Continuous faceplate discrete actuator deformable mirror (CFDA-DM) is the most important device in adaptive optics. In high power laser systems, this kind of deformable mirror (DM) is apt to produce thermal deformation, which can seriously affect the compensation ability of DM and the output beam quality. Experimental platform is set up to study DM thermal deformation. In the experiment, when DM is continuously irradiated by 2.5 kW laser for 130 s, the peak-to-valley value (dPV) of wavefront increases from 0.0806λ (before irradiation) to 0.5423λ, the higher order aberration of faceplate is 0.1220λ, and the low order aberration is mainly defocus and astigmatism. After dPV of a zero degree astigmatism is compensated from 0.4853λ to 0.0707λ, DM is irradiated by 2.5 kW laser for 180 s again. In consequence, the dPV of wavefront increases from 0.0707λ to 0.7548λ, and the higher order aberration of wavefront is 0.2487λ. The above results show that the thermal deformation does not only lead to lower order aberration, but also produce higher order aberration, which cannot be compensated by DM itself. The higher order aberration is the key factor that influences the output beam quality of high power laser systems.

Laser communication is a new hot spot in underwater wireless communication. It′s the key in channel research to evaluate the laser transmission attenuation under seawater environment accurately. A new remote sensing inversion algorithm is proposed by synthesizing the existed QAA-RGR (Quasi-Analytical Algorithm Red-Green-Bands-Ratio) remote sensing inversion algorithm and the national satellite ocean application service (NSOAS) model, which can evaluate the attenuation coefficient spectra based on moderate-resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) land bands data directly. Compared the absorption coefficient spectrum and scattering coefficient spectrum, which is estimated by inversion algorithm with MODIS L2 level data, the feasibility of the inversion algorithm is verified. It is important to analysis and understand the optical properties of seawater at coastal areas dynamically.

Solar spatial position is a very important navigation information in the field of navigation by using atmospheric polarization pattern. And how to get the solar spatial position is very important in navigation. A method based on Rayleigh atmosphere polarization pattern and K-means clustering algorithm is introduced to calculate the solar spatial position. The atmospheric polarized model of skylight is established on the basis of the Rayleigh scattering theory of atmosphere. According to the basic regularities of atmospheric polarization pattern, data of the polarization (DOP) are analyzed by the method of K-means clustering algorithm. The problem of solving position of the sun is transformed into the problem of solving the center of K-means cluster. Finally, the simulation experiment and practical experiment are carried out to verify the algorithm. The experiment shows that, at different times of the same day under clear weather, the errors of the solar position and altitude angle are all less than 0.01°. The algorithm error is smooth, and the relative error can reach higher precision. The solar spatial space can be effectively solved by atmospheric polarization pattern.

Because the signal attenuation is great in sea channel so as to seriously impact on the performance of communication system, an excellent error correcting code is necessary to reduce the error rate of data transmission in underwater optical communication. A system model of underwater optical communication is established by combining low density parity-check code with pulse position modulation. A simplified soft demodulation based on the general PPM soft demodulation is used to reduce the complexity of the algorithm, which is convenient for hardware implementation. What's more, the simplified soft demodulation method is very suitable for the extraction of soft information in sea channel because it does not need the detailed features of channel. The error performance between the general method and simplified method is analyzed by using Matlab software. According to the simulation results, the system code gain by using simplified method is decreased because of the simplified extraction of soft information, but it is still higher than code gain of the uncoded system. When PPM order is lower, the performance by using simplified method is even superior to that by Solomon Reed code. On the whole, the scheme of the simplified soft demodulation based on the combination of LDPC and PPM is very suitable for underwater optical communication in huge ranges of applications.

The anti-reflection sub-wavelength gratings are placed at the inner cavity of the micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) wavelength tunable vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL), top surface and bottom surface of the top distributed Bragg reflectors(DBR), respectively. The effects of the positions on the wavelength tuning range, the standing wave field and the resonant cavity wavelength are analyzed. The simulation results demonstrate that when the sub-wavelength grating is placed in the inner cavity of the MEMS wavelength tunable VCSEL, the largest wavelength tuning range can be achieved, which can reach 54 nm, while the largest wavelength tuning ranges for the other two structures are 40 nm and 33 nm, respectively. It is known by analysis of the standing wave field that the active region energy is 0.36% of the total energy when the sub-wavelength grating is set on the top surface of the top DBR, while it is 0.08% and 0.02% when the sub-wavelength gratings are set in the inner cavity and on the bottom surface of the top DBR. In addition, the resonant cavity wavelength with the corresponding to the transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) polarizations appears the separation of 8.3 nm and 10.1 nm when the sub-wavelength gratings are put in the inner cavity and on the bottom surface of the top DBR, while it has not separation for the top surface of the top DBR. Thus, the polarization stable principles of the three structures are different.

Aiming at the problem of low mixing efficiency caused by unstable signal polarization states because of moving reflector in the periscopic laser communication terminal, a real-time polarization compensation method based on rotating waveplates is presented, by which 45° linear-polarized receiving signal light is kept so as to improve the system mixing efficiency. The geometric model of periscopic scanner is established, and based on it, the polarization transmission characteristics are analyzed by three-dimensional polarization tracks method, and the system polarization transmission matrix is obtained as well. The polarization states of output beams under different azimuths and pitch angles are given and the connection between rotation angles of polarization compensation elements (1/4 waveplate and 1/2 waveplate) and azimuths and pitch angles of periscopic scanner is established. The effect of the waveplates rotating anlgle errors on the polarization state of output light is analyzed.

In modern war weapons and inertial navigation systems, the fiber optic gyro (FOG) is required to start quickly. The effect of temperature on the scale factor error in the process of FOG startup is studied. The FOG startup time is closely related to the output performance of a superluminescent diode (SLD). The effect of the SLD output wavelength on the FOG scale factor error is studied, and the theoretical results are analyzed in simulation and verified experimentally. The results show that the change of SLD output wavelength caused by the temperature change seriously affect the scale factor error in the process of FOG startup. The larger the temperature change is, the larger the scale factor error in the process of FOG startup is. The maximum scale factor error is up to 0.048, 0.0144, 0.025 when the temperature is -20, 50, 70 ℃, and the startup time is up to 6, 7, 11 s respectively.

To deal with the difficulty in realizing optical phase-locked loop (OPLL) and shorten capture time in satellites coherent light communication, a heterodyne detection and digital signal processor (DSP) based integrated method of communication and velocity measurement is proposed, which uses the frequency shift estimation and phase recovery technology in optical fiber communication. Principle and feasibility of the method are analyzed theoretically and verified experimentally. Simulation results show that when the received power is higher than -48.14 dBm under the mode of communication, the bit error rate (BER) of the system is better than 10-4, and when the signal noise ratio (SNR) is higher than 17 dB under the mode of velocity measurement, the estimation accuracy of the satellite radial relative velocity is superior to 0.62 m/s.

The signal crosstalk value of the sensor array element caused by the end reflection is tested by experiment. According to the mechanism of the signal crosstalk, the suppression method of the fiber-end reflection is proposed, and it is verified by experiment. After suppression of the fiber-end reflection, the crosstalk value is less than -70 dB due to the fiber-end reflection, which can meet the requirement of actual use of the fiber grating sensor array.

The joint Fresnel transform correlator is achieved by using a phase-only spatial light modulator to encode linear phase mask. Under the illumination of monochromatic plane wave, the reference image and the target image are modulated by the linear phase mask. In the plane where Fresnel diffraction field centers are superimposed, the joint Fresnel transform power distribution (JFTPD) of the reference image and the target image can be recorded with a CCD camera. The JFTPD is input to the optical Fourier inverse transform system, and the correlation spots can be obtained in the output plane after Fourier inverse transform. The results of numerical simulations and experiments show that the correlator can output sharp correlation peaks, and the correlation peak values are sensitive to the relative position of the reference image and the target image. When the distance between the reference image and the target image changes by -30 pixel and +40 pixel, the correlation peak value decreases to 23% and 48% respectively.

Based on the principle of block splice texture image synthesis, spiral searching path to search matching texture blocks for improving the texture image synthesis speed is studied. In addition, the matching quality is improved, by increasing the number of sample space texture matching blocks. A new texture synthesis algorithm is proposed through a study in sampling space, search methods and similarity of texture block. According to new texture generated by output image, synthesized output images are seen as part of the sample space to enhance the texture blocks probability of matching, by increasing the number of texture matching block in the sample space. The spiral searching manner is used to reduce the search time greatly and improve the synthetic speed. The gradient and color of texture block are taken as the similarity parameters between the two matching blocks, for identifying the similarity degree of two matching blocks. Compared with the traditional algorithms, the proposed algorithm can improve the synthetic speed and synthetic quality with the experimental verification.

Compressed imaging avoids pursuing large array devices in infrared band, and it can solve problems like the heterogeneity which is difficult to eliminate during the image acquisition, low sound to noise ratio, higher and higher cost of acquiring, transmitting and storing images in the aerospace imaging applications and so on.

The signal subspace analysis is introduced in quality assessment of the reconstructed image to estimate the signal to noise ratio of the reconstructed image. Experimental results show that the proposed estimation method is more accurate and effective.

In order to eliminate the subdivision error of moiré fringe signals in the circular grating measurement process, a parameter identification and deviation compensation method for grating sampled signal is proposed. The method is based on the parameter identification theory of the genetic algorithm and cannot be affected by initial signal model parameters with characteristics of optimization and applicability. The regenerated signal model can fit the original signal well. The periodic signals between two grating pitches are sampled with grating rotating at a constant speed in sampling experiments. From the sampled discrete data, the frequency spectra are obtained and analyzed for establishing the mathematical model of grating signals. The parameters which cause the subdivision error are identified by using the genetic algorithm to compensate the subdivision error. The experimental results show that the parameters of signal model constructed by genetic algorithm are identified accurately. The sine deviation of moiré fringe signals is compensated by comparing the Lissajous figures with and without compensation. The subdivision error detected in one grating pitch decreases from 10.65″ to 3.31″. This method can actually be used in grating encoder system and other displacement measuring systems, which ensures the measurement accuracy and reliability.

The phase unwrapping algorithms are divided into the path-dependent type and the path-independent type, and can be widely used in the field of optical measurements. An improved path-independent phase unwrapping algorithm based on total-variation minimum denoising is proposed to wipe off the remained noise in the residual phase. Firstly, the phase gradient is determined from the wrapped phase map and subsequently denoised by the total-variation minimization based method. Thus, an approximate phase unwrapped map can be obtained by integrating the denoised phase gradient, and the residual phase map is denoised. The final phase unwrapped map is subsequently determined by adding the first few modes of the unwrapped phase. Error values of unwrapped phase before and after denoising are compared with the original phase by simulations and experiments. The results show that the values of peak-valley and root-mean-square of unwrapped phase with residual phase denoised are lower than those of unwrapped phase with residual phase not denoised.

To accomplish the high-precision testing of aspherical mirror with large aperture and deviation, a hybrid compensation detection model combining subaperture stitching with compensator is proposed. The model can realize high resolution detection of the detected mirror and provide guidance for subsequent processing when the accuracy of the mirror is not high enough to be achieved by the dynamic range of the interferometer. At the same time, it′s beyond the testing accuracy of the profile measurement. To evaluate the validity of the proposed model, a 1450 mm off-axis parabolic mirror with the hybrid compensation method is tested. To evaluate the testing accuracy, the testing result with the subaperture testing result is compared. The peak and valley value and root mean square value of the residual between them is 0.030λ and 0.003λ respectively, verifying the accuracy and validity of the model.

For the problem of weak exciting ability and short source life of xenon lamp in fluorescence imaging system, we proposed a new fluorescence excitation method that uses supercontinuum laser (SCL) to be the excitation source in bioluminescence imaging technology. The fluorescence imaging experiments of the fluorescence imaging test card by the two excitation sources were carried out and then the experiments at different SCL excitation power spectrum density were also completed. By the method of linear fitting and extrapolation, we analyzed the fluorescence excitation ability of the two sources at the same exposure time and power spectrum density. We obtain a conclusion that the fluorescence excitation intensity of SCL source is nearly twice of that of xenon lamp. Finally, through the analysis of the average and maximum photon density of the test perssad under two sources, the experiment results are proved again. The work is conducive to solve the problem of the source life and the fluorescence excitation ability of the light source in fluorescence imaging system.

In addition, based on the beam quality analysis instrument, the theoretical results are tested. The results show that the influence of the measurement error in the light spot width on the laser beam quality is much stronger than that in the longitudinal position.

Irradiation experiments are conducted on the SiC ceramic using excimer lasers with different pulse number, single-pulse energy, and repetition frequency. The two-dimensional and three-dimensional damage morphologies of irradiation-damaged SiC ceramic are acquired, and the microscopic damage mechanism is analyzed. The results indicate that, with 193 nm excimer laser irradiating on SiC ceramic, both the photo-thermal and photo-chemical effects are involved and the photo-thermal effect is dominant. The macroscopic damage morphology is closely related to laser irradiation parameters and the increment of either the irradiation pulse number or single-pulse energy aggravates the irradiation damage. Increasing the laser repetition frequency results in a little reduction of scratch depth.

In order to precisely examine the feature of impulse vector driven by high-energy pulsed laser irradiating space debris, on the basis of assuming linear variations of ablation threshold coefficient, incident laser fluence, and impulse coupling coefficient with the on-target laser fluence, a treatment scheme is proposed to elaborately describe the impulse coupling coefficient, and the numerical calculation method of impulse vector is further improved. By taking cylinder debris as an example and referring to simulation experiment, the effect of impulse coupling coefficient on impulse vector is analyzed from different perspectives, and it is pointed out that moderately increasing the incident laser fluence can significantly increase the impulse vector.

The high power fiber laser is used to conduct a welding experiment on 3 mm thick aluminum alloy, and the effects of the defocusing amount on the morphology, penetration depth, penetration width, root humps, aspect ratios, and width ratio coefficient of weld pools are systematically investigated. The results show that, with the increase of the defocusing amount, the welding mode is transformed from the deep-penetration welding to heat-conduction one, the weld width does not change obviously, the root hump height and the width ratio coefficient decrease; with the high power fiber laser, the degree of welding bead subsidence and the height of root humps can be reduced by cutting back the negative defocusing amount or transforming into positive defocus; with the low power fiber laser, the back weld width could be increased by strengthening the negative defocusing amount or reducing the positive defocusing amount.

It is proposed that a slave semiconductor laser (SL) with dual-path injection (DPI) can be driven by a master SL with double optical feedback (DOF) to conceal the time delay signature from both intensity and phase chaos. With the usage of auto-correlation function (ACF) and mutual information (MI) function, the time delay signature concealment effects under different schemes are compared and analyzed. The research results indicate that, as for the same type of lasers with the same parameter ranges, the time delay signature can be better concealed with the DOF-DPI scheme than the other schemes. In addition, as for the scheme with chaotic light injection, the concealing effect of the phase time delay characteristic is better than that of the intensity time delay characteristic; on the same concealment level of time delay characteristic peaks, the DOF-DPI scheme has a wider parameter range than the other schemes.

A new saliency detection optimization method is proposed to satisfy the accuracy requirement of saliency detection in the natural scene. The method can divide an image into multiple superpixel areas using the simple linear iterative clustering algorithm, and extract the contrast feature of color regions. The general target geometric center is located by the Harris corner detection algorithm. The center probability is used to describe the target space distribution feature, and the adaptive feature fusion for the target location is carried out. Optimization of a saliency map with background suppression and target enhancement is realized based on target space distribution feature and image gray centroid. The continuity of the saliency map can be enhanced by the space smoothing technique for the saliency value. Experimental results show that the test with this method does not only have high precision rate and recall rate, but also has low mean absolute error in several testing sets, and the method can be applied to the saliency detection in complex natural scenes.

A double parallel junctions (DPJ) silicon solar cell structure is designed. The solar cell forms a PN junction and a NP junction in the same monocrystalline silicon solar cell, respectively, which absorbs short wave energy and long wave energy. The two junctions share a N-type region and form a parallel structure by the N-type region.

The optimal technological condition of DPJ solar cells is studied, and the results show that the spectrum response of the solar cells enhances firstly, and then decreases with the increasing of diffusion concentration for deep junction and shallow junction. The spectrum response of the solar cells increases firstly, then remains unchanged with the redistribution diffusion temperature raising and the diffusion time extending of the impurities after the diffusion of deep junction is completed. The spectrum response of the solar cells increases slightly with the increase of shallow junction diffusion time and temperature.

In recent years, the optical element with large diameter, large asphericity, fast focal ratio, high-order aspheric has been used in astronomical optics, space optics and space target detection and recognition with ground-based systems and other fields more and more widely. At present we commonly use null lens testing system or partial compensation system with eliminating return error process to test such optical elements. Among them, partial compensation system with eliminating return error process is complex and lack of testing intuitiveness, and the measurement accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Therefore, in the testing of some mirror with very high surface error precision requirement, this method is not applicable. Base on the test of concave high-order aspherical mirror with diameter of 1020 mm, coke ratio of 1/0.5, aspherical degree of 1.8 mm, high-order term of 6, an idea to design zero compensation testing light path by stages is proposed, which can satisfy the requirement of different stages of developing and testing such as rough polishing, fine polishing, interferometer testing. Final, its surface accuracy achieves λ/50.

The light distribution effect achieved from the proposed method is with smaller light gathering angle and higher light efficiency than those obtained from the traditional lens. A three-dimensional model is established by the professional software. The thickness of the lens can be reduced by cutting a sphere inside the lens model. The simulation in real application environment verifies the validity and the reliability of the scheme.

The system possesses the characters of miniature and portable.

In this paper, the thermal performance of chip scale packaged (CSP) LED was studied by numerical simulation and demonstrated by experiments. Heat dissipation characteristics of CSP LED modules which were packaged upon an aluminum substrate with a diameter of 25 mm and a thickness of 1 mm were computed by finite volume method, and the study showed that the chip junction temperature was closely related to chip power and distance between chips. To achieve technical requirement of junction temperature below 120 ℃, the distance and chip power both need considering. When the distance was 3.5 mm, only the single chip power of 0.5 W could meet the requirement. As the distance increased, the chip power could rise gradually. When the distance was 7.25 mm, chips whose power was less than 3 W could be applicable to the packaging. While the total input power was certain, thermal resistance of module decreased with the increased of packing density. When the packing density was 15.13%, module thermal resistance dropped to 2.26 K/W. Chip scale package is development direction of the next generation of LED packaging because of the lower thermal resistance.
