In order to study the transmission characteristics of polarized light in seawater with mineral particles suspended, a Monte Carlo based vector radiative transfer model considering the multiscattering effect was proposed. The accuracy of the model was verified by literature results, and the influences of the mineral paticles′ microphysical properties as well as polarization states on transmission characteristics of incident lightis were studied respectively. The result shows that there is a negative correlation between the sensibilities of propagation properties′ response to the variation of the refractive index and the real part of refractive. The imaginary part of refractive indexwhich denotes the absorption ability of particles is an other important factor that influences the propagation characteristics of light. The transmission rate will decrease rapidly with the increase of the imaginary part of refractive index. With the increasing of effective radius, the transmission rate of light drops gradually, but the fact is reversed for the reflection rate. The transmission properties of circularly polarized light and natural light are similar. The transmission rate of vertically polarized light is the largest, while the transmission ability for circularly polarized is the worst. The reflection ability of natural light is the strongest among the four kinds of light, but the reflection ability of horizontally polarized light is the worst. The incident angle of horizontally polarized light has a more sinificant influence on the transmission properties than the other three types of polarized light.

    The time focus of electron pulse was studied by using the time dilation framing camera. While the PhotoCathode (PC) is not pulsed, the measured temporal resolution of the camera is 80 ps. While the pulse with a 14 V/ps gradient is applied on the PC, and the delay time of the circuit is 11.395 ns, the temporal resolution is 8.8 ps. The results show that the the temporal shape of the electron signal is compressed first and then dilated. Furthermore, the relationship between the temporal resolution and the falling edge gradient of the PC pulse is obtained. While the falling edge gradient of the PC pulse is 1 V/ps, the temporal resolution is about 80 ps. It shows that the time width of the electron pulse is approximately equal to its original width while the electrons arrive at the microchannel plate (MCP). While the gradient is more than 1 V/ps, the temporal resolution is less than 80 ps. The time width of the electron pulse is dilated while it arrive at the MCP. While the gradient is 0.5 V/ps, the temporal resolution is more than 80 ps. The time width of the electron pulse is compressed.

    The model between the object and the occlusion background was established by the relationship of perspective projection between the viewpoint, object and background. The error equation was obtained for the coordinates of the viewpoint and the distance to background. The errors of the angle of rotation were analyzed based on the Mont Carlo method. The results show that the relationship between the pixel offset and the errors of parameters is linear, the viewpoint coordinates and the distance errors have different influence in different initial conditions. The pixel offset which is caused by X coordinate and Y coordinate of viewpoint is much higher than the offset which is caused by Z coordinate or the distance to object. The pixel offset which is caused by the pitch angle and the yaw angle is much higher than the offset which is caused by the rolling angle.

    Based on the transfer matrix method and the couplemode theory, the characteristics of reflective spectrum and phase shift of the phaseshifted fiber Bragg gratings were analyzed. The result showed that the transmission windows in the reflection spectrum increased and the phase jumped frequently with the increasing of the phase points, thus the differential effects on signals were generated. Besides, the phase differential orders were proportional to phaseshift points. On this basis, a pulse shaper was designed based on the characteristics of the differential phase shift grating. By optimizing the weighting factors for each order derivative of the Gaussian input pulse, the output pulse can be formed the shapes of rectangular and triangular. By changing the length ratio of the first section optical fiber grating and the second section, the distorting phenomenon of the triangular output pulse was improved. Finally, changing the Gaussian input pulse width by ±5%,the output waveform were synthesized as rectangular pulse and triangular pulse.

    A fiber bending sensor was proposed based on a homemade multicore optical fiber with seven inner cores where the distance between adjacent cores is about 38.78μm. For a section of bending multicore fiber, mode coupling happens between adjacent cores,which provides a method to achieve bending sensing by measuring the transmission spectrum of the bending multicore fiber. The multicore fiberbased bending sensor is fabricated by splicing a sevencore fiber with a length of approximate 1 m to single mode fibers. When a broadband light is injected into the central core of the multicore fiber on one side, the transmission spectrum with the information of bending curvature can be measured by an optical spectrum analyzer. The relationship between the wavelength shift of the transmission spectrum and the bending radius of the multicore fiberbased bending sensor shows that the output spectrum of multicore fiber under bending condition has much more obvious crosstalk phenomenon along with the bending curvature of multicore fiber increasing.

    Based on the rate equation of semiconductor laser, the expression of laser nonlinear intermodulation distortion was deduced by Bessel function. According to the GammaGamma model under the turbulence channel, the influence of performance about carrier signal to intermodulation distortion and noise ratio and bit error rate was researched based multiple subcarrier binary phase shift keying modulation.The selection of optimal modulation index with the corresponding relation of nonlinear coefficient was given. The results show that under the same turbulence condition, carrier signal to intermodulation distortion and noise ratio increases and bit error rate decreases with the increasing of modulation index when the value of modulation index is less than the optimum index. However, when the value of modulation index is bigger the best index, system performance deteriorates. When the scintillation index is 0.2 and the optimum modulation index is 0.6, the maximum carrier signal to intermodulation distortion and noise ratio can get to 12.9 dB.

    A noniterative method was proposed to extract the phase from closed interferograms with tiltshift errors. The proposed method estimates the phase of closed interferogram by Fourier transform, corrects the sign ambiguity of phase by image segmentation, and determines the tiltshift plane by Zernike polynomials fitting. Finally the phase is extracted accurately by least square fitting. Simulation result shows that the residual phase error of the proposed method decreases with the increasing of the number of fringes in interferograms. When the closed interferograms have 4.5 fringes, the average estimation error of tilt shift is 0.37%. Experimental result shows that the root mean square of the residual phase error is only 0.121 7 rad. The proposed method is accurate and non-iterative, can be used in phase shifting interferometry.

    In order to measure the threedimensional profile of object′s surface quickly, a shadow Moiré technique with phase shift based on varying light source positions was proposed. By switching two light sources the method used, the phase shift was introduced into measurement view. The twodimension empirical mode decomposition was used to regularize the fringe pattern. Combining the spiral phase transform and two frames phase shift, the measurement height was estimated, the accurate measurement phase was picked up by using a new iterative adaptation algorithm. The results of the computer simulation and of the optical experiments indicate that the demodulation accuracy of the proposed methohd is better than the traditional two frames phase shift demodulation. Additionally, the proposed methohd greatly saves the measurement time by removing the mechanical motions in the process of measurement, since it only needs the two frames fringe pattern to demodulate the phase.

    The thermoelectric properties of the CoSb3 nanoparticle films, which have been prepared via the Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition, were measured in the temperature range from 300 to 800 K. The resistivity of the CoSb3nanoparticle films is one order of magnitude lower than the single crystal CoSb3bulk sample. The measured values of the thermal conductivity of the CoSb3 nanoparticle films are in the range from 1.08 to 4.05 Wm-1K-1, which are much lower than that of the single crystal CoSb3 samples. This suggests that the nanostructure results in a significant reduction of the thermal conductivity. The highest thermoeletric optimal value was 0.114 and obtained at 773 K. The discussed nanoparticle films are promising for realizing new types of highly efficient thermoelectric semiconductors.

The band gap characteristics of photonic crystal consisted of righthanded material and lefthanded materialis were analyzed, respectively. The results show that the band gap of photonic crystal consisted of righthanded material is sensitive to the thickness ratio and the incidence angle, while is not sensitive to the change of period number. To the lefthanded material photonic crystal, the band gap position appears blue shift as the thickness ratio increasing, and the upper band edge of main band gap appears red shift phenomenon as the incidence angle increasing, but the band gap of TE wave is not sensitive to the change of incidence angle. These properties are significance to design omnidirectional reflectorin microwave technologes.

    In order to describe photon migration at small source detector separation and in media with low reduced albedo where diffuse approximation and P3 approximation have limitations, the solution of radiance transfer equation in the P5 approximation for the case of an isotropic continuouswave point source in an infinite medium was derived. The P3 and P5 were compared with Monte Carlo simulation to verify the correctness of the derived solution. Under the condition of high reduced albedo (0.97), the maximum relative error between P3 and Monte Carlo simulation is about 41.57% while that between P5 and Monte Carlo simulation is just about 13.17%. In the case of low reduced albedo (0.69), the maximum relative error is about 27.78%, 286.70%, respectively. In the situations of other optical parameters, the maximum relative errors between P5 and Monte Carlo simulation are also no more than that between P3 and Monte Carlo simulation. By abandoning the expressions related to the maximum eigenvalue which has little impact to the result of P5 calculation in the validity condition of P5, a simpler analytical expression can be obtained to accelerate the calculation of P5 approximation. Experiments on a solid phantom with a continuouswave radiance measurement system are conducted and the results show that the radiance calcualted from P5 approximation meets well with that from the experimental measuring at small source detector separation and in media with high or low albedo.

    Based on the law of conservation of energy and the mesh generation method,the freeformsurface large angle lens was designed to achieve a nearfield uniform illumination of LED array, whose inner surface is elliptical, the outer is freeformsurface. According to the mapping relations established by the law of conservation of energy, the mesh generation of the light source and the target surface was realized. Then, the refraction law was combined with the iteration to solve the freeformsurface data points. We analyzed the influence of the short axis and long axis ratio of the elliptical inner surface on the lens Fresnel loss and uniform illumination. The researches show that it can be obtained a high light efficiency and an optimum uniformity of illumination when the ratio is in the range of 0.35~0.55. Through the feedback optimization method to optimize the LED array and redivide the grid , the light intensity superimposed part is weakened and the overall illumination uniformity is improved. The simulation results show that when the height of target plane is 80mm and light angle is 157°, the illumination uniformity can be increased from 0.40 to 0.84 after the optimization of the freeformsurface data points,and the efficiency is greater than 0.9.

    The affects of various aberration on geometrical center position, and the deviation of displayed star position energy center caused by aberration in the star simulator optical system were analyzed and comprehensively evaluated. The analysis results show that, the energy generated by the greater star position field will be more uneven, and the energy center offset will be more obvious. Coma and distortion have great influence on the energy star center. According to the property of coaxial optical system composed by the spherical mirror, energy center offset is occurred in the polar radius direction of the star. A correction method based on polar coordinates of the star position was proposed, which only need to correct the polar radius in the direction of star. The method simplifies the correction based on twodimensional coordinate axes partition and reduces a lot of data calculations. The errors between the revised single star positions with star simulator corrected and uncorrected were tested by the polar coordinate correction method, the experimental results show that the correction processing based on polar coordinates is simple and shortcut, and the correction results are more accurate.

The dependence of the distribution of longitudinal energy flux density, the effective refractive index, the propagation length and the effective area of the fundamental mode of the waveguide, on the geometrical parameters and the nonlinear volume fraction were analyzed by the finite element method. Simulated results reveal that light field is distributed mainly in the nonlinear material. The transmission parameters of the fundamental mode, such as the effective index and propagation length can be adjusted by tuning the size and the volume fraction of nonlinear material. When the volume fraction is given, the effective index and propagation length will increase as the thickness of the nonlinear material increasing. With a certain geometric parameter, the effective index will increase as the volume fraction increasing, the propagation length and the effective area will decrease. Finally, the nonlinear effect was optimized according to the analysis results, and the optimized structure size is given by that, the width of waveguide is 250 nm, the thickness of the nonlinear material layer and silicon layer is 100 nm and 150 nm respectively.

    Utilizing the Young′s double slits and MachZehnder interferometer,a experimental method was proposed to measure the generalized Stokes parameters of a random electromagnetic beam .After propagating through the Young′s double slits,the partially coherent beam was processed by a Mach–Zehnder interferometer consisting of apertures,quarterwave plates and polarizers.The electric crossspectral density matrix was obtained by detecting the coherence degree of interference fringe and the density of each single slit, so that the generalized Stokes parameters could be obtained .The experiment result shows that the spectral degree of coherence for copolarized cases is higher than that for crosspolaried cases. This method will help us determine the change of the polarization and coherence of the light in propagation by detecting the change of the generalized Stokes parameters.
