One-shot surface profile measurement using polarized phase-shifting
Yuan-Fang Chen, Yi-liang Du
An instantaneous polarized phase-shifting interferometer (IPSI) with an optical image combiner is designed to form a one-shot surface profile measurement system. The interference images are captured simultaneously by using one CCD camera. Digital image correlation (DIC) method is applied effectively to correct the position mismatch among the images. Test of the measurement system on flat mirror, tilted mirror and wafer are given. An average error between 0.07μm~0.09μm can be achieved, and the maximum error is about 0.2μm.
One-shot 3D shape and color measurement using composite RGB fringe projection and optimum three-frequency selection
Zonghua Zhang, Sixiang Zhang
A composite RGB fringe projection and processing method is presented to simultaneously obtain 3D shape and color information of objects from one-shot acquisition. Three fringe sets with optimum fringe numbers are coded into the red, green and blue channels of a digital light projector to generate one composite RGB fringe pattern. The deformed fringes on an object surface are recorded by a three-chip color CCD camera from a different viewpoint. Fourier transform analysis is applied to the obtained fringe patterns in each color channel to retrieve the wrapped phase maps. Absolute phase across the full-field is calculated from the three obtained wrapped phase maps on a pixel-by-pixel basis using the optimum three-frequency method. Color data are also extracted from the same composite RGB fringe pattern image, so there is an exact one-to-one correspondence between the absolute phase and color data. Only one RGB fringe image is required to calculate the shape and color information, thus the proposed method can measure dynamic objects. Experimental results on static and moving objects having discontinuities and/or isolated surfaces show the validity of the proposed method for measuring the shape and color information.
Influence of partially coherent illumination on aerial-image-based aberration measurement of projection optics in lithographic tools
Tingting Zhou, Shiyuan Liu, Wei Liu, et al.
In this paper, the aberration measurement technique using aerial image sensor (AIS) is further derived, and the influence of partially coherent illumination on the performance of this technique is analyzed comprehensively in practice. The AIS based technique detects the intensity of the aerial image to obtain the wavefront aberration on each sampling point of the exit pupil using a set of 36 binary gratings with different pitches and orientations. The simulation work conducted by the lithographic simulator PROLITH has demonstrated that the aberration measurement errors grow with the partial coherent factor increasing. Two effects of the partially coherent illumination are proposed to interpret such influence that causes the measurement errors.

Qieni Lü, Baozhen Ge, Yiliang Chen, et al.
An optical system of digital holography based on 4f system for microstructure measurement is studied. Fresnel off-axis hologram generated by a magnified image of microstructure is recorded with a CCD, and the magnified reconstructed image can be obtained by the angular spectrum method. The quantitative phase information of the microstructure under test is obtained. A theoretical analysis is performed in detail and the experiment done, and the experimental results are also given. The research shows that the method presented in this paper can be applied to micro-object imaging and its quantitative measurement.
Optimization of pupil sampling scheme for aerial-image-based aberration measurement of projection optics in lithographic tools
Lijuan Wang, Shiyuan Liu, Wei Liu, et al.
In this paper, the aberration measurement technique using aerial image sensor (AIS) is further discussed, and an approach to optimize the pupil sampling scheme for this technique is proposed. The accuracy of this technique heavily relies on the pupil sampling scheme as it has a significant impact on the random error propagation of the Zernike coefficients. We formulate the optimization problem using a continuous function and using the gradient information to search the solution space. We also employ the regularization framework using penalty functions to restrain the complexity of the sampling scheme. The simulation work has demonstrated that the pupil sampling scheme obtained by the proposed optimization approach are more suitable than those by the trial and error method.
Determination of magneto-optical characteristics of hexaferrites from 200 GHz to 1THz using time domain spectroscopy
Ranxi Zhang, Bin Yang, Yan Zhang, et al.
Gyrotropic, magnetically-hard hexaferrite materials, are very promising candidates to operate as quasi-optical nonreciprocal devices at high frequencies (> 90GHz), with the consequent advantage of obviating the need for requiring extra biasing magnets and avoiding low temperature demagnetization. In this paper, a THz TDS system is used to make measurements on a thin (2.02 mm thickness) hexaferrite plate for both parallel and perpendicular polarisation of the pump beam. From these data, the intrinsic circular-polarisation transmittances of both senses of polarisation are computed and these are analysed to determine the magneto-optical constants of the hexaferrite plate over the range of 200 GHz to 1THz.

Correlation between linear and angular kinematic errors in prismatic joint of machine tools
Abdul Wahid Khan, Wuyi Chen
In this particular research authors have made an effort to investigate the relationships between linear and angular elemental errors through a pragmatic way and analyzing them. Correlation between the errors was considered by the case study of the coupling mechanism between the joint kinematic angular and straightness errors of a prismatic joint of a machine tool, and was validated through measurement. The laser interferometer was employed in conjunction with its optics under controlled environmental conditions for validation purposes. Prismatic joint of a 5-axis grinding machine was used for error characterization and its quantification by establishing the relevance between linear (straightness) and angular (pitch and yaw) errors. Results exhibited a quite agreement to the relationship while compensation factor added with the methodology. It was investigated whether the methodology is beneficial for reducing the elements of parametric calibration which provides an efficient characterization and error evaluation, or is just better for an estimation and quick check of a machine tool error.
The effects of water quality on the measurement results of nanoparticles' effective diameter and polydispersity by Photon Correlation Spectroscopy
Jun Xiang, Peng Han
The impurities in solution affect the measurement results of effective diameter and polydispersity of nanoparticles by Photon Correlation Spectroscopy. The purification of solution should be taken adequate concern to reflect the real characteristics of measured nanoparticles. The impurities in ultrapure water of three manufacturers were observed by differential interference microscope, Nikon Eclipse ME600. Based on the micrographs results, one of the equipments was chosen to manufacture water, and the water was purified into three different purification stages. The micrographs and background scattering light intensity of the three kinds of water were analyzed, and then the three kinds of water were used to measure standard particle nominated 90nm, and the measurement angle was from 50° to 130°. The measurement results indicate that water with high quality being used to measure nanoparticles can get stronger scattering intensity and lower value of polydispersity, and it is suitable for measurement with high precision. Impurities in water would weaken the light intensity scattered by measured nanoparticles and affect the measurement results of effective diameter and polydispersity. When laser power was relative lower, the effective diameter increased as angle. So the impurities in solution and the laser power should be paid special attention. Suggestions about choosing different stages of water purification for measurement with different precision are also given, when the equipment of water purification is determined. The effects of floc in ultrapure water on the measurement of nanoparticles still need study in future.

Osami Sasaki, Hiroshi Ueno, Takamasa Suzuki
A halogen lamp and an acousto-optic tunable filter are used to construct a sinusoidal wavelength-scanning interferometer with the scanning width of 210 nm. A linear wavelength-scanning with the scanning width of 220 nm is utilized to determine amplitudes of three different interference signals produced from multiple-reflection lights by front and rear surfaces of a thin film. Amplitudes of time-varying phases produced by a sinusoidal wavelength-scanning and constant phases in the interference signals are estimated by minimizing a difference between detected signals and theoretical ones. From the estimated values, the positions of the front and rear surface of the thin film with a thickness of about 460 nm are measured with an error less than 4 nm.
Vibration measurements based on demodulating the phase of a fiber 3dB-coupler Michelson interferometer
Min Li, Fang Xie, Junyu Ren
A fiber interferometric vibration measurement system which is based on demodulating the phase of a fiber Michelson interferometer which is made with a fiber 3dB-coupler is presented. In the work, the system employed the characteristics of fiber Brag gratings (FBGs) to interleave two fiber Michelson interferometers which share almost the same part of the main optical path. One of the fiber interferometers is used to stabilize the system, employing an electronic feedback loop to drive a piezoelectric actuator to tune the optical path of the reference beam in order to keep the interferometer in quadrature state. By this way, the low frequency drifts in the phase of the interferometric signals which are resulted from environmental disturbances are compensated for. The other one is used to perform the measurement task. By employing the characteristics of 3dB-coupler, the interferometric signals from the two outputs of the 3dB-couper are 180º out of phase. The two interferometric signals are input into an electronic processor and convert into currents, which are linear to the power of the optical interferometric light. The signals are collected by NI USB-5132 acquisition card and processed by a program in a personal computer. The measurement system is configured with fiber and fiber components which are integrated together. As the cutoff frequency of the feedback loop is 1.5Hz, the measurement system is capable of measuring vibration with frequencies bigger than 1.5Hz and the amplitude of the measured vibration is not limited.

Zhao Wang, Wei Zhang, Zhi-bin Ren
The dynamic interferometry is used to overcome the problem of the vibration and the air turbulence present in the testing process of concave aspherical mirror, whose aperture is extra large, and optical path is extra long. Aiming to 4.5m aperture concave mirror, two schemes have been designed: offner refractive and reflective compensators. The analytical model of the theoretical error analysis under the dynamic interferometry condition has been built. According to the result we can come to a conclusion that using the method of dynamic interferometry, the accuracy of measuring can be reached within λ/80. The optical testing path of mirror with multiple segments has been designed in the end. Results of this paper could provide references for the design, processing, assembling and testing technologies of large or extra large optical system.
Research on chromatic dispersion measurement of PCF based on Michelson white-light interferometry
Dagong Jia, Yong Zhu, Xuemin Zhang, et al.
Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) as a special type of optical fibers have a wide range of applications including fiber lasers, amplifiers, telecom components, fiber-optic sensors of various kinds and quantum optics. Chromatic dispersion (CD), which is one of the PCFs' most important parameters, plays key roles in its performance and the device which is made of it. Due to the diversity of PCFs' structure and study of its relevant devices, the precision measurement of PCFs' CD is particularly important. Based on the analysis of CD measurement method, a set of experimental system for measuring PCFs' CD value was developed by using white-light Michelson interferometry. The maximum CD is 1000ps/nm using this system. The algorithms of extracting the CD from the interference spectra were studied. Experiments were carried out to measure the PCFs' CD value based on the CD measurement system. The experimental results show that: the CD value of PCF is -25.8634 ps/(nm • km) at 1300nm wavelength.

Hongxia Zhang, Di Wu, Dagong Jia, et al.
An oral cavity inspecting system is designed and developed to inspect the detail of teeth. The inspecting system is composed of microscopic imaging part, illuminating part, image capture and processing, display part. The two groups of cemented lenses were optimized to minimize the optical aberration and the collimated beam light is gotten between the two lenses. A relay lens is adopted to allow the probe to access the oral cavity depth. The illumination optic fiber is used and the brightness and color temperature can be adjustable. The illumination fiber end surface is oblique cut and the optimum angle is 37°. The image of teeth is imaged on CMOS and captured into computer. The illumination intensity and uniformity were tested and the proper parameter is set. Foucault chart was observed and the system resolution is higher than 100lp/mm. The oral inspecting system is used to test standard tooth model and patho-teeth model. The tooth image is clear and the details can be observed. The experimental results show that the system could meet dental medical application requirements.
Content measurement of textile mixture by Fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy
Li Liu, Li Yan, Yaocheng Xie, et al.
A new method for accurate measurement of content of textile mixture based on Fourier transform near infrared spectroscopy is put forward. The near infrared spectra of 56 samples with different cotton and polyester contents were obtained, in which 41 samples, 10 samples and 5 samples were used for the calibration set, validation set and prediction set respectively. The wavelet transform (WT) was utilized for the spectra data compression. From the linear and nonlinear perspective, multivariable linear regression (MLR) model based on the Lambert - Beer's law and back propagation (BP) neural network model based on WT were developed. It indicates that the prediction accuracy of WT-ca3-BP network model is 2% for calibration sample and 4% for validation sample, which is much higher than the MLR model and is suitable for the prediction of unknown samples. On the basis of not changing the structure of the WT-ca3-BP network model, calibration and validation samples were utilized fully to be re-set to new calibration samples, which upgraded this model. The upgraded WT-ca3-BP network model was applied to predict unknown samples. Experimental results show that this approach based on Fourier transform Near Infrared Spectroscopy can be used to quantitative analysis for textile fiber.
Vibration errors in phase-shifting interferometer
Hao-ming Wei, Ting-wen Xing
Unexpected mechanical vibrations can significantly degrade the otherwise high accuracy of phase-shifting interferometer (PSI). Because the data acquisition takes place over time, sensitivity to vibration is as a function of the frequency, the phase, the amplitude of vibrations, the smoothness of test surface and the slope coefficient of reference plane. A complete, nonlinear, continuing mathematical model of PSI with well defined longitudinal and transverse vibrations is presented. The approach to quantifying vibration is using the discrete sum formula instead of the continuing integral model. Computer simulations are performed over a range of vibration frequencies and amplitudes for 4,7,11 and 15 frames phase-shift algorithms. Numerical simulation results demonstrate the methods to increase the accuracy of PSI is to choose more phase steps and higher speed CCD camera and PSI with small slope coefficient of reference surface and good smooth test surface has low sensitivity to transverse vibration. Finally programs basing on the phase-shifting interference theory are given to imitate the process of obtaining interferogram with vibrations. After intensity signal is processed through PSI algorithm and phase unwrapping algorithm, the sensitivity of PSI to vibration is achieved and described by the difference of the computer phase and test phase. The results of numerical simulation are supported by several examples on dummy experimental platform.
Research of full-field deformation measurement system
Kaiduan Yue, Mei Yuan, Yaxing Yi, et al.
It is very important to measure the vibration amplitude and the dynamic deformation of the object so Electrical Speckle Pattern Interferometry technique has developed rapidly in recent years because of its Non Destructive Testing (NDT) methodology. A dynamic Electrical Speckle Pattern Interferometry technique was described in the paper. The Spatial Phase-shift System was implemented through four CCD cameras. The object light interferes with the given phase shifting value of reference light at the baget of each CCD camera. The vibration amplitude and the dynamic deformation can be measured by the phase detecting method. The error of the influence of the disturbance of the air, the influence of the changing temperature, and the influence of the vibration of the environment can be eliminated. The image matching and image emendation technology were used for the images of four CCDs to optimize the result of the measurement. The Space Phase-shift System was promoted by the transient vibration and dynamic deformation system.
On-line measurement of profile parameters of rectangular holographic photoresist gratings during development
Shiming Wei, Lifeng Li
This paper presents a method for on-line measuring photoresist grating profiles during the development process by detecting the diffraction efficiencies of surface-relief photoresist gratings on transparent substrates. A He-Ne laser of 594.1 nm wavelength is employed as the monitoring light source. Firstly, the groove depth of a grating is determined from the minimum value of the monitoring curve of the 0th-order transmission intensity. Then, with the groove depth known, the duty cycle of the grating is measured from the -1st-order transmission intensity. The feasibility of our method has been demonstrated through fabrication of many rectangular photoresist gratings of 1200, 2200, and 3000 lines/mm on glass substrates. Good agreement between the on-line, real-time measured results and the scanning electron microscopy results is obtained.
Machine tools error characterization and compensation by on-line measurement of artifact
Abdul Wahid Khan, Wuyi Chen, Lili Wu
Most manufacturing machine tools are utilized for mass production or batch production with high accuracy at a deterministic manufacturing principle. Volumetric accuracy of machine tools depends on the positional accuracy of the cutting tool, probe or end effector related to the workpiece in the workspace volume. In this research paper, a methodology is presented for volumetric calibration of machine tools by on-line measurement of an artifact or an object of a similar type. The machine tool geometric error characterization was carried out through a standard or an artifact, having similar geometry to the mass production or batch production product. The artifact was measured at an arbitrary position in the volumetric workspace with a calibrated Renishaw touch trigger probe system. Positional errors were stored into a computer for compensation purpose, to further run the manufacturing batch through compensated codes. This methodology was found quite effective to manufacture high precision components with more dimensional accuracy and reliability. Calibration by on-line measurement gives the advantage to improve the manufacturing process by use of deterministic manufacturing principle and found efficient and economical but limited to the workspace or envelop surface of the measured artifact's geometry or the profile.

An inversion of plume gas concentration distribution based on multivariate regression analysis
Qing Ye, Xiaoquan Sun, Li Shao, et al.
In light of the difficulties to directly measure plume gas concentration by existing methods, the paper proposed an inversion algorithm based on multivariate regression analysis. We first of all built up a multivariate regression model of plume gas concentration by dividing the plume into several homogeneous layers along the observation direction. Then a group of discrete spectral data was sampled out from plume infrared radiation curve at the intervals of certain wave numbers. Thus the spectroscopic data without atmospheric attenuation could be obtained when the discrete spectral data was divided by the atmospheric transmittances at corresponding wave numbers. After that, we worked on the temperature profile of the plume, figuring out the average temperature of each layer of plume through integration according to the outcomes of plume layering. At the same time, supported by the High Resolution Temperature Gas Spectral Database (HITEMP), we also computed out the average absorption coefficient of each layer of plume. Thereby, the triplicity of the spectroscopic data without atmospheric attenuation, the average temperature of each layer of plume and the average absorption coefficient of each layer of plume, as the input parameters for the multivariate regression model of plume gas concentration, could finally enable us to work out the concentration distribution of the plume gas along the observation direction by least squares method which, however, only took into consideration the effect of vapor and carbon dioxide. The comparison with the concentration distribution acquired through numerical computation of plume flow field proves the feasibility of the inversion algorithm.
A polarization-modulated multichannel Mueller-matrix scatterometer for smoke particle characterization
Qixing Zhang, Lifeng Qiao, Jinjun Wang, et al.
The polarization properties of scattered light are being exploited to determine the optical and physical information of small particles. In this paper, a scatterometer is developed for simultaneously measuring the Mueller scattering matrix elements as functions of the scattering angle. The scatterometer uses an electro-optic modulator to modulate the polarization state of the incident light, and uses two photomultipliers provided with different polarization optics to consist multichannel polarization-state detector. The instrument takes advantage of combination of the polarizationmodulation technique and division-of -amplitude photopolarimeter, which make for a compact design and substantial increase in measurement throughput and speed. The methods of calibration and alignment using the polarizationmodulated light are established, with which the instrument is calibrated precisely. The methods of data processing and error analysis of the measured Mueller matrix elements are developed. A hybrid experimental/theoretical approach to study the light scattering properties of smoke particles is also presented.
Depth measurement using infrared thermography
Yan Huo, Yue-jin Zhao, Cun-lin Zhang, et al.
Infrared Thermography is a Nondestructive Testing and Evaluating (NDT&E) technique. it is an effective technique for quantitative prediction of defect depth and defect area, an analysis of depth measurement based on theoretical one-dimensional solution of pulsed thermography is used, assuring the depth of defects by calculating break time that the Logarithmic time evolution of the health area begins to deviate from that of the defective area. Several back-drilled flat-bottom holes which located at three different depths in the aluminum plate are used as simulated defects. Meanwhile, other two coating samples buried with nine defects are also detected. The experimental results of the infrared thermography can demonstrate the capability to predict the depth of defects. The advantages and disadvantages of this method are also outlined.

Takamasa Suzuki, Ryuichi Nagai, Osami Sasaki
An external-cavity laser diode that performs static wavelength scanning is proposed. It eliminates problems such as repeatability and tuning rate that arise due to mechanical movements induced in the external cavity of conventional systems because it requires no mechanical elements. Experiments have revealed that the scanning range and tuning rate are 1.3 nm and 1 kHz, respectively.
Light scattering modeling of bacteria using spheroids and cylinders
Chunxia Feng, Lihua Huang, Jie Han, et al.
Numerical simulations of light scattering by irregularly shaped bacteria are carried out using the T-matrix method. A previously developed T-matrix code for the study of light scattering by randomly oriented non-spherical particles is used for the current purpose and it is validated against Mie-theory using coccus. Simplified particle shapes of spheroids and cylinders for simulating scattering by irregularly shaped bacteria are studied. The results for the angular distributions of the scattering matrix elements of B.Subtilis at wavelength 0.6328μm are presented. Their dependence on shape and model are discussed. Analysis suggests that spheroids perform better than cylinders for B.Subtilis. Calculations of the scatter matrix elements to determine bacteria sizes as well as shapes may be an accurate method and may be used to determine what the bacteria are.
Optical measurement of atmospheric refractive index structure constants
Xiwen Qiang, Jingru Liu, Fei Zong, et al.
Atmospheric turbulence increases bit error rate and degrades beams quality for wireless laser communication links as laser light propagation in the turbulent atmosphere, and atmospheric refractive index structure constant is an important parameter for statistics of atmospheric turbulence. Characteristics of atmospheric turbulence in the atmosphere varies randomly and the experiments in the real atmosphere are expensive, so it is an important way to simulate atmospheric turbulence in laboratory for investigation on laser beams propagation in through the atmosphere. The structure parameter of the atmospheric turbulence in laboratory was measured based on measurement of angle-of-arrival (AOA) fluctuations of centroids as laser beam through the simulated-turbulence. The results shows a good agreement with the previous result measured by thermal method, the strength of simulated-turbulence was 1000 times stronger than that in the real atmosphere. The characteristics of turbulence varies temporally with air temperature and wind velocity, and statistics of atmospheric turbulence was presented for various air temperature and wind velocity along the propagation path.
A single channel spatial polarization encoding and decoding method based on photoelastic modulator
Jie Han, Aijun Zeng, Chunxia Feng, et al.
A method to encode and decode the spatial position using polarization is proposed. Birefringent wedge and photoelastic modulator (PEM) are used to encode and modulate the laser with a polarizer and an analyzer. The state of polarization (SOP) of laser beam changes gradually along the gradient direction of birefringent wedge. The spatial polarization encoding beam is transmitted by a beam expander to form a spatial encoding field. A part of laser carrying the information of spatial position in the field is received by detector. With signal processing, the harmonic terms of detected intensity are obtained to realize the single channel decoding. With the single channel spatial polarization encoding and decoding method, the problem of incorporating automatic gain control (AGC) between separate channel signals can be overcome and the precision of decoding is improved by its rotation-invariant feature, and the results of decoding vary linearly with retardation in the range of ±180°. In experiments, the relationship between decoding spatial position and the true value of position is linear. Usefulness of the method is verified.

In this paper, to monitor and to control the fermentation process of BCAA, especially its logarithmic phase, parameters such as the color of fermentation broth, culture temperature, pH, revolution, dissolved oxygen, airflow rate, pressure, optical density, and residual glucose, are measured and/or controlled and/or adjusted. The color of fermentation broth is measured using the HIS color model and a BP neural network. The network's input is the histograms of hue H and saturation S, and output is the color description. Fermentation process parameters are adjusted using fuzzy reasoning, which is performed by inference rules. According to the practical situation of BCAA fermentation process, all parameters are divided into four grades, and different fuzzy rules are established.

Method for decrease of the centroid error of star image caused by stellar spectrum
Hai-bo Liu, Ji-chun Tan, Shui-hua Huang, et al.
Due to the residual chromatic aberration of lens in star tracker, the position accuracy of the star image decrease with the increase of the field of view (FOV). The spectral distribution characteristics of guide star catalog including about 4600 stars are analyzed statistically, and the function model of stellar spectrums is established in this paper. The centroid position for each of the guide star images is a function of its color type and the radial distance to the center of the FOV. The principle of calibration of the centroid error is to make the weighted polynomial, and use a least square fitting approach to obtain the best values of the position errors compensatory parameters for star image considered in a wide field of view (FOV) and with different color temperature. As an example, at the 2.5 DEGREES (FOV) star position errors for Spectral types F, G and K are 10.80μm, 6.5174μm and 4.3479μm respectively. The star position RMS error is reduced from 1.06 pixels to 0.13 pixels, after implementing the spectral compensation scheme for the lens system of a star tracker.

Haitao Yan, Zhiqiang Zhen, Zhengxin Tang
Used digital speckle correlation method (DSCM) to measure is researched. The experiment is designed and the laser irradiates a PZT which is driven by some signal to obtain the dynamic speckle patterns. The dynamic speckle patterns are shot by CCD, then the DSCM is used to process the sequential images and also the experiment is simulated. The movement of reflection target is controlled by PZT which is driven by the different model signal. When the reflection target is moving, the dynamic speckle patterns are shot by CCD, the sequential images are stored in computer through an image board. Then the digital speckle correlation method is used to process the sequential images. There are three output parameters after the images correlation calculation: (xi ,yi) and α that represent for position and moving direction of the object, Initial (xi ,yi) is (0,0). (▵xi , ▵yi) represents pixel difference in coordinates of two adjacent images. α is the angle specifying the direction of the object's motion relative to the x-axis: αε[00,900]. Varying the speed of the aluminum plate, variant values of (▵xi ,▵i) are obtained and varying the direction of numeric control caterpillar track, variant values of α were obtained. From the obtained displacement and the collected frequency, the vibration frequency was obtained. The experimental results show the DSCM can confirm the frequency and displacement of vibration, and have a good agreement with the simulation results, and the results show the digital speckle correlation method can be used to measure vibation.

Modal analysis of low-level-light aiming sight-glass based on vibration testing conditions
Youtang Gao, Si Tian, Jianliang Qiao, et al.
Low-level-light (LLL) sight-glass measurement technologies based on multiple environmental testing conditions are always concerned by military equipments manufacturers. The article puts forward the concrete steps and method of vibration environmental testing measurement according to military optical equipments environments testing standards. Using vibration theory and mathematical modeling analysis, vibration modal of LLL aiming sight-glass based on vibration testing conditions is constructed and analyzed. In order to study dynamic characteristic of vibration system, coordinates of the physical model are converted to modal coordinates. By means of equating system modal, vibration modal is impacted by damping coefficient. Emulating the system under the damping coefficientξ from 0.1 to 1 and natural frequency n ωn is 89, the results indicate that damped systems is influenced by coordinates conversion of transfer function. The structure with less damping usually can be regarded as the proportional damping system otherwise can be considered as the general damping system.
Small roll angle measurement based on auto-collimation and moiré fringe
Xu-guang Bai, Sheng Cai, Ming Dai
A novel method for small roll angle measurement based on auto-collimation and moiré fringe is presented. A right-angle prism is used as an indicator of small roll angle around the optical axis, and a CCD is used to collect moiré fringes that are generated by scale grating image which is reflected by prism and index grating. Any small roll angle of the prism will change the include angle of the grating pair and meanwhile induce a change in the moiré fringe period. The relationship between roll angle and period of moiré fringes is established. The period data is obtained by image processing. The experimental result certifies that the principle of small angle measurement method based on auto-collimation and moiré fringe is correct and feasible. The measuring error is smaller than 0.2" within 7' range compared with 0.2" autocollimator.

A novel method measuring optical fiber nonlinear coefficient based on XPM
Shuangxi Zhang, Xuqiang Wu, Fei Ai, et al.
In optic communication systems, the nonlinear effect of the optical fiber is of great importance. There are several methods measuring optical fiber nonlinear coefficient. A novel method measuring optical fiber nonlinear coefficient is proposed, which is based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer fabricated with 3×3 coupler, polarization controller and so on. According to cross phase modulation (XPM), when two optical waves are injected into the same optical fiber, the phase of one optical wave will be changed because of the other one. So a sinusoidal phase signal will be generated through coupling a sinusoidal modulated high-power laser into one arm of the interferometer, and then the three outputs of the interferometer will contain the sinusoidal phase signal. According to the characteristic of the 3×3 coupler, the phase difference between the three outputs is 2π / 3 . Through mathematics disposition of the three outputs of the interferometer, a couple of orthogonal signals can be yielded. Then the amplitude of the sinusoidal phase signal can be demodulated accurately by arctan method. The length of the optical fiber and the power of the laser can be measured easily, according to expression about the nonlinear phase shift induced by XPM, the optical fiber nonlinear coefficient of certain wavelength will be calculated. The optical fiber nonlinear effect is simulated by the software optisystem, and the process measuring the optical fiber nonlinear coefficient is analyzed in detail based on the schematic design.
Dynamic deformation inspection of a human arm by using a line-scan imaging system
A line-scan imaging system is used in the dynamic deformation measurement of a human arm when the muscle is contracting and relaxing. The measurement principle is based on the projection grating profilometry, and the measuring system is consisted of a line-scan CCD camera, a projector, optical lens and a personal computer. The detected human arm is put upon a reference plane, and a sinusoidal grating is projected onto the object surface and reference plane at an incidence angle, respectively. The deformed fringe pattern in the same line of the dynamic detected arm is captured by the line-scan CCD camera with free trigger model, and the deformed fringe pattern is recorded in the personal computer for processing. A fast Fourier transform combining with a filtering and spectrum shifting method is used to extract the phase information caused by the profile of the detected object. Thus, the object surface profile can be obtained following the geometric relationship between the fringe deformation and the object surface height. Furthermore, the deformation procedure can be obtained line by line. Some experimental results are presented to prove the feasibility of the inspection system.

Peng Liu, Yinchao Zhang, Siying Chen, et al.
The biological warfare agent (BWA) is a kind of terrible threat during the war or raid from the terrorist. Last decade, the interest in utilizing ultraviolet laser-induced fluorescence (UV-LIF) LIDAR to detect the bioaerosol cloud has risen in order to measure the distribution of the bioaerosol particle. The UV-LIF LIDAR system can remotely detect and classify the bioaerosol agents and it is an active detecting system. As the infrared absorbing in the atmosphere is less, the range of infrared remote sensing is very far. The infrared laser at 1064 nm wavelength firstly begins to work in the UV-LIF LIDAR system and the aerosol cloud can be detected at very long range through the elastic backscattering signal from aerosol irradiated by infrared laser. But the category of aerosol can't be identified yet. If the infrared elastic backscattering level exceeds a threshold, UV laser at 355 nm wavelength will be triggered and induce the fluorescence. The excitated spectra of fluorescence can be used for discrimination of different aerosol species and particle concentration. This paper put forward for a UV-LIF LIDAR system model and the principle of the model is described summarily. Then the system parameters are presented and the simulation and analysis of the infrared elastic backscattering and laser-induced fluorescence are made, which is based on these parameters. Raman backscattering signal of Nitrogen gas in the atmosphere generally is taken to reduce measuring error, so the article also simulates this Raman backscatter signal at 387 nm wavelength. The studies above may provide some valuable instructions to the design of a real UV-LIF LIDAR system.
Analysis for angle anisoplanatic effect of the steady thermal blooming
Yunqiang Sun, Fengjie Xi, Xiaojun Xu, et al.
The effect of beacon Anisoplanatism needs to be considered in analyzing the error of the adaptive optical system. Therefore, thermal blooming anisoplanatic effect of the Gaussian beam is analyzed numerically and theoretically. Wavefront distortion of the Gaussian beam caused by thermal blooming anisoplanatic effect is expanded by the Zernike polynomials. The Zernike coefficient and the fitting error are obtained by numerical calculations. The comparisons between the Zernike coefficients indicate that the defocus item is the most important to the angular anisoplanatic error. Based on the Wave-front distortion caused by the thermal blooming angular anisoplanatic effect, the defocus coefficient of the Zernike polynomials is obtained theoretically. The result of the angular anisoplanatic error calculated by theoretical formula is consistent with the outcome of the numerical calculation, and the result also indicates that the angular anisoplanatic error is the function of the caliber size and varies as the square of the anisoplanatic angle. The square relation of angle anisoplanatism is consistent with the result obtained by the turbulence angular anisoplanatic effect.

There is a new method that the rocket nozzle 3D motion is measured by a motion tracking system based on the passive optical markers. However, an important issue is required to resolve-how to assess the accuracy of rocket nozzle motion test. Therefore, calibration equipment is designed and manufactured for generating the truth of nozzle model motion such as translation, angle, velocity, angular velocity, etc. It consists of a base, a lifting platform, a rotary table and a rocket nozzle model with precise geometry size. The nozzle model associated with the markers is installed on the rotary table, which can translate or rotate at the known velocity. The general accuracy of rocket nozzle motion test is evaluated by comparing the truth value with the static and dynamic test data. This paper puts emphasis on accuracy assessment of novel two-axes rotating and single-axis translating calibration equipment. By substituting measured value of the error source into error model, the pointing error reaches less than 0.005deg, rotation center position error reaches 0.08mm, and the rate stability is less than 10-3. The calibration equipment accuracy is much higher than the accuracy of nozzle motion test system, thus the former can be used to assess and calibrate the later.

Noise filtering of rotational Raman lidar using threshold amendment for atmospheric temperature measurement
Weiguo Kong, Siying Chen, Yinchao Zhang, et al.
Pure Rotational Raman Lidar is a new technique for detecting vertical troposphere temperature profile. Since the backscattering Raman signals are so weak that the photon-counting method is applied by using a multiscaler. By setting the threshold of the multiscaler, most noises mixed with the signals can be filtered. However, difference exists between the set threshold and the actual threshold of the two count channels, and also exists between the set thresholds of the two count channels. This will affect quick-setting of the appropriate thresholds. In this paper, a rule is put forward and the measuring system is established to confirm the set threshold value corresponding to an actual one, making use of the amplitude fluctuation of square wave. By this system, pairs of set threshold and actual threshold are obtained, and the curve of the set threshold against the actual threshold of a single count channel, as well as the curve of thresholds of the two count channels, is fitted. The theoretical analysis is well agreed with the experimental results, and it indicates that the appropriate threshold can be set more quickly by using the curve.

Diffusers are important parts of a light pipe which can diffuse light evenly to the place need to illuminate. The lamphouses used in the experiment were two ultraviolet radiation lamps with the power of each lamp 8W and main wavelengh was 365nm. The ultraviolet intensity on the surface of the catalyst was about 120μW/cm2. The experiments also showed that diffusers without photocatalysis could reduce the fraction volume of SO2 in a little box of 0.1 m3 volume made up of stainless steel from 1.0 × 10-6 to 0.36 × 10-6. Diffuser coated with photocatalysis within 1h SO2 fraction volume decomposed from 1.0 × 10-6 down to 0.25 × 10-6 with faster and more complete degradation of SO2. The experimental results showed that the performance of photocatalysis combined with diffusers of light pipe had better effect in a small space.

A measured-data processing method based on MATLAB wavelet for distributed optical fiber sensing system
A. H. Chen, H. Y. Zeng, G. L. Jiang, et al.
The development of the hidden hazard in earth and rockfill dams is a long-term process, but the symptom of its occurrence can be extracted from monitoring measured-data. However, severe disaster may happen since the cryptic proof in these measured-data was ignored. A method of data processing to identify the seepage degree is proposed. Distributed optical fiber sensing system is employed to monitor the change of the temperature caused by the seepage flow inside the dam. Due to tiny difference between two temperatures of the earth and stable seepage water, measureddata need to be processed further to identify unconspicuous seepage flow. MATLAB wavelet method is used to analyze these tiny changes hidden in measured-data, which is effective to tell the location and degree of the seepage.

P. Zhong, Ye Jin
The burst strongly flashing event taking place in space such as strong explosion in low air is very random in time and position, and its duration time is very short. In this paper, a photoelectric measuring device, namely, 2D angle localizer for measuring 2D angle of a burst strongly flashing object appearing in place randomly has been presented. It mainly includes detecting head with narrow slot, cylinder silicon photoelectric receiver, absolute photoelectric encoder and computer. It can complete the measurement of 2D information, namely, the azimuth angle and pitching angle of the center position of a spatial flashing object. The principle of measuring angle and basic structure of measuring angle device are introduced. The critical parts of the device are briefly described. A contrast experiment of measuring the sun's 2D angle by 2D angle localizer and theodolite was made. The measuring results and accuracy analysis have been given. Due to being equipped with variable gain amplifiers and three silicon photoelectric accepters with cylinder surface, the 2D angle localizer has the characteristics of Wide dynamic measurement range and omnidirectional angle measurement. The measuring accuracy of 2D angle localizer is more than 2mil and the act of measuring can be finished in 0.5s.
SNR analysis according to the practical factors for Mie-scattering lidar
Zongjia Qiu, Siying Chen, Yinchao Zhang, et al.
The effectiveness of the lidar scattering signal can be intuitively reflected by SNR. Thus the effective detection range can be objectively evaluated. Usually by theoretical analyzing the devices of lidar signal detection system, an ideal SNR model of scattering signal can be built. Under these circumstances the theoretical SNR might be an inflated value. For instance, when the detection distance is 20Km the SNR can be up to 20dB. However, in the practical experiment the 10Km's SNR is merely 3dB. From the results, it can be deduced that the effective distance range is far less than the simulation value. Consequently, other practical factors must be considered in SNR analysis for Mie-scattering lidar. In the paper the results of Mie scattering lidar experiment are shown firstly. Then the SNR is calculated through deducting the background noise. The background radiation specific gravity is also presented in this paper. The photomultiplier tubes dark-current is detected. And the effect of all noise components to the SNR is estimated. Meanwhile, some improve measurements to reduce the interference noise are mentioned.

Research on full-field measurement of optical film thickness by processing double interferometric fringes based on digital wavefront interferometry
Long-jiang Chen, Yi-yong Liang, Jian-bo Luo, et al.
In this paper, a novel optical-film thickness measurement method by the concurrent phase-unwrapping technology of double interferometric fringes based on digital wavefront interferometry (DWI) is presented. By using this method, some experiments were implemented on some substrates covered with a kind of optical film such as mono-layer transparent photoresist. The experimental values of photoresist-layer thickness were acquired by the computer-aid digital processing of two groups of interferometric fringes synchronously. These results match well with accurate data measured by spectroscopic ellipsometer. Compared with common techniques of optical-film thickness measurement, the proposed method has a few advantages as following: non-contact, undamaged, realtime, adaptive capacity to environment and high accuracy, etc. Theoretical simulation and experimental studies show that the method has favorable measuring robustness. In addition, the method can be applied to guide, control and improve optical fabrication based optical film techniques. Furthermore, it is also applicable to the thickness measurement of curved-surface monofilm or planar multi-layer film, which is important for the optical film-coating of conventional optical systems based on curved-surface lens.
Influence and correction of temperature on optical measurement for fat and protein contents in a complex food model system
Xuedian Zhang, Min Chang, Kexin Xu
Near infrared spectroscopy has been proposed as an effective way for measuring complex component compositions noninvasively. However temperature-induced spectral variation can cause accuracy problems if not taken care of in a proper manner. The influence of temperature on optical measurements has been studied for determining fat and protein contents in complex food systems. A model system consisting of mixtures of fat, protein, water and emulsion was developed to create an imitation of complex food systems. The changes in optical properties, including the absorbance coefficients and reduced scattering coefficients, of the system from 25°C to 40°C were measured in the wavelength from 1100 to 1670 nm. Complex changes in the absorbance coefficient and decreasing changes in the reduced scattering coefficients with the increasing temperature were founded. The mechanisms of the influences were analyzed. In order to correct the effect, a statistical method was needed. Then, a method called global robust temperature calibration model is proposed. Accordingly, the validating experiments using the samples made up of 54 complex food systems were executed. The experimental results indicated that the method can significantly reduce the temperature effect on optical measurement.
