Abstract:A new liquid crystal (LC) micro-lens array is proposed based on structure and design methods of the single circular hole electrode LC lens with 128×128 elements. The LC micro-lens array is an electrically driving and controlling micro-lens array with tunable focal length. And the Indium Tin Oxides (ITO) glasses are used as the top and bottom substrates of the LC micro-lens array. The top electrode patterns are got by the methods of lithography and hydrochloric acid etching. The top electrode patterns have 128×128 elements. Every element is a single circular hole of 50μm diameter. The distance between circular holes is 100μm. The bottom electrode is just ITO film. And the thickness of LC layer between the top and bottom electrode is about 20μm. The focal length of the LC micro-lens array can be electric tunable from 50μm to 400μm under operating voltage from 0.2 VRMS to 5.0 VRMS. The result of the test shows that the point spread function of the LC micro-lens array is close to the theory values. And the relationship of operating voltage and focal length is inverse proportion. The imaging characteristic of the LC micro-lens array is like the imaging characteristic of conventional optical micro-lens array.  
Abstract:The false alarm rate of Ultraviolet (UV) warning is low, but it’s detecting distance is low too. On the other round the Infrared (IR) warning’s performance is opposite. Therefore we put forward a new kind of UV and IR composite alarm warning system. We analyzed the detecting mechanism, capture condition and effecting distance of the UV Warning System. Hereby, we put forward a mode which can estimate calculate the detecting distance of UV Warning System based on Lowtran. At the same time, we calculated the UV Warning System’s detecting distance to solid fuel missile. We analyzed the factor which can effect the detecting distance, and put forward a new way of matching the diagnostic image which can improve the detecting distance and based on Gabor. Of course we did some experiments to validate our theory and detecting mode. From these experiments we can clearly know that the detecting distance veracity can be controlled below 5%, and the warning distance can be improved from before 5km to now 8km. Using our detecting mode the complex warning system’s detecting efficiency and important ground equipments’ warning viability can be enormously improved. This mode can be used in other optics detection equipments.

Abstract:In view of the primary mirror of large optical system, with the statistical optics theory and Harvey-Shack scatter theory, the mathematical model between the root-mean square (RMS) errors of mid- and high-frequency errors and the ratio of scattering loss (RSL) was established by assuming that the surface error is a stationary Gaussian random process, and the numerical computation and actual surface profile data of the model was validated. It is found that the RSL increases almost in exponential form with the increasing of RMS and the mathematical model agrees with the simulation results very well within the focused radius. The influence of the mid- and high-frequency errors on the RSL is less than 1% when the RMS of the mid- and high frequency errors are less than λ/63 respectively and the analysis provides the support for the further finishing and figuring of the optical surface profile.

Abstract:“KuaFu Mission” is an “L1 + Polar” triple satellite project. KuaFu is composed of three spacecraft. A white light coronagraph (2.5 R⊙ to 15 R⊙ ) is a key instrument in the “KuaFu A”. It is the first time for us to fabricate the satellite-based coronagraph. The coronagraph requires the strict stray light suppressing. In this paper, based on the principle of the coronagraph, its optical character and the basic rules of suppressing the stay light are analyzed. The external occurred white light coronagraph is designed. In this system, the FOV is 4 degree, the resolution is 14 arc sec, the aperture is 30mm, the focal length is 200mm, the total length is 1080mm, the length of the optical structure is 370mm, and the MTF value at 37pl/mm is above 0.5. With the help of the conjugated stops, the four main stray light sources are totally suppressed, and a very high stray light suppressing level is obtained.  
Abstract:Phase shift laser range finding is widely used in many fields with its high measurement resolution. Measuring rate and resolution of the whole range finding system is determined by those of phase shift detecting and is influenced by the crosstalk for a given modulation frequency. Based on these, a new magnification of phase shift detecting is proposed which improves the measurement resolution 1/N times without increasing the measuring time. The under sampled technique is adopted to perform multi-frequency modulation in the same system which avoids using the mixer and other accessorial components. These reduce prior art scheme complexities and the influence of crosstalk. Week light with high frequency is incident on the avalanche diode (APD), the phase of the output signal from APD is delayed over that of the incident light which induces distance measurement error. A new method on suppressing the phase delay is presented by controlling the bias voltage acting on APD. For a modulation frequency of 18.5MHz, a wavelength of 650nm and incident light intensity of 0.5uW, the phase delay of 1.4o can be reduce to less than0.03o .The crosstalk mathematic model is set up. The crosstalk influences on phase shift measurement employing different electrostatic screen are given. The experiment results show that the phase shift measurement resolution is 0.014o and the distance measurement resolution is 0.3mm accordingly when the modulation is 18.5MHz.  
Abstract:Abstract: The concentric glass spherical shell with the uniform thickness has been dominantly chosen as the transparent window, in front of the optical lens of airborne opto-electronic platforms. When the centers of spheres on the inside and outside surface have been misaligned during the producing, there exists the additional pointing error. In this paper, the theoretical expression concerning the optical path has been derived. The experimental result indicates that the measurement agrees well with the theoretical result. When the concentric misalignment of the spherical centers is 0.26 mm, the axial pointing error at 45 degree field of view reaches 0.075 degree, much bigger than the limitation which is set as 0.029 degree (0.5 mrad). In order to reduce the pointing error to 0.017 degree (0.3 mrad), the concentric misalignment has been expected under 0.10 mm.  
Abstract:In order to improve calculating efficiency of sub-pixel location of diffraction spot generated by two-dimension phase plate by correlation function fitting extreme method, three effect factors: template size, fitting window size and correlation function are analyzed in detail. Analyzing results show that the three effect factors all make bigger effect on calculation efficiency and the template and fitting window sizes make the biggest effect on locating precision during integer pixel searching. The optimal design of searching template and fitting window sizes are completed during sub-pixel location experiment of diffraction spot generated by two-dimension phase plate: the optimized template and fitting window sizes are 51×51pixel and 3×3pixel respectively. Comparing with the template of 131×131pixel which just includes the whole diffraction spot, the calculating time of whole locating process is shorted for 40%, so the calculation efficiency is improved without degrading location precision.  
Abstract:Altitude axis precision is important to performance of large aperture telescope. At practice, the tested result can not reach the system requirement, but the performance is well enough. The main reason is the deformation of centerpart. In this paper, 1m telescope’s centerpart is analyzed by the FEM, and then finding the Altitude axis max deformation versus pitch angle curve is sinusoidal curve, that is the same as the tested results curve. We also calculate the influence of deformation on axis precision .We use the compensation method: add the tested results to calculated result. By this way, the PV error of axis shake is reduced from 2.42″ to 0.95″, the RMS error is reduced from 0.7″to 0.3″, the system precision model is improved.This can provide theory of even larger telescope’s design and test.  
Abstract:Large high-power solid-state laser facilities have a very high requirement for the total positioning error budget, which is within 50 microns (祄) in general. The stability budget allocated to one optical element is only several microns or microradians (祌ad). For some optical elements, the budget is even smaller than 1祌ad. Thus the requirement for stability of structures is high. The stability design is illustrated for several key optical and mechanical systems in a large laser facility. Using the finite element theory, stability due to ambient vibration is analyzed for key optical elements and support structures to verify the validity of the optical and mechanical systems. The finite element (FE) models are built for the systems. The results show that the optical elements and the support structures can satisfy the designed stability indices and all the design margins are greater than 1.5 which is very conservative based on NIF?s research.  
Abstract:The Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) noise, equivalent spontaneous emission factor and equivalent noise factor for the Raman Amplifier (RA) as well as the respective impacts of the Signal Noise Ratio (SNR) for optical receivers on the ASE noise, Rayleigh noise, optical fiber length and switching gain in the RA are theoretically analyzed, and then the Double Rayleigh Backscattering (DRB) noise are also theoretically analyzed and calculated, furthermore, the numerically related simulations are also implemented. The calculation and simulation results show that: the RA, compared with the Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA), can improve the SNR of optical receivers under the condition of the same input signal; the equivalent spontaneous emission factor is less than 1 and will decrease with the increase of the switching gain, so this characteristics of the RA excels that of the EDFA; the condition that the Rayleigh noise of the RA can be ignored is that the gain of the RA is less than 15dB. In addition, some other significant conclusions to play an important role in guiding the optimal design of the RA are also obtained.

Abstract:Errors of structural parameters are one of the main factors causing uncertainty of articulated arm coordinate measuring machines (AACMM); therefore the accuracy of AACMMs can be improved efficiently by structural parameters identification. The homogeneous transformation equations of 6-DOF AACMMs were established based on Denavit-Hartenberg model. A method to identify structural parameters with a cone-shape hole was analyzed. A modified simulated annealing algorithm (MSAA) was presented to identify the structural parameters of the AACMMs. The MSAA can keep the best solution during search, and reduce the search range when the solution approaches the global minimum, which can improve the search efficiency and accuracy. The definition of single-point repeatability was deduced, and the method using single-point repeatability as the objective function to identify structural parameters of AACMMs base on the MSAA was presented. A 6-DOF AACMM was used to carry out experimental tests to evaluate the efficiency of the method presented, the results show that after identification the repeatability and length measurement accuracy of the AACMM are improved 7.87 and 5.59 times respectively.

The roughness of 38nm on LY12 and 43nm on PC were achieved. Micro pyramid array and v-groove array were obtained with a pointed V-shaped single crystal diamond tool on aluminum alloy LY12.  
Abstract:When the initial alignment of ring laser gyroscope SINS is performed on a rocking base, the noise of ring laser gyroscopes and accelerometers will increase. Then, it will need more time to accomplish the initial alignment. Sometimes, the large noise will make the alignment fail. Only with a lowpass filter, the output of sensors will still suffer from large noise. Wavelet can suppress the noise brought by the dither motion of base. However, it has a high computational complexity and block-processing structure, which makes it hard to be implemented online. To solve this problem, a new prefilter method is proposed in this paper. After the output of sensors is filtered by the lowpass filter, a steady-state Kalman filter which uses a hidden Markov model will be used to filter it. Then, the large sensor noise brought by the dither motion of base can be lowed down to a very low level. Experiment results show that this prefilter method can work efficiently with a low computational complexity and help SINS accomplish the initial alignment on a rocking base.

Abstract:The color romance technology has attracted extensive attention, because many industries have not been satisfied with the 3D figuration information and they also need the color information of the subjects. But in the process of assigning the color directly, there are some errors caused by the difference of the geometrical properties of the measured surface. In order to reflect the change of the geometrical properties of the measured surface, the measured surface is divided into several sub-units, so the change of the geometrical properties of the measured surface can be considered as the change in relative position between the sub-units and the projector as well as the camera. Further, the mathematical model is established based on the position relation mentioned above. The relation between the slope change of the sub-units and their incident intensity and scattered intensity is analyzed. Combining with the impact of the relation on the color information, the selection principle of the sub-units is given to eliminate the errors of the color romance brought by the impact of the incident intensity and the scattered intensity. Further, a kind of color romance method which is not affected by the incident intensity and the scattered intensity is given. The emulation and the practice experiment of the color romance are executed making use of the 3D measured data given by the 3D measurement system. The results show that the incident intensity and the scattered intensity of different parts of the measured surface is uniformly corrected, and the color information of the romanced measured surface is almost uniform with its real color, and even changing the measuring angle, there is a good visual effect as well.

Abstract:Abstract: Objective: It is an open problem in image analysis based seal verification that how to segment a binary seal image out of a check image without distortions. An adaptive morphological segmentation algorithm based on top-hat transformation is proposed to accurately extract a binary Chinese square seal from a bank check. Method: A grayscale square seal is extracted from a color bank check according to the color information. Different Chinese characters have different stroke features and background evenness. To process each character in the square seal respectively, the seal is divided into four sub-squares. The background across each sub-square of the grayscale seal image is smoothed by top-hat transformation. The size of structuring element in top-hat transformation might have a great influence on the segmentation. An adaptive method is proposed to iteratively estimate the proper size of the structuring element according to the local foreground area. In each sub-square, the optimal sizes of the structuring elements respectively for the imprint frame and the character are estimated respectively. With their optimal structuring elements, the character and the imprint frame in each sub-square are filtered by top-hat transform and binarized by Otsu’s method. Result: The experiment result shows that when segmenting 350 different square seals in bank checks, 2 segmented seals have distortions. Conclusion: The proposed algorithm can correctly segment Chinese characters with intricate and dense strokes in a bank check square seal. Adhesion and incompleteness distortions in the segmentation results are reduced, even when the original square seal has a poor quality.

Abstract:In order to improve the inspection success rate and velocity of the in-line Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) system of Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), the solder joints of a PCB are studied. The solder joint images are acquired by a structure illuminator and a 3-CCD color camera.

Abstract:There is a severe contradiction between the 14bits output data of the infrared thermal imager and the 8bits input data of the monitor in a real-time infrared image processing system. A novel algorithm for real-time infrared image enhancement based on FPGA is proposed not only to solve this problem but also satisfy the real-time and mass data need of the system. First, an image mean filter is used to compute the local limit values for each frame dynamically. Next, a multi-level average statistics method is designed to calculate the values of segment points for each gray normalization partition. Finally, the means of different linear normalization on different gray level segments is taken to enhance the infrared image. The whole algorithm is developed on the FPGA hardware with Verilog language. Experimental result shows that this algorithm settles the problem that the output values of un-cooled focal plane array detector are varied with its working duration. Moreover, the algorithm could reduce the impact from little bad pixels with very large values, and enhance the details of an image which has some objects of high and low temperature simultaneously in a scene. Compared with histogram projection, one of the most traditional image enhancement methods, this algorithm shortens the computation time about 1.38ms and consumes only 1/42 memory resource than histogram does. Therefore, it could be implemented by FPGA easier and perform better in a real-time infrared image enhancement system. In terms of engineering application, the proposed scheme with simple architecture, high reliability and low cost characters could provide a valuable reference for other design of a real-time infrared image processing system.  
Abstract:As optical imaging era transits to electro-optical (E-O) imaging one generally, spatial resolution is mainly limited by detectors for the overwhelming majority of imaging systems. It is obvious that the prior is to enhance detector resolution for high-resolved or even super-resolved imaging system. The spatial resolution of detector mainly depends on the effects of both the sampling process and the size and shape of active area. So far, there have been two main categories of solutions: one is the straightforward method of fabricating very small pixel, but it has a limit and causes some performances of detector going down; the other is called as super-resolution reconstruction, which is to solve undersampling phenomenon caused by insufficient sampling frequency. It is to decrease aliasing and increase spatial resolution based on the oversampling theory, but it has large limitation for it has another limitation that is the aperture effect of pixel. According to the pros and cons above, a new method is proposed based on special-shaped detectors for increasing simultaneously both the sampling frequency and the detector cutoff which depends on the aperture effect of pixel in spectral domain. It is realized with two detector-arrays of special-shaped pixel where each pixel is deducted a quarter. It is proved that if a small plot of active area per pixel is deducted and the frequency-response distribution of the complement will equal to that of the deducted part without consideration of the amplitude. And then multiple mis-registered frames available are used to solve the grayscale matrix and reconstruct the super-resolution image in the post-detector processing. It can not only enhance the detector resolution, but also weigh rationally the other performances. Finally it is analyzed and proved through theoretical assessment and specific experiment that the imaging method with detectors of special-shaped pixels should improve spatial resolution better for the detector-limited systems.
