    A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) temperature sensor is presented. By setting bare grating support shelves,the temperature is measured with pressure isolation encapsulation. Multiple plus-minus temperature tests are carried out. Results show that the sensor under the condition of no press and the temperature of 35 ℃~85 ℃ has a good repeatability,hysteresis and linearity. The temperature sensitivity is 30.98 pm/℃ and the relative error is 0.3%,which is about 2.83 times of bare FBG. The accuracy is about 0.03 ℃. The pressure sensitivity tests are executed,and the results show that the sensor wavelength has no change under the condition of 35 ℃ and 5~45 MPa or the condition of 35 ℃ and 45 MPa. Moreover,compared the results under the condition of no press and 40 MPa,it is found that the sensor wavelength has no changes.

    Under the condition of the framework of discrete fractional Fourier transform (DFRFT),the research on the phase retrieval problem of complex signals and images is reviewed. Firstly,based on the basic Gerchberg-Saxton (G-S) algorithm and the diversity of the DFRFT orders,a great number of numerical simulations are performed for the case of complex image and three DFRFT orders. The results indicate that when the difference of these orders is large,the two algorithms are quite efficient,and the whole performance of the serial version is better than the parallel one. Secondly,for the case of 1-D complex signal,an algorithm based on the non-linear least-squares is studied. This algorithm converts the original problem into the optimization of a non-linear least-squares,and then is solved by the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm of Moré′s form. With two DFRFT amplitudes of arbitrary orders,the algorithm can reconstruct quite accurate phase distribution,and its performance for noisy amplitudes is also satisfying.

    A fast inpainting algorithm of curvature driven diffusions (CDD) model is proposed. It is known that the curvature term requires a large number of iterations in solving the high order partial differential equation in original CDD model. Due to the success of the Split Bregman method in L1 regularization problem,it is introduced into the CDD model to speed up the algorithm. The experiments show that the new algorithm is much faster and has better vision effects than other similar methods.

    The position of the point detector is one of the important parameters for the optical sectioning of the dual-axes confocal microscopy,so the point detector should be correctly positioned on the axis and without defocus. The effect of the point detector position in dual-axes confocal microscopy is analyzed. The results show that the slight axial offset of the point detector brings few effects on the axial intensity response,and a slight transverse offset of the point detector can introduce a shift into the axial response curve,while the main lobe of the axial response curve in shape is almost invariant,and the shift in the axis z increases as the offset increases.

    The in-situ WB-CrB reinforced Ni-based composite coating is synthesized by laser cladding on steel 45# by prior to pasting. The microstructure and phase analyses are performed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD),optical microscope,scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). The microhardness and tribological properties of the coatings are also investigated. The results indicate that the coating epitaxial growing from the substrate with excellent bonding between the coating and substrate is ensured by the strong metallurgical interface. The microstructure at the bottom of the cladding layer mainly consists of orients dendrites of γ(NiFe). The microstructure at the middle and upper zones contains WB-CrB particles dispersed in the matrix of γ(NiFe). Compared with a pure Ni60 coating,the hardness of the WB-CrB complex particulate-reinforced composite coating is enhanced to HV0.31350. The wear and tear mass loss in a block on ring test against hardened steel is reduced by a factor of seven. This can be attributed to the presence of in-situ synthesized WB-CrB complex particles and their well distribution in the coating.

    In order to monitor whether the light just passes the spatial filter pinhole center,an on-line detection method in compact space for large and complex laser system was designed. A prism is located close to the window of the spatial filter,so that the light from LED before CCD can be irradiated to the small hole. At the same time,the CCD can receive the image of reflected light,and thus on-line monitoring is achieved. The prism meets the required conditions,that the vertical distance between the prism cusp and the center of the hole is not less than 4 mm,and the angle of prism should be as small as possible so that the exit light is in parallel. Using the optical design software Zemax,the light path was simulated and the parameters of the prism were derived. The results show that the angle of the prism is 55°,and the right-angle side is respectively 10 mm and 14.3 mm. The experiment proves the feasibility and efficiency of the designed method.

    In order to solve the problems in the alignment of the off-axis aspherical optical system,the relationship between system wavefront aberration and Zernike coefficient is investigated based on vector aberration theory. The model of off-axis paraboloidal mirror and misalignment optical system is built. By collecting interferograms of several fields of optical system by means of autocollimating interferometry,the Zernike coefficient of coma and astigmatism can be obtained from those interferograms. Compared with the coefficients calculated by the software,the changes of the Zernike coefficients are obtained and the misalignment values of the system are then calculated with the model. The feasibility of this model using the CODE V software is analyzed. The results demonstrate that the alignment scheme is feasible and guidable to the alignment of complex optical system.

    A polarization converter based on cascaded transverse Pockels effect is presented. It consists of three lithium niobate crystals with external electric fields perpendicular to the light propagating direction. The refractive index ellipsoid theory and wave coupling theory for Pockels effect are employed to study the process of light propagating along the crystals. The study demonstrates that the polarization converter can transform an arbitrary polarized light to any desired polarized light by varying the three external electric fields. The examples to transform an arbitrary light to a linearly polarized light,a circularly polarized light and a desired elliptically polarized light are given.

    A novel low-cost,small size variable fiber-optical attenuator (VFOA)device based on variable-focus microlens consisting of two kinds of liquids is put forward,whose basic structure includes a cylindrical precision tube sandwiched between two single-mode fibers (SMFs). Two kinds of immiscible liquids are placed inside the tube(water/oil/water),and constitute a thin liquid (oil) lens medium. The tube is made from electric conductor to acts as an electrode,and the other two electrodes are the right and left connectors connecting the conductive aqueous solution,respectively. The focal distance is tuned by changing the curvature of the meniscus through the effect of electro-wetting,so as to control SMFs coupling light intensity,and ultimately to achieve controlling optical attenuation. Theoretical analysis shows that the range of attenuation values of VFOA is 0~60 dB,and has a very good micro-loss characteristics of wavelength dependence.

    The human eye is an imperfect refractive system which has not only defocus and astigmatism,but also spherical aberration,coma and anomalistic high-order aberration,all of which have influence on the imaging quality of retina. What′s worse,aberration is further enlarged as a result of mydriasis in dark field and weak light,thus making the vision performance of human eyes far below diffraction limitation. In recent years,the measuring technology of wavefront aberration of human eyes has got constant development,and the advanced measuring instruments for measurement of ocular aberration appeared soon after. The measurement instruments based on Hartmann-Shack (HS) sensor are very popular. The errors analysis of the measuring instrument based on Hartmann-Shack wavefront sensor is introduced.

    We model the natural dustlike particles by using mixtures of polydisperse,randomly oriented spheroids with varying aspect ratios. The rigorous T-matrix method was used to compute the single scattering of dustlike aerosols,and the result was compared with the spherical particle and single shaped spheroids. The results show that the phase function averaged over a wide aspect-ratio distribution of spheroids is smooth,featureless,and flat at the side-scattering angle and closely resembles those natural dustlike particles. Based on the vector radiative transfer theory,the multiple scattering characteristics of unpolarized light in dustlike aerosols are computed by the vector adding method with this model,and the result indicates that significant errors will be caused with the application of any single shaped particles to compute the scattering characteristics of dustlike particles.

    GaN thin films have been grown on Si(111) substrates by metal-organic chemical-vapour deposition. The analyses of X-ray diffraction indicate that GaN is of wurtzite structure with the 〈0001〉 crystal orientation. Raman spectroscopy is used to study the sample under different pressures. The results of Raman spectroscopy,show that when the sample is under relaxation,GaN flims are in tensile stress the maximum of which is 342.272 MPa and Si substrates are in compressive stress. But due to the existence of a buffer layer between GaN flims and Si substrates,the values of tensile and compressive stress are not identical. After applying different pressures parallel to the (0002) plane of GaN,the peaks of GaN and Si are both blue shit as the pressures increasing,which supports that applied pressures lead to compressive stress in the interior of the sample.
