Abstract:A new focusing system was designed by optimizing its optical properties in different beam currents and energies. Damped least square method was used to design a single lens and lens system.The single lens was designed through combination of separating and assembling, and the ratio of aberration coefficient and focus length at infinite magnification was chosen as the objective. Both optical properties and practicability were considered when choosing the working modes between lenses. Collimated mode was used in the larger beam current while crossover mode was in the smaller one. Axial aberration and magnification were the objective in bigger beam current and in the smaller one respectively when optimizing the two lenses. The results show that the resolution is 31.52 nm (the magnification is -0.539 095 5 and the aberration is 16.33 nm) and 4.73 nm (the magnification is 0.084 359 9 and the aberration is 2.15 nm) under beam current of 2 nA and 2.5 pA. The lens system can work under different beam energies when adjusting the potential on the second plane and the space between the second plane and the third plane of the lens 2, which will enlarge its applications, and the etching, deposition, implantation and imaging can be realized in the same system.

Abstract:For detecting side cooling uniformity of laser medium, a detecting method based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer is presented. Theoretical analysis indicates that the interference fringe produced by a reference beam and a beam passing the medium is also isotherm on the radial face of the laser medium. The simulations on the temperature fields of uniformly and non-uniformly cooled mediums by heat analysis software indicate that: if the interference fringe is circle with the center of the radial face as the center, the sides of the medium contact closely with the copper cooler, the medium is cooled uniformly. If the interference fringe is distorted to a certain direction, the medium contacts loosely with the copper cooler in the direction. In the experiment, a distorted interference fringe is obtained by detecting a 3 mm×3 mm×5 mm sized, a-cut, 0.5% Nd3+ -doped Nd:YVO4 embedded in a copper cooler. A circular interference fringe is obtained after reassembling the copper cooler according to the distorted direction of the distorted interference fringe. Experimental result agrees with the theoretical analysis very well, it has proved that Mach-Zehnder interferometry can detect side cooling uniformity of laser medium.

Based on nutation stability analysis of a large-inertia and high-speed rotor using two-frequency Bode diagram, a new proof-phase-margin method of cross-feedback parameter design based on two-frequency Nyquist contour is proposed.

Abstract:The surface crack identification and detection of a corn kernel are studied based on digital image processing. Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps(CCFL) are chosen to construct the image capturing illumination environment, and a set of image acquisition system of the corn kernel is established. Then, a surface crack detection method is developed based on morphology of the corn kernel. A binary image including the cracks, boundary and noises is picked up with horizontal and vertical Sobel operators. Then, a majority of non-crack information is eliminated by image subtraction after finding the tip of the corn kernel using its morphology. Finally, the cracks are extracted and the absolute and relative lengths of cracks are calculated according to the crack length and position. A detecting experiment is carried out by 50 kernels with cracks and 50 kernels without cracks selected from NongDa-4967 and NongDa-3138 (two novel varieties of corn seed developed by China Agricultural University) respectively. The results indicate that the detecting accuracy are 94% and 90%. It can meet the requirement of the accuracy of surface crack detection of corn kernel.
Abstract:A vision-based low altitude tracking system mounted on an unmanned aerial vehicle is established. The system is composed of ground station and on-board module, and constructed two parallel control loops: automatic tracking control loop and manual intervening control loop. The multi-threshold segmentation algorithm with adaptive tolerance based on gray-level histogram is presented,and a object dynamic clustering algorithm with double sub-windows is analyzed. The pan and tilt head are controlled based on the miss distance of the object centroid. The system can switch smoothly from one control loop to another as the miss distance is replaced by the coordinates of the mouse relative to the center of the monitor view. The motion is segmented even in the shade by several appended thresholds for varying illunination. The object centroid position is obtained correctly through 2~3 iterations in the process of dynamic clustering, and the disturbance of other objects is removed. The system can produce good tracking results at a frame rate of 15 frame/s. The results show that the algorithms and methods are available, and the system has a certain extent practicability.

Abstract:An eye-gaze tracking method and an automatic adjusting method for object lens of CCD camera in combining the aperture regulation with zooming and focusing are proposed by analyzing the geometrical positions of two LEDs,a camera,an eye cornea and its glints. The aperture of CCD lens is controled to adapt the system to external lighting circumstances based on the average brightness values of the processed images.A SMD operator is used for focusing roughly and quickly in a large scale for obtaining the eye glints to control a pan-tilt unit for eye aiming and eye tracking,and regulating the focus of the lens to locate the eye and adapt the head movements in a head-shoulder image. The FSWM operator is applied in the determined window in the eye region to focus automatically for getting clear images. If the pupil can be extracted from the image, the average gradient of the edge points of the pupil can be used for real-time focusing. Experiments show that this system can track the eye and acquire clear eye images in real time by the adaptive regulation of the CCD camera in different external lightings and user position conditions.

Abstract:A novel polarization-independent Frequency Selective Surface(FSS) is designed by altering traditional Y slot element arrangement. Based on the modal matching method, the frequency response of this structure is analyzed to obtain the plot of frequency versus transmission coefficient. With coating technology and lithography, the FSS samples of conventional and improved arrangement are made respectively. The tests under different polarized waves at 30° incidence angle are given in the microwave darkroom. The measured curve shows good agreement with the simulated curve. Both of the numerical analysis and experiment results show that the response of FSS with the conventional arrangement is changed very distinctly with the source polarization, the increase of transmission loss is -1.09 dB; but with the modified structure, the increase is only -0.25 dB. The improved Y element array can be resonant at a single frequency and has good polarization independency. It provides a new design method for that the polarization situation of a source is completely unpredictable.
Abstract:In order to improve the flight resolution of a aerial camera, a new Model Reference Adaptive Sliding Mode Control (MRAC-SMC) solution is presented. The model reference adaptive algorithm is used to identify time-variant system parameters and modify switching function of sliding mode controller,and the variable rate reaching law based on attenuation control is taken as the switching function of SMC to quicken the convergence in system and reduce the chattering caused by switching.

Therefore, forward image motion compensation system based on MRAC-SMC can improve velocity tracking accuracy and robust performance and can overcome the effect of uncertain time-varying forces also.
