In order to meet the urgent requirements of detecting atmospheric trace gas in limb observation geometry, an optical system of spaceborne broadband limb sounder for detecting atmospheric trace gas is designed. The system is an imaging spectrometer with the working wavelength band from 0.3 μm to 0.7 μm, and its full field of view is 2.4°, focal length is 120 mm, and the relative aperture is 1∶6. To avoid the problems of the classical CzernyTruner spectrometer, such as low spatial resolution caused by large astigmatism, a modified CzernyTurner spectrometer is designed, in which astigmatism can be corrected simultaneously in a wide band. By matching the modified CzernyTurner spectrometer with a offaxis parabolic telescope,an example of limb sounder optical system is designed. Ray tracing, optimization and analysing are performed by ZEMAX software. The analyzed results demonstrate that the astigmatism is substantially corrected, and the MTF for different spectral band is more than 0.69, which satisfies the predesigned requirement and proves the feasibility of the astigmatismcorrection method.

    In order to solve the problem that integral grade affects the imaging quality, a method of integral grade selection for remote sensing cameras is proposed. Firstly, a model of signal to noise ratio and integral grade is derived and another model of modulation transfer function, satellite attitude parameters, precision of the TDICCD’s line transfer frequency and integral grade is as well formulated. Then, the viable integral grade range is obtained under the restrictions of the SNR and MTF targets based on the above two models. Consequently, the gain of the imaging system versus the optimal integral grade is given. Finally, experiments and comparisons are made to validate the proposed method. The results indicate that: the optimal integral grade can be selected based on our method, and the best imaging effect can be accordingly obtained; when the optimal integral grade is nonexistent, a comparative good integral grade can be also acquired; the imaging effects obtained under the proposed method is better than that of the conventional ones.

    Three offaxis projection systems based on even aspheric surface reflectors and Zernike polynomial surface reflectors are designed using wave front aberrations analysis and modulation transfer function. The projection system consists of three reflectors, in which the number of Zernike polynomial surface reflectors is different. The first mirror M1 is concave to reduce the size of the second mirror and obtain high contrast ratio. The second mirror M2 and the third mirror M3 are convex to achieve a shorter projection distance and little system aberration. Optical performance analysis show that the system based on three Zernike polynomial surface reflector is the best, the MTF is more than 60% at 60 lp/mm and system distortion is less than 2.0% under the condition of Fnumber=2.8, the magnification of 80. Compared results with references show that the designed system based on three Zernike polynomial surface reflectors can more easily eliminate system aberrations, shorten system thickness and increase the visual angle and relative aperture.

    A preconditioning process encompassed vacuum baking and burnin with ultraviolet radiation. An equipment of preconditioning of microchannel plate was designed which could provide vacuum environment (10-5 Pa at least) as well as heating elements. The heating elements were controlled to reach 350℃ and then the vacuum chamber was sustained 350℃ for 18 hours in the procedure of bakeout.

    Adopting the photosensitive polymers + phosphor for LED conformal coating to realize the white LED phosphor coating planarization process, this technology enables the device to give off bright light and more self color space than the traditional packaging process, and spot color between single tube and the deviation of brightness is less than 6%. Integrating photosensitive of PVA and physical chemistry performance of silicone and adopting emulsion technology in slip method process, the phosphor surface coating of PVA and silicone is realized, which is help to improve phosphor layer′s physicochemical properties. The improvement of effective refractive index of multiple phase coating is more helpful to improve the whole luminous efficiency of device. Because the range of photopolymer′s sensitive wavelength is very wide, besides the technology of adding to photosensitive, so that its photosensitive wavelength range is match to LEDs emitting wavelength, so white LED conversed by variety of phosphor can achieve planar coating technique. Because the majority of photopolymers are easy to absorb UV light, the traditional casting technology of UV+ threecolor phosphor will be greatly improved.

    Compared to the dithered ring laser gyro with the linearly polarized light running in the cavity, the Zerolock Laser Gyro(ZLG) with the circularly polarized light running in the cavity is more sensitive to the magnetic field. In order to reduce the magnetic sensitivity of the ZLG, the magnetic sensitivity of the ZLG is theoretically analyzed. When the relative sacle factor corrections of left and right circularly polarized gyros are equal, the bias of the ZLG will not vary with the magnetic field. Further more, the linearity of relative scale factor correction will be improved. The magnetic sensitivity of the ZLG is experimentally tested, and the results indicate that the insensitivity point with respect to the magnetic field is existent, which is consistant with the theroretical analysis. Compared to the method of traditional passive magnetic shielding, the method of operating ZLG on the insensitive point by active control is proved to be of great practical value for reducing the magnetic sensitivity and improving the accuracy of the ZLG.

    Applying the morphological operator, which characterizes the spatial correlative informations of pixels, to endmember extraction of hyperspectral remote sensing image can improve the performance of algorithm effectively. In order to overcome the limitations in sorting rules and replacing criteria of extendedmorphological operator, which is commonly used in hyperspectral remote sensing image to extract endmembers, the modified extendedmorphological operator is proposed after introducing the concept and presenting the calculating method of reference vector. The crossreplacement phenomena at the junction of different classes can be avoided and the correct coverage direction can be ensured when the modified sorting rules and replacing criteria have been applied in endmember extraction algorithm to enhance the results as key means. The endmember extraction algorithm using the determine profiles, generated after openclose and closeopen operations defined by basic dilation and erosion operations of modified extended morphology, is described in detail. The automated modified extendedmorphological endmember extraction algorithm is achieved by using both spatial and spectral information in a combined manner, thus, the endmember extraction result is superior to the approachs designed from a spectral information viewpoint only. The alogrithm is implemented in IDL7.0 and testd by using real hyperspectral imagery collected by airborne visible/infrared imaging spectrometer in cuprite area, the experimental results of the similarity on spectral curves, the average similarity and the mineral distribution maps verified the validity of the algorithm.

    The spectral data were analyzed by using the Partial Least Squares Regression. The result shows that the addition of hemoglobin changes the number of principle component from one into three, while the largest contribution wavelength changes from 459 nm to 432 nm and 433 nm. This indicates that absorption noise of hemoglobin was introduced in the spectral data used for PLS model. Furthermore, compared with pure bilirubin solution, the Root Mean Squared Error of Prediction(RMSEP) of the model for mixed solution increases 24.90%, and the correlation coefficient of the model for mixed solution reduces 0.29%. It means that the addition of hemoglobin decreases the prediction ability of the model. Meantime, a new absorption peak at 408 nm appears, which seems there is a hypochromic effect, due to some weak key combinations between hemoglobin and bilirubin. And the new absorption peak changes the number of principal components and reduces the predictive ability of the model. Overall, the influence of hemoglobin should be reduced in order to improve the transcutaneous detection accuracy of bilirubin.

The results indicated that there were a lager number of Hydrogen bonds in the thylakoid solution. The Raman spectra were 531 nm and 532.2 nm and the PSII fluorescence were 689.8 and 686 nm for the spinach and Suzhou Green solution before the treatment by magnetic field. But the Raman spectra changed to 533.2 nm and 532.8 nm, and the PSII fluorescence were 686.8 nm and 685.4 nm for the two sample after the treatment. The static low magnetic field can change the Hydrogen bond energy to a constant value in the two solutions.

The intensity of the Zn3N2 (321) peak increases with the NH3 ratio. The films prepared with the NH3 ratios of 5%~10% have low transmission values, the transparency of the films get better with the increase of the NH3 ratio. The Zn3N2 films have an indirect band gap, the optical band gap increases from 2.33 to 2.70 eV when the NH3 ratio varies from 5% to 25%. XPS analysis shows that the Zn3N2 film is easily hydrolyzed by air moisture. Photoluminescence spectrum shows two emission peaks, which are located at 437 nm and 459 nm.

    According to internal pressure effect and without internal pressure effect, the temperature field, thermal stress, strain and the damage of the combustion chamber case under the laser irradiation, are calculated and analyzed respectively, based on the finite element analysis software ANSYS. Analysis results show that, the distribution of the shell temperature field and beam power is identical, and the maximum temperature is at the center of spot. The maximum stress is not in the center, but is located in the flare edg. If the shell absorption of laser power density is lager than 1 000 W/cm2 , the stress of the shell will be greater than limited stress and the shell will soften. In the presence of internal gas pressure condition, shell stress produces a local focus, along the circumferential surface by laser spot center axis region crack probably. Compared with no internal pressure shell, the stress and deformation produced by the shell with internal pressure are greater. In order to achieve the same damaging effects, in the circumstances of exist internal pressure, the laser radiation intensity can be appropriately reduced.

In this paper, the Xray diffraction(XRD),differential thermal analysis (DTA), visible/nearinfrared absorption spectroscopy, infrared transmission spectra,Raman analysis were adopt to the analysis of the relationships of the composition, structure, thermal stability, and optical properties of the GeSe2In2Se3AgI ternary glass system. The Tauc equation was used to calculate the indirect optical band gap. From the heatingrate dependence of crystallization temperature, the activation energy for crystallization(E) was calculated by the Kissinger equation.The glass samples are amorphous, resulting in a wide composition range of glass formation. A maximum ΔT value of 114℃ and the activation energy for crystallization(Ea=320.4 kJ/mol) were obtained for the glass composition 70(4GeSe2In2Se3) 30AgI. With the addition of AgI, the shortwave absorption of the glasses shifts to the shorter wavelength and the optical band gap increases. In addition, the infrared transmission spectra shows that these prepared glasses all have wide optical transmission and there has been no significant change in infrared cutoff wavelength of the glasses which are all 16 μm or so.

    Light scattering materials with polysiloxane microspheres as the light scattering agents and poly(methyl methacrylate) as the matrix were prepared by mixed method. The influence of concentration and the particle diameter of light scattering agents on the total transmittance and diffusivity were studied and compared with the theoretical values. The results show that:the refractive indexes of polysiloxane microspheres and Poly(methyl methacrylate) are well matched, the contradiction between light transmittance and diffusivity can be solved, and the double requirements of high transmittance and haze can be achieved. When the mean diameter of microspheres is 5 μm, doping concentration is 0.6wt%, total light transmittance of light scattering materials with the thickness of 1 mm is 88.5%, and diffusivity is 89.5%. Furthermore, in the visible light wavelength, total transmittance is almost independent from wavelength. The change of diffusivity with the wavelength of light source can also be minimized with appropriate particle diameter, and wavelength dispersive can be avoided effectively.The experimental data and theoretical simulation results are very consistent.

    The ZnO nanocombs have been successfully synthesized on Si (111) substrates with different substrate placed conditions by thermal evaporation method. The XRD, SEM, specrophotometer and fieldemission testing device are used to investigate the morphology, structure, photoluminescence and field emission properties of the ZnO nanocombs. XRD results indicates that both of the two samples under different substrate placed conditions(A:horizontal and B:vertical)belong to polycrystalline hexagonal structure. SEM results show that both of the two samples have nanocomb structure, but the size and the surface morphology of the nanocombs change with the different substrates placed conditions. The nanocombs in sample B are smaller and uniform. The room temperature photoluminescence(PL) spectra results show that the UV emission peak of the sample B appears blueshift in comparison to that in sample A, and the ratio of the UV emission peak to the visible emission peak in sample B is larger, indicating the high crystallization quality. Besides, The field emission test results show that the field emission of the both two samples conduct through the electronic tunnel effect, and the field emission performance of sample B is better.

    An approach is proposed to determine the phaseshifting value in phaseshifting digital holography. By employing a random phase plate behind the object, we successfully made the phase distribution of the object on the holography plane a spatially approximation random distribution. Then an algorithm utilizing this character to extract phaseshifting value is proposed. Computer simulations indicate that the extracted phaseshifting value is very close to the predetermined, and the relatively error is less than 0.1%. At the same time, by comparing the calculation results with and without the random phase plate, we find that the phase distribution of an object has some correlation after diffraction.

    In particle digital holography, the process of determing focal distance is cumbersome and complex using traditional numerical reconstruction methods. Based on HilbertHuang transform, a method for detecting axial position of particle from inline digital hologram is presented. The radial intensity distribution of single particle hologram is transformed by empirical mode decomposition which results in several intrinsic mode functions. The particle position can be determined by using liner regression of the first intrinsic mode function′s Hilbert spectrum. The validity and reliability are demonstrated by the theoretical simulation and experiments. Since it does not need to reconstruct the hologram, this method is expected to be used in real time digital particle hologram analysis.

    A novel image denoising algorithm based on nonsubsampled Contourlet transform domain is proposed. First, according to the correlation of nonsubsampled Contourlet transform coefficients in interscale and intrascale, nonGaussian distribution model is used to model its correlations. We propose a classification standard where the coefficients are divided into important and unimportance coefficients, and generalized Gaussian distribution is used to describe the probability distribution for the important coefficients. Adaptive threshold is derived under the Bayesian theory and the best range of the parameter is found out. In order to overcome the shortcoming of the soft and hard thresholding function, then a new adjustable thresholding function is presented. Lastly, the new thresholding function is used to estimate coefficients without noise, and inverse nonsubsampled Contourlet transformation is performed to get denoised image. Experimental results show that our algorithm outperforms the other current outstanding algorithms in peak signaltonoise ratio, structural similarity and visual quality.
