Show Abstract
To some extent, the mapping relationship between the camera and projector images determines the precision of surface
reconstruction in digital close-range photogrammetry. In this paper, a new method is presented to achieve sub-pixel-level
mapping between the camera and projector images. Instead of mapping the stripe from the camera to the projector, which
is pixel-precision-based, a set of pixels that share the same decoded number were picked out on the camera images and
their barycenter was calculated to mapped onto the pixel on the projector images. In most cases, the calculation of the
barycenter is able to achieve sub-pixel precision. Compared with existing approaches based on the direct mapping of the
stripe on the camera image to the projector image, the proposed method is characterized by higher accuracy in mapping
the points and thus the surface reconstruction performance. The experimental results are presented to show the
effectiveness of the proposed method in the improvement of the accuracy of shape reconstruction.

Show Abstract
Different from backlight for panel display, the backlight for integral imaging should be directional in order to improve the viewing quality. A method for eliminating the flipped image and improving the optical efficiency for integral imaging is proposed by using directional backlight with diffractive grating.

Yuanyuan Hou;
Jiancheng Xu
Show Abstract
Phase-shifted shearography needs to extract dynamic phase of the measured object after loading, so an algorithm for
dynamic phase extraction in phase-shifted shearography is proposed to analyze the speckle patterns with random phase
shifts. By using correlation method, the fringe patterns with random phase shifts are obtained from the speckle patterns
with random phase shifts. Then the dynamic phase distributions are extracted from one set of random phase-shifted
fringe patterns by principle component analysis. The experimental results show that the extracted phases are accurate and
efficient. The proposed method is non-iterative and has no strict requirement for the spatial-carrier frequency of fringe
patterns, so it is suitable for dynamic shearing speckle interferometry.

In order to improve the dynamic range and the signal-noise ratio of the image intensifier, keep the flux of the screen of image intensifier constant. In the article, introduced a design of the switching power supply and tested its performance. Firstly, used a sampling amplifier amplify the feedback current signals. The feedback signals were converted into square wave signals through a digital circuit. Then, using the MOSFET in the post stage circuit produced high voltage and high speed adjustable square pulses. The frequency of the pulse is 1 kHz, the speed of the cutting edge is 20ns and the amplitude is 200V. The photoelectron emission time of the photocathode is short when the width of the high speed pulse is narrow for strong illumination. On the contrary, the time is long when the width is wide for weak illumination. The number of photoelectron is a constant no matter what kind of the illumination. It keeps the flux reaching the phosphor screen constant.

Show Abstract
Compressive imaging(CI)can offer a versatile improvements for imaging systems, such as smaller compressed data volume and super-resolution. Among various methods to realize Compressive imaging, pushing encoding mask has attracted the most attention with its compatibility to the space remote sensing. However, complex pre- calibrations are usually needed for calibrating the encoding mask to achieve the measurement matrix for the image reconstruction. Herein, we design a pushing compressive imaging system which fixed with the function of situ calibration of the encoding mask. The pushing compressive imaging system was constructed, and the experimental results confirmed that the system had the ability for data compression and super-resolution. And above all, the system can avoid the complex pre-calibration, which makes the on-orbit calibration feasible. In the simulations, twice, three times and four times resolutions higher than the captured image’s resolution are performed respectively, which confirm that the method can improve the target image resolution based on the relative low resolution raw captured target images. Furthermore, by pushing the mask precisely which can be considered equivalent to the real pushing imaging, we have reconstructed the true super-resolution target image accurately based on the mask calibration and 6 captured pushing imaging frames.

Show Abstract
In the last years, several techniques have been developed for the measurement of the three velocity components in a fluid plane or volume.Digital holography particle tracing velocimetry(DHPTV)was applied to observe the chain transformation process of magnetorheological fluids (MR fluids) under an external magnetic field. With the help of correlation coefficient(CC)method[1], the focus plane of standard particle target was determined. The displacement of standard target mounted on a precise displacement measurement workbench was compared with the distance measured by difference of focal planes movement. Making use of a controlled rotating platform with constant revolving speed, the rotation speed of particles was obtained after extracting the coordinates from reconstruction images. The measured speed was compared with actual speed of particles,which can be worked out through rotation speed of platform. The transformation speed was measured when magnetic particle moved along with magnetic direction under an external magnetic field. The experiments showed that a visible part of 3D velocity field could be observed in the chain transformation process of MR fluids with DHPTV.

TOF (time-of-flight) depth camera is a 3D imaging device that can obtain high-precision distance information. It is used to estimate 3D structure directly without the help of traditional computer-vision algorithms. However, it has some disadvantages such as generated a depth map with low resolution and it has large random noise. In order to overcome this limitation, we proposed a new method with combines the confidence map and use the interpolation operation to improve the resolution of the image.

In synthetic aperture integral imaging system, a camera array is employed to obtain multiple perspective images from a 3D scene. However, the imaging lens suffer from the limitation of depth of field which disallows a conventional integral imaging system to obtain full-focus elemental images. To solve this problem, we present a multi-focus elemental images fusion method to reconstruct resolution enhanced 3D integral images.

Show Abstract
This paper presents a simple and effective method, without the need for any additional recording of the intensity maps or tremendous iterative computations, to remove the complex zeroth-order term in the complex hologram for phase retrieval in two-step quadrature phase-shifting holography by utilizing the intensity in certain area in the complex hologram. We select a particular area in the complex hologram where there is negligible diffraction from the test sample to calculate the intensity. The calculated intensity value allows us to eliminate the complex zeroth-order term from the complex hologram. Exact phase distribution can then be reconstructed by using the new complex hologram without the zeroth-order and twin image noise. Experiment results have been performed to verify the effectiveness and feasibility of our proposed method.

In this paper, we propose an optical method based on integral imaging(II) and ptychography to encrypt threedimensional( 3D) information with simple architecture. The 3D scene plaintext is encrypted by a camera array and double-random phase masks via ptychography to generate a series of diffraction intensity patterns as ciphertexts. Then, the decrypting process with ptychographic iteration and II reconstruction is employed to retrieve high-quality 3D images. Since scanning light probes and parameters of II can serve as secret keys that enlarge the key space, and elemental image array generated by the II pickup has redundancy property, the security of encryption scheme can be improved significantly. Also, the decrypted 3D images in our proposed method have high-quality. Preliminary experiments are carried out, and the results demonstrate the feasibility and robustness of our proposed method. Especially, this research is suitable for real large-size 3D scene.

Show Abstract
Freeform optics especially Continues Phase Plate, are greatly demanded in high power laser systems. Fabrication of them with high efficiency and low sub-surface damage becomes a major challenge. Atmospheric pressure plasma processing using radicals produced by plasma torch, which has strong potential for machining freeform optics with millimeter and sub-millimeter spatial resolution, is proposed. This paper presents a novel plasma torch designed for fabricating freeform optics. This integral compact torch is comprised of needle electrode and micro-hole electrode. Millimeter-scale plasma jet of different size can be obtained by changing the micro-hole electrode. To analyze the process distribution of process gas of the jet flow, flow simulation is performed using COMSOL Multiphysics software. A set of single factor experiments are conducted to reveal the relationship between removal characteristics and flow rate of He, CF4 and O2. The removal rate with adding O2 increases 7 times of that without O2, and the spectrum change of the plasma jet is observed. It indicates that O2 improves removal rate through consuming existing CFx to produce more F radicals. The removal rate and full width at half maximum (FWHM) of typical removal function is about 19 μm/min-2.2 mm and 18 μm/min-1.1 mm respectively.

Show Abstract
Binary pattern defocused projection is a promising method of measuring 3D shapes. However, deep or long-distance defocus prevents high-accuracy 3D measurement. The triangle pattern is preferred because of its slight defocus and ability to overcome the nonlinear gamma. Thus, a novel method combining triangle pattern slight defocus with phase shifting is proposed. The proposed method has two merits: (1) Compared with the sinusoidal pattern, the proposed method can overcome the nonlinear gamma. (2) Compared with the binary pattern, it has the advantage of slightly defocusing to an ideal sinusoidal pattern in a short distance. Thus, the measurement error caused by nonlinear gamma and deep defocus is reduced. The RMS error of the proposed method is <0.03 mm. Theory analysis and experiments demonstrate the feasibility and superiority of the proposed method.

Show Abstract
Zinc sulfide is a kind of typical infrared optical material, commonly produced using single point diamond turning (SPDT). SPDT can efficiently produce zinc sulfide aspheric surfaces with micro-roughness and acceptable figure error. However the tool marks left by the diamond turning process cause high micro-roughness that degrades the optical performance when used in the visible region of the spectrum. Magnetorheological finishing (MRF) is a deterministic, sub-aperture polishing technology that is very helpful in improving both surface micro-roughness and surface figure.This paper mainly investigates the MRF technology of large aperture off-axis aspheric optical surfaces for zinc sulfide. The topological structure and coordinate transformation of a MRF machine tool PKC1200Q2 are analyzed and its kinematics is calculated, then the post-processing algorithm model of MRF for an optical lens is established. By taking the post-processing of off-axis aspheric surfacefor example, a post-processing algorithm that can be used for a raster tool path is deduced and the errors produced by the approximate treatment are analyzed. A polishing algorithm of trajectory planning and dwell time based on matrix equation and optimization theory is presented in this paper. Adopting this algorithm an experiment is performed to machining a large-aperture off-axis aspheric surface on the MRF machine developed by ourselves. After several times’ polishing, the figure accuracy PV is proved from 3.3λ to 2.0λ and RMS from 0.451λ to 0.327λ. This algorithm is used to polish the other shapes including spheres, aspheres and prisms.

Show Abstract
Texture depth is defined as the deviations of the road surface profile from the datum plane. It is currently assessed by two methods--sensor measured texture depth (SMTD) and sand patch method (SPM). Many researchers did lots of experiments to study the correlation between these two methods, but ignored the waveform characteristic of the road surface profile. A mathematical model of the road surface profile was built in this paper to calculation of texture depth and compare the two methods. This paper studied the statistical relationship between sensor measured texture depth and sand patch method in different waveform characteristics, and found out that the frequency is the main factor. The results show that the two methods have excellent correlation at the same frequency, and the correlation coefficient R2 is equal to 1. Plates with same frequency were designed to conducted comparison experiments. The result verify the above conclusion. It shows good correlation between the laser detection technology and the volumetric patch technique. Since manufacturers mainly use sand patch method for experiments, the result provides a theoretical basis and technical support for factory inspection. Also, it can be used to get the characteristics of the pavement structure in return.

In recent years, more and more attention has been paid to the bionic structure and functional materials. The theoretical research and fabricating ways of the Super-hydrophobic surface have sound achievements. However, the existing methods largely depend on the precision of the equipment and complex chemical substances, and it is hard to ensure the consistence of the material surface. Therefore, construction of microstructure on the surface of the material by using the method of mechanical processing to make the scale of the Super-hydrophobic surface to promote the popularization and application of Super-hydrophobic surface is of great significance. In order to put forward the innovative microstructure and to provide theoretical basis for the subsequent mechanical processing, based on the analysis of the classical theory of Super-hydrophobic, the super-hydrophobic film was by sol gel method. To explore the effects of different ratio of materials on the hydrophobicity, a micro/nano-structured super-hydrophobic coating was obtained by coating a film improved by hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) after a film improved by polyethylene glycol (PEG) was coated. The microstructure of bilayer films is analyzed, and the double-layer film structure is simplified to design two kinds of microstructure models. For the design of the two models based on the Wenzel and Cassie equations, a roughness factor is adopted to establish the quantitative relationship between the contact angle and the microstructure parameters, and the microstructure parameters is also analyzed by using MATLAB software, and hence the optimized microstructure parameters is obtained.

Absorption of edge-cladding Cu-glass for the strong amplified spontaneous emission of Nd-glass disk will produce
a large rise for the temperature and thermal stress near the cladding interface between Cu-glass and Nd-glass.
According to the calculation for amplified spontaneous emission of Nd-glass and thermal stress along the thickness
of Cu-glass, which is produced in our lab, the relations among temperature rise, thermal stress, CuO doping
concentration and thickness of cladding Cu-glass, are discussed in detail. If using 0.10% CuO doping instead of
1%, which was used in the previous time, the maximum temperature will decrease from 46K to 13K and the thermal
stress will decrease from 4.0 MPa to 0.8 MPa. Our edges cladding experimental results, obtained by the low CuO
concentration edge cladding glass, are consistent with the inferences and validated in the SG series laser systems.

Show Abstract
Aiming at the problem that the damage threshold of gold coated grating is relatively low, a dielectric film is considered on the gold coated gratings as a protective layer. The thickness range of the protective layer is determined under the prerequisite that the diffraction efficiency of the gold coated grating is reduced to an acceptable degree. In this paper, the electromagnetic field, the temperature field and the stress field distribution in the grating are calculated when the silica and hafnium oxide are used as protective layers, under the preconditions of the electromagnetic field distribution of the gratings known. The results show that the addition of the protective layer changes the distribution of the electromagnetic field, temperature field and stress field in the grating, and the protective layer with an appropriate thickness can improve the laser damage resistance of the grating.

The subsurface damage (SSD) introduced by manufacturing procedures are the important factors affecting mechanical
and optical properties of the high-precision optical components. In this paper, we investigated the relationships between
the size of SSD’s micro crack and optical properties by studying on the influence of grinding process parameters
(average abrasive size, grinding force, wheel speed, grinding depth) on the optical properties (transmittance, absorbance,
reflectance) of high-precision optical components first, and then determining the micro crack’s size under the grinding
process parameters. Results indicate that with the increase of average abrasive size, grinding force or grinding depth, the
transmittance of high-precision optical components decreases while the absorbance and reflectance increase. However,
as the wheel speed increases, the transmittance of high-precision optical components increases while the absorbance and
the reflectance decrease. Combining these results with the influence of grinding process parameters on the size of micro
crack, it can be found that with the increase of micro crack’s size, the transmittance will decrease, while the absorbance
and the reflectance will increase.

Show Abstract
With method of fixing wire in the high power pulsed xenon lamp tube, an experimental device of double lamp series
was established to simulate the actual working environment of the xenon lamp. The experimental results show that the
thermal damage with the pre delay time of 150μs is much more serious compared with the pre delay time of 250μs. The
reason could be that the metastable particles formed by pre discharge are uneven with the former. The tube pale first
appears near the left lamp anode and the right lamp cathode. The possible reason is that bifurcates and shifts of the
plasma discharge channel are affected by the wire. The test results show that the main reason of thermal damage is that
the temperature of discharge plasma is uneven inside the tube. By improving the structure of the lamp box and
optimizing the pre delay time, the discharge plasma temperature can be decreased for the avoidance of the thermal
damage.

Show Abstract
Owing to damage, thermal issues, and nonlinear optical effects, the output power of fiber laser has been proven to be limited. Beam combining techniques are the attractive solutions to achieve high-power high-brightness fiber laser output. The spectral beam combining (SBC) is a promising method to achieve high average power output without influencing the beam quality. A polarization independent spectral beam combining grating is one of the key elements in the SBC. In this paper the diffraction efficiency of the grating is investigated by rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA). The theoretical -1st order diffraction efficiency of the grating is more than 95% from 1010nm to 1080nm for both TE and TM polarizations. The fabrication tolerance is analyzed. The polarization independent spectral beam combining grating with the period of 1.04μm has been fabricated by holographic lithography - ion beam etching, which are within the fabrication tolerance.

Show Abstract
The surface chemical composition and atomic emission spectroscopy of F atoms and CF2 molecules involved in the
processing of Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Jet (APPJ) produced from CF4 precursor has been explored. The XPS
spectra illustrated that small amount of radicals including C-CFn and CF-CFn could be introduced onto the fused silica
surface during the CF4 plasma process, the fluorocarbon radicals were generated during CF4 plasma ionization.
Moreover, the relative concentrations of excited state species of F atoms and CF2 molecules, which play significant role
in remove and fluorocarbon radicals, were acquired for CF4 plasma. The densities of F atoms increased dramatically with
increasing applied RF power, whereas CF2 molecules decreased monotonically over the same power range, the
subsequent electron impacted decomposition of plasma species after CF4 precursor fragmentation. The spectrum of the F
atoms and CF2 molecules fallowed the same tendency with the increasing concentration of gas CF4, reaching the
maximum at the 20sccm and 15sccm respectively, and then the emission intensity of reactive atoms decreased with more
CF4 molecules participating. Addition certain amount O2 into CF4 plasma resulted in promoting CF4 dissociation, O2 can
easily react with the dissociation product of CF2 molecules, which inhibit the compound of the F atoms, so with the
increasing concentration of O2, the concentration of the CF2 molecules decreased and the emission intensities of F atoms
showed the maximum at the O2/CF4 ratio of 20%. These results have led to the development of a scheme that illustrates
the mechanisms of surface chemistry reaction and the affection of plasma parameters in CF4 plasma systems with respect
to F and CF2 gas-phase species.

With the progress of high power laser system, the specifications of the large-aperture optics on the
low-spatial-frequency wavefront, mid-spatial-frequency wavefront, high-spatial-frequency wavefront
all meet stricter requirements. To the mid-spatial-frequency wavefront, it has been researched less than
others. The influence factors of the mid-spatial-frequency wavefront PSD1 error for large-aperture
mirrors are analyzed in this work. The results show that the influence factors of the
mid-spatial-frequency wavefront is different with the low-spatial-frequency wavefront. PV error
depends on the peak and vale of film surface,Grms error is affected by the big amplitude wave of film
surface, and PSD1 error is mainly caused by the small frequency wave of film surface. So it is the key
to controlling the PSD1 error for large-aperture mirrors that reducing small frequency wave of film

An experimental study of the ignition and combustion characteristics of Al/Mg fuel-rich propellant at lower ambient
pressures was performed. Measurements were obtained in a sealed vessel capable of reaching pressures as low as 0.1 atm
with the application of vacuum pump. The ignition delay time was obtained by photodiodes which monitor the laser signal

High reflection films for 800nm picoseconds laser system requires broad bandwidth, which is usually about ±50nm, or even to ±70nm, and a high laser damage threshold is needed at the same time. Multilayer dielectrics using three materials Nb2O5/SiO2-HfO2/SiO2 were fabricated by electron beam evaporation. Benefit from its high refractive index of Nb2O5 and the high damage threshold of HfO2 films, the multilayer dielectrics were prepared successfully, which have more than 99.5% reflectance within bandwidth larger than 140nm around the center wavelength of 800 nm. The laser damage characteristics of the films at 150ps, 1Hz were studied, and the damage mechanism was analyzed.

Show Abstract
Because of its excellent optical performance, the fused silica is widely used in laser industry. In addition, the fused silica can withstand high power laser, due to its pure component, and the performance is most outstanding within all types of glasses. So fused silica can be used for optical lens in high power laser field.
From the manufacturing process stand point, the fused silica can be categorized to four types: type Ⅰ, type Ⅱ, type Ⅲ, and type Ⅳ. The fused silica of type Ⅰand type Ⅱ is made through melting silica sand in graphite furnace or oxyhydrogen flame. There are many defects in these types of fused silica, for example, the air bubbles, inclusions and metallic impurity. The other two types are made by synthetic reaction of SiCl
4 with water in oxyhydrogen or plasma flame. Both type Ⅲ and Ⅳ have excellent performance in transmittance and internal quality. However, type Ⅳof fused silica has disadvantage in small aperture and overall high manufacturing cost.
Take the transmittance and internal quality into consideration, the type Ⅲ fused silica is the most suitable for large-aperture lens, and can withstand high power laser. The systemic studies of manufacturing process were done to improve the performance of type Ⅲ fused silica in various areas, for instance, the optical homogeneity, the stress birefringence, the absorption coefficient and the damage threshold. There are four steps in manufacturing process of type Ⅲ fused silica, ingot production, reshaping, annealing and cold-working. The critical factors of ingot production, like the flame of burner and the structure of furnace, were deeply studied in this paper to improve the performance of fused silica.
On the basis of the above research, the performance and quality of the fused silica measured up to advanced world levels. For instance, the result of optical homogeneity can be controlled to 2~5 ppm, the stress birefringence is better than 4 nm/cm, the absorption coefficient is about 5.971ppm cm
-1 (1ω), the damage threshold is greater than 80, 25 and 23 J/cm
2 with the wavelength at 1064, 532 and 351nm respectively, the bandwidth used for measuring is 3ns.The fused silica has already been used in the area of high power laser facilities, aerospace industry, primary lens of interferometer based on its excellent performance.

The response characteristics of the pitch polishing pad under the pressure of conditioner is the key factor which affect the control efficacy of surface figure in annular polishing. The effect of the environmental temperature and humidity, rotation speed of the pad, uploading ratio and eccentricity of the conditioner on the response characteristics of pitch polishing pad were experimental researched. To this aim, a control system of the environmental temperature and humidity on the 2.8m-aperture annular polishing machine is established. The control precision of the local environmental temperature upon the pad is up to ±0.1℃, and the control precision of humidity is up to ±1% RH. The experimental results indicate that the matching degree of the pad and the conditioner decides the changing rule of the surface figure of workpiece with the eccentricity of the conditioner. The new adjustable parameters including the environmental temperature and humidity and the uploading ratio of the conditioner were introduced to change the matching degree and improve the controllability of the of the surface figure. Under the optimized process, the long-term stability of the surface figure of the meter-scale optical element is realized using the 2.8m annular polishing machine, which is an important step for the final realization of the deterministic processing in the large-aperture annular polishing.

Show Abstract
Higher accuracy of optical surface measurement is needed with the rapid development of optical industry and technology, especially in the field of optical manufacture and optical metrology. Fizeau interferometery is widely recognized as one of the most important measurement techniques currently in use. Results of the Fizeau interferometeric testing contain the reference surface errors and test surface errors. The test accuracy is restricted by the error of reference surface. As a result, so-called absolute flatness testing technology must be used to eliminate the system error such as reference surface error and higher accuracy of the surface profile testing. In this paper, the theory formula of even and odd functions is deduced, and the method are programmed for simulation. Based on HOOL phase-shifting interferometer, experiments are done to achieve high accuracy flatness measurement. The experiment shows that with high-accuracy interferometer, absolute flatness testing technology can effectively calibrate reference surface and improve the accuracy of flatness surface testing. An important result of this experiment is that the accuracy of the test surface can be reached λ/50.

Show Abstract
Fundus camera is widely used in screening and diagnosis of retinal disease. It is a simple, and widely used medical equipment. Early fundus camera expands the pupil with mydriatic to increase the amount of the incoming light, which makes the patients feel vertigo and blurred. Nonmydriatic fundus camera is a trend of fundus camera. Desktop fundus camera is not easy to carry, and only suitable to be used in the hospital. However, portable nonmydriatic retinal camera is convenient for patient self-examination or medical stuff visiting a patient at home. This paper presents a portable nonmydriatic fundus camera with the field of view (FOV) of 40°, Two kinds of light source are used, 590nm is used in imaging, while 808nm light is used in observing the fundus in high resolving power. Ring lights and a hollow mirror are employed to restrain the stray light from the cornea center. The focus of the camera is adjusted by reposition the CCD along the optical axis. The range of the diopter is between -20m-1 and 20m-1.

Show Abstract
The radiation characteristics in millimeter-wave band of the metal objects are complicated particularly those with complex three-dimensional structures. The complicated electromagnetic environment, in which the stereoscopic metal objects reflect the radiation energy in all directions with arbitrary incident angles, makes this problem even more challenging. In this paper, the surface panel method and the ray tracing theory are used to analyze the bins of the stereoscopic metal targets surface and their corresponding radiation sources in the reflection path. In addition, in 3mm band the radiometric images of the metal ball and the metal column are given by practical measurements. By comparing the single radiation scanning curves of the selected metal targets, the influence of the three-dimensional structures on the brightness temperature was analyzed and verified. Furthermore, the differences of the radiation patterns of different stereoscopic structures are also summarized.

Show Abstract
Carbon fiber composites have been wildly used in aerospace industry due to the excellent performance. However, the research on defect evolution law and the performance analysis have been limited by the lack of effective tools. Two kinds of computed tomography (CT) slice images of carbon fiber composites, x-ray attenuation contrast and phase contrast, were obtained with the diffraction enhancement imaging (DEI) device at Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility (BSRF). The structure details and the defects in the sample could be clearly distinguished from the image. Moreover, phase contrast CT provides higher contrast and can identify the defects difficult to be recognized in attenuation contrast CT. DEI provides a method for in-situ observation of the carbon fiber composites and would be a valuable tool for the development of carbon fiber composite material.

With the progresses of material sciences and technologies, carbon fiber composite shell-plate structures have been widely used in aerospace industry. Suffering from the drastic change of penetration thickness during the 360°scanning, conventional computed tomography (CT) is difficult to be applied to this kind of structures with a big length-width-thickness ratio, and not easy to implement the defect detection and the performance analysis. Based on the existing diffraction enhanced imaging (DEI) device at Beijing Synchrotron Radiation Facility beam-line 4W1A, a new computed laminography (CL) scanning system was designed and developed. It was integrated with the DEI device to form a synchrotron radiation DEI-CL system for plate-shell structures. Within this system, the components such as light source, detector and turntable and the working principle were discussed in detail. The experiment results of a decimeter-scale carbon fiber composite laminate sample validate the developed scanning system.

Show Abstract
Among the X-ray phase contrast imaging (XPCI) techniques, both propagation-based and grating-based micro-tomography recently dominate the non-destructive three-dimensional inner-structure measurement in biomedical research, especially for visualizing tiny density variations in soft tissues and organs. In order to quantitatively evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of both techniques for comprehensive application through carrying out a comparison study of high energy propagation-based micro-tomography with generalized phase-and-attenuation duality (PAD) phase retrieval and Talbot grating interferometer-based micro-tomography, implemented with two biomedical specimens, mouse fetus and rat brain, on the basis of synchrotron radiation facility. We find that the grating-based micro-tomography is superior in the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) or the mass density resolution, and inferior in the spatial resolution (SR), compared with that of propagation-based micro-tomography. We found that for achieving a given CNR, the grating-based micro-tomography applies about 1.5 times radiation dose involved as compared to the propagation-based micro-tomography with PAD phase retrieval. Additionally, the complex coherent degrees of light source related to the both techniques were duly taken into account in the analysis of their SR comparison. Finally, the mass density distribution of soft biomedical specimens can be estimated using our presented method preliminarily. Our work gives indications for applications and developments of phase sensitive micro-tomography for soft biomedical specimens and low-Z materials.

Show Abstract
Grating-based x-ray phase contrast imaging has attracted significant attentions in the past years due to its capability in achieving x-ray phase contrast imaging with low brilliance source. The reverse projection (RP) method is a novel fast and low dose information extraction approach, which bases on the linear approximation of the shifting curve around its half-slope. However, when the refraction angle is beyond the linear range of the shifting curve, the extracted information is no longer credible. In this paper, we present an improved retrieval method by calculating an inverse function. Compared with the original retrieval method, our method does not rely on the first order approximation, and thus is suitable for large refraction angle. Theoretical derivations and numerical simulations are performed to confirm the accuracy of the method.

Show Abstract
Cryo soft X-ray tomography (Cryo-SXT) is a valuable tool for high-resolution three dimensional (3D) imaging of cells in near-native preservation state. Cryo-immobilization of cells based on rapid cryogenic freezing is crucial to obtain good imaging in Cryo-SXT. In order to acquire high contrast image of live cells, it need to prepare the specimen ice as thin as possible. However, as the thickness of the ice layer is further reduced, the live cells may be destroyed during the tilt series data collection of 3D imaging due to radiation. Thus, it is essential to seek out a proper thickness range of the ice layer to get high contrast image without radiation damage of cells. For further understanding the relationship between thickness of ice layer and degree of radiation damage, yeast cells with different thickness of ice layer were imaged using Cryo-SXT. Finally the ice layer with thickness about 10 μm was confirmed to be proper for good imaging.

Show Abstract
Energy dispersive x-ray diffraction (EDXRD) is a promising technique in security screening. The study focuses on the collimators optimization to achieve the highest system sensitivity under certain spatial and angular resolution requirements. The effects of system parameters on the resolution have been studied using an efficient and simple simulation method. The angular resolution requirements play the major limiting role when the length of the collimator is small, while the spatial resolution limit the sensitivity and the angular resolution requirements are automatically satisfied with the increasing of the collimator’s length. Several other suggestions on the EDXRD system designs are also proposed.

strong spectral selection, which resulted in the radiation temperature about 2200 K, with relative standard uncertainty
about 10%.

In the present study, phosphorescent imaging technique was developed to achieve simultaneous measurements of droplet size, speed and temperature of dispersed droplets in spray flow ejected from an air-blast nozzle. By using phosphorescent molecules as the tracers excited by an ultraviolet laser sheet for the quantitative flow measurements, the detected images of tagged phosphorescent molecules at two successive times determine the dynamic and thermodynamic behaviors of dispersed particles. A PTV based method was used to analyze the droplets size, trajectory and speed, and a lifetime based approach was used to measure the cross-correlated droplets temperature. The experimental results demonstrated phosphorescent imaging technique behaves the potential to widely used and well suited for spray measurement and droplet characterization.

Show Abstract
Illuminant is a porous media consisting of powder materials. The flame of illuminant seems
continuous, but in fact the flame is made up of a substantial number of burning particles, and the
burning particles determine the temperature distribution of the flame. In this paper, the distribution of
the burning particles was first studied using a high speed camera. Then a model of the temperature
field of illuminant flame was established based on the equation of heat conduction and the distribution
function of the burning particles. The temperature field of the illuminant flame was predicted by the
model and the highest temperature was measured using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer. The
model was validated by the experimental results using an infrared thermometer. The results indicate
that a good match has been achieved between the experimental data and the model predicted flame
temperature field of the illuminant based on the distribution of burning particles.

Objects with well-defined closed boundary can be discriminated by looking at the norm of gradients. With suitable resizing of their corresponding image windows into a small fixed size(8×8), and further binarized the normed gradients (BING) of images can describe the generic objectness measure. Inspired by the “BING” and considered the character that the artifical targets have many obvious corner points, in this paper we propose to predict candidate windows based on corner points instead of non-maximal suppression the BING used. We can generate a small set of high quality target windows and yield 96.2% object detection rate (DR) like the BING dose but need only half time. This is because of the number of corner point is much less than the number of non-maximal suppression point. Our method generate a small set of high quality target window.

Show Abstract
The inherent optical property is a significant bridge between the hyperspectral remote sensing data and water color and water quality parameters. Based on the water optical radiation transfer process and existing quasi-analytical algorithm (QAA), this study provides an improved algorithm, namely a linear spectral backscattering coefficient constraint quasianalytical algorithm (LSBCC-QAA), suitable for the retrieval of inherent optical properties for turbid inland waters to address the deficiency of the QAA on the retrieval of inherent optical properties for turbid inland waters. LSBCC-QAA uses the water-leaving reflectance of the bands between 1600 and 1700 nm to estimate the water surface reflectance of the bands between 400 and 900 nm and selects 700~850 nm as the reference wavelengths to estimate the water backscattering coefficients, taking full advantage of the continuity of the backscattering coefficient spectrum. The preliminary validated results show that the particle absorption coefficient, particle backscattering coefficient and phytoplankton absorption coefficient retrieved by LSBCC-QAA are more consistent with the actual situation than those retrieved by the common QAA_v6 algorithm or QAA-Turbid algorithm. Compared with the measured particle diffuse attenuation coefficient, the error of the LSBCC-QAA retrieved particle diffuse attenuation coefficient ranges from 16.0% to 22.9%, and the average error is 18.4%.

Show Abstract
Eccentric angle between IMU and the collimation axis of airborne sensor is one of main reasons causing geometric correction error. Currently, the application of the hyperspectral and LIDAR integrated system are greatly affected by lack of universal calibration methods which can calibrate the hyperspectral data and LiDAR data simultaneously. An eccentric angle calibration model for hyperspectral and LiDAR integrated system is proposed, meanwhile a self-calibration method using “#” shaped flight strip is designed to validate the new calibration model. Firstly, the homogeneous points are searched from all geometrically corrected flight strips by automatic matching methods. Secondly, control points obtained by averaging the coordinates of the homogeneous points are applied to solve the calibration model to get the eccentric angle. Finally, the point clouds are corrected geometrically with the solved eccentric angle, then the above steps are repeated until the solved eccentric angles are stable. An experiment was carried to testify the new calibration model and resolving method, which shows that the proposed model is of high-precision, validity and the resolving method is of fast convergence. The airborne sensors can acquire a plane precision of 0.807 m (about 1.2 pixels) without any ground control points, and the LiDAR can acquire a plane precision of 0.437 m and elevation precision of 0.15m.

Show Abstract
A space-borne differential optical absorption spectrometer is a high precision aerospace optical remote sensor. It obtains the hyper-spectral,high spatial resolution radiation information by using the spectrometer with CCD(Charge Coupled Device)array detectors. Since a few CCDs are used as the key detector, the performance of the entire instrument is greatly affected by working condition of CCDs. The temperature of CCD modules has a great impact on the instrument measurement accuracy. It requires strict temperature control. The selection of the thermal conductive filler sticking CCD to the radiator is important in the CCD thermal design. Besides,due tothe complex and compact structure, it needs to take into account the anti-pollution of the optical system. Therefore, it puts forward high requirements on the selection of the conductive filler. In this paper, according to the structure characteristics of the CCD modules and the distribution of heat consumption, the thermal analysis tool I-DEAS/TMG is utilized to compute and simulate the temperature level of the CCD modules, while filling in thermal grease and thermal pad respectively. The temperature distribution of CCD heat dissipation in typical operating conditions is obtained. In addition, the heat balance test was carried out under the condition of two kinds of thermal conductive fillers. The thermal control of CCD was tested under various conditions, and the results were compared with the results of thermal analysis. The results show that there are some differences in thermal performance between the two kinds of thermal conductive fillers. Although they both can meet the thermal performance requirements of the instrument, either would be chosen taking account of other conditions and requirements such as anti-pollution and insulation. The content and results of this paper will be a good reference for the thermal design of the CCD in the aerospace optical payload.

Show Abstract
The space-borne Environment Monitoring Instrument detects the Earth's surface radiation from ultraviolet to visible band, and it could be used to inverse the trace gas concentrations of target area. To obtain the 1b radiation data products, raw measurement data (level 0 data) should be corrected and modulated.

Show Abstract
The technique of the star image simulation is widely used to test star identification algorithms and the performance of
star sensor on the ground. A novel INS data based approach to ship-borne star map simulation is put forward in this
paper. The simulation procedure consists of three steps: Firstly, the exact speed and position of the ship in the
Conventional Inertial System(CIS) are calculated via the INS data; and then the ship attitude matrix is obtained.
Secondly, considering the azimuth angle and elevation angle of the star sensor, the accurate positions of the selected

the star image precisely and actually, the image smear has been considered. Based on the proposed star image simulation
approach, the effects of image smear on star sensor recognition capability have been analyzed in different exposure time.

Show Abstract
Conventional wavelength modulation spectroscopy is improved by logarithmic-transformed data
processing for trace gas sensing. Via the logarithmic-transformation, the optic intensity modulation is
isolated from the gas absorption induced laser power attenuation, and then the optic intensity modulation is
offset by its equivalent which is obtained from a referenced beam. The method is validated by the detection
of P(6) NH3-absorption line in a stainless tube with effective path length of 24.5 cm, under room
temperature (296 K) and atmospheric pressure (1.01e5 Pa). The second harmonic is recovered while the
residual amplitude modulation and distortion of curve are eliminated. A 0.7 ppm (part per million)
detection limit is inferred on the assumption that the signal is equal with the noise.

Show Abstract
The Day Night Band (DNB), mounted on the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on board the
Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP), has the unique ability to image cloud and surface features with
reflected moonlight and nonlunar nighttime illumination sources. However, the radiometric calibration is too
difficult to be calculated directly at night due to extremely low radiance. The Dome C in Antarctic and Railroad
Valley Playa in Nevada are utilized to calibrate the DNB High Gain Stage (HGS) at night due to their invariable
surface properties. The mean value of the relative errors based on Dome C site is -7.41% and RVP is -4.14%. The
results suggest that there is an average bias in the DNB HGS on-orbit calibration and an unobvious trend exists due
to the changing relative spectral responses over time.

Show Abstract
In order to filter out the noise points of the medical spine model effectively
and keep the details of the model better, a model-based denoising adaptive diffusion
method based on multi-scale bilateral filter is proposed. This method firstly extracts
the contour lines of the 3D model of the spine by using bilateral filter in multi-scale
conditions, and then designs and improves the adaptive diffusion coefficient so as to
optimize and control the whole diffusion process. Then, according to the discreteness
of the image, the corresponding discrete iterative equations are established to
discretize the iterative process, and the iteration stopping criterion is designed to make
the denoising and smoothing image model stop the iteration when the correlation
between that image model and the noise is the minimum, and finally to establish the
spine image denoising model. After compared with the experimental results of the
classical PM method, Catte method and other methods, this method achieves good
filtering effect in denoising, and also preserves the edge detail features of medical
image, much better than traditional filtering algorithm.

Show Abstract
During traditional multi-resolution infrared and visible image fusion processing, the low contrast ratio target may be weakened and become inconspicuous because of the opposite DN values in the source images. So a novel target pseudo-color enhanced image fusion algorithm based on the modified attention model and fast discrete curvelet transformation is proposed. The interesting target regions are extracted from source images by introducing the motion features gained from the modified attention model, and source images are performed the gray fusion via the rules based on physical characteristics of sensors in curvelet domain. The final fusion image is obtained by mapping extracted targets into the gray result with the proper pseudo-color instead. The experiments show that the algorithm can highlight dim targets effectively and improve SNR of fusion image.

Show Abstract
Backscatter visibility lidar has been installed at Yuyang (UYN) airport for precise measurements of visibility. The present study conducted the first experiments to compare visibility results of different measurement instruments involving backscatter visibility lidar. The present study introduced the system structure of the backscatter visibility lidar, and then compared the visibility data under different weather conditions viz., haze-fog, snow, dust and rain. The results of the backscatter visibility lidar are superior to the forward scatter meter in all kinds of weather conditions. The measurement results of the backscatter type visibility meter had little deviation from the transmissometer and the manual visual measurement under haze-fog weather. Under the rain and dust weather conditions, the deviation of the results measured by backscatter visibility lidar were larger than transmissometer and the manual observed, but the deviation was still less than the forward scatter visibility meter. The result should be confirmed by more experiments under different weather conditions.

Show Abstract
Human visual system (HVS) can detect the target utilizing the contrast of the target and the surrounding background
under a low SNR, it is not only sensitive to the local contrast in space domain, but also in time domain. The existing
infrared small target detection methods based on HVS are mainly based on the local contrast in space domain, while the
false alarm caused by the background clutter could be serious. In consideration of this problem, an infrared small target
detection method based on visual spatio-temporal contrast measure (STLCM) is proposed. At the first stage, a temporal
local contrast measure (TLCM) was presented. At the second stage, visual spatio-temporal contrast measure was derived
by the fusion of the local contrast in time and space domain, then an adaptive threshold was adopted in the saliency map
of STLCM to segment the target. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is superior in compressing
the false alarm and efficient in different conditions.

Show Abstract
Photometric measurement is an important way to identify the space debris, but the present methods of photometric
measurement have many constraints on star image and need complex image processing. Aiming at the problems, a
statistical learning modeling method for space debris photometric measurement is proposed based on the global
consistency of the star image, and the statistical information of star images is used to eliminate the measurement noises.
First, the known stars on the star image are divided into training stars and testing stars. Then, the training stars are
selected as the least squares fitting parameters to construct the photometric measurement model, and the testing stars are
used to calculate the measurement accuracy of the photometric measurement model. Experimental results show that, the
accuracy of the proposed photometric measurement model is about 0.1 magnitudes.

Show Abstract
In the infrared small target detection system, CFAR (Constant False Alarm Rate) is a commonly used technology, but in the traditional single frame detection method, detection rate is requested to be improved while the false alarm rate is increasing. This paper proposes a threshold attenuation CFAR detection method based on Gauss distribution. After the preprocessing of infrared images, we came into the designing of CFAR detector based on Gauss distribution. According to the previous frame target location and attenuation of local threshold, the detection rate of the target neighbourhood can be improved to obtain the current target location. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively control the threshold, and under the precondition that the background clutter was suppressed by the global low false alarm rate, it can improve the local detection rate and reduce the probability of target loss.

Show Abstract
In the field of deep space science detection and high resolution earth observation, a relatively high motion velocity is often generated between the optical camera and the imaging target. Images obtained during the exposure time can produce image motion blur, which becomes one of the main obstacles to acquire high resolution image near the target. As an extended task of the third phase of China’s lunar exploration program, flight imaging of the planned sampling area of Chang’e-5 was carried out. A dual resolution camera with a wide field of view (FOV) camera and a narrow FOV camera was used for imaging mission. High flying speed causes the generation of large motion blurred images captured by the narrow FOV camera and the motion blur can be up to around 30 pixels. To deal with this problem, we analyzed the image features of the blurred images captured by the narrow FOV camera, and proposed a corresponding method that can estimate image motion value from the blurred lunar image based on small craters detection scheme and then adopted the regularization method to restore the image. The algorithm is applied in the batch processing of the real blurred lunar images and has achieved a significant restored effect.

Show Abstract
An imaging system’s spatial quality can be expressed by the system’s modulation spread function (MTF) as a function of
spatial frequency in terms of the linear response theory. Methods have been proposed to assess the MTF of an imaging
system using point, slit or edge techniques. The edge method is widely used for the low requirement of targets. However,
the traditional edge methods are limited by the edge angle. Besides, image noise will impair the measurement accuracy,
making the measurement result unstable. In this paper, a novel measurement method based on the support vector
machine (SVM) is proposed. Image patches with different edge angles and MTF levels are generated as the training set.
Parameters related with MTF and image structure are extracted from the edge images. Trained with image parameters
and the corresponding MTF, the SVM classifier can assess the MTF of any edge image. The result shows that the
proposed method has an excellent performance on measuring accuracy and stability.

A new method for the determination of the degree of freedom of the hexapod mount based on screw theory has been
proposed. The method is applied to the mobility analysis of the four configurations of the hexapod mount, say the 3-3

Show Abstract
Aiming at the simultaneous measurement of the size, shape, fall velocity of precipitation particles, a ground-based
optical instrument, the precipitation micro-physical characteristics sensor (PMCS) was developed, it can record the
double-exposure image of each particle in a single frame, by which the size, equivalent diameter, axis ratio of raindrops
can be calculated, its fall velocity can be calculated according to its displacement and time interval. The PMCS is
calibrated by some glass balls with certain diameters in sunny, cloudy, and night conditions, based on which a fitted
relationship between the threshold and image area is obtained and used to ensure the measurement accuracy of raindrop
sizes. The field measurement of PMCS has obtained plenty of raindrops images, based on which the shape, axis ratio,
and fall velocity of raindrops were calculated and discussed. The typical shape of large raindrop takes on an oblate
ellipsoid with a flatter base and a more raised top, the axis ratio of raindrops decrease linearly with the increasing of
diameter, the fall velocity of raindrops increases exponentially with the increasing of the diameter, and above observed
data are in good agreement with the empirical model. These results validate the performance of PMCS, which can be
widely applied for interpreting weather radar data, investigating regional precipitation features, and studying the physical
process of precipitation.

Show Abstract
As a novel and ultrasensitive detection technology that had advantages of fingerprint effect, high speed and
low cost, surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) was used to develop the regression models for the fast quantitative
detection of thiram by support vector machine regression (SVR) in the paper. Meanwhile, three parameter optimization
methods, which were grid search (GS), genetic algorithm (GA) and particle swarm optimization (PSO), were employed
to optimize the internal parameters of SVR. Furthermore, the influence of the spectral number, spectral wavenumber
range and principal component analysis (PCA) on the quantitative detection was also discussed. Firstly, the experiments
demonstrate the proposed method can realize the fast and quantitative detection of thiram, and the best result is obtained
by GS-SVR with the spectra of the range of characteristic peak which are processed by PCA. And the effect of GS, GA,
PSO on the parameter optimization is similar, but the analysis time has a great difference in which GS is the fastest.
Considering the analysis accuracy and time simultaneously, the spectral number of samples over each concentration
should be set to 50. Then, developing the quantitative model with the spectra of range of characteristic peak can reduce
analysis time on the promise of ensuring the detection accuracy. Additionally, PCA can further reduce the detection error
through reserving the main information of the spectra data and eliminating the noise.

Show Abstract
In order to detect the dim small target in high frame rate image sequences,an optimized temporal processing technique is
investigated. Based on the temporal profile models for noise pixel,target pixel and clutter pixel, we formulate the
detection in two steps, pre-processed by Max-median filter and temporal variance filter(TVF). In pre-processing step,
three spatial-filtering methods are compared. In temporal profile analysis step, the length of time windows for calculating
the mean and variance values are chosen after statistical analysis. Finally, six targets embedded into a scene which
contains different types of clouds, and set the adjacent scene to one pixel jitter in any random direction. The simulation
results show that we can obtain a relative high signal-to-clutter gain in different regions, which satisfies the requirement
of target detection algorithm in high frame rate detection system.

Show Abstract
Infrared image quality is a key factor of object detection. Stripe nonuniformity is very typical in the staring infrared focal plane array (IRFPA). In this paper, we propose a novel high-space-frequency correction method to eliminate the stripe nonuniformity. The kernel ideal is to eliminate the high-space-frequency part of stripe nonuniformity and retain its low-space-frequency part which can reduce unwanted ghosting artifacts. Firstly, the spatial characteristic of stripe nonuniformity is discussed, then correction parameters are computed based on the spatial high frequency part of image. Experimental results show the proposed mehtod can compute adaptive correction parameters of each readout channel and obtain a reliable stripe nonuniformity reduction.

Show Abstract
In order to improve the communication efficiency and security of Quantum Secure Direct Communication, a new Quantum Secure Direct Communication scheme based on d-dimension Bell entangled state is proposed. In the scheme, the receiver and the sender transport the d-dimensional Bell particles as secure test particles to ensure the security of communication. The receiver can calculate the security of the channel according to the measurement of d-dimensional Bell state particles, which is based on the entanglement properties of the d-dimensional Bell state. Secret information is transmitted through the other d-dimensional Bell state particles by dense coding technique. Then, the receiver can determine the security of the channel by comparing the measurements of the particles and makes a joint measurement of the transmitted particles to obtain secret information. Finally, the entropy theory is used to analyze the security of the protocol. Under the four dimensional Bell state, the transmission efficiency of the protocol is 90.90% and the efficiency of the quantum bit is 45.45%. The results show that the proposed scheme is safe and reliable and has high transmission efficiency.

Show Abstract
A combined method using 2D pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution (2D-PWVD) and structural similarity(SSIM) index is proposed for fusion of low resolution multi-spectral (MS) image and high resolution panchromatic (PAN) image. First, the intensity component of multi-spectral image is extracted with generalized IHS transform. Then, the spectrum diagrams of the intensity components of multi-spectral image and panchromatic image are obtained with 2D-PWVD. Different fusion rules are designed for different frequency information of the spectrum diagrams. SSIM index is used to evaluate the high frequency information of the spectrum diagrams for assigning the weights in the fusion processing adaptively. After the new spectrum diagram is achieved according to the fusion rule, the final fusion image can be obtained by inverse 2D-PWVD and inverse GIHS transform. Experimental results show that, the proposed method can obtain high quality fusion images.

We investigate a photonic crystal fiber (PCF) which consists of squeezed triangle lattice and elliptical air holes. Birefringence and dispersion properties of this PCF have been numerically estimated by the supercell lattice method. Numerical results show that the birefringence is on the order of 10-2 over ultrabroad wavelength rang from1.3μm to 1.7μm and birefringence can be reached 1.71×10-2 at the operating wavelength of 1.55μm. It is also demonstrated that two near-zero dispersion of -1.75(ps/nm/km) (x-polarized mode) and-0.33(ps/nm/km) (y-polarized mode) at 1.55μm can be achieved. Morever, the fluctuations of the dispersion with fiber parameters are very small. The simulation results show that our proposed PCF are robust to fabrication imperfections.

Show Abstract
An electronic image stabilization method compounded with inertia information, which can compensate the coupling interference caused by the pitch-yaw movement of the optical stable platform system, has been proposed in this paper. Firstly the mechanisms of coning rotation and lever-arm translation of line of sight (LOS) are analyzed during the stabilization process under moving carriers, and the mathematical model which describes the relationship between LOS rotation angle and platform attitude angle are derived. Then the image spin angle caused by coning rotation is estimated by using inertia information. Furthermore, an adaptive block matching method, which based on image edge and angular point, is proposed to smooth the jitter created by the lever-arm translation. This method optimizes the matching process and strategies. Finally, the results of hardware-in-the-loop simulation verified the effectiveness and real-time performance of the proposed method.

Show Abstract
The circular-polarized laser can excite Sodium Laser Guide Star (SLGS) to obtain a large number of the return photons. Re-pumping technology can further enhance the return photon flux of SLGS. But laser propagating in the atmosphere suffers the atmospheric turbulence which causes the stochastic distributions of laser intensity in mesosphere. This leads to the fluctuations of return photon flux as the strength of atmospheric turbulence. We study effects of atmospheric turbulence on the return photon flux of SLGS under the Hufnagle-vally5/7(HV5/7), Greenwood and Mod-HV models by numerical simulation. Results show that both the return photon flux and fluctuations under the strong atmospheric turbulence are more than those under the weak one. Comparing re-pumping with no re-pumping, increment of the return photon flux under the three atmospheric turbulence models increase with the decreasing strength of atmospheric turbulence. But the fluctuations of the return photon flux greatly decrease for re-pumping.

Show Abstract
Conventional scanning method for photoelectric devices is slow and ineffective, especially in large scale applications. Motivated by the fact that the failed or defected components are sparse, this paper proposed a fast scanning method utilizing compressive sensing. The proposed method measures the total output of the sample device under pattern controlled structured light beams. With a few numbers of photo-electric current measurements, the defected components are located in the compressive sensing manner. The concept of propose method and the detection probabilities of the proposed method are evaluated. Simulation results indicating that the sparse defects can be compressively located using a few measurements, and the detection speed can be accelerated by 10 times when the ratio of defects is less than 1.5%; this detection probability is sufficient for real application. The additional advantages of proposed detection system are that no mechanical movement component is required, and the testing for each single cell is no longer required, since the system measures the total output of the whole panel. This feature brings great benefits to the applications for testing the devices that have been assembled or installed.

The zero initial optical path difference, the integral optical path layout and the polarization interference technique are adopted to design quadruplicated polarized laser interferometer measuring system. The factors and design requirements which affect high-precision interferometer are analyzed. In order to reduce DC offset error, unequal amplitude error and non-orthogonal error, four orthogonal measuring signals are processed by a series of circuits with differential amplification and orthogonalization functions, and the two ideal orthogonal measuring signals are obtained. Beyond the VC++ environment, combined with the 200 phase subdivision, the resolution of 0.8 nm can be achieved.

Show Abstract
Large aspheric mirrors with diameter over 200 mm are widely used in space communication system, large-scale astronomical telescope and X-ray facilities. However the measurement of these mirrors with large slope is a long-term problem. Scanning deflectometry method using autocollimator with rotary stage was proposed for measuring mirrors with large slope. The repeatability of the method has been confirmed as tens of nanometers. However, the absolute accuracy of the method is not confirmed since the distance between the rotation center of the rotary stage and the mirror under measurement is difficult to measure, which strongly affects the measurement accuracy of scanning deflectometry method. In this paper, we have proposed a triangulation method with CMOS sensor for measuring the distance from the rotation center to the measurement table (marble surface). The error analysis shows that the measurement uncertainty of this measurement method is about 40 microns. The repeated experiments show that the measurement accuracy of the proposed method is 49.7 microns, which meets the requirements of large mirror measurement with tens of nanometers’ uncertainty. This method also provides a new solution for the position measurement of the rotation center of the large scale rotary device.

Finally, the approaches used for foot-parameterextracting and the system scheme are presented in detail. Experimental results show that the RMS error of the calibration result is 0.03 pixel and the foot parameter extracting experiment shows the feasibility of the extracting algorithm. Compared with the traditional measurement method, the system can be more portable, accurate and robust.
Expanding the bandwidth of low level photo-electric amplifier using continuous equal-potential shielding

Show Abstract
For the low level current preamplifier circuits in photo-electric detection, the bandwidth and the low noise characteristics are usually contradictory, because the bandwidth is limited by the high value resistor and its inevitable parasitic capacitances, which together exhibit low-pass characteristics. To expand the bandwidth of low level current amplifier, a novel method is proposed by using continuous equal-potential shielding to eliminate the parasitic capacitances and expand the bandwidth. The shielded resistor contains three layers: the center is high value resistance strip; the top and bottom layers are high conductivity shielding films with same path to center strip. The surrounding electric field energy could be provided by shielding structure instead by high value resistor itself, so the parasitic capacitances would be greatly reduced. In this paper, the principle and the structure of the equal potential shielding are presented, and the possible results are predicted by finite element simulation. The simulation was conducted by the ultra-low current preamplifier with a trans-impedance gain of 50 GΩ. The results indicated that the parasitic capacitances reduced from 1.36×10-2pF to 1.18×10-3pF, meanwhile the bandwidth was expanded from 234.1 Hz to 2.43 kHz with more than 10 times of increase; the rise time decreased from 1.53ms to 0.085ms. The advantage of this method is that the bandwidth could be expanded without extra compensation; meanwhile the shielding layers improve the noise immunity. This method is suitable for the demand of rapid response to low level current in photo-electric detection field, such as scanning tunneling microscopy and laser radar.

Show Abstract
Abstract—This paper describes a MEMS-based tunable Fabry-Perot filter that can be directly integrated on a detector. The Fabry-Perot filter consists of two parallel mirrors and lets the light with particular wavelength pass through. The wavelength depends on the gap between the mirrors. The gap of the micromechanical Fabry-Perot filter can be changed by applying a voltage to the mirrors, an electrostatic force inducing an attraction between the substrate and the top mirror. Based on the comprehensive analysis of the working principle of the micro F-P cavity filter, the optimum tuning scheme of micro F-P cavity filter is established. A simulation of the mechanical behavior was performed based on finite elements, using ANSYS software. We finally establish the L-arm type cantilever to support cavity structure, the micro-bridge can achieve a considerable range of tuning; relatively high fill factor, filter light leakage is avoided; the high abilityto keep parallel can achieve high precision filtering effect; structural stability, it can resist the residual stress of manufacture. This MEMS F-P tunable filter can be a potential application in spectroscopic sensing and optical communication system.

Show Abstract
The coherent noise degrades the imaging quality and resolution in digital holographic interferometry. A method to reduce coherent noise by the way of slightly rotating object is proposed. Firstly, a series of digital holograms with different coherent noise patterns were recorded by slightly rotating object. Secondly, the different holograms were reconstructed individually, and the differences between the reconstructed complex amplitudes due to the rotation of the object were removed by using phase compensation and image registration algorithms. Thus, multiple identical retrieved images of object with different coherent noise distributions were obtained. Finally, the coherent noise was reduced by a proper averaging process for amplitude and phase images. Moreover, Non-correlation between two speckle patterns can be achieved by rotating very small angle proven by means of computing the correlation between the circle speckle spots. The experimental results and evaluations are given to confirm the proposed method.

Show Abstract
A new model that can simultaneously do blind restoration and segmentation task is proposed in the paper. The new model belongs to the variant of Mumford Shah model. In order to promote the computational efficiency, the restoration part and segmentation part are decoupled from the original model. The blind image restoration part is based on the variable exponent regularizer to accurately estimate both piecewise constant point spread functions and smooth point spread functions. The segmentation part is the explicit edge indicator function obtained from the original model. The new model can be efficiently solved using split bregman framework.

Show Abstract
To improve the preprocessing speed of star map and reduce the resource consumption of embedded system of star tracker, a parallel pipeline real-time preprocessing algorithm is presented. The two characteristics, the mean and the noise standard deviation of the background gray of a star map, are firstly obtained dynamically by the means that the intervene of the star image itself to the background is removed in advance. The criterion on whether or not the following noise filtering is needed is established, then the extraction threshold value is assigned according to the level of background noise, so that the centroiding accuracy is guaranteed. In the processing algorithm, as low as two lines of pixel data are buffered, and only 100 shift registers are used to record the connected domain label, by which the problems of resources wasting and connected domain overflow are solved. The simulating results show that the necessary data of the selected bright stars could be immediately accessed in a delay time as short as 10us after the pipeline processing of a 496×496 star map in 50Mb/s is finished, and the needed memory and registers resource total less than 80kb. To verify the accuracy performance of the algorithm proposed, different levels of background noise are added to the processed ideal star map, and the statistic centroiding error is smaller than 1/23 pixel under the condition that the signal to noise ratio is greater than 1. The parallel pipeline algorithm of real time star map preprocessing helps to increase the data output speed and the anti-dynamic performance of star tracker.

Detection of thermal infrared oil tank targets based on SVM classification
Author(s):
Lan Ma;
Xiaoyong Chen
Show Abstract
In this paper, a method for selecting and testing the features of thermal infrared (TIR) remote sensing images of oil tank targets is proposed to address deficiencies in the recognition of TIR images due to their characteristic low contrast, striping noise, and low spatial resolution. An evaluator was used to select 22 out of 29 features including texture and geometry, and training was conducted for samples with respect to these features through the libSVM (a support vector machine). This could lead to an effective detection of quasi-circular oil tank targets with a certain degree of robustness. The one-dimensional statistical features (pixel value, mean value, variance, mid-value, and gray level histogram), LBP features, EOH features and invariant moment features are more meaningful for the recognition of TIR remote sensing images of oil tank targets; the proper selection of training samples of oil tank with background is quite important for the effectiveness of detection; difference in detection windows can also influence the effect of detection. A method for selecting and testing the features of oil tank targets in TIR remote sensing images is proposed for effective classification of such targets under certain conditions.

Show Abstract
In the field of target recognition, target detection and tracking can be achieved by measuring the temperature of it. At present, most of the temperature measurement technologies are used for surface targets. Dim small targets are often faced with several problems during temperature measurement, such as the low filling rate of field, unknown emissivity and serious noise interference. Referring to the current issues about dim small targets temperature measurement, this paper built a new model for dual-waveband thermometry of them based on the wavelet analysis theory and neural network theory, obtaining the dual-waveband thermometry results of the dim small targets which are very close to the theoretical temperature. What’s more, the model validation is carried out by using the measured data of dim small targets. Analysis results show that the new model is more suitable to measure the dim small targets temperature of the radiation intensity signal-to-noise ratio within the scope of 3-8, laying the theoretical foundation and technical foundation for the recognition of dim small targets.

Show Abstract
Integrating microgrid polarimeters on focal plane array (FPA) of an infrared detector causes non-uniformity of polarization response. In order to reduce the effect of polarization non-uniformity, this paper constructs an experimental setup for capturing raw flat-field images and proposes a procedure for acquiring non-uniform calibration (NUC) matrix and calibrating raw polarization images. The proposed procedure takes the incident radiation as a polarization vector and offers a calibration matrix for each pixel. Both our matrix calibration and two-point calibration are applied to our mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) polarization imaging system with integrated microgrid polarimeters. Compared with two point calibration, our matrix calibration reduces non-uniformity by 30~40% under condition of flat-field data test with polarization. The ourdoor scene observation experiment indicates that our calibration can effectively reduce polarization non-uniformity and improve the image quality of our MWIR polarization imaging system.

Show Abstract
The polarization characteristics of the metal wire-grid polarizer are investigated by Finite Difference Time Domain method. To achieve a high extinction ratio and transmissivity in visible light, the metal wire-grid profile was optimized. The simulation results show that the period should be less than 200 nm. When the period, the glass substrate etching depth and the Al groove depth of metal wire-grid were at 180nm, 20nm and 120nm respectively, the extinction ratio could reach the maximum 40 dB; the transmissivity could reach the maximum 85%. Herein, considering the high reflection of metal aluminum in the manufacturing process, we propose using the copper as anti-reflection coating. Finally, a prototype of the metal wire-grid polarizer has been fabricated by holographic-immersion lithography and ion beam etching.

Show Abstract
Vacuum technology is extensively used in space science, nuclear energy, surface science, materials science, electric vacuum industry, microelectronics, semiconductor, metallurgy, and so on. More and more fields need ultra high vacuum (UHV) or extreme high vacuum (XHV) for scientific research and production. Both the rigorous vacuum processing technics and highly developed sophisticated vacuum technology are the necessities for the acquisition and conservation of UHV or XHV ambience. In this paper, a vacuum decline was analyzed and the UHV system was recovered. Using the residual gas analyzer to measure the partial pressure of residual gas and identify the type of gas, the outgassing source was found out by comparing the measure results. The UHV system was recovered back to 10-9Pa through treatment. The residual gas analyzing method can effectively identify the type of gas about outgassing, narrow the scope of outgassing subassembly, shorten the vacuum system recovery time, and improve work efficiency. The method of determining the outgassing source by residual gas analyzer can be applied in the fields of UHV and XHV, and it has a certain reference significance for further improving the system vacuum degree.

Show Abstract
Although sparse representation based classification (SRC) has gained great success, doubts on the necessity of sparse constraint come in recent years. And collaborative representation based classification (CRC) has attracted much attention from researchers in fields of signal processing, image processing and pattern recognition. In this paper, an algorithm called collaborative dictionary learning with structured incoherence (CDLSI) is proposed for collaborative representation based detection (CRD), which can be viewed as a binary classification problem, in hyperspectral imagery (HSI). An inter-class incoherence term is added to make sub-dictionaries to be as independent as possible. During the optimizing procedure, sub-dictionaries are updated atoms-by-atoms with metaface method. Specifically, considering the non-sparse representation of CRC, the coefficients are iteratively optimized with l2 -norm regularization during the coding procedure in CDLSI. Once the sub-dictionaries are obtained, the collaborative representation based technique is then used for detection. The proposed algorithm is applied to several real hyperspectral images for detection. Experimental results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach, and prove the superiority to the traditional algorithms.

Show Abstract
The electronic structure and optical properties of pure and P-doped cubic-blende gallium arsenide (GaAs) for different P constants (x=0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.375) have been studied by the first-principles projected augmented plane potential approach based on the density functional theory and the generalized gradient approximation method. It shows that the P-doped material has a smaller lattice constant, which resulted in a local lattice distortion. The minimum of the conduction band moves to high energy level and the band gaps gradually become wide with gradual increase concentration of P impurity. The dielectric function are calculated based on Kramers-Kroning relations. The optical property studied from the calculated absorption coefficients shows that the adsorption peaks change obviously in the visible light wavelength area for the P-doped GaAs system.

Show Abstract
It is very critical that make full use of the local information for infrared dim and small target tracking. In this paper, an effective and fast algorithm based on the context learning is proposed to track infrared dim moving target. Firstly, the principle of the spatio-temporal context learning algorithm is described and the tracking deviation is analyzed. Then, a correlation filter is utilized to get a rational context prior for the dim moving target, the advantage is that the prior considers the image intensity information between a target and its surround pixels. Furthermore, a Gaussian high-pass filter is introduced to extract an accurate spatial context, which has little influence caused by the cluttered background. At last, the tracking problem is posed by computing a confidence map which takes into account sufficient information of a dim target and its surround background. Since the proposed algorithm is realized using fast Fourier transform, it is easy to be real-time. The experiments on various clutter background sequences have validated the tracking capability of the proposed method. The experimental results show that the proposed method can provide a higher accuracy and speed than several classical algorithms, including the improved Template Matching algorithm, the Temporal-Spatial Fusion Filtering algorithm and the Moving Pipeline Filtering algorithm.

Show Abstract
This paper develops a promising low-priced optical fiber arcing detection system for measuring pantograph-catenary contact-loss. The system collects the ultraviolet light by UV lens. The filter cuts off visible light to reducing environmental disturbance. Ultraviolet light of arcing is transformed to visible one by fluorescent material, which is packaged on the fiber endface and has a high transforming efficiency in ultraviolet band. This optical fiber arcing detection system is equipped with self-checking pulsed light to monitoring the status of the detection system. The arcing energy is estimated by the relationship between the intensity of ultraviolet light and the output voltage signal.

Show Abstract
With high precision and sensitivity, quantum gyroscope has become a research hotspot of inertial technology in recent years. Because the Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) in atomic gas has more condensate atoms, atomic gas is pure and thin, and there is no friction in atoms, the matter–wave gyroscopy with counter-rotating vortex superpositions has great potential of higher sensitivity, higher precision, and miniaturization. The basic mechanism and sensitivity of the matter– wave gyroscopy with counter-rotating vortex superpositions were analyzed, and the interaction between superposition of vortex beams and BEC atomic gases were studied, it is Stimulated Raman Adiabatic Passage (STIRAP). In the study, the outstanding issue that the gyroscopy is difficult to obtain stable vortices with high order orbital angular momentum was clarified by theoretical derivation on the base of Gross-Pitaevskii equation which is the basic equation in BEC. For solving the above problems, the scheme which is easy to achieve based on Sombrero potential trap was proposed.

Show Abstract
Vortex beam rotational Doppler effect has been verified by experiments. But its mechanism interpretation is still being studied. Firstly, this paper introduces the vortex beam and its rotational Doppler effect, and then explains vortex beam rotational Doppler effect based on the Doppler effect and Sagnac effect. In 2014, professor Miles Padett proposed that the classical Doppler effect can be used to explain vortex beam rotational Doppler effect. This thesis gives its complete process by utilizing resolution of vectors on the spiral wave fronts. Based on the Sagnac effect, this paper uses the principle of independently propagating to deduce the formula of the superimposed vortex beam rotational Doppler effect. The mechanism derivation results agrees with the experimental results, which proves the accuracy and advantage of the mechanism derivation methods in this article. Moreover, this thesis also discovers the high order correction terms of the formula.

Show Abstract
The Nb-doped VO2 thin films were successfully prepared on the glass substrates by ion beam co-sputtering at room temperature and post annealing under the air condition. The effects of the preparation processing and Nb doping on the thermal hysteresis loop and phase transition temperature of the VO2 thin films were analyzed by resistancetemperature measurement. The results show that Nb doping significantly changes the surface morphologies of VO2 thin films, and Nb-doped VO2 thin films exhibit VO2(002) preferred orientation growth with greatly improved crystallinity and orientation. Compared with pure VO2, the phase transition temperature of Nb-doped VO2 thin films drops to 40 ºC, and the width of thermal hysteresis loop narrows to 8 ºC. It is demonstrated that Nb-doped VO2 thin films prepared by ion beam co-sputtered at room temperature have an obvious thermal sensitive effect, and keep a good characteristic from metal to semiconductor phase transition.

Show Abstract
Attenuation coefficient of seawater channel is not only related to the wavelength of optical, but also attenuation particle distribution, so the energy attenuation coefficient of the optical actual transmission changes with the attenuation particle distribution in the seawater, yet in the current underwater optical transmission simulation study, mostly adopts the method of selecting wavelength to determine the attenuation coefficient. Based on the existing of the Monte Carlo method, using the inverse function of modified Henyey Greenstein function to determine the optical scattering angle, and using photons weight change law to determine the photon annihilation. Respectively in the condition of a fixed seawater attenuation coefficient and attenuation coefficient changing with depth, this paper dynamically simulated the underwater optical slant path transmission of power attenuation and bit error rate, and analyzed the influence of the photons movement in power attenuation and bit error rate.

Show Abstract
To solve the satellite repeater’s flexible and wide-band frequency conversion problem, two novel microwave photonic repeater schemes of generating four and eight different output RF frequencies from one input RF carrier are proposed by adjusting the dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder Modulator’s(DPMZM) electrical configurations. Both schemes can realize simultaneous inter- and intra-band frequency conversion in one single structure and need only one onboard frequency-fixed microwave source. In the first scheme, one C-band RF signal’s 6 GHz carrier can be successfully converted to 2GHz, 4GHz, 16GHz and 22GHz, while the other scheme demonstrates the frequency conversion from 16GHz to eight different frequencies(6GHz, 26GHz, 22GHz, 42GHz, 4GHz, 36GHz, 12GHz and 52GHz).

Show Abstract
A water-cooled unimorph deformable mirror (DM) is proposed for high-power laser applications. The piezoelectric actuators are distributed around the correction area on the front side of the DM. The cooling water flows through the back side of the DM. This design realizes the physical separation between the electrical connections and cooling medium. It is important to optimize the structure of the designed water-cooled DM. First, a model of the DM was established using finite element method (FEM) to predict the deformation behavior of single actuator and the reconstruction of the DM. Then the comparison analysis of different apertures, radii and thicknesses were performed for structure optimization. The simulation results indicate that: The reconstructing precision of the DM is better than 98% for the typical low-order aberrations with relative large amplitude under the voltage range from -50V to +50V, which is suitable for high-power laser beam shaping.

Show Abstract
In recent years, the integrated space-ground network communication system plays an increasingly important role in earth observation and space information confrontation for the civilian and military service. Their characteristic on wide coverage, which may be the only way to provide Internet access and communication services in many areas, has extensively promoted its significance. This paper discusses the architecture of integrated space-ground communication networks, and introduces a novel routing algorithm named Improved Store-and-forward Routing Mechanism (ISRM) to shorten the transmission delay in such a network. The proposed ISRM algorithm is based on store and forward mechanism, while it trying to find several alternative delay-constraint paths by building the route-related nodes encounter-probability information table and communication timing diagram. Simulation is conducted at the end, and comparisons between ISRM and baseline algorithm are given. The results show that ISRM can achieve relatively good performance in terms of transmission latency in integrated space-ground networks.

Optical response and pulse shaped modulation of high power light emitting diodes
Author(s):
Zhujun Jia
Show Abstract
While light emitting diodes (LEDs) are used for general illumination, they are expected to find application in optical data transmission due to their fast optical response. In the present work, the optical response of the high power LEDs (3W) was examined in 4MHz pulse modulation. An optical pulse shaping strategy was devised by the stepped pulse drive with an overvoltage carrier injection and a proper extraction respectively in the pulse rising and falling time. The pulse driving and shaping circuit for the high power LED modulation was developed based on this strategy. The modulation bandwidth limitation was discussed in terms of the resistor-capacitor (RC) equivalent circuit. The light field of the LED chip surface under the injection-extraction pulse drive was observed to present different brightness around the electrode, resolving the carrier distribution in the transportation time. In disagreement with the RC explanation, the result shows that the optical response speed and bandwidth are limited by the lateral drift distance of the carriers between the electrode strips, especially for the high power LED with large chip size.
