The Monte Carlo model of laser scattering in turbid media was established with the help of scattering angle from the cumulative probability density interpolating of the Mie scattering phase function. With the model, the laser multiple scattering in uniform monodisperse polystyrene turbid medium was studied, the influence of turbid media with different optical depths and scattering phase function on laser multiple scattering was explored. By controlling the concentration of 5 μm and 10 μm size polystyrene particles, changing the optical depths of the turbid medium as 2, 5 and 8, the theoretical simulation and experimental side scattering images were obtained and compared. The percentage difference of scattering light intensity attenuation between the simulation and experiment is measured less than 16% under the same medium condition, and the trend of them is basically the same. The simulation can also provide the distribution of light intensity of different scattering orders, and accurately analyze the influence of multiple scattering.

    A ground-based Multi-Axis Differential Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (MAX-DOAS) with the characteristics of simple operation, wide range and high sensitivity was constructed, and the time series of HCHO in Huaibei area from October 2019 to May 2020 were obtained continuously. In order to reduce the interference of other gases, different bands are used to retrieve the differential slant column density of HCHO. Through comparison, it was found that when the band of 324~342 nm was selected, the inversion error fluctuation is the minimum, and the concentration of HCHO gas can be obtained precisely. According to the results of HCHO monthly mean values, compared with the before and after COVIN-9 epidemic ,the concentration of HCHO in the COVIN-9 epidemic were decreased by 35% and 23% respectively. The results of daily and weekly variations respectively showed that HCHO concentration in Huaibei area have daily variation characteristics of high in the morning and evening and low in noon, and there is no obvious weekend effect. Combined with Hysplit wind field backward trajectory model, the wind field of high value weather was studied. It was found that during January 12~14 and 18~21, 2020, under the influence of northwest wind field, the pollution transport from Dangshan and other places in Huaibei area will be affected, which will lead to the increase of HCHO concentration. The result of MAX-DOAS measurement of HCHO vertical column density were compared with the OMI satellite data, and it was found that the two methods had good consistency (R2 = 0.87).

    A optical fiber sensor based on modular interference is proposed to measure temperature, refractive index and axial strain. Waist-enlarged taper is formed at the splice point of a single-mode fiber and a double-cladding fiber, which is then cascaded with two long-period fiber gratings with different periods. Due to the mismatch of the mode fields, the higher-order cladding modes are excited,three resonance peaks are formed, which have different sensitivity responses to different parameters. Therefore, by demodulating the wavelength shift of the three resonance peaks and using the coefficient sensitivity matrix, temperature, refractive index and axial strain can be measured.The experimental results show that the sensitivity is 60.07 pm/℃, 6.47 pm/℃ and 103.83 pm/℃ in the temperature range of 25℃~75℃, the refractive index is in the range of 1.335 5~1.359 5, and the sensitivity is -56.64 nm/RIU, 34.02 nm/RIU and -214.84nm/RIU, the axial strain is in the range of 200~1 400 με, the sensitivity is -2.14 pm/με, -3.61 pm/με and -2.59 pm/με.The resolution is 1.29℃, 0.000 42 RIU and 21.42 με respectively. The sensor has high sensitivity, good linearity and other advantages, can be widely used in the field of multi-parameter measurement.

    For the space applications of fiber amplifier, the radiation performance of fiber amplifier in radiation environment was investigated experimentally. The evolution laws of output power and spectral character are investigated experimentally by irradiating the gain fiber of an erbium-ytterbium co-doped fiber amplifier with gamma rays. The investigation of the noise characteristics of erbium-ytterbium co-doped fiber amplifier has been carried out by means of frequency spectrum measurement. In the on-line irradiation experiments, with a total radiation dose of 50 krad, it is found that the laser output power, the power of peak wavelength and optical noise decrease with the increment of radiation dose. The noise characteristics of the fiber amplifier are analyzed by the optical noise model after irradiation. Compared with the results before irradiation, the coefficients of relative intensity noise of relaxation oscillation noise and the intermediate frequency part are increased by 1.625×10-4 nW·mW-2·Hz-1 and 3.122×10-4 pW·mW-2·Hz-1, respectively, while the coefficients of shot noise are reduced by 0.900 pW·mW-1·Hz-1 and 0.035 pW·mW-1·Hz-1, respectively. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the suppression of the relative intensity noise for the practical application of fiber amplifier in space.

    From the perspective of micro-nano optical fiber coupling, an optical fiber sensor is designed by using single mode optical fiber 2×2 coupling. By changing the tapering parameters of optical fiber coupler, the over-coupling state is reached. At this time, the over-coupling structure of optical fiber itself is affected by the environment, so that the wavelength of light has a higher response to the change of external temperature and strain, realizing the measurement of temperature and strain. In the experiment, optical fiber over-couplers with overcoupling length of 22 000 μm and 22 500 μm are tapered, and their transmission spectra were compared. The temperature and strain sensing tests results show that the lowest wavelength response to temperature is about 104 pm/°C, and the lowest wavelength response to strain is about -21 pm/με.

From the bottom-up perspective, the multi-scale gray and variance estimation is proposed to calculate the saliency map and estimate the optimal target size fastly. Then, the candidate targets are extracted using Features from Accelerated Segment Test(FAST) corner detection algorithm, and non-maximum suppression is introduced to reduce redundancy. From the top-down perspective, based on the theory of biological lateral inhibition and cosine similarity, a soft fuzzy adaptive resonance theory network is proposed, and a dim target feature set is constructed to train it.

    The collaborative application of point cloud data and optical remote sensing image has been widely concerned in the field of remote sensing. In order to accurately register two kind of data and better integrate their advantages, an automatic registration method of point cloud and optical remote sensing image in urban scene is proposed. Firstly, the depth image is generated from point cloud data, that is, 3D data is converted into 2D image. Secondly, the Unet model is used to train the depth image and the optical remote sensing image respectively and get building segmentations. Thirdly, the minimum circumscribed rectangles of buildings are constructed based on the contour set of building segmentation, and the length-width ratio of rectangle is taken as the constraint condition to find Corresponding Points(CPs). Then, we use the similar triangle principle to find CPs of the rectangle’s center point. Finally, the coordinate of the CPs are substituted into the transformation model to calculate the model parameters, thus the registration is achieved. The experimental results show that the proposed method can achieve better registration effect when it is difficult to match with traditional point feature method, and it is resistant to image translation, rotation and scaling.

The method of relative radiometric correction and on orbit fast test provide effective reference for the follwing polarization imaging instruments with large field of view.

    In order to solve the problems of low accuracy and long time of pixel matching in online three-dimension(3D) measurement, a pixel matching algorithm based on improved grid motion statistics features is presented. In this method, only one frame of sinusoidal grating is projected onto the measured object, five frames of deformed patterns caused by the moving object with equal displacement are captured by camera, and the corresponding background light field is extracted. Then, the matching pairs of feature points are extracted by fast rotation invariant feature algorithm, and then the mismatching pairs are eliminated by using the improved grid motion statistical feature algorithm. Finally, according to the characteristics of high precision in online 3D measurement, five equivalent phase-shifting deformed patterns are obtained by taking the value of the highest frequency of the statistical displacement, and then the 3D shape of online moving object is reconstructed by using equal step phase-shifting algorithm. Large numbers of experiments verify the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method, and compared with the traditional and online FTP algorithm, the proposed method is more robust and can reconstruct the 3D shape with higher accuracy.

    To solve the problem of the limited sensitivity, which is due to the poor interaction between the analytes and the localized enhanced electromagnetic field, the terahertz microfluidic sensor based on a metamaterial absorber with the enhanced electromagnetic field interaction is proposed by introducing the microfluidics technology. Owing to the interaction of the sensor and terahertz waves, the magnetic dipole resonances are excited and two significant absorption peaks with the absorption rates over 98% are formed in the range of 0.4~1.4 THz. Meanwhile, with integrating the microfluidic channel, the interaction between the analytes and the localized enhanced electromagnetic field located in the Fabry-Pérot cavity is dramatically enhanced, and the sensor can reach the high sensitivity of 537 GHz/RIU. In addition, the unit cell is designed as the four-fold rotational symmetrical structure, so that the polarization-insensitivitive and the wide range of incident-angle-insensitive properties of the sensor are obtained. The results indicate that the proposed sensor has the characteristics of high sensitivity and polarization-independent, and it exhibits a promising application prospect in the field of label-free trace detection.

    In order to realize the free manipulation of terahertz beams, a multi-layer C-type unit structure is proposed to realize the phase control of the transmissionterahertz waves from 0 to 2π at the target frequency based on the Pancharatnam-Berry geometric phase theory. Based on the generalized Snell's law, 2-bit and 3-bit coding metasurfaces are constructed. The scattering angle of the transmissive terahertz beam can be controlled with the incidence of circular polarization wave. By using the Fourier convolution operation in the digital signal processing theory, the four-bit encoding convolution operation is performed on the coding metasurfaces of different periodic sequences to obtain a new coding sequence and realize the free adjustment of the transmission angle of the terahertz wave. The multi-layer C-encoded metasurface unit structure is used to perform rotary encoding to realize the 1st and 2nd order vortex phase plates and generate different orders of terahertz wave vortex beams.

    In order to study the infrared stealth effect of photonic crystal films in practical application scenarios, photonic crystal films and low emissivity films with mid- and far-infrared stealth performance were selected, and the engine compartment of a Jeep was taken as the object of study to analyze the effects of self-radiation and radiation from the reflected environment on the stealth effect. A photonic crystal film with mid- and far-infrared stealth effects was designed and fabricated, and then the effects of the films on the stealth effect of the engine compartment were tested during daytime and nighttime, respectively. The results show that solar radiation has less influence on the mid- and far-infrared stealth effect of photonic crystal films, and that photonic crystal films can better achieve object and background fusion. The work demonstrates that photonic crystals are better than low emissivity films in mid- and far-infrared stealth.

    At room temperature, CuO nanowires were prepared on Cu substrate by solution method. Subsequently ZnO nanoparticles were grown on the surface of the CuO nanowires by solvothermal method to construct CuO/ZnO composite nanowires heterostructures. The morphology, structure and element composition of samples were characterized by using scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, X-ray diffractometer and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The results show that CuO/ZnO composite nanowires are composed of ZnO nanoparticles and CuO nanowires. Under simulated sunlight, the photocatalytic performances of the samples were studied by using Methylene Blue (MB) solution as the simulated pollutant. As a result, compared with pure CuO nanowires, CuO/ZnO composite nanowires can make the photodegradation efficiency of MB solution up to 40%, and display better photocatalytic activity. The research on photocatalytic mechanism indicates that the enhancement of the photocatalytic activity of CuO/ZnO nanocomposites is mainly due to the p-n heterojunction formed by the combination of CuO and ZnO, which effectively promotes the separation of photogenerated carriers..
