Because the measurement accuracy of the diffuse radiation photoelectric sensor in the photoelectric insolation meter seriously affects the accuracy of the solar irradiance measurement, in order to reduce the scattering error,more accurate simulation of the diffuse radiation is needed for indoor calibration. Through the linear correlation analysis between the radiation attenuation rate and each meteorological factor in the day-by-day time scale, the daily horizontal solar scattering radiation model in Changchun area is obtained after multivariate linear regression fitting. The radiation attenuation caused by the scattering of water vapor and dust is simulated in the indoor verification system, and the indoor scattering environment simulation chamber is designed. The results show that the fitted values of the daily scattered radiation in the horizontal plane are well matched with the measured values. The measured values and fitted values are evenly distributed on both sides of the fitted line, and the correlation coefficient (R2) is above 0.8, indicating that the scattered radiation model has a good effect.

    In order to solve the problems of high peak-to-average ratio of traditional orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technology, complex-valued signal structure cannot be directly applied to intensity modulation direct detection system, Lifting Wavelet Transform (LWT) is applied to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM). The orthogonal wavelet basis is selected as the subcarrier. By predicting and updating the signal, the high and low frequencies of the signal are separated. Combined with the multiple reflection channel model of Visible Light Communication (VLC), the DCO-LWT-OFDM system model was established, and the iterative decomposition and renewal reconstruction formulas of LWT-OFDM signals were deduced. The performance of the DCO-LWT-OFDM system was simulated and verified by experiments. Simulation results show that in a 4 m×4 m×3 m indoor space, when the bit error rate of the system is 10-4, the performance of the DCO-LWT-OFDM system is about 5 dB higher than that of the DCO-FFT-OFDM system, and the overall efficiency is improved by 70%. When the system peak-to-average ratio is 10 dB, the value of complementary cumulative distribution function of DCO-FFT-OFDM system is close to 10-1, and the value of complementary cumulative distribution function of DCO-LWT-OFDM system is 0. In the experimental verification, 1 W LED lamp beads were selected to build the point-to-point DCO-LWT-OFDM VLC system on the optical guide, the transmission distance was 20 cm, the system modulation error rate was 11.4 dB, and the reliability could reach 10-4. This paper provides an effective way to improve the transmission rate of visible light communication, reduce the bit error rate and restrain the system PAPR.

    A method of fiber Bragg grating time-division multiplexing intensity demodulation based on Sagnac fiber ring is presented. The time-multiplexing sensing system, consisted of the several FBG gratings with the same central-wavelength, can demodulate the signals by observing the intensity changes of the output spectrum of the FBG gratings. In the signal processing module, the wavelet analysis and Gaussian simulation algorithm are combined to demodulate the system signal together. The experimental results show that the signal-to-noise ratio of the system signal is increased by about 36% from 8.06 dB to 11.7 dB, which effectively improves the anti-interference ability of the system and the detection accuracy for the external parameters. The proposed method effectively increases the number of fiber Bragg grating sensors in the demodulation system with less cost and can be widely applied to various sensor systems or parameter detection systems.

    pulse width modulation technology is proposed. Bilevel pulse width modulation is analyzed in terms of bandwidth requirement, junction capacitance and error performance, and compared with non return to zero on key modulation, pulse position modulation and digital pulse interval modulation.The results show that the two-level pulse width modulation and the non-return-to-zero on-off keying modulation have the same time slot error rate, but the additional power consumption is only M/2 of the non-return-to-zero on-off keying modulation, and M is the modulation order. Although the bilevel pulse width modulation requires higher signal-to-noise ratio compared with pulse position modulation and digital pulse interval modulation, the additional power consumption is only half of that of pulse position modulation and digital pulse interval modulation, and the bandwidth requirement is also less than that of pulse position modulation and digital pulse interval modulation, it has great advantages in power and bandwidth sensitive visible light communication system.

    The optical loss caused by Waveguide Sidewall Roughness (SWR) of Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) is one of the restrictions to the adoptions of silicon photonic integrated circuits. In this paper, the anisotropic SWR of an SOI waveguide is measured by Conformal Laser Scanning Microscope (CLSM) and with introduction of a Three-dimensional (3D) anisotropic SWR, the traditional theoretical model for defining the Optical Propagation Loss (OPL) coefficient, so that a more accurate theoretical model is obtained. Numerical simulations show that the waveguide structure determined Correlation Length (CL) and the SWR have the synchronous effects on the OPL. Fabry-Perot (F-P) cavity modulation resonance output is used to accurately measure the OPL, and the measured values are agreeable with the simulation result, implying the improved model has more believability. For a waveguide with a 4 μm width, when the average horizontal and vertical SWR values are 22 nm and 23 nm, respectively, the simulation results of OPL coefficient for both TE- and TM-mode are 4.5~5.0 dB/cm, while the experimental result is 4.9 dB/cm. Hence, the outcomes and conclusion obtained are very valuable to be referred for research and development of SOI waveguide devices.

    To solve the measurement problems of fiber-optic strain sensors caused by temperature sensitivity, a hybrid temperature-strain dual-parameter based on fiber Bragg grating and multimode interference of hollow core fiber was proposed. The sensor is composed of a hollow core fiber fused between two single mode fibers, and the inner diameter of the hollow core fiber is smaller than the core of the single mode fibers, besides, on the core of one single mode fiber, near the fiber end, a fiber Bragg grating is pre-written. The hollow core fiber has a length of centimeters, in which, the optical wave is propagating in a multimode form. Combining the different responsitivities of the hollow core fiber and fiber Bragg grating to the temperature and the strain, the two parameters can be simultaneously demodulated by solving of the dual-parameter coupling matrix, and the problem of temperature-strain cross sensitivity of a single fiber Bragg grating or hollow core fiber sensor can be effectively solved. A hybrid fiber Bragg grating- hollow core fiber sensor was fabricated by using of a fiber Bragg grating with a center wavelength of 1 550.172 nm and a hollow fiber of 2.5 cm long and inner diameter of 5 μm.

    A polyaniline film micro-nano optical fiber liquid hydrogen ion concentration probe is proposed, and the hydrogen ion concentration sensing characteristics of this fiber probe are investigated. The sensing part consists of a single-mode fiber, a small-core-diameter fiber and a single-mode fiber pair fusion spliced together, and polyaniline material is coated on the small-core-diameter fiber as a sensitive film. Firstly, a theoretical analysis of the sensing principle of the fiber optic probe and the structure change mechanism of the polyaniline main chain was conducted. Then, the effect of different film thicknesses on the sensing characteristics of the fiber optic probe was verified and analyzed by hydrogen ion concentration sensing experiments. Finally, experimental interference tests on the change of liquid refractive index were completed and the response-recovery time and stability performance of the probe were evaluated. The experimental results show that the main chain structure of polyaniline changes under the action of hydrogen ions. The interference spectrum of the fiber optic probe drifts in the short-wave direction with the increase of hydrogen ion concentration, and the detection range increases with the rise of polyaniline film thickness, while the sensitivity and linearity decrease significantly. The sensitivity of the fiber optic probe is -15.74 nm/mol/L for the hydrogen ion concentration range of 10-6~10-1 mol/L, and the response and recovery time are 25 s and 35 s, respectively. The experiments verify the change of polyaniline film’s optical properties after reacting with hydrogen ions and provide a new method for liquid hydrogen ion concentration detection. This fiber optic hydrogen ion concentration probe also has the advantages of high concrete film strength, simple fabrication, and low cost.

    In order to realize dynamic and reconfigurable optical chaotic logic operations, a specific technical scheme based on Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) feedback by its own light and linear electro-optic modulation effect has been proposed. The normalized injection current is modulated as logic input, the transverse electric field is modulated as control signal, and the logic output is demodulated by the difference between the average value and the threshold value of the x-polarized light intensity from the output of VCSEL. By transforming the logic operation relationship between control signal and logic input, the system can switch freely among basic logic operations such as NOT, AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR and XNOR. When the code width is 600 ps and the noise intensity is as high as 2.75×109, the success probability of the logic operation still equals 1, indicating that the system has good anti-noise performance. And when the noise intensity equals 2.5×109, the success probability always equals 1 if the code width is at least 579 ps. The above results have great reference value for the development of fast and stable combinational logic operation devices.

    Aiming at these problems of unclear targets, unobvious details, and lower resolution of images captured by imaging equipment under foggy conditions, an image dehazing algorithm based on atmospheric veil constraints and piecewise adjustment was proposed. Firstly, basic unequal relation of the atmospheric veil was mapped to plane model of square and its inscribed circle to obtain the constrained initial atmospheric veil. Then saturation approximation was used to get a rough atmospheric veil to blur the edge information. Meanwhile, gradient constraint was also introduced to detect the edge cost, which was utilized to correct initial atmospheric veil. In order to improve the distortion of images with close region and the incomplete defogging of images with distant region, an adaptive piecewise adjustment function was proposed to optimize the atmospheric veil. Finally, a clear image was obtained by the restoration module. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can be applied to all kinds of images, and has better defogging effect compared to some classic algorithms。It not only maintains the original images'characteristics, but also obtains the restored image with bright, clear and natural colors, and has advantages in various indicators.

    Limited by industrial design thoughts, the traditional optoelectronic imaging technique has already reached its performance limitation. So that it is difficult to meet the increasing application demands in the information era. The Computational Imaging Technology (CIT) is the inevitable development of the information era. By deeply coupled with mathematical calculations and signal processing in the process of information acquisition, transmission and interpretation, the bottlenecks in physical information obtaining, modeling and solving are effectively broken by CIT. And the qualitative improvement in dimensions, scale and resolution of information are achieved. Although CIT is rapidly developing, its research layout is fragmented and decentralized, and there is no systematic system to lead the technology development. Therefore, in this paper, the concept and connotation of CIT are condensed, and the CIT system is established. Furthermore the basic commonality problems and key technologies to be solved are analyzed, especially the problem of nonlinear imaging model. The four typical imaging requirements of distance, resolution, field of view and system size are analyzed.

    In order to solve the problems of poor imaging quality, complex structure and large volume of existing dual-band common aperture cameras, a visible/long-wave infrared dual-color optical system was proposed. Simultaneous imaging is achieved by sharing the front-end reflection structure in the two bands and adding a dichroic beam splitter on the back of the main mirror, thereby ensuring the compactness of the system structure. The influence of the dichroic beam splitter on the infrared band imaging was analyzed in detail, as well as the influence of different angles of the dichroic beam splitter from vertical direction. The correct system of long wave infrared band and the image plane were eccentrically processed by -2.39 mm, so the image quality of the infrared band was greatly improved. The validity of the analysis conclusion was verified by the field test imaging. The results show that the system has loose tolerances, simple structure, and a few optical components. This system has the advantages of easy processing, installation, and strong engineering feasibility, which can effectively improve the target detection and recognition capabilities of the camera.

    An single fiber scanning endoscopic imaging system was studied in this work. A single mode fiber is driven by a piezoelectric tube with a diameter of 1 mm. The light from the fiber illuminates the target area along spiral lines, while the scattered light is collected to build an image. It is known that the precise control of the fiber movement is significantly important to the imaging quality. Researchers have found that the fiber should return back to the origin after it finished the spiral scan. Since the system can not work for imaging during the fiber return period, it is important for the scanning fiber to retreat to the origin as quick as possible. This is the key point to improve the imaging efficiency. At the same time, the residual vibrations have a great influence on the imaging quality of the subsequent scan, especially at the central area. In order to address the above problems, a theoretical mechanical model was established to describe the fiber scan. And the forced vibration behavior was analyzed by solving the equations. Then an active braking scheme was proposed to stop the fiber damping by applying appropriate voltage signals to the PZT tube. The fiber braking simulations based on finite element analysis also confirmed the feasibility of the active braking. Finally, the actual experiments show that the fiber scanning imaging efficiency was improved from 0.629 to 0.897, an increase of about 1.4 times, by optimization of the braking signal. Simultaneously, the image distortion at the central area disappeared and the imaging quality was also improved. This study should be helpful for the ultra-fine multi-modal endoscopes, OCT, and industrial endoscope detection fields.

    By analyzing the relationship between the correlation coefficient of adjacent subsets and the quality of speckle patterns, a new speckle quality assessment parameter with a fixed range called mean adjacent zero mean normalized cross correlation is proposed, which can be used to assess the quality of single speckle pattern. By comparing the proposed mean adjacent zero mean normalized cross correlation, Shannon entropy and mean intensity gratitude, the stability of the proposed method is founded. The experiment results show that as the mean adjacent zero mean normalized cross correlation increases, the mean error and standard deviation in the displacement measurement decreases, and the quality of the simulated speckle pattern become better. When the maximum mean error of the speckle pattern in the displacement experiment is 0.01 pixel, mean adjacent zero mean normalized cross correlation is stable at around 0.90, while the other parameters vary greatly. These results prove that mean adjacent zero mean normalized cross correlation is effective and more suitable for quality assessment of single speckle pattern compared with other quality assessment parameters.

The results of hydrogen sensitivity test show that the sensitivity of the interferometer in the range of 0~2% (vol%) hydrogen concentration is 1.746 4 nm/%, fast response and good reusability. Two interferometers with small cavity length difference are connected in parallel through a 2×2 coupler, and the sensitivity is amplified by using the optical vernier effect. The combined sensor has a high hydrogen sensitivity of 15.729 3 nm/% and the two interferometers can achieve temperature self compensation, which greatly reduces the temperature cross sensitivity.This research provides a useful exploration for the preparation of hydrogen sensors with high sensitivity, low cost and wide application range.
