    For large optical telescopes, the relative poses between the primary and secondary mirrors have very strict requirements. Due to the large quality of the primary mirror, the secondary mirror system is often designed as an adjustable mechanism with multiple degrees of freedom. It has an important impact on telescope imaging. As the diameter of the telescope continues to increase and the application scenarios continue to develop, the secondary mirror adjustment mechanism must not only ensure high precision, but also have a high load, and its design is becoming more and more challenging. In order to find a feasible solution for the adjustment mechanism of the secondary mirror of the large-aperture telescope, according to the development needs and different applications of the adjustment mechanism of the secondary mirror of the large-scale optical telescope, the different adjustment mechanisms of the secondary mirror are sorted, classified and compared. The advantages and disadvantages of the secondary mirror adjustment mechanism are summarized, and the future development of large-aperture telescopes is prospected.

    Based on fractional Talbot effect, a kind of two-dimensional chessboard-like Talbot array illuminator was designed by using a pure phase grating. With Fresnel diffraction theory, the distribution of light field of a pure phase grating illuminated by a plane light wave was analyzed. The results of the analysis shows that two-dimensional chessboard-like Talbot array illuminator with a compression ratio of 2 can be obtained by using two step phase grating with phase modulation of(0,π/2). By binary optics technology, the phase grating was fabricated on an optical glass substrate. Under illumination of an expanded He–Ne laser, the chessboard-like high contrast bright and dark spots was obtained at the fractional Talbot distance and had efficiency of 83.2%. The experiment results agree well with the theoretical analysis. The results reported have high theoretical and practical value for the generation and application of array microbeam in the field of optical interconnection, optical communication and photoelectric hybrid processing.

    In order to realize the space application of strontium atomic optical clocks, the use of permanent magnet Zeeman slower can effectively avoid the problems of high power consumption and large volume ratio caused by tower coils, and is conducive to the spatial development of optical clocks. The annular and cylindrical Zeeman slowers of strontium optical clocks based on permanent magnets have their own advantages and disadvantages in the deceleration principle, magnetic field construction and sample development. The deceleration efficiency of the two slowers can be measured by Doppler velocimetry, and the deceleration distribution curves of the two slowers are cumulatively distributed and compared. The experimental results show that both the two permanent magnet Zeeman slowers achieve a certain deceleration effect, but the volume and deceleration effect of the annular permanent magnet Zeeman slower are compared with the cylindrical permanent magnet Zeeman slower with a single x direction. It has been reduced by 60%, the weight has been reduced by 80%, and the efficiency of some areas of the deceleration effect is doubled, so the advantages are even more significant. The ring-shaped permanent magnet Zeeman slower was further used to capture three isotopes of strontium atoms, and the first-order capture of a miniaturized strontium atomic optical clock was completed, meeting the design requirements of a compact optical clock with zero power consumption and small size.

    In order to solve the problem of primary imaging of visible light and infrared light, a wide-spectral aberration-corrected telescope system based on wedge-shaped beam splitter for simultaneous imaging of visible-infrared light was developed. The device uses a Cassegrain main system with a common aperture channel, and the beam splitter adopts a wedge plate design. By optimizing the design of the wedge angle of the beam splitter, the generation of reflected visible light ghost images can be suppressed, and the transmission is corrected to a certain extent. The aberration of infrared band imaging improves the resolution of the system. According to the design index, the Zemax software was used to simulate, and the results showed that the three imaging channels of the infrared light path, the visible light path and the infrared spectrum switching light path were better than λ/10 for the RMS wave aberration. In addition, the whole device system was analyzed and discussed separately, and the influence of manufacturing errors caused by the wedge beam splitter and system installation errors on the imaging quality was discussed, which served as a reference for the subsequent processing and installation of the device. Finally, the as-built telescope system was tested and analyzed with interferometer. The test results showed that the RMS of the main system was 0.093λ, the RMS of the visible light path was 0.120λ, and the imaging quality met the design requirements. The system adopts a Cassegrain common optical path, and uses a wedge-shaped plate to achieve synchronous imaging of visible light to mid-infrared light, which reduces the volume of the system and expands the function of the device.

    Through binocular observation and matching psychophysical experiments, the visual evaluations of metallic paints under two geometric conditions were carried out, and the visual average data of metallic paints were linearly fitted by the least squares method with the prediction of color appearance model based on the bidirectional reflectance distribution function (BRDF) data and the PR715 spectrophotometer measurements. The experimental results show that BRDF data can be used to predict the color appearance of metallic paints under different geometric conditions. For prediction of the three-attribute, the prediction accuracy of the color appearance model based on BRDF data is not as good as that based on PR715 spectroradiometer data in terms of the brightness and chroma, while the prediction accuracy of the color appearance model based on BRDF data is higher than that based on PR715 spectroradiometer data for hue angles.

    Based on the difference in spatial coherence between target echo and multi-scattering clutter in underwater lidar system, a spiral phase plate and an additional ring mask plate were proposed to form a spatial filter to separate the target reflected signal from the multi-scattered clutters. Due to the good spatial coherence of the target reflected signal, vortex light will be formed after the target reflected signal passing through the spiral phase plate, while the spatial coherence of scattering clutter will be destroyed by multiple scattering and presented a Gaussian-like distribution according to the scattering law. The use of ring-shape mask plate only allows vortex light to pass through and reach the detector, thereby reducing the effect of scattering on ranging. The above-mentioned spatial filtering device is applied to radar-lidar and pulse ranging underwater lidar systems, which can greatly improve the ranging accuracy of targets in turbid water.

    An optical lens performance evaluation method based on multi-band regional mutual information (MRMI) is proposed. Object plane and its image plane is decomposed into multiple frequency band by wavelet transform. The retina is sensitive to different signals at different frequencies in human visual system(HVS). So the wavelet transform simulates this process. Regional mutual information (RMI) is calculated for each sub-band according to information theory. The weighted coefficients of RMI in each sub-band are calculated by integral ratio of wavelet filter and MTF in spatial frequency domain. Then MRMI is done by weighted synthesis of RMI. Six lenses with different Abbe number and refractive index on the market were selected for measurement experiments, and the imaging MRMI value of each lens was obtained, which quantitatively reflected the imaging performance of the lens and was consistent with the visual perception of human eyes.

    The inter-frame differential method is the classical method for motion target detection, but it is difficult to detect a motion target by using this method when the motion target speed is as low as a certain value. Against at the limitation of its detectable target speed, a dynamic frame difference method is proposed based on the inter-frame difference method. Combining the characteristics of FPGA processing, the FPGA design and implementation of dynamic frame difference algorithm is carried out, and a new real-time motion target detection system is constructed. The system is capable of adaptively adjusting the frame spacing used for differential images according to the target motion, which is applicable to the detection of both faster and lower-speed moving targets, expanding the speed range of moving targets that can be detected by the system. Regional division of DDR3 ports solves the problem of multi-frame storage of images on FPGA with limited resources. Several sets of experimental results confirm the effectiveness and real-time performance of the dynamic frame difference method and its FPGA design module. Compared with other systems, this system has a clear advantage in detecting low-speed moving targets and can handle color video streams of 1080p@30Hz.

    In order to remove the Gaussian noise in the infrared image while preserving and restoring the textures, edges and detailed features of the image, an infrared image denoising method based on dual density complex wavelet and coefficient correlation is proposed. This method makes the most of the advantages of dual density dual tree complex wavelet in image processing: translation invariance of image information, multi-directional selectivity of image texture and detail, etc. Based on the assumption of the distribution of image wavelet coefficients, according to the correlation between the current wavelet coefficient and its parent and child wavelet coefficients, Bayesian estimation is made for the noiseless wavelet coefficients to restore the noiseless infrared image. Finally, the denoised image is subjected to guided filter, so as to remove the ripple effect. Experimental data show that this method is superior to some existing algorithms in EPI, FSIM and visual effect of image, which proves that this method has better performance in noise removal, texture edge preservation and restoration.

    A major critical challenge for hill climbing algorithm is the problem of poor accuracy and slow speed in the automatic focusing. Here, a partition search algorithm combining self-adaptive step and two-step search are therefore proposed to solve this challenge. This method divides the focus evaluation curve into gentle and steep region according to the value of focus evaluation function and curve shape. In gentle region, self-adaptive step is utilized to increase the auto-focus search speed. Then two-step search method is explored in steep areas to avoid focusing errors caused by false peak interference and improve auto-focus accuracy. The experimental results show that the focus speed of the partition search algorithm is increased by 11.25% compared with the hill climbing algorithm, and it has better accuracy and anti-interference ability.
