Panoramic laser fuze usually calculates the optimal initiation time and initiation azimuth only based on single measured target direction and distance, the calculation accuracy is low. On the other hand, fuze can not distinguish the authenticity of targets, it is easy to cause "false alarm" or accidental bombPanoramic laser fuze usually calculates the optimal initiation time and initiation azimuth only based on single measured target direction and distance, the calculation accuracy is low. On the other hand, fuze can not distinguish the authenticity of targets, it is easy to cause "false alarm" or accidental bombing. Based on the working principle of the synchronous scanning panoramic pulse laser fuze, the direction, distances and position coordinates of multiple detection points were analyzed. The target velocity model based on multiple detection points were established, which can calculate the target speed and judge whether the target was true.

At the same time, due to the characteristics of narrow beam and no side lobes, the fuze initiation zone has a small distribution area. All of these factors provide an important technical approach for efficient fuze-warhead coordination. Based on the analysis of the influence factors of air-defense missile fuze-warhead coordination, a fuze-warhead system scheme with eight-channel circumferential laser fuze was designed, combined with missile-target distance, miss azimuth, and target type. The fuze-warhead coordination simulation results in conditions of typical encounter parameters indicate that, the kill probability of single missile could be obtained to a maximum of 10% with the laser fuze information. It is useful for optimal design..

Based on dodecagon-detection model, the detonation orientation was controlled by discriminating target orientation. Combining with target vulnerability model, effect of delay time on damage was simulated and analyzed on different trajectories. The simulation results show that it is very important to match the parameters such as fuze delay time, miss distance and fragment fly scattering angle for high-speed small targets in air. When delay time is no more than 2 ms, the average damage probability, if miss distance is within 8 m, is more than 0.6, and is less than 0.5 if miss distance is over 10 m. The model can comprehensively analyze the damage effects with different delay time and miss distances..

In order to meet the requirement of accurate and stable height measurement based on ground echo, the characteristics of ultra low altitude ground echo of circumferentialIn the ultra-low altitude detection mode of circumferential laser fuze, range gate compression was used to achieve the ability of anti ground clutter. In order to meet the requirement of accurate and stable height measurement based on ground echo, the characteristics of ultra low altitude ground echo of circumferential laser fuze were studied. The ultra-low altitude ground detection model of circumferential laser fuze was established. Based on the bidirectional reflection distribution function, the power equation in time domain of the ground echo received by the circumferential laser fuze was derived. The laser echo characteristics of the ground were calculated and analyzed under different conditions of missile flight altitude, pitch attitude and ground reflection properties. The results show that the inherent absolute error of height detection by circumferential laser fuze increases with the increase of detection distance, while the inherent relative error decreases. With the increase of pitch angle, the pulse width broadening rate of laser echo pulse increases. The larger the specular reflection component of the bidirectional reflection distribution function of ground, the more sensitive the ground echo power varies with the missile pitch angle. Theoretical support was provided for the anti ground clutter research of circumferential laser fuze under the condition of ultra-low altitude..

Traditional laser near field detection system transmits the triggering signal according to the distance information, without being able to judge whether the distance signal is obtained from the target or not. As a result, a false positive could happen and the performance of the system would be weakened. However, recognition based spectral information can improve accuracy. In this paper, a target recognition system, which was compatible for the classical laser fuse scheme, based on spectrum analysis was proposed to increase the detection accuracy of the laser fuse system. Some suggestions about the general design of the improved laser fuse system with spectrum analysis sensor were also offered including active and passive detection with imaging function as an option. Moreover, based on the CMOS technology, a monolithic spectrum analysis sensor was designed and fabricated, which integrated the spectral element on top of the opto-electronical sensor in one chip. Thanks to the greatly reduced size and the weight, this spectrum analysis sensor had potential application in practice. The experiment results show that the capability of such system on chip (SOC) sensor in distinguishing the target from the camouflage..

For the noncoaxial laser fuze, the range of the detection distance is closely related to the system parameters. Based on system detection distance requirements, the working distance calculation model of the noncoaxial system was established, the influence of the system parameter changes of the laser fuze on the nearest working point and the furthest working point was analyzed. The receiving deflection angle and the center distance between the transmitting and receiving system were variables. In the case of satisfying the constraints, the multi-island genetic algorithm was used to optimize the variables. The optimization result shows that, under the condition of satisfying the constraints, the minimum receiving deflection angle is 90.97°, and the center distance is 0.03 m. The experimental result shows that the designed system parameters can completely meet the requirements of multi-ranging distance.

Then the goal signal wavefront will be coded. At the image processing part, the coded signal will be decoded to the original image. Because the insensitivity of the coded wavefront to the defocus and other aberrations is ten times more, the focus depth will be extended ten times more. So the wavefront coding can solve the defocus and alignment error caused by terrible mechanics and heat environment using coding and decoding. Based on the extended focus depth principle of wavefront coding, an aberration inactivation long/long double bands infrared optical system was designed. The focus depth was extended to be 10 times more. Imaging test was carried out with the wavefront coding prototype. The coding image of the spot-bar was used as the PSF to decode the image at the 10 times defocus position of cross-bar and four-bar. After decoding, the image of cross-bar and four-bar was with high resolution. At the last, the imaging results of wavefront coding were analyzed. The ripple of decoding picture was caused by not enough spatial sampling. After sampling PSF of different field, the ripple could be eliminated by using decoding algorithm of spatial transformation. The signal and noise would be extended at same time while the image was decoding. So the noise suppression algorithm used in decoding should be further researched to satisfy the missile-borne demand of more energy and higher signal to noise ratio..

The temperature of the sapphire infrared radiation (IR) window located in the head rises significantly, and the transmittance decreases while the self-radiation is greatly enhanced, resulting in a decrease in the internal infrared detection gas signal-to-noise ratio. The aero-heating with unsteady temperature rise process of the sapphire IR window and the infrared radiation transmission characteristics of the 3.7-4.8 μm band were numerically simulated. The results show that the average temperature can't accurately reflect the infrared transmission characteristics of the sapphire IR window and its impact on the sensitivity of the infrared detector. There is an optimal infrared detection window thickness in which the sensitivity of the infrared detector reaches best..

For the purpose of inspecting the film cooling holes on high-pressure turbine blade in a rapid and accurate manner, a non-contact four-axis vision coordinate measuring system was designed and established in the paper. With regard to the determination difficulty of the spatial location of the rotary axis, a calibration For the purpose of inspecting the film cooling holes on high-pressure turbine blade in a rapid and accurate manner, a non-contact four-axis vision coordinate measuring system was designed and established in the paper. With regard to the determination difficulty of the spatial location of the rotary axis, a calibration method based on vision measurement was proposed in the paper, which fully considered the imaging characteristics of industrial CCD used in the system. In the calibrating procedure, a specially designed cuboid mental block was applied as the target. Through the coordination between the turntable and the coordinate measuring machine, the industrial CCD focused on the block surface and then captured the sharp edges of the block. And then, the spatial orientation of the rotary axis in the machine coordinate system could be determined by edge extraction, pixel distance calculation, physical distance conversion and algebraic operation etc. Finally, a gauge block was selected to be inspected by the measuring system to verify the calibration method and results, whose nominal size was 80 mm. As the experimental results showed, the measuring errors were all smaller than ±0.01 mm. Therefore, the calibration method of rotary axis proposed in the paper showed higher calibration precision and repeatability, which could meet the inspecting requirements of the shape and position parameters of film cooling holes..

After improving the Mach-Zehnder interference optical path, a vortex beam was generated as a reference beam, using the spatial light modulator illuminated by a beam of light, and another beam was transformed into a spherical wave through the lens and illuminated to the object. The interference fringes were distributed in a spiral shape as the two beams interfered. When the object has a micro-displacement, the optical path difference of the two beams changes, and the spiral interference fringe rotates. Noticing this phenomenon, the micro-displacement of the object can be determined by the rotation angle of the spiral interference which vortex beams interference with spherical wave. Through theoretical analysis, simulation and experiments have proved that the micro-displacement of the object can be monitored in real time, and effectively calculated by the rotation angle change of spiral fringe based on interference of vortex beams and spherical wave. In the experiment, the displacement of the measured object is 27 nm, the actual measured displacement of the object is 25.75 nm, and the error is 1.25 nm compared with the theoretical value..

The proposed system increased the imaging depth by designing a infrared swept source with wide range. Then a calibrated optical path was built for k-domain resampling to improve the imaging quality in large range interference. Thus the high precision axial information and the anterior segment image could be obtained simultaneously. To solve the problem of low SNR of OCT images in this system, an edge-preserving denoising algorithm based on anisotropy filtering was proposed to suppress the speckle noise, which effectively improved the image contrast. Using the equal-proportion human eye model and vitro fish eye imaging respectively, the experimental result shows that the imaging depth of the system can reach 69 mm. The 12 mm anterior segment can be completely scanned in transverse direction, while the axial five-layer structure is accurately measured. The average measurement error of axial length is 0.04 mm, and the imaging time is about 0.45 s, which fulfil the real-time requirements of clinical medical application..

There are eight optical lens, eleven electronic devices and two motors staggered in the small-scale space. There were so many calorific equipments with long working hours and large power consumption, and their temperature control requirements were not consistent with the optical lens, the number of which was also large. Furthermore, one of the two motors was a two DOF turn motor during operating. These above characteristics make thermal design of the gas monitoring sensor a great challenge. To effectively solve the difficult problems of the gas monitoring sensor thermal design, combination of multy design methods were adopted. The thermal behavior of the gas monitoring sensor components were systematically managed based on the idea of thermal management to save thermal control resources. Indirect thermal control technology was used on the optical lens temperature control to guarantee meeting the high precision and stability requirement. Heat dissipation of the two DOF turn motor was achieved by radiation cooling, by which flexible rotating table could be avoided in the cooling path, so that thermal control system reliability could be improved. Finally, structural and thermal integrated design was applied to make sure the requirements of those above thermal design fully guaranteed in structure. The results of thermal balance test show that all components temperature meet the requirements no matter under cold case condition or hot case condition, and optical lens have high temperature stability throughout the life cycle. The maximum temperature fluctuation of all optical lens is less than 1 ℃ under the same case condition. High precision thermal control of optical lens are obtained under the condition of multiple heat source and complex working mechanism..

Due to the large number of parameters of flexible support structure, in order to avoid serious coupling between parameters, the orthogonal optimization method was used to optimize the parameters of flexible support structure, and then the finite element method was used to analyze the mechanical and thermal characteristics of mirror components.

The electron bomBased on the principle of silicon surface film passivation, the effect of different thickness surface passivation film on the electronic sensitivity of back-thinned CMOS (BCMOS) sensor was studied. Firstly, the electron bombardment test was carried out after the back thinning processing on CMOS sensor. The electron bombardment test shows that the gray value of the electronic image presents a linear relationship with the change of bombarding electron energy. Then, the aluminum oxide films with different thickness were deposited on the surface of back-thinned CMOS, and the electron bombardment test was carried out. It was found that the collection efficiency of secondary electron was increased by 14.9% when the thickness of aluminum oxide film was 20 nm, meaning that the electron sensitivity could be improved by surface film passivation. Furthermore, the dark current of the back-thinned CMOS sensor reduced from 1510 e-/s·pix?1 to 678 e-/s·pix?1 with the increase of film thickness. The above results show that aluminum oxide film has a good passivation effect on back-thinned CMOS sensor, which could improve the secondary electron collection efficiency and reduce the dark current of the back-thinned CMOS sensor, and provide a technical support for the development of high sensitivity EBCMOS devices in the future..

The plaintext was encrypted by four keys to obtain uniformly distributed ciphertext and three decryption keys. The decryption key was generated in the encryption process, which was different from the encryption key. It realized asymmetric encryption and increased the security of the system. The decryption key generated in the process of vector decomposition was strongly related to plaintext. Compared with the existing optical asymmetric encryption algorithms, plaintext was more sensitive to ciphertext and decryption keys. The system was more resistant to selective plaintext attack. At the same time, it also improved the sensitivity of decryption keys. The introduction of phase-truncated enlarged the key space and enhanced the security of the algorithm. Moreover real number ciphertext was produced for easier transmission. The experimental results show that the algorithm has uniform ciphertext distribution and low correlation between adjacent pixels. The decrypted keys and the plaintext to decrypted keys and ciphertext are highly sensitive. This algorithm has strong ability to resist various attack and better optical image encryption effect..

Then the polarization reflection distribution function of sea water and oil film was simulated under different solar incident angles, different detector observation angles and different sea surface wind speed and wind directions. The results show that, firstly, P-polarization reflectance reaches 1.0×10?5 and 2.5×10?5 respectively when the solar zenith angle of seawater and oil film is 53° and 56°. S-polarized reflectance increases with the increase of the solar zenith angle. Moreover, the higher sea surface wind speed is, the smaller peak value of polarization reflectance is. Additionally, wind direction only changes spatial position of pBRDF. Finally, the spatial distribution of linear polarization degree between seawater and oil film is obviously different. Experiment platform was set up with the camera working at 40°. The conclusion is obtained that the linear polarization of seawater and oil film is between 0.2?0.4 and 0.5?0.7, respectively. It also shows that using polarization detection to obtain the polarization degree and polarization angle of the target scene can improve the image quality..
