Identifying the star partially and setting the approximate position are needed when using digital zenith camera to orient. The scope is around the approximate position during star identification partially. Generally, the scope is usually replaced by field of view angle of digital zenith camera. Actually, this is not correct. The scope of star identification partially was deduced based on the analysis of the field of view angle of digital zenith camera. Then, the approximate position was analyzed according to the scope. The experimental data demonstrates that the range of longitude and latitude of identified stars should be above the field of view angle of digital zenith camera. Also, the recognized star number will rise when the approximate position is close to the true position..

Dong Dengfeng, Cheng Zhi, Zhou Weihu, Ji Rongyi, and Liu Xin
Laser tracker is an important optical instrument for precise geometric coordinate measurement in large scale. Position sensitive detector(PSD) is a core miss-distance detecting sensor in laser tracking system, which achieves precise position tracking of cooperation target. The detecting precision has remarkably direct Laser tracker is an important optical instrument for precise geometric coordinate measurement in large scale. Position sensitive detector(PSD) is a core miss-distance detecting sensor in laser tracking system, which achieves precise position tracking of cooperation target. The detecting precision has remarkably direct influence on the performance of tracking and measurement. Firstly, one laser tracking measurement system was presented, and the working principle of the system′s tracking unit based on PSD was introduced. Then the miss-distance detecting module was designed and built based on PSD according to the actual demand. The module′s signal process circuit for weak signal detection was emphatically analysed, which met the requirements of PSD driving, I/V conversion, signal amplification, analogy signal filtering, parameter matching and efficient using of AD resources simultaneously. The output signal of PSD module was acquired by a four-channel and synchronous analogy to digital converter. The signal was processed by FPGA which worked in the form of finite state machine. A composite digital filtering algorithm revised from median and mean filtering method was proposed to reduce noise interfering. Based on FPGA an extended divider was put forward to improve accuracy of measurement. Through omitting the low-order byte of the numerator of coordinate formula, one two-step operation of the divider was used to extract effective decimal places. The experimental result shows that the stability of spot position is better than ±2.0 μm in the square effective area 4 mm×4 mm. The further tracking experiment indicates the miss-distance detection method can well meet the demand of the precise and rapid target tracking..

Fan Youchen, Zhao Hongli, Sun Huayan, Guo Huichao, and Zhao Yanzhong
In low-light imaging, range-gated imaging is an effective method to obtain the 3D information of the target. As for the static targets, the different strobe distance target image can be obtained by the target slice imaging, and then the 3D image of the target is obtained by binary algorithm or centroid algorithm. For mIn low-light imaging, range-gated imaging is an effective method to obtain the 3D information of the target. As for the static targets, the different strobe distance target image can be obtained by the target slice imaging, and then the 3D image of the target is obtained by binary algorithm or centroid algorithm. For moving targets, in the same time of slice imaging, the spatial position of the target will change. Therefore, it is necessary to register different distance image before it can get a three-dimensional image of the object. Firstly, the range-gated ICCD experimental system was bulit, and mutual information image registration algorithm based on image quality evaluation was proposed for the image target registration. Then the 3D laser image was obtained by cross-correlation algorithm and the image number of laser image was gradually reduced on the basis of ensuring accuracy. Finally, the experiment of 3D reconstruction was carried out compared with the binary algorithm and centroid algorithm. Experimental results show that mutual information registration algorithm can effectively match laser image, mutual correlation algorithm for 3D imaging accuracy is higher than the binary method and centroid method. The 3D image can be obtained by using the two images, greatly reducing the difficulty of moving targets three-dimensional imaging..

The basical mechanism of this prototype was to realize optical single sideband modulation with an optimum optical carrier-to-sideband ratio(OCSR). To do this, both polarization modulation and optical interleaving technology were employed. The linearly polarized incident light was firstly oriented at an angle of α(α≠0° or 90°) relative to one principal axis of the polarization modulator(PolM), which is biased by Vπ and driven by RF signals. Then a polarizer with its polarization direction β(β≠0° or 90°) relative to one principal axis of the PolM was used to linearize the polarization state. Finally, optical double sideband signal was converted to optical single sideband signal by using a standard optical interleaver. It is found the OCSR is only dependent on the values of two polarization angle, α and β. With careful adjustment, the OCSR can be reduced to 0 dB, which is the optimum value for a single RF tone modulation. The receiver sensitivity of the fibre link is analyzed by theory and then verified by simulation. It can be greatly improved by using this technique..

Each sampled data of FOG were iteratively weighted by weighting function with giving outliers a low weight and allocating a relatively high weight to high quality data. Then the robustness of smoothing filter can be improved evidently. The operation speed of smoothing filtering algorithm is increased effectively by generalized cross validation(GCV) and discrete cosine transform(DCT). Simulation and practicable test results show that the proposed algorithm can restrain the interference by singular sampled signal or random noise of FOG and has better signal tracking capability..

Two kinds of coding fringes were projected onto the object with defocus. Using a phase-shift algorithm, the wrapped phase was obtained by the sinusoidal pulse width modulation fringe, the fringe order was got by the phase coding fringe. Then, the three-dimensional shape of the measurement object can be restored. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method has two merits: (1) It can decrease the measurement error because of filtering the harmonics with slight defocus; (2) It can measure the different contrast object because it is based on phase code..

Cooling capacity is the measure of system′s cooling ability. Based on the datasheet of thermoelectric module and empirical formulas evaluating temperature-dependent parameters, performance curves assuming constant and temperature-dependent material properties were plotted respectively. The standard value of cooling capacity and performance curve were obtained with differential equations for energy conservation along the TE element. Through numerical comparison and analysis, it was found that the maximum absolute error of cooling capacity was 6 W for constant parameters estimated from the datasheet and could be minimized by applying a proper set of constant parameters. The maximum absolute error of cooling capacity was 1.5 W for temperature-dependent parameters calculated with empirical formulas. The accuracy of the numerical model assuming temperature-dependent material peoperties was confirmed and it could be used to accutately evaluate thermoelectric cooling performance..

The proposed method can solve the problems of incremental conductance algorithm′s worse tracking precision under large step and slower tracking speed and larger power fluctuation in the dynamic tracking process under small step tracking. The proposed method consists of two stages: the stage of optimal duty prediction and the stage of MPPT. The stage of optimal duty prediction uses improved PSO to search the working voltage and current near the maximum power point of the photovoltaic cells, next calculates the optimal duty according to the searched voltage and current. This stage can solve the problems of slower tracking speed and larger power fluctuation under small step tracking. The optimal duty is received and the system is controlled by the incremental conductance algorithm when the duty generated by the incremental conductance algorithm is closed to the optimal duty, or the optimal duty is used to control system in the stage of MPPT. Simulation results show that the proposed method can acquire faster tracking speed, have better tracking precision, and reduce the power fluctuation in the dynamic tracking process. So the proposed method can achieve the maximum power point tracking bitterly..

Five mine gases were used for experiment, which included methane, ethane, propane, n-butane and carbon dioxide. Mid-infrared spectral data of these five gases and mixed gases were collected with Fourier infrared spectrometer. 236 groups of these mixed gases were divided into 186 groups for calibration set and 50 groups for validation set. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to reduce the dimensionality of the infrared spectral data, and 3 eigenvalues were extracted as input, which helped to improve convergence speed and reduce calculation time. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) and genetic algorithm (GA) were used to optimize parameters of support vector machine (SVM) method respectively, and PSO was adopted for its better optimization effect over GA. The mixed gases were detected through this algorithm, and experiment results show that the average errors of concentration predictions of five gases are all less than 1.78%, and the maximum errors of concentration predictions of five gases are all less than 4.98%. The time cost for concentration prediction is all less than 103 s for the 50 groups. This suggested that the improved SVM method based on PSO can be used to predict the gas concentration accurately, and can meet the requirement of real-time detection of mine gases, which has great value in the study of concentration prediction of mine gases..

The least-square fitting of orthogonal polynomial was adopted for this algorithm to capture the pod track as well as estimating the measurement precision of the pod coordinate. Further, an error model of the laser indication precision was established and an impact factor of the error source was also calculated according to the analysis of the test error source. It indicates that the error of the sine algorithm is three digit classes lower than the cosine algorithm under a small deviation angle, and it is the best way to reduce the testing error of the laser indication precision by improving the position measurement precision of the laser spot. In addition, this algorithm reduces obviously the calculating error of the pod laser by around 2-3 digit classes, and provides an evidence for the performance demonstration of the measuring system of the laser spot..

An interference fringes method employing a crystal wedge was proposed in this paper, and the measurement for the intrinsic linear birefringence of the crystal inside the sensing head can be realized by measuring the fringes′ displacement. The theoretical deduction of the measuring principle was given taking Jones matrix as a mathematical tool, the application example and the verifying results were also given, which indicates that the intrinsic linear birefringence and its temperature characteristic can introduce an error of about 1% to the voltage sensor. Compared with the traditional intensity method, the measured results of this method are insensitive to the power fluctuation of light source, and there is no adjustment of any optical components during the whole experiment, so no additional error will be induced. The measurement accuracy is improved by about one order of magnitude..

The point-focusing property of a quadrupole lens pair was investigated in this paper, using the electron ray tracing simulation program SIMION. The simulation of electron distribution quantitatively showed that the fringing field at both ends and the aberration in the crossover image caused an electron beam blur. The aberration of a quadrupole lens pair as a function of the electron initial kinetic energy was discussed, and the result indicated that the aberration would be effectively reduced if the kinetic energy of electrons increased. 10 000 electrons were flown in a SIMION simulation and the entry angle α0 is randomly varied so that -1°<α0<1°, the size of diffuse spot at the focal plane reduced to 3.2 μm×28 μm as the kinetic energy of electrons increased to 1×105 eV..

It is known through the analysis that the off-axis optical system′s aberration are still composed of 3rd spherical aberration 3rd coma and 3rd astigmatism. Due to the impact of pupil zoomed factorial, the decrease of the off-axis optical system′s aberration coefficients were different proportion. The higher-order pupil aberration of coaxial system will induce low-order pupil aberration into off-axis mirror system. For example, if the coaxial system is not corrected for 3rd spherical aberration, it will introduce not only the spherical but also the constant coma and astigmatism into off-axis system. The aberration of off-axis system will not be asymmetry by the field center because the induced low-order aberration, and there maybe have an aberration zero point outside the center field of the view..

The approach of concatenation of two-dimensional Magnetic Optical Trap(2D-MOT) and three-dimensional Magnetic Optical Trap(3D-MOT) is generally used to obtain high flux of cold atoms. The magnetic field distribution of 2D-MOT is the key influencing factor in this appliance. In this paper, three different(rectangular, race-track and saddle)mathematical models of Anti-Helmholtz coils in 2D-MOT were established to analyze the magnetic field distribution. Then, the magnetic field zero drift and the change of magnetic field gradient caused by the error of eccentricity, coils asymmetry, parallelism and inside diameter asymmetry were analyzed, which were produced in the manufacture and installation process using finite element analysis. Results show that the magnetic field gradient provided by saddle coils is more conducive to produce high flux of cold atoms when eccentricity error is less than 1.14 mm, coils asymmetry error is less than 0.016 A and parallelism error is less than 1.02°. This work may provide theoretical guidance for the design and fabrication of magnetic system of 2D-MOT of cold atom interferometer..

Analysis of SPP excitation and proSurface plasmon polariton(SPP) are waves that propagate along the metal-dielectric interface with exponentially decaying electromagnetic fields in both sides of the media. The strip surface plasmon waveguide has long been considered a useful device to achieve highly integrated optics. Analysis of SPP excitation and propagation characteristics in the waveguide by relying on a classic model, namely, Drude was presented. This research is conducted from visible light to near infrared incident wavelength. Strip SPP metal waveguide mode field distribution was studied. Results show that when the thickness of the metal remains constant and its width increases, the electromagnetic field distribution becomes increasingly concentrated in both sides of the strips. When the width of the strip is unchanged, thickness increases and the electromagnetic field distribution becomes increasingly focused on the metal inside. A long incident wavelength means that the concentration of metal strip around the electric field is small. Long incident wavelength can also lead to inter-channel interference. That is, having a large wavelength means one must select a wide strip waveguide. This study, which is about spontaneous radiation characteristics from 840 nm to 910 nm strip waveguide, reveals that a small part of radiation is evanescent to the metal area in the surface plasmon evanescent radiation patterns. Application design and analysis indicate that complete transfer of energy only occurs once in the limited transmission distance of the strip SPP waveguide. When the wavelength is long, the concentration field is reduced and coupling is reinforced. The designed coupler can realize optical WDM in 1 310 and 1 550 nm..

To solve the problem, an alternative method was presented in this paper by CARDC (ChinaDue to fast heat conduction of metals, the thermal equilibrium state can be reached within a short period of time, which causes a significant difficulty in measuring the transition of metal models when using infrared thermal imager. To solve the problem, an alternative method was presented in this paper by CARDC (China Aerodynamics Research and Development Center) to spray the thermal-insulating coating on the surface of a metal rotor airfoil model in the Φ3.2 m low speed wind tunnel. Then the infrared thermal imager can be used to measure the temperature distribution, and the transition position of model can be determined through the temperature jump. Since the infrared thermal imager was usually fixed to the test section, therefore, when adjusting the angle of attack, the position of model varied in the obtained infrared images, making it inconvenient to compare the transition positions. Thus, the infrared thermal imager was fixed to the rotating platform during the experiment, to synchronize with the rotation of the model, which eliminated the position difference of model images under different angles of attack. In this way, a highly accurate transition position and a more precise mapping between the infrared thermal images and model coordinates were obtained..

It is widely applied in atomic, molecular physics and optical physics, biomedicine and other fields. Long-term stable locking of the optical frequency doubling cavity is a significant technology for the continuous wave frequency doubling technique, which is directly related to the laser output power stability and reliability. At present, the commercial SHG lasers have off-locking phenomena at different level. In this paper, an automatic locking scheme based on analog integral scanning technique was proposed. With this technique, the system could continuously work in the absence of artificial regulation, and no additional power monitoring and scanning signals were required. The system could automatically restore the locking state after it is out of locking. As a result, the long term and stable SHG laser output is obtained..

With the increasing of laser power, the phenomenon of instauration, saturation and full screen saturation were observed. Pixel upset effect in the maximum laser intensity site of the irradiated CMOS sensor was discovered when the intensity was greater than 1.4 W/cm2 and the full screen saturation had not appeared at this time. Even the laser intensity at the photosensitive surface was up to 95.1 W/cm2, the camera could still image normally when the laser irradiation was terminated. It indicated that the pixel upset effect was not caused by laser damage. Analysis based on the device structure, signal detection and processing of the sensor chip was then carried out. It shows that one possible reason is that the two measurements of pixel output voltage(Vsignal and Vreset) are gradually approaching to each other for the electric charges of photodiode capacitance will be quickly reduced by excessive photo-carriers, and the Vreset will be subtracted from Vsignal in correlated double sampling..

A method for diagnosing electromagnetic pulses(EMP) generated by laser illuminating solid targets was presented. A conical antenna was designed and simulated to obtain the attenuation coefficient, 3D gain and other parameters of the antenna physical model. The in situ monitoring the target process was performed to evaluate the value of electromagnetic radiation and electric voltage, by which the time-domain distribution of electromagnetic impulse was expected. The experimental results indicate that the intensity of electromagnetic radiation is related to many factors, such as the power of laser, the way of laser shooting, and angle of incidence. As for planar targets, if image and material are the same, EMP engendered by laser with different power has the similar energy spectral density(ESD) and the identical characteristic frequency. The results are expected to offer significant experiment information to study physics mechanism regarding the interactions between laser and target, which will also lay foundation for the later EMP shielding design for the important diagnostic facilities in ICF experiment..

However, the mueller matrix deduced by the polarization information collected from the commercial CMOS sensor directly is not correct, which limits the application of commercial micro CMOS sensor in the endoscopic imaging. The study on commercial area CMOS sensor indicates its non-linear input to output mapping relationship for sensed light intensity. Considering the inherent background noise, a calibration-based method was proposed to mapping the output of the CMOS sensor to obtain the correct polarization information for tested samples. Experiment results demonstrate that the correct mueller matrix can be deduced according to the corrected polarization information, and the error compared to the standard air mueller matrix is below 3%. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated by the experiment implemented on silk sample. The results of the proposed method reveal the possibility to apply commercial micro CMOS sensor on the endoscopic tip for in vivo biological tissue mueller matrix measurement..

Currently, scientists have achieved ultra-broad-band antireflection performances through carbon nanotube coatings and silicon nanotip array structures. However, there is still much room for the improvement of the antireflection properties of metal surface micro/nano structures. Based on the next generation high power high repetition rate ultrafast laser system, the Laser Materials Processing Research Grouop in Tsinghua University has successfully fabricated diverse metal surface micro-nano structures and conducted systematic research on their antireflection properties. The average reflectance of metal surfaces in the UV-VIS, UV-NIR, UV-MIR, and UV-FIR regions are reduced down to around 2%, 6%, 5%, and 8%, respectively, exhibiting ultra-broad-band highly effective antireflection properties. Besides, these antireflection performances show little change within the incident angle range of 0-60°. Further, "macro-micronano-nanowire" hierarchical structures are also developed, reaching an ultralow total reflectance of 0.6% at the infrared wavelength around 16-17 μm and keeping steadily below 3% over a broad band of 14-18 μm. The outstanding ultra-broad-band spectrum antireflection properties are anticipated to have good prospects in various applications in future..

Unlike the case for a The scattering, gradient and net forces exerted on the metallic microspheres with the thick shell were calculated and the axial trapping force exerted on the oxidized copper microspheres with a force model were analyzed for a single-beam gradient trap on a core-shell(metal/dielectric)microsphere. Unlike the case for a purely metallic Mie particle, a metallic microsphere with thick dielectric shell can be trapped easily, but not be trapped in the high intensity region of focused beam. In the experiment the copper microparticles coated with copper oxide can be trapped in the focused Gaussian beam and also transported horizontally. The optical characteristics of core-shell structured metal particles could be analyzed with the theoretical analysis and experimental results, which extend the applications of optical tweezers..

Guo Min, Zhu Xiurong, and Li Hejun
Improving the spectral transmittance of CdS window layer used in CdTe-HgCdTe tandem solar cells has a significant impact on the effective utilization of sunlight and increases the device short-circuit current density(Jsc). Herein, the average transmittance(T) and Jsc losses of as-deposited and CdCl2 annealed CdS films Improving the spectral transmittance of CdS window layer used in CdTe-HgCdTe tandem solar cells has a significant impact on the effective utilization of sunlight and increases the device short-circuit current density(Jsc). Herein, the average transmittance(T) and Jsc losses of as-deposited and CdCl2 annealed CdS films prepared by chemical bath deposition(CBD), near space sublimation(CSS) and magnetron sputtering(SPUT) are studied. The results show that: in the range of 520-820 nm, the as-deposited and annealed CdS films by CBD exhibit the highest T and the lowest Jsc losses of the CdTe top cell; in the range of 820-1 150 and 520-1 150 nm, the as-deposited and annealed CdS films by SPUT exhibit the highest T and the lowest Jsc losses of the HgCdTe bottom cell and the CdTe-HgCdTe tandem solar cells. In the range of 520-820, 820-1 150 and 520-1 150 nm, the CdCl2 annealing can greatly increase T of CdS films and decrease the Jsc losses of the CdTe top cell, the HgCdTe bottom cell and the CdTe-HgCdTe tandem solar cells..

Since plasma generated by laser ablating takes on the distribution of Gauss form, it′s difficult to gain uniform films on the large substrate especially on the hemispherical substrate by the method of pulsed laser deposition technology, which badly limits the actual application of this technology. Setup that could rotaSince plasma generated by laser ablating takes on the distribution of Gauss form, it′s difficult to gain uniform films on the large substrate especially on the hemispherical substrate by the method of pulsed laser deposition technology, which badly limits the actual application of this technology. Setup that could rotate at constant velocity along with swinging at variable velocity was designed. The films could be deposited continuously on different area of hemispherical substrate by using of this setup, which made sure the uniformity of the film. And the math model for distribution of the thickness was founded. Uniform diamond-like carbon film on large hemispherical substrate with 200 mm diameter was deposited by the setup based on the model simulation. The thickness asymmetry of the film was less than ±5% in the range of 80°. Large area homogeneous diamond-like carbon film prepared on hemispherical substrate by pulsed laser deposition method has great application foreground in some especial flied like space detection, and this setup can extend to deposit other films..

Li Xiu, Xu Yanfang, Xin Zhiqing, Li Yaling, and Li Luhai
To improve the photoluminescence intensity of ZnO, the optical properties of ZnO/Ag structures were systematically investigated. The radio-frequency magnetron sputtering technique was adopted to deposit ZnO and Ag thin films on Si substrates. The optical properties of ZnO/Ag structures that significantly different fromTo improve the photoluminescence intensity of ZnO, the optical properties of ZnO/Ag structures were systematically investigated. The radio-frequency magnetron sputtering technique was adopted to deposit ZnO and Ag thin films on Si substrates. The optical properties of ZnO/Ag structures that significantly different from those of pure ZnO thin films at different sputtering time were demonstrated in detail. The photoluminescence intensity of ZnO/Ag films was carried out compared with that of the pure ZnO. The results reveal that, the photoluminescence spectra of bare ZnO film showed a weak bandgap emission at around 378 nm and a broad defect-related emission band centered at 470 nm. After adding Ag film, it resulted in an increase and decrease of the near band edge, meanwhile, the position of UV peak has as lightred-shift compared with that of pure ZnO thin film. The optical features can be influenced by the evolution of the Ag film varied with the deposition time. The reasons for the enhancement of the band edge emission which caused by the surface plasmon resonance coupling of the near band edge emission between Ag and ZnO was detailed discussed..
