In-situ measurement of ultra-high temperature above 1800 ℃ is critical in many key fields of national defense security and national economy, such as hypersonic vehicles, aero engines, and nuclear reactors.

Conventional silica-based fiber sensors can not withstand a high temperature of 1000 ℃, which is limited by the material characteristics of silica. A single-crystal sapphire fiber is a promising candidate for high temperature sensing owing to its ultra-high melting temperature of ~2053 ℃ and low transmission loss. Sapphire fiber Bragg grating (SFBG) sensors, which have the advantages of outstanding temperature resistance, high measurement accuracy, and capability for multi-point measurement, are the most promising high temperature sensors and can be obtained by inscribing the grating in the single-crystal sapphire fiber. In this paper, we present the working principles and theoretical model of high temperature SFBG sensors. Then, three mainstream fabrication technologies, including femtosecond laser phase mask technology, femtosecond laser Talbot interferometry, and femtosecond laser direct writing technology, are introduced. Moreover, the advantages and disadvantages of these methods are discussed in preparation efficiency and spectral properties. It is concluded that the femtosecond laser direct writing technology is the best method for fabricating high temperature SFBG sensors. Moreover, the optimization methods of the reflection spectrum of SFBGs are summarized, including how to reduce 3 dB bandwidth and spectral noise. The temperature sensing characteristics, packaging process, and high temperature and strain sensing applications of SFBGs are further introduced. Finally, the future development trend of SFBG sensors is discussed. The rapid development and large-scale application of high temperature SFBG sensors will be helpful to solve the problem of containment in structural health monitoring of major equipment in aviation, nuclear power, and other fields..

Bo Li, and Xinyu Zhang
In order to improve the robustness of the target tracking algorithm in complex scenes and optimize the operating efficiency of the model, a correlation filter tracking algorithm based on adaptive feature fusion was proposed. The algorithm adopts histogram of oriented gradient feature and deep feature extraction networkIn order to improve the robustness of the target tracking algorithm in complex scenes and optimize the operating efficiency of the model, a correlation filter tracking algorithm based on adaptive feature fusion was proposed. The algorithm adopts histogram of oriented gradient feature and deep feature extraction network feature to construct the target information, uses the peak to sidelobe ratio and the value of side lobe ratio of feature response to adaptively determine the fusion coefficient, and predicts the target position according to the fusion response. In order to reduce the influence of illumination variation, occlusion and target deformation on the tracking process and adapt to the change of scene, the average peak-to correlation energy was introduced to design the filter learning rate adjustment mechanism and update the model dynamically. Through the lightweight design of the deep feature extraction network, the parameters of the feature network were reduced and the tracking speed was improved. Experimental results show that the algorithm effectively reduces the influence of interference on the tracking results, and the algorithm has better performance in tracking precision, success rate and speed compared with other tracking algorithm on the public video dataset OTB100..

A deblurring method combining multi-scale feature fusion and a multi-input multi-output encoder-decoder is proposed for non-uniform blurred images caused by camera shake, fast motion of the captured object, and low shutter speed.

Firstly, the initial features of smaller-scale blurred images are extracted using a multi-scale feature extraction module, which uses dilated convolution to obtain a larger receptive field with a smaller number of parameters. Second, the feature attention module is used to adaptively learn useful information from different scale features, which can effectively reduce redundant features by using features of small-scale images to generate attention maps. Finally, the multi-scale feature progressive fusion module is applied to gradually fuse features at different scales, making the information of different scale features to complement each other. Compared with recent multi-scale methods that use multiple subnets stacked on top of each other, we use a single network to extract multi-scale features, thus reducing the training difficulty. To evaluate the deblurring effect and generalization performance of the network, the proposed method is tested on both the benchmark datasets GoPro, HIDE, and the real dataset RealBlur. The peak signal-to-noise ratio values of 31.73 dB and 29.39 dB and the structural similarity values of 0.951 and 0.923 on the GoPro and HIDE datasets, respectively. The deblurring performance is higher than that of recent state-of-the-art deblurring methods, and it also has better performance on the RealBlur dataset containing real scenarios. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is more effective than recent deblurring methods, can effectively restore the edge contour and texture detail information of images. In addition, our method can improve the robustness of subsequent high-level computer vision tasks..

In order to improve the overall performance of SAR ATR, a method based on multiset canonical correlations analysis (MCCA) of two-dimensional (2D) projection features is proposed. First, a series of 2D random projection matrices are used to extract features from SAR images to obtain multi-level feature descriptions. Considering the correlation between these results and the possible redundancy and interference, they are further fused through MCCA to obtain a single feature vector. The sparse representation-based classification (SRC) is used to process the fusion feature vector to determine the target class. The experiment is carried out based on the MSTAR dataset to fully test the proposed methods. The experimental results verify its effectiveness..

InGaAs NIR detectors are widely used in aerospace, military and civilian fields. In order to realize the intelligence of InGaAs detectors, combined with face detection applications, an ultra-lightweight InGaAs NIR face detection algorithm that can be deployed in low-power mobile smart devices is proposed. This paper maInGaAs NIR detectors are widely used in aerospace, military and civilian fields. In order to realize the intelligence of InGaAs detectors, combined with face detection applications, an ultra-lightweight InGaAs NIR face detection algorithm that can be deployed in low-power mobile smart devices is proposed. This paper mainly studies the problems of few NIR face samples and low-power device deployment, and uses transfer learning and binary quantization to train the network. The algorithm first realizes a pre-trained face detection network based on SSD through a large-scale visible light face dataset. Then, the binary quantization scheme is used to greatly compress the network parameter space size and calculation amount, but the network accuracy is reduced at the same time. In order to further improve the effect of network binary quantization, this paper introduces feature mean information for the binary quantization process and makes up for the loss of accuracy in the form of adversarial convolution. Finally, the algorithm fine-tunes the pre-trained binary network through small-scale NIR face data to achieve the final network. The binarization face detection network implemented in this paper can achieve an average accuracy of 71.18% in the collected NIR face verification set..

For non-cooperative targets, many related parameters are difficult or cannot be directly obtained by testing methods. The lack of parameters brings great difficulties to the prediction of target infrared radiation characteristics. The infrared test data of the target can be considered as the result of the comprehensive action of information including all parameters and the environment. Therefore, the test data of the target can be used to invert some important missing parameters. For cold static target, the possible missing parameters of ground target modeling are analyzed firstly, and the value ranges of the missing parameters are estimated through research and expert knowledge, etc. Based on the sensitivity theory and orthogonal experiment method, the influences of the missing parameters on target characteristics are studied, and the main missing parameters are determined, including material thickness, solar absorptivity and emissivity of the material surface. Then, based on the ground target simulation test data or measured data, combined with the conjugate gradient method, a method for inversion and model verification of ground target infrared modeling missing parameters is proposed. Finally, two examples are used to verify the method. The results show that the calculated temperature of typical measuring points after inversion of missing parameters using this method is highly consistent with the actual temperature variation characteristics, and the data error of temperature at different times does not exceed 2 K at most. The research shows that the method has good accuracy, and it can be extended and applied to the inversion of missing parameters in the infrared modeling of non-cooperative targets and the prediction of infrared radiation characteristics in the future..

The Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method was used to simulate the flow and heat transfer process of the cavity structure, the microchannel structure, and the pin-fins structure under the condition of the liquid nitrogen-nitrogen two-phase flow as the refrigerant. The results show that the pin-fins structure has the best heat exchange effect among the three above structures. The circular pin-fins structure is easy to develop a branch in the direction of 45°, and the square pin-fins structure is conducive to the uniform flow velocity in the vertical direction. Compared with the parallel pin-fins structure, the flow velocity distribution in the circular and square pin-fins is more uniform when the pin-fins are staggered. Comparing the convective heat transfer coefficients in different liquid cooling chambers with pin-fin structures, under the same other parameters, the staggered arrangement is better than the parallel arrangement, and the square pin-fin is better than the circular pin-fin. The structure with the best heat transfer effect is the staggered 2 mm square pin-fin structure, and the convective heat transfer coefficient is 4223 W/(m2·K), which is 125.83% higher than cavity structure. The above structure is manufactured for physical verification. The temperature of the cold head under the 107.6 W heating power corresponds well with the simulation result under the same condition..

The effects of the compoTo study the effect of buffer gas on the three-dimensional gas temperature distribution and output performance of flowing-gas circulation diode-pumped alkali vapor laser (DPAL), the beam propagation equation is introduced into the theoretical model of flowing-gas circulation DPAL in this paper. The effects of the composition and pressure of the buffer gas on the output performance of the end-pumped transverse flow cesium vapor laser are simulated and analyzed. The three-dimensional distribution of work temperature and output power are obtained. The results show that when using pure alkanes as buffer gas, the temperature in the vapor cell corresponding to ethane is lower than methane with same pressure, and the laser output power is higher. When the mixture of alkane gas and inert gas is used as a buffer gas, if the pressure of alkane is low, adding an appropriate amount of He or Ar can reduce the temperature in the vapor cell and increase the laser output power..

The application of slanted-edge imaging qualitySlanted-edge imaging quality analysis method is one of the most commonly used methods in the evaluation of modulation transfer function(MTF). This imaging process method has broad application prospect because of its high beam transmission energy and strong practicability. The application of slanted-edge imaging quality analysis method to the camera imaging quality evaluation system under laser irradiation is credible and effective. However, the factors such as edge inclination angle, gray contrast on both sides of edge and background noise should be considered comprehensively. The MTF curves and modulation transfer function amplitude (MTFA) values of the system under different power densities and spot positions are calculated by the slanted-edge imaging quality analysis method. The results indicate that when the laser power density is low or the spot position is far from the edge, the influences of the edge contrast and the MTF value are weak. With the increase of laser power density or the spot position is close to the edge, the local MTF value decreases, the influences of the edge contrast and the MTF value gradually increase, and the interference effect is obvious gradually. Especially when the spot covers the target, the MTF value cannot be calculated, and the interference effect is the best. Therefore, the imaging quality of optical cameras can be evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively based on the slanted-edge imaging quality analysis method. Based on the simulation results, establishment of an imaging quality evaluation system of optical camera under laser irradiation can provide technical support for laser irradiation effect experiment and laser jamming effect evaluation of optical camera..

Increasingly complex industrial product structures have higher requirements for intelligent assembly control accuracy. Among them, feedback correction technology based on real-time online measurement has become a research hotspot. In order to realize the flexible measurement of the intelligent assembly process of industrial production lines, a feedback assembly control method based on optical fiber sensing was proposed. The system uses multiple FBG sensors to obtain the real-time strain of the assembly structure, and the temperature strain decoupling was completed by different packaged FBG sensors. Finally, the conversion of the degree of position deviation was completed by the way of neural network learning, and real-time correction of the assembly position was realized. Matlab was used to simulate the screw structure assembly process, and the stress distribution of screws with different lengths and force levels was simulated. The results show that the longer the screw length, the greater the strain under the same force. And the main strain of the screw is concentrated on the edge of the screw hole. In the experiment, the cantilever beam strain calibration experiment is used to obtain the fitting curves of different package states, the temperature calibration experiment is used to eliminate the temperature drift effect in the strain test data, and the position shift experiment is used to obtain the correction parameters. The results show that for a screw with a length of 15.0 mm, the average resolution of the system is about 0.012 3 mm/N, and for a screw with a length of 20.0 mm, the average resolution of the system is about 0.022 1 mm/N, and it has good linearity..

Suppression of fiber modal noise by using deformable mirror
Jiaqi Wang, Liang Xu, and Liang Chang
The modal noise in optical fiber limits the measurement accuracy of the next generation of high precision radial velocity spectrograph. Especially when using coherent light sources for wavelength calibration, modal noise can induce radial velocity errors that reduce the accuracy of radial velocity measurement. In orderThe modal noise in optical fiber limits the measurement accuracy of the next generation of high precision radial velocity spectrograph. Especially when using coherent light sources for wavelength calibration, modal noise can induce radial velocity errors that reduce the accuracy of radial velocity measurement. In order to suppress optical fiber modal noise, a technical method based on deformable mirror to dynamically change speckle pattern is proposed. The method smoothes the speckle pattern caused by optical fiber and improves the centroid stability of calibration spectrum by dynamically changing the shape of deformable mirror in one single exposure time, so as to ensure the measurement accuracy of radial velocity. A 632.8 nm He-Ne laser is used as a coherent calibration light source to verify the effectiveness of the device. Experimental results show that the optical fiber modal noise can be effectively suppressed when a single exposure image contains about 105 speckle patterns. For the spectrograph with resolution R=100000, the radial velocity calibration error caused by optical fiber modal noise is about 19.8 cm/s in use of one single calibration line, which is similar to the effect of other suppression methods in the world. And this method can not only improve the energy utilization rate but also not affect the service life of optical fiber..

The system uses a T-type optical fiber probe as a passive sensing probe, and the reflective accessories are installed on the surface of the security enclosure to provide security early warning through real-time testing of position offsets. The detection module fixes the optical fiber probe and the reflection accessories in the security position by pre-testing the optimal reflection position. On the basis of acquiring the laser echo signal, the field intensity distribution function with respect to the position is calculated. In the calibration experiment, the test position was increased from 0 to 5.0 mm, the maximum response optical power was 18.76 μW, and the maximum variance was 0.124. When the curve exceeded 3.0 mm, the monotonicity of the curve was good, which meets the system design requirements. In the comparison experiments of different interference types, the influences of humidity, temperature and vibration on the system test results were compared. The experimental results show that whether the optical power fluctuation of the interference term is linear or non-linear, the fluctuation range is less than <4 μW, and the fluctuation degree is greater than 18 μW under the real artificial opening condition. At the same time, the displacement offset calculated by the system inversion is also changed significantly, which is more than 8 times larger than the average displacement deviation of the interference term. The system has the advantages of passive sensing end, high sensitivity and good real-time performance, and can be effectively applied to security monitoring in sensitive environments..

First, accorIn order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing direct design method of freeform surface and the large amount of calculation, according to the structural characteristics of the off-axis display system, a three-dimensional direct design method of freeform surface based on Marius's law is proposed. First, according to Marius's law, all the characteristic data points of the freeform surface are solved in the full field of view and the full aperture. Then the characteristic data points are fitted into a freeform surface characterized by polynomials, and the initial structure of freeform off-axis system with good imaging quality is obtained directly. Finally, the polynomial coefficient is optimized with the merit function and the best fitting coefficient is determined. The required freeform surface mirror is generated and the final structure of the off-axis head-mounted display optical system is obtained.

The optical system desensitization design method has an important application value for the design and rapid development of high-performance small space loads at low cost..

To simplify the fabrication process, a PbS quantum dot P-N homojunction photodetector is proposed here, in which the P-type and N-type layer are prepared by only one process. Results show that the PbS quantum dot photodetector has a good linear response to different incident intensity. The responsivity of the device is about 0.11 A/W and the specific detectivity is approximately 3.41 × 1011 Jones at 700 nm under the reverse bias voltage of 0.5 V, which indicate the excellent performance of the detector in weak illumination conditions. It can be concluded that the PbS quantum dot P-N homojunction photodetector proposed here can promote its development in the field of planar array imaging and is great helpful to the development of planar array imaging chip techniques based on colloidal quantum dots..

However, these technologies have their own shortcomings in resolution or imaging depth. A new optical detection technology based on the principle of low-coherence interference can achieve high-resolution and large-depth imaging at the same time. This technology is called optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology. OCT technology is a non-contact, non-invasive, non-damage imaging technology that combines high longitudinal resolution with high transverse resolution, and can achieve the same effect as biopsy observation. OCT uses a low-energy near-infrared light source as the detection light, combined with non-damaging methods such as microscope heads, hand-held probes or endoscopes, for routine detection, and will not cause damage to biological tissues. At the same time, OCT combined with rapidly developing image acquisition, analysis and processing technology can realize real-time three-dimensional imaging, and extract useful information for diagnosis for quantitative analysis, which provides convenience for doctors' diagnosis. This review focuses on the classic OCT imaging technology and its related medical application technologies, such as SD-OCT, SS-OCT, aOCT, PS-OCT and D-OCT, in the detection of diseases of the respiratory system, oral cavity, brain tissue, kidney and other major organs in the application..

Imaging systems with different technical regimes have different advantages. Among them, three-dimensional imaging technology based on multi-pixel photon counter (MPPC) has broad development potential because of its advantages of fast imaging speed and sensitivity to extremely weak light. However, due to the immature development of MPPC array, the detection level of weak light 3D imaging based on MPPC array is limited. In this paper, a three-dimensional imaging system is developed by using the 32×32 scale MPPC array S15013 series two-dimensional photon counting image sensor developed by Hamamatsu company of Japan. Each pixel of the sensor is composed of 12 single photon avalanche diodes in parallel, and its total detection pixels are more than 1 K. Based on the system, the effects of threshold voltage, lens aperture and other parameters on the three-dimensional imaging detection results are analyzed, the detection sensitivity and accuracy of the system are tested, and the three-dimensional imaging detection test is carried out for the simulated target 37 m away. The experimental results show that under the dark condition of echo photons of about 1.98 photons/pixel, the ranging accuracy of the target area reaches 0.268 m, and the three-dimensional structure characteristics are obvious, which is close to the detection level of single photon imaging..

Firstly, the Los tracking method is proposed to analyze and calculate the resolution of TDI and linear array directions. By constructing the coordinate conversion matrix between sidesway and satellite points, the unit vectors of TDI and linear array in different maneuver angles are obtained. Then, the projection vectors of the unit vectors in two directions on the ground are calculated along the Los direction, the ground pixel resolution is calculated, combined with the parameters of the camera, the orbital height and the earth radius. At the same time, the integration time of different fields of view are obtained according to the projection rate of the satellite on the ground, and the MTF degradation of edge fields of view under different TDI stages is analyzed with the reference integration time of central field of view. Taking a remote sensing model as an example, the specific analysis and calculation are carried out, and the requirements for the yaw angle are put forward according to the degradation of MTF. The calculated results show that the MTF of the edge spectrum section has decreased to 0 when the TDI series is 60 under the large side sway, so the TDI stage should be selected carefully in orbit. Then, combined with the theoretical calculation and on orbit image, the influence of the atmosphere on the image contrast under different side or yaw angles is analyzed. The analysis shows that the yaw will change the atmospheric transmission path, thus affecting the target contrast. The analysis results can provide a reference for the later image correction..

This problem can be solved by n-point perspective (PnP) algorithm. Orthogonal iterative algorithm (OI), as the representative of PnP algorithm, has been widely used in practice because of its high precision. In order to further improve the robustness and computational efficiency of OI algorithm, a weighted accelerated orthogonal iterative algorithm (WAOI) is proposed in this paper. Firstly, the weighted orthogonal iterative algorithm is deduced according to the classical orthogonal iterative algorithm. The weighted collinearity error function is constructed and the weight is updated by using the object point reprojection error to achieve the purpose of iteratively optimizing the pose estimation results. Secondly on this basis, through adaptive weights, the calculation of translation vector and objective function in each iteration is integrated to reduce the amount of calculation in the iterative process, so as to accelerate the algorithm. The experimental results show that when there are two rough points in the 12 reference points, the reprojection accuracy of the reference point of WAOI is 0.64 pixel, the operation time is 8.02 ms, the accuracy is high and the running speed is fast, so it has strong engineering practical value..

The finite-difference time-domain method is firstly employed to simulate the structure of tapered fiber coupled polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) microspheres to verify its feasibility of whispering gallery mode excitation. Experimental results show that whispering gallery mode with a quality-factor on the order of 104 can be excited by evanescently coupling a polymer microsphere with a diameter of tens of micrometers through a tapered fiber with a diameter of 1.8 μm. Packaging the device by combining spot and complete coating can keep a stable coupling state between the tapered fiber and the microsphere and protect them from external contaminant. Red shift happens in the resonant spectrum of the microsphere cavity as the external temperature decreases since its negative thermo-optic coefficient is larger than the thermal expansion coefficient. When the external temperature varies in the range of 20-30 ℃, the polymer microsphere demonstrates a sensitivity of 68 pm/℃. In comparison with the conventional optical fiber sensors, lower detection limit can be achieved by the proposed temperature sensor with a higher quality-factor, which can be potentially used in the in-situ temperature precise measurement in a limited space..

The fact of Brillouin frequency shift (BFS) hopping and the coating burning indicated that the silica fiber should be annealed to reach a thermally stable state. After annealing, the BFS of the three kinds of fibers increased with temperature nonlinearly. The coating of single-mode fiber and photonic crystal fiber burned at high temperatures. And the crystallization of silicon doped its mechanical strength, indicating that it can only be used as a one-time high-temperature sensor. The gold-coated fiber with a higher melting point and better hermeticity can maintain good mechanical strength after high-temperature annealing, so it is a reusable high-temperature sensor. The research in this paper showed the potential for high-temperature sensing applications such as temperature monitoring of turbine engines..

Firstly, the aerodynamic simulation of the probe structure was carried out by using the finite element method, and the influence of the probe structure parameters on the measurement results was analyzed. On this basis, the total temperature and pressure fiber-optic composite probe was fabricated and its working performance was tested by building a static test system. The experimental results show that the total temperature and pressure fiber-optic composite probe can work under the temperature and pressure composite environment of 150 ℃ and 0.25 MPa. The maximum nonlinearity of the total pressure sensor is 0.5% in the range of room temperature - 150 °C, and the maximum nonlinearity of the total temperature sensor is 4.04% in the ambient pressure environment. Finally, the temperature decoupling of the pressure parameters was completed, and the pressure measurement error in the full temperature range did not exceed 1.55%. The designed total temperature and pressure fiber optic composite probe diameter is 5 mm, which effectively reduces the interference of the probe to the flow field..
