditional reconstruction method. This method reduces the sampling frequency, overcomes the spectral noise of the NUDFT method and avoids the influence of high-frequency noise on the imaging quality. It has bright application prospect, especially in low orbit multi-beam Fourier telescope imaging area. The feasibility of the method is verified by numerical simulation. Comparative researches are done for reconstruction image with the traditional uniform sampling result under different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). The method is consistent on the noise sensitivity with traditional methods.

    Segmentation of near-infrared (NIR) microscopic image by feature extraction and clustering analysis methods can be used for efficient extraction of chemical information. Due to the high computational complexity of principal component analysis (PCA) in extracting features, we propose a weighted two-dimensional PCA (W2DPCA) spectral feature extraction scheme in this paper, which is combined with fuzzy C-mean (FCM) algorithm to extract the chemical information of NIR microscopic image. The feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are verified by simulation experiments performed on NIR microscopic image of tablets. Experimental results show that W2DPCA-FCM is an effective infrared microscopy image analysis method since it can reduce the computation time and improve the clustering accuracy.

    In order to realize dynamic imaging detection and target recognition for cat-eye effect echo in complex background,the imaging detection system is constructed and the detection methods are discussed according to the imaging characteristics of the cat-eye effect echo, background and noises. The detection mode is proposed that the timing is modulated synchronously and the field of view is controlled synchronously for the laser irradiation and imaging detection. Based on it, the target recognition algorithm is researched. The background interference can be removed by the method of frame difference. The method of regional grayscale average is put forward to suppress noises. The target can be recognized through adaptive thresholds of target discrimination and recognition. The detection experiments for 500 m and 2500 m targets are carried out with built imaging detection system. The results show that, utilizing imaging detection method and target recognition algorithm, the false alarm probability is 0.3×10-12 and the detection probability is one in the detection distance of 2500 m, which eliminates the effect of background and noise in target recognition process.

    An efficient synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image segmentation approach using a Markov random field (MRF) model with edge penalties and an adaptive weighting parameter is proposed. The edge penalty and the adaptive weighting parameter are introduced into the energy function of MRF segmentation model. As a result, the edge fuzzy is reduced with the introduction of edge penalty. The adaptive weighting parameter can adjust adaptively the weights of the data modeling factor in the energy function according to the stages of iteration and the heterogeneity of local scenes, which is in favor to get smoother results for homogeneous regions and preserve edges and important image details for heterogeneous regions. An efficient optimization algorithm called heterogeneous point tracking algorithm is presented in terms of the characteristics of the energy function. Experiments with simulated data and real SAR images show that the proposed algorithm improves the segmentation accuracy and reduces the running time.

    Combined with the characteristics of catadioptric omnidirectional imaging, the method of image restoration for catadioptric defocus blur based on omni-total variation minimization is proposed. The problem of catadioptric omnidirectional imaging defocus blur, which is caused by lens aperture and mirror curvature, becomes more severe when high resolution sensors and large apertures are applied. In the catadioptric omnidirectional image, the two points near each other do not have the relation in true scene. So the traditional gradient computation cannot fit catadioptric omnidirectional image processing. The omni-gradient computing method combined with the characteristics of omnidirectional imaging is proposed. Then, the omni-total variation minimization is used as the condition of deconvolution regularization, which is used for the defocus blur omnidirectional image restoration to obtain all sharp omnidirectional images.

    To improve the precision of small photoelectric encoders, a lot of research is conducted on the interpolation error correction method of moiré fringe photoelectric signals. A parameter equation of single channel signal waveform is built firstly, and then Fourier transform is performed on sampled signals to get the waveform parameters. The high spatial harmonics in the signal waveform are transformed into higher order components using the multiple angle formula, and photoelectric signals are corrected to standard sine and cosine ones using the Newton iteration method. After that, a phase error correction model of the sine and cosine signals is built, phase error correction parameters are then solved using the least squares fitting method, and finally the phase error correction of the photoelectric signals are realized. The interpolation error correction of a 16-bit small photoelectrical encoder is carried out. The result demonstrates that, it can effectively reduce interpolation error and improve the precision, which is important in the development of small and high-precision photoelectrical encoders.

    The traditional cavity monitoring measures have many shortcomings, including of obtaining little of data, being difficult to monitor the unmanned cavity, and not calculating the volume of the cavity accurately. The three-dimensional (3D) laser scanner for cavity can scan the cavity to obtain the 3D point cloud data effectively and roundly, but it is trouble to use these point clouds which will exist a lot of noise that is formed by the dusty, moisture and the 3D laser scanner, and the first point cloud and the second point cloud will be misaligned because the ground may have the emergence of deformation. To solve these problems, this paper puts forward the point cloud denoising algorithm based on KD Tree and registration algorithm based on characteristics of point cloud. The experiments show that these algorithms are effective to remove the noise in the point cloud and realize the registration of point cloud, the point cloud will provide the data basic for mine to use in the future.

    In order to improve precision of multioscillator ring laser gyroscope (MRLG), the separation left-handed circular polarization (LCP) from right-handed circular polarization (RCP) based on MRLG with optical signal processing is studied both theoretically and experimentally. Considering that the polarizations of optical modes which are exported from MRLG influence the separation LCP from RCP, mechanism of influence is analyzed. After the separation, defining the signal-to-noise ratio(SNR) of the LCP or RCP, the value of the influence is derived. The higher of SNR, the smaller of the influence. Based on the study of theory and experimentation, the relationship between SNR and angle of sheet polarizer which is installed in the system of optical signle processing is presented. It is found that the SNR can be enhanced by adjusting the angle of sheet polarizer efficiently. A new method of separation LCP from RCP named “eliminating” is advanced by optimization installation of sheet polarizer. Compared with the earlier method named “extracting”, the new method is better than the earlier one. The result is proved both by theory and experiment.

    A novel algorithm based on fuzzy entropy iteration is proposed to simplify point cloud data. Better detail features of the streamlined point cloud model are retained while the algorithm′s operating efficiency is improved. To retain the boundary characteristics, X-Y boundary of all point cloud data is extracted quickly. Curvature of each data point is calculated. Data points except boundary points are grouped according to the curvatures. Then the number of data points and the average of the curvatures in each group are computed. Fuzzy sets of point cloud model are constructed according to the curvatures. Then the minimum fuzzy entropy is calculated to obtain the curvature threshold, so that the data points can be divided best. The data points are diluted when their curvatures are less than the threshold. The dilution ratio depends on the iteration number. When satisfying the requirements of number, the data points are processed when their curvatures are bigger than the threshold. In this iteration process, new minimum fuzzy entropy and new curvature threshold are obtained. If not satisfying the requirements of number, the data points whose curvatures are bigger than the threshold are retained. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm approximates the point cloud model and has a satisfactory computing efficiency.

    Er3+-doped 53ZrF4-20BaF2-4LaF3-3AlF3-20NaF-2.4PbF2 (ZBLAN) fluoride transparent glasses are prepared by the melt quenching method. The fluorescence spectra are measured for the transition of Er3+ Stark sublevels 4S3/2(1)→4I15/2 and 4S3/2(2)→4I15/2 (λ1=542 nm, λ2=548 nm) with in the temperature range of 10 K~540 K. The results show a rapid decrease in emission intensity and an obvious difference in decay rate with the temperature increase. According to the configurational coordinate, the mechanism is proposed to involve the difference of thermal quenching rate from the fitted activation energy (ΔE) of 0.078 eV and 0.049 eV for two sublevels of 4S3/2(1) and 4S3/2(2), respectively. The calculated fluorescence intensity ratio (FIR), which is corresponding to the transition of Er3+ stark sublevels 4S3/2(1)→4I15/2 and 4S3/2(2)→4I15/2, shows a linearly increase with temperature rise and then tends to flatten at high temperature region. The temperature sensitivity of sample is obtained for the maximum value of 0.0011 K-1 at the temperature of 90 K. The features in temperature sensitivity would be an application of optical temperature sensor.

The photoluminescence (PL) spectra, ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra and excited spectra of PFC12Th-DCN thin films are investigated in detail. The experimental results show that the conductive polymer has strong absorption from 300 nm to 450 nm and an absorption peak at 375 nm. Excited by 375 nm light, the PL spectrum of PFC12Th-DCN has a peak emission at about 625 nm, showing that it is an orange-yellow luminescent material. The electroluminescence (EL) device: ITO/PEDOTPSS/PFC12Th-DCN/Al is prepared. The turn-on voltage of the device is 5 V. The peak emission wavelength is about 649 nm and the chromaticity coordinate locates at (0.62, 0.36). Compared with its PL spectrum, the EL spectrum shows a red shift of about 25 nm. Based on the experimental results, the emission red shift is attributed to the PFC12Th-DCN molecules aggregation induced emission.

The nanorods are pure wolframite and Eu3+ ions completely enter into the lattice. The diameters of ZnWO4:Eu3+ nanorods are about 20~40 nm and the lengths are about 50~70 nm. The excited and photoluminescence spectra of ZnWO4 and Eu3+-doped ZnWO4 nanorods indicate an energy transfer from WO2-4 groups to Eu3+ ions. Electric dipole transition 5D0-7F0 of Eu3+ ion is weak, while electric dipole transition 5D0-7F2 is very strong, which indicates that Eu3+ ions are in C2 symmetry points of the lattice.

    Recently, through nonmetallic impurity doping rutile TiO2 to change its optical properties and expand the application in the fields of photocatalysis and photoelectric conversion is a hot research topic. The electronic properties and optical properties of rutile TiO2 super cell with nonmetallic impurity doped (including C,N,S,C-N,C-S,N-S) are calculated by plane wave pseudopotential method based on the density functional theory, such as the band structure, density of states, dielectric constant, absorption spectroscopy and reflection spectroscopy, etc. Nonmetallic elements doping makes TiO2 band gap decrease, and the absorption spectrum and reflection spectra exhibit red shift. To a certain extent, nonmetallic impurity doping improves the TiO2 utilization of visible light, but visible light utilization rate of co-doped TiO2 is higher than that of single-doped TiO2. The research results show that in the visible light high energy area from 400 nm to 575 nm, C-doped rutile TiO2 performs much better than others in absorptivity and reflectivity. In the visible light low energy area from 575 nm to 760 nm, absorptivity and reflectivity of N-doped rutile TiO2 are much better than others. Therefore, the visible light utilization in C-N co-doped TiO2 is better than those of other nonmetallic doped systems.

Synthetic calcium hydroxyapatite discs (the key component of enamel) with different densities ranging from 1.28 g/cm3 to 1.9 g/cm3 are scanned with OCT, OACs are fitted from OCT images, and MD versus OAC curve as a calibration curve is developed; then the OACs within OCT images of human teeth are obtained; the MD is determined according to the calibration curve of OAC and MD. The MD of sound enamel is found to be 2.5~3.1 g/cm3, which is in agreement with literature values; while the MD of white spot lesions is around 2.0 g/cm3. This non-destructive method has the potential to be used in quantitative determination of demineralization and remineralization of enamel and clinic.

    The star sensor is composed of an optical system and a photoelectric sensor, and the former is the most important part. The star sensor optical system requires high imaging quality and good technical indexes, and its volume and weight are strictly limited, so that the corresponding optical design is difficult. In the premise of meeting volume requirements, the best system structure is selected, and the focal power is reasonably distributed to reduce distortion and high order aberration. At the same time, the system is made as a telecentric light path. Special dispersion glass is adopted to correct chromatic aberration of wide band range, and the asphere is adopted to improve imaging quality. The results show that the measured modulation transfer function (MTF) of each field is more than 0.344 (at Nquist frequency), the laboratory static MTF is more than 0.2 (at Nquist frequency), 80% of the imaging dispersion spot energy is focused inside 23 μm, and the relative distortion is less than 0.1%. The technical indexes and the imaging quality requirements are satisfied.

    A method is proposed to restrain mid-spatial-frequency errors (MSFE) by iterative small tool polishing, which is based on the research of restraint methods of MSFE, as well as the characteristics of polishing tools for high-accuracy aspheres. An asphere with obvious MSFE after fine grinding is prepared for pre-polishing in order to remove sub-surface damage as well as to control the figure accuracy. Then the aspheric surface is corrected to higher accuracy by bonnet polishing method, which is followed by the restraint of MSFE in the surface using self-made dual-flexible adaptive polishing tool. The restraint of MSFE is not finished until Zernike residual does not converge through CGH testing. An asphere with a diameter of 150 mm and a maximum departure of 0.344 mm from best fit sphere are successfully polished through 3 runs.The form is improved to achieves 4.5 nm RMS from 76 nm RMS and Zernike residual converged from 22.72 nm RMS to 3.46 nm RMS. Results show that the proposed method is useful to realize fast and valid restraint of MSFE for aspheres.

    A narrow bandpass optical angular filter is proposed based on the band gaps of one-dimensional aniosotropic photonic crystal. The angle photonic band gap structures and the angle defect modes of doped anisotropic stuctures are caculated by the electromagnetic finite element method. Numerical simulations show that there is a strong correlation between the photonic band gap and the incident angle, as well as the defect modes are tunable based on the incident angles. Unique properties of this systems emerging from doped anisotropic strucstures can realize a narrow band angle filtering which can be used as a good optical device in the future.

    To tackle the problems of low power efficiency and low contrast of liquid crystal display, a global dimming algorithm based on image classification is proposed. As brightness and contrast are two important display parameters, the paper takes use of these two parameters to classify the input images. Backlight dimming level is determined by image category, the average luminance and the difference between the average and maximum grayscales of all subpixels. The S-shaped curve is generated based on the characteristic value and the image category of input image to compensate liquid crystal pixels. For 60 images, the simulation results show that the average backlight power consumption is reduced by 19% and the static contrast ratio is improved by 143%. The prototype is developed based on the dimming algorithm. Compared with the LCD TV without applying the dimming algorithm, the practical results show that the average power consumption is reduced by 12.9% and the static contrast ratio is improved by 43.18%.

    For more precise measurements of the temporal evolution of plasma in the study of inertial confinement fusion (ICF), a novel optical streak camera with ultrahigh temporal resolution is proposed. Based on the photo-generated carrier effects, waveguide transmission and prism dispersion principle, this all-optical device can avoid the influence of the space charge effect. Then the key component in the camera, the optical scanning module, is designed and simulated through an emulator aiming at 1 ps time resolution capability. Results show that this module can deflect the signal light and transform the information it contains from time domain into space domain, which verifies the feasibility of such system and its benefits for the following experiments.

    ZnO nanorods are synthesised by the chemical solution method on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrate. The all-inorganic light emitting devices, with the structure of ITO/ZnO/ZnO nanorods/SiO2/Al, are obtained with various amount of SiO2 by different spin-coating speeds. According to energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) and absorption spectrum, the modification amount of SiO2 shows a gradual increase when the casting speed is reduced from 3000 r/min to 500 r/min. The electroluminescent (EL) spectra of devices, influenced by the casting speed, are measured and compared. For each spin coating speed, the EL intensity of devices shows obvious enhancement in the ultraviolet (UV) range with the applied voltage increasing ,whick is weakened simultaneously in visible region. The luminescent intensity in UV range enhances obviously when the casting speed increases to 1000 r/min and then declines gradually. At the same time, the visible emission disappears. The I-V curves reveal that the additional SiO2 modification drives up the turn-on voltage of the device monotonically and leads to a decline of maximum operating current. The discussion based on photolumine-scence (PL) spectra and the energy level diagram suggests that, besides surface passivation of ZnO nanorods by SiO2, the high barrier between ZnO and SiO2 induces electron accumulation and suppresses non-radiative recombination at ZnO layer. And the SiO2 on the surface of ZnO nanorods helps to improve the electron density and then the recombination rate at the higher levels of ZnO.

    A novel method of LED chip on board (COB) package based on plastic radiator without substrate is proposed. The thermal properties of tradition COB package and this new structure are simulated by using finite element analysis software Ansys. The simulation results show that, by mounting the LED chips on the plastic radiator with thermal conductivity of 20 W/(m·K), the method of LED COB package can provide a much lower temperature than the metal substrate COB package, and is similar to the ceramic substrate COB package. By further simulations, it is found that the thermal resistance is the minimum when the thickness of the plastic radiator is 3.9 mm. Moreover, with the thermal conductivity and the convection coefficient increasing, the thermal resistance reduces in different degrees. Because of the easy preparation process and colorful luster of the plastic, this new method of LED COB package has a broad application prospect.

    The boundary element method is a highly efficient algorithm for numerical solution of partial differential equations, which is widely used in solving electromagnetic field problems in micro- and nano-optics. The complex resonance frequency of circular cavity with different numbers of boundary elements is obtained, and its error is discussed. Major error can be regarded as absorption or amplification of electromagnetic waves by microcavity, which is concluded from the analysis of the quality factor. Then refractive index compensation method for fixing the error introduced by discrete process of boundary integral equation is proposed. The accuracy of the boundary element method is improved at least an order of magnitude after the amendment. Moreover, the correction amount obtained by a center frequency is valid, when it is used in a wide range of frequency around the central frequency. Therefore, the refractive index compensation method makes the calculation accurate and the computing speed significantly improved, the time and memory consumption sharply dropped. At the same time, correcting the simulation error from the physical point of view can be extended to other numerical methods.

    A new polarization imaging method, based on polarization state, is developed to obtain the spatial distribution of polarization state of object. A measurable physical quantity, called polarized-chromatic value, is introduced to describe the polarization state. The Stokes parameters employed to describe the polarization state are converted to three basic colors RGB, then the chromatic value of the RGB is used to describe the polarization state, therefore there is a one-to-one relationship between the polarized-chromatic value and the polarization state, and the polarized-chromatic value and the pixels. On this basis, the Stokes parameters measurement method is used for object point measurement to obtain the spatial distribution of Stokes parameters of the object. Then through the distribution of polarized-chromatic value, space distribution of the polarization state of the object is characterized, and thus the polarization imaging is realized. The experimental results show that the polarizaion state imaging method not only can measure the distribution of the stress size, but also measure the distribution of the stress direction.

    Non-Markov dynamics for open systems of a microcavity coupled to a general resonator with Lorentzian form are studied. Using the exact master equation of the reduced density operator, the propagating (retarded) Green function and correlation Green function which the non-Markov dynamics are completely determined by are solved analytically. The state and dissipation dynamics of the cavity are studied by numerically solving the Green function, and the evolution of them with time under different half-widths of the spectral density and detuning is discussed. It shows that the stronger the coherence is, the longer time of the non-Markov effect becomes.

    Stripe noise is common to most push-broom-type imagers and it perturbs both image quality analysis and the posterior processing. Based on the analysis of the the characteristics of the stripe noise, a new destriping method is proposed. By taking a quasi-homogeneous region as a reference, ideal data of the striped area can be estimated and be used to compute correction parameters. The cross-track edge information is extracted and processed using morphological techniques. Experiments carried out on real remote sensing data demonstrate that the proposed method can bring peak signal-to-noise ratio from 32 dB up to 48 dB. Compared to the existing typical algorithms, this destriping method can achieve lower image distortion, higher inverse coefficient of variation and peak signal-to-noise ratio. By reducing stripe noise and reserving useful details, the image quality is improved effectively.

    Band selection can greatly increase the efficiency of classification and unmixing of hyperspectral image. Two modified linear-prediction (LP) band selection methods based on similarity are proposed, which measure the information amount of bands through Skewness or Kurtosis and measure the similarity of bands through mutual information (MI) or K-L (Kullback-Leibler) divergence. The least similar two bands with large information amount are selected as the initial two bands, and the rest bands are selected by modified linear prediction. However, the existence of noise bands will affect the result of band selection, making the accuracy of classification or unmixing lower than expected. In order to weaken the adverse effect of noise bands, further efforts are made to estimate the noise of every band through wavelet entropy and remove the bands with considerable noise before band selection. The experiments of classification and unmixing after band selection for real hyperspectral images indicate that linear prediction based band selection can greatly increase the accuracy and efficiency of classification and unmixing , and it is an effective dimensionality reduction method for hyperspectral image.

    Multichannel ultra-wide-angle polarimetric camera is a fine solution for polarimetric remote sensing by achieving multispectral, multiangle, and polarimetric information in target detection. By analyzing the optical system of Directional Polarimetric Camera, which belongs to this type, it is shown that the different aspects of the polarization properties of ultra-wide-angle lens (linear diattenuation and retardance) bring different effects on radiometric and polarimetric accuracies so that they can hardly be satisfied simultaneously. Based on the original design of Directional Polarimetric Camera, a method, which includes improved lens design, better optical coating design and modified polarimetric calibration is developed, to satisfy the accuracy specifications. After comparison between these two designs, the result shows that the improved method reduces the above so-called difference effectively. The method can work as a reference for accuracy design of other multichannel ultra-wide-angle polarimetric cameras.

    In order to study the impact of mixing ways of aerosols on their optical properties, one typical external mixing model plus three different internal mixing models of aerosols are introduced. The optical properties of mixed aerosol particles formed by black carbon, sulfate and organic carbon at 550 nm wavelength are calculated. The results show that there are great differences in optical properties of mixing particles and particle groups obtained by these models except Maxwell-Garnett model and Bruggeman model (difference less than 2%). Compared with externally mixed particle groups, the mass absorption factors of internally mixed particle groups are increased by about 20%, while the mass scattering factors of the particle groups are decreased by 10%~15% in most cases. The internal mixing models make a large enhancement of the mass extinction factors of mixed particle groups by 25% for maximum. Furthermore, the reduction of single scattering albedo is significant. In particular, the reduction of the scattering albedo of the mixed particle groups can be larger than 20% under circumstances that the volume ratio of black carbon is below 30% and the relative humidity is above 70%. In addition, optical properties of mixed particles, except the asymmetry parameter, are distinctly related to the change of volume ratio or relative humidity.

    A method is designed for acquiring the explicit cumulative probability distribution function (CPDF) based on curve fitting with a user defined function. By comparing and analyzing the efficiencies of two photons tracking modes named event method and weight method respectively, the relationship between sample size and calculation time in the two modes is found to be linear. The calculation speed of event method is faster than that of weight method, but the convergence of weight method is better than that of event method obviously. To achieve the same convergence standard, the sample size of weight method required can even be 1~2 orders of magnitudes less than that of event method. The influence of threshold value on the calculation accuracy and time of weight method always happens when the threshold value is larger than one spercent of the computing object, and generally speaking, the calculation efficiencies of weight method are better than that of event method.

    The spatial evolution of the plasma emission spectra in the wavelength range of 490~600 nm during pulsed fiber laser dressing of bronze-bonded diamond grinding wheel under different laser conditions are studied. Under the assumption of local thermodynamic equilibrium, the electron temperature is determined from the Boltzmann plot method whereas the electron number density is calculated from the Stark broadened profiles according to the experimentally observed line profiles of neutral copper. Besides, the variations of the electron temperature and the electron number density as a function of the single-pulse laser energy at different distances along the direction of propagation of the plasma are studied. The results show that the electron temperature and density take on the Lorentz distribution as the distances increases, and they increase exponentially as the single-pulse laser energy increases. In addition, the behavior of the inverse bremsstrahlung absorption coefficient with the detecting distance and the single-pulse laser energy is also discussed.

    Fabry-Perot (F-P) interferometer is a kind of multiple beam interferometer. It has very high spectral resolution, and can be used to research fine structure of the matter. The application of F-P interferometer is limited by the free spectral range. The fine structure of the matter will not be got when the bandwidth of the light surpass the free spectral range. Based on the F-P interferometer, we describe the relationship between the interference pattern and the spectral curve as equation sequence. The equation sequence is solved by the singular value decomposition, and the wide bandwidth spectral curve will be got. By this way F-P interferometer can be used as a spectral imaging instrument. But the algorithm is sensitivity to the noise of the interference pattern. After some simulation work, we find the noise of the interference pattern should be less than 0.2%.

    Optically transparent frequency selective surface (FSS) is designed on metallic mesh. When it is loaded on the optical window of combined guidance radome, the diffractive effect to infrared will interfere with the quality of imaging system. For reducing the interference in the design procedure of optically transparent FSS, this paper specifically studies the influence of structural parameters of optically transparent FSS on the diffractive characteristics based on Fraunhofer diffractive theory. It is found that when the period of metallic mesh increases or the line width decreases, the intensity of diffractive light increases but distribution remains constant and the period has more notable influence on intensity. As the slit width and length of cross FSS unit increase separately, the diffractive light has rising intensity and unchanged distribution. Moreover, when the wavelength of incident light increases, the integral transmittance of optically transparent FSS increases. These show a good agreement with experimental results. The analysis mentioned above will have an important guiding significance in the process of designing optically transparent FSS.

    Aiming at slow light phenomenon in the thin film, the mechanism of slow light and its influence factors are investigated. Because the thickness of the thin film is extremely small, an assumption that the component of the magnetic field in the thickness direction is independent of the thickness is proposed. Then the dispersion relation in the thin film media is obtained. The expression of the group velocity of the light in the thin film media is deduced. Then the influences of the frequency of the light, the refractive index of the thin film media and the thickness of the thin film media on the group velocity are analyzed. The influence curves of the group velocity in the thin film media are acquired. The research shows that speed of the light in the thin film media can be greatly reduced by selecting the appropriate influence factors. It provides a theoretical basis for the slow light technology in thin film media.

    A kind of amorphous silicon(a-Si) thin film solar cell structure, which has an antireflection (AR) coating and a back reflector, is presented. The AR coating consists of four dielectric materials with refractive index from low to high. The back reflector consists of a triangle dielectric diffraction grating and a one-dimensional photonic crystal structure. The parameters of the dielectric layers and the grating are optimized by rigorous coupled wave analysis and plane wave theory method. The reflection efficiency of the AR coating and back reflector with incident angle range of 0°~60° are calculated numerically. The results show that the AR coating has high transmission within the wavelength range of 300~750 nm and the back reflector has high reflection within the wavelength range of 600~750 nm. For the a-Si thin film solar cell with 700-nm-thick active layer, with incident wave of TM polarization and incident angle which is less than 75°, the solar cell has an average absorptance of 95% after optimizing in wavelength range of 300~750 nm.
