Based on optical properties of aerosols and clouds (OPAC) and ground- based measurements,four typical haze components included water soluble (WASO),soot (BC),dust (DUST) and sub- micron (SubM)components.By Mie theory,their extinction,scattering phase function,polarized phase function are calculated,and for water soluble particle,these parameters are calculated in different relative humidities(RHs).Then,multi- angle intensity and polarized signals,which are received by the satellite,are simulated for these haze components by RT3 (radiative transfer 3).The results show that scalar signal intensities of WASO and SubM are larger than others in most satelite observation angles,while polarized signal intensities of BC and WASO are obviously larger than the others.As the increasing of RH,the extinction of WASO will increase while scattering and polarized phase function will decrease entirely,and the main reason is the hygroscopic growth of particle radius.So,for remote sensing inversion of haze,multi-angle polarized measurements will be assisted by multi-angle intensity measurements.

    The fundamental working theory of the Doppler wind lidar (DWL) based on Fabry-Perot (F-P) etalon is introduced.The typical detection data of DWL system is provided.The factors depressing DWL wind detection accuracy are analyzed,including background light intensity,operation state of detector,the locking state of laser frequency,the environment of seed laser,deformation of the receiver caused by sudden changes of the workplace temperature,and so on.Strong background light will cause the system signal-to-noise ratio decreases rapidly.Saturated detectors will be in nonlinear working state and generate invalid data.The lose lock on laser will cause wind profile to move parallel,the instability of seed laser environment temperature will cause the laser jump phenomenon.After overcoming the factors one by one,the wind speed variation of DWL with balloons is within 1.4 m/s,wind direction deviation is within 2.2°.

    In order to simplify the atmospheric refraction correction process and improve the independent attitude measurement capability of star sensor,a new atmospheric refraction correction method based on reference quantity correction is proposed.The proposed method is simple in star apparent zenith distance calculation and it does not require the information of carrier attitude.The refraction correction doesn′ t need to solve the dual nonlinear equations,it only needs simple addition.Simulation and experimental results show that the results of attitude estimation using the reference quantity refraction correction method and are consistent with those of the observed quantity refraction correction method,and the relative error between them is within 0.1 arc seconds.For star sensor attitude measuring application,the proposed refraction correction method does not need external posture information.It is simple and has no loss of attitude measuring precision.

    The propagation characteristics of spectral degrees of cross-polarization (SDCP) of quasi-homogenous(QH) beams are studied based on the unified theory of coherence polarization and generalized Huygens-Fresnel principle.The characteristics of SDCP changing with propagation distance of different points in the field are obtained.The results show that the quasi- homogenous sources which have same changes of the degree of polarization(DOP)of each position point may have different changes of SDCP between two spatial points.They may increase or decrease with propagation distance increases depend on the distance of two position points due to the perturbations of turbulence,it will have the same value in a special distance,and then will deviate from each other when propagation distance increases continuously.The degree of coherence and the correlation of intensity fluctuations have different characteristics of variations.The results obtained reveal close relationship between high order statistic properties of optical beam field.The physical significance of SDCP will be the foundation of applications like correlation imaging and polarization communications in free space or atmosphere.

    By increasing the sample scattering layer thickness of laser guide star,the detection energy of wavefront sensor is enhanced but makes the detection spot diffused.To solve this problem,a dynamic focus system is designed.Influence of the sample thickness on the wave-front detection energy is analyzed and result shows that the wave-front detection energy increases nonlinearly with the sample thickness.When the sample thickness is 4 km with the laser pulse energy of 10 mJ,the number of received photons is 120 per sub-aperture of telescope,which meets the detection requirements.Then effect of diffusion spot on wave-front detection accuracy is analyzed,the result shows that the wave-front measurement error is about 0.5 λ when the sample thickness is 4 km,which leads accurate detection unfeasible.In order to achieve accurate detection,dynamic focus system is designed based on the analysis results,moving distance of the focusing mirror is reduced from 111 mm to 100 μm,and moving speed from 4200 m/s to 3.8 m/s,which meet the application requirements.Zemax softwave optimized results show that the optical system can achieve the ideal imaging for 4km sample thickness range.

    An airborne two-wavelength polarization Mie lidar is designed for detecting three-dimensional (3-D) distributions of atmospheric aerosols at Jing-Jin-Ji area. One typical field campaign is described. The flight path is perpendicular to the airstreams, which makes it ideal for observation of aerosol 3-D structure on the flight path. The observation result of the aerosol distribution during the flight shows that regional three- dimensional air pollution has formed around Jing-Jin-Ji area, due to densely pollutant source and air-flow diffusion. The diffusion process of the aerosol emission from one typical heavy pollution source is given using the aerosol distribution data around it. The preliminary result shows that this airborne lidar provides a unique airborne remote sensing platform for monitoring the aerosol distribution over a wide region.

    Suspended particle size is an important marine optical parameter. In Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, suspended particle size plays an important role in marine biogeochemical processes and ocean color remote sensing, since a large quantity of sediments dominate water composition in this study area. Using 47 in situ samples collected in May and November 2014, based on Geostationary Ocean Color Imager (GOCI) band, a novel inversion model is developed to estimate the median diameter (D50) of suspended particle sizes, by means of remote sensing reflectance (Rrs). The obtained results indicate that a power model by Rrs(555 nm) performs best, coefficient of determination R2 is 0.72, mean absolute percentage error SMAPE is 6.35%. As for model validation, the root mean square error (SRMSE) by using the independent dataset shows a value of about 0.17, and the relative errors ranged from -5% to 5%. The robustness of the developed models is investigated by introducing 5% random error into original data, and the corresponding results show that SMAPE is below 2%, and SRMSE is less than 0.002. Additionally, the model is successfully applied to derive distribution map of D50 from GOCI data (Jun, 2013), and the results show that the diameters of suspended particles increas from near-shore region to off-shore waters.

    PbSe quantum dot (QD,in 4.4-nm diameter) doped fibers are prepared with a solid fiber core of UV gel,in doping concentration from 0.1 mg/mL to 6.0 mg/mL,and with different fiber lengths.By measuring the absorption spectra of QD doped fibers,the absorption cross-section of 980 nm varying with the doping concentration and the fiber length is determined.Measuring photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the doped fibers show that the PL-peak intensity varies with both the doping concentration and fiber length.Thus,there is an advisable doping concentration and fiber length corresponding to the maximum PL intensity.The results presented in this paper provide a support for development of PbSe-QD doped fiber amplifiers and lasers in the future.

    Based on the four-cylindrical-lens slit spatial filter proposed by American Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, the beam propagation characteristics in the slit spatial filter has been studied with Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction integral and commercial Matlab software on image relay and spatial filtering. Unlike the conventional pinhole spatial filter, the front (back) focal plane of the slit spatial filter system is not only related with focal length, but also with the distance between the cylindrical lenses, which is beneficial for greatly decreasing the focal intensity in high-power lasers by about 3 orders of magnitudes and greatly decreasing the scale of the spatial filter. However, with the slit spatial filter, negative point is also brought about that, the image relay of slit spatial filter can be strict satisfied only in the situation of 1 time beam expansion. In the situation of 1 times beam expansion, the spatial filtering of the slit spatial filter is consistent with the conventional pinhole spatial filter.

    In normal conditions, image quality of space camera optical system changes very little in a permissible range of depth of focus,which will appear different degrees of falling when the image plane is out of depth of focus however. The wavefront coding technology (WFC) can extend the depth of focus very well,and enable the optical system to be insensitive to defocus. The user-defined merit function using modulation transfer function as image quality guideline is proposed based on extended polynomial to import cube phase distribution in the pupil, the optical system is designed of WFC system, and the test device is builded. The test results show that the image of WFC system is not only correspond to image of original system, but also keeps stably in a big range of depth of focus, which proves the big value of WFC on enhancing the stability of space camera.

    The image distortions caused by the prisms are investigated in rotational double prism scanning imaging and the inverse ray tracing is performed to correct the image distortions.To evaluate the characteristic and the extent of distortions,the rotation angles of prisms and the incident direction are obtained based on the direction of the line of sight and the size of the field of view.The rays from the field of view span are traced through the two prisms based on the vector form Snell’s law.The image deformations are modeled as case examples for the infrared images of germanium prism system and the visible images of glass prism system.The result shows that the images are compressed along the deflection direction from the system axis and the deformations become more prominent with increase in deviation angle.To correct the distorted images,the rays from the image points are traced inversely through the prisms.A scanning imaging system for the visible band,based on the rotational double prism,is built and its image distortions are analyzed.The results show that the simulation predictions for image distortions are correspond with the experimental observations.The inverse ray tracing can effectively correct the distortion and fairly improve the quality of the distorted images for both simulation images and experimental images.The analysis results about distortion and its correction method have referenced value on the imaging applications of rotational double prism.

    Commission International de Illumination (CIE) publishes‘CIE 127 technical report’(CIE 127) for light emitting diode(LED) measurement.Two different conditions (condition A and condition B) for measurement of averaged LED Intensityare proposed in CIE 127,and the LED measurement method gradually win the worldwide recognition.Most of the LED has a different averaged LED intensity in these two measurement conditions,and the difference is up to 10% in some LED measurements,so it is difficult to evaluate the averaged LED intensity accurately.Mathematical models for different kinds of luminous intensity distribution have been created according to a large amount of measurement data.Simulation results and measurement results make clear that the impact of strong directional luminous intensity distribution can be reduced to less than 0.5% when distance between detector and LED is up to 645 mm,and the equivalent full plane angle is approximately 0.5°,this work makes the value of averaged LED intensity have consistency widely.

    A simple and practical technique is studied to develop a near- infrared nonlinearity coefficient measurement for optical detector. Two infrared LEDs are used, and two source meters are adopted to control the LEDs and their driving currents. Using flux-addition method, the proposed method achieves the measurement of nonlinearity coefficient within four orders of magnitude at certain wavelength, which is determined by the emission peak of LED. The 940 nm LED is used as an example. The room temperature is controlled and the infrared LEDs as the light sources are quite stable. When the ignition time ranges from 1 min to 10 min, the relative standard deviation of the radiation flux is not greater than 0.022%. The reproducibility of the LED flux is also studied. The LED is turned on and off 10 times, and the relative standard deviation of the radiation flux does not exceed 0.044% at different flux levels. The measurement uncertainty is discussed and evaluated. The expanded measurement uncertainty of the calibration results is 0.07% (k=2).

    In order to understand the optical properties of the colored iceland crystals after fading by heat treatment, the fading conditions are explored by choosing the yellow and the purple crystals. One colored crystal is divided into two parts - the faded and the colored, and the two parts are polished. The optical properties including transmittance, extinction ratio and principal refractive index are measured. The results indicate that the fading temperatures of yellow and purple iceland crystals are 405 ℃ and 485 ℃ respectively (constant temperature for 4 h). The extinction ratio and principal refractive index do not change after fading. The transmission spectra of the purple, dark yellow, light yellow crystals are extended to ultraviolet. Especially for the dark yellow crystal, the transmission range is extended to ultraviolet by about 130 nm, and the transmittance in 400~600 nm is greatly increased. After fading, the optical properties of colored iceland crystal achieve the optical performance of the natural clear crystal. Thus, the colour fading of iceland crystal has great significance for utilizing the scarce natural iceland crystals.

    The rapid development of cognitive neuroscience makes objective determination of various physiological parameters possible. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging brain imaging tool that can detect human skin tissue hemodynamic indices including oxygenated hemoglobin (HbO), deoxygenated hemoglobin (Hb) and total hemoglobin (tHb). Electrocardiograph (ECG) and respiration wave (RSP) are also two important physiological parameter determination methods. In order to obtain multiple physiological parameters using fNIRS only, three algorithms, including time-domain waveform characteristic analysis, frequency-domain band-pass filtering and wavelet decomposition and reconstruction, are used to calculate heart rate (HR) and breath rate (BR) based on the HbO data collected by fNIRS. The calculated HR and BR results are compared with the real HR (77.0199) surveyed by ECG and BR (22.9153) surveyed by RSP. The results show that the three methods can all extract HR from fNIRS effectively, wherein the band-pass filtering can extract the most accurate HR (76.8807) with the deviation of -0.1392. The BR (21.7039) with the deviation of -1.2114 is also calculated by the same algorithm. Extracting HR and BR features using fNIRS signal is realized.

The reponse function of beam′s propagation in such a special cell is obtained by the Green function which is based on a (2+1)-dimensional nonlocal nonlinear Schro?dinger equation (NNLSE), and at the same time,the nonlinear coefficient in this case is obtained. The results show that the nonlinear effects can be stronger by certain technical means. On the balance point, the potential is approximate to the 2nd order, an approximate breather solution is presented. In addition, another breather solution is obtained by numerical integration. Respectively compared the breather amplitude fluctuations, period and the maximal (minimal) widths which are calculated by the two theoretical methods with the numerical simulations, it is obviously found that the results of numerical integration are more accurate.

    Light emitting diode (LED) junction temperature variation,aging and other issues will lead to drift color temperature,color and other parameters.Current analog dimming and pulse width modulation (PWM) dimming can not solve this problem.Study found that average current affect flux,and peak currents affect color temperature.Therefore,a PWM and pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) dimming technology is proposed.Without changing the average value of the driving current pulse,we adjust the current pulse amplitude to compensate the color temperature drift.A PWM and PAM LED driver is shown,the experiment verifies that when average current is equal,luminous flux are equal,color temperature change along with peak current.Therefore,a PWM and PAM modulation technique proposed can compensate color temperature drift in actual dimming process,solve the problem of color temperature drift caused by LED junction temperature variation,aging and other problems.

    In view of the importance of the relative reflective intensity on retroreflective coefficients estimation and new retroreflective material design,light transmission process in the cube corner elements is modeled,changes of light propagation and light vector polarization directions during reflection or refraction are traced,light intensity loss is calculated based on ray tracing principle.A numerical calculation program is set up for retroreflective light intensity calculations of cube corners under different incident angles,azimuth angles and polarization states.The reflected light relative intensities distributions at different incident angles and azimuth angles are computed with natural light illumination and polycarbonate as the body material.The results show that the reflected light intensity is significantly affected by the incident direction of light.For incident angles smaller than 25.5°,the reflected light relative intensities remain big and approximately constant value of 0.899.For incident angles bigger than 25.5°,the reflected light intensities decrease monotonically and are significantly influenced by azimuth angles.

    A functional relationship between chromaticity coordinate and the duty cycle based on the RGBW color mixing equations and the pulse width modulation drive (PWM) is deduced. Multi-constraint optimization simulation of the luminous efficacy of source (LES) and color rendering index of the mixed-light is carried out on a Matlab program, which is further verified by the experiments. The results show that the RGBW light source can produce a wide range of color temperature from 2703 K to 7692 K. Under the highest Ra achievable, the Ra reaches 95, while the LES can reach 108 lm/W under the condition of an optimized LES. Furthermore, by reducing the color rendering index, the luminous efficiency improves significantly. The color rendering index likewise increases by reducing the luminous efficiency. By balancing these two factors, it has found that RGBW light source with high LES and Ra over 90 can best satisfy the demand of the current lighting manufacturing.

    A new scheme is proposed to generate adjustable rectangular hollow beams by wave plates. According to the birefringent property of crystals, the thickness distribution of wave plates is designed. The wave plates can form the four- step phase plate to o light and the π phase plate to e light. The rectangular cross- section hollow beams will be obtained with the vertically irradiate on the surface of the wave plate by linearly polarized light beams. In addition, it is simple optical arrangement and easy adjustment to regulate the ratio of the length and the width of the adjustable rectangular hollow beams by means of the adjustment of the length and width of the light transmission windows. Approximate non- diffracted rectangular hollow beams will be obtained through the optical system consisting of the long focal length lens group and a conical surface prism focus diffracted light.‘Hollow bread’beams with the rectangular section will be obtained through the focusing of the high numerical aperture lens.

    As for the problem of small target detection in hyperspectral remote sensing image, a detection method based on adaptive parameter support vector machine (SVM) is proposed. The low dimensional information of the hyperspectral image is obtained using the method of principal component analysis (PCA) and the redundancy of data is reduced. Then, small targets are positioned fast and roughly by an unsupervised detection method, and the posterior information of SVM is got by the position result. The kernel parameter of SVM is determined adaptively based on the posterior information and the criteria of divergence in the kernel space. The best hyperplane in the kernel space for the segmentation of targets and background is found by the SVM. Pixels are separated to targets and background by the best hyperplane. The accurate and stable target detection result is obtained by iteration. A large number of experimental results show that, compared to the existing methods such as RX method, kernel RX method and support vector data description (SVDD) method, the proposed method is more effective to detect small targets accurately in the hyperspectral remote sensing image.

    A rapidly-swept high-sensitivity cavity ringdown spectrometer (SC-CRDS) has been developed based on near-infrared continuous-wave diode lasers. By rapid sweeping/dithering of the ringdown cavity length via a piezo-electric transducer (PZT) , in combination with an automatic cavity length tracking circuit to follow laser wavelength changes, fast CRDS measurements are achieved. This system is applied for measurement of CH4 concentration by detecting its spectroscopic absorption peak around 1653.73 nm (6046.95 cm- 1). By measuring multiple spectral points around the absorption peak, both the peak absorption value and corresponding laser wavelength are determined. A feedback control to the laser wavelength helps to stabilize its center wavelength to the absorption peak. Therefore, it successfully solves the problem of strong wavelength drift of the laser in free operation. The line strength of the CH4 1653.73 nm absorption feature is calibrated by measuring CH4 premixture samples with reference concentrations. This simple CRDS system shows stable and reliable performance as well as a CH4 concentration detection limit of 1.0×10-9; and it can be applied to monitor CH4 in ambient air over a long time.

    The primary data sampling methods of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometer include He-Ne laser triggering method and Brault method. The Brault method uses the hardware counter and the collected data has time delay, which may lead to the increase of subsequent data processing time. Therefore an improved data sampling and processes method based on the Brault method is proposed. The method adopts the synchronous data acquisition card, and samples two-path data simultaneously, to get the precise zero crossing information of He- Ne laser with approximate similar triangle method. Interference signal is resampled according to the cubic spline interpolation method, and the software data sampling and processing is realized. In addition, the spectra obtained by the He-Ne laser triggering method and the proposed method are compared. The comparison results show that the background of H2O and CO2 absorption peaks in spectra obtained by the two methods are consistent with the standard absorption spectra, the improved data sampling and processing method based on the Brault method improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the spectrum, and the laser zero crossing information can get the stability of the moving mirror scanning speed. However, sampling and processing time for the He-Ne laser triggering method is less than that for the improved Brault method.

    An effective design of a tungsten anti-scattering grid with 2 mm in thickness for medium-energy X-ray imaging is proposed. The grid is produced by precise mechanical drilling technology and is with the typical size of 52 mm × 52 mm. The flash radiographic experiments to test grid anti-scattering performance are performed based on a 450 kV medium-energy X-ray source, and the numerical simulation by the Monte Carlo method is also carried out. The imaging experimental results show that the image quality of flash radiography is improved substantially after the grid is used, and the boundary clarity in the sample core is enhanced obviously. The numerical simulation results indicate that scattering gray at any image position is lower than direct gray when the anti-scattering grid is used, and the ratio of scattering gray to direct gray is reduced by 74.7% compared to that without grids.

    Micro channel plate (MCP) used in X-ray focusing and imaging has such advantages as larger field of view, lower weight, and lower sensitivity to device alignment. Based on the X- ray total reflection theory, the focusing properties of flat circular-channel capillary arrays are discussed, and the theoretical calculation of the relative gain and point spread function (PSF) on focal plane against the parameters of MCP is presented. The calculated results are verified via TracePro software, through which the focusing performance of MCP with 25 μm circular-channel diameter is simulated. Both of the model calculation and the simulation suggest that the relative gain of the MCP is nearly proportional to the source distance ls, while independent on the maximum aperture of the MCP. When the source distance is 110 mm, the relative gain can reach about 18. Furthermore, the performance of MCP with misalignment of off-axis and tilt is discussed, which suggests that the off-axis of MCP barely influence the focal spot while the tilts influence the location and shape of the spot.
