A novel Tunneling Field Effect Transistor (TFET) photodetector based on silicon on insulator is proposed, which combines a photodiode with TFET to realize photodetection and amplication. The anode pole of the photodiode is tied with the gate of TFET. After illumination, the photogenerated potential of the photodiode controls the channel state and drain current of the TFET photodetector, and converts the light into current. The subthreshold region is used to amplifies the drain current, and the responsivity of the detector is improved obviously. Two dimensional numerical simulations were performed in SILVACO. The P region of the photodiode forms the bottom gate of the TFET through the thinner BOX, which enhances the control of the channel and increases the drain current. The results show that the detector has higher responsivity in weak light. When the light intensity is less than 10 mW/cm2, the responsivity of TFET photodetector can exceed 104 A/W. In addition, adjusting the photodiode bias and inserting n+ pockets between the source and the channel can also improve the drain current and responsivity of photodetector.

    To improve the responsivity and working speed of an InP-based optical detector, an uni-traveling carrier heterojunction phototransistor with gradual coupled ridge waveguide is designed. The optical transmission mode of the gradual coupled ridge waveguide is analyzed through effective index method and beam propagation method, and the waveguide width and length are optimized as 2.6 μm and 250 μm respectively to achieve single mode transmission and high absorption efficiency. Because the direction of optical transmission is perpendicular to the direction of carrier motion, the absorption efficiency and speed of the phototransistor are optimized, and the output photocurrent and characteristic frequency of the device are improved. The responsivity is 33.83 A/W, the saturation output photocurrent reaches 90 mA and the highest characteristic frequency is 87 GHz. Compared to the vertical-illuminated uni-traveling carrier heterojunction phototransistor, the saturated output current and characteristic frequency of the uni-traveling carrier heterojunction phototransistor with gradual coupled ridge waveguide are increased by 20% and 24% respectively. However, the uni-traveling carrier heterojunction phototransistor with gradual coupled ridge waveguide has a bigger absorption volume, and then the input light power at which it gets the saturation current is larger too, therefore its responsivity is slightly smaller than that of the vertical-illuminated uni-traveling carrier heterojunction phototransistor.

    Based on an integrated silicon platform, a device for generating and multiplexing optical orbital angular momentum modes is proposed, which is consisted of asymmetric directional coupler and trench waveguides. According to the principle of phase matching, the fundamental mode TE00 is coupled to the first-order mode via an asymmetric directional coupler. Single-trench waveguide can support two orthogonal linear polarization-like modes whose optical axes are rotated by around 45° with respect to the horizontal and vertical directions. Adjusting the phase difference of two orthogonal eigenmodes to make them degenerate, TE00 can be converted into orbital angular momentum modes with various topological charges, and multiplexed in the second trench. The simulation is carried out with finite difference domain method. The results show that the device can realize the generation and multiplex of orbital angular momentum modes with topological charges of +1, 0, -1. The proposed device is very compact with a footprint of μm×5.3 μm and an insertion loss of 0.24 dB, and is fit for a wavelength range from 1.47 μm to 1.58 μm.

    A photodetector based on Graphene/n-type Si Schottky junction is designed and fabricated. I-V and C-V characteristics are analyzed from the band energy perspective. The results show that Graphene/SiNx/Si(metal/insulation layer/semiconductor) capacitor has effects on device characteristics. Under the illumination of near-infrared light(808 nm), the photodetector exhibits that the reverse photocurrent is approximately the same value as the forward one owing to photo-generated holes, which diffuse from Si/SiNx interface to Graphene/Si junction and the responsivity is 0.26 A/W. The Schottky barrier height and ideality factor extracting from I-V dark current curve are 0.859 eV and 2.3 respectively based on thermionic emission model. The Schottky barrier height extracting from C-2-V curves on account of the equation of depletion layer capacitance increases and tends to be stable around 0.82 eV with increasing frequency. The value of depletion layer width of Gr/Si Schottky junction increases with increasing frequency, while doping concentration of Si donor atoms and capacitance of device decrease, which are attributed to surface states.

    A tungsten oxide thin film (WOx) with 30% oxygen content was sputtered on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass by DC reactive magnetron sputtering. On this basis, tantalum oxide thin films (TaOx) with different oxygen content were sputtered. The phase structure and the relative change of elements of tantalum oxide film were analyzed by X-ray diffraction and energy dispersive spectrometer. The surface morphology of tantalum oxide film was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy. The transmission of tantalum oxide film was measured by ultraviolet spectrophotometer and electrochemical workstation. The electrochromic property of tantalum oxide film was studied. The results show that the sputtering tantalum oxide films are all amorphous structure. With the increase of the oxygen content, the oxygen content of the films is close to 71.4%, and the protection performance of the films to tungsten oxide shows a downward trend. When the oxygen content is 70.08%, the optimal protection performance to tungsten oxide is obtained. At this time, the coloring response time of the electrochromic films is 21 s. The addition of tantalum oxide film reduces the switching peak current and leakage current of the electrochromic film, and keeps the charge capacity stable and improves the cycle stability of the device.

    Optotype test method in the field of ophthalmic diagnosis was simulated. The contrast sensitivity of visual images through Fresnel microprisms was investigated. An imaging system for stroke test objects through Fresnel microprisms was set up. Experimental data on contract were obtained using new electronic method for registering the resolution of test stroke images. The experimental data obtained by the imaging system is consistent with the visual acuity data obtained by the traditional optotype test method. It was stated that applying microprisms noticeably reduce the contrast of test stroke optotypes which is diminishing proportionally to the prism strength and to the initial contrast value of the optotypes. The main reason for the reducing of the contrast and for the worsening of the resolution of optical images when using prisms is the white light chromatism and the diffraction of light beams at the microrelief of microprisms with different prismatic strength. The practical ways for the diminishing effect of reducing the contrast of the test optotypes are proposed by adopting the neutral glass filters with a sprayed layer of chromium.

By doping electron capture materials PCBM into the active layer, the recombination of photo-generated holes in the active layer decreases and the photo-generated current increases. Thus the photodetector performance is improved further. It is found that when the electron capture material doping is 5wt%, the performance of phototransistor is better. The photoresponsivity is boosted to about 6 000 A/W and the detectivity is up to 1.4×1015 Jones.

    A metal film with higher work function is deposited at the output electrode of the microchannel plate to cover the original nickel-chromium electrode, which further reduces the kinetic energy of the output electrons of the microchannel plate and the dispersion of output electrons on the phosphor screen, thus improving the resolution of the microchannel plate. The experiment results show that the resolution of the image intensifier increases by 6.6% from 60 lp/mm to 64 lp/mm when a 20 nm thick silver layer with work function of 4.3 eV is deposited on the output electrode of the microchannel plate, while the resolution of the image intensifier increases by 13% from 60 lp/mm to 68 lp/mm when a 20 nm thick platinum layer with work function of 6.4 eV is deposited on the output electrode of the microchannel plate. At the same time, the gain of microchannel plate decreases. For silver plated microchannel plate and platinum plated microchannel plate, the gain decreases to 74% and 33% of the original value respectively. The higher the work function of metal film, the higher the percentage of resolution improvement, and the higher the percentage of gain decreases. Therefore, when the proposed method is used to improve the resolution of microchannel plate, it is necessary to use the microchannel plate with higher gain, so as to make up the influence caused by the decrease of microchannel plate gain.

According to the structural characteristics of the mirror, a parametric model of the flexible support structure is established. The second-generation non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is used to establish a multi-constrained and multi-objective parameter optimization model. The key parameters of the flexible structure are optimized. The minimum size is only 1.30 mm. The strength of the bonded area is checked and the safety margin is 3.6. Finally, the engineering analysis and mechanical test of the mirror assembly are carried out. The flexible structure designed can ensure that the surface accuracy of the ultra-light mirror is better than 3 nm, when it is under the gravity and temperature is changed by 4℃. The relative error of simulation analysis and mechanical test is less than 10%. Finally, the mirror surface accuracy of the mirror assembly was detected. Before and after the mechanical vibration test, the surface error RMS of the mirror is 0.020λ, indicating that the mirror assembly has good stability. The feasibility of the design method and reliability of the flexible support structure with folded-arm beam proposed in this paper are verified.

    Taking a 30×continuous zoom lens as an example, the method of changing the pressure angle of the curve is researched. The pressure angle is taken as the objective function, and the cam curve rotation angle is constructed as a piecewise function to re-divide the angle, the position where the pressure angle is too large is distributed large rotation angle, and the rotation angle of position where the pressure angle is small is compressed, so as to reduce the overall pressure of the curve, and also to restrain the large inflection point effectively in the curve. The optimization results of various angular allocation values are compared with the simulation using Matlab and the optimal cam curve is obtained. The optimal result reduces the maximum pressure angle of the curve from the original 76.9° to 41.9°. The experimental results show that the zoom lens optimized by this method has good imaging quality, the line-of-sight liner is not more than 3 pixels, and the stability of the line-of-sight is not more than 1 pixel.

    A scheme for generating broadband optical frequency comb was proposed and numerically simulated. For this scheme, a 1 550 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser under a large signal current modulation with a modulation frequency of fm=f0/n (f0 is the frequency interval of two orthogonal polarization components of a 1 550 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser, n is an integer) can output an optical frequency comb in the dominant Y polarization component direction while the X polarization component is suppressed. By further introducing a linearly polarized optical injection, both the two polarization components (spectral main-peak ratio less than 15 dB) can output optical frequency combs. Finally, via a polarizer the two optical frequency combs with orthogonal polarization components can be decomposed by spectral splicing to obtain a broadband optical frequency comb. Based on the spin-flip model, the optical frequency comb performances of generated by this scheme is numerically investigated. The numerical results demonstrate that, when the bias current of a 1 550 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser with a threshold current of 2.6 mA is set at 11.5 mA, the Y polarization component dominates while the X polarization component was suppressed, and the ratio of the main spectral peaks of the two polarization components is more than 30 dB. Under a current modulation with a large modulation index, only the Y polarization component of the laser can realize an optical frequency comb output. By further introducing a linearly polarized optical injection, both two polarization components can output optical frequency combs by adjusting the polarization direction of the linearly polarized light. Finally, a polarizer is used to guide the two polarization components to the transparent direction of the polarizer to achieve the spectral splicing, and then an optical frequency comb with a bandwidth more than 80 GHz can be obtained.

    In order to study the scintillation characteristics of vortex beam and Gaussian beam in underwater turbulence, an experimental system consisting of water turbulence have been set up. In the water tank, the intensity of turbulence is controlled by using a circulating pump, and the scintillation index of the beam is measured by using a scintilloscope. Using this experimental system, the scintillation index of vortex beams and Gaussian beams propagating in underwater turbulence are investigated in detail. It is found that the scintillation indices of vortex beams and Gaussian beams are getting bigger with the increasing of the transmission distance, as well as with the increase of the intensity of underwater turbulence. Within the propagation distance 12.6 meters, the scintillation index of vortex beam with topological charge m=2 is much bigger than that of Gaussian beam. At 5.4 meters, the radial scintillation index of vortex beam with m=6 decreases firstly and then increases in underwater turbulence. In addition, the scintillation index of a topological vortex beam with topological charge m=6 is lower than that of a topological vortex beam with topological charge m=4 after a certain distance of propagation. The research results obtained by our experiments have important value in exploring the application of vortex beam in oceanic turbulence.

    Aiming at the complex atmosphere environment on Mars, using the T-matrix theory, the scattering characteristics of three kinds of Mars dust particles with non-spherical shape were studied. Then the scattering characteristics of non-spherical Mars dust particles with lognormal distribution were calculated, and under the conditions of sandstorm and no sandstorm, the variation trend of attenuation coefficient and transmittance of non-spherical Mars dust particles with particle number concentration, wavelength and height was analyzed, and compared with spherical particles.The results show that the extinction efficiency factor and scattering efficiency factor of non-spherical and spherical particles are quite different, and the difference between them is as large as 1.786 8 and 1.761 9. The scattering characteristic of chebyshev particles is the closest to that of spherical particles. When the incident wavelength is 0.55 μm, the overall scattering of dust particle swarm on Mars is mainly concentrated within 40° forward direction, and the scattering intensity of non-spherical and spherical particles are basically equal within 60° forward direction. When the scattering intensity is larger than 60°, the non-spherical particles have higher scattering intensity than spherical particles. The attenuation coefficient and transmission of non-spherical Mars dust particles (with wavelength, particle concentration, and height) are basically consistent with the spherical particles, and when the size ratio is closer to 1, its attenuation coefficient and transmission coefficient are closer to the value of spherical particles.

It is found that the amplitude distribution is positively correlated with water depth, with a correlation coefficient of 0.81. The amplitude distribution of internal solitary waves in Wenchang sea area, Dongsha atoll area and deep sea basin was calculated. It is found that the amplitude of single internal solitary waves is different. The amplitude of internal solitary waves in Wenchang sea area, Dongsha atoll area and deep sea basin is positively correlated with the water depth, with correlation coefficients of 0.79, 0.91 and 0.81 respectively. This study provides a new method for inversion of internal solitary waves amplitude in both deep and shallow areas of Northern South China Sea.

    Aiming at the fact that the traditional fixture positioning can not meet requirements of complex curved blade damage in the process of aero-engine blade repair, an adaptive positioning method for blade repair on complex curved surface based on speckle measurement was proposed. Firstly, a visual measurement system was constructed. The three-dimensional configuration of the blade was achieved by matching the speckles on the blade surface and calculating the spatial coordinates of the reference measuring points and the data of the blade solid point cloud. Then, an adaptive positioning model was established, and the pose matrix of each positioning coordinate system was calculated to realize the adaptive positioning of curved surface blades under under-positioning clamping in machine tool coordinate system. Finally, an adaptive positioning experiment based on demage five-axis NC machining center was carried out to verify the effectiveness and practicability of the positioning method. The experimental results show that the deviation of translation vectors is less than 0.25 mm and the deviation of Euler angle of rotation matrix is less than 0.2°. The shape and position information of blades are extracted by one-time clamping and fixing using visual measurement to reduce the locating process, which can provide an experimental basis for the subsequent adaptive positioning and repair of complex surface blades.

    In order to solve the problems of surface reconstruction and high-light weak texture objects, such as holes and noise, and information loss, a reconstruction method of illumination compensation combined with depth image was proposed. Combined with the parameter estimation of illumination direction and illumination intensity, the highlight area was determined and uniform illumination was applied. Then the drift region of the mean shift algorithm was corrected by the change track of the laser point, and an improved mean shift center descriptor was established, and the noise and holes of the depth image were determined and repaired. Finally, the surface reconstruction of the object was achieved. The results show that the proposed method can maintain the complete reconstruction of different kinds of objects, avoid the lack of information and reduce the negative impact of the external environment and the characteristics of the object itself. The robustness and effectiveness of the proposed method are verified by the high-light weak texture standard picture and real-time object reconstruction experiments, and the performance indexes such as root mean square error, peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity.

    A modified Kalman real-time adaptive filter method was proposed for micro-electro-mechanical system gyro which is easy to be susceptible to environmental influences and stability, and lead to the problems that the established random drift model parameter and the noise statistical property change. The order of random drift ARMA model was determined by analyzing the measured data. On this basis, the recursive least square method was used to update the model parameters in real time. According to the characteristics of gyro noise parameters, a real-time filtering method of Allan variance analysis based on fading memory factor and Sage-Husa adaptive filter algorithm was proposed to estimate the parameters of Q and R at the same time. The coupling and restriction of system state estimation and measurement noise parameter estimation were avoided. The experimental results show that, compared with the standard Kalman filter compensation method, the proposed method in this paper can compensate the random drift error of MEMS gyro more effectively in real time, and has better adaptability and stability.

    Profile measurement plays an important role in aspherical mirror testing. However, the coordinate deflection and shift will lead to errors in result. In this paper, the analytical mathematic formula for misalignment error is presented. The measurement results are optimized by numerical differentiation method and nonlinear optimization algorithm based on least square method and the influence of these errors is eliminated. This method can effectively reconstruct the off-axis aspherical surface with systematic error. After four times polishing of the 570 mm off-axis aspherical mirror, the surface PV and RMS are decreased from 34.80 μm to 13.83 μm, and from 3.28 μm to 1.89 μm, respectively. For further comparison, the 220 mm×96 mm off-axis rectangle-shaped mirror is measured and proved that this method has strong applicability and generality for special shape mirror.

    Experiments on measuring the photometric characteristics of space targets were conducted based on Jilin-1 video satellites, the method of using video satellite to image space targets and perform luminosity inversion were demonstrated. The inversion and estimation on luminosity characteristics of targets was based on grey scale value of output images from camera sensor. An analysis on the effect from the error of radiation calibration coefficient and image noise on the inversion precision was also conducted based on the principle of error transfer. By using star targets as the standard radiation source, the inversion precision was verified. Results show the error of luminosity inversion is less than 0.15 magnitude. A statistics analysis on targets filmed by Jilin-1 satellites was performed and examples were listed, giving estimation on the maximum sensing distance, probability of target capture and the observation performance. Results show that the agile imaging mode of video satellite which is designed for ground remote sensing performs well in space target observation as well.
