The influence of curved surface on the method of polychromatic speckle measuring surface roughness is studied by introducing, surface curvature radius. The rough surface and the polychromatic speckle patterns near rough surface are simulated, and the influence of different curvature radii of rough surface on the simulated speckle patterns and ratio of speckle elongation is discussed. The results show that the factor of curvature radius of rough surface is valid in trichromatic speckle autocorrelation measurement, and the simulated speckle patterns and speckle elongation of rough surface are more similar to those of the straight surface when the curvature radius of the rough surface is larger. The larger the curvature radius is, the larger the speckle elongation becomes, and the smaller the deviation of measured surface roughness is. Therefore, influence of curvature of rough surface on measurement precision should be considered during the measuring process.

    The new infrared material (1-x)Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3-xPbTiO3(PMN-PT) has more sensitivities and noises because of its perfect piezoelectric and pyroelectric performances. The characteristic noises in the new infrared sensor are analyzed. We use the algorithm of auto-correlation and wavelet transform to analyze the model of readout signal with white noise and 1/f noise at 0 dB simulated by computer. The noise of actual signal is reduced by wavelet transform through field-programmable gate array (FPGA). The result shows that the auto-correlation can only reduce white noise, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the signal after de-noise is improved by 5.5 dB. While the wavelet transform can reduce temperature noise, white noise and 1/f noise. The SNR of the signal after de-noise is improved by 15 dB.

    Turbo product code (TPC) is introduced into free space optical communication (FSO) system to mitigate impact of random and long deep fade caused by atmospheric turbulence. After FSO system model is set up, the anti-burst error ability of TPC is studied. Also the algorithm of bit confidence measurement under weak turbulence and Gaussian cascaded channel is derived. The performances of TPC under weak turbulence and influential factors are analyzed. Simulations show that, TPC compensates the losses of random and deep fade effectively and makes coded FSO adapted to different turbulence conditions. To obtain more coding gain, the subcode of TPC should be insured high code rate as a priority, meanwhile its error correction ability should be considered. The number of iteration being 3~4 can achieve good balance between the performance and complexity.

    Based on the coupled mode theory, by using the time-domain transfer matrix method, the bistable characteristics of nonlinear Bragg gratings (NLBG) are analyzed numerically. The results show that under steady case, various tapered factors have a different effects on the threshold switching energy and also positive and negative taper can cause the response of optical isolator in NLBG. On the other hand, with the continuous wave taken into consideration, the periodic self-pulsation may emerge extremely easy under the dynamic conditions in NLBG. As the input power increases to the critical intensity, the self-pulsation transforms into the chaos. For a certain tapered factor, the pulsation width and the frequency of the self-pulsation will reduce with the increase of coupling coefficient, but the output state will transform into relaxation damped oscillation when the coupling coefficient reaches a certain value.

    Lucky imaging technique is an image post-processing method based on selecting-recentring-coadding of sequence short-exposure images of objects, which can reduce the influence of image quality because of turbulence-induced imaging motion-blur restoration and reduce the resolution loss. The basic theory and flow of the lucky imaging are described and the experimental observation of crescent through atmospheric turbulence is reported. Results show that the lucky imaging technique can improve the imaging resolution of spatial objects through atmospheric turbulence. The image enhancement for lucky imaging results based on wavelet transform is processed. The results after enhancement show that the image enhancement technique can improve the imaging resolution farther and the visual effect.

    The theory of image degraded model and maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) are introduced in brief. Then the defect of the MAP, the constraints of the Gibbs term (the second term of the objective function) to pixels with different gradients unbalanced are analysed. Based on this defect, a modified MAP algorithm for reconstruction is presented. The gradient matrix gotten from the interpolated image of the low-resolution image to modify the Gibbs term is used, so that the constraints are balanced to some extent. Then the updated MAP objective function is minimized by conjugate gradient method and the modified algorithm is simulated. The results show that, compared with the original MAP algorithm, the modified MAP algorithm can keep details well, and control noise (generated in reconstruction process) greatly in the reconstruction, and the image quality is improved obviously. Meanwhile, the modified MAP algorithm is steady and convergent in solving the problem.

    A novel method of directional adaptive filter for fringe image is proposed based on the investigation of pretreatment method of fringe image on three-dimensional pattern profilometry technique. For a fringe image filter, the direction and the size of filter window are quite sensitive characteristics. The gray values of the stripe image change periodically in the normal direction, and keep almost the same values in the stripe direction. The fringe direction is calculated by gravity method. The size of data window is automatically adjusted according to the linear dependency to get the correct direction. The length and the width of the filter window are optimized based on the filtering result checking. By this algorithm, it can get the correct stripe direction and the right size parameters of the filter windows, as a result to get the qualified filtered image. This method is verified by the experiments.

    The phase shifting interference technology is one of the principal methods of high accuracy surface profile measurement. The phase unwrapping is a challenging problem when the pattern contains high level noises and bulk invalid regions. We improve seed-unwrapping algorithm through identifying the residues with combination of their three neighborhoods, marking discontinuities before unwrapping and after unwrapping, and recovering the residues and discontinuities with average value of their neighborhoods after unwrapping. The simulation indicates that it is robust for unwrapping of patterns with high noises and bulk invalid regions, and there are no high noisy points in the images unwrapped by the improved algorithm, and the unwrapped images can be well smoothed by average value filter.

    Based on one-dimensional numerical model for resonant cavity, the dependence of laser spectrum on resonant cavity parameters in quarter-wavelength phase-shifted distributed feedback laser diodes (QPS-DFB-LD) is studied. Comparing theoretical calculation result with measured spectrum, the model parameters of QPS-DFB-LD used in theoretical calculation are given. Simulation results show that the minor deviation of QPS (<10%) cannot affect laser spectrum greatly, but brings a minor blue shift and a slight change on the side-mode-suppression-ration (SMSR). Once the deviation of QPS exists, higher output power will be obtained from the facet closer to QPS region while lower output power will be collected from the other facet. The side of output spectrum SMSR closer to QPS region will be slightly higher. After coating anti-reflective film, residue reflection index of both facets will introduce a drift to the laser mode wavelength within certain range, and will deteriorate the SMSR.

    The concept of relative dilution ratio of the substrate and its calculation formula are suggested in studying multi-pass laser cladding dilution ratio. And the heat effects of the first pass on the second pass and relative dilution ratio of the substrate are discussed in the respective of the cooling time, overlapping center offset and overlapping ratio. For the GH4033 substrate, it takes 360 s to decrease the heat effect of the first pass on the second pass markedly and to make relative dilution ratio of the substrate near to zero. The larger the overlapping center offset, the less the relative dilution ratio of the substrate is. Overlapping ratio of 50% is appropriate for multi-pass laser cladding.

    The relationship between different matrix of fixed abrasive pad(FAP) and the polishing performance of K9 glass is studied under the same chemical mechanical polishing process parameters. Swelling ratio and pencil hardness are selected to evaluate the matrix properties of FAP, and material removal rate (MRR) and 3D-profile surface roughness (Sa) are selected to evaluate machining performance of FAP. The results show that the swelling rate and the pencil hardness of the two substrates together influence the performance of the MRR and surface roughness of the sample. With increasing the swelling rate of matrix, the MRR of sample reduces, and the surface roughness of sample increases; with the increase of wet pencil hardness of the sample, the MRR will also increase accordingly, while the surface roughness of sample based on a value of the swelling rate increases at first and then decreases, and hydrophilic FAP can stand long-time steady processing, which demonstrates the self-conditioning capabilities.
