The average relative errors between the experimental value and the theoretical value are 6%, 14% and 6.6% for the slip sensitivity, the slip speed coefficient and the contact force, respectively.
Optical fiber Cascaded FabryPerot Interferometers (CFPIs) sensors based on vernier effect were manufactured by splicing a segment of Hollow Core Fiber (HCF) between two segments of Single Mode Fiber (SMF), and its temperature characteristics were investigated theoretically and experimentally. Simulation and experimental results verify the phenomenon exists in CFPIs sensors, the interference spectra of some sensors based on vernier effect shift to longer wavelength while others shift to shorter wavelength when temperature increases. The phenomenon can be interpreted well based on the value D, which is defined as the Free Spectrum Range (FSR) difference of the cascaded FPIs. Under the condition that temperature increases, the positive or negative of D determines that the spectrum shifts towards longer wavelength or shorter wavelength. Besides, the investigation shows that D makes a great influence on temperature sensitivity. The temperature sensitivity improves with D decreasing. The temperature sensitivities of our experimental sensors are 163.8 pm/℃ and -75 pm/℃, which corresponding D are 0.055 nm and -0.456 nm, respectively. By optimizing the length of the HCF and the caudal SMF proportionally, a simple, compact, lowcost and highsensitivity CFPIs temperature sensor would be achieved.

An infrared small target detection algorithm based on adaptive filter is proposed, which consists of twolayer Two Dimensional Least Mean Square Filter (TDLMS) filters: background removal and target extraction. The background template and target template are introduced, and the original infrared image is processed by TDLMS filtering method. The background noise and clutter are eliminated effectively, while the target information is preserved as much as possible. In the implementation of TDLMS algorithm, an automatic stepsize adjustment algorithm is proposed. The optimal weights of TDLMS filters can be iterated by adjusting the adaptive stepsize through the statistical parameters of the image, and then fused with the weight template, which effectively enhances the detection effect of the target. The experimental results show that the method can adapt to target detection under different background, and effectively improve the detection performance of small infrared targets.

The results show that the proposed algorithm has better visual effects and image quality evaluation parameters.
In order to improve the observability of mine images corrupted by mixed noise, a highdensity mixed noise removal algorithm based on Gaussian curvature optimization and nonsubsampled shearlet transform was proposed. The local Gaussian curvature is used to optimize the mixed noise image to suppress the influence of salt & pepper noise on the noise distribution, which makes the mixed noise distribution approximate to a Gaussian noise distribution. Then, the nonsubsampled shearlet transform is used to decompose the image optimized by Gaussian curvature and implement adaptive hard threshold shrinkage to remove the Gaussian noise in the mixed noise. Finally, the local Gaussian curvature optimization and the nonsubsampled shearlet transform are executed iteratively to reduce the residual noise until the output image gradient energy satisfies the stop condition. Experiments show that the proposed algorithm can effectively remove the highdensity mixed noise composed of Gaussian noise and salt and pepper noise, and effectively suppress the PseudoGibbs phenomenon caused by shearlet transform denoising algorithms, and effectively reduce the noise of mine images.
Conventional dehazing algorithms usually neglect the problem of uneven fog concentration, which is existed in the traffic monitoring image. To tackle this problem, a dehazing algorithm based on wavelength related physical imaging model is proposed. Firstly, a wavelength related physical imaging model is built for traffic monitoring imaging process, in terms of the correlation between wavelength and fog concentration. Secondly, according to the correlation of color and wavelength, a transmission estimation strategy based on the maximal fuzzy correlation segmentation is designed. Considering the fuzzy property of overlapping intensities and spatial correlation of scenes, maximal fuzzy correlation is used for obtaining partition information of different scenes which helps to design the data term of graph cut and enable the implementation of graph cut. Such an image segmentation strategy incorporates the thresholdbased segmentation into the spatialbased segmention, ensuring the spatial correlation, improving the precision and further avoiding misclassfication of white object. Finally, the atmospheric light can be predicted by the sky region in the segmentaion result, and haze can be removed. The experiments tested on the 500 synthetic images and realworld images demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can improve dehazing precision by 7% at least and shorten running time by 15% roughly, comparing with exising dehazing algorithms. Hence, the proposed method can be used for image dehazing in the traffic monitoring system.

Taking the original image by the light field camera, the image sequence is obtained by the refocusing technique, and the scale surface of the image sequence is calculated by the definition evaluation function, to find the clearest image, complete calibration of the refocusing parameter. Evaluating the calibration results, the knifeedge method is used to calculate the Gaussian defocusing parameter of the refocused image. The value of this method is reduced by more than 25% compared with the method of the scale ruler, which can effectively improve the accuracy of refocusing of the light field camera.

An absolute distance measurement system based on the selfmixing interferometry of a threewavelength optical fiber laser has been presented and experimented. The optical fiber laser is consisted of three independent laser cavities and there is erbiumdoped fiber as a gain medium in each laser cavity. The three laser cavities use fiber Bragg gratings as the reflectors and wavelength selectors, and three wavelengths have been emitted simultaneously. There is no laser mode competition between the three wavelengths so each of the three wavelengths has stable frequency and power. Absolute distance measurement can be realized based on the selfmixing interferometry of the three wavelengths and the coincidence of the phase decimal of the three wavelengths selfmixing interferometric signals. By the method of simulation analyzing, the difference between every two adjacent wavelengths should be equal approximately.

The fatigue effect of actuators of deformable mirrors would be generated under the longterm action of the alternating electric field in the process of the wavefront correction in adaptive optics systems. According to the error and openloop transfer functions of adaptive optics control systems and the fatigue characteristics of piezoelectric ceramic actuators, the influence of the fatigue of piezoelectric ceramic actuators on the delay time, correction bandwidth of deformable mirrors and system stability was discussed. The results show that the properties of piezoelectric, dielectric and electromechanical coupling of piezoelectric ceramic all decrease with the increasing of cycle times, in which the electromechanical coupling properties have the greatest influence on the delay time of the deformable mirrors. In the process of correcting the distortion wavefront by the deformable mirrors, both the error rejection bandwidth and the openloop bandwidth decrease with the increasing of the cycle of the piezoelectric ceramic actuators and the delay time of the deformable mirrors. Meanwhile, the variation range of phase margin increases gradually, resulting in the worsening of the stability of the system.

Based on the ultrahigh vacuum interconnection setup for photocathode preparation and surface analysis, the activation experiments were performed on reflective GaAs photocathodes, and the microarea analysis of the photocathodes after chemical cleaning and Cs/O activation was implemented by the scanning focused Xray photoelectron spectroscopy. Micro regions of interest were located to be detected with the aid of the Xray beam induced secondary electron image, and the impurities on the surface were analyzed more accurately. It is found that the GaAs cathode samples after chemical cleaning would suffer from secondary contamination by the metal sheet, accompanied by a small amount of sodium and cesium. Surface analysis and activation experiments show that high temperature heating and Cs/O activation can not remove the sodium contamination, which can affect the desorption of arsenic on the surface, hinder the adsorption of Cs and O in the activation process, and finally reduce the photoemission performance of the activated cathode. The scanning focused Xray imaging technology is used to analyze the microarea of cathode surface, which would assist in investigating the change of surface composition before and after cathode activation more accurately.

Based on the crossspectral density and the unified theory of coherent and polarization, the intensity expression of the Radially Polarized Partially Coherent Spiral Bessel Beam (RPPCSBB) can be significantly deduced. The propagation properties of the beam were also investigated. The RPPCSBB transmits in a spiral path with a fixed distance in free space by the theoretical analysis and numerical calculation. During the transmission, the beam gradually evolves from a spiraling hollow beam to a spiraling Gaussian beam, and the transmission distance is related to the coherence length. The corresponding beam polarization angle and degree are also related to the spiral radius and the coherence length, and the polarization degree relates to the transmission distance. However, the coherence length, transmission distance, and the spiral radius do not affect the distribution of the beam polarization ellipticity.
