Abstract:A laser-diode (LD) pumped Nd:YVO4 all-solid-state 355 nm continuous-wave (cw) ultraviolet laser with intracavity frequency tripling and efficient output was achieved by optimization design. By considering influence of the thermal lens effect of the Nd:YVO4 crystal, mode matching, phase matching et al on laser output power,a plate-concave cavity was designed finely. In cavity, the KTP crystal was used for second harmonic generation (SHG) of the fundamental 1 064 nm to generate 532 nm radiation, and the LBO crystal was used as a sum frequency (SM) of the 1064 nm radiation and the 532 nm radiation to generate 355 nm radiation. The cw 355 nm radiation of 6.4 mW is obtained with the pump power of 3 W. In comparison with the fold-cavity, the linear cavity has many advantages of more compact, easier for adjusting, and higher output power.
Abstract:A adjusting method of optically plane-concave laser resonator based on Gaussian beam is presented when the pump source is absent. A parallel incidence Gaussian beam through a lens system is used to hit on the concave mirror and the plane mirror of the plane-concave resonator. The importing of the lens system is to improve the adjusting precision of the beams reflected from the concave and the plane mirror by causing one beam size similar to another, because it can not get similar beam size reflected when a parallel incidence Gaussian beam is directly hit on the concave and the plane mirrors of the resonator. In the experiment, a He-Ne laser with waist of 0.6 mm is utilized to adjusting a plane-concave resonator with a concave mirror in a radius of 50 mm at measuring distance of 889 mm. The beam sizes reflected from the concave mirror and the plane mirror are 48 mm and 5.1 mm,respectively. The angle adjusting precision of the plane-concave resonator is 3.18'. TEM00 mode can be abtained by pumping the resonator module that has been adjusted with a LD. The results show that the adjusting method is simple and flexible, and can be used to separate the laser resonator and the pump source module.

With the thermo-electronic cooler and PC that can detect the circuit real-time, the temperature of the LD can be kept accurately. Primarily, the LD laser output power is 150 W, the stability of the constant temperature power is 0.2 ℃, and the laser line width is about 6 GHz in the experiment.

Abstract:To investigate the influence of the solar UV radiation on the absorptivity of the cavity of absolute radiometer of solar irradiance monitor on satellites, a simulated experiment is carried out in laboratory. A hydragyrum lamp with irradiance equaled to the total solar UV irradiance is used to irradiate the cavities. The change of the absorptivity of the cavity with the UV radiation quantum is measured by an integrating measurement instrument on the reflectance of black cavity within a full hemisphere (include the entrance of the Ulbrichtsphere), which can measure the absorbance of the mirror reflection and the diffused reflection in a high precision simultaneously. The results show that the UV radiation received by the solar irradiance monitor on FY-3 satellite will cause the absorptivity degradation of the cavity of absolute radiometers of 0.002% per year, and the most is 0.003% per year. The result is consistent with the changing instance of other absolute radiometers for measuring solar irradiance on other satellites basiclly. The experiment indicates that the UV irradiance has influence on the absorptivity of the cavity of absolute radiometer on satellites. The result also might supply essential reference for optimization, experiment, measurement and calibration of the solar irradiance monitor on satellites in future.
Abstract:A novel high-speed photopolarimeter is presented,in which a incident light is divided into multiple beams by a special metallic grating that can generate both reflective diffraction and transmission diffraction. The light fluxes of the four 1st order diffracted beams are linearly converted into four electrical signals by a photoelectric conversion circuit. A multilayer linear neural network model is set up whose inputs are the electrical signals, and outputs are the Stokes parameters of the incident light. The mapping relationship between the electrical signals and the Stokes parameters can be determined by training the neural network. After the electrical signals are measured, the unknown Stokes parameters of the incident light can be calculated via a trained neural network. The testing results show that the mean deviation of the measured and theoretical Stokes parameters is less than 2% at λ=632.8 nm. This instrument is compact,easy to install and characterized by fast response, high precision and damaging-free in working states.
Abstract:Through characteristic analysis of composite laser crystal, a thermal analysis model of rectangle composite crystal was introduced. In the thermal model,the composite crystal was characterized by axially symmetrical heating,fixed boundary temperature and coupled pump laser having Gaussian distribution. Based on the heat conductive equation and its boundary, the analytical solutions of interior temperature field and thermal deformation of YVO4-Nd:YVO4 composite crystal were obtained. The result shows that when the end-pumped power of diode laser is 20 W and the diameter of pump spot is 0.2 mm, the maximal temperature rise of YVO4-Nd:YVO4 composite crystal(the length of YVO4 crystal is 2 mm , the length of Nd:YVO4 crystal is 6 mm and the neodymium doped concentration in Nd:YVO4 crystal is 0.5 %) is 324.5℃, and thermal distortion on pump-face of composite crystal is 3.61 mm. Under the same pumped conditions, the maximal temperature rise is decreased by 23.4% using the composite crystal instead of Nd∶YVO4 crystal. This means it can reduce thermal effect influence of laser crystal and improve laser characteristics and performance, and also can solve nonuniform temperature rise and thermal fracture problems of laser crystal by high power diode laser end-pumped.

Abstract:A magneto-optic/eddy current imaging system is used to test the defects at the surface or the subsurface of the metal samples in this paper. Excited by alternating current signals, alternating current magneto field is made from the excitation coil, transient eddy current is induced at the surface and subsurface of the metal sample, and the eddy current magnetic field can influence the induced magnetic field of the excitation coil. If there are some defects in the sample, they will vary the distribution of eddy current field, and then change the whole magnetic field. The polarization of the light will have a deflection angle when the light penetrates the optical rotation crystal film. Meantime, a magnetic-optic sensor placed parallelly to the sample surface can convert this change into optical intensity change. Finally the optical intensity change is received with CCD to realize visual nondestructive testing. The experimental results show that the system is feasible and appropriate.

Abstract:A measuring method to terrain atmospheric visibility with forward scattered light and transmitted light was introduced. Visibility is expressed by ratio of the intensity of the scattered light to the intensity of transmitted light. Spatial filters are utilized to limit visual angle of scattered light and transmitted light, and background interferences of measured forward scattered light and atmospheric scattered light. Using the correlation detection, atmospheric background noise is eliminated and signal-to-noise ratio for scattered light to background is enhanced. In order to keep spot of being measured light beam on the photo-detector unchanged, step index optical fiber is used in the set for improving the influence of thermal deformation on measuring error. Another characteristic is that changing in the light source and pollution to the optical elements may be ignored. The correlation coefficient between visibility from proposed method and accurate transmission method is about 98.2%.

Abstract:Two kinds of alignment errors between the gyro coordinate system and platform coordinate system were introduced when Electrostatic-Suspended Gyroscope(ESG) was used in measuring drift angle on servo turntable by Position Sensitive Detector(PSD). Then formulas for calculating the coordinate change of spot center of reflected beam on PSD caused by the alignment errors were derived, and the calculating methods of servo following errors were presented when alignment errors existed between the gyro coordinate system and platform coordinate system. According to the structure and the working condition of ESG, a group of data were chosen to calculate the servo following errors. The computational results show that the first error is two orders of magnitude larger than the second one. In order to reduce the system servo following error, the first error must be less than 4'.

Abstract:MSE (Minimum Mean Square Error) is widely used as the criteria in image coding algorithm for providing much detail and important information of small target. In order to remain more detail information, an algorithm was proposed for determining the significant coefficients and the lifting value. The final coding bit-plane can be estimated by the entropy estimation of the DWT coefficients, and also the significant coefficients can be defined and the lifting value can be determined. The difference between proposed algorithm and ROI (Region-of-Interest) is that the definition of significant coefficients and the lifting value can be obtained from the coding image and the given coding rate so that the algorithm can be regard as the generality of ROI coding algorithm, but more flexible. The experimental results show that the small targets in remote-sensing images can be saved validly, while the detail information in reconstructed image are lost a little.

The mean and covariance of Cartesian measurement errors have been derived and the debiasing compensation is applied to SCMKF algorithm, which is helpful to improve long-range tracking accuracy. Simulation results show that the tracking accuracy of SCMKF is much higher than those of EKF and conventional CMKF, and the SCMKF provides faster convergence rate than the EKF.

Abstract:Data collected by CCD camera is a function of wavelength in Spectral-Domain Optical Coherence Tomography (SDOCT) system. By consideration of a wavelength-depended response characteristics of CCD and the Fourier transform relationship between time (distance) and frequency (wave-number), the CCD data must be responsivity-compensated and resampled by linear interpolation in frequency space.
