The operation range of spaceborne infrared detector was computed for effective detection and early warning of hypersonic flight vehicles. Considering the influence of the different transmittance of target-detector and background-detector, path thermal and dispersion, a new operation range model was given. Parameters in the new model were the function of the wavelength and had no concern with the range. The infrared radiation characteristics computation model of X-51A′s skin, nozzle and plume were given on basis of aerodynamics, engine′s after burning theory, plume flow field and its simplified model. The infrared radiation model in the sea background was established on the influence of the environment. It′s shown from simulations that the radiation intensity and operation range in the medium wave are larger than those in the long wave and they become larger with higher velocity. And the operation range becomes smaller when considering dispersion. It′s inferred that the detecting ability is better in the medium wave and the dispersion should be considered in real detection.

    Target simulation is a technology that can save time and cost of weapon testing. When long- wave infrared laser was used to project light spot on the spherical screen for target simulation, a trailing of the laser spot in the moving path will be generated. Such trailing makes it difficult to keep the dot target in its original shape. So the trailing interferes with the accuracy of the target identification. The influences of laser power, laser spot movement speed and screen material on the trailing were investigated by theoretical analysis and a series of experiments. Firstly, the higher the laser power was, the more obvious the tailing phenomenon was under the same laser spot moving speed. Secondly, the slower the laser spot moving speed was, the more obvious the tailing phenomenon was under the same laser power conditions. Finally, different materials had great differences in the absorption capacity of 10.6 μm laser. The worse the heat dissipation was under the same laser power conditions, the more obvious the tailing phenomenon was. The results show that the trailing phenomenon of temperature rise can be effectively eliminate and reduced by adjusting the laser power in real time according to the moving speed of the laser spot and using suitable materials for the screen. And the tailing phenomenon is effectively eliminated and reduced.

    According to the requirements of surface microstructural manufacture, the ablation effect of ultrashort pulses on metal materials was studied. By using the double temperature equation, a multi-pulse irradiation analysis model was established. And then the temperature variations rule of single-pulse and multi-pulse ablation metal iron were quantitatively calculated. The results show that some key parameters, such as laser fluence, pulse width, and pulse interval, have noticeably influence on the electron/lattice temperature variation. Finally the number of pulses that needed for the material to reach the ablation threshold under different laser fluence is plotted, which provides a theoretical basis for the laser control in the process.

    Based on high intensity laser systems theory and self-focusing research, the nonlinear medium under the beam transmission process was described using the beam propagation method and ray tracing method. Besides, it was found that some ways were suitable for nonlinear medium, such as Adams method under the ray tracing method and recovery algorithm based on gradient information of intensity distribution. Finally, the simulation results revealed the relationship between the light intensity and these factors, including lens thickness, the refractive index of medium, the lens curvature radius and the radius of the incident beam. And combined with optical design software, it not only reflected the relationship between the product of the refractive index and the light intensity and the focus position changes, but also the results of image quality intuitively through the data of spot diagram.

    The finite element method was employed to simulate the dynamic stress waves and residual stresses induced by laser impacting the cylindrical surface of round rod made of 2024 aluminum alloy. During simulation, the code ABAQUS/Explicit was firstly utilized to simulate the process of the stress wave propagation in the rod with the diameter 16 mm, which was induced by the laser shock wave with peak value 2 GPa. Subsequently, the other code ABAQUS/Standard was used to calculate further the residual stresses distributed in the cylindrical surface of rod. Based on the simulation results, the effects of the rod diameter on the attenuation of the peak pressure of the stress wave and the residual stress distribution were investigated. Corresponding experiments were carried out to validate the calculated results as well. The results indicate that the peak pressure of the stress wave induced by the 2 GPa shock wave decreases rapidly to 250 MPa within 400 ns in the round rod with diameter 16 mm. After laser shocking, an uneven residual stresses are distributed in central region of the impacted surface, and tensile residual stresses are formed at the center, where the value of residual stresses S11 reaches 42 MPa. While compressive residual stresses are formed in other impacted areas(radius from 0.5 mm to 1.5 mm), where the compressive residual stresses S11 are roughly 250 MPa. During the propagation of the stress wave, the decay rate of its peak pressure decreases with the enlarging rod diameter, and the compressive residual stresses distributed on the cylindrical surface increase with the increasing rod diameter.

    In order to improve calibration accuracy of the liquid crystal spatial light modulator (LC-SLM), strip grating phase image were proposed to calibrate the LC-SLM. Firstly, the relation between the phase contrast of the strip grating and the intensity of the zero-order diffraction spots was simulated based on Fourier optics. Then the experimental optical path was set up and the strip grating phase image was loaded on the LC-SLM to measure the relation between the gray level and the intensity of the zero-order diffraction spots. Through calculation and analysis, the relationship between the gray level and the amount of phase delay was obtained. And finally, calibration LUT file of LC-SLM for 488 nm laser was also obtained. After calibration, a higher linearity of 0.996 4, and a lower calibration error of 0.224 0 rad were got. The experimental results show that, the double-helical spot generated by the complex high-order phase was basically consistent with the simulation results when the LUT was presented on LC-SLM. The results show that for a specific wavelength, LUT file can be obtained by calibration of LC-SLM by using the strip grating phase image and the beam can be modulated effectively according to the loading phase image, and the method is simpler.

    Improving the energy concentration of the main lobe and suppressing the grating lobe are the key to the application of optical fiber laser phased array technology. In this paper, the cutting point was the reason why laser phased array was difficult to satisfy the element spacing of λ/2 and then many grating lobes were produced. Considering the problem that the aperture of the phased array was enlarged by the method of suppressing the unequal-spacing grating lobe, a new idea of introducing genetic algorithm into the optimization of element distribution of optical fiber laser phased array was proposed. The main method was to propose a fitness function related to the main lobe energy concentration and the main lobe/side lobe contrast from the perspective of the maximum suppression of the lobe. The characteristic parameters of genetic algorithm were corresponded to the main parameters of fiber laser phased array. Then, taking two kinds of linear arrays as an example 20 line array element/array element interval as 3 times wavelength and 50 line array element/array element interval as 20 times wavelength, the traditional equally spaced array elements and unequal spacing, the array element distribution and the genetic algorithm optimized the array element distribution were simulated respectively. The distribution of the far-field energy, the main lobe energy concentration and the contrast between the main lobe and the maximum lobe of the fiber laser phased array were calculated and compared. The results show that the energy concentration of the main lobe is increased by 9.69% and 3.33% respectively, and the energy contrast between the main lobe and the first grating lobe is increased by 13.12% and 9% respectively. It can be seen that the phased array optimized based on genetic algorithm is expected to obtain a longer working distance under the same total power of laser emission.

    Lidars to observe ozone and aerosol vertical profile are widely used in environment monitor area recently. A new lidar system with both functions was introduced. The 532 nm and 266 nm light beam were generated separately with second and fourth harmonic generators using Nd:YAG laser oscillator. The 289 nm and 299 nm Raman spectrums were obtained using two Raman cells based on the theory of stimulated Raman scattering, in which one was pumped with deuterium and another was pumped with hydrogen. The ozone concentration profile was retrieved by DIAL algorithm while the aerosol concentration profile was retrieved by Mie scattering algorithm. The lidar detection results agree well with that of ozone analyzer according to the horizontal scanning experiment where the maximum relative error is less than 10%.

    Non-hydrogen silicon carbide (SiC) films were deposited on germanium substrate by pulsed laser deposition. The effects of laser energy on the microstructure, composition and infrared optical properties of SiC films were investigated. The infrared transmittance spectrums of SiC films were measured by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The spectroscopy analysis showed that the characteristic absorption peak of Si-C bonding was found at 785 cm-1, and the SiC films had good transmittance in the range of 4 000-1 300 cm-1. The optical constants of the SiC films were derived by fitting transmittance spectrum curves. It was found that the refractive index and the extinction coefficient of SiC films increased monotonicly with laser energies increasing in the range of 2.5-7.7 μm. The refractive index changed from 2.15 to 2.33 as laser energies increased from 400 mJ to 600 mJ. The extinction coefficient was of the order of 10-3 when laser energies were of 400 mJ and 500 mJ. This study indicates that the SiC film is an excellent optical film material between 2.5 μm to 7.7 μm.

    Due to the public safety was always threatened by the safety problems such as leakage of hazardous chemicals and explosions in public places, it was urgent to develop a portable, rapid and accurate detection device for on-site detection of hazardous chemicals. Although the existing detection devices were able to identify the samples, because of the large volume and the demand of pretreatment, they cannot be applied in on-site quick inspection. Therefore, the fusion the Raman system and smart phone were integrated to make it more convenient and easy to fast recognition hazardous chemicals on- site. The instrument adopts big aperture lens (F/2.0) replaced the concave reflector (F/4.0) in traditional reflectance spectromete and the optical collection efficiency has increased by nearly 4 times.

    Surface roughness measurement using the phenomenon of speckle caused by scattering of coherent or partially coherent light by rough surface was a promising online measurement technique. The speckle elongation effect of the far-field scattered field formed by the scattering of the narrowband continuous spectral beam by random rough surface and the feasibility of applying the effect to the surface roughness measurement were studied in this paper. Theoretical and simulation studies show that the speckle elongation becomes larger as the observation point moves away from the center of the scattered field; moreover, the speckle elongation increases as the surface roughness becomes smaller at the same observation position. The experimental system with Superluminescent Diode(SLD) as the light source was constructed. The surface roughness was measured by the optical roughness index which was derived from the speckle elongation. The roughness measurement experiment was carried out on the EDM surface roughness specimen. The results show that the optical roughness index monotonically decreases as the surface roughness of the measured surface increases. Surface roughness measurement system with the narrowband continuous spectral light source has a larger measurement range than a group of light sources with discrete wavelengths.

    In order to meet the requirement of monitoring temperature change during the NaCl solution concentration measurement, an interferometric sensor based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer(MZI) cascaded Fabry-Perot interferometer(FPI) was proposed. The MZI was prepared by melting and splicing a single mode fiber to form a pair of tapers structure with diameter of 155 ?滋m at the waist an interval of 1.5 cm and the contrast and period of the MZI was 10 dB and 29.85 nm, respectively; Then a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) was spliced to one end of the MZI, cleaving the PCF at a distance of a 176 ?滋m from the splicing position, which a FPI was formed with contrast and period of 8 dB and 5.71 nm, respectively. By selecting the characteristic wavelength shifts of MZI and FPI interference dips in the range of 1 535-1 555 nm, in the temperature range of 30-150 ℃ and NaCl solution concentration range of 0%-24%, the temperature and refractive index sensitivities were 50 pm/℃ and 9.97 nm/RIU, respectively. The linearities were both greater than 0.97; While the interference dip of FPI was insensitive to the refractive index, and its sensitivity of temperature and linearity was 8.3 pm/℃ and 0.98, respectively. Finally, the sensitivity matrix for temperature and NaCl concentration was calculated by constructing the temperature-NaCl concentration function matrix. The interferometric sensor has good sensitivity and linearity to temperature and concentration of NaCl solution, which can realize the simultaneous measurement of the mentioned parameters.

    A great deal of theoretical research and experimental verification has been done on the DMD spatial light modulated Hadamard transform spectrometer, but the research on this technology was still immature, many problems need to be further studied. The spatial distribution of the dispersion spectrum on the DMD was different because of the different spatial positions of the pixels on the image which resulted in the different encoding matrices of the dispersion spectrum of each pixel. An identification method of spectral recovery matrix was proposed by comparing the gray values of laser-coded images and combining with the changing rules of S-matrix elements. Taking the 7-order left-shift cyclic S-matrix as an example, the results of spectral recovery were verified by two imaging experiments. In the first experiment, a laser beam of 632.8 nm was directed into the spectrometer, the spectral response range of the spectrometer was 550-680 nm, and 632.8 nm within the fifth band range from 626 nm to 644 nm. Theoretically, only the fifth spectral images with a bond range of 626-644 nm was bright, and the rest of the images have no energy distribution. The actual experimental results are in agreement with the theoretical analysis. In the second experiment, the spectrometer was used to image a color butterfly model. The spectral curves of two test points were extracted from the recovered spectral images, and compared with the spectral characteristic curves obtained by radiometer. The experimental results show that the spectral curves obtained from the recovered spectral images are basically the same as the spectral characteristics curves extracted by radiometer. Two groups of spectral recovery experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed identification method for spectral recovery matrix.

The noise characteristics of amplifier have a vital impact on the overall performance of the distributed sensing system. In the differential interference distributed sensing system, the broadband spectrum light source must be used, and the detection terminal must also use the wide spectrum detection, so it was of great significance to study the noise of EDFA in the broadband spectrum distributed sensing system for the improvement of the overall performance of the sensing system. The response relation of EDFA gain to the wavelength and power of the broadband spectrum light source was studied in this paper, and the gain response curve that can describe this relation was obtained.

    In the system of the spatial light modulator, the response time of the liquid crystal under normal driving voltage is long, and the response speed of the system is slowed down. Considering these, the factors affecting the response time of the liquid crystal, the relaxation characteristics of the liquid crystal and the overdrive principle of the liquid crystal were analyzed. An overdriving method of liquid crystal based on the FPGA was put forward. Among them, phase quantization, overdriving look-up table, and PWM generation were all performed by the FPGA. This method did not occupy CPU resources and can respond to CPU instructions more quickly, and further saving LCD response time in terms of hardware. Finally, the experimental optical path was built. The experimental results show that after using the overdriving method, in a modulation period and under 5 V driving voltage, the response time of the liquid crystal modulation phase rise process is shortened from 500 ms to 35 ms, and the fall response time is shortened from 300 ms to 36 ms. The rapid deflection of the phase of the liquid crystal molecules is achieved, and the response speed of the system is improved by an order of magnitude.

    To improve the decoding performance and transmission efficiency of optical communication link in atmospheric weak turbulence channel, heuristic adaptive rate polar codes were proposed. Adaptive rate polar codes were designed based on nesting property of information bits of polar codes, which could achieve fully polarization and good error-correcting performance in atmospheric weak turbulence channel. To adjust the code rate of adaptive rate polar codes, cyclic redundancy check(CRC) code was introduced as stop signs, which could check decoding result. Transmitting terminal sent a set of codes with gradually lower code rates, when the received codes passed CRC check, transmitting terminal stopped and the rate of such code was the largest rate which can ensure reliable transmission. Simulation results show that, compared to traditional polar codes, adaptive rate polar codes can obtain 1.7 dB to 2.3 dB coding gain at the frame error rate(FER) of 10-8 in different atmospheric turbulence intensity. Decoding latency of adaptive rate polar codes was simulated and the throughput rate of adaptive rate polar codes was calculated. The results show that adaptive rate polar codes can meet the transmission requirements of FSO in atmospheric weak turbulence channel.

    One laser oscillating mode would split into two with an optical wave plate being inserted in the resonator. The frequency difference of splitting modes can be measured to obtain the wave plate phase retardation. Based on the principle, a measuring instrument for wave plate was designed with optical path along vertical direction, which could choose certain measuring method according to oscillating modes altered by frequency difference. The half-cavity laser, the detection of laser intensity and frequency difference, the controlling program were described in detail. In order to automatically measure wave plate with high precision, the instrument utilized the equal intensity point of two orthogonally polarized lights as working point, and compensated the systematic errors from initial phase retardation and slightly tilted wave plate. In testing experiments, the instrument can automatically discriminate and measure arbitrary retardance wave plates. The measurements show standard deviation of about 0.01° and uncertainty of 0.03° (less than λ/10 000) as to a multi-order quartz wave plate. The instrument has traceability and only the frequency difference of laser modes is acquired in measurement.

    To solve the problem that existing k distribution model is not suitable for calculating the radiation characteristics of gases with drastic changes in temperature and the proportion of participating components, a multiscale multigroup wide band k-distribution model(MSMGWB) was established. The spectral absorption coefficient grouping of MSMGWB model was optimized according to the thermodynamic parameters of high temperature gas and ambient air for the calculation of remote sensing thermal image of exhaust system of marine turbine engine. The calculation results of a series of one-dimensional gas radiation transmission examples show that when the temperature of high temperature gas and low temperature air and the mole ratio of water vapor, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide are greatly different, the prediction accuracy of the multiscale multigroup wide band k-distribution model for the 3-5 micron wave band gas radiation transmission characteristics is much higher than that of the original wide band k-distribution model and narrow band model, and it maintains good compatibility with the solid wall. Finally, the flow field, solid temperature field and close-range and long-range infrared images of exhaust system of marine turbine engine under different relative wind speeds were studied. The results show that the effects of gas gravity and carbon monoxide on infrared images under the 3-5 ?滋m band cannot be ignored.

    The spectral reflectance of biological material FANS 233D in the band of 2.5-15 μm was recorded by using infrared microscopic spectrometer. Based on Kramersd-Kronig(K-K) relationship, the complex refractive index of the material in 8-14 μm was calculated. A cluster-cluster model was used to stimulate the spatial structure of FANS 233D biological aggregated particles with different fractal dimensions. The extinction parameters of biological aggregated particles with fractal dimension in the far infrared band were calculated by discrete dipole approximation and the mass extinction coefficient was calculated under different conditions. The results indicate that the larger the fractal dimension of biological aggregated particles with the same original particle, the better the extinction performance in the far infrared band. When the value of original particle number, fractal dimension, mass density was 50, 2.00, 1 120 kg/m3 respectively, the mass extinction coefficient in the 8-14 μm band can reach 2.262 m2/g. The mass extinction coefficient of the aggregated particles increases slowly with the increase of the original particle radius.

    Optical phase conjugation(OPC) is a technique that generates a light field with reversed wavefront and identical amplitude distribution as the incident light. It has a unique feature of suppressing the aberration of incident beam induced by inhomogeneous or disturbing medium. Although this technique has been extensively studied since the 1970s, it has become more attractive because of unprecedented achievements and prospective potentials in biomedical applications. OPC-based techniques have been successfully utilized to form a focus through/inside highly scattered biological samples. It opens a new avenue by significantly enhancing the light delivery in biological tissue for high-resolution imaging, diagnosis and treatment of medical diseases. In order to provide insight into its further development, recent progress of OPC techniques for focusing light through/inside biological tissue was summarized.

    Conformal metasurfaces can break the restrictions between the geometry of an object and its optical functionality and allow the scattering wavefronts to be modulated willingly. Here, it is demonstrated that adaptive conformal metasurfaces is composed of achiral mirror symmetry Ω-shaped gold antenna, which can be integrated on arbitrary substrate to achieve curved holography in the visible range (λ=450 nm). The underline modulation scheme of conformal metasurface relies on the Pancharatnam-Berry phase, which can be continuously controlled in each subwavelength unit cell by rotating the orientation angle of the antenna. Such conformal metasurfaces decorated on curved topological objects can be employed in various practical application such as curved lens focusing, invisibility cloaking, and security printing technologies.

    The extraordinary optical transmission properties of periodic subwavelength hole arrays were of great significance in the design of subwavelength optoelectronic devices. The periodic hole array structure on two or more layers can lead to new optical properties due to the interaction of the electromagnetic fields between the layers. The transmission properties of a rectangular nanohole array in Au-dielectric-Au multilayer films were simulated using the finite-difference time-domain method. The results show that there are multiple transmission peaks in the transmission spectra of the structure in the near-infrared region.The number, position and intensity of the transmission peak can be controlled by changing the geometrical parameters of the structure and the dielectric film of material. The influences of the thickness and refractive index of the dielectric film, the period of the hole arrays, the length of the rectangular hole on the transmission spectrum were analyzed in detail. It provides a reference for designing multi-wavelength control devices using multiple surface plasmon resonances.

    Due to the high mixed degree of hyperspectral remote sensing images, the basic component extracted by the traditional Nonnegative Matrix Underapproximation(NMU) algorithm is still "impurity", moreover, it is susceptible to noise. To overcome the above shortcomings, a method named L1/2-regularized soft-thresholding NMU for hyperspectral unmixing was proposed. Firstly, the L1/2 regularization term for abundance was introduced to improve the distinguishing ability, which can further improve the purity of the extracted components. Secondly, the soft-threshold penalty function was introduced to replace the residual nonnegative constraint in NMU. By adjusting the penalty factor, the number of non-negative elements could be well controlled, which could improve the anti-noise ability. Experimental results on the simulational and real datasets show that the proposed algorithm can obtain better separation results even under noisy conditions.

    Dynamically, accurately monitoring of cyanobacteria blooms in the inland lakes can provide a basis for evaluating the control effects of polluted water bodies, moreover optimize and adjust prevention policies for water conservancy and environmental protection departments. In this paper, Chaohu Lake was chosen as there search object, the satellite imagery data with different spatial resolution such as the Landsat TM/OLI, HJ-1B CCD/IRS and NPP-VIIRS, were used to extract the Chaohu water body by the Normalized Difference Water Index(NDWI). And then the areas of cyanobacterial blooms in the Chaohu Lake were calculated using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index(NDVI) and the Floating Algae Index (FAI). Further, the extracted cyanobacterial areas using the different methods were compared and analyzed, and the monitoring effects and applicability were evaluated by the spatial and temporal characteristics for Landsat, HJ-1B and VIIRS imagery data. Additionally, the effects of different meteorological factors on the cyanobacterial blooms were also analyzed. The research results displayed that comparing with the NDVI index, the FAI index calculated from the Landsat, HJ-1B and VIIRS imagery data can reduce the effect of thin cloud on the extraction of cyanobacterial blooms, and improve the recognition ability of cyanobacterial blooms and extents. Secondly, the temperature and sunshine duration of meteorological factors aggravate the severity of cyanobacterial blooms, and the rainfall plays a certain role in inhibiting the outbreak of cyanobacterial blooms. In summary, this study introduced the VIIRS imagery data to study the cyanobacterial blooms in Chaohu Lake, and used the FAI index to reduce the influence of thin cloud on the extraction precision of cyanobacterial blooms. These results show that multi-source satellite imagery data can provide the important method support for the development of dynamically monitoring system on cyanobacterial blooms. This is useful to promote the satellite remote sensing technology to improve the "river system" and "lake system" in Anhui Province.
