The infrared radiation characteristics of the environment for spacecraft play a significant role in the infrared characteristics of the spacecraft. Thus the study on infrared radiation of aircraft background is essential. The regime which only consists of the regional atmospheric climate system in the field is called limb background in the view of the atmosphere system of the earth. Based on moderate spectral resolution atmospheric radiation transmittance algorithm (MODTRAN) atmospheric radiation model, the atmospheric radiation transmission theory is used to establish the limb infrared radiation model. Limb background infrared radiations are calculated at all latitudes in the typical wavelength ranges of 3~5 μm and 8~14 μm , including the seasons of winter and summer. The results show that the main factors affecting the limb background infrared radiation are tangent altitude, latitude, season, aerosol and wavelength range. These provide theoretical supports for the detection of limb background infrared radiation.

    By analyzing the ultra fine atmospheric CO2 absorption spectrum, the infrared laser wavelength can be choiced for detecting the atmosphere CO2 concentration. It can provide the basis for a wide spectrum infrared lidar. The spectrum of wide spectrum infrared laser is much wider than the differential absorption lidar, and it has no use for high frequency locking technology. Also, this technology can avoid differential absorption lidar measurement error by the on wavelength shift. By analyzing the water vapour absorption spectrum, super luminescent diode (SLED)′s luminescent spectrum and InGaAs infrared detector′s response spectrum, the wide spectrum laser center wavelength is 1572 nm and the spectral range is 1568~1575 nm in theory. By the experimental laser source,the results show that the center wavelength is 1571 nm, the spectral range is 1564~1578 nm, the output power is 0.01 mW. This laser can avoid the influence by the water vapour absorption, and it is simple, low cost and easy to build. It can help for the development of the atmosphere CO2 concentration detecting by the wide spectrum infrared lidar.

    Using spaceborne platform for underwater laser detection has many advantages, including a large coverage area, high detection efficiency, good mobility, good concealment, and fast information transmission, however its implementation is difficulty greatly. In order to detect the target information reflecting the characteristics effectively, laser pulse signal needs to be through space channel, atmospheric channel, and water channel, and that is all bidirectional transmission, the link is very complicated. Through the establishment of laser transmission model and analysis of the link energy loss, the theory feasibility of spaceborne underwater lasertarget detection is verified.

    Cassegrain antenna can be easily installed and its structure is much simpler. However, the blind area caused by the secondary mirror costs the transmission lost. A novel transceiver antenna based on Cassegrain telescope, which makes full use of Cassegrain antenna effective area (area outside part) as transmitting, is proposed. To effectively avoid the influence of blind zone, the annular distribution and off-axis transmission of four GRIN-lens glued fiber structures transverses insteads Gaussian distribution and along-axis transmission of the lasers. The large aperture plastic fiber is used as the receiving method to improve the coupling efficiency and it makes transmitting align with receiving easily. The test results show that the transceiver antenna is easy to align at a low transmission loss costs. It satisfies the requirements of the general free space optical communication (FSO) system, and ultimately achieves transceiver integrated in one Cassegrain antenna.

    A tunable bi-directional optical add-drop multiplexer (Bi-OADM) based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is proposed and demonstrated. The center wavelength of the optical add-drop multiplexer (OADM) is tuned without chirp by using open and closed piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) separately. The tunable range can reach 6 nm, while the range of commercial eight wavelengths multiplexing system is 5.6 nm. The experiment shows a good reproducibility in the voltage load and unload curves when using open loop in small voltage and using closed loop in big voltage (more than 80 V). Employing optical switches and alternate-path switching scheme, the bi-directional transmission can make one-direction light path normally transmit when the other direction light path is fail in the ring network, which can greatly improve the reliability of OADM. The experimental results indicate that the tunable Bi-OADM shows a low insert loss (4 dB).

    In recent years, reconfigurable optical add drop multiplexers (ROADM) and multiple-dimensions optical cross-connection (OXC), as the essential devices of next-generation dynamic optical networks, have been attracted great interests by research institutions and relevant industry. 1′N wavelength selective switch (WSS) is one of the key components in current and next generation ROADM. However, most WSS modules of the present have the disadvantages of complex optical system, large insertion loss and high crosstalk, as well as the imperfection of the port number and the channels number. So, a high port-count 1×32 WSS based on liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) technology is demonstrated, which has a flexible- tuning bandwidth. By uploading phase holograms at the corresponding locations on the LCoS device, the system allows a certain wavelength of the entire C-band DWDM channels to be switched from any input port to any output port. Experimental results demonstrate the insertion loss is around 5 dB to 25 dB. The 3 dB bandwidth of signal is 40 GHz at the grid of 100 GHz and the bandwidth is tunable from 50 GHz continuously with the step of 1 GHz. The research can provide the theory and experiment foundation for the development of M×N WSS in the future.

    The basic principle of polarization switching to eliminate polarization- induced fading in fiber optic interferometers is studied. A theoretical model is constructed and the complex method of complex is introduced to solve the problem that four signals compose one signal. Theoretical analysis and simulation show that polarization switching can eliminate polarization-induced fading. An experimental system based on non-balanced Michelson interferometer is built. Using phase generation carrier (PGC) modulation technology to demodulate signal, the antipolarization effect of the four-way polarization switching is tested by experiment. The results show that the birefrigent effect of the lead fiber can be eliminated after the signal is composed. After four signals compose one signal in the experiment, its visibility can be a stable level of 0.838. The result keeps with the visibility of Michelson interferometer under ideal condition, which proves the feasibility of polarization switching in elimination of polarization-induced fading.

    To the satellite-to-ground (STG) optical communication, the circular polarization laser is an optimum choice for the information transmission. Firstly, the influence factors of the polarization characteristics of the optical system are analyzed by the Fresnel formula and the Jones Matrix. Then the structure of a practical STG laser communication transmitting optical system and the designed transmittance curves of several different bandpass filtering films in the system are given. Propagation of the linear polarization laser in the optical system is simulated by the optical software ZEMAX. The results indicate that the beam splitters and mirrors on a 45° tilt make the greatest contributions to the polarization state transform. Ordinary depolarization film can only prove that the power pcomponent and s-component transmittances are identical. But the phase delay of p-light and s-light still exist, which can make the polarization state change. By adjusting the direction of the incident light vector to the incident plane, the instrument polarization error induced by the optical system can be reduced to the minimum.

    A method on controllable reconstruction of Fresnel computer-generated hologram watermark for digital hologram has been proposed. Complex amplitude distribution is obtained by calculating discrete Fresnel transformation of the watermark object wave in the holographic plane, and the watermark and the diffraction distribution signal are double-random-phase modulated to improve security. The encryption data are reprocessed and modulated to get real-coded CGH watermark. The encoded signal after the discrete cosine transformation is added to medium frequency component with certain intensity. The watermark can be blind extracted without the host hologram signal. The results show that the approach behaves good invisibility and is robust to many attacks such as cropping, JPEG compression, filtering, rotation, scaling, etc. The method has good digital reconstruction quality for both the host hologram and the watermark. The size and position of the watermark can be easily adjusted by changing the magnification and the reconstructed wave. The zero-order image elimination of the host hologram does not affect the extraction of the watermark.

    In order to detect the three-dimensional distribution of transient wavefront, a shearing interferometric measurement system with common path configuration is proposed. The system uses a chessboard grating and aperture to divide the wavefront under test into four replicas with shear. Each two of the replicas are coherent to form an interferogram with high carrier frequency. According to the transport of intensity equation and Fourier optics, the theoretical model of shearing interferometric measurement system is established and the wavefront under test is reconstructed by Fourier transform algorithm. A calibration method of shear is proposed. The design of chessboard grating is given by discussing linear carrier frequency and diffraction efficiency of the grating. Experimentally the proposed system is applied to measure transient wavefront, and automatic measurement with high precision is achieved. Peak-to-valley (PV) value, root-mean-square (RMS) value and Zernike fitting coefficient of the measured result are in good agreement with those obtained by SID4 wavefront sensor.

    The laser cladding layer on the 304 stainless steel surface is modified by a high-frequency microforging process. The microstructure and phase constitution of the laser cladding layer before and after the high-frequency microforging treatment are characterized by using optical microscopy and X-ray diffraction. The microhardness distribution and corrosion property of the counterparts are examined by Vickers microhardness tester and the electrochemical work station, respectively. The results show that laser cladding layer is of a broken dendritic microstructure and refined grain size after microforging, while there is no obvious change in the phase constitution. The microhardness of the microforged area is greatly enhanced with an affected depth of 0.65 mm. The average microhardness of the surface is improved by about 30% and the microhardness increment decreases gradually with the increasing distance from the top of the cladding layer. The corrosion resistance of the laser cladding layer is improved by nearly two folds after microforging.

    The parameter control method is utilized to carry out the experimental investigation for the single pulse laser drilling of aluminum alloy 5052 sheets. Effects of pulse width, pulse recurrence frequency, and defocusing amount on microhole formation characteristics for laser drilling are achieved and the reasonable process parameter ranges are obtained, which can be the technical reference of process optimization and parameter selection for the pulsed laser drilling of aluminum alloy 5052. It shows that the laser pulse width can obviously influence the microhole diameter. Besides, the alteration of the pulse recurrence frequency may also result in the change of the drilled microhole diameter, that is, the entry hole diameter increases with the pulse repetition frequency. However, the radial size alteration for the exit hole shows a reverse trend. In addition, less tapered microholes with relatively small diameters can be drilled through appropriately decreasing pulse repetition frequency, reducing defocusing amount, and increasing pulse width.

Bending deformation, residual stress and surface morphology are studied on laser-shocked specimens. It is found that laser power density and coverage rate strongly influence plastic strains and its distributions, which drive specimens to curve. The laser-shocked surfaces becomes uniform with coverage rate increasing. For specimens of thickness more than 4mm, curvature radius are proportional to specimen thickness, and the compressive residual stresses on shock surface gets more relaxed with arc height increasing.

    Phase microscopic imaging technology has an important application significance in morphological identification as well as classification of biological cells. An interferometric imaging method is introduced, which is based on a high stability common-path interference system. In this approach, a reflecting mirror is employed to divide one beam into two parts. Then interferogram can be obtained by the overlap of these two beams. It is worth pointing out that, the interferogram can be amplified by means of geometrical magnification of the light instead of microobjective. Furthermore, the on-axis, off-axis and micro off-axis phase microscopy images can be obtained by controlling the angular position of the reflecting mirror. Then the structure of the sample can be acquired by phase retrieval. The method is suggested to be feasible by theoretical analysis and experiment result, which can provide a approach to phase microscopy imaging.

    Photoacoustic imaging has recently emerged as a promising imaging modality for prostate cancer. Knowledge of absorbed light distribution in prostate tissues is essential since the distribution characteristics of absorbed light energy will influence the imaging depth and range of photoacoustic imaging (PAI). In this paper, a tumor-embedded prostate optical model was established. Light absorption distribution patterns of the tissue model through trans-urethral laser illumination using cylindrical diffusing light (CDL) and spherical diffusing light (SDL) were studied based on the Molecular Optical Simulation Environment (MOSE). In addition, the influence of laser energy and absorption coefficient of tumor on the light absorption in tumor was demonstrated. The results show that laser illumination from urethral allows the prostate tissues to obtain more efficient light absorption. The light absorption distribution of tumors irradiated by CDL has a relatively uniform characteristic in a large range, with its value around the light source less than that of SDL. Laser energy and tumor absorption coefficient has linear effect on the light absorption of tumor, which is consistent with the Beer Law. The conclusions will be helpful to optimize the laser source and to improve the imaging depth in a photoacoustic imaging system.

    The autocorrelation characteristics of the noise-like pulse generated from fiber laser are investigated using numerical analysis. Numerically calculated autocorrelation traces agree with experimental results. By changing the parameters, it is found that the pedestal and the spike reflect the average pulse width and intrapulse width, respectively. Increasing intra- pulse number in a noise- like pulse leads to a smaller spike- topedestal intensity ratio, while the width of the pedestal and the spike are not obviously influenced. Numerical analyses show that the contrast ratio of the interferometric autocorrelation trace less than 8∶1, which is detected in experiment, is determined by the noise-like pulse width ,pulse chirp and scan range.

    High-numerical aperture (NA>0.45) extreme ultraviolet lithography is a promising candidate for 11 nm node lithography, and the tolerances of the objective system are rigorous due to high resolution image. The singular value decomposition (SVD) of the sensitivity matrix from sensitive mirrors is used to select efficient compensators for an extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithographic objective with a numerical aperture of 0.50. The method requires that the amounts of configuration parameters is less than that of the aberration parameters, so the sensitive mirrors are confirmed and the sensitivity matrix is obtained by the configuration parameters of the sensitive mirrors. Then the sensitive and efficient compensators are selected to relax the other tolerances and compensate the worse of image quality by using the SVD of the sensitivity matrix. Using the above method, eight compensators are selected and other tolerances are assigned. Result shows that the RMS wavefront error of the objective system is less than 0.5 nm in the probability of 97.7% and the most rigorous tolerances are in the range of micron and microradian respectively.

    Airborne Lidar point cloud data filtering is one of the difficulties and emphases in the study of Lidar data post-processing, and also the primary problem needed to be solved. Least squares adjustment is used to fit block terrain in traditional moving curved fitting filtering method, but this method is sensitive to outliers. Aiming at solving this disadvantage, robust estimation theory is introduced to fit block terrain more reasonably, and self-adaption threshold is set to distinguish between ground and non-ground points automatically. The test data provided by International Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ISPRS) are adopted for experiment. Compared with 8 classical filtering methods, experimental results prove that, robust estimation can provide more reasonable fitting curve, which means that the proposed method is practical with reliable filtering results and has strong adaptability to various terrains.

    In view of the problem that overlapping pulses in small footprint full waveform airborne laser scanning waveform data are difficult to parse and the actual measurement wave data usually shows the broadening or peak form. A combination method of wavelet transform and generalized Gaussian model (WT-GGM) is proposed to resolve the wave data of airborne LiDAR. The wavelet transform method with the characteristics of multi-resolution analysis shows the unique advantages in detecting the non-stationary, weak, transient and singular signals. The compare generalized Gaussian model as the waveform component modeling model can effectively dispose the broadening or peak form by adjusting its shape parameter. In order to verify the validity of the proposed algorithm, a contrast experiment of waveform analysis is carried out by using the WT-GGM method, the COG method, the GIPM method and the RGD algorithm. The results show that the wavelet transform can effectively decompose the targets within the overlapping waveform. And the number of targets detected by the WT-GGM method is roughly the same with the GIPM and RGD method, two times of the COG method.

    In practical applications, the effect of the temperature changing rate on the thermal drift error of a fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) can not be ignored fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) due to temperature variation. Effect of temperature variation on thermal drift error of FOG in theory is analyzed. Then a temperature cycling experiment is designed to obtain the thermal drift error in seven temperature rates. Based on experimental data, a function is utilized to describe the relationship between temperature changing rate and thermal drift error of the FOG. With this fitting function, the thermal drift error of a FOG under any temperature changing rate will be obtained, and parameters of the function can be used to evaluate the thermal performance of a FOG.

    Pulsed laser deposition technology, which is considered to be one of the best method for preparing function films, has the large development potential and broad application. It′s indicated that: mostly all the films could be prepared by pulsed laser deposition technology; most of pulsed laser depositions are carried out by excimer laser with the wavelength of 248 nm whose photon energy is high, and most of films are prepared by single laser in the gas and heater condition; the films prepared by pulsed laser deposition are amorphous or polycrystalline, and a few of single crystal films are prepared just in the condition of very high temperature and vacuum. On the base of the characteristics of this technology, the pulsed laser deposition system with magnetic filter technology is designed and founded to supply the technology and hardware base for improving the performances of function films prepared by pulsed laser deposition.

    MCrAlY coatings prepared by conventional methods have polycrystalline structure, micropores and cracks. The high-temperature oxidation resistance of MCrAlY coatings needs to be improved. Many measurements have been put forward by domestic and foreign researchers to improve their high-temperature oxidation resistance. These methods are reviewed and the related problems are also analyzed. Moreover, the method on cryomilling inducing the columnar growth of MCrAlY coatings by laser-induction hybrid cladding (LIHRC) is put forward. NiCr powder (or NiCr powder, Co powder), Al powder and Y2O3 powder are treated by mechanical alloying in high-energy milling apparatus to obtain the cladding powder consisting of γ-Ni/γ′-Ni3Al with large amounts of internal defects. The cryomilled MCrAlY powder presents the polygonal morphology. Preheating the substrate by induction heater is combined with laser cladding simultaneously. This method can not only obtain the crack-free MCrAlY coatings, but also induce the columnar growth in MCrAlY coatings. The high-temperature oxidation resistance of MCrAlY coating is improved significantly.
