A subharmonic method was proposed based on the multi-order frequency grids dividing for the generation of the turbulent phase screen to compensate the low frequency components. Frequency grids were divided by multiple orders in the frequency domain of phase screen, and the frequency grids of each order were further finely subdivided, and then the frequency components in low frequency range which contribute the most to the turbulent spectrum could be compensated sufficiently. The phase structure function and the power spectrum of atmospheric turbulence were used to analyze the accuracy of the generated phase screen. Simulation results show that the discrepancy between the phase structure function derived from the generated phase screen and the theoretical value directly calculated from the turbulent spectrum is decreased by the increasing of the total number of frequency grid orders M, and frequency grid point number of each order N′xand N′y. For every group of M, N′xand N′y, there is an optimum value for frequency space before subdividing Δf1. By selecting M = 3, N′x=N′y=3 and Δf1=2 m-1, the phase structure function and the power spectrum of the screen can be quite closely to theory. The overall slope in the generated random phase screen reflects an accurate sampling of the low frequency components.

    Based on the silicon bulk micromachining process, a micro programmable grating with tunable blazed angle was designed and optimized. The relative light intensity in the cases of different blazed angle and incident angle was theoretically calculated. Also, the far-field relative light intensity with the changing incident parameters was surveyed by adopting the COMSOL, a finite element simulation tool. The results show that: compared with the surface-micromachined gratings designed in our previous research, the efficient reflecting area is increased by more than 8%, reaching to 83.63%. The realized maximum blazed angle of the designed grating is 6.84°, and the maxmium diffraction efficiency can be 96.67% under the condition of normal incidence with the wavelength of 532nm and the blazed angle with a tunable range of 0-10°.

    A phase recovery method based on sinusoidal optical grating modulation was proposed. Firstly, the complex amplitude of the optical field was modulated by two different directions sinusoidal gratings located at the spatial light modulator. Secondly, relationship between the intensity and the partial derivative of the phase was derivate. Last, the partial derivative of the phase was calculated using intensity images, and then the phase information was recovered. The simulation experiments were carried out to test the recovery ability of the method for simple images, complex images and noisy images. The results show that the proposed method could recover phase information effectively by expediently control the image motion, which applies to the calculation of the phase objects of different scales.

    Taken 16 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (16QAM) as an example, the performance of three kinds of LDPC codes over Galois fields (GF(2m)) for m=1,2,4 in 16QAM systems was analyzed. The simulation results show that 4-ary LDPC code, rather than 16-ary LDPC, shows significant advantages in both error correction performance and decoding efficiency. Then in order to further improve the performance of NB-LDPC codes in high-order modulation systems, the watermark symbols are introducted into 4-ary LDPC codes in 16QAM systems. Compared with traditional non-binary LDPC decoding, the average iteration number of watermark scheme presents a quite obvious decrease, it means that the decoding efficiency can be greatly improved by using watermark scheme. Moreover a further Net Code Gain (NCG) improvement of about 0.1 dB can be attained when bit error ratio BER=10-5.

    The formation pattern of hazy image based on multiple scattering, which is described by atmosphere point spread function (APSF), is modeled. The generalized Gaussian distribution was adopted to approximately formula the expression for APSF through the similarity in the shape and proper convolution operation. Aiming at enhancing the quality with reasonable time consuming, an improved dehazing method was proposed based on dark channel prior (DCP). The approach applies the superpixel algorithm to obtain image patches with similar depth for halo prevention, and based on this, the sky region was also detected more accurately by region merging. Therefore the transmission on the sky and non-sky region was separately estimated, the color distortion reduction in the sky region was achieved. Experimental results show that the proposed method can robustly recover a high-quality haze-free image with abundant details from both subjective and objective image-quality assessment.

    In order to study the impact of atmospheric turbulence on the imaging polarization detection of space targets, this paper constructed a simulation analysis model and focused on analyzing detection deviations of degree of linear polarization caused by the atmospheric turbulence. By simulating the time-sharing and simultaneous polarization imaging method, it is found that atmospheric turbulence has obvious influence on the imaging polarimetric measurement accuracy, which impacts the time-sharing imaging polarization method more obviously. And the impact resulting from atmospheric turbulence can be significantly reduced by using the adaptive system to correct partial low order aberrations. For balancing the imaging signal-to-noise ratio and the measurement accuracy of the imaging polarimetry, an improved polarization imaging method which combining with time-sharing and simultaneous imaging method was proposed. The influence of atmospheric turbulence on this method is larger than the simultaneous method slightly. But the proposed method can achieve a better imaging signal-to-noise ratio. Then from simulating and analyzing, it is found that multi-frame images combination method can reduce the deviations of polarimetric measurements under influence of atmospheric turbulence effectively, especially for time-sharing polarization imaging method.

    Liquid phase diffusion is a high energy consumption process in chemical production. With the rapid development of the chemical technology based on liquid phase diffusion, especially in some emerging fields such as biomedicine and environmental science, the microcosmic study on the liquid phase diffusion is becoming more and more important. By applying the digital holographic interferometry, a diffusion process in liquid phase of pure ethanol and water was observed. After recording the digital hologram by a Mach-Zehnder interferometer and reconstructing digital hologram of object beam by the gray scale analysis, the phase variation of object wavefront in the diffusion process at different times and the curves of refractive index change in the diffusion area were both acquired. The result shows that by applying the digital holographic interferometry, a fast, real time and high-accuracy diffusion can be realized. Moreover, this method can be used to realize a remote visual monitoring. In addition, this method combining with wavelength and angular multiplexing techniques can be applied to obtain nonlinear characteristics parameters in multiple-phase diffusion measurements.

    Theeffect of the moving mirror tilt errors on the modulation depth wasanalyzed for the circular aperture in Michelson interferometer. To meet the requirements of interference modulation, the tilt angle of the moving mirror is best controlled within 1″ under the theoretical calculation, corresponding to the phase error within ±6°. In order to solve the key problem, the dynamic alignment system wasused to align the tilt error of the moving mirror ,and make alignment between the moving mirror and the fixed mirror.

    Influence of the scattering phase function on the diffuse reflection of a micro-region close to the source was investigated by Monte Carlo simulations, and relationship between a semi-empirical model of diffuse reflection and the optical parameters related to the phase function was analyzed. Research shows that the scattered light of the micro-region close to the source is very sensitive to the scattering phase function, and the sensitivity will gradually weaken with increasing of collection aperture φ.When φ>1.8 mm, influence of the scattering phase function on the diffuse reflection is not obvious and relative change in reflectivity is less than 1%; when φ<1.8 mm, influence of the scattering phase function on the diffuse reflection can reach up to 15.2%. When the anisotropic factor g and the second-order optical parameter γ are used to characterize a single-particle scattering properties, the differences of scattering properties are reflected in the third-order parameter δ. The diffuse reflectance decreases with the increasing of δ and the influence of δ on the diffuse reflectance can reach 9%.

    A series of Expanded Graphite (EG) with different Expanding Volume (EV) were prepared by the two-step chemical intercalation, and the microstructures and morphologies of the EG particles and their precursors were obtained by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and a stereoscopic microscope, respectively. The extinction behaviour of EG for 1.064 μm laser was measured by a static test, and then the average mass extinction coefficient was calculated and its dependence on EV was obtained and subsequently analyzed by the extinction theory. The results show that EG particles with different EV, especially with an EV of 600 mL·g-1, may be prepared by controlling the synthesis conditions of the precursors, namely graphite intercalation compounds. The average interlayer spacing (d002) of the precursor for EG becomes larger than that of Natural Graphite (NG) due to the two-step intercalation, and the EV of the EG whose precursor’s d002 rises from 0.3590nm up to 0.3711nm, increases from 267 mL·g-1 to 600 mL·g-1. The average mass extinction coefficient of EG depends near-linearly on its EV, and rises from 0.20 m2·g-1 up to 0.48 m2·g-1 while the EV increases from 233 mL·g-1 up to 600 mL·g-1 in the static test. The phenomenon of nonselective scattering occurs when an incident 1.064 μm laser reaches to EG particles, and then the larger is the surface area of an EG particle owing to a higher EV, the stronger is its scattering power to 1.064 μm laser. Meanwhile, much deeper pores and cavities appear with the EV increasing, and may work as equivalent black bodies to improve EG absorption of the incident laser.

From visible lightto nearinfrared wavelengths, the transmission characteristics of the structure were investigated by finite-difference time-domain method. The structure exhibits typical wavelength demultiplexing function, which is due to that the electromagnetic wave energy of different wavelengths can be trapped in different insulator rings and coupled into the corresponding output ports. The resonance theory is employed to analyze the trapping phenomenon.The resonant wavelength of the ring has near linear relationship with the radius and has red shift with increase the value of the filled refractive index. The transmittance of resonant wavelength in the output ports are heavily influenced by the coupled thickness. The proposed multiple-ring shaped MIM waveguide may be useful for plasmonic designs.

    In order to get the quantitative relationship between Cs adsorption and cathode electron affinity variation, GaN photocathode was activated with Cs using the experimental system for activating and evaluating NEA photocathode. According to the theory of semiconductor photoemission and the double dipole layer model, the electron affinity changes with the Cs coverage degree, the function relation between electron affinity and Cs coverage degree were gotten. Cs adsorption mechanism was analyzed, the relationship between the Cs adsorption course and the decrease of effective electron affinity was gotten. The experiment results show: during the course of activation with Cs for negative electron affinity GaN photocathode material, the photocurrent increases from the background value to the maximum according to Cs coverage degree. The position of low kinetic energy cutoff in the electron energy distribution curve is decided by Cs coverage degree during the activation process. When Cs coverage degree varies from 0, 1/2, 2/3 to 1 monolayer, the position of low kinetic energy cutoff shifts to the left in turn. The position of low kinetic energy cutoff will shift to the left about 3eV when Cs coverage degree increases from 0 to 1 monolayer. The reason of the left shifting is the quantity increase of the dipole [GaN(Mg):Cs] that help the electrons to escape into the vacuum. The quantity increase of the dipole results in the decrease of vacuum energy level of the surface.

    For achieving an optimized efficiency of nanowire array based solar cells, a GaAs axial pin nanowire array solar cell was designed and analyzed through simulation. The optical absorptance of GaAs nanowire was calculated using three-dimensional finite difference time domain simulations. The structure parameters of the nanowire array, such as diameter and density, were optimized, and the optimized absorptance is 87.4%. Then the electrical performance of the solar cell was analyzed by Sentaurus Device electrical simulation module. At last, the structure of the axial pin structure was also optimized according to the optical generation profile, and the final conversion efficiency of the solar cell can reach 17.6% in the optimized structure. The results indicate that the performance of the solar cell can be significantly improved through surface passivation treatment, which can reduce the surface recombination velocity of GaAs nanowires. And through decreasing the volume of the highly doped top region of the nanowire, the carrier recombination can be reduced and thus the efficiency can be enhanced. The analysis can prove some guidance for fabricating high-performance nanowire solar cells.
