Abstract:Based on the different noise machanisms of the intracavity-doubling quasi-three-level and four-level lasers,the blue(473 nm) and green (532 nm)lasers are made to study their noise characteristics using the same laser crystal (Nd∶YAG) and the same doubling crystal(LiB3O5). The magnitude of the noise is >120% at output power of 50 mW in a intracavity-doubling quasi-three-level laser, but in a similar intracavity-doubling four-level laser,it is <5% at output power of 60 mW. It is shown that the noise in intracavity-doubling quasi-three-level laser is larger than that in four-level laser system. These properties of high-frequency noise in intracavity-doubling laser have been analysed through coupled-differential equation models and analysis results point out that these properties are caused by the reabsorption losses in quasi-three-level intracavity-doubling laser system.The noise in tracavity-doubling quasi-three-level laser will be decreased if reabsorption losses are controlled.

Abstract:The synchrotron radiation spectra of spherical grating monochromator (SGM) working in soft X-ray and VUV region are often contaminated by significant amount of higher order harmonics, They cannot be suppressed completely by suitable filters. Higher order contributions in the spectral radiation standard and metrology beamline were researched using transmission grating (made in house) and IRD AXUV100G (USA) photodiode detector. The exit beam was dispersed with the transmission grating behind exit slit of the monochromator, and the contributions of the different orders were analyzed. The higher order distributions were quantitatively determined for three gratings in line densities of 1800, 600 and 200 l/mm. It is shown that in wavelength between 5~15 nm the contributions of the higher orders to the detector signal are restricted to less than 7% even without filters; In wavelength region between 5 nm and 34 nm the contributions of the higher orders to the detector signal are less than 14% with proper Al, Si3N4 and Zr filters; after modified by quantum efficiency of the detector, the higher order contributions are restricted to less than 6.5%. The research also shows that higher orders are almost totally suppressed by MgF2 filter when the wavelength between 115~140 nm.

Abstract:In order to eliminate the distortion caused by the astigmatism from a compensate prism to improve the image quality of the optical system in a old no-distortion fingerprint scanner, a new method for eliminating the distortion using a cylindrical system combined with a telecentric lens is proposed. The double cylindrical system can reduce magnification in one direction that the prism doesn't do it,and the telecentric system can eliminate the trapezoid distortion when the objective and image is tilted. A computer model is established using this idea to adjust the suitable merit function to optimize the aberration,a higher imaging quality result is obtained comparing with the prism compensated method. From the example design,it is shown that using cylindrical system and telecentric lens method,the MTF in finger capture position is bigger than 0.377 in 5 lp/mm(equivalent 40 lp/mm in image area)and bigger than 0.139 lp/mm in 10 lp/mm(equivalent 80 lp/mm in image area) in most of the fields of view,the MTF value is 1.6 times as large as that obtained by the prism compensate method,also the image quality is much even in every field of view.

Abstract:The diffusion equation of the photon transport in a multi-layered medium with mismatched refractive index is analyzed,and the accurate solution of the diffuse equation is set up. The equation is checked by Monte-Carlo simulation. The comparison between the spatially resolved reflectance of mismatched media and Monte-Carlo simulation shows an excellent agreement between our theory and Monte-Carlo simulation. Meanwhile, the effect of the variety of refractive index on spatially resolved reflectance caused by finite size flat beam is discussed. Experimental results show that diffuse result changes with the variety of the refractive index, while the refractive index is changed at the range of 1.35~1.45, and the maximum error is 7%.
Abstract:A new quick measuring method for liquid surface tension by a parallel rectangle beam of diode laser and two pieces of linear array CCD sensors is presented. To avoid individual influence, liquid surface tension is measured by detecting angles of incidence at cylindrical liquid menisci instead of detecting climb height of liquid on flashboard. The relation between surface tension and the angle of incidence, and calculation formulas for the incidence angle measured with CCDs are developed based on the fundamentals of plate insertion method, the parameters are designed, and their errors are analyzed.The analysis shows that by a wider laser beam and big incidence angles, as well as keeping a long distance between two CCD sensors, the accuracy of liquid surface tension measurement will be improved. It is also found that the width detecting errors of laser beam is an important factor to accuracy of liquid surface tension measurement. For example, to measure water surface tension with a laser beam width of 1 mm and errors of 5 μm, the surface tension measurement accuracy is 1%. If reduce the beam width errors to 2 μm, the surface tension measurement accuracy will be 0.5%. Experimental results have proved that the surface tension of water measurement accuracy is better than 1% with this method.

Abstract:There are two growth modes (monolayer-by-monolayer and bilayer-by-bilayer) under different conditions that correspond to monolayer and bilayer RHEED (Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction) oscillations when GaAs epitaxial layer grows on GaAs (110) substrate. TEM (Transmission Electron Microscope) and photoluminescence measurements at room temperature and low temperature show that the quantum wells have very bad optical property under bilayer-by-bilayer growth mode and have nice optical property and rough interfaces under monolayer-by-monolayer growth mode. The results show that using different RHEED oscillations under different growth conditions, it is possible to grow high quality quantum wells on GaAs(110) surface.

Abstract:For an optically readable infrared imaging array device with a bi-material beam micro-mirror integrated structure, the effect of mechanical characteristic of the pixel on its performance was studied. Thermal-mechanical sensitivity was analyzed by theoretic calculation and ANSYS simulation to optimize the geometric parameter and the thermal-mechanical sensitivity of 2.14×10-3 rad/K was obtained. Based on the study of frequency and damping, the effects of mechanical characteristic on thermal vibration noise and mechanical stability were analyzed. The results show that the mechanical impulse inducing fracture is 8 945 g,and when the working pressure is determined to be 50~200 Pa, the thermal vibration noise and noise induced by ambient mechanical vibration can be neglected. The results satisfy the requirement for infrared imaging device in high sensitivity and low noise.
Abstract:The hysteresis nonlinearity of the piezoceramic actuator can not satisfy the congruency property of the classical Preisach model so that the modeling error is large when applying the classical Preisach model to the piezoceramic actuator. In order to improve the accuracy in hysteresis modeling of the piezoceramic actuator, the generalized nonlinear Preisach model and its new numerical implementation based on the nonlinear Preisach model with some modifications are presented. The new model has equal vertical chord property of minor loops to relax the congruency property of the classical Preisach model.Experimental results show that the maximum of the absolute error predicted by the generalized nonlinearity Preisach model reduces 0.22 μm and the root mean square error reduces 0.11 μm compared to the classical Preisach model. The generalized nonlinear Preisach model can describe the hysteresis of the piezoceramic actuator more accurately.

According to the experiment requirement, an experimental platform mainly based on the device of Micro Aerial Vehicle(MAV) and a new control system found on C8051F020 SCM were designed. In the platform, C8051F020 SCM was the MCU; the phase information of the propeller's main-shaft was tested with the micro position sensor and the PCA capture function of C8051F020 SCM. The four phase information of a propeller's main-shaft was gained by collecting the output signal of a position sensor; the motor speed was controlled by the output signal of PWM generated by C8051F020 SCM for controlling the motor speed up; a high-speed camera was touched off by the interrupt signal from the PCA capture in order to realize the synchronization between the speeding up of the motor and the taking pictures of the camera. This control system has compacted configuration and high reliability. Finally, using this system to control the MAV for simulating the forward flying, the electronic collector curve of MAV was obtained. It is proved that the proposed method and the experiment platform based this method can be used to measure the blade pitch and have met the design requirement completely.

Abstract:To improve the north-finding speed of the traditional mechanical gyroscope, a coarse north-finding method through electronic compass is presented. Based on the principle of electronic compass, the angle values between the north and heading of the system are real-time acquired through the digital port and serial port of the electronic compass using DSP processor, and the heading of the system is driven to the coarse north direction through the acquired angle values. The automatization of gyroscope coarse north-finding instead of the track reversion point way is achieved successfully. Experiments show that the time of coarse north-finding is reduced from 10 min to 1.5 min, and the precision within 30' can reach the requirement of precise north-finding.

Abstract:A system based on atomic force microscope(AFM) and a (Berkovich) diamond tip was developed for nanohardness and elastic modulus measurements. This system can directly gain the load-displacement curves that couldn't be obtained from indent software of AFM itself. The diamond tip was controlled by sending signal to achieve loading and unloading and gathering the real-time data. In this way the load-displacement curve and data could be acquired directly. Single point experiments were conducted on single-crystal copper and single-crystal aluminum thin films. TriboIndenter produced by Hysitron Inc was used to do the validated experiments. The results show that the system is suited for nanohardness measurement of the softer materials. By analysis on the effects of substrate material on nanohardness and elastic modulus, it can be known that the substrate has great influence on the mechanical characteristic of the film when the thickness of film is less than 5 to 10 times the peak depth. Nanohardness increases with a decrease in the indentation depth, which indicates a strong size effect, but there is no significant effect on the elastic modulus based the load-displacement curves.

Abstract:A new algorithm based on one-dimensional Wiener Filter (1DWF) is proposed to restore the image degraded in a deterministic way by motion-blurred and in a stochastic way by additive white noise. From the theoretical derivation of the new algorithm, this paper shows that it is possible to restore the two-dimensional images with 1 DWF, and the computational requirements of the 1DWF method are just one third of the old Wiener filter's. The experiment result of the 1DWF method shows that 1DWF can restore test images, 512×512 size and quantized in 8 bits, in 36 ms with Intel Pentium 4 3.0 GHz CPU. It means that the 1DWF method can reach speeds of restoration in 25 frames per second just with one CPU. And the experiment result also reveals that the quali ty of the images restored is no noticeable difference between the 1DWF method and the old Wiener filter.
Abstract:A wavelet de-noise model and wavelet neural network model are presented to predict drift errors of FOG and to enhance identification precision. The method utilizes wavelet analysis to remove high frequency noise and to improve its signal-to-noise ratio. De-noise signal is looked on as the desired output. Then, the network is trained and the weight matrices of neural network are modified by the recursive least square method with forgetting factor. This algorithm without any matrix operation can reduce the computation time and greatly improve real-time performance at fast convergence speed and high precision. The simulation results show that the identification error is within 1.5%. The method establishes the foundations for identification and compensation of the drift error effectively and accurately in inertial navigation systems.

Abstract:An auto-adapted weight filtering method is put forward. The validity of the pixel is analyzed with a Rank-order Absolute Difference (ROAD) method, if the pixel is noise, the pixel will be reconstructed by the neighbor pixels with different weights, and the weight of the neighbor pixel is correlative with its validity. At last, not only the impulse noise is restrained, but also the detail of the image is reserved. Experiments show that when using the auto-adapted weight filtering to get rid of the impulse noise, an evident improvement is found compared with the general method, both in visual image quality and quantitative measures of signal restoration. When the impulse noise occupies 35% in image, the effect of data recovery by this method can be increased by 10 dB compared with conventional median filter.
Abstract:An improved TennenGrad criterion function and an improved Laplace criterion function are proposed for microscopic coarse autofocusing, which use Sobel operators and Laplacian operators to convolve and add together the absolute values of matrix pixels for a image. Several different existed criterion functions in microscope autofocusing are compared and analyzed. To judge the efficiencies of criterion functions, function criteria are analysed with smoothness, efficiency and robustness as the main criteria. In the CCD camera microscope experiment system, a micro accelerometer is used as the measured object. Three autofocusing strategies are proposed and compared, and the n-pixel grey level method is preferred for microscopic autofocusing. Coarse autofocusing results show that the improved TennenGrad function has the best performance, autofocusing range is 210 μm, and autofocusing resolution is 7 μm. Image results show that autofocusing curve becomes smoother, and the number of extremums reduce from 5 to 0.

Abstract:Based on psychological distance, a spatial-distance weighting function is presented to quantify the influence of spatial distances on filtering effect. Combining this formula with the traditional Directional-Distance Filter(DDF), a new filter, Adaptive spatial Distance-weighted Directional-distance Filter (ADWDDF), is proposed. The experimental results show that the new filter, compared with the traditional DDF and several other representative vector filters, provides better performance and filtering effect on noise attenuation, chromaticity retention, and edge or detail preservation. In particular, when the contaminated rate is not larger than 10%, the proposed algorithm provides a significant performance improvement with a decrease of about 1/3 in Normalized Mean Square Error(NMSE) and a decrease of more than 50% in Normalized Color Difference(NCD) averagely, compared with the traditional DDF.
