Based on the thermal radiation of the plume, the modified model took into account the chemiluminescence of gas molecules and multiple scattering source caused by the average optical properties of cluster particles in the plume. On account of the basic radiation transfer equation, the UV radiation of the plume at different observation angles and medium distribution was numerically calculated in the spherical harmonic discrete coordinate system, and the space distribution images simulation of high resolution three-dimensional (3-D) plume radiance was presented. At the same time, the gray-scale co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) algorithm was used to obtain the gray-scale map of the plume radiation distribution. Combined with two-dimensional super resolution rotational invariant subspace algorithm, α-shape method and the rubber band algorithm, the central position and peak contour curve of the plume radiation was calculated, and the accurate extraction of the plume radiance feature was obtained, which provide an important reference and approach for the high resolution radiation image feature recognition of aircraft target and plume..

The boundary points of the grid were used to construct the surface constraint conditions to test whether all the building points in the grid. The area fitting was used to solve the terrain fluctuations. The Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) in machine learning was introduced to filter and classify the terrain undulations, and the seed points in the moving surface were used as the target points in the clustering algorithm to participate in the classification learning. The experimental data was the self-test area of radar flight. The filtering effect of the self-test area was tested and judged with random sampling. At the same time, the Kappa coefficient was added as the test method to test the accuracy of the GMM algorithm on the basis of the three types of error test methods. Compared with the pedigree clustering classification algorithm, it is proved that the proposed algorithm can achieve better filtering effect..

The tested SAR image was blocked into four patches, which described the local regions of the target, respectively. For each SAR image patch, the monogenic signal was employed to construct a feature vector, which described its time-frequency distribution and local details. The monogenic signal decomposed the input image from amplitude, phase, and local orientation. Therefore, it could reflect the local variations in the image so providing more reference information for the analysis of target changes under the extended operating conditions. For the 4 feature vectors, the sparse representation-based classification (SRC) was used for classification and produce the corresponding reconstruction error vectors. Accordingly, based on the linear weighting fusion, the random weight matrix was constructed for analysis. For the results from different weight vectors, an effective decision variable was defined based on statistical analysis. By comparison of the decision values of different classes, the target label of the test sample could be decided. The proposed method made sufficient analysis of the uncertainties about the operating conditions during SAR image measurement, an optimal decision was made based on statistical analysis. Experiments were set up and conducted on the MSTAR dataset including one standard operating condition and three extended operating conditions. Compared with several present methods, the results confirmed the validity of the proposed method..

In this design, the optical characteristics of the target could be changed by modulating the optical characteristic parameters of the target surface, and the background image could be captured in real time during the activity of the target and displayed on the flexible display. The use of active image quality reconstruction, flexible display and emissivity control layer achieves the purpose of modulating the infrared radiation intensity of the target and effectively segmenting the target heat map, so as to achieve a high degree of integration with the surrounding natural environment throughout the weather and the whole process, and the spectrum of the target surface. The distribution characteristics do not change with the change of the detection direction, achieve the effect of target camouflage. Compared with the method of changing the physical structure characteristics of the target surface, this technique makes the target environment more adaptable and more survivability, and easy to implement..

Due to the temperature drift caused by the change of ambient temperature and infrared radiation absorption, most of the infrared thermal imagers for temperature measurement need blackbody for real-time calibration, but the blackbody-based infrared thermal imagers are limited by the fixed scene and poor portability. To solve this problem, a temperature calibration and compensation method without blackbody was proposed. By deducing the principle of infrared temperature measurement, the prior relation between target temperature and radiation quantity was obtained with multiple blackbodies calibration, and for addressing temperature drift caused by the internal structure of the detector, the temperature compensation was realized by non-linear modeling based on Newton's cooling law. The experimental results show that the proposed methods have the long-term stability to keep the relative error of temperature measurement within 0.9%, reduce the average relative error by 64%, and realize the portable, real-time, stable and high-precision temperature measurement of miniaturized infrared thermal imager..

The residual points were regarded as "electrons" with positive and negative unit electric quantities, guided by electromagnetic force, and eliminated by phase smoothing or increasing phase jump, thus reducing the number of branch lines. At the same time, GPU parallel computing technology was adopted to improve the processing speed of high-resolution and large-size phase diagram. The simulation experiment and actual measurement data show that the unwrapping diagram quality is better by the improved branch-cut method. For the 5 million pixel speckle phase diagram, more than 98% of the residual points can be eliminated by electromagnetic force, and the branch lines can be reduced by more than 90%. The processing time can be reduced from the previous 15 seconds to 1.5 seconds, which meets the engineering application requirements of high quality and quick unwrapping by branch-cut method..

The onboard laser detector intends to adopt a fixed gated opening mode, which puts forward the control requirements of high repetition rate, high precision and high real time for laser emission epoch on the ground station. Based on the principle of range gate in satellite laser ranging (SLR), a precise control method of laser firing signal in satellite-ground LTT with high repetition rate was proposed, so that the uplink laser pulse could reach the detector within a short time after the onboard gate signal, which greatly reduced the background noise interference. This method could be implemented in a field programmable gate array (FPGA), which had the advantages of repetition rate greater than 10 kHz, control accuracy of 5 ns (200 MHz clock) and simple software interaction, etc. Combined its theoretical calculation accuracy and nanosecond jitter of the diode-pumped picosecond laser, the final realization accuracy of laser emission epoch was expected to be within 10 ns. It could meet control requirements of the laser emission epoch of the China’s space station LTT project and provide technical support for other LTT projects..

The laser emission two-axis turntable is a device that takes the turntable as the main body, carrying the laser transmission and emission functions.

To better understand the impact of ambient temperature on the performance of the tThe laser emission two-axis turntable is a device that takes the turntable as the main body, carrying the laser transmission and emission functions. The turntable is required to have good performance in the temperature range of -40-55 ℃. To better understand the impact of ambient temperature on the performance of the turntable, the structure of the laser emitting two-axis turntable was introduced, and the finite element method was used to analyze and study the static and dynamic characteristics of the turntable under different ambient temperatures. The effect of the ambient temperature on the accuracy of the shafting was obtained from the result of the deformation of the turntable after the static analysis. According to the analysis, under the condition of 22 ℃ turntable performance parameters as the benchmark, within the temperature index range, at room temperature 22 ℃, the static characteristics of the turntable and the shafting accuracy were the best. The farther the ambient temperature deviated from 22 ℃, the worse the static characteristics and shafting accuracy. When the temperature changed by 10 ℃, the maximum deformation of the turntable changed by about 0.529 mm, and the maximum stress value changed by about 18.418 MPa; the verticality error between the azimuth axis and the pitch axis changed by about 4.715″, and the verticality error between the azimuth axis and the base support surface changed about 4.649″; Azimuth shaft system wobble error changed about 0.22″, pitch shaft system wobble error: (1) The temperature was below 22 ℃, the change was about 0.33″; (2) The temperature was above 22 ℃, the change was about 0.569″. When changing with temperature, the first 6 modal frequencies of the turntable had different laws, but the frequency change rate did not exceed 2%. The analysis results show that the ambient temperature has a greater impact on the static characteristics and shafting accuracy of this type of turntable, but has a small impact on the dynamic characteristics. The conclusion is consistent with engineering experience..

A green laser diode extension structure with an n-side dual-wave conductor structure was designed. The effect of indium parts in the n-InxGa1-xN waveguide layer on its photoelectronic performance in laser extension structure was discussed. And the mechanism of the n-InxGa1-xN waveguide layer on the photoelectronic performance of laser diode was clarified. The results showed that when the indium part of the n-side InxGa1-xN waveguide layer was 0.07, the photon loss was minimal, and the threshold current was the lowest. When the indium part of the n-side waveguide layer was high or low, photon loss and operating voltage were increased, and meanwhile, the output power of the laser diode was reduced. Therefore, by regulating indium parts in the n-InxGa1-xN waveguide layer and controlling the optical field distribution of the outer layer, the photon loss was reduced by 0.2 cm-1, and the threshold current was reduced by 193.49 mA to 115.98 mA, and the operating voltage was reduced, which increased the output power and electro-optical conversion efficiency of the laser diode, increased the laser output power to 234.95 mW at 6 kA/cm2. The n-side dual-waveguide structure design provides theoretical guidance and data support for the preparation of high-power green laser diodes..

To monitor and detect the safety condition of surrounding rock of roadway and deep coal mining site, many methods obtain competitive results by monitoring targets situation based on laser scanning spacial information. The Hyperspectral LiDAR (HSL) technology can acquire spacial and spectral data for deep mine safety detection and further fine structure analysis. The exact coal/rock classification is the basis of detection and analysis. While, in on-site operation, HSL signals are susceptible to instrument attributes and environmental factors, and need calibration for further classification application. However, due to serious dust pollution in deep coal mines, conventional calibrations are hard to achieve the desired results. To address this issue, a new method was proposed to classify coal/rock without calibration. First, the new feature values, waveform entropy (WE) and joint skewness-kurtosis figure (JSKF), were extracted from coal/rock samples based on HSL measurements. Then, the coal/rock classification tests were conducted with random forest (RF) and support vector machine (SVM) classifiers. Additionally, the spectral properties of different wavebands were evaluated by spectral segmentation test and the classification performances were optimized further by selecting specific channels. The results show that the proposed method can achieve excellent classification accuracy for coal/rock without calibration..

In order to obtain microwave signal with high spectral purity, low phase noise and flexible tunability, a novel approach to achieving a tunable optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) which was based on optically injected semiconductor laser and subharmonic microwave modulation for microwave signal generation was proposed and In order to obtain microwave signal with high spectral purity, low phase noise and flexible tunability, a novel approach to achieving a tunable optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) which was based on optically injected semiconductor laser and subharmonic microwave modulation for microwave signal generation was proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The fundamental concepts for realizing the OEO were based on the wavelength-selective amplification effect and the period-one(P1) oscillation state of optically injected semiconductor laser. The frequency stability, side-mode-suppression ratio and spectral purity of the generated microwave signal could be optimized by introducing subharmonic microwave modulation via a phase modulator in the OEO loop. The experimental results show that the central frequency of the microwave signal generated by the proposed OEO could be tuned from 12 GHz to 18 GHz, and output power of the generated signal was more than 5 dBm. At the same time, the generated signal had a side-mode-suppression ratio of 51 dB and a 3 dB bandwidth of 100 kHz. Finally, the phase noise of the measured microwave signal could be optimized to -78 dBc/Hz and -109 dBc/Hz at 100 Hz and 10 kHz frequency offset by introducing subharmonic microwave modulation in the system, respectively. Furthermore, the tunable frequency range of the generated signal was restricted by the operating bandwidths of the optic-electronic devices which were utilized in the system. A higher frequency of the generated microwave signal could be achieved by using the devices with larger bandwidths in the OEO loop..

Based on the above method, combined with engineering examples, the stitching testing of a plane mirror was completed with a diameter of 120 mm, and four subapertures to be tested were planned. In order to compare the stitching performance of the algorithm described in this paper with the traditional least-squared fitting stitching algorithm, two algorithms were used to complete the surface reconstruction of the plane mirror to be measured. The experimental results show that the stitching results obtained by the two algorithms are smooth, continuous, no "stitch marks". At the same time, the results of the two algorithms are also compared with the full-aperture testing results. In this paper, obvious "stitch marks" can be seen in the residual map of the traditional splicing algorithm, and the stitching results obtained by the algorithm method in this paper are smooth and continuous, while the PV and RMS values of the residual graph are 0.012λ and 0.002λ, respectively, which are less than the PV and RMS values of the traditional algorithm residuals chart, which verifies the reliability and accuracy of the algorithm..

However, the lack of high precision surface shape detection means limits the manufacture and application of large aperture plane mirrors. In order to detect the surface shape of large aperture planar mirror with high precision, a Shack-Hartmann scanning and stiching detection method was proposed. The scanning and stiching principle and wavefront reconstruction algorithm were studied, and the mathematical model of microlens array imaging was established to verify the feasibility of Shack-Hartmann scanning and stiching detection principle. A scanning and stiching test experiment was carried out for a 150 mm aperture plane mirror, the full aperture surface shape 0.019λRMS(λ=635 nm) was obtained. Compared with the results of interference detection, the detection accuracy was 0.008λRMS. The results show that the method can realize the high precision detection of large aperture planar mirror..
