For the high spatial resolution remote sensing image, the size is vast, the object features are abundant and the edge information is complex. According to its characteristics, a fast adaptive interpolation algorithm applied to the high spatial resolution remote sensing image is proposed. The new algorithm classifies the interpolative dots according to the parity of the coordinate, and gets edges of the original image by applying the Canny operator. Every rectangular area comprised of four neighboring pixel is classified into five types in accordance with the edge characteristics, and the fast interpolation is finished for different types of the interpolative dots. The relationship among pixel of the original image and the assigned interpolation points are used to assign values to the rest dots. Experimental results show that the new algorithm can not only have a low computational complexity, but also accurately preserve edges and prevent blur. In addition, it can effectively enhance the low peak signal to noise ratio. The new algorithm has high practical value to researches on interpolation algorithm of the remote sensing image.

    Variability of particulate scattering properties and its possible influencing factors are studied using the in-situ inherent optical properties (IOPs) data obtained during april 2012 in the outside estuary of the Yangtze River. Twelve stations are monitored, and the result shows that the average of particulate backscattering coefficients and backscatter ratios at 488 nm at the surface, 5, 10, 20, 30 m depth are 0.0617, 0.0683, 0.0642, 0.0606, 0.1294 m-1 and 1.77%, 1.92%, 1.94%, 1.98%, 2.15%, respectively. The average of particle refractive index at the five layers is 1.14. Except one or two stations, it varies between 1.1 and 1.2. These show the domination of the inorganic mineral particles in this area, although the absorption peak around 676 nm implies a significant concentration of pigment particles in the water. In conclusion, subject to the abundant input of fresh water from the Yangtze River and the re-suspension of bottom particles, particulate scattering and backscattering dominate the IOPs and their variabilities. Also, non-organic mineral particles are the dominant constituents in seawater. Moreover, the variation of particulate scattering shows strong correlation with the depth.

    The matrix formulae of beam higher-order moments through an optical system in atmospheric turbulence are derived by using the Wigner distribution function (WDF). It is shown that the fourth-order moment matrix depends on two turbulence parameters Tμν and μν, the third-order and the second-order moment matrixes depend on only Tμν, and the first-order moment matrix is independent of turbulence. The results obtained in this paper are general, for example, the matrix formulae of beam higher-order moments through Kolmogorov turbulence, non-Kolmogorov turbulence, optical system or free space can be given as special cases. The advantages of matrix formulation are that the expressions for higher-order moments are brief, and the physical meanings of higher-order moments are clear. The results obtained in this paper are of considerable theoretical and practical interest.

    Laser illumination is an effective technology for the imaging and tracking to the far dim targets in the air. Because of laser transmitting in the air, the spatial distribution of intensity on the target plane is non-uniform caused by atmospheric turbulence, and the laser wavefront generates aberration, which decreases image resolution and tracking accuracy in optical system. A model of illumination laser propagation in atmosphere has been built. Under the condition of moderate turbulence, weak turbulence and multi-beams, numeric simulation for laser illumination to air targets has been carried out, and the affects of illumination light intensity and wavefront on remote target imaging are analyzed. The results show that illumination light intensity fluctuation variance below 0.5 and wavefront aberration standard error below 0.2 λ meet 1 μrad magnitude resolution capability.

    A novel method for the measurement of the polarization states of fiber distributed feedback (DFB) laser is proposed, which is based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) amplification effect in optical fibers. Based on the interaction of the outputs of a tunable laser source (TLS) and a DFB laser, the absolute wavelengths of the double polarization states, the relative wavelength interval and respective light power of the laser are obtained. The influence of lateral pressure to the DFB laser is studied, and the single-polarization single-mode output is realized. Compared with the method using Fabry-Perot (FP) etalon, FP interferometer and heterodyning in previous studies, this method is easier to operate and can acquire more informations about the polarization states.

    The Fourier transform (FT) method for demodulating the extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometer (EFPI) possesses the advantage of high resolution and wide dynamic range for the absolute measurement in demodulating white-light EFPI. However, the dynamic range and the resolution of this method are limited by the nonlinear relationship with the scanning wavelength and the fence effect of FT, respectively. The cubic spline interpolation and a modified FT algorithm are used to reduce the influence of chirped spectrum and increase the resolution, respectively. The simulation and the experimental results show that the algorithm has seventy times enhancement of the resolution of demodulation.

On this basis, a way to enhance the available bandwidth of AFOC is studied theoretically and experimentally based on the biquad digital filter technique. Experimental results show that the first-order resonance peak of AFOC is suppressed efficiently and the usable operation bandwidth increases from about 1.3 kHz to 2.5 kHz.

But it may mistakenly regard the inner parts of the saliency region as the background. A new algorithm based on multi-scale fusion techniques of the image high frequency information is proposed. First, the new algorithm creates several spatial scales of remote sensing images by using Gaussian pyramid. Then, for each scale, the new algorithm can get the high frequency information by the Fourier transform. Finally, the new algorithm gets the final saliency map by fusing the high frequency information on one scale. The new algorithm can not only well extract details of the salient region, but also effectively get rid of mistaken detection of the inner parts of the saliency region. Comparing with Itti model, the new algorithm has lower computation complexity.

    Terahertz (THz) digital holography is an important research aspect of terahertz imaging technology. The recording distance of terahertz digital holography is generally short because of the long wavelength and restriction of the detector. The exact measurement of the real recording distance is of great significance. Autofocusing researches have been made on real 2.52 THz Gabor inline digital holograms based on five kinds of autofocusing criterion functions. The criterion precision is improved by cropping object in the reconstructed images. The experimental results show that the performance of normalized variance criterion function is the best.

    Images captured by the staring imaging system in geostationary orbit usually emerge blur because of the satellite vibration in the exposure time. To eliminate the motion blur degradation, the paper proposes to capture multiple short-exposure images and fuse them on sub-pixel scale instead. Image sequences with different conditions are captured by a high-speed camera, cooperated with a vibration simulation system. The sub-pixel displacements between the different frames estimated by image registration algorithm are compared with the motion data measured by the linear encoder. Experimental results indicate that the algorithm precision is better than 0.1 pixel. Several sharpest short-exposure frames are chose for sub-pixel image fusion. Compared with the long-exposure image, the motion blur in the fusion image is weakened. It proves that the method of multiple integration and sub-pixel image fusion is powerful of vibration suppression for staring imaging system in geostationary orbit.

Depending on the data of real-time temperature field, the real-time on-orbit thermal deformation is analyzed, and the camera optical axis direction of dynamic variation is calculated with thermal deformation data. The modulation transfer function (MTF) of the optical system and the dynamic optical axis direction changes are used to evaluate the image quality and the effect of the thermal control strategy. The analysis shows that attitude changes of high resolution remote sensing satellite cause external heat flux changes in its camera, which causes the temperature field changes of camera optical and mechanical structure. Thus, thermal stability of the camera suffers ordeal. Thermal stress caused by the temperature fluctuation and the temperature gradient makes the optical system to produce rigid body displacement and wave front aberration. As a result, the imaging quality is redused.

    Thermal depolarization caused by birefringence is a major factor that limits the output power of linearly polarized Nd:YAG laser. Compared with conventional [111]- cut Nd:YAG rod, the thermal depolarization depends on the polarization direction for the [100]- cut Nd:YAG rod. The linearly polarized output power can be improved by suitable modification of the polarization direction of oscillate laser. The [111]- and [100]- cut Nd:YAG rods are used as the gain medium and the Cr4+:YAG crystal is used as the saturable absorber for passively Q-switched laser. The experiment demonstrates that in comparison with conventional [111]- cut Nd:YAG rod, highly stabled output with high extinction is achieved by using the [100]- cut Nd:YAG rod as the laser crystal. The extinction ratio is 5001 and polarized output stability is higher than 96.5%.

    By using femtosecond laser direct writing platform, the interaction between femtosecond and semiconductor silicon material are studied. The formation of microstructure on silicon under fixed dot irradiation and scan with femtosecond laser pulse at different laser power and pulses is described. Scanning electron microscopy is used for observing the morphologies of the surface microstructure. It is experimentally demonstrated that the period and morphology of fabricated microstructures is effected by the laser power and pulse number. The orientation of the period stripe is effected by the polarization direction of the incident femtosecond laser. We can control the period stripe orientation by adjusting the polarization direction of the incident laser. Large area of microstructures can be induced on the surface of material by scanning. According to the experimental results, the effect of pulse number on period is analysed . The results provide a reference to the silicon surface microstructures processing.

    The experiment uses a 532 nm high power laser as the light source, and the beam passes through the spirally varying retarder (SVR) to generate a polarized beam. A novel Brilliouin scattering is found by the stimulation of a high power radially polarization laser in the n-hexane. The resultant of Brilliouin scattering is in radial polarized distribution when it is stimulated by the high power radially polarization laser. This phenomenon reveals the reservation of the same characteristics of radially polarization beam in the Brilliouin scattering experiment.

    The modeling of chemical oxygen iodine laser power using a simplified saturation model is established. The main factors influencing the power of chemical oxygen iodine laser have been studied theoretically. According to the testing parameter of chemical oxygen iodine laser, the power stability caused by chlorine and iodine pressure has been analyzed. It is found that the root mean square (RMS) of chlorine and iodine venturitube pressure becomes small as the laser time increasing between 1 and 6 seconds, at the same time, the more RMS of chlorine, iodine venturitube pressure, the more RMS of chemical oxygen iodine laser power. Chemical oxygen iodine laser power stabilization increases by improving the pressure stabilization of chlorine and iodine venturitube.

    Improvement is made in the traditional spectral beam combining structure by adding beam shaping element, namely BTS. BTS is used to rotate the beam from the emitter in semiconductor laser array. The slow axis light distribution of each emitter becomes vertical distribution. The fast axis light distribution becomes horizontal distribution. Spectral beam combination is conducted by external cavity after beam shaping in horizontal direction. The effect of smile is reduced. As a result, the overall output beam quality and conversion efficiency is improved very much. A standard semiconductor laser array is used in this experiment. Output power of 70.01 W, electro-optic conversion efficiency of 52.8% and spectral beam combining efficiency of 92.2% are achieved. The spectral line-width is 7.7 nm. M2 of 1.28 (0.4 mm·mrad) in horizontal and 11.2 (3.5 mm·mrad) in vertical are obtained. The beam quality of the output is close to that of a single emitter of the array in both directions.

    To improve the heat dissipation performance of the high power solid state laser, a spray cooling system is designed based on the refrigeration cycle, with R600a as the coolant. The heat transfer performance of the closed spray cooling system is studied by experiment. The results show that the heat source surface temperature is affected by the nozzle inlet pressure and spray chamber evaporation pressure. And it is more effective to reduce the surface temperature by reducing the spray chamber evaporation pressure. For example, the decrease of 50 kPa evaporation pressure can result in the reduction of 8 ℃ of the surface temperature. The nozzle inlet pressure and spray chamber evaporation pressure also have a combined effect on the heat transfer coefficient. It is found that the heat transfer coefficient is up to 35000 W/(m2·℃) in the experiment. In addition, the surface temperature standard deviation is mainly affected by the nozzle inlet pressure, and it is hardly affected by the increasing of pray chamber evaporation pressure.

    An angular-independent Solc-type electro-optical filter based on two-dimensional (2D) angularly periodically poled LiNbO3 is presented. We find that the 2D angularly poled LiNbO3 can provide invariable radial reciprocal vectors which can be used in designing angular-independent Solc-type electro-optical filter. The study demonstrates that the Solc-type filter based on 2D angularly poled LiNbO3 can keep its central passing wavelength unchanged even though the incident light deviate from the normal incidence. The angular-independent Solc-type electro-optical filter can find its application in multi-angle, multi-beam filtering.

    The novel nonlinear dynamics of dissipative optical solitons supported by introducing a V-shaped potential of antiwaveguiding structures are reported based on the two dimensional (2D) complex Ginzburg-Landau (CGL) equation with cubic-quintic nonlinearity. If the potentials are strong enough, they give rise to continuous splitting of expanding solitons from a cental soliton. The rate of splitting increases with the growth of potential intensity. For a weak potential, the stretch of the cental soliton into ellipse shape is observed instead. For a too strong potential, the central soliton dissipates. In addition, the influence of effective diffusion, gain and loss coefficient on the dynamic regimes is studied. Sufficient energy gain is necessary to maintain continuous splitting of the center soliton.

    Aspherical components have been more and more widely used in optical systems. In order to enhance the ability of light collecting for the optical system, highly steep aspheres are often used. However, manufacturing of highly steep aspheres is now one of the hard work in optical engineering field. Through a manufacturing case of F number of 0.42 off-axis asphere with large asphericity, some researching progresses are introduced. The first is the milling technology for off-axis asphere, comparing with the traditional milling technology of the best fitting sphere (BFS), the remaining asperical error is decreased greatly, and the following grinding cycle is shortened about 2/3; while decreasing the sag difference of the asphere by coordinate transforming of the equation, the difficulty of manufacturing is greatly reduced. Meanwhile, by making the small tool running along the asphere′s normal, we can ensure the removal function′s symmetry, and the solving procedure of the tool′s position and coordinate′s compensation is given in detail. The example shows that the final asphere precision [root-mean-square (RMS)] attains to 0.039λ (λ is 632.8 nm).

    In order to realize the accurate position of an off-axis aspheric surface in optical alignment, it is necessary to strictly control the six degrees of freedom, especially the two degrees of freedom that affect lateral displacement and tilts angle. But it′s very difficult to obtain the above two accurate values using general off-axis aspheric surface measurement technique, so it′s same difficult to realize its precise alignment. The article introduces a new method that applying the close relationship between the center image of radius of curvature and the optical axis of the self-regulating instrument, and by using the precise measurement, the purpose of measuring lateral displacement and tilts angle is achieved. Experiments show that the error of lateral displacement is less than 0.05 mm, the error of tilts angle is less than 10″, and the wave aberration root mean square is equal to 0.02λ (λ=632.8 nm). It can obtain the perfect image and realize the precise alignment of the off-axis aspheric mirror by using this method.

    The optical intensity distribution in the focal volume plays an important role on the performance for many optical systems. Effective manipulation of focused optical intensity distribution can be obtained by using a pupil filter composed by zonal optical diffractive element and zonal double half-wave plate which can modulate both the phase and the direction of polarization of incident radially polarized beam zone by zone, and turn radially polarized beam into zonal sylindrically polarized beam. Numerical simulations of Matlab show that different intensity distributions can be obtained in the focal volume. Using the method, besides the existing doughnut intensity distribution and flattop focal spot in focal plane, the flattop doughnut intensity in the focal plane with hollow three-dimension (3D) pattern is obtained. This result can find potential use in fields such as particle manipulation and caption, laser micromachining, etc.

    Periodic bottle beams can be generated by a line focusing Bessel beam illuminated on an axicon, the influence of astigmatism introduced by elliptical manufacture error and oblique illumination on the bottle beam generated by line focusing Bessel beam using axion is analyzed in terms of Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffractive theory. The influence of astigmatism on the bottle beam is not big and the bottle beam still keeps its periodicity and ring closed characteristic, as long as the astigmatism is limited in a small range. The larger the base angle or the refractive index of the axicon is, the smaller the range is, and the more susceptible to the astigmatism introduced by the elliptical manufacture error and oblique illumination the bottle beam is. The result may serve as a guideline in the application of the periodic bottle beam.

    Taking the whole blood obtained from daily clinical inspection as experimental materials, triglyceride concentration of serum is determined by traditional clinical method: glycerol phosphate oxidase-peroxidase-4-amino antipyrine-phenol method. Near infrared spectroscopy of all serum samples are collected at the same time, with the range between 12500~4000 cm-1. A quantitative model of serum triglyceride concentration by near infrared spectroscopy is established by combining with partial least squares (PLS) method. Experimental results show that the proper variable range is 10796.2~8246.6 cm-1, and with the multiplicative scatter correction as spectrum pretreatment method, the quantitative PLS calibration model for serum triglyceride is established. The correlation coefficient R2=0.9454, cross-validation calibration standard deviation (RMSECV) is 0.146 for the calibration set; the predicted standard deviation (RMSEP) is 0.151, and correlation coefficient R2=0.9068 for the test set. The results show that, by the application of near infrared spectroscopy combined with partial least squares method, the serum triglyceride quantitative model is successfully established with high accuracy and stability, which can be used for non-destructive testing of triglyceride content in the unknown serum samples.

Cell constant is an important parameter of photoacoustic detection system, which directly measurements the system′s ability of converting light energy into sound energy. So the calibration of the cell constant is an important job for photoacoustic detection system′s metrology. Oxygen in the air is used to calibrate the cell constant.
