The metal-insulator-metal (MIM) based bending waveguide structures with a quadrant ring resonator (QRR) are presented in theory. Those structures can control the directional propagation of plasmonic waves in waveguide cross junctions. The transmission of various wavelengths in straight waveguide with a quadrant ring resonator based on finite-different time-domain (FDTD) method is studied, and optical properties of the barrier thickness between quadrant ring resonator and communication waveguides are also studied. The simulation results demonstrate that the waveguide structure can achieve higher transmission, and achieve the filtering effects at the specific wavelength positions. In addition, three and four waveguide branches structures are proposed. The structures can obtain the effects of directional transmission of surface plasma wave in the waveguide bends, such as beam splitting, total reflection. The structures have the effects of strong beam binding, nanometer-scale transmission, and can solve the problem of signal transmission and reflection. Those design structures have an important application prospects in optical integration, communication, information processing.

    Ultrashort pulse laser has important potential applications in the field of optoelectronic countermeasure because of its unique propagation features. An ultrafast optical limiter based on optical Kerr effect for ultrashort laser pulses is proposed on account of the problems in the traditional optical limiting (OL) method. The proposed OL technique utilizes the nonlinear polarization ellipse rotation (NER) effect induced in nonlinear materials to realize an excellent OL performance with ultra- low activating threshold. By combining NER and self- focusing effects, the proposed optical limiter can be used in a large dynamic range. The proposed optical limiter also has advantages of ultrafast response time and wide applicable spectral range. The basic principles of NER effects is discussed systematiclly, and OL performance of the limiter is verified using a femtosecond pulse laser.

    The concentration of atmospheric water vapor decreases sharply as the attitude increases. In order to obtain an accurate distribution of water vapor in atmosphere, a spaceborne range- resolved differential absorption lidar (DIAL) of multiple wavelengths emission is designed. Four wavelengths are identified with small diffeerences in wavenumbers, and with different water vapor absorption cross sections, where three wavelengths with larger cross sections are considered to be signal beams, and the last one with smaller cross section is called the reference beam. Divided into three groups, the concentrations of water vapor at different elevations can be segmentally detected. The echo signals of the four wavelengths are simulated. To verify the performance of water vapor profiles detection, the random systematic relative errors of three groups detections of DIAL from spaceborne platforms in daytime and nighttime are evaluated. The analysis shows that, under relative error less than 20% , water vapor profile measurement is possible under troposphere (less than altitude of 12 km) in daytime, and under the bottom of the stratosphere (less than altitude of 15 km) at night. It is theoretically and preliminary proved that the multiple wavelengths spaceborne range-resolved DIAL has the ability of accurate detection of water vapor concentration distributions in troposphere.

    On the basis of traditional solar tracker, a new solar tracker with double modes is built using image processing technology. The theme is focus on sun centroid extraction algorithm for solar tracker. To handle the problem that the solar tracker cannot track accurately when the sun is obscured by clouds or fogs, an image dehazing method based on rapid median filter is proposed. The transmission map is estimated by dark channel prior, and is smoothed using fast median filtering instead of soft- matting. The dehazed image is estimated using the transmission map. In order to avoid segmentation errors caused by manual threshold, an improved fast manimally stable extremal region (MSER) feature regions extraction method is proposed to extract sun area, and the centroid of the sun is computed. The experimental results indicate that the proposed algorithm can restore images captured in foggy and hazy weather, and accurately extract the centroid of the sun. The proposed method has low computational complexity and it meets the real-time processing acquirement of solar tracker.

    Ultrasound-modulated optical tomography (UOT) has high spatial resolution of ultrasonic location and high sensitivity of optical detection. Both of scattering objects and absorption objects can be imaged by UOT. The signal to noise ratio and image contrast of UOT is improved by laying two apertures between the sample and the detector (photomultiplier tube, PMT) and choosing appropriate position of PMT. One dimensional imaging of scattering objects and absorption objects buried in turbid media is provided. The experimental results indicate that the relationship between modulation depth of ultrasound-modulated signal and the scattering and absorption properties of media is dependent on detection position of PMT. The scattering objects and absorption objects are imaged simultaneously and distinguishable when PMT is at an appropriate position.

    A fast and adaptive enhancement algorithm for low illumination images based on wavelet transform is presented. RGB color image is converted to HSV color space, and the luminance component V is decomposed to low frequency sub-band and high frequency sub-bands by discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The illumination component is estimated and removed using bilateral filtering from the low frequency subband quickly, and the high frequency sub- bands corresponding to the image edges and texture are enhanced and de- noised using transform of fuzzy set. Based on the proposed histogram objective function, the contrast of the resulted V image is enhanced adaptively and quickly by employing the optimization method combining the Powell with the simulated annealing algorithm. The visibility improved color image is generated by combining the enhanced V image with H and S chrominance components. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the visibility of low illumination images quickly and effectively.

    In order to repair thin-walled castings of ZM5 magnesium alloy, the parameters for fiber laser welding are determined by dilution rate and weld-surface angle. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are adopted for microstructure observation and analysis of chemical composition while tensile tests are carried out for evaluation of mechanical properties. It′s demonstrated that the relationship between dilution rate and weld-surface angle is linear dependence. The fiber laser welding layer consists of tiny equiaxed dendrites with the average grain diameter of 15 to 20 μm which is 1/4 of ZM5 base. The base structure of welding layer is α - Mg phase, and the eutectic Mg-Al phase, β - Mg17Al12 mainly, is even dispersed along the grain boundary of welding layer. Shown in tensile tests, quasi-cleavage fracture occurred in fiber laser welding layer, which achieves higher strength and toughness than those of the brittle-fractured base metal. Thus thin-walled castings of ZM5 magnesium alloy are so well repaired by fiber laser that production quality and efficiency are greatly improved.

    In the process of high power fiber laser welding of SUS 304 stainless steel plate, the dynamic pool endures imbalanced force and is very unstable. The pool is prone to droping down. The pool is droping down, which makes a flow accumulation at the bottom of the specimen, and a root humping forms. By using highspeed camera and“sandwich”new welding method, the pictures of the flow of the molten metal from different angles are taken and the longitudinal keyhole and the dynamic pool are observed. The results show that the molten metal flow is not continuous in the keyhole, the moving downward shelf on the front of the keyhole wall and the pressure of metallic vapor inside the keyhole lead to a plurality of droplet in the bottom of the pool. The surface tension and the flow of melt pool cause the backward flow of the molten metal. With the accumulation of molten metal, the root humping is formed. The root humping influences the flow state of melt pool, which results in the undercut on the weld surface.

    Continuous laser welding is conducted to investigate the effect of heat input (HI) on the microstructure and mechanical properties of 26Cr-3.5Mo ferritic stainless steel. The optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) are used to observe the microstructure and the precipitates in the weld. And the mechanical properties are tested by the microhardness tester and the tensile tester. The result show that there are fine equiaxed grains at the center of the weld, and with the increase of the laser welding heat input, the width of equiaxed crystal zone increases, but the proportion of equiaxed crystal zone to the weld cross section increases firstly and then drops. The heat affected zone (HAZ) is narrow. Its width is 0.1~0.2 mm, and no obvious grain coarsening appeares in the HAZ. The HAZ is soften and its microhardness is lower than that of the weld and the base metal. The tensile strength of the welded joint is close to that of the base metal. But the percentage elongation of the welded joint after fracture is less than that of the base metal and decreases with the increase of the laser welding heat input.

    The 1064 nm high reflectors are prepared by e-beam deposition, and via laser conditioning with raster scanning on certain areas, plasma scalds are formed on the surface. The beam quality testing system is built. The spatial intensity distribution of laser beam reflected by the samples with or without plasma scalds is recorded. The power spectral density of laser beam is calculated with periodogram method. The results indicate that the peak of the power spectral density corresponds to the peak intensity of the transmitted beam which is modulated by plasma scalds. Therefore the modulation of transmitted laser beam can be analyzed and characterized using the power spectral density calculated from the distribution of the laser beam.

    It is reported that femtosecond-duration laser pulse can be deployed to reduce drag for blunt-body vehicle in high- Mach flow field of air by generating laser plasma and shockwave. The interaction of plasma shockwave induced by femtosecond-duration laser pulse and bow shock over the head of the blunt-body vehicle is investigated numerically in the flow field of 30 km apart from the surface of the earth at Mach number of 5 and the mechanism of deploying the femtosecond laser plasma to reduce the drag of the vehicle is analyzed. The Navier- Stokes equations are exploited to compute the drag reduction for different femtosecond laser energies. The present numerical experiment proves that the femtosecond laser pulse has a better drag reduction effect than the nanosecond laser pulse under the same condition. When the femtosecond laser energy is 0.06 mJ, the femtosecond laser plasma can reduce the drag by 98%. And the higher the energy of femtosecond laser pulse, the higher the drag reduction ratio and the longer the time of low drag. Deploying three femtosecond laser energy point to reduce the drag of hypersonic vehicle is much more obviously. This energy-deposition mode can improve the optimum drag reduction ratio and save the laser energy.

    Considering characteristics of beam output from output single emitter diode laser, beam width is described using 1/e2 maximum, power in bucket and second moment. The beam parameter product (BPP) in various definitions based on the hyperbolic fitting method with approximation of Gaussian beam can be obtained. The calculated BPPs of the beam from a single emitter diode laser are compared with the BPP of fiber with core diameter of 105 μm and numerical aperture of 0.2. The side mode increases gradually with increasing injection current, leading to deterioration of the beam quality, and reduces the coupling efficiency. As the injection current increases from 1 A to 13 A, the coupling efficiency decreases from 96.5% to 88.8% . Therefore, the beam width defined by the second moment is an accurate method for the description and evaluation the beam quality of single emitter diode laser based on BPP.

    To reduce the total time for aligning all laser beams of an inertial confinement fusion (ICF) laser facility at the target area, an alignment route optimization method is for the alignment method that based on the invariant sub-area configuration of the alignment sensor. The goal is to minimize the sum of the angle displacements of those reflecting mirrors which make contributions to the total alignment time. It can be implemented by optimizing the angle between the center of the preparative sub-area and that of the target sub-area. The optimization process is demonstrated through an example that one configuration of the final optics assemblies is considered and the expected aligning position is at the center of the target chamber. The estimations of the total alignment time show that the proposed method results in a much shorter time compared with the common serial alignment method. If the distance between the center of the preparative sub-area and the center of the target sub-area is 1 mm, the total time is reduced to 0.518 times of that adopting a common serial alignment method.

    In order to improve the adaptability of ring laser gyro (RLG) in the outer space environment, a method about RLG output system based on Fresnel lens is proposed. After being converged by the Fresnel lens, the RLG′ s clockwise and anticlockwise beams forge a new array of fringe patterns in front of the focal plane, where the number of patterns does not change, but the size is significantly reduced. Compared with the ordinary convex lens, the Fresnel lens based RLG readout system may bring up advantages in the spherical aberration calibration and installing convenience. It is validated that compared with the traditional RLG readout system, this system can decrease the size of the beam spot down to less than 1% , enabling a smaller photodiode to be selected, and the radiation damage is significantly reduced, therefore the RLG′s adaptability of RLG in the outer space environment is improved.

Based on the model above, the influence of medium properties and target reflective characteristic on the angular characteristic of Gaussian pulse laser echo signal in isotropic scattering medium is analyzed. Research shows that the incident zenith angles of target echo signal have reached its steady state in optically thick medium, with the peak angle interval of 30°~40° and the energy concentration range of 30°~50° , but the temporal broadening characteristic is irrelevant to angle intervals; the spectral attenuation coefficient affects the energy attenuation and pulse width of echo signal strongly, but the scattering albedo embodies in the energy attenuation of post-echo signal mainly; high intensity pre-echo signal caused by specular reflection weakens, and the absolute difference of target echo signal is extremely small between specular reflection and diffuse reflection, with weaker relevance.

    The influence of plume on transmittivity during laser irradiating c-epoxy composites in gas flow is researched. A calculated model for transmittivity of plume is given by using Lambert- Beer theory. In the model, the length of optical paths is calculated by jet theory, density and velocity of plume can be got from the simulation of laser ablating carbon/epoxy composites. The plume transmittivity during laser irradiating is computed by the model. The result is compared with the experiment, and it is confirmed that the model is reasonable. The influence of extrinsic parameters on laser transmittivity is calculated. The results indicate that when laser irradiation begins, thermal decomposition zone is on the material surface and it is easy for plume escaping from the zone, and transmittivity decreases to minimum value quickly. Then thermal decomposition zone moves to the interior and it is difficult for plume escaping from the zone because of low permeability, and transmittivity increases slowly. Higher laser intense decreases the minimum transmittivity and average transmittivity of the whole irradiation time; higher flow velocity can increase the transmittivity of the whole irradiation time; when total laser power is constant, bigger spot size can increase the minimum transmittivity and decrease average transmittivity of the whole irradiation time.

The impact of thermal stress on damage characteristic is analyzed basing on scanning electron microscope (SEM) damage morphology and the value of temperature rising and thermal stress calculated by ANSYS. The research results show that temperature of the crystal irradiated by high repetition frequency CO2 laser gradually rise with increasing of irradiation time, and thermal equilibrium should have been attained on the Hg0.826Cd0.174Te crystal when irradiation time is 10 s. When repetition frequency is more than 1 kHz, the temperature mainly depends on laser average power density,and doesn′ t depend on repetition frequency. The maximum thermal stress is 5 × 107 Pa when Hg0.826Cd0.174Te crystal surface melts,the value of which is less than the ultimate stress. The conclusions have a reference value for laser protection on high repetition frequency CO2 laser.

    Compared with the traditional glass beads embedded type membrane structure, cube corner type membrane structure has higher retroreflection coefficient. It is the foundation of designing and producing diamond grade retroreflective film. However, the entrance angle of cube corner type retroreflective sheeting is limited, and the retroreflection coefficient is anisotropic, these problems will affect the using effect of retroreflective sheeting. The new solution for the above problems has been studied. Based on ray tracing technology and the basic theory of optics, a simulation model is built to analyze the retroreflection performance of cube corner retroreflective film. For laminae combination technology, width/thickness ratio and apex decentration are studied. It is found that the retroreflection performance varies dramatically with these two parameters. Through setting appropriate width/thickness ratio as well as apex decentration distance of cube corner elements, the effective incident angle range is increased and the anisotropy of retroreflection coefficient is weakened. These conclusions have certain guiding significance for the optimization design of the cube corner retroreflective sheeting.

    High quality spherical wave, which is generated by the pinhole diffraction, is the core for the calibration of the Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor (SHWS) with high-accuracy. The diffraction of the tiny pinhole under the illumination of the excimer laser with wavelength of 193 nm is calculated based on finite-difference timedomain (FDTD) method. The finite thickness and real conductivity of the pinhole are considered. The effect of numerical aperture (NA) of the illumination objective lens on the quality of the wavefront diffracted by the tiny pinhole is analyzed. The diameter of the tiny pinhole and the NA of the illumination objective lens needed to calibrate the SHWS with high accuracy are determined. The calculation and analysis show that, to obtain the wavefront whose quality meets the requirement of wavefront error measurement by using SHWS method with nanometer accuracy, the diameter of the tiny pinhole should be 200 nm and the NA of the illumination objective lens should be in the range of 0.6 to 0.75. In this situation, the RMS deviation of the wavefront diffracted by the tiny pinhole is 3.50×10-3 λ ; the intensity uniformity is 0.10; the transmission of the tiny pinhole is about 0.15.

    Based on the digital speckle correlation calculation and motion shaft surface matching method, a new method which uses dual cameras to measure dynamic torque of rotating shaft directly is put forward. Two industrial cameras are used to gather shaft surface image sequence which is used as reference images without torque, at both sides. Then surface strain images of rotating shaft under the action of torque are synchronously collected. Motion shaft surface matching method is used to search the corresponding reference images of strain images, and the full-pixel correlation calculation and the sub-pixel displacement calculation of gradient method are performed on two channels of strain and the reference images, respectively. The torsional angular displacement of both ends and the shaft torque are calculated. In order to verify measuring precision of the method, software Ansys is used to calculate torsional displacement of shaft. Compared with the proposed method, the error is 1.39% , which shows high consistency. Bench experiments under different rotational speeds and torque are done, and compared with standard sensor measurements, the error is 1.4% ~5.3%. Experimental results show that the torque measurement system based on digital industrial camera has high precision. The system structure is simple, and it overcomes the shortcomings of traditional methods, such as complexed installation, susceptible to interference. It is suitable for dynamic torque measurement of shaft.

    In order to improve the stability and precision of binocular calibration based on two- dimensional plane target, the influence of pose selection on calibration is emphatically analyzed from homography matrix perspective. Then three properties are proposed to regulate calibration poses, which point out respectively, to avoid all poses of translating and rotating target only in its own plane and the parallel pose between target and image plane. On the basis of three properties, a strategy to select poses of binocular calibration called five poses set calibration is presented. Experimental results demonstrate that three properties have high application value, which is beneficial to ensure accuracy of calibration, and only if no less than three images are acquired in every pose set, five poses set calibration can reach high calibration reliability and accuracy.

    The most useful traditional technique to extract the phase information from a two-dimensional (2D) interferogram is fast fourier transformation (FFT), which is proven to be sensitive to noise. The virtual grating phase shifting Moire fringe method has not only a good anti-noise characteristic but also a good extraction accuracy. Based on the research of processing the one-dimensional interferogram, a new two-dimensional virtual grating phase shifting Moire fringe method which can process the two-dimensional interferogram is proposed, which can extract the phase information by generating a 2D virtual grating containing special phase-shift amount. The simulation result between the FFT method and the new method shows that in the case of the interferogram without noise, the relative reconstruction error using the FFT method and the proposed method are 5.52% and 3.46% , respectively. However, the new method has an obvious advantages over the FFT method gradually while the noise increases. Processing the 2D interferogram obtained by the 2D lateral shearing interferometer null test system developed by our research group, the root mean square experiment results of the FFT method and the proposed method are 0.0053 λ and 0.0037 λ (λ = 632.8 nm) , respectively.

A constraint satisfaction model is established based on it. The link access flexibility and jobs′ conflict set are set according to the jobs type, valid time and priority setting. To maximize the number of priority weighted jobs, an access control algorithm of data relay satellite with microwave and laser hybrid links is introduced. The double-layer optimization hybrid links algorithm is based on the jobs type and adaptive small-window ant colony algorithm. The sequence of jobs access and the selection of relay satellite link are set as optimization objects. Simulation results show that the model can realize multi-type jobs access control efficiently.

    There is great temperature gradient in the absorber of the high energy laser energy meter for a long time, which results in great difficulties in measuring the real temperature of the absorber. In this situation, the accuracy of the energy meter is affected by the heat specific of the material, the responsibility of the temperature sensors and the heat loss. The temperature field of the absorber is simulated, and then a method that multiple discrete thermocouple sensors are used to measure the temperature rise of absorbers is introduced. The average temperature of each small segment in the absorber can be exactly obtained by controlling the distance of the adjacent thermocouples and the depth of the thermocouples, so as to calibrate the heat specific and the responsibility of the temperature sensors. The measurements are taken to decrease the rate of the heat loss and the heat loss can also be calibrated after obtaining the real temperature distribution and the time of the thermal equilibrium. The research on the absorption coefficient is facilitated with the ray tracing method. The absorption coefficients with the parameters of the real beams and the real absorption cavity are calculated and the measurement results are calibrated. According to the uncertainty of the each process, the estimate of the measurement uncertainty of the laser energy meter is 5.8% (k=2), and the rationality of the measurement uncertainty is verified with the comparison method.

A scheme for all optical frequency multiplication is proposed based on the TOAD. The switch characteristics of the TOAD are discussed with simulations for bimodal output on the leading and tailing edges of the clock pulse as control, in addition with the dependence on some factors of the TOAD, such as energy of control pulse, window of TOAD, carrier recovery time. Based on the bimodal output effects, the all- optical frequency doubling, tripling and quadrupling are simulated, and the frequency doubling of the clock is implemented with simulations and experiments for 200 Mb/s and 1 Gb/s clocks.

    In order to explore the cascade effect of deuterium fluoride (DF) laser and the influence of working gas parameters on laser spectrum, the spectral characteristics of non-chain DF laser pumped by self-initiated volume discharge are studied. The pulse shapes of cascade lasing on P3(7) →P2(8) →P1(9) are measured by DF laser spectrum analyzer and HgCdTe photo detector, and it′ s found that the lasing line of P1(9) is initiated firstly, and P2(8) and P3(7) lines appeare 80~100 ns later. The number of laser lines and the relative energies are measured under different ratios and pressures of gas mixture, and 22 laser lines in the rang of 3.5~4.2 μm are attained. When the pressure ratio and total pressure of gas mixture (SF6 and D2) are 6:1 and 8.1 kPa, 25.9% of emitted energy is contained in the cascade lasing on P3(8) →P2(9) →P1(10). The results show that there exits cascade effect in multiline DF laser, and the extraction efficiency of laser gain with cascade output can be greatly increased by optimizing the parameters of gas mixture.

The R(6) absorption line of CO near 2334 nm, without interference of H2O absorption, is screened for a tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) system, which is used to monitor the atmospheric CO by long optical path with direct absorption techniques. With the help of off-axis parabolic mirror, an optical path of 700 m is achieved by sending and receiving light on the same path. A miniaturized measuring control system of 120 mm × 100 mm × 25 mm with power consumption lower than 5 W integrating laser driver, spectral data acquisition and processing on a single board is developed. The CO and CH4 spectra are separated on host computer by means of nonlinear fitting. By analyzing the standard deviation of spectral data, it can be derived that the system has detection precision of 10-6 at 1 s respond time. A continuous atmospheric CO monitoring experiment is carried out and the results coincide well with the CO analyzer results, which proves feasibility of the instrumentation of this system.
