Large view field and high-resolution imaging is a key problem that needs to be addressed currently in domains of scene monitoring, visual navigation, etc. This work introduces a liquid crystal electric scanning module for light source and image receiver through active illumination. The liquid crystal electric scanning module was developed by liquid crystal polarization grating (LCPG) and ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) component. Further, an active imaging system was set up verifying the image field extension. The target image with large view field and high resolution is obtained through timing control and stitching fusion. Resolution of 3840×480 and field-of-view of 52° was obtained. The results illustrate that the active illumination imaging based on liquid crystal electrical scanning can expand the resolution of imaging view field by 6 times. non-mechanical scanning imaging is achieved by providing a candidate method for large view field extension.

    In order to reduce the impact of speckle noise on reconstructed phase quality in the field of digital holography, An improved non local mean filtering method for speckle suppression in digital holography is proposed. This method uses the Pearson correlation coefficient in statistics to improve the measurement method of sub block similarity in non local mean filtering, and divides the similarity coefficient into two different intensity domains based on its size, assigning different values to them, making the contrast of grayscale image denoising stronger. This method can not only further filter out speckle, but also better preserve the edge information of the image, which can solve the problem of image overfiltering in traditional non local mean filtering. The experimental results show that the improved non local mean filtering can effectively reduce speckle noise in digital holographic images, improve image quality and clarity, and perform better than most traditional digital image processing methods.

Experimental framework of the proposed scheme consists of a laser diode (LD), DP-BPSK modulator driven by binary data, polarization controller (PC), and polarizer. The DP-BPSK modulator driven by binary data without digital analog converter, making it structurally simple and easy to implement. To verify the feasibility of the proposed scheme, 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM-4) signals are generated using this scheme and transmitted over a 65km standard single-mode fiber (SSMF) at different data rates. The performance of these signals is evaluated based on the experimental results, including the eye diagrams and bit error rate (BER), which indicates that the transmitted signals have a high quality. Therefore, the proposed scheme has promising application potential in future short-distance optical communication.

    The 20mm carbon steel bright surface is a standard plate that demonstrates a cutting ability of 10000 watts. For verification, it employs a supersonic single-layer nozzle with an aperture of 1.2. The focus to defocus ratio is approximately +12.5, ensuring a superior cutting effect. However, using a hot nozzle for laser cutting heads during this process presents challenges for long-term stable cutting. Through optical software simulation of the laser head and actual beam analysis testing, results indicate that achieving a good cutting effect relies not only on the length of the focusing optical path but also on the total length of the optical path itself. The variation in cooling and light absorption devices within different cutting heads may be the primary reason that affects the outgoing beam under the same optical path.

    To study the effect of spectral reconstruction algorithm on spectral reflectance reconstruction accuracy and chromaticity in order to meet the demand of image reproduction to a greater extent and avoid the phenomenon of isochromia. An inverse variance weighted regression spectral reflectance reconstruction algorithm was proposed by improving the traditional principal component analysis method. Firstly, the inverse variance weighting model is introduced to adjust the weight of factors. Secondly, the spectral reflectance training sample set is normalized and a new covariance matrix is calculated. Finally, the spectral reflectance is reconstructed by singular value decomposition of the weighted spectral reflectance sample set. Experiments show that the color accuracy of CIE DE2000 based on inverse variance weighted spectral reflectance reconstruction algorithm is increased by 3.3%, spectral reconstruction accuracy is increased by 2%, and good color reproduction effect can be achieved. The weighted algorithm can be used in spectral reflectance reconstruction, which is helpful to improve the accuracy and chrominance of spectral reconstruction.

    Fourier Transform Spectrometer(FTS) has been extensively utlized in solar activity observation because of its ultra-high spectral resolution. During the process of spectral reconstruction using zero-crossing single sided interferogram, spectral are subject to frequency leakage, side lobes effects, and reuse of sampled data near the zero optical path difference resulting in spectral smoothing and distortion. In order to obtain more accurate solar spectra, it is necessary to apply weighted apodization operations to the zero-crossing single sided interferogram. An odd polynomial asymmetric weighted apodization function is utilized to carry out weighted and apodization operations on the zero-crossing single-sided interferogram. An investigation is conducted to assess the impact of employing diverse apodization functions in the construction of an asymmetric weighted apodization function for spectral reconstruction purposes. The simulated experimental results demonstrate that the use of odd polynomial asymmetric weighted apodization function effectively facilitates spectral recovery. Additionally, when compared with the weighted apodization methods proposed by Griffiths, Xiang Libin, and Sumner P. Davis, the method proposed exhibits a smaller error. Finally, the proposed method is further applied to the interferogram obtained from the Bruker IFS-125HR . Compared to other apodization methods, the use of the method proposed in this paper yields superior results in solar spectral recovery.

    The 3D measurement method based on phase unwrapping of structured light is widely used because of its high accuracy. However, the phase will be folded when the phase exceeds 2π, so the traditional 3D reconstruction of structured light requires phase unwrapping. The unwrapping phase of phase measurement profilometry at discontinuous depth is complicated. When there is a large depth difference on the surface of the measured object or when multiple planes are measured, because the wrapping phase range is[0, 2π], there is a problem of folding multiple 2π in the phase difference calculated at the discontinuity, resulting in unwrapping failure. Phase measurement profilometry can not accurately express the position information of the object at this time. A three-dimensional measurement method of structured light based on defocus unwrapping is proposed. The 24-step phase shift method is used to obtain the wrapping phase, and the number of wrapping phase 2π is determined by time defocusing method to assist the unwrapping calculation. A corresponding platform is built and experiments are carried out to verify the proposed method. Experiments show that the proposed method solves the problem that the phase measurement profilometry can not accurately express the position of the object when the depth drop is large. The method can be used to obtain the depth information and details of the scene with large depth drop.
