    Stars in the image field are rotating around image center when altaz telescope tracks celestial targets, which increases difficulty to real time target identification and image processing based on multiframe images. The K mirror with large aperture is designed to compensate image rotation for the Coude optical path of altaz telescope in the paper. K mirror is composed of three reflecting mirrors, and its aperture is 42 mm. The angle between reflecting mirror 1 and reflecting mirror 3 is 120 degrees, and K mirror can be used in all spectral ranges. If incoming vector rotates a certain angle, and K mirror rotates half the angle that incoming vector rotated, then output vector does not rotate any angle. The reflecting mirror 1 and reflecting mirror 3 are made of plane mirrors and fixed on a metal triangle, substituting reflector which is made of triangular prism. Every reflecting mirror is assembled by using photoelectric autocollimator and fine rotating platform, so it can be sure that the light axis of K mirror and the rotating axis of K mirror are in one line. The K mirror is directly drived by DC toque motor for the reason of fast response speed, and Renishaw angle encoder which angle resolution can be reach 0.072 arcsec by interpolation is adopted.

    The onedimensional nonlinear photonic crystals containing defects that are embedded in air are investigated. However, attributed that the reflective second harmonic wave is so strong that it can not be ignored, the slowly varying amplitude approximation is not applicable to such a system. The paper presents a general solution of second harmonic generation without adopting the slowly varying approximation when the incident light is obliquely launched upon the onedimensional inhomogeneous systems. The result shows that the wavelengthes corresponding to the defect modes shift to the shortwavelength with the increasing angle of incidence. The broadened band width second harmonic generation with high conversion efficiency can be achieved by modulating the angle of incidence of fundamental wave. Furthermore, this method can be applicable to any onedimensional inhomogeneous systems and the conversion efficiency of second harmonic generation can be easily and conveniently calculated.

    Fringe center method is an important demodulation method for electronic speckle pattern interferometry fringe. The precondition of this method is to obtain fringe skeletons with high precision. Based on the analysis of carrierwave electronic interferometry fringe characteristics, a fringe skeletons extracting method based on modulation direction was proposed. Firstly, a homomorphic filtering was used to filter the high frequency multiplicative speckle pattern noise effectively and pick out carrierwave fringes. Then a fringe skeletons extracting algorithm based on modulation direction was applied to confirm the dots of gray scale extremum and make binarization processing. In order to get whole fringe skeletons map, the mending methods based on skeletons curve fitting or based on the fringe separation were adopted to compensate the edge fringe skeletons. Experimental results show that this method is simple and reliable. It can extract the consecutive fringe skeletons quickly and accurately.

    During the temperature difference of 10℃~230℃, three kinds of ShackHartman measuring methods are used to contrast atmospheric coherence length r0 with quadrant detector(QD), and ShackHartman(SH) and photomultiplier tube(PMT) respectively are applied to contrast refractive index structure parameter C2n with scintillation power spectrum. The experimental results show that: for r0 , the stability of QD decreases more obviously than SH when there is strong turbulence, and for three ShackHartman methods, DIMM overcomes problems such as device jitter but brings in problem of inconsistency in direction which wave front method can avoid; for C2n, SH is more precise than PMT which fitting correlation coefficient is up to 0.96; for scintillation power spectrum, the maximum frequency SH tested is 15 Hz higher than that of PMT when it is 200℃ influenced by noise; through the analysis of ShackHartman subaperture scintillation power spectrum, the scintillation power spectrum is not able to be measured precisely and different subapertures accomplish the measurement turbulence uniformity when the same subaperture incident intensity is not in the CCD response linear interval. The results will provide an optimal test method and theoretical basis for turbulence cell.

    Raman lidar is used as an effective tool for detection of the atmospheric compositions and characteristics. A complicated Raman lidar system was developed by Anhui Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics of Chinese Academy of Sciences for measuring the lowtropospheric temporal and spatial distribution of CO2 in the atmosphere. And a series of observations and comparative analysis were performed. A wavelength of 355 nm UV laser was applied as the light resource in this system and the N2 and CO2 Raman backscattering signals were acquired by a dualchannel photoncounting card. Li7500 H2O/CO2 analyzer was employed to compare with the detection results to make system calibration and then to retrieve the atmospheric CO2 volume mixing ratio in the horizontal and vertical direction. And the spatial temporal variation of a whole night atmospheric boundary layer CO2 profile was measured at Hefei area. The observations have a good agreement in the trend of change with the Li7500 H2O/CO2 analyzer. The results show that atmospheric CO2 has relatively homogeneous concentration and the Raman lidar is capable of continuous measuring efficiently the temporal and spatial distribution of CO2 in the atmosphere.

    Many methods are considered for calculating longperiod fiber gratings (LPFGs) transmission spectra such as integral method, formula method and transfer matrix method. In this paper, these methods are analyzed based on the coupledmode theory and their characteristics and the conditions of application are pointed out. Exact solution for multimode transmission spectra can be obtained directly by integral method in a wide wavelength range, however, the computation process of integral method is complicated. The formula method is convenient for calculating and expressing, but it can only solve single mode transmission spectra directly in a narrow wavelength range. The transfer matrix method is suitable for calculating some transmission spectra of nonuniform fiber gratings, it is simple to implement, almost always sufficiently accurate, and general the fastest. Through the analysis and compare of the three methods, a best method with high precision and simple calculation is provided for longperiod fiber gratings transmission spectra in theory, which is important for the research and application of LPFGs.

    In view of the problems that the target border always appears too fuzzy to be detected, a novel method of brain tumor segmentation is proposed based on spatialfrequency domain image enhancement. The method is composed of the spatial and frequency domain enhancing process and the detecting process. In the enhancing process, the directional filter band, neighborhood and histogram equalization are combined to overcome the defect of contrast reduction caused by directional filter and the defect of details vagueness caused by histogram equalization. Then in the detecting process, a method of image segmentation is applied to find the area of the brain tumor. The experiment results show that the enhancing process strengthens the features of tumor greatly, and improves the contrast and definition of the image.

    The image definition criterion is one of basic problems in passive autofocusing technique based on digital image.The traditional Brenner Algorithm has a fast calculation speed,but the accuracy of evaluation result depends on the threshold value,and the Algorithm sensitivity is low. For this issue, an improved Algorithm is proposed. The improved function uses high pass filter and bandpass filter to evaluate the image, and overcomes the limitation of traditional Brenner Algorithm depending on the threshold value.In order to evaluate the improved Algorithm performance, the parameters of unimodality, accuracy, sensitivity, calculating cost are compared and analyzed.Compared with the traditional Brenner Algorithm, the experiments and analysis show that the improved Algorithm can meet unimodality, accuracy, and improve sensitivity and reduce calculating cost.

    An image watermarking scheme with dual purpose is proposed by introducing the selfembedding technology, which can achieve both copyright protection and content authentication. At the embedding side, an original image is split into nonoverlapping blocks, and the m least significant bits of every pixel in each block are set to be zero. Then each block is conducted with singular value decomposition, and an original robust feature watermark is derived from judging the parity of the first digit of singular value′s norm from each block. Finally, a watermarked image is produced by selfembedding the original robust feature watermark into the m least significant bits of every pixel in each block. At the detection side, robust feature watermark′s extraction from an attacked watermarked image is similar to its production at the embedding end. Copyright identification is accomplished by calculating the normalized correlation between the extracted robust feature watermark and the original robust feature watermark. Content authentication is accomplished by tamper detection through judging the consistency between the extracted robust feature watermark and the m least significant bits of every pixel in each block of attacked image. Both theoretic analysis and experimental results illustrate that it has perfect invisibility. Experimental results also show that it not only has strong robustness towards attacks such as adding noise, cropping, JPEG compression, smoothing, resampling and geometric attacks like random row removal, right shifting and downward shifting, but also can accurately locate the tampered region and distinguish tamper type. Therefore, it can achieve dual purpose containing copyright protection and content authentication.

    Morphological characteristic of maize seed is an important factor in identifying maize varieties. Hyperspectral images of 432 maize seeds including nine varieties were acquired using hyperspectral imaging system. The images were corrected and preprocessed, and then shape features of each sample were extracted in the range of 563.6~911.4 nm including 55 wavelengths. The classification models were developed using the shape features of maize seeds from singlewavelength, multiwavelengths and full wavelengths coupled with partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA), respectively. Simulation results indicate that the average correct identification rate of training set and testing set with full wavelengths is 98.31% and 93.98%, which are better than singlewavelength and multiwavelengths. Therefore, that is the accurate mean for identifying maize varieties using the feature information of visible and nearinfrared region from hyperspectral images.

The result shows that the formation of oxidation film on the metal surface plays an important role in the fluorescence emission. The quench and enhanced surface fluorescence effect from the physically polished rough copper surface with/without oxide layer were experimentally observed. The formative oxidation film was helpful to decrease the efficiency of the noradiative energy transfer from the fluorophore to the metal surface, and enhanced fluorescence intensity will be obtained with the properly controlling of the spacer layer between the molecules and metal surface. The experimental observation was analyzed with the local field of surface enhanced fluorescence.

Moreover, the computational complexity can be reduced significantly. The new apodization function can be widely applied to zerocrossing single sided interferogram data processing of fourier transform spectrometer.
