In order to analysis the Gaussian beam transmission characteristics, according to the numerical simulation method of random phase screen, the Rytov weak turbulence theory is used to analyze each statistical quantity. The numerical model of Gaussian beam propagation through an arbitrary thickness phase screen is established, based on the Kolmogorov spectrum, and the analytic expression which is easy to be treated is also given. Meantime, the scintillation index and Rytov variance are analyzed. The results indicate that the application range of arbitrary thickness phase screen model is wider than the thin phase screen, and the statistic describing is more accurate.

    Aiming at the problem of low contrast, blurred edges and textures, and speckle noise of reconstructed image in digital holography, an adaptive enhancement method for reconstructed image of digital holography in contourlet domain based on uniform searching particle swarm optimization is proposed. Median filtering algorithm is used to suppress speckle noise of the reconstructed image. After the contourlet decomposition, edge enhancement is performed for the band-pass directional subbands by a nonlinear gain function. While the coefficients of low-pass subbands are adjusted by the gain function based on a gray-scale transform and the local mean. The gray-scale transform aims to expand the dark areas of digital holographic image. The undetermined parameters are found by uniform searching particle swarm optimization. The fitness function takes into account the contrast, definition and peak signal-to-noise ratio of image. A large number of experimental results show that, compared with three existing enhancement methods, the proposed method can more effectively improve the contrast and definition of reconstructed image in digital holography, highlight edges and textures, and suppress speckle noise. As a result, the measurement accuracy of digital holography can be improved.

    In the laser micro-Doppler signature analysis of vibrating targets, the joint time-frequency methods can provide useful information for target detection, classification and recognition. The analysis of the general nonlinear and non-stationary signal with traditional time-frequency analysis method can effectively extract signal characteristics. But there are great limitations in the strong background noise and weak modulation channel conditions. Hilbert-Huang transform (HHT) is employed as a new approach in micro-Doppler analysis. Simulation results in Matlab software show that it can achieve better performance than smoothed pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution (SPWVD) in different channel conditions.

    Precision manufacturing of the shaped film cooling holes on turbine blades is a challenge, especially when the metal blades are coated with thermal barrier coatings (TBC). A 532 nm nanosecond pulsed ytterbium fiber laser is used to study the physical interactions between pulsed laser beam and metal or ceramic materials. Using a semi-empirical model and finite element model, we study the interaction of laser and material, and predict laser ablation surface geometry. Results are compared between modelling and experimental data. Optimized machining parameters are recommended with the aim of maximum process efficiency and minimum thermal effects such as recast layer, edge protrusions and microcracks. By varying depth of focus, scanning mode, beam diameter and power density, the interaction between laser and stainless steel, copper, TBC and IN718 are investigated.

    Bead-on-plate welding is carried out with an IPG YLS-6000 fiber laser and a slab DC035 CO2 laser under the similar conditions. The melting efficiencies are calculated based on the measured weld cross-sectional areas with an Olympus microscope. The results show that the melting efficiency increases firstly and then decreases with welding speed increasing in both cases. However, the welding speed corresponding to the maximum melting efficiency is far greater in fiber laser welding than that in CO2 laser welding. Further analysis demonstrates that the difference of the melting efficiency is relevant to the inherent difference of the energy coupling. Therefore, from the viewpoint of welding efficiency, fiber laser is more suitable for high-speed welding, while CO2 laser is more suitable for low-speed welding.

    Ni-based composite coatings with different graphite/Ni contents are prepared by laser cladding on the 40CrNi2Si2MoV steel. The microstructure and properties of the composite coatings are investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, Vickers hardness tester, and friction wear testing machine. The results show that the composite coatings mainly consist of γ-Ni, Ni3B, M23C6, and M7C3 phases. But with the graphite/Ni addition increasing, the contents of the eutectic increase. The graphite is observed as the graphite/Ni addition is beyond 10.0% (volume fraction). The changes in the microstructure improve the hardness and the wear resistance of the coatings while the anti-friction property presents a trend of first decreasing and then increasing, and the lowest anti-friction property is obtained as the graphite/Ni addition is 6.0%.

    It is contributed to reveal the combustion consistent mechanism of ammonium perchorate and hydroxyl-terminated pdybutadiene (AP/HTPB) composite propellant by studying its characteristics of ignition and combustion based on experiment. The firing efficiency of base bleed projectile will increase by improving combustion characteristic. Laser has the advantages of adjustable energy and high output stability, so it is the best energy source for energetic materials ignition and combustion test. The ignition delay time of AP/HTPB composite propellant samples is researched by using high power solid-state laser and high speed video system. The ignition delay time is dramaticlly shortened with laser intensity increasing and then tends to be gentle. The combustion speed is calculated as 3.41 mm/s based on combustion ordinal images and image processing technology. Numerical simulations of ignition and combustion of the test samples are conducted by building the one-dimensional laser ignition model for energetic materials. The calculated results of ignition delay time are in accordance with the test greatly, and the temperature variation with time and intensity is obtained.

    The standard vibration fatigue specimens, made of TC11 titanium alloy, are treated by laser shock peening (LSP). The high-cycle vibration tests are conducted to verify the reinforcement effect, and the fracture analysis is utilized to analyze the fatigue mechanism of the treated specimens. The strengthening mechanism of fatigue performance is explained by the experiments of microstructure, residual stress and microhardness. The tests results show that the fatigue limit is improved from 483 MPa to 593 MPa by LSP. Fatigue crack of specimens treated by LSP initiates in the subsurface of 0.2-mm depth with a greater flatness area and lots of second-cracks and tight fatigue bands. A layer with nanocrystals is generated on the surface by LSP, and the size of nanocrystal is about 40~80 nm. LSP introduce a great compressive residual stress in the material with a 1-mm thick plastic deformation layer. The residual stress in the surface can reach -591.5 MPa, while the surface hardness is increased by 19%. The combined actions of high structure refinement and high compressive residual stress are the main causes of the fatigue performance improvement, which block fatigue crack initiating and reduce crack growth rate.

    A method for automatically generation of sheet metal three-dimensional (3D) laser cutting path based on the incision filled model is proposed considering the sheet metal forming process. Automatic selection of incision features is realized through automatic recognition of incision features by using the concave edges between the incision faces, and the laser beam radius compensation is done through the offset of the edge loop of incision by using vertex offset method. On the basis of the incision features filling and the remodeling of the model, the laser head posture is determined using two normal vectors of the two triangles that shares the edge on which the laser beam points are located, which ensures the laser head perpendicular to the surface of workpiece in the whole process of laser cutting. The case studies show that the above algorithm is feasible and the system is stable and reliable.

    A study on intersected points of Zircaloy-4 alloy is carried out by using pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The effects of laser parameters on the intersected points are analyzed from the appearances, depth-to-width ratio and mechanical properties. The results show that the protrusion of the weld beads can not meet the demand because the convex platform fails to be molten amply with the improper parameters. With the peak power increasing and the pulse width decreasing, or the number of shots increasing when the single pulse energy remains unchanged, the protrusion of the weld beads decreases, and the depth-to-width ratio of the weld beads increases. The maximum tensile loads of the intersected points are proportional to the depth-to-width ratio.

    A three-dimensional finite element model is established to perform the thermo-elastic-plastic analysis on stress and deformation of 2A12 aluminum alloy irradiated by lasers with different parameters in ANSYS software. The results show that with an assistant continuous wave (CW) laser to preheat the material, the effect of long pulsed laser efficiently increases with the increase of preheat time, materials yield time shortens, plastic deformation and yield zone augrrent. Irradiated by long pulsed laser with duty cycle of 10%, the temperature rise and deformation accretion of 2A12 aluminum alloy between pulses are not significant because of its high thermal conductivity. Increasing the preheat time is a more effective method than the power density increasing of CW laser to increase the plastic damage of material irradiated by the same long pulsed laser when their power densities are at 104 W/cm2 level.

    Based on the second order differential equation which describes the radial and azimuthal electric field components, the characteristics of eigen mode field of simple cylindrical polarized beam are analyzed. According to the formulae of coordinate transformation, the Rayleigh-Sommerfeld scalar diffraction integral formula is converted into a calculation formula for the radial and azimuthal electric field components of far field diffraction of the simple cylindrical polarized beam. As the relationship between the spatial frequency spectrum and electric field distribution of the diffraction source is employed, a calculation formula for the spot radius and spatial frequency radius by the differential operator method is suggested. It can be used to calculate the beam propagation factor of the cylindrical polarized beam. Then, the practical applicability of the above formulae is clearly shown through the beam parameters calculation of the LG10 mode cylindrical polarized Laguerre-Gaussian beam.

    Influence of photon absorption of ground state molecules in resonator cavity on HF-DF dual-band chemical laser output performance is investigated through experiments. Variations of spectra and output powers of HF laser and DF laser operated with different positions of H2/D2 injection are measured and analyzed. The results show that the spectral lines of 1P (the P-branch transition between vibrational states of ν=1→ν=0) are absorbed by the ground state molecules through the mechanism of single-photon resonance absorption. The spectral lines of 2P (the P-branch transition of ν=2→ν=1) are absorbed by the ground state molecules through the mechanism of double-photon resonance absorption one by one. Cascading transition effect of lasing band between vibration-rotational states exists in some extent. Output power of HF laser decreases by approximately 50%, and output power of DF laser decreases by approximately 90% when the amount of ground state molecules and the amount of excited state molecules are equivalent. Traditional fuel compositions are not applicable for developing combustor-driven HF-DF dual-band chemical lasers.

    Singlet delta oxygen O2(a1Δ) molecules are generated by O2/He gaseous mixture dielectric barrier radio-frequency discharge. NO gas is added into main gas flow to improve the relative yield of O2(a1Δ). Influence of NO on the relative yield of O2(a1Δ) is examined by observing the O2(a1Δ) emission intensity as a function of NO flow rate. The experimental results show that the O2(a1Δ) relative yield reaches a saturation with the increase of NO flow rate and then slowly decreases. The optimal NO flow rate is about 3% of O2 flow rate under the conditions of the experiments. A new reaction mechanism including three-body oxygen atom recombination is proposed. According to the new mechanisms, a fitting function is given which agrees well with the experimental results. The rate constant of the new mechanism is obtained to be 1.8×10-30 cm6/s.

The influence of different potassiums on crystal texture, microstructure, output and fluorescence of the complex KNbO3 is studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectrum, scanning electron microscope (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and fluorescence spectra (PL). Results show that the productivity is improved greatly by the adding of potassium salt. The kind of potassium salt is a critical factor for the structure and morphological profile of the KNbO3. When the added potassium salt is KCl or KBr, the well crystallized KNbO3 rods whose structures are rhombohedral and ortho rhombic form respectively are formed with the width of 0.5~1 μm and the length of 1~10 μm. Using K2CO3 or K2SO4 as the added potassium salt, the formed KNbO3 crystals whose structure are rhombohedral and ortho rhombic form respectively are irregular granular structures instead of rod-like structures. FTIR results indicate that the crystal show Nb=O and Nb-O-Nb vibration peaks at 1383, 1087, 1050, 879, 614 cm-1.

    The measurement of laser displacement sensor is based on the scattering effect of the surface, and the roughness characteristics of the target surface directly affects the light intensity of the scattering measurement spot. For the purpose of studying the impact of the roughened surface on the light intensity of the imaging spot, the scattering geometry model of rough surface is built. By using Kirchhoff scalar scattering analytical theory and combining shadowing function statistical model, the functional relationship between the characteristic of the rough surface and the scattering luminous flux is calculated. According to the detection principle of the position sensitive detector (PSD) in the sensor, the light intensity value of imaging spot on the photosensitive surface will directly affect the measurement accuracy of the sensor. Through the analysis of the measurement data of different standard roughness surfaces which are got from the displacement sensor based on PSD, the experimental results show that different surface roughnesses will produce different measurement errors, and when the Rq value of surface roughness is larger, the light intensity of scattering spot becomes larger. But accompanied by significant enhancement of the shadowing coefficient, the light intensity is gradually weakened, and the magnitude of measuring error has the same trend of changes with that of light intensity. For the roughened surface with Rq=0.8 μm the measurement error is the minimum.

    Photoelectric encoder has static and dynamic characteristics. The analysis of photoelectric encoder′s errors is limited in static characteristics. In order to make the photoelectric encoder dynamic characteristics perfection, the dynamic errors of small absolute photoelectric encoder from bearing rocking, range-frequency respond, data handling delay and so on are researched. By analysising the relationship between angle speed and dynamic errors, the regular pattern of dynamic errors and angle speed are obtained. Analysis results show that the dynamic error of an encoder which h code carves are composed by 1, h and constant products. By the changing of speed, the range of these component products also change. Thereby the characteristics of the encoder are affected. The research results can be applied to the analysising and controlling of photoelectric encoder′s dynamic characteristics, as well as providing theory for the improvement of photoelectric encoder′s dynamic characteristics.

    Aiming at the problem of the high grating inscription scattering of previous microstructured optical fiber, inscription characteristics of a large side-hole microstructured optical fiber grating are analyzed by finite-difference time-domain method and the amalysis result is confirmed by finite element method. The large hole can be filled with fluid of suitable refractive index, the fluid-filled hole acting as a converging lens and the inscribing Gauss beam can focus into the core region, which improves grating inscription efficiency. The simulation results show that the inscription efficiency of the modified structure is 290% of conventional array hole photonic crystal fiber grating and 210% of single model fiber grating, respectively. An ultrahigh inscription efficiency and a relative less grating inscription scattering can be achieved, while the influence of inscription angle deviation is also discussed.

    A method about multiple-sidebands beat is studied to produce a series of high-power millimeter-wave, and interleaver module is proposed. For the module without additional optical filter and complex circuit driver, periodical sideband signals generated by parameters setting are tunable. Theoretical analysis demonstrates that multiple-sidebands beat with each other, the millimeter wave signal is formed by superposition ultimately, the signal energy is more concentrated, and the frequency is tunable. Simulation results indicate that multiple-sidebands modulation method can generate 12-tupling, 16-tupling, even 18-tupling millimeter waves, and output signals reflect high power characteristics obviously. In comparison with typical bi-sideband modulation method, the power of millimeter wave signal is improved by more than 20 dB. According to the results of the system simulation, the proposed radio-over-fiber (RoF) system has better performance on transmission and anti-dispersion, and it is more suitable for long-distance transmission.

    In order to realize full aperture ultra-smooth polishing on the high order rotary symmetrical aspheric surface, the polishing head controlling algorithm is studied. The basic theory of ultra-smooth polishing technology and the computer numerical control machine mechanism are introduced. And the optical surface generating method is also descripted. Then, a kind of equal error recurrence algorithm is proposed which is used in solving dwell points and controlling polishing head path. And the path error is also analyzed. The polishing removal rate distribution of different positions is calculated and the dwell time mathematical solving model is established. Finally, an experiment for polishing an aspheric lens with a aperture of 150 mm and a asphericity of 116 μm is carried out on the self-research machine. The root-mean-square of surface roughness is reduced from 1.523±0.045 nm to 0.399±0.0238 nm. The result indicates that the algorithm described in this paper could improve the precision of asphere polishing path and the uniformity of the roughness distribution.

    Laser radar development tends to focus on array imaging laser radars. Due to the restriction of array detectors and laser power, it is hard to realize imaging with high resolution in distant range. Risley prism scanning imaging laser radars based on small scale array, possessing both the advantages of high resolution in array imaging laser radar and imaging in distance in scanning laser radar, have drawn much attention in laser radar researches. A small scale array Risley prism scanning imaging laser radar system is constructed with a high frequency solid laser transmitter and a double optical prism scanner for theoretical experiments. The system adopts a 5×5 array detector as the sensitive unit and designs a 25-channel parallel amplifier. The bandwidth of 200 MHz and 40 dB gain are achieved with the plastic circuit output signal jitter being less than 2 ns. The frequency of the 25-channel array timer achieves 200 MHz. These realize the small plane array block scanning laser radar principle experiment system. With the system, an indoor imaging experiment is presented. The results show that the ranging accuracy of the system reaches 0.8 m with a 3°×3° viewing angle and a 128 pixel×128 pixel image resolution. It analyzes the factors to influence the accuracy of block scanning imaging laser radar system according to the experimental results. The results show that the beams pointing accuracy, the bandwidth and timing accuracy of the scanner probes and processing circuit have the primary impacts on restriction of distant imaging quality.

    High power pulse laser and large aperture telescope are usually used for getting signals from higher altitude in lidar observation, which brings the detector saturation caused by strong backscattering from low altitude. The mechanical chopper improves the lidar performance by cutting off the low altitude noise in optical method and passing the backscattering signals from higher. The working principle of the mechanical chopper is analyzed, and the chopper unit is built up. The testing data are agreed well with the theoretical results. The application of the chopper in lidar detection system can solve the problems of detector saturation and blinding caused by low altitude backscattering, so as to increase the detection range and the measuring accuracy.

    Coherent ladar range image is closely relative to physical structure property of object′s surface, and reflects essential characteristics of objects, thus it has received considerable attention in object recognition fields. Generally, it is difficult to collect a mass of range images for ladar in real application. However, under small-sample case, when the number of features increases, the recognition rate will decrease, which is called Hughes effect. In this paper, the two methods of feature selection, i. e., relief and support vector machine recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) are applied to solve the problem. The experimental results demonstrate that the methods of Relief and SVM-RFE are able to relieve Hughes effect that is caused by three combined moments [affine moments (AMs) and Zernike moments (ZMs), ZMs and Hu moments (HMs), and AMs, HMs and ZMs]. Moreover, the recognition rate of SVM-RFE is slightly better than that of Relief.

    Principal component analysis (PCA), partial least squares (PLS) regression and surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) are used in quantitative analysis of the concentration of fenitrothion solution. 600~1800 cm-1 SERS spectra of the fenitrothion solution are measured. The spectra around characteristic peaks are preprocessed by the absolute value of the first derivative, the multiplicative scatter correction (MSC) and the standard normal transformation respectively. Models are built by PCA and PLS regression. Grouping alternating method is used to validate the performance of models. It is found that the model built with the MSC preprocessed spectra performs better. The accuracy of analysis meets the detecting requirement of fenitrothion.

    Realization of passive ranging based on infrared radiation and atmospheric attenuation characteristics is closely related to gas band selection. Oxygen A absorption band has a unique spectral structure. For rocket plume and high temperature radiation, the band is the best inversion channel of distance. Through the in-depth research of line-by-line radiative transfer model (LBLTRM), Oxygen A band standard spectrum calculation software is designed. Making use of the out-of-band data, band average transmittance in different distances is obtained by polynomial fitting, and then the corresponding distance is received. Putting the ABB lamp as the light source, collecting the corresponding spectrum in different distances and making the fitting calculation, through the comparison of fitting results of the measured datas and theoretical calculation results, the error is within 0.5% and is in the permissible range.

    Effect of pre-ablation laser parameters on the spectral enhancement of 532 nm/1064 nm orthogonal pre-ablation dual-pulse laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (DP-LIBS) is analyzed by the spectral intensity variation of Cr I 520.8 nm and Fe I 522.7 nm for the alloy steel, and the experimental conditions are optimized. The experimental results show that DP-LIBS has a maximum spectral enhancement at the conditions of the pre-ablation pulse energy of 70 mJ, the main ablative pulse energy of 100 mJ, the distance of focus point of the pre-ablation pulse to the sample surface of 1 mm and to the main ablation pulse light path of 1 mm respectively. The spectral enhancement of Cr I 520.8 nm is 12.5 at interpulse delay time 30 μs, then decreases rapidly. Finally, the spectra enhancement mechanism of orthogonal pre-ablation DP-LIBS is analyzed.
