Because the aerosol type is very important in the inversion of optical thickness, it can greatly improve the inversion precision by using the most accurate aerosol type of the inversion area. Combined with the moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) data, a mathematic model for solving the aerosol concentration ratio in Hangzhou area is proposed. By using the aerosol types of this mathematical model, the aerosol optical thickness can be obtained based on the 6S atmospheric model combined with the improved dense dark vegetation. The aerosol observation results are compared with aerosol values detected by AERONET sun photometer, which show that the inversion error absolute value is within 20% . The Hangzhou area atmospheric aerosol optical standard type 6S atmospheric model is given and the thicknesses of the inversion are compared with the inversion values using custom aerosol. The results show that the absolute value of retrieval relative errors of optical thicknesses by using aerosol types of custom value is 3% lower than that by using standard aerosol type value.

    Laser cooling of molecule is one of the most important progresses on the generation of cold molecules in experiments. To find a suitable candidate for laser cooling experiment, the molecular structure parameters and spectral data must be understood. These parameters are important basis of choosing molecules. The detailed calculations of vibronic structure and rotational hyperfine structure of the molecular X and A states are carried out. Considering the parameters of nuclear spins, excited lifetime, dark state,transition levels, and so on, a new suitable molecule (magnesium fluoride) for laser cooling is proposed, and the appropriate transition is used to form the quasi- closed energy level system for laser cooling.

According to the wave- coupling theory, the analytical expression of the diffraction intensity for the grating is derived, and the numerical results show that the diffraction spectrum of the grating can be tuned by an applied electric field. For example, with an applied voltage of 310 V, the diffraction efficiency of first order spectrum is greater than 60% over the band from 1.21 mm to 1.83 mm. Especially at the wavelength of 1.5 mm, it reaches 70%. With an applied voltage of 165 V, the diffraction efficiency of first order spectrum is more than 60% over the band from 0.68 mm to 0.92 mm. Particularly at the wavelength of 0.8 mm,it is up to 81% .

    To make varied-line-space holographic grating which in applied in the extreme ultraviolet band (50~150 nm), a new optimization algorithm applied to spherical wavefront system is proposed, named the improved local optimization algorithm. According to the request of instruments, expected varied-line-space holographic grating density function is built. Based on this density function, the merit function is given, of which characteristic is transforming four merit functions to one merit function which has multivariate and nonlinear constrains. Using the improved local algorithm, the error of groove density coefficient is reduced and the resolution of gratings is improved due to the weighted, the diversity of the initial value, the limitation of the recording parameters values range and the constraint of groove density coefficients. Compared with the conventional local optimization algorithm, using the improved local optimization algorithm makes absolute error between design and expected groove density in 0~0.02 line/mm range. And the order of magnitude is improved and the resolution increases from 4000 to above 17000.

    Based on the modified Rytov variance, the effect of partially coherent beam through atmospheric turbulence on log-intensity variance is studied using the Gaussian-Schell model (GSM) beam and Andrews model. The log-intensity variance is deduced and discussed when partially coherent beam goes through weak turbulence and strong turbulence. The results show that the log-intensity variance of the partially coherent beam is lower than that of the fully coherent beam under the same turbulence conditions, as the light source coherence becomes worse, the log-intensity variance and the influence of turbulence plane decreases. The light source coherence, atmospheric refractive index structure constant and other parameters all have great effect on scintillation in both of weak and strong turbulence.

    The iterative partial transmit sequence (IPTS) clipping algorithm is used to reduce the peak- toaverage power ratio (PAPR) of 100- Gb/s high- speed polarization division multiplexing coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (PDM- CO- OFDM) system. PAPR, bit error rate (BER), and nonlinearity performance are analyzed. Simulation results demonstrate that the PAPR, BER, and nonlinearity performance of IPTS clipping algorithm are superior to those of clipping algorithm. At the complementary cumulative distribution function (CCDF) of 0.0001, the threshold value of IPTS clipping algorithm is optimized by 0.62 dB compared with clipping algorithm. Compared with original signal, the maximum peak power of IPTS clipping algorithm is reduced by 2.63 dBm. In the same conditions, the needed optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR) of IPTS clipping algorithm is 12.28 dB to reach the BER level of 10- 3. However, the minimum BER of clipping algorithm is only 1.55× 10- 3. At the launch power of - 1 dBm, the Q value of IPTS clipping algorithm is improved by 0.28 dB compared with clipping algorithm.

    A new method to improve the performance of Brillouin optical time domain reflectometer (BOTDR) system is proposed, by introducing the reported pulsed pre-pump technique into the well known structure based on the consideration of Brillouin spectrum reshaping. In this method, the optical pulse launched into the fiber is provided by electro-optical modulation with a step pulse composed of a pre-pump pulse and a sensing pulse. The reshaping of Brillouin spectrum and the amplification of sensing signal are achieved through the stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) interaction between pre-pump pulse and sensing pulse, and the contradiction between spatial resolution and measurement accuracy can be solved, effectively. Meanwhile, the signal to noise ratio and the sensing distance can be enhanced significantly. SBS models under steady-state are solved by transient analysis in the step pulse modulation BOTDR, the optimal design of step pulse is made, and the system performance is compared with those in rectangular pulse and Lorentz pulse modulation structures. The results show that with a step pulse synthesized by a pre-pump pulse with a width of 50 ns and a peak power of 0.2 W and a sensing pulse with the corresponding parameters of 2 ns and 1 W, Brillouin spectrum width can be as narrow as about 44 MHz, and the signal to noise ratio at the end of 10 km single mode fiber can be 7.97 dB higher than that in the rectangular pulse structure. Finally, the feasibility of the proposed method is demonstrated experimentally.

In the receiver, camera is employed to receive the wireless signals. After that, the image processing algorithms are defined to recognize and restore the signal sequences and the n signal sequences can be recovered. The result demonstrates that the minority error codes appeared in the experiments all can be rectified accurately, and the signal sequences sent in the transmitting end all can be restored in the receiving end exactly. The presented approach evades the layout problem of lighting, the synchronization problem, and the multipath interference problem existed in the presented system based on the photodiode receiver by altering the mechanism of signal receiving. The way of transferring and receiving the signals based on multi-channels presented increases the use ratio of light source, and it possesses more practical value because of its operability.

    The light scintillating caused by atmospheric turbulence, absorption and scattering can increase the energy attenuation of the laser beam and decrease the signal to noise ratio(SNR). Diversity reception technology can overcome this effect, effectively. Using on off keying (OOK) modulated, free space optical communication (FSO) system with spatial diversity based on the K-distributed model is established. The error performances among three linear combining technologies as maximal ratio combining (MRC), equal gain combining (EGC) and selection combining (SC) for different channel parameters and different detectors are analysed. The simulation results show that the performance of the system by MRC is the best, followed by EGC, and SC combining is poor. Spatial diversity has strong ability to improve the performance and resistance to atmospheric channel decline.

    An improved method is proposed to solve the existing problem that the fusion process is too simple in non-subsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) super-resolution reconstruction. The magnitude of the spatial frequency reflects the degree of image detail richness, and the improved method uses this magnitude of regional window as the standard of the weight, so the adaptive weighted fusion method is applied to the obtained high frequency by NSCT decomposition of image. The adaptive weighted fusion method and NSCT analysis are assembled to achieve image super-resolution reconstruction, in this process, each corresponding high-frequency image is fused by adaptive weighted fusion method, and the low-frequency image is processed to get a mean. The super-resolution image is acquired by inverse NSCT to both the low frequency images and high frequency images. Through simulation and engineering practice, the improved method proves to be feasible and effective.

A physical model of the imaging sensor in fog weather is established, and the mathematical model of linear spectral mixture with fog endmember is unmixed. The fog endmember obtained from the abundance inversion is removed. The defogging image is achieved after the abundance adjustment of the remaining endmembers. Compared with the fog/cloud removal based on the single- band or full-color image, the physical meaning of this approach is clearer. From the objective evaluation, it can be seen that the defogging effect of the proposed method is good. The defogging image has richer details.

    Stereo matching is one of the most active research areas in computer vision. As it is an ill problem, a perfect solution does not exist until now. Aiming at solving the problem of low accuracy and sensitivity to radiometric distortion caused by existing local matching algorithm, a new stereo matching algorithm using improved gradient cost and adaptive window is presented here. Besides of the magnitude information in traditional gradient cost, the phase information is introduced and the taw matching cost is transformed to eliminate outliers. An adaptive window for every pixel is constructed by utilizing the image structure and color intensity. An effective disparity refinement method based on local disparity histogram is employed, which gains disparity maps with high accuracy. The experimental results show that the proposed method has an average error of 6.1% in the Middlebury testing benchmark, while keeping strong robustness to radiometric distortion.

    Satellite vibration and scan mirror oscillation can cause oscillation distortions of remote sensing imagery. These distortions are difficult to be corrected by common geometric correction methods. A geometric correction method using compressive sampling is proposed. In this method, geometric correction is performed with rational function model (RFM). The biases between the image coordinates and project coordinates of ground control points (GCPs) are calculated with the original RFM. The bias is called projection bias. The projection biases at the GCPs are regarded as measurements. By using the technique of compressive sampling, the projection biases of every pixel can be reconstructed, and the RFM is compensated according to projection biases. The remote sensing imagery is rectified with the compensated RFM. Through compensation, the errors of RFM which caused by oscillation distortions are eliminated and the performance of geometric correction is improved. The method is proved effective by using real remote sensing images. Based on simulated images, the effect of GCPs distribution and number on geometric correction is also analyzed.

The 2D motion blur simulation is applied on the binocular parallax images, and then displayed on the 3D space. After that, the comparison perception experiment is completed between real motion blur perception and simulation. The experiment result shows that factor“parallax”has no significant effect on motion blur perception. Based on these, the average motion blur level of two parallax images is used to establish objective motion blur evaluation method of binocular parallax based stereoscopic displays. The proposed method makes the motion image quality evaluation of binocular parallax based stereoscopic displays more objective and precise. Meanwhile, it provides reference for the motion image quality improvement in stereoscopic displays.

    Among the existing calibration methods for line structured light sensor, the accuracy of calibration points in laser plane has direct influence on the calibration result of line structured light sensor. A new calibration method for line structured light sensor based on planar target is proposed. The proposed approach does not need to calculate the calibration points in laser plane and the extrinsic camera parameters repeatedly. Planar target is moved to capture laser stripe with different directions and compute the vanish points, and then the normal vector of laser plane is calibrated by the way of fitting straight using the vanish lines. After that, distances between each calibration points are computed based on the principle of cross ratio invariance, and the remaining parameters are calculated according to the distances. Considering the influence of error propagation, an optimized objective function is defined with the obtained parameters as initial value. The results of comparative experiment show that the proposed method has higher calibration accuracy, and the root mean square measurement error is 0.0306 mm. Besides that, the calibration process is simple with low computational complexity, and suitable for calibration on spot.

    In order to achieve multiple targets in real-time or near real-time orientation, a multi-target selfdetermination orientation system based on airborne photoelectric imaging platform is established and a precise multi-target self-determination orientation model based on line-of-sight vector of pixel is proposed for the system.Using target detection algorithms to obtain the precise pixel coordinates of each target, the line-of-sight vectors of each target are constructed based on image forming principles for single-plane array charge coupled device(CCD) sensors, and the view angles of pixel between the main target at image center and other targets are calculated.Combining with the azimuth angle, elevation angle and the distance between the main target and the photoelectric platform, the distance and angle relations between other targets and the photoelectric platform are calculated. Based on the position and attitude information of aircraft, which is obtained by the global positioning system (GPS)heading and attitude measuring system, the homogeneous coordinate transformation method is applied to calculate the geodetic coordinates of multiple targets in a single image. For the orientation error caused by the lens distortion,a method based on the lens distortion ratio is presented to correct it. When flying at an altitude of 1100 m, the circular error probable (CEP) of multi-target self-determination orientation system is approximately 28.74 m, and the height error is about 18 m. It can geolocate 50 targets in a single image in real-time. When the lens distortion ratio is 2%, the CEP of multiple targets position data is reduced by 7% after correcting the lens distortion.

By using the Fourier theory to analyze the A and B moire fringe signals, the moire fringe signal models for the absolute linear encoder is set up. By correcting the phase, amplitude, harmonics and direct current components of the signal modes, the ideal signal models are obtained. By comparing the interpolation position of the practical and ideal signal models, the interpolation error of the absolute linear encoder is obtained. After that, by compensating the interpolation position according to the obtained error, the interpolation accuracy can be improved remarkably. The JC09 absolute linear encoder is used to test and verify the presented method. The test results show that the interpolation relative error can be decreased from 2.70% to 1.05% . It demonstrates that this method can improve the interpolation accuracy significantly. In addition, due to the simple theory, the method can be easily realized.

The thermal-deformation of the mirror with different semiconductor refrigeration powers are compared, then, for the TEM00 mode Gaussian beam whose radius is 1/3 of the mirror, the structure of the mirror is optimized when the absorbed power is 50 W. The optimized mirror in the TEM00 mode Gaussian beam of different parameters and TEM10, TEM11 mode Hermite-Gaussian beam under the irradiation of the thermal deformation are analyzed. The simulation results show that when the semiconductor refrigeration power equals the power of the laser absorbed and lags behind the laser works, the deformation is largely improved and is relatively stable at last. In addition, when a circular area with thickness of 1.4 mm and inner radius of 25 mm is removed at the backside of the mirror, the peak valley (PV) value is 0.005 mm. The PV value of the thermal distortion of the optimized mirror is reduced in a certain extent under other laser radiations. For TEM00 mode Gaussian beam and TEM10, TEM11 mode Hermite-Gaussian beam, the mirror satisfies the requirement of the optic system.

    In view of the detection rate degradation of traffic sign due to multiple signs interconnection, a separation algorithm based on curvature scale space (CSS) corner detection is proposed. The candidate regions of multiple signs interconnection are automatically identified based on red green blue (RGB) normalization color segmentation algorithm and region feature decision criterion. The edge smoothing and contour tracking for the extracted target region are performed. For the obtained contour, the corner detection by using the CSS corner detector based on global and local curvature properties is conducted. And according to the criterion for judging the convexity- concavity of corner and separation points pair matching condition, the separation points pair between the interconnection traffic signs is extracted from the detected corners. The separation line between the separation points pair is achieved by adopting Bresenham algorithm, thus the traffic signs are separated by using the line. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of our method. The proposed method overcomes the problem of the traffic signs over- separation and improves the overall detection performance compared with the existing separation algorithm based on watershed transform and the improved adaptive separation algorithm.

    To track and estimate the pose and position of known rigid objects efficiently in complex environment, a method coupled three dimensional (3D) particle filter (PF) framework with M-estimation optimization in a closed loop is proposed. A novel similarity observation model is constructed based on multilevel line representation; line correspondences between 3D model edges and two dimensional (2D) image line segments are received easily based on the tracking state of PF. After that, line correspondences are provided for M-estimation to optimize the pose and position of objects. The optimized particles are fused into the particle filter framework according to the importance sampling theory. Moreover, to speed up the proposed method, line detection and search space is limited in a local region of interest (ROI) predicted by PF. Experiments show that the proposed method can effectively track and accurately estimate the pose of freely moving objects in unconstrained environment. Comparisons on synthetic and real images demonstrate that proposed method greatly outperforms the state-of-art method in accuracy and efficiency.

    An accelerative orthogonal iteration algorithm about the classical and wildly used orthogonal iteration algorithm for camera pose estimation is proposed for real time computation. The key idea is to integrate the steps in each iteration. The repetitive computation in each iteration can be abstracted and done before iteration. The computational complexity of each iteration is reduced from O(n) to O(1). So that, more iteration can be done in short time, and the accuracy is improved as well. The contrastive simulation and real data experiments show the efficiency and accuracy of the accelerative algorithm. Experimentally, the accelerative algorithm with the robust perspective n point (RPnP) initialization has nearly the same accuracy as maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), and is the fastest algorithm when there are few control points.

Electronic structure calculation indicates that band structure near the gap becomes complex, and bandgap becomes narrow obviously. The total density of state changes, and the density of states for Y-4d and Ce-4f are mainly contributing to the Fermi energy level. Optical properties calculation indicates that the static dielectric constant increases, the peak of the imaginary part of dielectric function ε2 decreases and moves to a lower energy, the refractive index n0 increases significantly and the peak of k decreases. These results offer theoretical data for experimental study β-FeSi2 doped with rare earth modification.

    The chemical composition of ancient white porcelain in Beijing Longquanwu kiln in 4 different historical periods of early Liao Dynasty, middle Liao Dynasty, later Liao Dynasty and Jin Dynasty are analyzed by micro-X-ray fluorescence focused by polycapillary optics. The experimental data are carried out by factor analysis. The results show that ancient white porcelain in different historical periods in Beijing Longquanwu kiln can be divided into two sorts according to their chemical compositions. The one center of ancient white porcelain is that of early Liao Dynasty, and the other is that of middle Liao Dynasty. The chemical composition of ancient white porcelain in later Liao Dynasty and Jin Dynasty are similar to that of early Liao and middle Liao, respectively. There is no significant difference of chemical composition of ancient white porcelain between the ancient fine white porcelain and ancient coarse white porcelain. The experimental result does not support the hypothesis that Beijing Longquanwu kiln is GUAN kiln in history. Moreover, the high content of minor element Sr is the characteristic of chemical composition of ancient white porcelain in Beijing Longquanwu kiln.

    The geometrical structure, stability, vibrant frequency and optical spectrum of Mgn(2≤n≤15) clusters are studied by the B3LYP method of the density functional theory (DFT) at 3-21g and lanl2dz levels to search for the stable structures and the magic clusters. The spectroscopic properties of the structures are investigated in detail. The results indicate that the consequences computed by the two sets at ground state are identical to a great degree and the slight difference is discovered only in second-order energy difference (D2E). In addition, the bond length of Mgn clusters calculated at lanl2dz level is longer than that at 3- 21g level. The clusters including Mg4, Mg10, and Mg15 are more stable than others, and Mg4 and Mg10 are the magic clusters. All of the clusters do not only have infrared activity but also have Raman activity except Mg2 cluster. Through the optical spectrum analysis of Mg4, Mg5, Mg7, Mg9, Mg10, Mg15 clusters, it is found that the Mg10 cluster has the most infrared spectral peaks and the Mg15 cluster has the most intensive spectral peaks.

    In order to achieve high imaging requirement of projection lithography lens, the impact of polarization effects induced by coatings need to be considered and analyzed during the design process.Polarization aberration theory based on the Jones matrix is first described, then the polarization aberration of a numerical aperture (NA) of 0.75 projection lithography lens with corresponding coating is analyzed as an example. The large power and spherical aberrations induced by the coating are compensated with space and focus optimization. The scalar aberration and point spread function distortion are improved from 68.92 nm and 3.76 nm to 1.08 nm and 0.38 nm, respectively. The contrast of 90 nm dense line also increases from 0.082 to 0.876. Based on this, a method to reduce polarization aberration introduced by coating is represented, such as retardation and diattenuation. Combined films are used to control the magnitude and phase separation of the P and S component simultaneously. With this method, the contrast of the 90nm dense line is improved by 1.1%.

    In order to enhance the imaging quality of the staring conformal optical system, a static correction method which combines the optimized inner surface of the conformal dome and fixed correctors with Zernike Fringe Sag surfaces is proposed. On the base of the relationship between the parameters of dome and the shift in the direction of a ray as it passes through a conformal dome, the parameters of the inner surface of the dome are projected, which reduce some aberrations of the conformal optical system. Then, the correspondence between the Zernike Fringe polynomial terms and aberrations is used to build the fixed corrector with Zernike Fringe surfaces. Based on this method, a staring conformal optical system is designed, whose F is 1, focal length is 30 mm, the field of view is ± 35° . The characters of the aberrations are analyzed before and after correction. The result shows that this method has a good effect on correcting the main aberrations, and the modulation transfer function (MTF) of optical system is higher than 0.748 at the spatial frequency of 17 lp/mm across the entire field of view.

    The diffractive optical element (DOE) is widely used to generate various illumination pupils in the deep ultraviolet (DUV) projection lithography system. According to the specifications of DUV lithography machines, the designed DOE should possess high diffraction efficiency and high uniformity. Traditional algorithms such as Gerchberg- Saxton (GS) algorithm (GSA) and modified GSA get high diffraction efficiency with low non-uniformity. Global searching methods such as gene algorithm and simulated annealing algorithm need huge computing effort to receive high diffraction efficiency and high uniformity. To address these issues, a mixed gradient algorithm based on GSA is proposed. It can accelerate the rate of convergence and improve the signal to noise ratio simultaneously, and the phase retrieval image is improved. The DOEs generating conventional, quadrupole and customized illumination modes are designed and analyzed based on the proposed method, then the phase is quantized with 16 levels. The diffraction efficiency will reach 92%, and the non- uniformities of the proposed algorithm can reach 3.98% and 2.3% for the conventional and quadrupole illumination modes, respectively. The received efficiency for customized DOE is 91% , and its pattern recovery error is 5.8%. It provides a practical method of DOE design in projection lithography system.

    On the operation of high-speed flight, a large amount of heat is produced due to the friction between the optical window glass and the atmosphere, by which the optical window glass deforms. Then, as light pass though the deformed window, problems as bending and difference of optical path are presented, which affect the optical system imaging of aerial remote sensor. In order to restrain the influence, the structure of the double optical window is investigated, and the optical performance of the monolayer and double optical window is analyzed. According to the window structure, methods determining the thickness of circular and rectangular window are provided on the outside working environment as well as the influence of different window installation of thickness. The deformation of optical window on the influence of pressure and temperature is analyzed, and thermal deformation analysis of the double window is also investigated combined with the flight condition. The optical property of double window is verified and compared with the equivalent thickness of the monolayer window. Analysis results show that under the condition of airborne remote sensing device speed, the radial temperature difference and axial temperature difference of double window glass are smaller than those of the monolayer window with the same thickness. For the studied optical system, the coke quantity of double optical window glass caused by hot deformation is smaller and the effect to the modulation transfer function (MTF) of optical system is weaker. The influence of the spatial frequency ranging from 0 to 65 cycle/mm is no less than 0.3 and the relative decline of MTF is no more than 10% with spatial frequency 65 cycle/mm. The optical system of the double optical window can satisfy the use requirement in the case of without focusing. The analysis study of double optical window can be referenced in the domain of designing the optical window of aerial remote sensor.

    In order to study the influence of nonlinearity and superposition on quantum state, by applying theoretical analysis and numerical computation, a new quantum state, namely nonlinear circular state, is studied. The nonclassical properties of the state are analyzed such as average photon number distribution, sub-Possion distribution and squeezing effect, and its Wingner function is calculated. Through numerical analysis, the results show that with the increase of the Lamb- Dicke parameter and superposition number of quantum states, the average photon number of nonlinear circular state is increased and the sub- Poisson distribution and squeezing effect of the state are both weakened. The nonclassical properties of the state are very sensitive to nonlinear effects which are characterized by the Lamb- Dicke parameter and superposition number of quantum states.

    A kind of auto-scanning down-looking synthetic aperture imaging ladar (SAIL) is proposed, which in construction uses two coaxial orthogonally polarized beams in transmitter and polarization interference based self-heterodyning detection in receiver and in principle adopts the wavefront transformation to generate illumination wavefronts with a hyperbolic spatial phase difference. Therefore, the wavefront scanning from the relative movement of target produces automatically the necessary linear phase modulation in the orthogonal direction of travel, and the quadratic phase history in the travel direction as well. The image is reconstructed by virtue of the Fourier transform with the Doppler quadratic compensation in the orthogonal direction of travel and the conjugate quadratic phase matched filtering with the crossed coupling compensation in the travel direction. The system is very simple in structure. Optical modulator isn′ t used. The initial phase synchronization for linear phase modulations doesn′t exist. The time delay of target doesn′t exist, too. And the advantages of the original down-looking SAIL remains such as the availability of big receiving aperture and big optical footprint, and the capability of suppression of phase interferences from atmospheric turbulence and others. The suggested SAIL is of practical potentials to applying for spaceborne and airborne observation or inverse-SAIL radar under every workable distance and speed.

    Based on the polarization charge density and Rayleigh scattering theory, the impact of wind and sand electrostatic field on the optical properties of sand is discussed through numerical calculation and simulation. The results show that in considering the effects of sand electrostatic field, the sand scattering efficiency to electromagnetic waves firstly increases and then decreases with the charge distribution angle increasing, and the absorption efficiency to electromagnetic waves keeps a constant, but its magnitude is much larger than that of not considering the environmental electric field. In addition, the sandstorm attenuation to electromagnetic waves increases with the increase of particle concentration and humidity. Those results illustrate that it is necessary to consider the function of sandstorm electrostatic field in the remote sensing of sandstorm.

    There are many kinds of suspended particles in natural environment, and research on scattering characteristics of particles has extensive application value. The existing theoretical calculation is complex, and it is often based on assuming a homogeneous composition sphere model without the difference of particle’s internal composition structure. Through the analysis of calculation for extinction and absorption efficiency of two- layered homogeneous sphere model, the anomalous diffraction approximation method is extended to multilayered homogeneous particle model. The corresponding error comparison illustrates the usefulness of the method. The scattering properties of two- layered homogeneous particles with different internal and external sphere parameters and offcenter deviations are discussed by taking marine plankton as an example.The simulation results show that except for size and refractive index, particle heterogeneous structure also plays a role on the forward scattering. When the difference between inner and outer sphere parameters is large, it is necessary to consider the influence of structural factors on the scattering properties.

In order to accurately detect the bap concentration, the data from the experiment need remove noise with the filter contained in the experiment, to get the fluorescent signal effectively. The normalized least mean squared adaptive filter principle is applied to the noise spectral data processing, compared with the wavelet denoising effect, with Matlab to simulate out denoising effect, and analysis of the different denoising effect from different perspectives. After the contrast, using the minimum normalized adaptive filter can keep the non- stationary signal feature, and achieve more ideal denoising effect and better denoising performance. Hence, this method is suitable for the signal processing of fluorescence detection matter concentration.

    The optimum approach to determine junction temperature of GaN blue light emitting diode (LED) with spectral bandwidth is studied. The normalized spectral power distribution and junction temperature of ten GaN blue LEDs is measured at different drive current and heat sink temperature. The formulae for calculating junction temperature with Dln are obtained from the least-square fitting. Difference between the values by the established method and the forward voltage method is analyzed. The optimum n, which yields the least error, is obtained. It is shown that the spectral bandwidth Dln with different n can be used to determine junction temperature, and the error initially decreases with the decreasing n, and then increases. The optimum n depends on the accuracy of spectrometer, it is 0.2 or 0.3 when Hass2000 spectrometer is used. This research is very important to improve the measurement accuracy of GaN-type LED junction temperature.
