Organic Light Emitting Device(OLED) has been a promising new research area that has received a lot of attention in the recent. In this paper,the OLED was fabricated using spin LSMO substrate. The electrode was made of La1-xSrxMnO3(LSMO) thin films by RF magnetron sputtering with SrTiO3 (100) substrate. In order to increase light transmittance ratio of LSMO film, the substrate was double-sided polished. The structure was LSMO/NPB/Alq3/CsF/Mg:Ag. Light was emitted at above 14 V. The brightness of device was the most at 25 V. The characteristic brightness, voltage and current of these devices were investigated with the magnetic field. The brightness of device was improved 10% with 150 mT. The photovoltaic character was little affected by the magnetic field in the device using LSMO substrate. This phenomenon was related on the ratio of single exciton and triplet exciton in the emissive layer. it would then be possible to preferentially form triplets or singlets by controlling the spin polarizations of the injected carriers. As Alq3 belonged to singlet materials, the brightness of device was improved.

    ZnO/ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal and annealed method. X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and photoluminescence(PL) spectroscopy were used to characterize the synthesized and annealed ZnO/ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles. The results indicate that the synthesized nanoparticles are mainly composed of hexagon wurtzite ZnO and cubic ZnFe2O4, and the crystal quality is improved by annealing treatment. It is observed that the intrinsic photoluminescence attributed to the recombination of photogenerated carriers of ZnO was obviously weakened after annealing process, which confirms that a ZnO/ZnFe2O4 heterojunction was formed which could improve the separation of photogenerated carriers. Photocatalytic test′s results show the photocatalytic activity of the annealed ZnO/ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles is better than the synthesized, and the photocatalytic degradation ratio of MO is 50.48% under 3 hours′ UV-illumination. The magnetic properties of the annealed ZnO/ZnFe2O4 were also investigated, the synthesized nanoparticles were paramagnetic at room temperature, and the annealed nanoparticles were ferromagnetic. In conclusion, the annealed ZnO/ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles may have a great potential in the magnetic photocatalytic fields.

    Exploration and application of the gas sensitive sensor material of metal oxide optics is a hot issue. The adsorption energy, adsorption distance, density of states and optical properties were studied from the plane wave ultra-soft pseudo-potential technology based on the density function theory(DFT). The results through simulation calculation of CO2 adsorbed on the anatase TiO2 (101) surface show that only containing oxygen vacancy surface can stably adsorb CO2 molecules; the higher of oxygen vacancy concentration, the more obvious adsorption effect. The adsorption energy is positive value when CO2 molecules horizontal adsorption on surface, the best adsorption model is CO2 molecules horizontal O-terminal dsorption on surface with two oxygen vacancies. Compared with the density of states, a new peak appears nearby the fermi level because of surface with oxygen vacancies and 2p electrons of CO2 molecules doping in surface. The transition probability, optical gas sensitive features, absorption coefficient and reflectivity can be improved in the low-energy scope of visible light.

    Czerny-Turner(C-T)spectrometer usually been used monochromators and spectral radiometers due to its compact structure and spherical mirrors. However, astigmatism greatly confines C-T spectrometer used in imaging spectrometers. Astigmatism-free methods were analyzed theoretically and verified experimentally under non-parallel grating illumination. As a result, astigmatism of C-T spectrometer can be corrected under convergent or divergent grating illumination. When the cosine square ratio of grating incidence to difference angle was more than 1, divergent illumination can correct astigmatism. Conversely, when it was less than 1, convergent illumination can correct astigmatism.

    According to the accuracy, stability and fast property of algorithms, the numerical algorithms of the classical Mie scattering and Rayleigh scattering were presented in this paper. Compared the numerical results acquired from the Mie scattering theory and Rayleigh scattering theory by using Matlab with Wiscombe′s numerical results, the results acquired from Matlab programs were also accurate. According to Matlab numerical results, the forward light scattering distribution in a certain angle can be determined by Rayleigh scattering theory when the size parameter x is less than 0.3. The size distribution can also be determined. The algorithm of Rayleigh scattering theory is more efficient than the corresponding algorithm acquired from Mie scattering theory. This simplified method can provide theoretical support for online measuring micro particles when some test objects(the relative refractive index, particle type) are determined.

    In the distributed fiber-optic disturbance sensor system based-on Φ-OTDR, the frequency drift of laser directly results in low signal to noise ratio(SNR) of the system and further influences system location. In order to reduce the disturbance location error induced by laser frequency drift, a location algorithm was proposed through analyzing the error mechanics, which combines spectrum analysis with characteristic frequency selection. The characteristic frequency for location was achieved by comparing the SNR of the system owing to different frequency. Laboratory tests were established and the results indicate that the algorithm is efficient to disturbance location for the location and the performance of system has been enhanced.

    In order to find the appropriate quantum well number, the electrical and optical characteristics of InGaAsSb/AlGaAsSb laser diode with various QW numbers and contents were investigated using LASTIP simulation program. In the case of single QW, the total number of carriers injected into the QW will be small and the radiative recombination will be poor. When the number of QWs was increased into larger than 4, however, the optical performance started to degrade because of the uneven distribution of carrier concentration and the higher electron concentration in the p-side, which increased in the internal loss in the active region. Taking into account of the effect of QWs number on the epitaxy layers quality, the optimized number of InGaAsSb/AlGaAsSb 2 μm LDs was 2-3. The obtained results are beneficial to the design of the high performance 2 μm Sb-containing LDs.

    Designing stable and reliable THz lasers as well as reducing dimension of THz lasers have always been a hot research spot in THz field. Based on the rate equations, the model of optically pumped THz lasers has been built up. The effects of the operating temperature, the pressure in cavity, the dimension of cavity and the stability of pump laser on the output characteristics of optically pumped THz lasers have been simulated and analyzed. The results show that it is necessary to realize the reliable temperature control since the output of THz laser becomes more and more sensible for the higher pump power. In order to reduce the dimension of THz lasers, the output power of THz lasers could be ensured by appropriately increasing the pressure of working gas in THz cavity. THz output characteristics are more sensitive to the fluctuation of pump power and the drift of pump frequency for the lower power of pump laser. Consequently, the stability of pump laser should be controlled, especially for the stability of pump frequency.

    In order to realize the qualitative control of the ultrafast laser-induced changes trend and the quantitative control of the ultrafast laser-induced changes range in titanium, respectively, comparative ablation experiments by femtosecond, and picosecond-pulsed laser with different pulse durations were carried out on titanium. Then the influence of laser pulse duration varying on final surface morphology, ablation depth, chemical composition and microstructural state of the ablated titanium were analyzed by laser scanning confocal microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy, respectively. It is found that, as the laser pulse duration increases from femtosecond to picosecond scale, surface morphology quality of ablated titanium gets worse, chemical composition of final ablation products is more complex and also the microstructural state has a higher degree of amorphization. Finally, it is deduced that the occurrence of all above experimental results can be attributed to the more serious thermal and mechanical damages in material resulted from the enhanced heat accumulation effect in titanium with the pulse duration increasing.

    Temperature difference and satellite vibration lead to in-orbit space camera defocused and deteriorated image quality. The wave front coding technology can extend the depth of focus without changing the optical system structure, which makes MTF insensitive for defocus. The wave front coding technology was applied to TMC system. Optimized to the best surface type, the phase mask plate was placed in the exit pupil. The imaging characteristics of the original system and wave front coding system were analyzed and evaluated. And the phase parameter which was related to the extended ratio of depth of focus and image quality was aslo analyzed. Theory and simulation results show that the application of wave front coding technology on TMC system can be easy to extend the depth of focus. It is concluded that the wave front coding technology has high practical value to solve the imaging defocused.

    Existing static wedge interferometer can not achieve zero optical path difference, thereby affecting the accuracy and speed of spectral inversion. Therefore, a method of achieving zero optical path difference by improving the wedge structure was put forward. By improving the structure of the inclined surface, the wedge can be achieved on the incident light interference signal which contains zero optical path difference. By deducing and analyzing the optical path difference of the arbitrary wedge position, and the formula of spectral inversion was deduced. Using Zinc Selenide(ZnSe) materials design and processing of the wedge, interference signal and the optical path difference was simulated, and the process of spectral inversion was simulated.

    Aiming at the 110 m fully-steerable radio telescope(which is called QTT for short ) to be built in the future, in order to improve the main reflector precision, the traditional structural concepts were analyzed based on the best fit paraboloid. It is the uneven deformation of the reflector that results in the lower precision. It is mainly due to the following three aspects: the concentrated loads exist on the main reflecting surface, the back frame supporting system is unreasonable and the back frame structure has a poor performance. Based on this, the catching points of the secondary reflector supporting legs were changed, the space truss structure combining cones and quadrangular pyramids were adopted as the back frame structure design, and a kind of polar symmetry umbrella structure was proposed as the supporting system for the back frame structure. Finally the introduced scheme for the fully-steerable radio telescope significantly improved the main reflector precision, its maximal RMS was reduced to 0.306 mm. Compared with the fully-steerable radio telescope GBT which has the largest diameter in the world, the reflective surface area of QTT increases 10%, the surface precision improves 12.6% and the total weight decreases 40%. The QTT performance reaches the international advanced level.

    Coal fires burning caused serious environmental, economic and safety catastrophe in Wuda district, North China. The land cover change research helped to evaluate the extent of coal fire damage. The image data of Landsat8 satellite offered the possibility of detecting and studying land cover/use in coal fire area. Five subregions were divided from one Wuda image based on topographic, landform and land surface radiation characteristics. Corresponding to each subregion, five different decision tree models with different parameters were respectively constructed based on a general sole decision tree for the whole research area, which was built by spectral characteristics analysis, height, slope and infrared information. By contrasting with a general sole decision tree and other four common classification methods applied to the whole area, land cover accuracy of multi-subregions decision tree classification approach derived higher overall accuracy(87.63%) and Kappa coefficient(0.86) because subregions decreased land-cover confusions. In particular, the accuracy of building and coal ash classification mapping showed a marked increase.

    Relative pose estimation is a hot research topic in the community of robotic vision. 6 DOF pose transformation was estimated by two frames data. Several effective algorithms were proposed to guarantee the precision of the estimation which made full used of TOF camera. Iterative Closest Point(ICP) algorithm was used to estimate the pose transformation, in order to conquer the divergence problem of ICP, scaled Invariant Feature Transform(SIFT) feature pairs were employed to compute the initial value for ICP. The contrast of the image was increased for extracting the effective features by scaling the original gray image according to principle of statistics. Multiple frames were fused to improve the accracy of depth measurement based on the fact that the longer the exposure time was, the higher the accuracy was, and every pixels in the fused frame were captured with the longest valid exposure time. A methed for measuring the difference of two 6 DOF pose transformations was proposed, which was applied to track the iterations of ICP. The experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of the algorithms proposed in this paper.
