At the receiving position, a pair of correlated amplitude and phase screens was used to simulate the turbulent effects. For the situation of satellite to ground laser communication, firstly, the double infinite integral forms of the amplitude autocorrelation, phase autocorrelation and amplitude-phase cross-correlation functions were reduced to the forms of single integral; and then, according to these correlation functions, a pair of correlated amplitude and phase screens was simulated by using the covariance-based random screen simulation method. The conformities between the simulated structure functions and the theoretical ones were compared. The outer scale and inner scale of atmospheric can be considered in this simulation method..

Ke Xizheng, and Wang Wanting
The generalized Huygens-Fresnel principle and the cross-spectral density function were used to derive the expressions of beam width and angular spread of partially coherent Gaussian-Schell beam when it was propagating in the atmosphere on the basis of the model of the modified Von Karmon spectrum and the atmospheric reThe generalized Huygens-Fresnel principle and the cross-spectral density function were used to derive the expressions of beam width and angular spread of partially coherent Gaussian-Schell beam when it was propagating in the atmosphere on the basis of the model of the modified Von Karmon spectrum and the atmospheric refractive-index structure constant issued by ITU-R. And then, the impact on the beam propagating in the slant and horizontal ways, caused by the zenith, the transmission distance, the turbulent intensity, the coherent length of the beam and other parameters, were discussed and compared. The impact of the parameters on the ability of anti-turbulence of the beam was analyzed from the perspective of the relative expansion and the relative angular spread respectively and a series of concrete explanations were given. The research results demonstrate that the expansion and the angular spread of the beam suffer little effect from the turbulence during slant path when the zenith is less than π/3, which is close to vertical transmission. The beam width and the relative beam width of the beam increase with the increasing transmission distance significantly when the distance is greater than 1 km. The larger the coherent length of the beam is, the greater the impact of the turbulence suffers, while the expansion and the angular spread decrease..

An approach was proposed for determining cirrus height based on multiple scattering factors and the extinction coefficients of cirrus were corrected by the factors. With multiple scattering factors and the extinction coefficients, the error of the cirrus-height was computed. Finally, the precise lidar cloud detection retrieval was achieved preliminarily. In the improved method of retrieving the lidar ratio with multiple scattering, the nonlinear equations with cirrus lidar ratio and cirrus extinction coefficient as variables were constructed, and the particle swarm optimization algorithm was used to solve the equations, the extinction coefficient of the cirrus's top and the lidar ratio of cirrus clouds were acquired. Then, through the PLATT′s multiple scattering equation and the ratio of total scattering and signal scattering calculated by semi-analytic Monte Carlo method, the lidar ratio was obtained. The experiment was carried on based on the proposed method, using the real return signals of the ground-based lidar. It is turned out that the proposed technique has the advantages of high accuracy.

Joint inversionJoint observation using Lidar and millimeter wave cloud radar(MWCR) from which more comprehensive properties of cirrus can be retrieved is the main trend of cirrus observation. Combining the information of cirrus boundary from Lidar and MWCR of ARM project, more accurate boundary of cirrus was obtained. Joint inversion method for retrieving cirrus microphysical properties was presented.

Theoretical analysis indicateA high-accuracy calibration method for angular measurement of deformed and curved Moiré patterns, based on template matching algorithm, was presented. It was feasible and accurate method, based on Talbot interferometry and Moiré deflectometry, to measure long focal-length lenses. Theoretical analysis indicated that the precision of this method was mainly influenced by the angle of Moiré patterns. However, it was difficult to obtain high-accuracy angle of Moiré patterns, since the Moiré patterns derived from experiment were constantly deformed or curved. A method based on template matching algorithm, was demontrated to calibrate deformed and curved Moiré patterns, thus their angle can be calculated fast and accurately in sub-pixel domain. Numerical analysis and simulation prove that the method mentioned above demonstrates high precision and stability, and experiment results show that the accuracy of the long focal lengths measurement is improved obviously..

Firstly, an algorithm of extracting the round marks of calibration plate was proposed. Sub-pixel contours of marks were extracted by edge detection algorithm based on adaptive threshold and polynomial fitting, then the center coordinates can be computed by ellipse fitting method. Then, on the basis of analyzing camera distortion model, the optimal solution of internal parameters and plate poses were obtained using least square method. Finally, the pose of measuring plane was transformed by depth information as a correction term between parts surface and calibration plate. The dimensions could be calculated using imaging principle and the intersection point of the line and the part surface. Measurement system was designed and experiments were carried out. The result shows that the calibration back-projection error is less than 0.02 pixel and the precision of the system is up to 0.05 mm in the range of 1×0.75 m2..

X-ray dTo study the evolution of refractive inhomogeneity in hafnia thin films, single layers with different thickness were prepared on BK7 substrates by Electron Beam(EB) evaporation process. The spectral measurements showed that the inhomogeneity of HfO 2 thin films was significantly affected by the layer thickness. X-ray diffraction(XRD) measurements showed that the crystalline microstructure of HfO 2 thin films had direct influence on their inhomogeneity and the microstructure was determined by thin film growth mechanism. Due to amophous surface of BK7, thinner films are hard to crystallize and the refractive index of the HfO 2 thin films are prone to the positive inhomogeneity. If the deposition temperature is high enough, films reaching a certain thickness begin to crystallize, which causes more and bigger voids in the film and results in negative inhomogeneity. When film grows thick engough, the microstructure tends to being stable, and the layer inhomogeneity is independent of thickness and fixed to a certain value..

Without consideration of noise influence, simulation experiment for a sub-image of ISO12233 standard resolution card was performed on Matlab. Experiment results illustrate that, when fill factor is 100%, compared with common imaging mode of array CCD, gray mean gradient (GMG) of diagonal subpixel and four-point subpixel imaging mode was increased by 2.997 0, 3.413 6 respectively, and energy of Laplacian(EOL) is enhanced by 0.567 6, 0.747 8 respectively. With the same fill factor other than 100%, GMGs and EOLs of common imaging mode, diagonal subpixel imaging mode, and four-point subpixel mode are increasing in that order too. For four-point subpixel imaging mode, GMG of 69%, 44%, 25% fill factor is improved by 1.433 0, 3.337 3, 5.153 2 respectively compared with that of 100% fill factor, and EOL increased by 0.638 0, 1.704 4, 3.196 8 respectively. With the same imaging mode other than four-point subpixel, GMGs and EOLs of images obtained with CCDs whose fill factor is 100%, 69%, 44%, 25% increase too. Research shows that subpixel technique of array CCD can improve image quality, and four-point subpixel imaging mode provides more improvement on image quality than diagonal subpixel imaging mode. In the condition of signal-to-noise ratio is met, the image quality performance becomes better when fill factor decrease for the same CCD imaging mode..

Therefore, by studying the influences of temperature on the hole transportation during the electrochemical corrosion process, better understanding about the process of electrochemical etching Si microchannel can be expected. Using n-type monocrystalline silicon with (100) crystallographic orientation as the research subject, an electrochemical light assisted anode oxidation method was devised for getting the I-V curves, the morphology and the depth of microchannel at the different temperature. According to the relevant principles of the scattering mechanism in the crystal, the relationships between the temperature and the carrier mobility and the diffusion coefficient were also studied and the relationship between the temperature and the dark current was finally found. Based on the further analysis regarding to the above results, it is concluded that the lower temperature caused the less current density produced by the hole transportation and the lower value of dark current. Thus, the well-defined microchannels can be achieved by using the electrochemical corrosion method at low temperature..

The receiving power of photodetector is limited when receiver is in the corners of the room due to the larger receiving angle, thus the signal to noise ratio(SNR) is decreased. The design method of tilting receiver plane was proposed to obtain the maximum in each place of the room including the Non-Line-of-Sight(NLOS) link. In this paper, the Line-of-Sight(LOS) was not only considered, but also the NLOS link was considered for the method of tilting the receiving plane. Newton method was employed to find the optimal tilting angle of receiver in each positon of the room and the iteration numbers of this algorithm were about three or four steps which was very fast. The simulation results show that the minimum SNR is increased 5 dB and the maximum and average SNR are both increased 2 dB. Especially, the SNR in the corners of the room is obviously increased..

The cause and manifestation of the phase ambiguity phenomenon and the influence of the phase ambiguity phenomenon on system performance as well as the relationship between the maximum detectable strain and the spatial resolution of the sensing system were studied theoretically, and demonstrated by Matlab simulation. The results show that the phase ambiguity phenomenon is the main factor that limits the strain measurement range of the φ-OTDR based vibration sensing system, and it may cause mistakes in the measurement of vibration frequency and amplitude, and a failure in reporting large strain information. And the higher the spatial resolution, the larger the detectable strain range, which indicates that the φ-OTDR based vibration sensing system is very suitable for applications in the measurement with high spatial resolution. This study provides a theoretical support for the parameter design and optimization of the sensing system..

It is obvious that this process is complicated and inefficient. Moreover, when the model was transferred from 3D modeling software to optical simulation software, the file format had to be changed to solve the problem of the software compatibility. Note that some subtle changes were inevitably introduced to the model by such an operation, such as the generation of cracks or tiny deformation which would seriously affect the light efficiency and the degree of illumination uniformity. A new design method was presented in this paper which was used to directly generate model in the optical simulation software by using Scheme language. In this paper, the method of mesh division was applied to design the LED free-form surface lens with rectangular lighting. After the corresponding surface configuration was obtained, 3D modeling software and the Scheme language programming were used to generate lens model respectively. With the help of optical simulation software, a light source with the size of 1 mm in diameter was used in experiment, in which total one million rays were computed. The simulated results could be acquired by both models. It can be seen that the model deformation problems caused by the process of the model transfer could be prevented by using Scheme language, and the degree of illumination uniformity was also increased from 67% to 93.5%. Meanwhile, only 5 seconds were needed in modeling process by Scheme language which was more efficient than 3D modeling software..

The In order to overcome the insufficient of the light energy diffracted by common two dimension grating in dynamic interferometry， diffraction efficiency of the cross phase grating and phase chessboard were derived using scalar analysis and Fourier method, and selection scheme of optimum operation orders was studied. The analytical result of their diffraction efficiency demonstrates that if the cross phase grating is chosen, the(0, ±1)th and(±1,0)th orders should be selected as operation orders, and utilization rate can reach 54.4%; If the phase chessboard is chosen, (±1，±1)th orders is selected as operation ones, and utilization rate can reach 65%. Application effect of these two phase grating are compared in dynamic interferometer. When (±1，±1)th is selected as operation orders, the experimental results indicates that application effect of phase chessboard is better than that of cross phase grating. So influence of insufficient light energy on the measurement result can be eliminated by using phase chessboard and selecting (±1，±1)th as operation orders..

Therefore, a novel equivalent static wedge was proposed. It consists of two different refractive index material, and two reflective surfaces perfectly vertical. Because interference of two beams of light is derived from a beam of light, it is not strictly required about spatial coherence. Moreover, it contains zero optical path difference. By deducing and analyzing the optical path difference of the arbitrary wedge position, the formula of spectral inversion was deduced. Then the wedge was designed and processed by using two materials which were different refractive index, and its maximum optical path difference could reach 168.3 μm. And the process of spectral inversion was simulated. Combining maximum optical path difference with the measured spectral band, the requirement of the linear CCD pixel count was analyzed. The wedge was analyzed by experiments which use 532 nm and 632.8 nm lasers. The results show that the spectral inversion center wavelength error is less than 0.2%..

Taking welding temperature field as an example, the spatial variability and distribution of temperature field were analyzed and forecasted by sample points through OK, IDW and spline methods, respectively. The results show that different interpolation methods do not significantly influence on reconstruction accuracy and the amount of sample points significantly affect the prediction accuracy of the spatial distribution of temperature field. In the temperature field evaluation, 25 sample points are more suitable for the sample number. Comparing with the sample number of our results with the formula, it was found that calculation sample number by optimum formula is significantly lower than our results. It show that if we do not consider the spatial variation and only use the formula will lead to uncertainty in temperature field reconstruction..

The Y2O2S:Yb,Er material with an 1.5 μm peak absorption and a 980 nm peak emission was prepared through an improved sulfur melting method, and was coated on a 900 mm×900 mm aluminum plate to form a target. Due to the fact that the prepared material has a relative low conversion efficiency and a long fluorescence radiating period, which tends to broaden the exciting laser pulse, the target was then excited by a laser pulse of 1 550 nm wavelength, 8 ns pulse width and 5 mJ/pulse energy. The image of the target was collected by a BASLER camera with a 1 000 nm cutoff wavelength. A dedicated band pass filter with a 980 nm central wavelength and a 100 nm bandwidth was employed to suppress the interference caused by ambient light, realizing a higher signal to noise ratio. The excited spot was extracted from the acquired image of the target through simple frame differentiating image processing, so as to achieve far range detection and recognition. Test results obtained respectively at 50 m, 55 m, 60 m, 65 m, 70 m and 76 m indicate that the recognition rate reaches 98.3%..

Secondly, the spectral residual of the pre-processed image was extracted in the log spectrum, then via corresponding inverse transform and threshold segmentation we could get the rough regions of the salient objects. Finally, a sliding window was applied to acquire the explicit position of the salient objects using the probabilistic interpretation of the semi-local feature contrast which was estimated by comparing the gray level distribution of the object and the surrounding area in the original image. And changing the size of the sliding window, different size of objects could be found out.

Due to the frequency modulation rate and frequency nonlinear, the traditional frequency modulated mode can′t be applied on the high-speed platform. In this article, combined with optical communication modulation method, the functions of synthetic aperture ladar imaging based on the pseudo code intensity modulation were deduced in detail and the compression performances of M codes were simulated simultaneously. By analyzing the ambiguity function, it proves that the pseudo code intensity modulation signal is not affected by the multi value ambiguity or the intercoupling error.

On the basis, the influence of the different tilted angles from tilted-pulse-frOptical rectification is one of the important techniques for efficient generation of terahertz pulses. The theoretical model of the optical-to-terahertz conversion efficiency in optical rectification by tilted-pulse-front pumping was built. On the basis, the influence of the different tilted angles from tilted-pulse-front pumping on the conversion efficiency was compared. The effect of the important factors on the optical-terahertz conversion efficiency was analyzed quantitatively, and the influence of the parameters of both the crystals and the femtosecond pulses on the conversion efficiency was discussed. The results show that the influence of the titled angle on the optical-terahertz conversion efficiency was very obvious. The optical-terahertz conversion efficiency increases first and then decreases with the increasing of the pulse duration, where as it increases with the intensity pump pulses. In addition, the optical-terahertz conversion efficiency decreases rapidly with the increasing of the absorption, while increases and then remains unchanged with the increasing thickness of the crystal. Hence it is not only necessary to take measures to meet phase-matching condition as far as possible and decrease the terahertz absorption in the crystal, but also choose optimal parameters of the femtosecond pulse and the nonlinear crystal..

The mode-matching and fringe locking technique should be employed to improve the stability of the optical parametric oscillator cavity. How the mode-matching efficiency influence the squeezing degree of the squeezed light and the locking accuracy of the fringe locking technique were analyzed theoretically. Then the fringe locking technique was employed to stabilize the optical parametric oscillator cavity after the mode-matching between the laser mode and the fundamental mode of the cavity. The theoretical and experimental results show that a perfect mode-matching would improve the squeezing degree and the locking accuracy of the fringe locking technique, when the mode-matching is optimized, the length variance of the cavity is 7.35 nm and the locking time is no less than 2 h, which is sufficient for the detection of the squeezed states of light..

This model took account of the temperature-material properties and the powder-to-solid transition by converting the powder thermophysical properties to the solid thermophysical properties. The FE model consisted of two layers of elements. The simulation results are in good agreement with the single track experiment result. The effects of scan speed (0.2 m/s, 0.4 m/s, 0.6 m/s) and laser power (80 W, 100 W, 120 W) on the temperature field were investigated. Simulation results show that the point of peak temperature slightly shifted toward the back of the laser beam rather than the center of laser beam when the laser beam moves. The peak temperature as well as the thermal gradient increases with increasing laser power and decreasing scan speed..

Li Wenchao, Zhao Lingling, Li Zhiquan, Zhu Jun, Tong Kai, and Wang Zhibin
An improved metal-insulator-metal(MIM) waveguide structure was used to realize the potential of surface plasmon amplification by stimulated emission of radiation(SPASER) as amplification, although a major problem is that the net gain of SPASER equals zero, which makes it unsuitable for amplification. With the use of a An improved metal-insulator-metal(MIM) waveguide structure was used to realize the potential of surface plasmon amplification by stimulated emission of radiation(SPASER) as amplification, although a major problem is that the net gain of SPASER equals zero, which makes it unsuitable for amplification. With the use of a theoretical Hamiltonian model as basis, the lasing conditions were obtained. The numerical calculations of these conditions show that overcoming the inherent feedback and eliminating the surface plasmon(SP) net gain are feasible by using the improved MIM waveguide structure, which can achieve stable SP excitons in less than 100 fs. This study shows that the improved SPASER amplifies with a response time of 100 fs, a bandwidth of 1.5-2.0 THz, and an SP gain of 30-60 dB. SPASER amplifier research provides theoretical and technological foundation for large-scale integrated photonic chips..

The field of view(FOV) of GISC lidar is independent from its image resolution, and can obtain high resolution image of moving targets with a large FOV. While flasGhost Image via Sparsity Constraints(GISC) lidar is a novel image lidar system which combines the light field coherence theory and modern information theory. The field of view(FOV) of GISC lidar is independent from its image resolution, and can obtain high resolution image of moving targets with a large FOV. While flash imaging lidar divides the intensity of target image into many small pixels of array charge-coupled device(CCD) camera on the imaging plane, GISC lidar uses a single pixel detector without spatial resolution to collect the entire reflective light intensity, which can greatly increase its detection sensitivity. Besides, based on various sparsity constraints of the target, GISC lidar can greatly improve imaging speed with much less samples compared to Nyquist Sampling requirement. Current development of GISC lidar based on the research experience of SIOM was introduced. Finally, the topics which need further investigation to improve the performance of GISC lidar in real application were also presented..
