The numerical simulation focused on the evolution process of the mid-infrared ultrashort pulse in fluorine fiber laser. The impact of the Er3+: fluorine gain fiber length and the saturable absorber unsaturated loss on the generation of mode-locked pulse was analyzed in detail, and the reasonable parameter range was determined. It is found that for a given set of small-signal gain, unsaturated loss, and net intracavity dispersion, the stable mode-locked pulses are achieved by tuning the Er3+: fluorine gain fiber length within a certain range. With increasing the Er3+: fluorine gain fiber length, the output pulse duration decreased gradually, while the increase of the spectrum width (FWHM) and the peak power are observed. Meanwhile, for a given set of Er3+: fluorine gain fiber length, net intracavity dispersion and small-signal gain, the stable mode-locked pulses are also obtained by adjusting the saturable absorber unsaturated loss within a certain range. With the increase of the saturable absorber unsaturated loss, the output pulse duration decreases gradually, however spectral width broadens and then narrows, and peak power increases gradually..

The orientation parameters calibration was the critical technique of the system as it could solve the problem between the large measurement scale and high accuracy. This paper focused on a novel orientation parameter calibration method by using high precise three-dimensional coordinate control network after the mathematic model of the system was stated. Several calibration points with known coordinates were set in the workspace to establish the precise 3D coordinate control network. After the novel model of orientation parameters calibration had been explained, both calculation method for optimization and the produce of the initial iteration value were given. As indicated by the results of the verifying experiment, the accuracy and efficiency of the orientation calibration could be distinctly improved by using the proposed method. The experimental data show that the 3D coordinate measurement error is less than 0.15 mm as a merit of the proposed method..

Liu Haiqing, Yang Linghui, Ren Yongjie, and Zhu Jigui
A large-scale 3D coordinate measurement method based on orthogonal cylindrical imaging cameras was proposed. The camera was consisted of one orthogonal cylindrical imaging system and two orthogonal linear CCDs, which were used to detect the horizontal angle and vertical angle of a measurement point, respectively. One cA large-scale 3D coordinate measurement method based on orthogonal cylindrical imaging cameras was proposed. The camera was consisted of one orthogonal cylindrical imaging system and two orthogonal linear CCDs, which were used to detect the horizontal angle and vertical angle of a measurement point, respectively. One camera determined two angles, therefore, the 3D coordinate of the measurement point can be measured by the intersection of two cameras. The proposed method has prominent advantages in precise coordinate measurement and especially in dynamic position-tracking. A flexible intrinsic parameters calibration method was used to calibrate the orthogonal cylindrical imaging cameras. After intrinsic parameters calibration, the average of angle measurement error in the horizontal and vertical direction of the camera is 1.85″ and 2.16″, respectively. In addition, the extrinsic parameters calibration of the two cameras is also introduced. After extrinsic parameters calibration, the coordinate measurement accuracy of the system is better than 0.52 mm. The experimental results show that the proposed 3D coordinate measurement method is valid with good measurement accuracy..

A Wavelength Division MAs the investigation deepened, it is necessary to detect the hydrogen concentration with large quantities of points, in the field of nuclear power station, aerocraft engine, gaseous fuel, et al, but the existing optical fiber hydrogen sensing systems are able to measure only one point at a time. A Wavelength Division Multiplexed(WDM) optical fiber hydrogen sensing system was proposed for the detection of multi-point hydrogen. The topology, principle and advantage of WDM optical fiber hydrogen sensing system were expatiated, and the technical feasibility of the novel system was introduced in detail.According to the analysis, a WDM optical fiber hydrogen sensing system was assembled with four measuring channels using the components well developed in the telecommunication industry, and an additional scheme was also developed for the hydrogen experiment. The results show that the novel optical fiber hydrogen sensing system is able to measure multi-point hydrogen simultaneously, and different measuring channels do not interfere with one another by measuring spectral evolvement and power of the optical signal. The performance test shows that good stability(less than ±1% in an hour) and small error(less than ±2%) are achieved within the measuring range from 0 to 4%. The research results will provide a valuable reference for the optical fiber hydrogen sensing system to measure the hydrogen concentration with large quantities of points..

Consequently, in order to keep the high level pointing accuracy, it is necessary to build steady foundation to support the high accurate azimuth track. Based on the closed method, the accuracy of foundation settlements and track was measured by the precise leveling survey system for total 11 times from July 2012 to July 2015. The results show that the foundation tends to even settlement and the root mean square error of the track surface is 0.47 mm. At the same time, the results also show that there are relevant between foundation settlements and track heights with variation of the azimuth angle, which illustrates that the foundation settlements directly affect on the track accuracy. In addition, the methods of experiment, simulation and theory were combined to analyze the azimuth axis errors induced by the track unevenness in the east-west and south-north direction. Firstly, the measured track data were linear interpolated and, at some azimuth angle, the heights of some 6 supporting points of azimuth wheels were extracted. Then, the constrained boundary conditions of height differences were applied to the finite element model. Finally, the azimuth axis tilts at different azimuth angles were obtained by simulating. Simultaneously, the track unevenness was measured by inclinometer. The relationship between the azimuth axis tilt and corresponding azimuth angle and the x and y data measured by inclinometer was established and the curve of the variation of the azimuth axis tilt with the azimuth angle was achieved. The simulation results show a good agreement with the theoretical analysis and the effect of track unevenness on the pointing accuracy is within ±4 arcsec, which provides basis for the pointing model modification..

A method of using wavelet transform to correct the baseline was proposed to eliminate the baseline drift during its application. Through the analysis of the influences of the different wavelet functions and decomposition layers on the results of baseline correction, the original spectrum was decomposed by wavelet transforms to get detail coefficients and approximate coefficients, and set the approximate coefficients to zero, the spectrum was reconstituted to realize the baseline correction. In the end, the results were compared with the results of the threshold fitting correction. The results show that the correlation coefficient of the two methods is 0.999 9 and the results are consistent, but the method of wavelet transform is more than ten times the time of the procedure. It is proved that using wavelet transform to carry out the baseline correction of spatial heterodyne interferometry is an effective, time saving and convenient method..

However, due to be restricted by light-intensity distribution characteristics, almost all of the side-view-image methods were of low applicability. In order to improve the applicability of side-view-image methods, a new alignment algorithm based on the peak′s sharpness degree of correlation coefficient profile was developed. Correlation coefficient profiles were acquired by calculating the correlation among light-intensity profiles, then the peak′s sharpness degree of correlation coefficient profiles was denoted as characteristic value. Compared with traditional side-view-image methods, the novel method was not restricted by light-intensity characteristics, so it shows excellent applicability. To improve the precision of angle orientation, alignment accuracy was measured on different observation planes in a series of experiments and the observation position with high alignment precision was acquired. Finally, the alignment precision of these position was analyzed with the help of practical experiment. According to the experiment result, alignment accuracy better than 0.9° is achieved..

As one of reciprocity noises in RFOG, input intensity fluctuation of fiber ring resonator(FRR) would lead to detection error. Firstly, the mechanism of noise induced by FRR input intensity fluctuation was investigated. Transmission characters of FRR and demodulation output with different input intensities were researched theoretically and experimentally. The expression of detection error caused by input intensity fluctuation was derived. When rotation rate was 500 (°)/s and input intensity was 0.69 mW, a variation of 0.007 5 mW would cause an error as large as 5.26 (°)/s. Secondly, the effect of input intensity fluctuation on scale factor was studied. It was found that the linear region of demodulation curve would be distorted as input intensity fluctuation increase and scale factor nonlinearity of gyro output would deteriorate too. This work proved a reference for estimating input intensity fluctuation noise in a RFOG system..

Single-frequency Nd:YAG non-planar ring oscillators(NPROs) were developed, with linewidth smaller than 1 kHz and relative intensity noise(RIN) lower than -150 dB/Hz. An optical phase locking loop was constructed and phase locking of two NPRO lasers was realized with -67 dBm signal laser power. The analog communication experiment was conducted at the signal frequency is 10 MHz and 1.25 GHz. When the signal light power is -60 dBm or -53 dBm, respectively, relative ideal eye diagram could be observed. In the digital communication experiment, the receiver sensitivity is -50 dBm at 2.5 Gbps transmission rate, the bit error(BER) is 3.2×10-6. System sensitivity of quantum limit could be approached, which is much better than that in traditional IM/DD mode. This performance is suitable for long distance, large capacity space communication..

Active constrained layer damping treatments, which apply piezoelectric actuators and viscoelastic materials to flexible structures, promise to be an effective means of vibration suppression in flexible structures. A finite element model for active constrained layer damping treatments was developed and a proportional derivative control law was applied on piezoelectric ceramics. Effects of key parameters, such as viscoelastic layer thickness and control gain were investigated. It is shown that the increase of viscoelastic layer thickness and control gain could both enhance the damping capability. However, the actuation ability of piezoelectric ceramics is reduced by the viscoelastic layer. Analysis results of the telescope indicate that natural frequencies of the supporting structure decrease slightly after employing active constrained layer damping treatments. However, the frequency response at the secondary mirror is suppressed apparently and the surface accuracy is improved as well..

From the perspective of engineering exploration, a new symmetry structure compacted with symmetry prisms to improve the ring resonator performance was put forward and discussed in the first time. The propagation property of the laser beam and the stress distribution in prisms of those two kinds of resonators was analyzed by theoretical computation and finite element analysis method. Results show that, as for the laser resonator that wavelength is 632.8 nm, the symmetry structure has a symmetry stress distribution, and the value is much lower than that in asymmetry one in prism by 15%. Compared with the asymmetry cavity′s output energy, the deviation extent of the symmetry one decreased more than 52.63% in one excitation period. From the results of simulation, using the symmetry resonator structure could reduce the stress induced birefringence in prism and off-axis range of the laser beam trajectory in the cavity, and improve the stability of output laser intensity and output signal quality effectively. The symmetry structure provides a new way for optimization design and reduction amplitude modulation for the ring resonator..

The drift characteristic of the response matrix was analyzed in the beginning, which attribute mainly to the temperature varying and nonlinearity of the actuator, and the principle of the LSSVM and its updating mechanism were introduced in the following. The optical and electro-mechanical integrated model was built in the early stage for the study of the deformable mirror, and the LSSVM model was combined into the simulation model. When the deformable mirror run in the integrated model, the control voltages and the surface profile data were collected. The data were send to the LSSVM model for the online training and updating, and the control voltages for the following step were predicted by the LSSVM model at the same time. The deformable mirror which employing 97 actuators was taken as an example to illustrate the above processes, and the simulation results were presented in details. It could conclude that the LSSVM use for the online modeling of the control voltage of the deformable mirror is adaptive and self-refreshing, so it could improve the control precision of the adaptive optical system.上海技术物理研究所创新基金(2014-CX25).

But it′s difficult to develop a fast, robust and automatically processing algorithm for some reasons: there are too many stars which have similar appearance with targets in space image and the observation platform moves irregularly. Based on analyzing star image model, a method of space target detection was proposed by triangle matching and maximum projection. First step is the sequence images registration with feature triangle and for reducing computation, the star centroid coordinate matrix was calculated. Then the maximum projection transformation for image sequences was used for detecting the moving small targets. Finally, simulation and test demonstrate the method can achieve real time and accurate targets detection with 200 sequence images..

The incidence angle difference of object points to different lenses was considered in this model, which determined the registration accuracy. In this way, the relationships of registration accuracy, lens center distance and object distance were analyzed. Finally, considering the angular resolution of detectors and optical axis calibration accuracy, computational formula of the distance range of pixel-level registration of separate optical axis system was given, which could be adjusted for variable close range image registration by the initial angle of two optical axes and the pixel translation of the image. Calculation results indicate that the separate optical axis system can achieve pixel-level registration from a closest distance to infinity, when the optical axes are parallel. If the system is adjusted to register for a closer distance, the registration range will become finite. Smaller lens center distance and higher optical axis calibration accuracy will help to expand the registration range. Finally, with the calculated registration range and the measured target distance, the variable close range image registration of infrared and visible light image fusion system with separate optical axis structure has been achieved..

On the basis, the irradiation characteristics of laser quads on vacuum cylindrical hohlraum wall were analyzed, and the laser quads arrangement was optimized preliminarily according to all the spots arrangement on hohlraum wall. Results indicate that, with the increasing of the incident angle of laser quads, the spot size of laser quads on hohlraum wall decreases, while the fractional hot spot has no significant change, and the polarization characteristics also remain almost unchanged. By further analysis of the intensity distribution and fractional hot spot of all the laser quads on hohlraum wall, it indicates that the overlap of the inner and outer cones on the hohlraum wall increases the peak intensity and raises the proportion of the hot spot in relevant area. By appropriate adjustment of the location of the focal plane and the incident angle of the inner cone laser quads, the irradiation characteristics of all the laser quads on hohlraum wall may be improved..

In order to obtain a high-quality X-ray source featured with high luminance, quasi-monchromaticity and good contrast, the changes in the structure of matters and materials are often investigated to enhance the absorbability of the ultra intense laser energy and improve the conversion efficiency from the laser radiation to the X-ray. Based on a porous structure principle, the velvet Cu targets were developed with a diameter of 200 nm and the density ratio of 70% solids of Cu. Experiments had been carried out on XG-Ⅲ laser facility in Laser Fusion Research Center, China Academy of Engineering Physics. The laser intensities in these experiments ranged from 4.3 J to 6 J on the target surface. A single-photon- counting X-ray CCD was used to measure Kα spectrum of the X-ray source. The X-ray yield was counted to achieve Kα peak photons of 3.6×108 photons·sr-1·s-1 from femtosecond irradiated velvet Cu target. The Kα X-ray conversion efficiency (CE) reaches the maximum value 0.008 68%. Compared with the average CE of the pressed foil Cu target, that of velvet Cu increased 1.2 times. The experimental data showed that the velvet structure can effectively enhance the energy absorption of femtosecond laser and improve the conversion efficiency from the ultra-intense laser to the hot electron and X-ray..

Considering the selective laser melting process characteristics, through an algorithm, a skinned super-light quasi-honeycomb structure part model with a preset porosity can be automatically designed by transforming an original CAD model. And the new part model data format can direct drive a selective laser melting machine for additive manufacturing without any data format transformation. The construction and design method of the skinned super-light structure of metal part were studied. Through process analysis, appropriate processing unit length and reasonable skin tissue of super-light structure metal part were gotten. The above method was tested successfully on a part model with complex shape in a selective laser melting experiment. The error of porosity is 2.79%, which means that this method can accurately reduce part mass according to preset porosity value. Therefore, in this way, skinned super-light structure part can be design automatically and quickly based on an original CAD model without super-light structure, the burden to design this kind of parts will be greatly reduced, and the practicability of the parts made through this method will be improved greatly..

Firstly, a mathematical model of installation error was established according to Euler transformation of coordinate systems. Secondly, a new ground calibration strategy of installation error based on three typically-selected positions on a triaxial precise turntable was put forward. The least square method and three positions method were adopted to conduct simulation contrast experiments. Simulation results demonstrate that calibration result stability of three positions method increases by nearly 10 times than calibration result stability of least square method.

Ballistic coefficient of more than 2 000 space debris objects with perigee height below 850 km were estimated using the long-archived two-line elements(TLE) data and the drag perturbation equation of the semi-major axis of the orbit. Two applications of estimated ballistic coefficient values were discussed. In the first experiment, ballistic coefficient of 14 LEO space debris objects with high area to mass ratio(HAMR) were re-computed after TLEs of suspicious quality were removed through a TLE quality examination process in which the ballistic coefficient value was used to estimate a reasonable variation of the mean semi-major axis. Consequently, the errors of all the re-computed ballistic coefficient values were reduced. The newly estimated ballistic coefficient values were tested using a number of space debris objects with external ballistic coefficient values and agreements of about 20% were achieved. In the second experiment, ballistic coefficient of GRACE-B was used as initial value in the so-called TLE-OD/OP method. It is confirmed that the TLE-OD/OP method results have better OP accuracy than standard Simplified General Perturbations-4(SGP4)..

The apparent magnitude of navigation stars for optical autonomous navigation was high. In order to obtain the clear star image, the star tracker′s focal length and exposure time were long. Besides, star trackers were easily influenced by complicated motion. All these reasons resulted to the blurring and smearing star images. What was worse, it was difficult to restore the blurred star images by hardware methods. Studying the modeling method based on complicated motion was helpful to make sense the influence on the image quality which was caused by relative motion between the star tracker and the navigation star and to restore blurred star images by software methods. So that the star tracker′s dynamic performance was improved. It was hard to simulate blurred star images which were caused by the complicated motion of star trackers for the lack of definite motion models. The angular motion and vibration were analyzed and an innovative method was proposed to simulate the blurred star images and then the step-by-step simulation method was compared with the new method in this paper. The simulation results indicated that the simulation method based on the separable kernel could describe the real physical image process better than the step-by-step method and the complicated motion had great influence on the extraction errors of star spot centroids, even leading to the failure of attitude determination of star trackers..

So, a method of true color image synthesis based on the information of artificial target was proposed by laying the man-made targets when the satellite passes. And, the transformation matrix between camera′s RGB trichromatic system and human being′s visual color system was estimated from the reflectance spectrum of man-made targets. Eventually, the suitable true color correction model was established in the certain atmospheric conditions. Experiment of true color correction was conducted on the multi-spectral images of GF-1 satellite, and the results show that good color correction effects has been exhibited on even every image with different degrees of color′s richness..
