Two parallel line waveguides were formed by removing two lines silicon pillars which alternate with three line pillars in photonic crystal. Its coupling properties were investigated by use of Finite-difference Time-domain (FDTD) method.

A new liquid refractive index detection method was brought forward based on this research. Compared with normal liquid refractive index analyzer reported, the most important aspects are the fast detection and miniaturization of devices.
We report a linear extra-cavity, tunable mid-infrared, Continuous Wave (CW) singly resonant Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) based on periodically poled MgO-doped LiNbO3 (PPMgLN).

A small-sized laser proximity fuse based on CPLD was designed for some small-caliber ammunitions, the common anti-interference methods used for medium-caliber and large-caliber ammunitions will not be suitable, due to the limited space and power. Analyzed the interferences of a small-sized laser proximity fuse, the major ones are: (a) the electromagnetic radiation of laser transmitter module; (b) the unstable power supple disturbs all circuit modules; (c) false targets like tree branch. Kinds of technical measures are adopted in circuit design, PCB design, optical system design, and programming to reduce their influences to ensure the necessary stability, reliability and precision. Using small-caliber ammunition as a base to develop prototyping and conduct targeting experiments successfully.

To study the output mode distribution of the frequency doubling resonant in PPLN, the field distributions and beam quality M2 factor of the plano-concave resonator or dual-cavity were calculated and compared. The output fundamental modes of them with tilted Gaussian-reflectivity mirrors were simulated with Fourier transformation method and Fox-Li iterative method. The results show that the output fundamental mode of the frequency doubling external resonants is Gaussian distribution, and cavity length changes have less effect on the output beam quality. The output beam quality of the plano-concave resonator is M2=1.296, divergence angle θ=58.084 μrad, and the Dual-cavity is M2=6.930, θ= 310.56 μrad.

The experiment of 1.06 μm laser disturbing visible CCD image system was carried out, and the phenomenon of crosstalk, crosstalk expanding, full screen saturation and black-and-white spots distributing full screen were observed. With the method of finite element analysis, the temperature rise of detector induced by laser irradiating in the experiment above was simulated. Through numeric analysis, it was found that as temperature rose, dark-current increased while pixel saturation threshold decreased. Especially, when temperature was higher than 350 K, the trend was extremely enhanced. Considering the simulation outcome and changes of dark-current as well as pixel saturation threshold, the experiment phenomenon was properly explained. Results indicated that besides photoelectron produced by photoelectric conversion, the temperature rise induced by laser irradiating and corresponding changes of dark-current as well as pixel saturation threshold was important influencing factor to saturation effect of CCD.
In oblique incidence, the multiple-cavity narrowband thin-film filter will have high polarization dependent loss. A novel 100 GHz angle-tuned thin-film filter with low polarization dependent loss based on the birefractance crystal polarization beam splitter is proposed. By modulating the incident angle and the polarization modes of the incident light, only the general thin-film filter can change its transmitting central wavelength. The stack of the multiple-cavity thin-film filter can be greatly simplified, and its cost will be reduced. This tunable filter has many advantages such as simple structure, low cost and low polarization dependent loss. The experiment shows that its tunable range can easily cover the whole C-band.
Based on the optoelectronic transformation technology and the parallel-laser-scanning inspection principle, a transmission laser scanning inspection system for diameter measurement was designed. A parallel-flat-crystal was used to make up the transmission laser scanning transmitter so that highly paralleled scanning beam can be acquired in the absence of scanning objective lens. The front data processing module and the communication module were included in the measurement and control platform based on FPGA. The incident angle was determined by the time parameter which was measured by the peripheral timing circuit. The offset between transmission beam and incident beam was calculated through the incident angle. The diameter of work-piece was then derived by simple algebraic operation. The measuring principle and characteristics of the system were discussed in details. The experimental platform was established and results show that precision requirement on assembly of the transmitter is not so higher than other systems and measurement error can be easily limited in ±0.008 mm.
To study the influence of the light source, object, measuring system and subpixel location algorithm on the sub-pixel locating accuracy, a CMOS imaging system is designed for experiment and data treatment. The results show that the stability of the source and the measuring surroundings have notable effect on the high accuracy of measurements. The improved centroid algorithm with a threshold has the same effect on de noise but can reduce the interference signal dramatically and especially with a dynamic threshold while the interference signal has the property of slight change. Choosing an algorithm appropriately according to the real object and the error distribution is the key to gain the high precision subpixel location in engineering application.
Both the analysis of phase errors which occur at the abrupt discontinuities in the profilometry based on fringe projection and the identification method are presented in this paper. The sampling effect of CCD will cause a dilution of accuracy, especially at abrupt discontinuities on the object surface. We analyze the relationship among the phase, the height and the equivalent wavelength. By viewing the phase as the argument of a vector, we find out that, CCD sampling introduces error into the measurement, and the phase is nonlinear to the equivalent wavelength. Therefore Temporal Phase Unwrapping (TPU) is introduced into the measurement to identify the abrupt discontinuities. Computer simulations and practical experiment validate the feasibility of this method. The study provides the theoretical support for the reduction of errors caused by CCD sampling.

By obtaining the position of the zero-order white light fringe, the FDA method can be used to measure the micro surface profile.
The speed of general connected component detection algorithms was slow, and most of these algorithms needed more than one scanning. A connected component detection algorithm was presented based on Breadth First Search(BFS) with the First In First Out (FIFO) queue. The algorithm was a non-recursive algorithm, the connected component could be detected by one scanning, and the storage space and running time could be reduced. We used a particular scanning template to process each pixel, avoiding more than one scanning. The multi-core parallel processing was used to accelerate the algorithm, and it realized the truly parallel computing. With the connected regions ordered from top-left to bottom-right, a reverse merging method was proposed to simplify the complexity of region merging. The experimental results show that the detection rate has been greatly improved.

Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can improve image quality effectively and outperforms other enhancement methods discussed in this paper.
Camouflage netting is usually used against monitoring and reconnaissance, and SAR pictures of different bands and polarizations can provide synergy information of targets covered by the camouflage net. By qualitative theory analysis and quantitative data analysis, the effect of different bands and polarizations on targets under the net was researched. And the pixel and decision fusion algorithms were compared. Then a multi-bands SAR target detection method was provided based on decision fusion. Improved Neyman Pearson rule: regarding the probability of target detection and effective detection ratio as performance indexes, was used to select the most effective single-band or polarization resource. Moreover, scale filter was used to evaluate per target pixel and reduce the redundant information which came from single channel. The improved algorithm and the original one were evaluated by using effective detection ratio as performance index of fusion detection algorithm. Through the experimental results, we proved that the algorithm provided can reach high comprehensive performance of false rate-detection rate.

The vibration of platforms would lead to the relative motion between the optical camera and the scene in the exposure time, seriously affecting the image quality. But the model of degradation may not be single. To solve the problem of image simulation degraded by complex forms of vibration with high-order and multimode, the differential image motion path degradation method based on the matrix of image motion is proposed. With this method we can have an overall consideration of both the airspace and frequency domain features of the vibration’s impact on imaging. Actually, as long as the vibration function is known, the degraded image can be simulated with an original image. And by contrast of the theoretical features and the measured features of degraded images’ spectrum, reliability of the simulation method can be validated. The simulation algorithm can control the degradation parameters accurately and flexibly and provide great convenience to the restoration of the degraded images.

The gain principle of EMCCD has been introduced and Total Signal-to-noise Ratio (SNR) formula has been induced based on mechanism of EMCCD noise. The sensitive detection capabilities of EMCCD which can be strongly influenced by readout noise have been weaken by electron multiplication function.
