The junctions are prepared at the high composition end of nonlinear composition region and linear composition region respectively, and the photoelectric performance of HgCdTe detector with composition gradient was studied. By calculating the built-in electric field of composition gradient in two samples with different temperatures, the results show that the built-in electric field generated by the linear composition distribution is 100 ~ 200 V/cm, while the built-in electric field generated by the nonlinear composition distribution makes the electric field on surface of the sample as high as 2 000 V/cm. The analysis indicates that the influence of the built-in electric field generated by the composition gradient on the movement of the minority carrier is the main reason for the difference in the photoelectric properties of the two samples. By analyzing the three different trends of responsivity of the sample with different temperatures, it is proposed that using the built-in electric field generated by the composition gradient which is controlled by temperature can reduce the space charge effect and provides a new thought for improving the saturation threshold of the HgCdTe detector under large injection..

Based on the platform of lithium niobate on insulator, a periodically poled lithium niobate thin film waveguide structure was designed. By utilizing the excellent nonlinear properties of lithium niobate combined with flexible phase matching schemes, the influences of structural dispersion on the poling period were analyzed. In addition, the difference in effective refractive index of waveguide mode varied with temperature was employed. The bandwidth of frequency conversion is expanded effectively by changing the material temperature, achieving the double-frequency in the range of 1.5 μm to 1.6 μm. Finally a normalized conversion efficiency of 562% is obtained, which provides a theoretical basis for further research on parametric conversion of chip photonics..

The material quality is very important to obtain the high performance infrared detector. It is presented that the key issue of the material quality is to control the lattice mismatch between the layers of the device architecture. The effects of the lattice mismatch on the material quality and the dark current characteristics were reported. In the InAs/InAsSbP system grown by LPE technology, there is an appropriate value for the lattice mismatch between InAsSbP and InAs. If the lattice mismatch deviates from this value, no matter whether it is smaller or larger, the material quality will deteriorate. Then it was stated how to adjust growth parameters to obtain the appropriate lattice mismatch. The infrared detector made from the device architecture with the appropriate lattice mismatch was fabricated, and the room-temperature peak detectivity of this detector is 6.8×10

In the millimeter wave imaging of personal security inspection, it is with low probability to detect the dangerous and violent/explosive things in the limited two-dimensional imaging plane. Therefore, the human result reconstructed by three-dimensional fully focused algorithm is demanded urgently. It is difficult to achieve a balance between the accuracy and efficiency for the conventional three-dimensional reconstruction algorithms that are purely either in time or frequency domain. To this end, time-frequency coordinated three-dimensional reconstruction algorithm (TFC-3DR) is proposed based on the dimensional decomposition and algorithmic coordination scheme, in which the efficiency of frequency-domain algorithm and the accuracy of time-domain algorithm can be combined and coordinated. In order to guarantee the operational efficiency, the range migration is uniformly calibrated in the range-height plane under the azimuth invariance characteristics of the range migration algorithm (RDA) in the frequency-domain. Then, the time-domain back projection (BP) is employed in the range-angle plane through point-by-point coherent accumulation of pulse-compressed data and resolution units to guarantee the imaging accuracy. In the end, TFC-3DR is established with both high efficiency and accuracy. Due to the introduction to BP algorithm, the scanning trajectory of the array antenna in the angle dimension is flexible and variable, which reduces the blind area of the human body, so that highly missed and false detection rate can be avoided. Simulated and practical data of human body is performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. Meanwhile, the superiority over the proposed algorithm is examined by comparing with the BP reconstruction algorithm in terms of the reconstruction accuracy and computation complexity..

The focal shift effect of terahertz (THz) beam focusing when using a wide-aperture refractive lens has been investigated. The deviation of focus position caused by the focal shift effect can adversely affect the imaging or measurement quality of a THz system. In this study, reference values of relative focal shifts and combinations of different lens apertures, focal lengths, and working frequencies were analyzed and discussed through theoretical calculation and finite element analysis simulation. When using the commercial lens, the actual focus was determined based on the focal shift effect to ensure the working efficiency of a terahertz system. Concerning the customized lens design, the focal shift distance was compensated in the focal length optimization according to the working frequency. These two approaches guaranteed the good performance of a THz system..

Fourier transform spectrometer shows great advantages in the field of quantitative remote sensing. Nonlinear correction is an important part to ensure the accuracy of on-orbit radiometric calibration. The FY-4/GIIRS located in the stationary orbit has the characteristics of uneven sunlight exposure and severe daily changes in the background temperature of the instrument. A nonlinear correction algorithm based on instrument spectral responsivity correction is derived. By measuring a set of standard reference radiation source spectral quantification values and spectral responsivity, fitting the correction coefficient of the primary term of spectral responsivity. After the ambient temperature of the instrument changes, the correction coefficient of the response rate constant term can be recalculated using the correction coefficient of the first-order term, the spectral value and the spectral responsivity of the black body observation, and the nonlinear correction coefficient of the instrument under any instrument background temperature can be obtained. Verified by the ground thermal vacuum (TVAC) calibration tests data before the launch of the instrument, the algorithm is simple and effective. In each ambient temperature test, the radiometric calibration accuracy in the observation range of 180-320 K has been improved significantly..

Packaging is one of the key technologies of optoelectronic devices. It also determines the performance of the packaged device. In the article, a method based on wavelength hysteresis is proposed to evaluate the thermal resistance of the laser at ambient temperatures from 298 K to 10 K. The thermal resistance is characterized by calculating the value of wavelength hysteresis during the cooling and heating process. This method solves the problem that the heat dissipation performance of the laser cannot be evaluated at low temperatures. This is of great significance to the optical interconnection at low temperatures. It also provides a reference for the package design of lasers in a low-temperature environment..

Airborne area array whisk-broom imaging systems require a high enough overlap rate between frames to avoid missed scans caused by the control error of the line of sight (LOS) during the scanning process, which restricts the imaging system's adaptability under conditions of high speed height ratio, and limits the imaging swath of the system. This paper proposes a new method of LOS path planning model and overlap rate calculation. The scanning path of the LOS of the imaging system is optimal designed through the geometric analysis method of the image spherical projection, and based on the azimuth rotation angle of the image plane projection in the image sphere, a new model for overlap rate calculation is developed. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments have verified that the stabilization accuracy of the LOS is increased from 2.93° to 0.15° when the lateral gaze imaging is performed at 40°, and the operation efficiency is increased by about 32% when the same speed height ratio and single-line 5-frame whisk-broom imaging are performed. The research work of this thesis is of great significance to promote the further development of airborne whisk-broom imaging technology toward the direction of wide field of view, high speed height ratio, and high resolution..

The target signal is broadened due to the cross-pixel effect of the point target and the insufficient readout bandwidth of the detector when using the remote sensing instrument with large-scale infrared detectors to image the point target dominated by stars. After the equal interval sampling and data arrangement, the target image presents a “splitting point” state, which reduces the positioning accuracy and target recognition ability of spatial infrared remote sensing instruments. Aiming at this problem, a “splitting point” targets degradation model is constructed in this paper. According to the strong correlation between splitting points, a target detection process of pre-detection - energy dimension iteration - model updating – post-detection is designed. Through morphological filtering and the multiple hypotheses tracking technique, track the observations of the ' split point ' target independently and obtain the statistical information of “split point”. Then correct the constructed model with known star centroid and map it into the current detection image to correct the target centroid. The test results show that the method can effectively distinguish the false target caused by ' split point ' and multi-target, and the positioning accuracy is improved from more than 0.5 pixels to less than 0.15 pixels..

FY-4A of China carries the Geostationary Interferometric Infrared Sounder (GIIRS) to realize infrared hyperspectral sounding on a geostationary orbit for the first time, which can continuously obtain information of atmospheric temperature and humidity profiles. Based on the conventional radiosonde data, the quality of FY-4A/GIIRS atmospheric temperature profile products in 2020 is evaluated from the aspects of detection capability and accuracy, providing reference for product applications and algorithm research. The results show that the detection ability of the atmospheric temperature profile retrieved by FY-4A/GIIRS is greatly affected by cloud activity in the height level and monthly statistics. Under clear sky conditions, the root mean square error of the whole atmospheric layer is about 2 K, while the lower atmospheric layer of 700-1 000 hPa is relatively larger (about 2.5 K). The bias of the whole atmospheric layer is mainly negative. The quality assessment of different months shows that summer and autumn are obviously better than winter and spring, which is conducive to observation in the season with the frequent disastrous weather. The temperature profile error of a single pixel is obviously large under cloudy conditions, and the multiple-pixel Cressman objective analysis can effectively improve the product availability. The product quality of temperature profiles in low altitude areas is significantly better than that in high altitude areas, which can greatly make up for the shortage of sounding data in the eastern, southern regions of China and the vast ocean surface..

In space-based infrared detecting backgrounds, the presence of clouds would cause serious interference to target detection, making it impossible to continuously detect and track targets and reducing the system’s detecting efficiency. For space-based detecting systems operating in starring mode, the background changes little over a period. It is feasible to analyze the detection system efficiency based on modeling background characteristics. Theoretical analysis, image simulation and analytical modeling methods are used together to perform a fast evaluation of space-based infrared platform availability under complex cloud backgrounds. Firstly, a preliminary evaluation model of space-based detection availability is established through analysis of the signal to clutter ratio when the target is crossing clouds. Factors influencing the detecting availability are determined through analysis. Then, a linear relationship is given between the frame numbers of losing parameters of the target and cloud based on simulated results. A theoretical model of availability is built up by analyzing the physical meaning of each parameter and the coefficient values are determined by regression analysis. Finally, the space-based detecting availabilities of the simulation, preliminary evaluation model, and theoretical model are compared under new simulating conditions, which verifies the correctness and robustness of the theoretical. The model in this work could be used as a reference value for evaluating the space-based optical detection system’s availability..
