    A fiber-optic interferometer based on fringe projection and sinusoidal phase modulation(SPM)for three-dimensional surface profile measurement was presented. It made use of Young’s double pinhole interference principle to achieve fringe projection. And sinusoidal phase modulation was accomplished by driving piezoelectric transducer using a cosine voltage single. To eliminate the external disturbances such as mechanical vibration and temperature fluctuation, a phase control system was proposed by detecting the phase drift and giving real-time compensation. The phase error was reduced to 6.8 mrad after compensating. A high phase stability of the interference fringe can be achieved. By measuring the surface profile of a glass plate for two times over an interval of 10 min, the repeatability is about 0.05 wave. Experimental results show that the proposed interferometer can be used for surface profile measurement with a high precision.

    The pedestal components in output signals of spatial filtering velocimeter can be completely eliminated by differential method theoretically. However, because of varying amount of radiation energy incident onto the photodetector, some pedestal components still occur in the output signals, making it difficult to pick up desired signals, especially signals having very low frequencies close to zero. To remove the pedestal components in output of differential filters, the configuration of a COMS-type differential spatial filter in spatial filtering velocimeter was optimized. Every possible configuration of a differential filter was listed, and several typical configurations were chosen to analyze in detail by carrying out experiments. The quality of the output signals were analyzed in the aspects of power spectrum and signal-to-noise ratio under the condition of uniformed and non-uniformed illumination respectively. By comparison of quality of output signal from these several typical spatial filters, a most suitable configuration was obtained. This optimized configuration can noticeably eliminate the pedestal components in output signals.

    For the purpose of scanning and measuring 3D surfaces efficiently, a non-contact optical coordinate measuring system was established by installing a point laser sensor on the mobile terminal of Z axis of a CMM through a probe head. As a result of converting one dimensional distance values of the laser sensor to three dimensional coordinates of the measuring points on the surface, a calibration method of the space vector of laser beam based on a spherical surface was proposed. In the calibration procedure, the trajectory of the laser sensor can be completed by controlling the movement of X, Y and Z axes of the CMM and several measuring points on the spherical surface can be collected by the sensor, in which the outputs of the grating rulers and the sensor were all recorded. Based on the above and the constraint equation of the spherical surface, a set of over-determined nonlinear equations was set up and the matrix least square method was used to solve the unit direction vector of the laser beam. Finally, a sphere with known diameter was measured by the optical coordinate measuring system at 10 different directions. Through calculation, the measuring errors are all smaller than 0.05 mm, which manifests the effectiveness of the calibration method proposed in the paper and lays the foundation of measuring spatial free surfaces rapidly and accurately.

    Relative movement model of two satellites was mainly researched in space-based surveillance by geometry principle and vector calculation tool. On one hand, satellite orbit can be described clearly using a kind of producing rule of satellite orbit that is different of orbit elements and solving mechanics equation. On the other hand, relative directions of two satellites in the movement are researched by combining opto-electrical tracking system. Corresponding results of satellite orbit, relative distance, azimuth angle, pitching angle, azimuth angle velocity and pitching angle velocity were achieved after computing relative movement of two sun synchronous orbit satellites on different planes and two geosynchronous orbit satellites on the same planes. Analysis results show that this method is reasonable and provides qualitative and semi-quantitative reference for some physics question and key technologies in space-based surveillance such as design of satellite orbit, selection of work region, design of surveillance system and acquisition tracking and pointing control system.

Furthermore, under the premise that guarantees the bandwidth of stabilized platform, the Kalman observers under two different sampling rates were designed. Finally, the digital simulation experiment was done, and the result shows that angular rate estimation precision is 0.098 9 (°)/s with 2 000 Hz sampling rate, better than 0.301 3 (°)/s which sampling rate is 200 Hz. Seeker bandwidth which under two kinds of sample rates is 59.6 rad/s, and the seeker disturbance rejection rate is 1.5%.

    Using the Si substrate and the HfO2 single layer as the examples, the power spectral density (PSD) of the optical surface was calculated and characterized. First, the method that calculates the 1D power spectral density(PSD1D), 2D power spectral density(PSD2D) and isotropic power spectral density (PSDISO) was introduced. Then, the surface morphologies of the Si substrate and the HfO2 single layer were measured using atomic force microscopy with four scan areas, for example, 1 μm×1 μm, 5 μm×5 μm, 10 μm×10 μm, 20 μm×20 μm. Using a MATLAB program, the PSDISOs of the different scan area were calculated. And the PSDISO-Combined over a larger spatial frequency range was given using the geometric mean of these PSDISOs. The result shows that the PSDISO-Combined of Si substrate before and after HfO2 coating were similar for the low spatial frequency region but quite different for the middle and high frequency region. The poly-crystallized microstructure of the HfO2 coating is the main reason for the observed PSD difference between the Si substrate and the HfO2 coating. The σISO and σSTD were calculated and compared. The results are quite similar, which proves the correctness of the proposed method for the PSD calculation.

    Layer peeling algorithm is a common method of fiber Bragg grating(FBG) parameter reconstruction, which can be used to demodulate the inhomogeneous strain applying on FBG. The study found that conventional layer peeling algorithm cannot figure out the exact value of complex coupling coefficient, to increase the non-uniform strain demodulation precision, a improved layer peeling algorithm called complex coupling coefficient amplitude correction method was proposed. The improved method retained the phase of coupling coefficient, corrected the amplitude of coupling coefficient, and used the modified complex coupling coefficient on layer peeling calculation of the reflection spectrum. The following 4 reflection spectrums of FBG were obtained by the transfer matrix simulating method: without strain, strain increasing linearly, strain decreasing linearly and strain of quadratic curve, the strain results were calculated by both the conventional method and the improved method. The experiment shows that the strain results of the improved method are consistent with the input strain; With different theoretical strains, mean of the largest error of improved method is about 1/5 of conventional method, the mean of root mean square error is about 1/7 of the conventional one, the error is obviously much smaller.

    The effects of temperature on dispersion, mode effective area and nonlinearity of an ethanol-filled index-guiding hexagon photonic crystal fiber were investigated using the vectorial beam propagation method. The results indicate that temperature has a significant influence on dispersion at the wavelengths of flattened dispersion, the bandwidth of flattened dispersion increases with temperature increasing. At the short wavelengths of flattened dispersion, the temperature has greater influence on the dispersion and the dispersion becomes more flattened. The impact of temperature on the mode effective area and the nonlinearity is larger at long wavelengths than at short wavelengths of flattened dispersion. At a given wavelength of flattened dispersion, dispersion and nonlinearity increase with temperature increasing. The result provides theoretical reference for designing novel optical communication components or optical sensors.

    Atmospheric turbulence can cause random variations of the refractive index, resulting in a spatial inhomogeneity. When a high order Bessel Gaussian beam is propagating through the atmospheric turbulence, spatial inhomogeneity can bring about the change of photon wave function that causes the disperse of the orbital angular momentum to form different photon states. Under the Rytov approximation, when the high order Bessel beam was propagating in a slant-path atmospheric turbulence, the weight of the spiral harmonic component of the beam energy was calculated. And then, the impact on the spiral spectrum of the beam propagating in the slant ways, caused by refractive index structure constant, the wavelength of the beam, the zenith, orbital angular momentum, the receiver aperture, spot size were discussed and compared and a series of concrete explanations were given. The research results show that with increasing refractive index structure constant and the zenith and with decreasing wavelength of the beam, the spectrum of the spiral harmonic main component reduces and the orbital angular momentum disperses more serious. The receiver aperture and spot size have little effect on the orbital angular momentum disperse.

    Square-wave modulation with various distortion will influence the outputs of the digital closed-loop Fiber Optic Gyroscope(FOG) when measuring angular velocity. Based on Fourier series, square-wave modulation models and signal demodulation models for closed-loop FOG including distortion noise were built in this paper. Simulation studies were analyzed for the output errors caused by different modulation distortion signals. A new demodulation method of bipolar return to zero pulse of square-wave for the elimination of errors in output signals of FOG was proposed. The simulation results show that the distortions, including phase distortion, pulse width distortion, harmonic distortion and noise comb pulse, have a great influence on outputs of FOG when using conventional demodulation methods of square-wave. Measuring the relative errors of angular velocity is up to 1%. But the errors are effectively eliminated when using bipolar return to zero pulse of square-wave demodulation, and are one order of magnitude lower than the errors in conventional demodulation methods. The simulation proves that the demodulation method of bipolar return to zero pulse of square-wave is very meaningful for improving measurement accuracy and stability of the digital closed-loop FOG.

    Thirty Meter Telescope′s tertiary mirror is an elliptical ceramic glass reflector whose major axis is 3.594 m and minor axis is 2.536 m. Flexure structure was widely used in the mirror′s support structure to release all the other degree of freedom except those along the support direction. The design decoupled the axial and lateral support and reduce the thermal stress due to the material mismatch. The higher compliance would benefit the telescope′s mirror surface under distortion, but the buckling criteria load would decrease correspondingly, either. So the limit load of each flexure structure should be calculated as the design input. And the buckling safety factor SFBuckling was analyzed for each part under the limit loads. Eigenvalue buckling analysisand nonlinear buckling analysis were both taken and compared. Based on the analysis results, the design were optimized iteratively to achieve balanced values of compliance for all the flexure. The mirror surface error under thermal distortion met the design requirements.

    To study the ballistic missile tracking performance in boost phase based on infrared early warning satellites system, Posterior Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (PCRLB) was proposed as a measurement index. After modeling ballistic target motion by 8-state gravity turn model and locating target position by dual satellites' bearing-only passive localization, PCRLB was used to evaluate the effects of factors, including target motion model accuracy, measurement accuracy, sampling period, detection probability and false alarm number conditioned by measurement origin uncertainty, on tracking timeliness and accuracy. One simulation example showed the extent and rules of said factors on position and tracking performance of velocity. It can contribute to the anti-ballistic missile operation by early warning satellite, the relationship modeling between tactical and technical indices and the optimal design of satellite-based infrared detector.

    Based on CFD/IR numerical simulations, the effects of aspect ratio as well as relative space out of mixing duct on helicopter aerodynamics and infrared radiation characteristics were studied systematically. Conclusions can be drawn as follows according to the present simulation conditions: In comparison with IR suppressor with oval outlet, suppressor with rectangular outlet owns a stronger ejecting capacity, and its 3-5 μm infrared radiation intensity is relatively lower, which is exemplified by the fact that the maximum infrared radiation intensity decreased by 10.7% by changing the shape of mixing duct outlet from oval to rectangle. With the aspect ratio of mixing duct exit rising from 2.2 to 4.6, the pumping ratios of the IR suppressors come to increase, but the total pressure recovery coefficients of those suppressors only change slightly. It can be the instrument of enhancing the pumping capacity when the relative space out of mixing duct is extended, which hardly contributes to greater pressure loss on the other hand. Whether the aspect ratio of the mixing duct exit is increased or relative space out of mixing duct is extended, the infrared radiation intensity(3-5 μm) for IR suppressors is going to decrease gradually in both horizontal and vertical planes.

    A compact AO Q-switched dual-wavelength laser operated in 1.5 μm eye-safe region was demonstrated via stimulated Raman scatting of a-cut YVO4 crystal within an end-pumped dual-wavelength Nd:GYSGG laser cavity. The in-band pumping absorption peak and coefficient were measured to conduct efficient pumping, thus overcoming the drawback of short thermal focal length of Nd:GYSGG crystal and scaling up the eye-safe output. 1.44 W of simultaneous output at 1 497 and 1 516 nm was obtained under absorbed pump power of 17.1 W at the pulse repetition rate of 20 kHz, corresponding to a conversion efficiency of 8.4%. The 1 497 nm and 1 516 nm fractions are 0.55 and 0.89 W, respectively, measured after split by a prism. The beam quality factor M2 is 2.4 at the maximum output. Compared with 808-nm traditional pumping, both the laser output power and the beam quality are greatly improved.

    The rate equations of ytterbium-doped double-clad fiber lasers were solved by numerical simulation under principles of fiber interference loop and stimulated Brillouin scattering. The relationships between pulse repetition rate, pump power and couple ratio of the coupler which constructed the fiber interference loop were obtained. The relationships between average output power, pulse energy, pump power and couple ratio were also obtained by exploiting the model based on photon balance. A self-Q-switched Yb3+-doped double-clad fiber laser was employed experimentally to test how the pump power affect average power, pulse energe and pulse repetition rate respectively. The results show that both average power and pulse repetition rate can be increased by increasing pump power, and the increase of pulse energy needs to choose appropriate couple ratio other than the increase of pump power. It also shows that the second-order Stokes pulse will be stimulated if the pump power is high enough.

    The optical method of differential laser Doppler for the ship wake detection was studied. The characteristics of the backscattering light for the bubble and turbulence were experimentally studied. The velocity of the ship wake field was obtained by the laser differential Doppler method, which is in coincidence with the actual value, and the relative error is less than 1.5%. The experimental results show that the angle between two coherent beams has obvious effects on the frequency shift. And the frequency shift increases as the angle increases. The frequency shift spectra for the bubble are characterized by a universal profile and at the low frequency end. The full width at half peak of the profile becomes larger as the field intensity increases, which can be seen as a criterion of the wake recognition.

    Remaining absorbing layers have a significant influence on the shock effects of metal samples in laser shock processing(LSP). However, the influence laws are still pending. In this paper, the experiments of LSP were conducted with different materials as the absorbing layers. The influence of the thicknesses of the absorbing layer was also studied. To guarantee that there were remaining absorbing layers on the target surface after shock, the laser parameters were carefully chosen. The influence laws of the remaining absorbing layers on the laser shock effect were researched by measuring the laser shock induced-pit sizes and the mechanical properties of the shocked zones. Furthermore, the shock wave signals on the back of the metal samples were tested by PVDF detector. Experimental results show that, the remaining absorbing layers can attenuate shock wave seriously. Therefore, the shock effects are weakened accordingly. Through the experimental and theoretical research, it can be found that there exist an ideal absorbing layer with "the optimal acoustic impedance", when the confinement layer and metal sample are determined. With the ideal absorbing layer, we can get the strongest shock effect. For achieving good results in LSP, the absorbing layer material should be carefully chosen according to theconfinement layer and metal sample. In the same time, the thickness of an absorbing layer should be controlled reasonably. The results of this paper can provide guidance for choosing the most appropriate absorbing layer for different metal samples in LSP.

The shocking parameters were determined according to the analysis of the oblique laser shock model. After being obliquely laser shocked, the surface residual stress and micro-hardness of the aero-engine fan shaft were investigated and analyzed. Besides, the rotary bending fatigue tests and fracture analysis were also conducted. The experimental results show that the micro-hardness of the fan shaft increased about 11% by laser shock processing, which modified the inhomogeneity of the surface residual stress, and the rotary bending fatigue life of fan shaft increased by 160% after LSP. The fracture analysis show that the location of fatigue initiation migrated to a inner place of materials and the crack growth speed of fan shaft reduced by LSP, which is necessary for improving the fatigue life.

    The effects of mixture gas ratio, gas pressure, charging voltage and output mirror reflectivity on laser pulse characteristics were studied. High energy was achieved when the ratio and output mirror reflectivity are 10∶1 and 30%, respectively. The energy can be increased by raising charging voltage under the normal glow discharge condition, and there exists an optimum gas pressure for each voltage to obtain the highest energy. As for laser pulse width, it can be shortened by increasing mixture ratio and total gas pressure, while stretched by increasing charging voltage and output mirror reflectivity. Taking both laser energy and pulse width, the variation trend of laser peak power is similar with the output energy on the whole, but the parameters of mixture gas and output mirror which make the energy or the peak power reaching maximum are different.

    The spaceborne laser altimeter has the advantages of divergence angle of milli arc magnitude and no penetration effect on ice surface, which are suitable for monitoring the icesheet changing of polar region. Using elevation data of GLAS laser altimeter, the ice sheet changing of the region above 2 000 m of Greenland was obtained and analyzed through the crossing and repeat pairs over the time span of March 2003 to March 2009. The novel method was developed and applied to calculate crossing pairs in the entire Greenland where the latitudinal span was very large. After coarse error elimination and time series analysis, a positive elevation change rate of 3.80 cm/year, and a standard deviation of 0.91 cm were obtained, and change trends from the crossing and repeat pairs were agreed. The number of repeat pairs was much larger than that of cross pairs, approximately 4-15 times, while its spatial distribution was very non-uniform. The conclusion is that on elevation change monitoring in Greenland’s ice sheet,the crossing pairs is more fit for large zone, while the repeat ones suitable for small area.

    Traditional optical methods which are used to measure the Smile effect of laser diode arrays(LDA) have problems such as high precision optical system setting up, high operator quality requirements, vast and complex subsequent data processing, long measuring time and so on. In this paper, a new method that scanned the N side of mounted LDA chips with the stylus of a mechanical contacting profiler was proposed to measure the Smile effect of LDA quickly. The measuring result was compared with the Smile effect measured by a traditional optical method. And the comparision indicates that their shapes are uniform and the difference is less than 1 micrometre. Using a profiler to measure the Smile effect of LDA takes little time less than 1 minute. The method can provide feedbacks quickly in chips bonding process to minimize the Smile effect, and can be easily integrated into high production lines to monitor the Smile effect of laser diode arrays in real time.

And the extinction characteristics of it at conventional infrared bands(3-5 μm, 8-12 μm) and representative wavelength of laser(1.06 μm) were calculated later. The results indicate that the mass extinction coefficient(MEC) of the smoke at 337 μm is smaller by 1-2 orders of magnitude than that of other wavelengths or wavebands. Then, the transmission experiments about two kinds of smoke with different diameters of graphite particles were conducted respectively at those wavelengths and wavebands mentioned above. Finally, the MECs at 337 μm, 1.06 μm, 3-5 μm and 8-12 μm were deduced, and corresponding experimental results were contrasted. The MECs of two kinds of smoke at 337 μm are all less than 0.045 m2/g, and the values at other wavelengths or wavebands are further higher than it. The final results demonstrate that THz wave of 337 μm has stronger penetration capacity for smoke.

To ensure the high accuracy photometry of 50 BiN telescopes, the detailed stray light analysis was described. The accurate simulation model of 50 BiN telescopes was built in TracePro and the point source transmittance value of the original optical system was calculated. The vanes inside the primary baffle were designed according to characteristic of the telescopes. Stray light uniformity was analyzed intensively, which played an important role in "differential photometry" system, stray light uniformity on focal plane was analyzed with MATLAB. These vanes were tested and verified to be effective with MATLAB and TracePro. The analysis results indicate that, at different incident angles, the stray light irradiance standard deviation on CCD focal plane is improved with the help of vanes. For the stray light sources located at the off-axis angle lager than 30°, the PSTs of the optical system are approximately 10-10 orders of magnitude. With the help of the vanes inside the primary baffle, the PSTs are declined 3-4 orders. These results show that vanes could improve the ability of stray light suppression and apply to the other telescopes in 50 cm binocular network as well as other astronomical telescopes.

    The simple approximated analytic expression for the far-field divergence angle of Gaussian beam diffracted by an annular aperture was derived based on the Fraunhofer diffraction theory and by the approximate of the diffraction integration kernel function. For diffraction aperture with different diameters and obscuration ratios (OR), the analytic expression was compared by strict Fraunhofer diffraction expression, and the far-field divergences solved by these two expressions were nearly identical. The error was no more than 2.7%. Compared with the traditional method of getting the beam divergence by numerical integration, the troublesome integral was avoided, but a relative high precision was kept through this approximated formula. The analytic formula was effective on condition that the Gaussian beam waist diameter was more than or equal to 3.5 times the obscuration diameter, and less than or equal to the aperture diameter. In an actual engineering application, especially the space laser communication optical antenna with the characteristics of large-aperture and small-OR, the establishing conditions generally are satisfied.

Results show that AO systems can obtain the correction capability close to the ideal correction of DM, which indicates the correction capability of DM are utilized fully. Additionally, because the number of DM eigenmodes is equal to the number of DM actuators, it is not necessary to determine the required number of modes no matter how the strength of the aberrations is. The convergence speed of AO system only depends on the number of actuators of DM.

    In order to enhance the image quality of the detector under the condition of Low Level Light(LLL) signal, a method of high sensitivity imaging based on Digital Micromirror Device(DMD) coding Hadamard Transform was proposed. On the basis of the assumptions that the noise of the detector and the signal as well as the noise measured each time are both independent, the influence of the noise to the SNR was analyzed in both HT coding imaging and classical imaging. The result was deduced that the improvement of SNR was related to the length n of coding templates in coding imaging, and the value was sqrt(n)/2 times of that in classic imaging. In order to reduce the encoding time of the image, the partitions coding method was applied. Results show that, compared with classical imaging modalities, the use of partitions coding Hadamard transform imaging significantly improves the signal to noise ratio of the image, while the coding time of high-resolution images is shortened.

Therefore, the way of extracting polarization information is particularly important. Mueller matrix, the coefficient matrix which shows the change of polarization state before and after light shining on object, not only has a closely relation to the material itself, but also contains quantities of polarization information. What忆s more, Mueller matrix has 16 elements each containing different information. Consequently, an adequate used on these information plays a catalytic role in target identification, information enhancement, as well as separation of target and background. Through presenting a method to acquire Mueller matrix image, a comparison was made with Dop(degree of polarization) information and at last the result indicated the value of Mueller matrix image in application of polarization imaging. The conclusion suggest that, compared with Dop image, the image processed by Mueller matrix has more integrity information, so as to provide a preferable foundation for pattern recognition later.

    The focal plane size of modern CCD/CMOS camera is getting bigger and bigger, that is to say, more and more pixels have been integrated on the focal plane array. Under this advance in technology, people can take a picture with higher resolution and higher dynamic range. The image contains much more information of the real world. A serious problem of dealing with such kind of image is that, although the image has high dynamic range, people cannot display all the information of it. Certain technologies have been applied on modern cameras to solve this problem, but they still have some defects. A novel high dynamic range image enhancement algorithm was raised, which used the guided image filter to separate the image and deal with the detail layer as well as the base layer. The high frequency information needs to be enhanced to highlight the detail of the image on the detail layer. Meanwhile, the base layer controls the gray scale contrast which also needs to be processed with certain strategy. The color saturation can be controlled by both two layers. The raw high dynamic range image can be enhanced both through the detail layer and the base layer to improve its digital detail, gray scale rearranging and the color contrast. Detailed analysis of the procedure and figure demonstration were illustrated to show the ability of this algorithm.
