A micro-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer with multi-channel comb filtering characteristics is formed by tapering polarization-maintaining fiber by fused taper technology. Combined with the fiber laser ring cavity system, MMZI achieves dynamic response to vibrating sound signals in the frequency range from 200Hz to 20000Hz., and the minimum detection pressure of noise limit is 6.44mPa·Hz-1/2. The sound frequency response range of the unconnected fiber laser system is 200Hz to 4 000 Hz and the sensitivity is 29.36mV·Pa-1. After being connected to the laser system, the sound frequency response range is expanded by nearly 5 times and the sensitivity is increased by 6 times, which provides an effective method for broadband sound detection system and micro optical signal detection technology.
Aiming at different types of CCDs with a finite number of pixels, a spectrometer with low wavenumber, high resolution, and wide-spectrum is designed, which is of great significance to improve the optical performance of Raman spectrometer and meet the needs of integration. A low wavenumber high-resolution Raman spectrometer with an excitation wavelength of 532nm, spectral range of 10~2500cm-1, and resolution of 3cm-1 is successfully designed for 2048 pixels CCD based on Czerny Turner M-type optical structure and cylindrical lens to improve the sagittal aberration. The point diagram, RMS (root mean square) radius and modulation transfer function (MTF) curve of the imaging system effectively prove that its optical performance fully meets the design requirements.Then,based on this optical structure,the CCD is replaced by another type of 1024 pixels CCD. By selecting the grating with a stronger splitting power, optimizing the grating angle, and fine-tuning the position parameters of the focusing lens and image plane, the spectral range of the Raman spectrometer is 10~1800cm-1, and the resolution is improved to 1.8cm-1. These two sets of optical paths make full use of the number of the limited pixels of CCD and effectively achieve high resolution and wide spectrum. At the same time, the position of the optical elements of the two sets of optical paths changes little, which effectively ensures the optical-mechanical integration design requirements of a multi-model CCD spectrometer. The work of this article not only ensures the integration requirements of an optical-mechanical system of a spectrometer, but also meets the design requirements of low wavenumber, high resolution, and wide spectrum.
Cassegrain telescopic system has been widely employed in environmental observation such as in astrophysics and navigation. Currently available Cassegrain telescopic system mainly used aspheric mirror systems in order to gain satisfied imaging quality. However, aspheric mirror systems are difficult to fabricate and assemble. In the present study, an easier to be fabricated global Cassegrain telescopic system was designed by using the optical design software Zemax OpticStudio.

According to the above specifications, the structure has a better imaging quality with better aberration correct capability. The proposed structure can provide a new way for designing Cassegrain reflectional telescopic optical systems.
In view of the fact that the attitude measurement of the air bearing table is an important basis for the control of the air bearing table, in order to realize the accurate and fast attitude measurement of the Three-axis air bearing table, a real-time and high-precision attitude measurement method based on monocular vision is proposed.

The OCT is used to preliminary explore the effect of moxibustion on epidermal microcirculation at different points on the meridian. Three moxibustion experiments were carried out for each healthy volunteer, and a total of 30 experimental data were obtained. Each group performed 10 measurements on four observation points, and a total of 1200 data were obtained. Based on the imaging characteristics of OCT signals and the optical characteristic parameters in tissue optics, the backscattered signal interval at the acupoint depth of 0.4~1.0mm is fitted to obtain the light attenuation coefficient of the acupoint skin. The results show that compared with the skin light attenuation coefficient in the natural state, the skin light attenuation coefficient of acupuncture points increases by about 40% within 30 minutes after moxibustion, and the backscattered signal intensity of other acupoints on the meridian point where the moxibustion point was located is significantly reduced. This phenomenon is not observed at non-acupoint control points near the meridians and at other control points on the meridians. The results show that the effect of moxibustion on acupoint skin microcirculation can be transmitted to other acupuncture points through the channels of meridians using OCT. This phenomenon has certain clinical significance and further extends the scope of application of traditional OCT.
Metal is an important component in building metamaterials. Therefore, it is very important to determine the surface second-order nonlinear susceptibility of metal in the study of metamaterial’s nonlinearity. A high-sensitive spectrometer was used to measure the second harmonic generation and the acquisition signal was calibrated by the Maker fringe of the quartz crystal whose second-order nonlinear susceptibility is known. Experimentally, a femtosecond laser with a wavelength of 800nm was used as the laser source. The second harmonic signals generated from a 35nm-thick gold film prepared by vacuum evaporation were systematically measured under different polarization conditions at incident angles from 10° to 80°. Then three second-order nonlinear susceptibilities of the gold film were determined. The experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical calculation.
At present, machine vision is often used in large-scale repetitive industrial production process and some occasions where artificial vision is difficult to meet the requirements, through the machine vision detection method can greatly improve the production efficiency and automation. For some objects that need multi-faceted high-accuracy detection, such as semiconductor thermoelectric cooler (TEC) components, it is often necessary to configure an image acquisition device for each facet and use multiple sets of mechanisms to realize multi-facet detection, which increases the complexity of installation and reduces the reliability of the device. Simultaneous equal optical path confocal imaging of semiconductor TEC components’ two adjacent surfaces based on two-color separation imaging method is proposed, so as to reduce the number of image acquisition devices and the complexity of the device. The device can realize the same optical path confocal imaging of two adjacent surfaces of the TEC component simultaneously, and can be found applications in the automatic inspection fields of machine vision which needs multi-facet inspection, so as to reduce the cost in the actual manufacturing process.

Aiming at the high-precision and universal measurement of the apex radius of curvature of rotationally symmetrical aspheric optical elements with different quadric constants, a laser differential confocal-based aspheric apex radius of curvature measurement method is proposed. This method uses circular pupil technology to make the measured confocal point of the aspheric element close to the center of the apex spherical sphere. Using the differential confocal technology, the cat’s eye point and the confocal point of the measured aspherical component are precisely aimed and positioned respectively, and the actual vertex radius of curvature is measured. Through theoretical simulation analysis, the relationship between the size of the circular aperture and the theoretical deviation of the vertex radius of curvature is obtained, and the actual measured value is compensated. Furthermore, high-precision and universal measurement of the apex radius of curvature of rotationally symmetrical aspheric elements with different quadric constants are realized. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that the relative accuracy of this method for measuring the apex radius of curvature of rotationally symmetrical aspherical elements is less than 0.01%. It provides a brand-new technical means for the high-precision and universal measurement of the apex radius of curvature of aspheric optical elements.
Mountainous circular structures can provide abundant information on deep geological processes. To deepen the exploration and research of this special geological structure, based on the GF-5 satellite image. The circular structure in the south of Lufeng Dinosaur Valley is classified by land use/cover classification and then the hyperspectral characteristic of the classified land tapes is analyzed. Finally, the hyperspectral characteristics of the same land types inside and outside the circular structure are analyzed. The following conclusions are obtained: In the study area, the unused land accounts for the largest proportion(about 36.14%),which is mainly distributed in the circular form;Forest land accounts for 29.03%,and grassland accounts for 17.80% of the total area; Compared with the spectral library data, the spectral curves of the six land types are consistent with those of the corresponding features, indicating that the object-oriented classification results are effective; The overall trend of hyperspectral curves of the same land use/cover types inside and outside the circular structure is similar, but there are still differences. The maximum reflectance difference of unused land, woodland and grassland inside and outside the circular structure is 6.61%, 4.33% and 4.05%, respectively, but there are bands with only 0.01% reflectance difference. The results provide a theoretical basis and technical support for the establishment of a spaceborne hyperspectral database of land use/cover types of special geological structures in central Yunnan and also provide basic data for further and fine research based on hyperspectral technology.
Because of the existence of high order dispersion, non-linear distortion of optical signals usually appears during the fiber propagation process, it results in the increase of bit error rate of received signals. In view of this, a prediction algorithm of optical signals based on deep neural networks is proposed.

At present, many infrared image enhancement methods use image gray features to enhance the image. These methods ignore the non-uniformity of image gray distribution, resulting in the loss of details and unsatisfactory contrast. In order to overcome the above problems, an infrared image enhancement algorithm based on adaptive histogram equalization coupled with Laplace transform is proposed. Firstly, after the input image is evenly segmented, the degree of non-uniformity of image gray distribution is calculated with the help of Gini coefficient of Lorentz curve. Based on the degree of non-uniformity of image gray distribution, the adaptive upper and lower thresholds are constructed to realize adaptive histogram equalization for image contrast enhancement. Then, the smooth filtering method is introduced to remove the noise in the image. Based on the traditional Laplace transform, the eight neighborhood Laplace transform is formed by integrating the diagonal second derivative information of image pixel value, which is used to sharpen the image edge and other details, so as to enhance the image clarity. Finally, the algorithm is used to enhance different infrared images. The experimental results show that the contrast and clarity of the enhanced image are better, and the visual effect is better.
