Aiming at the single character of target image acquisition in the traditional bionic vision system, multispectral visual image processing method based on adaptive regulation of humanoid eye was proposed. Firstly, the improved automatic focusing algorithm was used to collect the high resolution image of visible light and the low resolution image of near-infrared light. In the multispectral imaging system, there were different problems of visible and near-infrared image resolution under fixed focal length due to different refractive index of spectral prism. The improved two-generation wavelet transform was adopted to enhance the image contrast and improve the visual effect. Finally, the performance of automatic focus algorithm and image enhancement algorithm was verified by using a multi-spectral experimental device based on liquid zoom lens. The experimental results indicate that the average time of effective auto focusing system is 756 ms, and the gray variance function value increases by 79.4% after near infrared image enhancement, which solves the problem of low contrast and fuzzy details and realizes adaptive regulation.

    The finite difference time domain(FDTD) method was adopted for simulation of the conical bionic moth-eye micro-nano structure on silicon substrate in middle infrared band(3-5 μm). A parameter-optimized combination of the micro-nano structure which was of low reflection was obtained by analyzing the parameters of the micro-nano structure, such as fill factor, period and etching depth. In order to guide the actual processing better, tolerance analysis of different parameters was carried out. The binary exposure and reactive ion etching technology were applied to fabricate the conical bionic moth-eye micro structure on silicon substrate in processing. The surface topography of the micro structure was acquired by thermal field emission scanning electron microscopy. The test of the silicon wafer with single-sided micro structure polishing by the infrared imaging spectrometer demonstrates that the reflectivity of the bionic moth-eye micro structure vibrates approximately 5% in middle infrared band.

    A photonic bandgap fiber collimator was proposed. To reduce the interference of light power from the echo, the return loss of fiber collimator should exceed 60 dB. There was no reflection in photonic bandgap fiber end face, thus the beveled angle of GRIN lens of photonic bandgap fiber collimator and ordinary fiber collimator satisfied the criterion were different. Based on the theory of matrix optics and Gaussian-beam coupling, the transform matrix was deduced from the general model of Gaussian-beam through a complex optical system. With the practical parameters of photonic bandgap fiber and GRIN lens, the influence of the distance between fiber tail and GRIN lens and the influence of the parameter of the GRIN lens on return-loss were both stimulated and analyzed. The results show that the return loss exceed 60 dB when the beveled angle of GRIN lens was 3°. The results may direct the design of PBF collimator.

    A tunable, narrow bandwidth, negative coefficient microwave photonic filter based on cascaded dispersion devices was proposed, because the negative coefficient microwave photonic filter was very difficult to realize by the way of positive coefficient optical taps. The reshaped output signals of the multi-wavelength fiber laser were used as the tap of the filter. SMF and the F-P fiber ring were cascaded as a delay unit to realize the frequency selectivity of the filter. The negative coefficient was realized by a mixture of phase modulator and cascaded dispersion devices. As many as 37 stable laser signals with 0.34 nm wavelength interval were obtained by the experiment. And then based on the experiment results, the effects of coupling coefficient r of C2, C3 in the F-P fiber ring, different length TODL, and different length SMF in the delay unit etc. on the microwave photonic filters performance were simulated and studied.

It has significant theoretical and practical value to study the dynamic characteristic and control problem of MOEMS scanning mirror under external parameter excitation. According to the Euler equation, the torsional dynamical model of electrostatic actuated MOEMS was built in this paper. It was suggested by the simulation through forth-order Runge-Kutta approach when the external parameter excitation was applied in the electrostatic actuated MOEMS reverse dynamical model, the MOEMS scanning mirror should experience the process of damped, periodic, period-doubling, forking, and chaos motion. Besides, the periodic motion had a large parametric control range. According to the stabilization theory by Lyapunov, a type of continuous tracking controller for chaotic system was designed to make the torsional states of the controlled MOEMS scanning mirror convergent to arbitrary expected command signal.

    Channel estimation refers to the method and process of receiving channel state information.The accuracy of channel estimation determines the performance of the receiver, so channel estimation must be carried out before equalization.Nowadays, the laser channel estimation for optics transmission becomes a key technology in free space optical communication in multiple-input multiple-output orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(FSO-MIMO-OFDM) system. Although the traditional method of compression sensing, as an effective method for channel estimation, has the ability to recover and reconstruct the original signal, it has paid a certain cost in computational complexity. A novel fast Bayesian matching pursuit(FBMP) algorithm was proposed to overcome the low reconstruction precision and high complexity of the existing methods. Through the prior model selection and approximate minimum mean squared error(MMSE) estimation of the parameter vector, the FBMP algorithm provided an efficient way to estimate the channel impulse response and was characterized by high reconstruction accuracy and low complexity. Simulation results show that the proposed method can significantly improve the performance of the system compared with the traditional compressed sensing(CS).

    Airy beam is a distinctive non-diffraction, which not only has properties of self -healing and non-diffraction, but also has the merit of self-bending that other non-diffraction beams do not have. The evolution of Airy beam′s non-diffraction, self-bending and self-healing was researched. The influence of different decay factor a and scale in the transverse x0 on the three characteristics of Airy beam was discussed. The research shows that the non-diffracting propagation distance of Airy beam will decrease with the increase of decay factor a when the scale in the transverse x0 is constant, and the decay factor has no impact on self-bending. It also manifests that the recovery distance of self-bending will decrease with the increase of decay factor a. When the decay factor a is constant, the distance of non-diffracting transmission, the offset of the self-bending as well as the healing distance of self-healing increases in proportion to the scale in the transverse x0. By comparing the effects of scale in the transverse x0 and decay factor a on the three characteristics of Airy beam, it is found that the influence of decay factor a on the three properties of Airy beam is smaller than that of scale in the transverse x0.

Even nowadays, the application of OPLL is still difficult and the OPLL takes long time to capture the received signal. The open-loop conpensation algorithm based on DSP used in fiber communication was proposed to estimate the frequency and phase, and then was applied to the satellite laser communications. The effect of laser noise and receiver noise on frequency estimation precision was studied emphaisitly, and simulation was implemented to verify the algorithm. Results show that when the power of local oscillator (LO) is 10 dBm, the BER of the system is better than 10-4 with received power higher than -47 dBm; when the received power is increased by 10 dB, the standard deviation of the frequency estimation is less than 370 kHz.

    Metallic nanostructures can enhance light-matter interaction arising from the surface plasmonic resonances, which is highlight on optics for many applications. A tunable optical property can be induced by plasmonic resonance, leading to the significant electromagnetic field enhancement, as well as the position of the "hot spot" at a tiny nanogap. Analogue of the diffractive optics, an alternative method of multiscale cascaded field enhancement with a simple metallic nanostructure, double stacked nanocone (DSC), was proposed in the article. In detail, a tunable hybrid mode was achieved from the strong interference between a fundamental plasmonic cavity mode and a plasmonic gap mode. Furthermore, it led to a far-field optical response at a certain wavelength. The position of the hot spots can also be mounted on the top surface of the DSC nanostructure. Additionally, a technique of mask reconfiguration was developed to precisely fabricate the multiscale DSC nanostructure, which can benefit to construct the necessary three steps in the nanostructure. The experimental results also provide a substantial evidence to demonstrate the art-of-state of the multiscale cascaded field enhancement, as well as the technique of nanofabrication.

    In order to control line-of-sight(LOS) pointing with two-axis fast-steering mirror(FSM) accurately, kinematic equations was set to describe the relationship between LOS pointing and angular displacement of FSM deriving from Snell′s law of reflection. LOS pointing equations were decoupled with non-linear correction. LOS pointing error was less than 8 ?滋rad for two-axis FSM whose tilt angles were both ±20 mrad with beam incidence angle equaling to 45°. LOS pointing accuracy rose 75 times compared with linear approximation. To hold the LOS stationary, rate equations were established in terms of vector rate synthesis to compensate the angular rate of the mounted vehicle in inertial space. Angular rate equations for FSM were simplified via Taylor expansion and high order truncation. The residual angular rate of LOS with different beam incidence angles was calculated, which indicated that the residual error of ?棕Ly was far greater than ?棕Lz. The ratio between residual LOS angular rate and angular rate of mounted vehicle was minimal and less than 0.164% when beam incidence angle was 45°, which satisfied the accuracy requirements. The equations deduced suppliy theoretic reference of position and velocity command generation for FSM control system.

    According to 1.2 m large aperture telescope primary mirror support system, an effective assembly method was advanced to insure the root-mean-square (RMS) of the surface accuracy. The primary mirror support system was designed following kinematic principle. To achieve excellent performance of the RMS of primary mirror surface accuracy at different ambient temperature (from -20 ℃ to 60 ℃) and different elevation(from vertical to horizontal), whiffletree structure were used for axial support,while lateral support mechanisms based on flexible tangent link structure were adopted. Resulting from machining error and installation error of the flexible structures, assembly stress was presented certainly, that could increase primary mirror distortion range evidently. By the finite element analysis(FEA) simulation, the effects of various errors were calculated. According to simulation results, assembly processes were established. After assembly of primary mirror support system, the RMS of primary mirror surface accuracy was measured by compensator and laser interferometer. In measurement, the RMS of surface accuracy was λ/42 and λ/31(λ=632.8 nm), when optical axis of primary mirror was vertical and horizontal.

    Aiming at the thickness estimating problem of thermal barrier coatings during preparation, the transient thermal response spectrum of NiCrAlY coating on nickel-based superalloy was researched through numerical simulation method. Further more, the phase spectra of original thermal waves with different coating thickness was analysed, which suggested that the phase value and coating thickness comply with linear relationship in a special range of frequency. But the absolute phase D-value is too little to evaluate coating thickness in engineering application. So a method of wavelet decomposition was proposed to increase the phase D-value between different coating thickness, the 2nd level details coefficient was employed for thermal wave reconstruction, and the phase D-value of reconstructed thermal wave increase about more than 500 times, which is extremely conducive to raise the accuracy rate in coating thickness estimation. At last, the analog result was confirmed by experimental test.

    In order to study the effect of electromagnetic stirring on laser melt pool solidification of TA15 titanium alloy, A MHD mathematical model was established on minimal melt pool under the three-phase three-pole rotating electromagnetic stirrer. This model was used to calculate magnetic induction intensity in the center of magnetic field and the melt circumferential flow velocity in melt pool under different exciting current. The influence of circumferential flow velocity on temperature field and solidification structure formation were analyzed. At last the analysis results were verified by experiment method. The results showed that the electromagnetic force drived melt to flow circumferentially. Farer from the magnetic field center, lorentz force was larger which promoted the circumferential flow velocity of melt. Magnetic induction intensity was rising with the increase of exciting current, which caused more faster circumferential flow velocity. The enhance of flow velocity resulted in temperature going down in melt pool and temperature gradient on solid-liquid interface, which were good for generation of the equiaxed crystal. The experiment results testified that equiaxed grains were generated at the top of melt layer with the magnetic field. The number of the equiaxed grains were rising with an increase of the distance from magnetic field center. The tendency of analysis results are in good agreement with the experimental results.

    In recent years, the technology of target tracking has been greatly developed, but occlusion and deformation of the target were still the major challenges in tracking algorithms. To address these problems, a tracking algorithm based on deformable parts model (DPM) was proposed. Firstly, DPM was used to represent the target object. DPM divided the target into several small parts. The feature of the target was composed of the local feature of each part and the global feature of the entire object, then DPM defined a uniform similar function based on the object feature and spatial relationship of each pair of parts. Secondly, a structured output support vector machine (structured SVM) was trained online as the classifier, the output of the structured SVM was the structured description of the object. The target in videos or image sequences could be tracked by the detection result of the classifier. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed methods outperform other popular trackers, especially with the challenge of object′s occlusion and deformation.

    Deep space exploration has great significance for human being to develop and utilize space resources. Remote sensing payload is a very important part of deep exploration. Since the detection distance in the deep space exploration mission is very far, the SNR of the received signals is very low, the capture of extremely weak signals from deep space is a key technology. Based on the requirement of future deep space exploration for ultra weak signal detection, a week signal detection method was given. The method was based on quantum squeezed states, whose shot-noise was less than the standard quantum limit, and some experimental results were given. The result shows that this technique was a promising technology in future deep space exploration. Because the quantum properties of squeezed light is attenuated as the distance increases, in order to be closer to the application, a new laser radar scheme was designed which injected squeezed light at the receiving end, and simulation results were given.

    Correlated imaging is a new imaging method, which attracts a lot of attention in recent years. It offers great potential to solve some problems that traditional imaging technologies cannot solve. Among them, computational correlated imaging based on digital micromirror device(DMD) or spatial light modulator(SLM) developed most rapidly. When DMD was applied in correlated imaging system, high-quality images can be obtained at multi-wavelength, and multi-wavelength correlated imaging was redlized, by using the advantages of DMD′s high speed and wide reflective spectrum, with the assistance of compressed sensing. Several problems in the system need to be researched on, including the efficient generation of pseudo thermal light, the influence of diffraction effect and modulation noise on the signal, and the high-quality imaging reconstruction algorithm. After determining the optimal system parameters via numerical simulation, an experimental system was built to verify the effectiveness of the technology, which provide an reference to the practical process of correlated imaging.

    Multilayers diamond-like carbon film, which was composed of several thick diamond-like carbon layers and thin germanium island layers, was prepared on the germanium substrate in order to resolve the high inner-stress in the diamond-like carbon film. The diamond-like carbon layers had the main function of protection, and the germanium island layers had the buffer function to reduce the inner-stress in the diamond-like carbon film. Meanwhile, the thicknesses of the germanium layers were very thin, so they had no influence on the mechanical and infrared performances of the whole film nearly. Inner-stress in the multilayers diamond-like carbon film was 2.14 GPa, 39% lower than that of the pure diamond-like carbon film, and the multilayers diamond-like carbon film could pass the friction test stipulated in the GJB2485-95′general specification for optical coatings. The hardness of the multilayers diamond-like carbon kept high hardness of 47 GPa, and had the same surface roughness to the pure diamond-like carbon film. Therefore, the multilayers diamond-like carbon film could be used as practical protective film for infrared window.

    In this work, a broadband terahertz quarter wave plate was designed using high-resistance silicon based on meander-line dielectric metamaterials, which could convert the terahertz linear-polarization incidence to circular-polarization output. The 3D full-wave simulation shows that the birefringence property of the structure can be freely adjusted by properly designing the geometric parameters, which allows to engineer the transmission amplitudes of two orthogonal terahertz linear polarizations to be close to each other(about 0.55), while the phase difference to be 90°. Based on the design, a terahertz quarter wave plate was fabricated using ion-beam etching method, and then experimentally characterized using terahertz time-domain spectroscopy system. The experimental results agree well with the simulations, which indicates that a broadband terahertz quarter wave plate that functions at 1.07-1.41 THz with a high normalized ellipticity over 0.99 was realized, demonstrating the validity of our designing scheme very well. Besides, by changing the geometrical parameters of the structure, two different broadband terahertz quarter wave plates that function at other frequency ranges were further designed, which confirms the tunability of the proposed structure.

    PID controller is widely used in most projects, but its weakness is more and more fatal with the development of the stabilization precision. An active disturbance rejection controller (ADRC) based on system identification was proposed to control complex opto-electronic platform which can be described by exact model. Firstly, the system model joined friction and structure resonance models were established in order to simulate full practical states in Matlab. Secondly, the rank of system was confirmed by AIC and the model of system was confirmed by linear least square method, and then the model was transformed into the first visible standard type. Finally, an active disturbance rejection controller was designed. The weakness of PID was conquered by 4th Tracking-Differentiator (TD), 5th Extended State Observer (ESO) and Nonlinear States Error Feedback (NLSEF). Take some complex opto-electronic platform as an example, a series of simulated contrast tests between ADRC and PID were carried out. The results showed that the overshoot was reduced from 1.8% to 0.9%,and the maximum tracking error was reduced from 0.03(°) /s to 0.013(°)/s. ADRC had a faster response with a smaller overshoot than PID. This indicates that ADRC achieve control more accurately than PID.

    An asynchronous distributed sequential fusion algorithm was proposed for the asynchronous measurements which were measured by the networked optic-electronic tracking devices. The asynchronous distributed sequential fusion algorithm was composed of a local estimator and a fusion estimator. First, by using the state transformation method, the asynchronous measurements obtained by a sensor node was aligned to the fusion instant to get the pseudo-measurements. Then, a local sequential estimator was developed with respect to the pseudo-measurements and the target motion model to calculate the local estimation, by using orthogonal projection. Subsequently, by modifying the covariance intersection algorithm, a diffusion-based fusion estimator was designed to fuse the local estimation in the neighborhood. The simulation results of a target tracking system validate the effectiveness of the proposed target tracking algorithm.
