For detecting space debris in the high orbit, a telescope with wide field of view (4°), large relative aperture (1∶1.32) and broad wavelength (500 nm to 800 nm) is obtained. The telescope, whose clear aperture is Ф750 mm, consists of primary mirror and refractive corrector group. The surface type of primary mirror is parabolic, and the refractive corrector group includes one ellipsoid lens and three spherical lenses. The advanced methods of optical elements measurement and whole system are introduced respectively. Firstly, the figure error of spherical lens is measured using template method. A compensation test method of null lens is used to test the hyperbolic primary mirror and ellipsoid corrector lens. Next, when the corrector lens group is aligned, the whole corrector lens group is tested making use of a new spherical mirror method. And at last, it is adopted to measure the optical telescope with collimator test in the room and with nature star observation outdoors. All of the measurement results are satisfying the requirement of design. The figure errors of spherical lenses are less than 0.1 fringe in the first step, the figure errors of primary mirror and ellipsoid lens are less than λ/30 (RMS), and the wavefront error at the third step is less than λ/30 (RMS). After measuring the whole telescope optical system in the room, the 80% encircled energy is within 2 pixels, at the side of that, when observing the stars outdoors, the 80% encircled energy is also within 2 pixels in the whole field of view, 4° diagonal.

    In order to make the adaptive optical system function well, it needs to have a full understanding of the performance of the deformable mirror, so a technique for the flatten calibration of the deformable mirror based on the measurement of the interferometer is presented. Firstly, all the PZT actuators are set to the midrange of their control voltage; and then, the height of the mirror surface with the ZYGO interferometer is measured, the height of mirror surface at each actuator is calculated, and the differences between the height of the mirror surface at each actuator and the average height of the mirror surface are figured out; finally, the actuators are controlled to reduce the differences to zero. The results show that affected by the hysteresis of the PZT actuator, the mirror surface needs 4 to 6 iterative processes showed above to reach the same preset desired flatness; for the 21elements deformable mirror, which without the actuators under the periphery of the mirror, an rms surface figure near λ/20(λ=632.8 nm) at its 80% aperture is achieved; for the 137elements deformable mirror, which has actuators under the periphery, the rms surface figure is better than λ/50. Under different observation conditions of the telescope, this technique can flat the deformable mirror rapidly in the adaptive optical system, in order to adapt to changing working conditions.

    Compared with silica glass, chalcogenide glass possesses some unique advantages, such as high refractive index (2.0~3.5), low phonon energy (lower than 350 cm-1), and large infrared transmission window (up to 25 μm). In this paper, a kind of environmental protected Ge20Sb15Se65 chalcogenide glass was prepared, which showed good transmission in IR range. Based on this glass, a photonic crystal fiber with three rings air holes was designed. Multipole method was employed to study the dispersion properties of the designed photonic crystal fiber. The relationship between fiber structure parameters(the air diameter d, period Λ and the ratio d/Λ)and dispersion properties was presented. The simulation results showed that the zero dispersion point of photonic crystal fiber can be flexibility tuned to short or long wavelength region by control the fiber structure parameters. Finally, by optimizing the sturcure parameters, the dispersion flat photonic crystal fiber through of 3~5 μm was obtained, with the dispersion value less than 5 ps·nm-1·km-1.

    Monocycle pulse and doublet pulse used for ultrawideband (UWB) pulse radar are generated with dualparallel MachZehnder modulator (DPMZM). Based on the fadio over fiber (RoF) technology, the transmission performance of the UWB pluses over standard single mode fiber (SSMF) are theoretically analyzed. It is found that monocycle pulse is broadened with the increase of transmission distance, while doublet pulse is firstly compressed and then broadened. Monocycle pulse and doublet pulse with different width satisfying the FCC requirements of UWB pulse radar can be obtained, when the accumulated dispersion of the radar signal is compensated in different degree with dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) after 100 km transmission over SSMF.

    Lightcured composite resin is an important material in densitry for beauty and restoration. Fiber Bragg gratings(FBG) is used to determine composite resin shrinkage during the lightcuring. Because FBGs are both sensitivity to temperature and strain, two different kinds of FBGs were used to calculate the temperature and strain respectively. One of the FBG was bare, and the other was chemical plated FBG, both of which were embedded in one sample of resin simultaneously. LED light source was used for light curing. Real time changes of temperature and shrinkage strain were gained. The experiments showed that the resin expressed strong shrinkage strain and temperature variation because of the polymerization reaction during the curing. The results are helpful for understanding the shrinkage and temperature change of the materials and improving more prefecable treatment effect.

    It is necessary to evaluate the mechanical reliability of the coiled fibers to evaluate the mechanical reliability of fiber coils applied in sensing fields, such as fiberoptic gyroscope and current sensors, besides the causes of fiber coatings and loop glues. A model is proposed for evaluating the mechanical reliability of the coiled fibers, which is based on the mechanical reliability model of the hauldistance telecommunication fibers by incorporating the bendinduced stress and the coiling tension. The model can simplify the inhomogeneous bending stresses distribution with the maximum stress value and the fact that the compressed stress in the inner side of the fiber natural axis is far small than the stretch stress outside. By these and the choosing of the parameters involved in the model, the conserved results are given using this simplified model. Several numerical caculations of mechanical reliability of various fiber coils with different fiber and bending radius are carried out using this model. The results show that besides fiber own inherent factors including the fiber radius and the fatigue factor, some process parameters, such as the circling tension, the ring radius and the screening tension also have a major impact on the mechanical reliability of coiled fibers.

    Pump depletion was not taken into account in the fourwavemixingbased measurement technique for fiber nonlinear coefficient, which made the results inaccurate. To solve this, the elliptical equation with pump depletion and fiber loss was derived based on the theory of degenerate fourwave mixing. The nonlinear coefficient of the tested fiber could be obtained by setting the parameters in numerical calculation and utilizing simple mathematical method. The necessity of considering pump depletion and fiber loss was analyzed. The numerical results were consistent with the Optisystem simulation data. The improved method proposed in the can be applied to the small signal case, but also to the process of parametric saturation. This technique provided an important parameter for further designing the fiberbased 2R regenerators.

    Aiming to improve the current situation of the simulator fidelity evaluation system, a new theoretical framework based on fuzzy logic and fuzzy set theory is introduced to quantitatively evaluate the simulation fidelity of infrared camera simulators. This framework is an objective and multiparameter evaluation system, which is related to many fields such as fuzzy logic, curve similarity evaluation, image quality assessment, and information theory, etc. Compared with those available, a multiscale fidelity evaluation analysis, which includes performance characteristic evaluation of the total system and image quality assessment of the camera outputs, is considered more compromisingly in this evaluation system. Consequently, the new framework here has better task flexibility and it is easier to quantify and compare the fidelity results between different camera simulators with the same or similar mission requirements.

    In the superresolution image reconstruction, the model of Hubermarkov random field is a common regularizing operator. Aiming at the unsatisfying effect of image reconstruction caused by fixed gradient threshold in the Huber function, a superresolution reconstruction algorithm is proposed based on selfadaptive gradient threshold. The regularizing model is structured based on data item and regular item under the maximum a posteriori probability framework; the regularizing parameters are updated using the intermediate results via iterative method and can solve the selected problem of gradient threshold in the model of Hubermarkov random field. Experimental results show, the improved algorithm can select the proper regularizing parameters based on local gratitude threshold and find the optimal result, recover detailed information and eliminate noise effectively.

    The use of the surface plasmon ploritons(SPPs) instead of photons as the exposure source can pattern nanoscale feature size by its near field enhancement effects. In this paper, we numerically explore the parameter spaces in prismbased SPP lithography system. The calculation principles and methods are given out. Results show that high refractive indices of prism, low thickness of silver film, appropriate incidence wavelength and the refractive indices of resist contribute to optimal interference image with high expore depth and contrast. When chosing 40 nm silver film at 431 nm incidence wavelength, exposure depth achieves 200 nm, and fringes period is 110 mm. The numerical results offer theoretical support for the arrangement of the experimental setup.

    In order to obtain the highquality small holes and overcome the shortcomings of single pulse laser drilling, a new multipulse laser wave is introduced. Using the new manner, the hole of which the diameter is less than 1 mm, is obtained in 1mmthick steel. Depending on the basic of theoretical analysis of multipulse drilling, the multipulse drilling can reduce the generation of melt interest and plasma, and the requirement of high energy for laser drilling. And it can also obtain the higher quality of drilling than the single laser drilling. In addition, the option of pulse width and pulse spacing is important for maching quality of laser drilling. It should choose shorter laser pulse width, when machine the highquatity hole. Through the comparison and analysis of drilling results which are generated by waveforms of single pulse laser and multipulse laser, it is known that the quality of drilling results generated by waveform of threepulse laser is superior to those of single pulse laser. And it is found that the average energy of effective pulse is 350 mJ, and the optimum pulse width and the best pulse interval are both 100 μs.

    Based on the heat conduction theory, a twodimensional axis symmetric transient physical model was established, of which GaAs was irradiated by Gauss laser. By solving the heat conduction equations using COMSOL Multiphysics analysis software, the curve of material surface temperature and the relationship between the temperature at the center of the light spot and material thickness were obtained, and then the relationship between threshold damage time of GaAs and the incident light power density was gained. The calculation results show that the laser induced damage is mostly decomposition damage in the areas where temperature exceeds decomposition temperature of material. The theoretical analyzing result is in accordance with the relative experimental result, so the laser irradiation effect model proves correct.

    RangeDoppler algorithm (RDA) is a basic method in synthetic aperture imaging. In RDA, the Doppler frequency is considered as constant, but this hypothesis is not existed in synthetic aperture ladar(SAL). Based on the echo signal model of SAL, the influence of vibration error on the phase is computed and analyzed. On the reference of the national military standard for environment, in the condition of the frequency below 500 MHz and the amplitude below 0.2 mm, the simulation results show that the influence of vibration on the azimuth resolution is severity, but which on the range resolution is trivial. The imaging algorithm based on timefrequency analysis can overcome the limit of traditional RD algorithm effectively. Compared the imaging results used WVD, PWVD and SPWVD as kernel, they cannot suffice both the imaging resolution and imaging efficiency. A combined timefrequency imaging method based on adaptive windowing is presented to modulate the window size adaptively according to the comparison of variance coefficient and variance threshold, then the counterpoise optimize of imaging resolution and imaging efficiency is achieved. The simulation results show that the imaging resolution of this algorithm is constant, but the imaging time decreases 69.87%, and it can used in SAL for its high imaging resolution and imaging efficiency.

A novel technique is proposed based on the combination of computergenerated holography and reflection holography, which can overcome the limitation of optical holography. This technique can record realexisting objects and virtual objects, and achieve the reconstruction image by white light illumination.

The Fresnel hologram is outputted by a holographic microfilming system. And, the reconstructed real image H1 of the computing hologram is used as the recording object for optical reflection hologram. The principle of this technique is explained in detail and the experimental results demonstrate that the technique is feasible.

    An infrared dim target detecting algorithm called the adjacent relevant pixels detection is proposed. Firstly, an adaptive local threshold is used to detect bright pixels, and then eliminate the noise with the information of adjacent relevant pixels. The remaining suspicious pixels are enhanced by the relevant bright pixels, by which the noise is suppressed again and considerable SNR gains are obtained. ARPD method is compared with classic TopHat transformations with and without 8neigboorhood clustering. The target point in images processed by ARPD method receives high signaltoclutter ratio gain, and the detectability of the target is enhanced.

    The degree of polarization (DOP) of backscattering light in intralipid were measured based on Stokes vector. The characteristics of DOP were investigated when the interaction between polarized light and scattering midum were taken into account . The polarized light included three different wavelengths of 532 nm, 650 nm and 780nm. The diameter of scattering particle was 325 nm. Experimental results show that the circularly polarized component in backscattering light is more than the linearly polarized component for linearly polarized incident light of wavelength of 532 nm. However, this conclusion is reverse for wavelength of 780 nm. In addition, the circularly polarized component is more than the linearly polarized component for three different wavelengths when circularly polarized incident light was used. Furthermore, the total DOP value of 532 nm was larger than that of 650 nm and 780 nm respectively. Linearly polarized light maintained polarization better than circularly polarized light, however, the penetrating depth through scattering medium of polarized light was short. So the imaging used backscattering light can be applied to image superficial objects. Besides, the imaging quality can be improved if the wavelength of incident light is a little bigger than the diameter of scattering particle.

    The polarized light transmittance of magnetic fluids under longitudinal magnetic field and the influence of magnetic fluids concentration, dielectric constants of the remanent liquid phase within the magnetic fluids, the ratio of dipole moment to the thermal energy of single magnetic nanoparticle and the number of magnetic nanoparticles per agglomeration are investigated numerically according to the analytical expression when considering both the geometric shadowing effect and the Faraday rotation effect. Theoretical results indicate that the magnetic fluids concentration, dielectric constants of the remanent liquid phase within the magnetic fluids and the ratio of dipole moment to the thermal energy of the single magnetic nanoparticle affect the polarized light transmittance apparently. The polarized light transmittance of magnetic fluids increases linearly or oscillates with the strength of the longitudinal magnetic field for low or high concentration samples, respectively. In certain ranges, the polarized light transmittance of magnetic fluids increases with dielectric constants of the remanent liquid phase and the ratio of dipole moment to the thermal energy of single magnetic nanoparticle. While the polarized light transmittance is almost independent of the number of magnetic nanoparticles per agglomeration. The distinct difference of the parameterdependent polarized light transmittance at low and high magnetic field regions is obtained. The applications to several photonic devices based on the polarized light transmittance of magnetic fluids under longitudinal magnetic field are proposed.

    Based on that the potential functions and medium parameter are irrelative and expanding the electric fields inside & outside the anisotropic medium target into series, the nthorder expressions both of scattering field from an anisotropic medium target and its inner elelctric field are developed. The transformation of the dielectric constant tensor is presented. When a plane electromagnetic wave incident in arbitrary direction, a general relation between the unit vector in propagation and that in polarization is expressed. Taking the magnetized cold plasma as an example, the first order scattering is developed and the error induced by the second order field is evaluated. In the THz wave band and optical wave band, the obtained result is simulated. Simulation results show that the differential scattering change sensitively with operating frequency and the polarization etc.; the nondiagonal elements of the tensor have no influence on the scattering; when the wave length and the size of the target are given, the simulations are correct in THz wave band and validate in other wave band.

    Edible flavor is one of the essential materials in cooking process and daily life, so the identification and testing of edible flavor become particularly important in food safety. In this paper, the optical property and spectroscopy of edible flavor were studied based on the terahertz timedomain spectroscopy (THzTDS). By applying a numerical fast Fourier transform (FFT), the optical constants of black pepper, white pepper, Chinese prickly ash, aniseed, ginger, liquorice, bay leaf, five spices and thirteen spices were calculated. Different kinds of flavors have their unique characteristic absorption features. The absorption spectra of each kind sample increase in monotonic form and are not equal in the slope of curve in the range of 0.2~1.25 THz. However, in the range of 1.25~2.0 THz, edible flavoring shows different absorption features. The refractive indices of samples vary in the range of 1.3~1.8. The refractive indices of samples appear anomalous dispersion suggested that the resonance process is related with optical absorption, which also exhibit absorption peaks similar to those in the curve of absorption coefficient. THzTDS technology can be used for qualitative analysis of different kinds of flavoring according to their characteristic spectral features. The results indicated that THzTDS can be used to establish the fingerprint database of edible flavoring.
