BasDirect wavefront gradient algorithm directly establishes correspondence between measurands of the wavefront sensor and response characteristics of the deformable mirror. The voltage can be directly calculated by the algorithm. We use Hartmann wavefront sensor with 64 sub-apertures to detect the distorted wavefront. Based on the hypothesis that of deformable mirror is the weighted addition of the influence function, each of the voltage values applied on the drive is solved by the algorithm. The simulated 32 units of deformable mirror can be controlled and then distorted wavefront can be restored. The simulation result shows that direct wavefront gradient algorithm can effectively adjust the distorted wavefronts..

Based on the Kirchhoff's law, a balanced homodyne photoelectric detector with two-stage amplification is designed and studied. The differential photocurrent of two similar photodiodes is primarily amplified by a trans-impedance amplifier, and then sent into the secondary differential amplifier. Experimental results show that the saturation power of this detector is 5 mW, and the signal response bandwidth is about 140 MHz. When the input laser power is equal to 2 mW and the frequency is lower than 30 MHz, the optical shot noise is 10 dB larger than the electronic noise. Near 20 MHz, the common mode rejection ratio of the detector could reach 55 dB..

The results show that the optimum cutting process parameters are cutting speed about 2.0 m/min, auxiliary gas pressure 14.7 N/cm2, focusing lens focal length f=200 mm, laser spot diameter 0.3 mm, defocusing amount +4~+5 mm, cutting nozzles diameter 0.8 mm. Under the optimum cutting process parameters, the kerf width is 0.5~0.6 mm, the cutting tilt angle is 0.2°~0.5° and the cutting surface roughness is small. Cutting surface is divided into two different parts because of the top and bottom sections show different flatness. The temperature in the bottom is higher, the gap between oxidation rate and cutting rate is greater than that on the top, so the flatness is poor. Compared with CO2 laser cutting, fiber laser cutting surface roughness is better and the cutting power efficiency is increased by 2.6 times..

An improtant issue in OBS technology is burst contention which causes performance degradation. The optical buffer resolution based on segmentation segments burst firstly, and then the segmented burst is buffered. The wavelength conversion conflict resolution based on segmentation segments burst firstly, and then the segmented burst is wavelength converted. Comparison between the two contention resolutions is made. The result of comparison shows that when the network load is high, the optical buffer conflict resolution based on bust segmentation can efficiently reduce the burst loss probability. When the network load is low, the wavelength conversion conflict resolution based on bust segmentation can efficiently reduce the burst loss probability..

Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation are conducted to the two-order cascaded Sagnac loop filter with Jones matrix theory. When the length ratio of the two segments of HiBi-PCFs in cascaded filter is 2:1, the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of transmission spectrum is 0.4 nm, which is only 1/3 of that of the single Sagnac loop filter, so as to effectively improve the filter channel isolation degree. The results show that this kind of filter possesses a good filtering effect and is also insensitive to the temperature change, which can be applied to 50 GHz dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system..

It will play a great role in the new generation of communication and business. The transmission of optical soliton in optical fiber obeys the nonlinear Schr.dinger equation. In this paper, three commonly used methods for solving nonlinear Schr.dinger equation, i.e., Jacobi elliptic function expansion method, trigonometric function assumption, and trial function method, are analyzed and compared from the aspects of seeking traveling wave transformation, solving process and physical significance of solution, and so on. Moreover, we introduce the newly proposed (G′/G) expansion method. Calculation shows that (G′/G) expansion method is easier than the other three methods in traveling wave transformation and calculation process. Besides, it also has relatively rich solutions. Therefore, this expansion method solving the nonlinear Schr.dinger equation and the related equations has a wide application prospect..

The suppression effect of traditional feedback control is bad in In order to obtain higher performance in space-to-ground optical communications, the acquisition, pointing and tracking (APT) system needs to have high precision. The vibration of satellites is the most important factor which affects the accuracy of APT. The suppression effect of traditional feedback control is bad in the mediumto-high frequency range of satellites′ vibrations. For this situation, adaptive algorithm is introduced into feedforward control and two kinds of adaptive feedback composite algorithms based on the least mean squares (LMS) and recursive least squares (RLS) algorithms are designed. Feedback control, LMS composite control and RLS composite control are verified by simulations. The results show that the effect of adaptive feedforward composite control is better for the medium-to-high frequency vibrations and the use of adaptive algorithms with faster convergence and higher steady-state precision can improve the suppression effect..

According to the characteristics of terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) technique, we propose an improved NDT algorithm based on speeded up robust feature (SURF) algorithm so that it can be applied conveniently in TLS. In this algorithm, firstly the corresponding relation between the point cloud and the image is created for the point cloud visualization; the feature points are extracted from the image by using SURF algorithm and the matching feature points are identified; according to the corresponding relation, the transformation matrix is calculated, and the initial registration of point clouds is completed. In the NDT, the initial matrix is set as a unit matrix, and the point clouds are divided into three-dimensional voxel grids and registered precisely by the probability distribution function. The experimental results show that this algorithm is not only applicable to the registration for TLS, but also exhibits higher registration accuracy and less calculating time, and it has especially a good registration effect for the point clouds with different resolutions..

This defect declines classification accuracy finally. In view of shadows and color distortion problem in the lowquality visible image, we put forward an improved method. On the first stage of our algorithm, the problem of missing spectrum information caused by shadows is solved through sampling, analysing, and extracting shaded regions by double-threshold method and then classifying different kinds of shaded regions by object-oriented method. On the second stage, we obtain accurate areas of trees by fusing discriminative information [lidar intensity, digital surface model (DSM)] in order to compensate incomplete extraction caused by color distortion. The experimental results in comparison with ground truth obtained by manual work show that the classification accuracy is improved obviously compared with the results obtained by traditional Dempster-Shafer (D-S) fusing method..

The correlated characteristics of pseudo-thermal light have relations with contrast, signal to noise ratio and resolution. On the same condition of experiment, the higher the peak value of the twoorder correlation, the higher the contrast of the image, and the better for the randomness of the pseudo-thermal light, the higher for the signal to noise ratio of the image. Recently, varieties of schemes for correlated imaging have emerged, and pseudo-thermal light correlated imaging based on space light modulator（SLM） has good prospect. The theory of pseudo-thermal light based on different modulation is presented, by which we have simulated the two-order correlation of pseudo-thermal light when different modulations have been sent to SLM, and a conclusion has come that when SLM is modulated by the mixture of phase and amplitude, the peak value of the two-order correlation is the highest, especially when the probability distribution for amplitude is Rayleigh distribution and the phase is evenly distributed between 0~2p, and the peak value of the two-order correlation can come to 2, and the characteristic of pseudo-thermal light is ideal..

To precicely measure the three-dimensional (3D) velocity, an all-fiber triple-beam laser doppler velocimetry (TLDV) system based on coherent detection principle is proposed. Mathematical model of velocity measurement is described. According to the simulations, it is found that, firstly, effect of the attitude errors on the velocity measurement accuracy should not be neglected; secondly, with the pitch angle changing, influence of the pitch error and roll error on velocity measurement accuracy change; thirdly, the relationship between velocity accuracy and roll error is linear, while that between the accuracy and pitch error is nonlinear. The conclusions can be used for the design and velocity error correction of laser Doppler velocimetry system..

Calculations show that the detection PSF for the dipole averaged over all orientations is better than those for the dipoles along the x axis and the z axis. The total is smaller than the illumination PSF and the detection PSF. The total PSF after the pinhole diminishes as the pinhole decreases. The curves of the energy collected for the circular pinhole and the square pinhole are similar, but the signal to noise ratio for the circular pinhole is better than that for the square pinhole..

The Cs vapor cell is the core component of the atomic magnetometer. He gas is used as buffer to reduce diffusion to the walls where spin coherence is rapidly lost. The buffer gas decides the pump light frequency. In this work, we analyze the principle of all-optical Cs atomic magnetometer and the influence of pump light frequency on the sensitivity of all-optical Cs atomic magnetometer as the buffer gas pressure is about 1.333×104 Pa. Rate equation is used to calculate the orientation of the atomic spin for different pump light frequency. The result shows that the maximum sensitivity appears as the pump light frequency and the probe light frequency are locked to Cs D1 transition F =3 → F′ = 4 and Cs D2 transition F =4 → F′ =5，respectively..

The results show that the defect modes within the band gap are created by either decreasing or increasing the radius of normal GaAs rods and there exists a one-to-one correspondence between the two defects which possess different radius but similar resonance. In addition, the defect modes generated by decreasing size are single modes while those created by increasing size are doubly degenerate modes or multimodes. More importantly, the former defects are insensitive to the intensity of electric field while the latter ones exhibit strong dependence on the intensity of electric field. The conclusion might be used in the design of photonic crystal devices based on point defects..

In order to solve this problem, a method using coordinate transformation based on quaternion is proposed. By analyzing the viewing field in each coordinate system, the effect of vessel attitude on the viewing field is deduced. Meanwhile, the effect of the installation misalignment on the viewing field is deduced too. The result provides a theoretical basis for real-time despinning of shipboard electro-optical tracking system..

When the space terminal is in orbit, bidirectional communications are performed with the main lunar laser communication ground terminal or with the European Space Agency's lunar laser communication optical ground system, but only downlink communications are performed with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory's lunar laser communication optical communications telescope laboratory (OCTL) terminal. Besides laser communication, bidirectional time-off light measurements are performed by LLCD system with sub-centimeter ranging accuracy. The future NASA laser communication relay demonstration will be developed on the basis of LLCD system. Finally we discuss the knowledge learned from LLCD..

However, the detection system based on this method has been difficult to promote be cause of the limitation of to the accuracy of spectral detection and the cost of equipment. In this paper, we use the industrial-grade USB2000+ spectrometer and pulsed xenon light source of Ocean Optics to build a low- cost, rapid water quality spectral detection system. Furthermore, on the basis of a comprehensive analysis of the system noise sources, we use the soft thresholding wavelet packet method to denoise the raw spectral data. In order to effectively evaluate the denoising effect, we use scientific-grade spectrometers QE65000 of Ocean Optics with stable deuterium tungsten light source to build a standard spectral detection system, and carry out UV-visible absorption spectrum acquisition on the same sample solution. Experimental results show that the proposed system can capture the raw spectral data stabl and effectively. Then using soft thresholding wavelet packet to denoise the original data, on the premise of retaining water samples UV-visible absorption spectrum characteristics, various noises of the original spectra are effectively removed and the signal-to-noise ratio, which makes a foundation for the low-cost spectral detection device for the analysis of water quality parameters..
