Abstract:A wet-etch figuring method is presented to repair the form error of optical surface to avoid the subsurface damage and surface pollution caused by traditional polishing technology. The Marangoni effect is used to control the dwell time and dwell area of chemical solvent,and the optical surface is repaired by program control of a digital system. The surface roughness of the optical surface before and after processing is measured by a profilometer. Experimental results show that the form error of the optical surface can be decrease from 1.22 λ(λ=632 nm) to 0.66 λ by the method in many wet-etch and a little wipe off surface figuring,but the optic surface roughness is invariable in test.The results also indicate that the method can improve the laser threshold of optical element.

Abstract:A novel algorithm to solve dwell time based on linear algebra (matrix-based algorithm) is discussed,in which math model changes the fabrication process from convolution to matrix product,so that the calculation of the dwell time becomes a solution to linear equations. Traditional factorization methods such as Gaussian elimination and total least squares can not be used because the linear equations are severely ill condition. So, the Tikhonov regularization is used to solve the ill-posed problem caused by meterage error,and the regularization parameter is determined adaptive method without any prior knowledge. By comparing with different algorithms, the advantages of the matrix-based algorithm are obviously with the precision enhancing 30%. In the end, an error data is solved with actual parameters using the matrix-based algorithm. The simulation results show that the convergence rates of the PV and RMS values can reach up to 0.48 and 0.62, respectively. The matrix-based algorithm can satisfy the requirement of fabrication very well.

Abstract:With 840 l/mm transmission grating (made in house) behind the exit of Spherical Grating Monochromator (SGM) in Spectral Radiation Standard and Metrology (U27) beamline, the dispersion of exit beam and the contributions of different orders were analyzed. The results of higher order harmonics suppression by different thickness Al filters were given in the region of 17~33 nm. The results show that when the thickness of Al filter is 400 nm, and the wavelength between 17~33 nm, the contributions of higher orders to the detector signal are restricted to less than 2%, and the Photon Diode (PD) intensity is strong enough. After being corrected by quantum efficiency of the PD detector, the higher order contributions are less than 0.6%, which is important for calibration absolute reflectivities of multilayer and detector.

Abstract:An all-fiber flat-top interleaver of Cascaded M-Z Interferometer (CMZI) using a 2×2 and two 3×3 fiber couplers with approximate rectangular wavelength response was developed.The relationships among the coupling ratios of the couplers, the length difference of interference arms, and the intensity transmission spectrum were analyzed. The results indicate that a uniform flat-top spectral response can be obtained by the configuration when the length difference of interference arms and the coupling coefficient of the couplers are some certain values and the passband and stopband of optical interleaver can be improved remarkably. Compared with conventional CMZI, the most advantage of the present method is that the coupling ratio of couplers can be controlled accurately. Finally,a novel structure of interleaver is fabricated using fused biconical taper technics in experiment. The experiment results agree with the analytical ones well.

Abstract:A novel image encryption approach based on a new 2D chaotic map and consisting of left map and right map utilizing image segmentation was proposed. The chaotic encryption of image is realized by processing image stretch-and-fold. Firstly, a square image was divided into two isosceles triangles along the diagonal, utilizing the difference of the pixel numbers of two adjacent columns of the triangles, each pixel in a column was inserted to the next adjacent column. Then, the original image could be stretched to a line. Finally, the line was folded over to a new square image whose size was the same as the original image. The process was invertible,so that the positions of image pixels could be used in image encryption. Taking the numbers of the left map and the right map as the keys, the algorithm of the map was formulated, the method of key generation was designed and the security of the proposed image encryption was analyzed. The simulation results show that the proposed encryption approach is valid. When the key is 64 bits, the whole key space size is 1.84×1019 and the speed of encryption is 3 Mb/s. The image encryption has several advantages such as rapid speeds, high security and without message loss and it is easy for hardware/software realization.

Abstract:In order to describe the lip contours in a lip reading system automatically and fleetly, orthogonal compression transformation was applied to the feature extraction of lip contours. Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) and Discrete Cosine Transform(DCT) were used to get the descriptors of lip contours in the asymmetrical lip contour model. Then the Hidden Markov Model (HMM) was trained using two kinds of descriptors as the eigenvectors of lip contours. The experiments based on isolated Chinese words show that the number of DCT descriptors needed is 15, while the number of DFT descriptors is 20 at the same recognition rate of 40%. Experiments also show that the computing quantity and the consuming time are reduced obviously by the DCT at the same recognition rate.

Abstract:A novel fusion algorithm for remote sensing image based on the second generation Curvelet transform is proposed. The histogram matching between the Pan image with high spatial resolution and the band image to be fused in the Ms images is performed to eliminate the spectral differences,and the histogram matched Pan image and the band image to be fused in the Ms images are decomposed by the Curvelet transform. Then, some fusion rules are employed to obtain the Curvelet coefficients of the fused image. Finally, the inverse Curvelet transform is performed to obtain the fused Ms image with high spatial resolution. Using the proposed method to simulate several sets of IKONOS images, experimental results demonstrate that the total spectrum preservation is improved by 10.54% compared with the Intensity-hue-saturation (IHS) transform method and the spatial quality is improved by 0.81%~1.12% compared with the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) method. The proposed algorithm also can overcome the high spectrum distortion of the IHS method and the low spatial quality of the DWT method, so that the proposed algorithm can not only improve the spatial quality of the fused Ms images effectively, but also make the fused images in little spectrum distortion.

According to shift theorem of Fourier transform, the algorithm employs the phase spectrum difference in polar coordinates of the sequence of two frame images of a moving target to search displacement through detecting the period of the phase spectrum difference or computing the slope of its section. The vectorial filtering is used to reduce noise and keep the period characteristic, and the sectional fitting is used to compute the displacement of the slope. The experimental results show that the algorithm can give the displacement of moving target with the accuracy of 1 pixel.
Abstract:An illumination-independent edge detection and fuzzy enhancement algorithm based on wavelet transform is proposed to extract edges out of a non-uniform weak illumination image. By educing the image wavelet transform formula from the image formation model and CCD camera imaging formula, the pixels’ wavelet module coefficients in the edge area of the image are analyzed and compared, and an illumination-independent wavelet edge detection formula insensitive to illumination is designed.

Abstract:Because of atmospheric turbulence, the performance of high resolution imaging of large optical instruments is severely limited. Speckle imaging is one of ways to eliminate atmospheric blur based on recording series of images with short exposure to freeze the turbulence to obtain restoration image for reconstruction. By incorporating dynamic shrinkage of support region, a modified maximum likelihood blind deconvolution algorithm is proposed in this paper. The algorithm is applied to the restorations of short-exposure images of astronomical point source star, images of astronomical extended object and adaptive optics long exposure images of point source star. Experimental results prove that this algorithm works well not only for short exposure images of point source star, but also for images of astronomical extended object and adaptive optics long exposure images. The PSNR of reconstruction images is raised by over 10 percent. The novelty of this algorithm is that the support region of astronomical object can be contracted adaptively according to the threshold in reconstruction iterations.
