    Aerosols play a key role in climate change and air quality. The quantitative analysis of aerosol′s contribution relies on accurate measurements of aerosol optical properties and their vertical profiles. The High Spectral Resolution Lidar(HSRL) has the capability of spectrally discriminating molecular backscatter from aerosol backscatter by a narrow-band optical filter. Therefore aerosol extinction coefficient and aerosol backscatter coefficient can be retrieved independently without assumption of the aerosol lidar ratio.The research on aerosol classification method was conducted based on HSRL technique in this paper. According to published results of aerosol classification, a classification method based on aerosol optical properties was given and an aerosol classification look-up table was provided accordingly. Aerosol extinction coefficient, aerosol backscatter coefficient and depolarization ratio measured by HSRL in Qingdao during the spring of 2015 were used to classify aerosol types referring to the established aerosol classification look-up table. The results are consistent with the trajectory model HYSPLIT and aerosol analysis system NAAPS. Results of case studies demonstrate the method in this paper is capable to identify different aerosol types properly.

    In comparison with incremental and traditional absolute encoder, the single-ring absolute encoder processes more advantage. And the research of decoding system and algorithm are essential to the single-ring absolute encoder. In order to improve single-ring absolute photoelectric encoder′s circuit integration, response speed and accuracy, a decoding system was designed in this paper. Linear CCD was used in this system as the disc image receiving and photoelectric conversion device which also provided the basement of subdivision algorithm. And FPGA was used to achieve circuit control and decoding algorithm. A new decoding algorithm was also proposed in this paper. On the one hand, the coding information was achieved by counting high electrical level of the binaryzation signal of CCD′s output. Coding information was obtained by recognition of the disc image and combination of 12-bits coding number. On the other hand, precise value was obtained by calculating the shifting between the centroid of image and virtual center. The centroid of stripe was calculated based on CCD centroid location algorithm. Finally, the value of angle was precisely received from combination of these two values. A prototype of theodolite was developed based on this single-ring absolute encoder decoding system and can reach the accuracy of 2".

In this paper, an accurate optical parameters extracting method was theoretically derived and experimentally demonstrated, a HDPE sample was measured by two similarly experimental scheme with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. To compare the results of the regular method and the different optical path (DOP) method, the refractive index and the absorption coefficient from 0.5-2.5 THz were obtained, respectively, and the results show that the refractive index and the absorption coefficient of measured sample are quite different. The refractive indexes obtained by regular method and DOP method are 1.505 and 1.483 respectively. The absorption coefficient measured by the regular method has a peak in 1.465 THz, while DOP method′s absorption coefficient has two peaks both in 1.166 THz and 2.431 THz.

    A binary spatiotemporal encoded method for uneven fringes phase unwrapping was proposed to remove the limitation of the existing non - uniform striped phase unwrapping method. From the standard non-uniform stripes cut off the phase reverse to cut off the phase line, the boundary line for binary coding and decoding.By using four step phase shifting method, the absolute phase of deformed uneven fringes can be obtained with three pieces of aided coding patterns. The nonholonomic system was established, and the relationship between the absolute phase and the depth of the object was fitted by quadratic polynomial. Compared with existing methods in simulation environment, the improved amount of average and standard deviation of all symmetric points height difference of arch object are 65% and 51% respectively. The improved amount of average and standard deviation for arch cuboid are 95% and 90% respectively. At the same time, the method is used to measure the surface of the rectangular object, which average error is only 0.64%, compared with the measurement results of the Coordinate Measuring Machine(CMM). The experimental results show that the method can improve the quality of uneven fringes phase unwrapping, and improve the measurement accuracy under the condition that the number of aided coding pattern is not increase.

The basic principle and interferometry method of the measurement of micro refractive index change between two transparent mediums were described, and the theoretical feasibility of this measurement method was studied by using Zemax optical simulation software. Firstly, in this experiment, a composite plate from two transparent mediums to be measured was prepared by adhere-free bonding technology. Secondly, the optical path difference caused by the refractive index difference in the bonding interface was measured with the help of interferometer, under the different splitting angles of the composite plate. And then, the relational expression between the refractive index distribution and the optical path difference was deduced by using the law of refraction in geometrical optics. At last, the micro difference value of the optical path difference for normal incidence was obtained by conic approach technique in dealing with measuring data, and thus the final result of refractive index difference between two transparent mediums was obtained according to the conversion expression. The measured value of refractive index difference of a 1 at. % Yb3+: YAG/YAG bonded sample was also gotten and the value was 5.41×10-5, thus the accuracy of measurement system was up to 10-7 magnitude. The experiment result shows that the measurement method is simple, easy operation and has high precision.

    In noncritical phase matching condition, it is necessary to precisely control the stability and uniformity of the crystal temperature in full aperture. A device using resistive heater to control the temperature of the large aperture crystal was introduced. Taking full account of the low thermal conductivity and large aperture of the crystal, it was heated by thermal conduction and the natural convection of the inner air, which was heated up at the same time for temperature balancing. The characteristics of temperature distribution of the device were studied.

    The connected defective elements in Focal Plane Array (FPA) were tested by optical microscopy and FPA test-bench. The reasons of forming connected defective elements in FPA were studied. Results show that it is difficult to identify connected defective elements by optical microscopy. And it is also difficult to identify connected defective elements by FPA response testing bench because the response voltage of connected defective elements is basically the same as that of normal elements. The connected defective elements can be identified effectively by FPA crosstalk testing bench because the crosstalk between connected defective elements is 100%, which is obviously different from that of the normal elements. At this point, the response voltage of connected defective elements is average of that of the normal elements. The tables with connecting or the electrodes with connecting caused by the process of photolithography and eroding result in the generation of the connected defective elements. As well as the indium bump with connecting caused by the process of photolithography and lift-off also leads to the generation of the connected defective elements. Fabrication process such as photolithography, eroding and lift-off was optimized to reduce connected defective elements.

    Interferograms in the photo-elastic modulator Fourier transform spectrometers(PEM-FTS)has high modulation frequency, and its modulated optical path difference is continuous nonlinear. In order to improve the accuracy and stability of the rebuilt spectrums whose interferograms is sampled by the equal time intervals, it is necessary to study the technology of pretreatment and phase correction of photo-elastic modulated interferograms.

    Effect of light spot size and optical axis deflection on heterodyne efficiency of space optical hybrid was focused on in this paper. With deduction of the heterodyne efficiency expression based on Gaussian model, the result shows that when the proportion of the light spot size and target plane equals 0.64, the heterodyne efficiency reaches optimal. Then by calculating and simulating the expressions which included spot size deviation and optical axis deflection, the curve of relation between heterodyne efficiency and spot size deviation and optical axis deflection was obtained. By these works several results can be shown: Firstly, the scope of spot size deviation is between -42 μm and 250 μm and the scope of axis deflection is 203 μrad when heterodyne efficiency is 10%. Besides, by calculating the spot size deviation and comprehensive optical axis deflection error, negative influence of heterodyne caused by axis error can be improved with modulating the light spot size deviation. In order to test the theoretical result, an experimental platform of influence factor of spatial optical hybrid was built up and an experiment of deflection angle of optical axis with choosing three light spot sizes was implemented. The result is consistent with that of the simulation. The curves of actual measurement are slightly less than the theoretical value because of the influence of insertion loss caused by experiment components. These influence obtained may provide technical reference for the design, adjustment and process of spatial optical hybrid.

By controlling the input field of the MMF, the focused spots were formed. The theoretical imaging model of single MMF digital scanning was established. APC algorithm was adopted to optimize the phase on the spatial light modulator(SLM), which can effectively reduce the time to form focused spots and improve the imaging speed. 30×30 focused spots were formed to sample the resolution target in 50 μm×50 μm region.

    Currently, phase sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer (φ-OTDR) distributed optical fiber sensing system is difficult to accurately determine current position of disturbance and distinguish the model of disturbance effectively. A method was proposed based on support vector machine (SVM) which can accurately distinguish disturbance and the model of disturbance. With the technique of the binary tree, a categorizer based on SVM was set up by extracting the various signal characteristics of the mean, the variance, the mean square deviation and energy of the time- domain and frequency-domain. Thus the disturbance and disturbance mode can be distinguished. In terms of the sensing signal feature, the categorizer I was determined if the sensing signals was disturbance signals or not firstly. Then, mode of disturbance can be recognized by the following categorizers. Experiments were carried out to validate the proposed method by 600 groups of data. The correct discrimination rate is better than 96%. The rate of missing report and the rate of false positives is less than 4%. The rate of correct pattern recognition is greater than 94%.

    The channel characteristics were investigated for underwater laser communications based on Monte Carlo simulation method. Using the blue-green laser with wavelength 532 nm, the impulse response of link was discussed both in theorem and simulation. Also the channel parameters such as the water type, attenuation length, divergence angle, beam width, received field-of-view(FOV), received aperture were taken into account. Monte Carlo simulation experiment was verified. Simulation results suggest that in clear water, the channel can effectively be considered as non ISI when working distance less than 40 m. Therefore, it practically did not need to perform computationally complex signal processing at the received end. However, in harbor water, the channel delay spread enlarged with larger received FOV or divergence angle, and the data transmission efficiency was reduced. When the attenuation length was smaller than the diffused length, the received intensity decreased with received aperture enlarged. In contrast, the received intensity enhances with larger received aperture at the small FOV, however, they trend to similar regardless of the apertures at large FOV. Therefore, the results give us some insight in terms of what constitutes an accurate underwater laser communication channel.

    With the development of science and technology, there are more and more high requirements of imaging quality for high speed aircraft. The effect of friction heating on imaging quality of supersonic speed system with a conformal dome was studied. An conformal optical system with a conformal dome which had a length-to-diameter ratio of 1 was designed. The system had two wedge mirrors for field scanning, which provided a instantaneous FOV of 4° and a scanning FOV of 60°. A conformal fairing aerodynamic simulation experiment with the speed of Mach 3 and attack angle of 0° was finished. The surface temperature distribution of conformal dome in supersonic speed was obtained. Through the fluid-solid interaction, surface variation of different periods was calculated. The thermal surface variation was fitted into Zernike coefficients and applied to conformal optical system. The analysis results showed that the dynamic aberration introduced by high speed flight affected the imaging quality of optical system. In order to guarantee the system precision, a Spatial Light Modulator (SLM) was used to correct the aberration of different periods. After correction, system imaging quality was close to the diffraction limit, which had realized thermal aberration correction of conformal dome in supersonic speed flight. This study has certain significance to the development of high precision aircraft.

Firstly, the mechanism and imaging performance of non-uniformity in integrated microgrid polarimeters were presented. Then the difference of non-uniformity between the polarization image and traditional image was illustrated and the reasons for the failure of traditional methods were analyzed. By constructing a model of polarization imaging system in response to the incident polarized light source, the matrix correction algorithm was further proposed. After that, experiments gave the correction effects of polarization flatfiled images and scene images containing rich details. A quantitative analysis of experimental results proves that our matrix correction algorithm reduces the non-uniformity of flatfiled images to about 10%.

    Using self-designed steady-state magnetic field device, combined with laser cladding process, by adjusting current intensity to obtain corresponding steady-state magnetic field and put the magnetic field on laser molten pool, Fe55 alloy coatings was fabricated on 45 substrate steel surface. The microstructure, chemical composition and phase characteristics of the cladding coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM), energy disperse spectroscopy(EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results show that Fe55 alloy coating is mainly composed of γ-(Fe, Cr) solid solution, (Fe, Ni) solid solution, (Cr, Fe)23C6 carbide and a small amount of Cr9.1Si0.9. The interdendritic Cr element content in laser cladding Fe55 alloy coating with steady-state magnetic field is higher than that of the laser cladding without magnetic field, and dendrite internal Fe element content also increased. To a certain extent, the steady-state magnetic field can promote the mass transfer process in laser melten pool, which is beneficial to the diffusion of Fe, Cr elements and the formation of (Fe, Cr) solid solution. When the current intensity is 4.0 A, steady-state magnetic field greatly reduces the temperature gradient of solid-liquid interface in laser molten pool, and increases the nucleation rate in liquid metal molten pool. A large number of columnar dendrites and dendritic crystals are changed into directions different equiaxed grains in coating, and the microstructure of Fe55 alloy coating has been significantly optimized.

    Based on Mie theory and heat equation, combined with the measurement of the main components for impurities on the subsurface of fused silica by ICP-OES, a model for calculating laser-induced damage probability on the surface of optical components by absorbing impurities was presented. Based on this theoretical model, the critical fluence required to initiate damage by various impurities as a function of particle radius and the damage probability on the surface of fused silica induced by the impurities with different distribution were investigated. The damage probability on the surface of fused silica was measured under the irradiation of 355 nm laser with different beam sizes. Comparison of the calculated and experimental results was conducted. The contribution to laser-induced damage probability for these three impurities was analyzed (Cu>Al>CeO2) with same particle distribution parameters. Through the model, the effect of various potential absorbing impurities embedded in the subsurface of optical substrates or films on damage probability can be analyzed.

    Based on the application prospect of 0.53 μm and 1.06 μm dual-wavelength composite output technology in military affairs, the thermal effect of all-solid-state dual-wavelength composite output laser was studied. Using Poisson heat conduction theory with more accurate boundary conditions, the formation process of thermal lens effect and thermal induced phase-mismatch was simulated and analyzed under the conditions of three LD side-pumping and intracavity frequency-doubling. Effectiveness and general regularity of the plano-convex cavity compensation were then analyzed. Through the experiment, the influence of thermal effect on the beam quality of dual-wavelength laser was explored. Compensation effect of plano-convex cavity on thermal effect was verified. It shows that the quality of composite laser beam improves with larger fundamental mode volume and lower higher-order mode gain in plano-convex cavity. The thermal effect compensation will be enhanced with the decrease of the curvature radius of the plano-convex lens compensation.

    An Intra-cavity Continuous-Wave Optical Parametric Oscillator(IC-OPO) was developed in order to resolve problems inherent in IC-OPO such as instability of output power, long-lived bursts of relaxation-oscillations, etc. First, compensative design of thermal lens effect was devised to improve pattern matching. Second, an aperture slot was used to suppress the oscillations of high-order transverse mode. Finally, by placing a KTP crystal in the cavity for the purpose of SHG, the relaxation oscillation was suppressed by nonlinear loss. After these improvements, the compact tunable infrared to mid-infrared(2.2-4.2 μm) continuous source with high-stability was obtained. The amplitude stability of output power is 0.52%(RMS) and peak-to-peak amplitude stability is less than ±1.8%. The beam quality M2 is 1.72. Especially, a series of observations show that the relaxation-oscillation is suppressed effectively. Without KTP crystal, the threshold (808 nm) is as low as 1.5 W.

    Out-field laser jamming experiment of varifocal colour CCD imaging system irradiated by semiconductor laser was done. Laser jamming effects of colour CCD imaging system with different focal lengths were measured. Laser jamming model was set-up, and theoretical proving and analysis on experimental results were completed. Theorical and experimental results show that laser jamming effect of colour CCD imaging system irradiated by 750 nm laser is obvious, and CCD surface appears obvious light saturation and crosstalk phenomena. In the same initial laser irradiating conduction, laser power truncated by the aperture gradually decreases with increase of focal length f, and light saturation area on the CCD surface gradually increases. When focal length f of colour CCD imaging system is 17 mm, light saturation area on the CCD surface is 0.33 mm×0.29 mm. While focal length f of colour CCD imaging system increases to 120 mm, light saturation area on the CCD surface is 1.8 mm×1.2 mm. Simulation results are coincident with experimental results, and it proves laser jamming model is correct. The conclusions have a reference value for colour CCD in the practical application.

    A heat transfer model for pulse laser ablation of a bronze-bond diamond grinding wheel was built by considering the effects of evaporation, plasma shielding, and energy accumulation under the pulse interval. The model was applied for numerical simulation of the heat transfer characteristics in the pulse laser ablation of bronze and diamond. According to the results of numerical simulation, experiments were conducted for pulse laser ablation of a bronze wheel and bronze-bonded diamond grinding wheel. The theoretical analysis and experimental results showed that under the indicated conditions, the laser of 2.10×108 W/cm2 could only perform dressing on a bronze-bonded diamond grinding wheel; the laser of 2.10×108 W/cm2-2.52×108 W/cm2 merged the truing and dressing of the grinding wheel; and the laser of greater than 2.52×108 W/cm2 realized great-depth dressing but seriously affected the projection height of grits from the bond and their grinding performance. These researches provide theoretical guidance for optimizing the process parameters associated with laser ablation of a bronze-bonded diamond grinding wheel and the experimental data is in good agreement with the numerical solution to the model, thus verifying the correctness and feasibility of the heat transfer model.

    In the process of a single motion-blurred image restoration, it is difficult to estimate point spread function(PSF) and the ill-posed deconvolution will affect restoration result. Considering that several different PSFs can get joint invertibility to make deblurring well-posed, it was proposed that the motion-blurred images of different PSFs could be obtained by multiple cameras with same parameters to shoot continuously at high speed moving target in one field of view. The images had the same brightness, different exposure time, and different motion blur. The PSFs were easy to be estimated by consecutive frames. According to the motion-blurred character of the target and background imaging pixels, complete convolution blurred images of the target could be extracted from the observation images respectively. Finally, the target image was recovered by iterative restoration in the spatial domain by multiple images joint solution. Experiments show that the method only needs common hardware, and the obtained images can help more exact image restoration by joint PSFs solution. And the restoration results maintain details well and have lower signal noise ratio (SNR).

    A system about 3D scanning measurement towards large objects without rails was developed in this paper, which combined binocular sensor with structured-light sensor together and achieved the unity of their coordinate systems through calibration. The double-line projection model was presented, through which the system can complete the stereo matching of the mark points in the binocular sensor and get mark points′ 3D coordinates. Based on the double-line projection model, a structured-light model named line-plane constraint was designed to get the modulated information of the light strips on the objects′ surface. In order to build the relationship between the sensor coordinate system and the global coordinate system, the property of the space geometrical invariability of the mark points was used. In this way, the entire system of the sensor can convert the 3D points cloud data measured at different locations to the global system in real time. Thus, the entire sensor system can complete the 3D scanning measurement of the object, the measurement precision was better than 0.08 mm within the working distance.

    The position and orientation measurement system based on computer vision is extensively applied on robotics, motion control and precision detection systems. Using the minimum hardware resource, a localization system based on mono-vision and manual planar target was designed and the method of image matching and position resolving was also studied. Firstly, the object detection based on image matching was used to get the coordinate of the planar target in image. The matching was based on SIFT features and projection estimation to detect the target in image, and then the accurate coordinate of the target′s center was calculated by some inherent shape information. A number of image samples were used to validate the accuracy and robustness of the image matching algorithm. Secondly, a new method to solve the PnP problem based on the rectangular distribution was proposed. The method uses the locations of target control points in the image coordinate system and the object coordinate system was used to get the relative position and orientation between the moving object and the camera. The experiment was conducted on the 5D precision displacement stage and results show that the system can achieve the accuracy level of mm in the range of 800 mm, which meets the project requirement.
