Abstract:In comparison with a pushbroom aerial camera, a TDI CCD pendular aerial camera has a larger angle of view, but it has the problem of image motion in the direction of pendulum swing. A real angle IMC (image motion compensation) is therefore proposed to solve this problem. Experiments proved the correctness of real angle IMC. The error of FMC (forward image motion compensation) is analyzed taking a CT-F3 camera as an example, and the system performance suggested are as follows: the precision of TDI CCD integral time should be more than 5‰, and the compensation precision of scanning mirror should be over 1%.
Abstract:From the viewpoint of ensuring the imaging quality of scanning mirror, the principles followed in selecting material for scanning mirror and its supporting structure are described. The ways of supporting scanning mirror and their applicabilities are discussed. The design concept of flexure supporting structure is proposed for mirrors with higher profile accuracy requirements. The mirror assemblies both before and after the flexure supporting structure are analyzed under different working conditions using CAD/CAE engineering analysis software. The effectiveness of this flexure supporting structure can be substantiated through comparative analysis of finite element model deformation. The reliability of the mirror supporting structure is finally determined by the imaging quality of camera tested under field conditions.

Abstract:The design requirements for the primary mirror sub-assembly of a space camera are: its dynamic stiffness is above 90 Hz; the synthesis face figure error (P-V value) for the primary mirror is less than 632.28 nm, and the maximum deflection is less than 30 μm, when the primary mirror sub-assembly is subject to 1 g gravity and a uniform temperature rise of 4℃ in X, Y, Z directions. Analysis and calculations show that if the primary mirror sub-assembly is a rigid support, the synthesis face figure error will go far beyond the design requirement; but if it is a flexible support, the error will generally be within the limits specified. The primary mirror sub-assembly must therefore be a flexible support design, and the determination of height and thickness of mirror supporting ribs is the key to a good flexible support design. If flexibility is too high, dynamic stiffness and the maximum deflections of the primary mirror sub-assembly can not satisfy the design requirement; if flexibility is too low, synthesis face figure errors will not meet the design requirements. It is concluded from calculations that when the flexible support rib is 46 mm high, and 1.7 mm thick, the response value of the primary mirror sub-assembly satisfies the design requirements.

Abstract:This paper describes the basic principle of wavelength scanning interferometer and analyzes its characteristics. Their merits and application fields are shown by comparing wavelength scanning interferometer with conventional hardware phase-shifting interferometer. For tunable semiconductor laser from American New Focus Company as example, hardware of realizing wavelength tuning is depicted simply. Algorithms of wavelength scanning interferometer are divided into three kinds: weighted multi-step phase shifting algorithm, the algorithm based on Fourier-transform technique and multi-wavelength algorithm. Their merits and application areas are pointed out through narrating and analyzing them in detial. Furthermore, a new algorithm based on Fourier-transform technique combining with different calculations is proposed, which is suitable to measure steps. The new algorithm overcomes the disadvantages of old one needing datum reference and plane of reference, increasing this algorithm's utility.
Abstract:The structure of an ordinary piezoelectric transducer (PZT) used as an optical phase-shifter is optimized using the active vibration-resistance techniques for phase-shifting interferometer to improve its mechanical properties with adequate micro-displacement. As the kernel part of a mechano-electronic feedback system of the vibration-resistant interferometer, the optimized PZT works as an optical phase-modulator and a vibration-compensated controller at the same time. On-line testing shows the new structure of PZT phase shifter has gained a time response above 1 000 Hz at amplitude of (/2, and a displacement of about 6 μm.

Abstract:An improved design of splitters has been proposed using the vector diffraction theory to narrow the gap between the design and the splitting effect due to the fact that the real period length, grating depth and substrate depth are not considered in the traditional splitter design. The major difference between the traditional design and the improved design lies in whether the effect of the real grating parameters on the incident beam is taken into consideration while the transmittance function is calculated. Experimental results show that, in comparison with the traditional design, the improved design is closer to reality.
Abstract:A low background radiometric calibration facility (LBRCF) consists of chambers and blackbodies, and it features modular structure and optical deflection. The modular structure enables LBRCF to perform several functions, such as radiator calibration, radiometer calibration and radiometric tracing to the source. In LBRCF, standard radiation, reference radiation and the radiation under calibration are coaxial by optical deflection, and the use of large-scale sliding tables is therefore avoided. During operation, LBRCF can be pumped to a vacuum level of 1.33×10-2 Pa (10-4 mmHg). With liquid nitrogen filled, the background temperature of LBRCF is below 80K. All these characteristics enables LBRCF to do spectroradiometry calibration in the target temperature range -60℃ to 80℃.

Abstract:In order to improve the machinability and machining accuracy of glass fibre reinforced plastic (GFRP), GFRP is finish cut using ultrasonic vibration. Experimental results indicate that the phase parameters of GFRP fibres with respect to cutting direction change in the circumferential direction at cycle; the variation of surface roughness with the phase angle under different cutting conditions is sinusoidal with maximum roughness at 45?; an increase in amplitude causes an obvious drop in roughness; the variation of roughness with cutting speed is extremal, and roughness is minimum at 100 m/min; the surface roughness goes down when the feed is less than 0.06 mm, the roughness increases much faster when the feed is more than 0.06 mm, and the increase in roughness slows down when the feed is more than 0.09 mm; the influence of cutting depth on roughness is a monotonous rising trend. It is concluded from the experimental results that ultrasonic vibration cutting can half the surface roughness and improve the machining quality of GFRP.

Abstract:Data-joint transmission, a new way of data transmission, is proposed to make the data transmission easy in the DSP real-time image processing system. Taking TMS320C6201 DSP as an example, DMA is used to support several structural data transmission functions, and rational joint of image data can be easily achieved by writing the control words into the DMA registers, thereby improving the DSP data transmission efficiency. Experimental results prove that data-joint transmission is feasible and efficient, and it can be used to significantly improve the real-timeness of DSP image processing system.
Abstract:A restoration scheme is proposed for space-variant image degradation resulting from curvature of field in imaging systems. Providing that the inverse transfer function of an imaging system is represented as the Taylor polynomial series, due to the fact that the product of the inverse transfer function and a degraded image is the Fourier transform of the corresponding restored image, and consequently, the image is restored by computing the linear combination of the original image and its derivative images. The actual restoration results demonstrate that the restoration scheme makes the definition of a space-variant degraded photo roughly uniform in the entire image region.

Abstract:Optical thin film at non-normal incidence is equivalent to a combination of a dichroic linear polarization and a retarder, and it can be described in Jones calculus. This feature can be used to cancel the unwanted polarization effect in an optical system, and to fabricate phase retarders. The polarization characteristics of the corner-cube prism for YAG laser are analyzed, and two kinds of optical thin films are designed to compensate its polarization properties. The phase shift of a dielectric media HR film is then analyzed and optimized to obtain a dielectric media polarization-preserved HR film.
