Liu Jian, Gu Kang, Li Mengzhou, and Tan Jiubin
The coupling effect in three dimensional measurements using optical microscopy refers to the phenomenon that the accuracy of the measurement height of a groove or step sample that suffers a principle error caused by the influence of the relatively small transverse period of the sample. Based on the convolution irrelevaThe coupling effect in three dimensional measurements using optical microscopy refers to the phenomenon that the accuracy of the measurement height of a groove or step sample that suffers a principle error caused by the influence of the relatively small transverse period of the sample. Based on the convolution irrelevance principle and the limited energy lost principle, two models depicting the coupling effects in measurements of the thin step samples and the deep groove samples were established respectively, thus the coupling relationship between the geometric parameters of the sample and the measurement capability of the optical instrument were revealed. Compared with the existing W/3 reading rule, this criterion can more objectively reflect the different influences of samples with different structures on the actual measurement capability of the optical instrument, and indicate the assessment portions for height measurements without accuracy loss, also is able to predict the generation of principle error in height assessment if the structure is too tight or deep, thus provides a new reading and evaluation criterion for the three dimensional measurement of a groove or step sample..

The method of parallel excitation and heat conduction was put forward to detect micro cracks near surface. The process of heating in cracks using eddy current thermography was simulated by numerical calculation. The temperature distribution around the crack and the influence on the detection results were analyzed. The parallel excitation was adopted for the detection test. The surface temperature distribution curve of the specimen was extracted, and the slope curve was got by differential. Finally, the detection and recognition on cracks were realized. The results show that the parallel excitation method of eddy current thermography can have an efficient detection on micro cracks near surface of ferromagnetic materials, and appropriate excitation time can contribute to the rise of the temperature contrast and the enhancement of the testing effect.

To solve the problem of the inaccurate extraction for components′ boundaries, a high-precision method of 3D shape measurement for large-scale parts was proposed in this paper. Firstly, an adaptive light stripe locating method based on time flow was proposed according to the sequence of acquiring images, by which the region of the light stripe can be located in real time. Next, a boundary detection method based on light stripe mutations was presented to acquire the row or column coordinates of the object boundaries in the light stripe. Then the coordinates of the boundaries can be determined precisely combined with the extraction results of light stripe centers. And the effective light stripe centers for measurement within the two determined boundary feature points can be retained. At last, the extracted light stripe centers were matched and reconstructed to accomplish 3D shape measurement. Experiment results show that the measurement accuracy of this method reaches 0.06 mm and precise boundary information of objects can be acquired. The cost of computation is also reduced greatly. Thus, the proposed method can satisfy the measurement requirements of high precision and rapid speed..

Using adjoint method the miss distance of GLTIA and EGLIA were analyzed. The results show that the stable domain of guidance system is larger when strapdown seeker parasitic loop is negative feedback than positive feedback, the stability will reduce when the value of disturbance rejection rate gets bigger. Though EGLIA has more excellent guidance performance than GLTIA, but the influence of a parasitic loop of seeker disturbance rejection rate will be more serious, the sufferable value of seeker disturbance rejection rate for EGLIA is about 2.5%, and the GLTIA is about 3.5%. In the practical application, if the guidance law would work with advanced performance, the value of seeker disturbance rejection rate should be much stricter to reduce the effect of parasitic loop..

The main factors which caused the problem of DRR with semi-strapdown imaging seeker were scale error and disturbance torque. Firstly, a model of guidance system which contained Disturbance rejection rate (DRR) not only affected output accuracy of the seeker but also worsened the performance of missile guidance system. The main factors which caused the problem of DRR with semi-strapdown imaging seeker were scale error and disturbance torque. Firstly, a model of guidance system which contained disturbance rejection rate parasitic loop (DRRPL) was established. The relationship between DRR caused by different factors and the stabilization of guidance system was analyzed on basis of the model.

The nonlinear filter model considering DRRPL was built by working principle of semi-strapdown seeker, the STUKF algorithm was adopted to estimate DRR and real line of sight rate. Finally, a math simulation was put forward. The result indicates that the guidance accuracy is improved after the compensation of DRR, and the compensation method had good anti-interference and robustness. The above theoretical analysis can provide guidance for online identification and compensation of semi-strapdown seeker disturbance rejection rate..

Then, they were imported into ANSYS Workbench, modal analysis and random vibration analysis were done. Finally, multipurpose optimization was done according to the result in last step. After the multipurpose optimization, centroid of the rotating parts was adjusted to the rotating axis. Its mass reduced from 0.606 30 kg to 0.539 43 kg. Its second natural frequency increased from 184.83 Hz to 187.77 Hz, and the maximal random vibration deformation on Z axis of concave gratings reduced from 33.394 ?滋m to 27.147 ?滋m. Centroid adjustment of structure could be realized directly by common finite element analysis software, the author achieved this goal when building three-dimensional models, and guaranteed that centroid of the rotating parts moved only on their rotating axis in optimization, so that centroid adjustment and light weight can be realized at the same time, which can be widely used in many other projects..

In this pUnderwater multispectral imaging is a promising technique for high-fidelity underwater color reproduction and mapping of kelp, sea grass, corals, etc. However, as light propagates through water, light is severely absorbed and scattered by water, causing image dim, hazy and distorted in its spectrum and color. In this paper, calibration of water attenuation coefficient based on underwater images and restoration of underwater multispectral images are discussed. Multispectral images of an underwater object are captured at different underwater distances. Technique has been proposed to calibrate the water attenuation coefficient based on underwater images of different distances and restore the raw images.

In order to solve the contradiction between the system signal-to-noise ratio and the spatial resolution, the coding technique was applied to the Rayleigh Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis system and a simplex code Rayleigh Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis sensing system based on the Avalanche Photo Diode detector was presented. The Rayleigh Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis system applied coding technology can improve the signal to noise ratio while maintaining the same spatial resolution. In the system, the random shot noise power was related to signal power, and the thermal noise power that was irrelevant to signal power mainly depended on the performance of the Avalanche Photo Diode detector. By analyzing the variance of current volatility which was relevant to two kinds of noise and Simplex code encoding and decoding rules, the mean square error of coding system was obtained, then the signal-to-noise ratio and coding gain formula were deduced. With the increase of coding length, the coding gain was also increased, then stabilized at a stable value, so the system had the optimal coding length. Finally, the optimal coding length formula was deduced. By using MATLAB it is verified that as the coding length increases, the coding gain tends to a stable value of 6.69 dB when the first-order Rayleigh scattering light power is 0.5 mW in the Rayleigh Brillouin Optical Time Domain Analysis system based on Simplex code, and the optimal code length was 63 bit..

Wu Junpeng, Liu Quan, and Yu Lintao
When a partially coherent beam is transmitted in turbulent atmosphere channel, the optical intensity scintillation effect caused by atmospheric turbulence can be effectively suppressed, and accordingly performance of communication link is improved. According to Gamma-Gamma atmospheric channel model and characteristics When a partially coherent beam is transmitted in turbulent atmosphere channel, the optical intensity scintillation effect caused by atmospheric turbulence can be effectively suppressed, and accordingly performance of communication link is improved. According to Gamma-Gamma atmospheric channel model and characteristics of partially coherent beams, the analytic expressions of average bit error rate(BER), outage probability and average channel capacity were obtained for partially coherent optical communication system. Based on these results, the influence of spatial coherence length and communication distance on performance of communication link was analyzed. Numerical results show that as the spatial coherence length of a partially coherent beam decreases, the system BER and outage probability decrease gradually under the same atmospheric turbulence conditions and transmission distance, and the outage probability is lower than 10-6 and system BER is 10-5, when average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is 30 dB; Meanwhile, as the spatial coherence length of the partially coherent beam decreases, average channel capacity of the system increases, and the average channel capacity is up to 3.8 b/s·Hz-1 when SNR is 12 dB. The analytical results provide a theoretical basis for the realization of the communication of partially coherent light in the turbulent atmosphere..

Partial field was non-symmetry along one direction, so a large number light tracing was needed to design the centric, which made it difficult to design. A method of footprint diagram was used to get the coordinate of special light in the space, the size of effective field and the part of baffle blocking light. The part blocking light was removed and a "duck mouth shaped" baffle was got, which can decrease the difficulty of design. By optimizing the design, length of final designed baffle was half of the former one, and reduced the size along Y direction, which can reduce more stray light to enter the later optical system directly. Baffle was modeled and simulated by Solidworks and TracePro software, the PST is about 10-9 when the off-axis angle is 30°, which is less than 5.59×10-7, the requirement of the system. The result of the simulation shows that using method of footprint diagram to design inner baffle of a partial field optical system is feasible..

Aiming at the lack of target texture information in infrared target tracking, strong coupling between the target and the background, and the case of occlusion causing that the characteristic information cannot be extended, the anti-occlusion algorithm for infrared target tracking with salient feature space was proposedAiming at the lack of target texture information in infrared target tracking, strong coupling between the target and the background, and the case of occlusion causing that the characteristic information cannot be extended, the anti-occlusion algorithm for infrared target tracking with salient feature space was proposed. Firstly, by analyzing the characteristics of the infrared target, the salient feature space was generated by using multi-scale saliency, contrast and information entropy, and the regions were clustered with the super-pixel feature distance and spatial distance to highlight the infrared target area. By quantifying the different regions of the infrared image, the saliency map was generated. Based on the saliency map and the original image, a plurality of target candidate regions was generated as the tracking algorithm′s input. Finally, the spatial distribution field matrices of the infrared target were matched by way of the global candidate regions. At the same time, the occlusion detection mechanism on account of the change of the salience regions and the inter-frame variation curve of feature similarity was established. Experimental results on different IR test sets show that the proposed infrared target algorithm can achieve better tracking performance under the occlusion condition, which effectively enhances the robustness of the tracking algorithm..

Properly choosing the unit number of APD arrays means a lot for signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement. In this article, according to the phAPD arrays provide an efficient method for photon detection probability improvement. However, the noise detection probability increases as well as the echo detection probability. Properly choosing the unit number of APD arrays means a lot for signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) improvement. In this article, according to the photon detection probability in the Geiger-mode, the SNR model with the unit number N was established based on the distribution of echoes and noise within the range gate. Effects of number of echoes, noise rate, location of echoes and fill factor were discussed. Analytical results show that larger number of echoes, higher fill factor and more precise orbit prediction help increase the SNR with APD arrays. 4-unit APD arrays are enough for laser ranging with echo number smaller than 0.1 and noise number within the range gate smaller than 1, while when there are large number of echoes and noise, 25-unit APD arrays will achieve a better SNR. The established SNR model for APD arrays will help for proper unit number selection to achieve the best SNR..

To meet the target surface requirements for the uniformity and symmetry of the irradiation, the synchronous control precision of multi-pulse was analyzed in detail. The results show that multi-pulse irradiation affects the synchronization of the energy distribution center in far-field directly. While one single beam pulse delay is greater than or equal to 2 times of the pulse width, the peak value of the light intensity on the target surface will fall down to 75%. If the control errors of two pulses are occurred with the same degree peak value of light intensity will fall down to 50%. Otherwise, when the control error of the pulse width is twice as large as the ideal pulse width, the peak value of the intensity on the target surface will drop to 87.5%..

AffecWhen lidar is used to detect atmospheric visibility, if cloud, fog, smoke, dust or the hard target exist in the detection path, the atmospheric extinction coefficient will change significantly in the local area, then the lidar return signals occur mutate against the original attenuation trend along with distance. Affected by it, using existing algorithm directly will cause the accuracy of visibility inversion low or wrong inversion. A combination visibility inversion algorithm including breakpoint location, extinction coefficient boundary value determination, extinction coefficient iterative inversion was proposed. Firstly, the breakpoint signal was found and located; Secondly, breakpoint was excluded by using slope method to acquire extinction coefficient boundary value; Finally, atmospheric extinction coefficient and visibility based on Fernald algorithm were inverted. According to the simulation experiments of two kinds of typical atmospheric extinction model, the accuracy of visibility inversion is improved, the more accurate global visibility is obtained. The validity of the proposed algorithm is also been verified by using real return signals of the lidar visibility meter developed by ourselves..

With the theory of steady state and rate equation, the composite output model in both continuous and pulsed output conditions were established. The result of numerical simulation shows that there exists optimal KTP length in both continuous and pulsed conditions. While the best fundamental-wavelength(FW) transmissivity only exists in continuous condition. Through the experiment, the relationship between FW transmissivity and output ratio of composite laser was verified. The effect of repetition rate on output ratio is then explored in experiment..

High precision impulse measurement is the necessary method in studying the impulse coupling effect. The torsion pendulum with laser interferometer method was put forward and the measurement system was constructed. In light of the problems of vertical axis vibration and existing error angle in the initial state of torsion pendulum, the high frequency vibration will lead to the non uniform spacing in laser interference fringes, besides, the initial angle will lead to the bright stripe advancing, these two factors will lead to the low measuring accuracy. An impulse experimental data analysis method was put forward based on ordinary least squares techniques, which can remove the high frequency noise effectively. The method can solve the problem of low measuring accuracy and improve the micro impulse method..

In 2011, NASA proposed to use a continuous ground-based laser station irradiation to change orbit of space debris. The photon pressure is slight but durable, and accumulates to a considerable orbit change. The orbit change will avoid the possible collision. This method does not bring the space debris back into the atmosphere, but to prevent the collision. For the method, the spacecraft is no need to maneuver for space debris collision avoidance, and the mild photon pressure just need median power laser generator. Thus, the method gets widespread concern in recent years. However, the head-on irradiation control law in this method is simple, but not the best. It is necessary to design the optimal control law. Through the establishment of two point boundary value model to maximize the distance between two objects for control objectives, and then solving the optimality conditions, the optimal control problem is solved. The simulation shows that the modified control law has been optimized to improve the performance of collision avoidance, and the degree is very significant, concerning to the initial orbit of the space debris to avoid collision, it is usually 25% to 125%..

Nowadays a research topic that high energy laser irradiates orbital debris to make it into the atmosphere burned down has been more and more hot. In order to take care of centimeter space debris near space station, a space-based system with high energy laser had been appeared, with a method of calculation of multiple pulses laser orbital-dropping. The simulation result shows that the possibility of removing space debris with space-based laser is that space debris is in a certain condition named "cleaning window". The selection of "cleaning window" is the key of orbital-dropping of debris. Under the existing conditions, such as laser power and platform parameters, multiple pulse laser orbital-dropping of debris is feasible. The result of multiple pulses laser orbital-dropping shows that debris orbital parameters have a big change in eccentricity and a small change in inclination, causing a big range in perigee and a small range in apogee. After insuring range of orbital-dropping, the result of single pulse velocity increment is nearly close of multiple pulses. Because the orbital-dropping has a great difference, there cannot be calculated of orbital-dropping by a single pulse to approximate multiple pulses. Based on above discussion, the modeling and simulation of detection and removing centimeter space debris with space-based laser system can be finished..

Integrated with the total variation denoising method, only 48% cross-section data of PCFs can be used to reconstruct the whole cross-section of PCF, and the edge features of air holes in multi-scale and multi-direction were also effectively preserved. The classical images, a large mode area PCF and a polarization maintaining PCF product were used to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method. Experimental results demonstrated that the cross-section images of real PCFs can be effectively rebuilt by 48% cross-section data.

The relationship between the emissivity of millimeter wave stealthy coat, the real temperature of target surface and some typical environment emissivity was calculated; based on that, the emissivity value range expression of three color millimeter wave stealthy coat was deduced with the typical environment emissivity. The relationship between the emissivity of millimeter wave stealthy coat, the real temperature of target surface and some typical environment emissivity was calculated; based on that, the emissivity value range expression of three color millimeter wave stealthy coat was deduced with the typical environment emissivity. The relationship between the color block emissivity value ranges with the real temperature of target surface was discussed in three different cases. The result shows that in the 300-400 K, the main color emissivity value should be similar to the environmental emissivity(for the ground, εg=0.935), the harmonize emissivity value changes monotonically with the target surface real temperature; they have the same value range, and decrease with the increase of the target surface real temperature. The conclusion plays a guiding role in designing the millimeter wave stealthy coat..
