Abstract:The nonlinear optical properties of ZnO thin films deposited by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) technique are investigated. ZnO films are deposited on sapphire substrates at 200~500 ℃. XRD and SEM are used to investigate the crystalline quality. 1.06 μm wavelength beam output from a Nd:YAG laser is used as fundamental beam. The second-order and third-order susceptibility is studied. By comparing the second harmonic signal generated in a series of ZnO films with different growth temperatures, we conclude that a significant part of second harmonic (SH) signal is generated at the film deposited at appropriate temperature. The dependence of SH on the deposited temperatures is discussed. The second order susceptibility tensor χ (2)zzz=9.2 pm/V and third-order susceptibility χ(3) = 5.28×10-20 m2/V2are deduced for a film deposited at 250 ℃.

Abstract:A laser- produced plasma(LPP) source is built with water as target and a Nd:YAG laser as irradiate laser, the radiation of the LPP source at 11~20 nm is measured with an AXUV100 silicon photodiode combined with a McPHERSON model 247 grazing incidence monochromator, of which the monochromator resolution is Δλ≤0.075 nm, and the wavelength scanning interval is 0.5 nm. The experimental result demonstrates that the water target LPP source has EUV emission at 11~20 nm wavelength, which are all generated from electronic transitions in oxygen ions. In addition, to solve the erosion problem caused by the short distance between the laser-water action point and the nozzle, the distance is lengthened by heating the nozzle to reduce the effect caused by the evaporation and the adiabatic expansion.

Abstract:An impact drive rotary precision actuator with end-loaded piezoelectric cantilever bimorphs is proposed. According to finite element analysis and experiments of the dynamic characteristics of end-loaded piezoelectric cantilever bimorph, a certain method of fixed-frequency and adjustable-amplitude are confirmed to control the actuator.

Having the advantages of high-precision positioning ability, simple structure and only one percent cost of traditional impact drive mechanism, it is expected that the proposed actuator will be widely applied to precision industry.

Abstract:The performance of ultrasonic motor under abnormal conditions are researched, with five kinds of engineering plastics chosen as the rotor friction materials of traveling wave ultrasonic motor (TWUSM). By means of contrast test methods, effects of pre-load,degree of vacuum and surrounding temperature on friction driving properties of TWUSM are studied by using vacuum equipment and simulative TWUSM tester suitable. The results show that stalling torque increases and no load speed decreases with the increase of the pre-load and degree of vacuum. The no load speed decreases with the increase of surrounding temperature. Effects of degree of vacuum on contact states are analyzed by acoustics theory. The conclusion is that action of acoustic levitation makes dynamic contact force between stator and rotor reduce. The major reason the stalling torque in vacuum is higher than that in normal is that the effects of acoustic levitation decrease and the dynamic contact force increases.
Abstract:A set of micro-displacement actuator was developed and tested for the large area multi-object fiber spectroscopic telescope(LAMOST). Conventional techniques for micro-displacement mechanism with high accuracy and long travel in engineering applications are studied. In view of implementation principle of the active-motion mechanism in the LAMOST,integrated with precision lever,a scheme of stepper motor ,harmonic reducer and ball screw, the goal of both high accuracy and long travel is realized. The origins of error are investigated , before a computer look-up table is designed to calibrate transmission error and to improve absolute accuracy of the actuator. Measured with laser interferometer in laboratory,the actuator confirms itself that it can be used as micro-displacement actuator of the LAMOST, thanks to its resolution of 201 nm±48 nm and unidirectional accuracy of 237 nm(standard deviation) at a step of 10 μm.
Abstract:Two kinds of Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZI) were constructed by semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and linear optical amplifier (LOA), respectively. Based on rate equations, the pumping amplification and gain clamped behaviors of LOA are simulated. With the control of probe beam power and bias current, all-optical XOR functionality is simulated using integrated SOA-MZI and LOA-MZI numerical model at 40 Gbit/s. The performance of the XOR results is analyzed and compared by solving the rate equations numerically. The result differences of the XOR gates are explained from the structural properties. The theoretical results indicate that the high-speed operation is limited by the carrier recovery time in the SOA and LOA; the operation rate can be enhanced with appropriate bias current and probe beam power; LOA clamps the gain and improves tolerance against small signal distortion; the output signals of LOA-MZI have higher extinction ratio and lower power compared with SOA-MZI; LOA-MZI has better performance in output pulse shape than SOA-MZI.

The dual linear interpolation method is applied to the same 77 groups of data in comparison. The conclusion is that comparing to interpolation method, the BP NN method has higher precision and the BP NN method can avoid the problem of error estimation region in the interpolation method.

Abstract:Based on the analysis of the imaging process of optoelectronic imaging anti-ship missile, an automatic registration algorithm is proposed, and its basic idea is to decompose the transform model and simplify it step by step. Originally, the distortion between infrared and visible images is affine. First, by adjusting sensor parameters, the scaling change between images is eliminated and the affine transform is simplified into rigid transform. Then depending on image information, the centroid of the target's contour is computed by morphological edge detection and chosen as control point, which is used to eliminate the translational change between images and achieve the complete alignment. Finally, the registration effect is assessed by judging whether the sea-sky-lines of the two registered images are superposed and using the rule of root mean square error. The simulation experiments convince that the algorithm is accurate, fast, and can meet the precision requirement for target recognition, providing a good way for solving the difficult registration problem of small target images with different sensors.
Abstract:The principle of wavelength-matched demodulation of fiber Bragg grating(FBG) is introduced. The correlation functions of reflective spectra of sensor fiber grating and wavelength-matched fiber grating are analyzed. The correlation functions are linearity to photoelectric detector output signals. The wavelength-matched demodulation based on maximum correlation, extremum judgment of photodetector output signal, are only available for alike reflective spectra. When the peak value judgment of photodetector output signal is adopted,chirp effects in the FBG sensor lead to demodulation error of Bragg wavelength. Theoretical analysis and experimental investigation show that the deconvolution of photodetector output signal can eliminate Bragg wavelength demodulation error influenced by chirp effects in the FBG sensor.

Abstract:Based on the grid pixel structure of spatial light modulator(SLM) and CCD used in a hybrid optical/electronic joint transform correlator(JTC),the relationship among the structure parameters of SLM,CCD,Fourier transform lens and input images are presented. According to the relations,the JTC recognition processes are simulated with different distance between the object and the reference image which are equal in size:32×32 pixels.When the distance of the two input images is 64 pixels to 374 pixels,a perfect recognition result can be obtained. When the distance is less than 64 pixels,self-correlation peak and cross-correlation peak in the same order output signals can not be separated completely. The distance of more than 374 pixels results in the overlap of adjacent of correlation signals,and when the distance is more than 405 pixels,the JTC can not recognize the two input images.These simulation results have proved the theoretical analysis. The relationship is important to the configuration and application of JTC.
