When laser beams propagate through atmospheric turbulence, the beam spreading depends on two mechanisms, i.e., free-space diffraction and atmospheric turbulence. The influence of turbulence on the beam spreading relates with diffraction. The regions spreading of partially coherent Hermite-Gaussian (H-G) beams propagating through non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence are studied in detail. The propagation distance is divided into three regions, in which the beam spreading is dominated by free-space diffraction, free-space diffraction and atmospheric turbulence, and atmospheric turbulence, respectively. The influence of beam parameters and turbulence parameters on the three regions is studied, and the relation between the first region and the Rayleigh region is also examined. In addition, the physical explanations of the main results obtained are given.

    Optical systems like telescopes are constantly affected by atmospheric turbulence and internal aberration disturbance. Conventional adaptive optics systems (AOS) are proved to be an effective way to eliminate external aberrations caused by atmospheric turbulence, however, when internal aberrations with high amplitude emerge, the problem becomes complicated. The double overlap AOS structure presented exploits an independent inner channel AOS to correct internal aberration disturbance, and an outer channel AOS mainly external to atmospheric turbulence. Furthermore, the correction abilities of this structure and conventional AOS are analyzed and compared. In addition, their correction performances under the situation where two aforementioned type aberrations simultaneously exist are numerically simulated. Results show that reasonably designed operating conditions of double overlap AOS make the performance better than conventional AOS, especially when internal aberrations become relatively stronger.

    How to effectively correct ocular aberrations which vary fast from person to person and improve the application scope of adaptive optics retinal imaging system is the biggest problem in clinical application. It is difficult for a single corrector to compensate both low order and high order ocular aberrations simultaneously. Due to the correction requirements of high order aberrations, a 169-element discrete piezoelectric deformable mirror with 3 millimeters spacing is successfully developed. Combined with a large stroke bimorph mirror, a retinal imaging system with two deformable mirrors is developed. The system can compensate low order aberrations up to ±4.5 diopters of defocus and ±3 diopters of cylindrical. High order Zernike aberrations up to the 8th order can also be corrected by this system. Both imaging quality and application scope are significantly improved. Taking the size of low order aberrations as inclusion criteria, a little sample is tested by the human retinal imaging experiment, and near diffraction-limited retinal images are achieved. The system has a clear application scope, which is convenient for future clinical application.

    Based on the two-equation k-ε turbulence model and four typical astronomical enclosures for the 2.5 m optical telescope, the numerical wind tunnel simulation is conducted by the computational fluid dynamics software Fluent. With the environment of different wind directions and same wind velocity, the distributions of the wind velocity and turbulence kinetic energy around the telescopes and the effects on astronomical observation when the enclosures are opened and pressure distributions on the enclosures when the enclosures are closed are obtained. The results show that when the enclosures are opened, the classical and calotte enclosures with better closure property have significant effects to prevent the telescopes from high-speed wind of different directions and cause low turbulence kinetic energy but high seeing around the telescopes, while the columnar and foldable enclosures with better openness make the wind velocity around the telescopes and the turbulence kinetic energy along the observation directions both much higher, but the seeing are both much lower. When the enclosures are closed, the surface pressure on the four enclosures all change from positive maximum to negative maximum and then approach zero along the wind direction. According to the analytical results, some applicable conditions and unfavorable factors of different astronomical enclosures are proposed, which provide a reference for the structural design of astronomical enclosures under different weather conditions in the future.

    Taking hypersonic waverider for example, the infrared detectability of hypersonic object in rarefied atmosphere space is researched. Heat flux distribution of the stagnation point as well as radiation-equilibrium temperature is calculated under different flying conditions with engineering algorithms; then atmospheric transmittance is calculated by summation over small intervals. After considering both effects of radiation difference between object and background, and dispersion on detector′ s operating range, a new model for calculation operating range of infrared detedion system is built. By simulation, dispersion coefficient has varied with distance between object and detector; meanwhile, the higher the velocity of object is, the further the operating range is. When compared with long-wave spectrum, detector working at short-medium spectrum has better operating range. By field test, proposed algorithm has high accuracy when compared with existing models.

    In order to solve the problems of the optimal domains sequence choice without considering, overhigh resources occupied ratio and the unappeasable requirements of real- time quality of service (QoS), which cannot be settled by the conventional multipoint to multipoint (MP2MP) routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) algorithms in multi- domain optical networks, a kind of multi- core node shared tree RWA heuristic algorithm (MSTDC) is proposed. The calculation can be parallelized. The delay and minimal cost can be constrained for multi- domain optical networks. The multi- domain problem is transformed into single domain by the algorithm from constructing a virtual topology. So it can realize the accurate calculation of number and the hosted domains of the mininlized cores. The source and destination nodes are added in different shared trees with delay constrained algorithms according to specific QoS selection strategy, respectively. The performance of the algorithm is demonstrated in a multi- domain optical networks topology with fifty routing nodes uniformly distributed in nine domains, and the simulation results show that the wavelength occupied ratio descends 51.1%, the success ratio of the route ascends 24.8% and running time of the algorithm descends 64.6%.

    A curvature sensor is proposed base on tapered photonic crystal fiber(TPCF) Mach-Zehnder interferometer. A section of PCF is tapered after splicing both end of it with single-mode fiber(SMF), then a SMF-TPCF-SMF structure with 20 mm length is fabricated. By controlling the arc discharge parameters, the air holes of the PCF near the splicing area are collapsed completely. So it can motivate the cladding modes better. Moreover, the splicing and tapering length of PCF are determined to make the sensor produce high curvature sensitivity. The experimental results show that the transmission spectrum of sensor appears blue shift obviously with the curvature increasing, and the shift of the peaks near 1590 nm is -6.06 nm. The curvature sensitivity of this sensor is -5.39297 nm/m-1 in the range of 0~1.16 m-1 curvature, and this sensor also has good linearity. This curvature sensor has the advantages of simple structure, easy manufacturing, high sensitivity and immune to the temperature cross-sensitivity compared to other sensors, so it can be used for measuring curvature in bridges, buildings, roads and so on.

    A novel all-fiber sensing configuration for decoupling measurement of temperature and strain based on the twin core fiber (TCF) with an in-line embedded fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed. A series of TCF filters with different lengths are fabricated experimentally, and the relationship between the free spectral range (FSR) and the fiber length of these filters is measured and analyzed, which are in agreement with the theory. It is found during the experiment that the TCF and FBG have different spectral responses for the changing strain and temperature. Optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) is used to monitor the wavelength at the bottom of the TCF transmitted spectrum and the wavelength drift of the fiber grating transmitted spectrum. The sensor tested has favorable repeatability for the responses of strain and temperature, and has a lower wavelength error compared with the spectrometer used in experiment. Withing a spectrometer having a wavelength distinguishability of 0.01 nm, the proposed all-fiber sensor can reach a distinguishability of 4.3048 με for stress and 0.4562 °C for temperature.

    A comprehensive analysis has been made for straightness errors of feeding guide of grating ruling machine, and some mathematical expressions have been deduced among the straightness errors, the diffraction wave- front and the intensity of stray light, and the distance from the measurement axis of interferometer to the beginning of lines has been defined as position arm. Some following conclusions have been made. Position arm can magnify the straightness errors of dividing guide. The diffraction wave-front and the intensity of straight light are mainly affected by the position arm and the straightness errors of feeding guide. If the position arm is 50 mm, the horizontal straightness errors must be less than 0.15″. However, if the position arm is 10 mm, the horizontal straightness errors must be less than 0.74″ . Compared with the straightness in the vertical direction, the requirement of the grating- ruling machine for the horizontal straightness of dividing guide is higher. The value of theoretical calculation coincides with the experimental results.

    The relationship of bidirectional propagation time deviation of optical fiber link with the temperature, bidirectional time interval, wavelength difference, and fiber length is derived. The influence of temperature on the precision of bidirectional fiber- optic time transfer based on time division multiplexing (TDM) is analyzed theoretically. The results show that the stability of time deviation of bidirectional TDM fiber link is degraded with the increase of the amplitude of temperature change, bidirectional time interval, and fiber length. For typical ambient temperature change, the stability of time deviation of 3000 km TDM fiber link can be less than 1 ps/d when the bidirectional time interval is less than 100 ms. When temperature change and fiber length are same, the stability of time deviation of bidirectional TDM fiber link with a time interval of less than 100 ms is always less than that of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) fiber link with a wavelength spacing of larger than 0.1 nm. Bidirectional TDM time transfer experiments are carried out in laboratory on different lengths of fiber. The results show that the fluctuation of average asymmetry of TDM time transfer system is less than 29 ps when the fiber length is changed from 2 m to 100 km, close to the noise floor of the adopted time interval counter. The measured stabilities of bidirectional TDM time transfer over 100 km fiber link are better than 30 ps/s and 20 ps/d, respectively.

    A low comlexity frequency offset estimation algorithm based on amplitude ratio is proposed due to the frequency offset between transmitter laser and local oscillator (LO) laser in coherent optical M- ary quadrature amplitude modulation (M-QAM) systems. The proposed algorithm utilizes the relationship between the maximum amplitude and the second largest amplitude of the signal spectrum to estimate the frequency offset accurately, which reduces the computational complexity greatly. A coherent optical 20-Gbaud 16-QAM transmission system with single polarization is simulated to investigate the performance of the proposed estimator with respect to gradient descent(GD) and chirp Z- transform(CZT).The simulation results show that the performance of proposed algorithm does not fluctuate with the distribution of signal frequency and can achieve the very close performance to CZT and GD with three iterations. However, the computational complexity is reduced by over 75% in comparision with algorithms based on CZT and GD with three iterations.

    Aiming at solving the problem of signal injury caused by multi- retransmission in distributed satellite optical network, a wavelength- shift- free regenerative scheme based on cascading semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with two- stage offset filter is presented. Making use of the characteristic of optical pulse after the SOA with different recovery times of carrier can lead to different spectral shifts. The scheme imposes a red- shifted and a blue- shifted filter on signals respectively after two cascading SOAs, which not only gives the two times regeneration for optical pulse, but also compensates the wavelength shift caused by each regeneration. The results show that the amplitude noise and power jitter can be suppressed effectively, and the Q factor of signals can be improved 8 dB at most.

    Due to electronic rolling shutter, high-speed large frame complementary mental oxide semiconductor (CMOS) aerial cameras not only suffer from motion blur, but also lead to geometric distortion caused by rolling shutter effect. The conventional method which deals with these two degraded factors separately is very complicated and has a high computational complexity. To address the problems of linear motion and rolling shutter distortion resulting from aerial forward flight, a close relationship is derived between them through analyzing respective mathematical model. Furthermore, a method is proposed to restore double degraded images based on parameter estimation of linear motion. Then an experiment is designed to simulate aerial forward flight in which a CMOS camera controlled by the linear displacement stage imaging at different speed. Experiment results indicate that rolling shutter effect has no influence on the parameter estimation of linear motion. And the Interframe Transform Fidelity of restored images can be improved to about 27 dB. The calculation speed is 3.5 times faster than restoring step by step when obtaining the same good results.

Because of obstacles, conventional imaging methods in many cases are not get the ideal image of the target object. But in correlation imaging, by setting an appropriate angle, the image is got without the camera lens lying in front of the target object with the diffusing on the obstacles.

Also, DMD may also be used to implement the correlation imaging with ordinary light source, such as light emitting diode. It has broad prospects in engineering projects.

OCT can image the internal microstructure underneath the surface. Archaeological objects are valuable and thus require nondestructive testing techniques. OCT, as a non-destructive analysis technique, is suitable for testing any part of the mural and other cultural relics.

    Refractive index is an important parameter who indicates the material information. In chemistry, biology, medicine and other fields, the samples are usually made of low concentration solutions for chemical or physical reactions, from which various properties and parameters of the samples are determinated by detecting small changes of the refractive index of the solutions. So that, a kind of laser measurement method for liquid refractive index is presented based on surface plasmon resonance (SPR) and phase detection. The theoretical analyses indicate that the phase difference change between p and s polarization components of the reflected light is almost linear with the fluctuation of the refractive index at the range of 1.333~1.336. Thus the measurement equation is derived. Corresponding refractive index measurement system is built based on a heterodyne interference optical path using a dual-frequency laser. The system has strong anti-interference ability because of the common light path and high precision because of using phase measurement. The experimental results of measuring glycerine solution refractive index are consistent with the theoretical analysis, and agree with the results of another method, where the error between each other is less than 2.0×10-5. The method can be widely applied in the fields of biological detection, chemical analysis, medical diagnosis, pollution research and so on.

    In order to realize the high precision measurement of encoder accuracy, the principle and method to measure encoder accuracy by using polyhedron and autocollimator are introduced. The polyhedron coordinate system and autocollimator measurement coordinate system are established, and the precise mathematical model is established, which is relation with the measurement error of the encoder accuracy and pyramidal error. The simulation results show that the encoder shaft tilt angle and tilt direction will affect the measurement results of the encoder accuracy. Measurement error of encoder accuracy increases with encoder shaft tilt angle, and approximately proportional to the square. Measurement error of encoder accuracy changes with encoder shaft tilt direction. When encoder shaft tilt direction is 0°or 180°, measurement error is the smallest; When encoder shaft tilt direction is 90°or 270°, measurement error is the maximum. As encoder shaft tilt angle is 5′, the measurement errors can reach 0.11"~0.48", which cannot be ignored for encoder with 1~3 levels of precision grade. Pyramidal error should be cotrolled in the appropriate range based on the precision grade of measured encoder. Specific requirements on pyramidal error are given for encoders with different precision grades.

    A zero phase difference jumping compensation processing method for heterodyne interferometric signal processing based on pulse counting is proposed, which can guarantee the correction integration of measured integer and fraction phase. The integer phase measurement is realized by counting pulse numbers of two interference signals and synchronously subtracting. The fraction phase measurement is realized by frequency mixing and frequency reduction to improve the measurement resolution. A dynamic base signal is generated by tracking the reference interference signal with phase-locked loop and the signal is used for frequency mixing to solve the problem of frequency changing of heterodyne interference signals. This method can improve the resolution stability of fraction phase measurement. The verification experiments are done with a function generator,including phase measurement precision, integer counting and fraction phase measurement.

    In order to eliminate directional ambiguity and to reduce standard uncertainty in velocity measurement, a novel spatial filtering velocimeter based on a spatiotemporal filter is established. The spatiotemporal filter is structured by a high speed complementary metal oxide semiconductors (CMOS) linear image sensor. The spatial filtering characteristic of the filter is analyzed theoretically. The power spectrum of the output signal is obtained by fast Fourier transform (FFT), and is corrected by a frequency spectrum correction algorithm, named energy centrobaric correction. Therefore, the standard uncertainty of frequency measurement is reduced. This novel velocimeter is used to measure the moving velocity of a conveyor belt. The experiment verifies the feasibility of the spatiotemporal filter for directional discrimination. Furthermore, the relative standard uncertainty of velocity measurement is analyzed experimentally. Experimental results of the presented spatial filtering velocimeter using spatiotemporal filter show that the relative standard uncertainty of velocity measurement is much reduced compared with that of frequency measurement. The reduced relative standard uncertainty of velocity measurement is below 0.24% , which can be further reduced by adjusting the parameters of the spatiotemporal filter.

    Optical filter based on microring resonator usually has drawbacks such as narrow bandwidth and larger radius of curvature. An ultra-compact optical filter consisting of rectangular ring resonator incorporated with two Mach-Zehnder interferometers is proposed and optimized, and the device is formed by trench-based nanophotonic frustrated total internal reflection couplers and total internal reflection mirror-based 90o bends waveguide. The performances such as transfer function, quality factor, and transmission characteristic are analyzed by using statespace representation and finite difference time domain (FDTD) methods. The dependence of filtering features on both different coupling coefficients and loss coefficients is calculated with state-space representation method. The FDTD simulation results show the device exhibits an asymmetric wavelength interleaver filtering effect with the different ratios of pass-band and stop-band bandwidths when the coupler reflection coefficient is close to the coupler transmission coefficient. The quality factor of about 3120 and the free spectral range up to 50.6 nm are observed in such small 25 μm ×8 μm chip area when the coupler reflection coefficient is far larger than the coupler transmission coefficient. The compact configuration of device layout is beneficial to the extension at two-dimensional directions for highly dense photonic integrated circuits.

    The thermal distortion of the deformable mirror (DM) arised from the high-power continuous laser beam brings about the phase distortion and further degrades the beam quality. The model for the DM is built up using the finite element analysis software ANSYS. The characteristics of the thermal distortion of the DM and the reflective mirror are analyzed and compared. The influence of structural parameters of the DM on the incident light phase are also discussed. The results indicate that, the thermal distortion of the DM is more obvious compared with the high reflective mirror. The high frequency phase distortion introduced by thermal distortion increases with the decreasing of the spacing of heads. The length of heads exhibits a significant influence on the high frequency components and the high frequency phase distortion increases with the decreasing of the length of heads. As a result, high frequency phase distortion introduced by the thermal distortion can be diminished through increasing the length of heads appropriately. The proportion of the high frequency phase distortion decreases with the increasing of the diameter of heads, leading to the decreasing of correction capability. Consequently, the diameter of heads should be considered comprehensively in the practical application. The results obtained can provide valuable reference for the parameter optimization of the DM.

In the proposed method, multi-view reconstruction is implemented from perspective of vision method on motion analysis. The reconstruction model is fed-back to the reconstruction process and the model is deformed by utilizing the bias-driven of each view. The coarse and inaccurate original mesh surface is adjusted to the exact surface through a dense non- rigid deformation. Under the compute unified device architecture, the optical flow algorithm is optimized in parallel mode by using the graphic processing unit hardware and real- time performance of the reconstruction algorithm is significantly improved. The experimental results obtained in realistic indoor scenario demonstrate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed algorithm.

    A mobile robot localization method based on the monocular vision is proposed. According to the planar ground assumption, a plane homography-based mobile robot pose estimation model is established with the KLT corner detection and tracking algorithm. Under the framework of random sample consensus algorithm, the initial location of the mobile robot is realized by solving the above model. On this basis, a triangular structure of corner features is adopted for plane parameter estimation. Combined with M-estimation algorithm,the non-planar feature information is excluded efficiently and the location accuracy of mobile robot is improved.The indoor experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed algorithm.

    Registration of point clouds is one of the key technology of optical three-dimensional (3D) profilometry. Registrations without markers are always realized by using iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm. To improve the performance of ICP algorithm, an improved ICP algorithm based on the biunique correspondence of point clouds is proposed. The establishment of biunique point pairs is introduced, and the transformation of coordinates between point clouds are derived. By using a handheld 3D scanner to scan a statue consisting of high-frequency and low-frequency profiles, then 92 frames of point clouds are obtained. Using the proposed improved ICP algorithm, 82 frames of point clouds are successfully registered. Three representative variants of ICP are applied to register these 92 frames for comparison. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has advantages of strong robustness, high convergent speed and high convergent accuracy, which is useful for fast reconstruction of 3D models.

    Lu3Ga5O12∶Tb3+ phosphors is synthesized by the high temperature solid state reaction, and the effects of substitution of Y3+/Gd3+ and Al3+ for Lu3+and Al3+ respectively on the crystal structures and luminescent properties of the phosphors are investigated. Lu3Ga5O12∶Tb3+ shows pure garnet phase, and the excitation spectrum contains two broad bands called A-and B-bands and some lines assigned to the transitions of Tb3+4f8→4f75d1 and 4f8→4f8, respectively. Under ultraviolet (UV) light, the emission spectrum consists of Tb3 + characteristic emission lines corresponding to 5D4→7FJ and 5D3→7FJ transitions. For (Lu, Y)3Ga5O12∶Tb3+system, with the increase of Y3+, the crystal structure remains with a slight lattice expansion, the red-shift of A-and B-bands occurs, the interval between the two bands decreases, and the intensity of excitation and emission enhances. Similar but more obvious changes occurs in (Lu,Gd)3Ga5O12∶Tb3+system in a range of Gd3+ concentration from 0 to 0.75 with respect to Lu3+. The energy transfer of Gd3+→Tb3+ is observed. For Lu3(Ga,Al)5O12∶Tb3+system, with the increase of Al3+, the garnet phase structure remains with a lattice shrinkage, the red- shift of A- and B- bands occurs, the interval between the two bands increases, and the intensity of excitation and emission improves. The difference in ions radii between the cations, and the change of the crystal field environment Tb3 + caused by cations substitution are the main factors of affecting the properties of the phosphors.

    Sm3+-doped Li2BaSiO4∶Sm3+ phosphor is prepared by a solid-state reaction method. Through X-ray diffraction (XRD) data, Li2BaSiO4∶Sm3+ with hexagonal crystal structure is synthesized at 850 ℃, and the diffraction peak of XRD move to the high- angle and the lattice distortion increase as increasing the mass fraction of Sm3+ ions. The Li2BaSiO4∶Sm3+ material has strong absorption at 330~500 nm and can be excited effectively by near ultraviolet and blue light emitting diode (LED) chip. The maximum emission intensity of Sm3+ and the minimum ratio of I650/I607 are attained by doping 1.5% Sm3+ . The results suggest that Sm3+ ions prior to occupy Ba2+ with symmetric lattice in the Li2BaSiO4 materials. The emission peaks located at 518, 563, 607, 650 and 707 nm are presented under the excitation of 402 nm. The spectrum of 518 nm is attributed to defect luminescence in Li2BaSiO4∶Sm3+ , while others are derived from the emission of 4G5/2→6HJ (J=5/2,7/2,9/2,11/2) of Sm3+ . The color coordinate of Li2BaSiO4∶Sm3+ sites in yellow range due to defect emission, and the formation mechanism for defect luminescence is discussed.

    In order to reveal the influence of annealing temperature on the photoelectric characteristic of PbSe quantum dots doped glass produced by a melt-annealing technique, experiments are carried out to compare the influence of different nucleation time and crystallization temperature. The transmission electron microscope images show that a certain amount of PbSe crystals are crystallized in the glass. While the degrees of crystallization, particle size and density have some slightly difference. A procedure combined the Mie scatter theory and the Kramers-Krnig relation is used to calculate the real and imaginary parts of the dielectric function from the experimental absorption spectrum. The calculation results indicate that the annealing temperature has obvious influence on the absorption coefficient and the refractive index. So the suitable annealing temperature and duration are the important factors in the preparation process of quantum dots doped glass with excellent photoelectric properties.

    PbSe quantum dots (QDs) in the sodium- aluminum- borosilicate silicate glass are successfully prepared by using a melting method of two- step heat treatment. The size of obtained QDs distributes within 3.63~4.33 nm and with the doped volume ratio of 2% in the glass. The optimal heat treatment temperature is determined by using a differential thermal analysis. The crystallization, particle size and distribution of the QDs in the glass are observed by X- ray diffractometer and transmission electron microscopy. The absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the QDs are also measured by ultraviolet (UV)-visible-near infrared (NIR) spectrophotometer and fluorescence spectrometer, respectively. There is evidence to show that only when the first heat-treatment time is between 3~5 h and the temperature is 500 °C, the glass has PL emission, ranging in 1220~1279 nm and with full width at half maximum (FWHM) of 200 nm. For the second heat treatment, the optimal time and temperature are 10 h and 540 °C, respectively. An empirical formula is given for the PbSe QD size depending on the first heat treatment time. The method of PbSe QD doped glass can help to form QD doped fiber devices with high gain in the future.

    Owing to the rapid development of capacitor for terahertz (1 THz=1012 Hz) electronics, the THz dielectric properties of different granular CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) ceramics are investigated experimentally. It is found that the dielectric constant ε r of CCTO of small particles (Φ<2 μm) is below 700, while exceeds 2000 for larger granular (Φ >10 μm) CCTO in the frequency range below 1 MHz. Correspondingly, the dielectric loss of CCTO is from 0.1 to 0.6. In THz frequency range, however, different granular CCTO ceramics exhibts the same value of εr ( εr =72±3). The ionic polarizability dominates εr , so that it is insensitive to the grain-size of CCTO. However, the larger grain- size increases the scattering cross- section, which enlargers the total extinction ratio of transmission so as to increase the dielectric loss in THz frequency range. It is found that the small granular CCTO is a potential dielectric materials for the application of THz capacitors.

A 640 pixel × 480 pixel CCD camera is used to capture interference signals with imaging depth of 80 μm. A single chip-based control system is developed to modulate phase between both arms with the intention of higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and faster acquisition speed, en face and 3D images of onion cells are presented, acquisition time is reduced from 60 s to 4 s per en face image and the SNR is improved from 18.36 dB to 23.30 dB compared with the system without it. The spherical aberration introduced by high-numerical aperture objectives and refractive index mismatch is considered theoretically and a compensation method is proposed. After compensating the spherical aberration experimentally, more details are shown in the en face images of onion cells (SNR is improved from 25.41 dB to 29.54 dB). Cell-level in vivo images of human finger skin are also presented. The imaging of liver tissue is performed, which demonstrates the potential value of FF-OCT in the early diagnosis of cancer. The apparatus proposed and developed will be helpful for the design of the practical device as a fast diagnostic means instead of the traditional frozen-section method.

    An universal perturbed icosahedral projection packing method is presented to solve spherical surface packing problem. First of all, original packing positions is obtained by using icosahedral points projection on its concentric spherical surface. Then, using chord ratio and packing density as merit values, perturbed points moving strategy is used to optimize these initial positions. Finally, universal property of this method is tested by changing the number of packing points. In addition, this method is compared with another packing method, so called hexagonal density packing along longitude and latitude, which is based on local strategy. The result shows that this method is rather effective when the packing solid angle is large and the number of packing lenses is huge, the chord ratio can be reduced below 0.17, and the packing density can be increased above 75%, accompanied with outstanding symmetry, an excellent imaging performance is guaranteed.

    The photonic crystal structure containing surface defect with porous silicon is proposed, in which the defect cavity on the surface is established by introducing the porous silicon layer and the absorbing medium layer, and the sensing region of the sample detected is formed by the use of the efficient carrying mechanism of the porous silicon. Because of the absorption of ZnS, the light corresponding to the resonant wavelength is absorbed and the defect peak is obtained in the reflection spectrum. The back propagation neural network is adopted to optimize the thickness of porous silicon globally. The relationship model between the concentration of the sample detected and the defect peak wavelength is established according to the Goos-Hanchen shift and the sensing performance is analyzed. The simulation results show that the reflectivity of the defect peak decreases from 31.23% to 0.00129% and the Q value can attain to 1537.37 after the optimal design of structural parameter. The sensitivity of the sensor structure is about 2.5 nm at per 1% mass fraction, which can provide effective theory guidance for the detection of the concentration and composition of samples.

    We propose a method named as full control of light to generate arbitrary vector beams by modulating all the parameters of the spatial distributions of an optical field. Two reflective phase-only liquid crystal spatial light modulators can be used to modulate all the parameters of light including the phase, amplitude and polarization (polarized rotation and ellipticity). Theoretically, we provide the Jones matrix of full control of light. Then the grayscale that is loaded on the spatial light modulator can be calculated according to the designed vectorial optical field. Experimentally, different vector beams containing amplitude and/or polarization modulations are successfully generated and tested using polarization measurement to verify the feasibility of this method of full control of light.

    In view of the imaging mechanism differences between the laser point cloud and image data, as well as existing registration primitives accessibility features, the registration based on features is the mainstream algorithm to refine the transformation of the two data sets. The corner points and edges of buildings are frequently used as characteristics. In order to deal with the weakness of building edge detection and reduce matching- related computation, a new automatic registration method based on airborne LiDAR data and high-resolution aerial image of the road information is proposed. Vector road centerlines are extracted from raw LiDAR data and projected onto related aerial images with the use of coarse exterior orientation parameters (EOPs). The corresponding image road features of each LiDAR vector road are determined with the improved total rectangle matching approach. The endpoints of the conjugate road features obtained from the LiDAR data and aerial images are used as ground control points in space resection adjustment to refine the EOPs. Experimental results show that this method characterized by the road features can not only extract fewer features, but also improve the efficiency of data processing in autoregistration of aerial imagery with airborne LiDAR data.

    A novel imaging dynamic light scattering method for nano-particle sizing which greatly reduces the data processing time is proposed. In this method the scattered signal of particles is recorded as images. Two images of spacial distribution of the scattered light signal are taken in a very short time interval, and the correlation coefficient of the two images is calculated, and then the particle size can be determined by the particle size- correlation coefficient curve at the corresponding delay time. Compared to the traditional dynamic light scattering method, the measure time is shortened from hundreds of seconds to microseconds, and the data processing time is shortened to the milliseconds. Three different latex nano-particles (79、482 and 948 nm) are measured in the experiments of nano-particles, and the measurement error is less than 7%, which illustrates that the real-time online measurement and data-processing can be truly realized.

    Research of the scattering of electromagnetic waves by charged particles is significant for the thorough understanding of electromagnetic field and the detection of the clouds and lightning warning. According to the theory of the Mie scattering of the charged particles and the characteristics of the Rayleigh scattering, the simplified scattering coefficient is derived, that is related to the surface conductivity and the electromagnetic impedance in vacuum. The results calculated by both Mie and Rayleigh formula for particles with a small size parameter are concordant. The charges carried on the surface of the particles increase the surface conductivity. When the surface conductivity reaches magnitude of millisiemens, it will have obvious effects. As the surface conductivity increases, the scattering efficiency will have bigger change. When the conductivity reaches a certain value, the ratio of scattering efficiency of the charged and neutral particles with a small size parameter tends to be stable. For the charged droplet, the ratio will tend to be twenty four which is related to the dielectric constant of the particles.

    Effect of annealing on the properties of time-resolved spectra of photoluminescence (PL) and the decay in PL intensity of black silicon processed by femtosecond laser pulses in air is studied. The motion of photon-generated carriers and the property of defects in black silicon after annealing have been analyzed. By fitting the PL decay profile with double exponential function, the probable mechanism of spectral change of black silicon due to annealing is given. The increase in PL intensity of black silicon after annealing is the result of the increased oxygen defects resulting from the radiative recombination rate of nonequilibrium carriers. A theory of thermal diffusion is put forward to explain the observation that the PL intensity of black silicon increases with the annealing temperature. The increasing time constants and the ratio of the slow decay process are attributed to the fact that some defects on the microstructured surface and within silicon material have been eliminated and restored by annealing that leads to the increasing of the surface bound state, thus reducing the density of nonradiative recombination centers. The ratio of radiative recombination increases, resulting in the increase in PL intensity of annealed black silicon. The best annealing condition for the PL of black silicon found is annealing at 800 ℃ for 30 min in vacuum.
