Abstract:When a single optical lever is used to test the strain coefficients of Fiber Bragg Gratings(FBGs), slip effects may take place in the clamping part between the testing machine and the sensor. To effectively eliminate the slip effects and improve the test accuracy, a measurement system based on double optical levers was established to measure the strain coefficient of a FBG sensor with an elastic stress element by unequal cross sections. In the measurement, two optical lever mirrors were put respectively on the end faces of two fixed ends beside the sensor's elastic stress element. By measuring the relative displacement of two fixed ends, the equivalent strain coefficient of the sensor was obtained by data processing with the curve fitting method and cumulative average method. A simulation model was established, and the experiment and simulation were performed and compared. The results indicate that the equivalent strain coefficient of the sensor nεeff is 0.6817με/pm obtained by the experiment and the precision is 0.91%. Compared to the coefficient 0.6720με/pm from the software simulation, the difference is 1.42%. It is shown that the measurement method satisfies with the requirements for accurately measuring the strain coefficients of complex-structure sensors.
Abstract:To enhance imaging efficiency, a scannerless laser active imaging system by directly ranging was explored on the basis of an Avalanche Photo Diode(APD) array and a splitting beam illuminating method. A pulse laser was selected to be a light source, and the distant information of a target was obtained by measuring the time-of-flight of laser. A Dammann grating was used for illuminating by splitting beams to improve the usage efficiency of laser energy. Furthermore, a transceiving optical system with a common aperture was adapted to ensure the geometrical alignment between laser foot-prints and pixels of the APD array. Different from the constant threshold discriminator used in reference APD, a time discrimination method in combination of the constant threshold discriminator and the constant fraction discriminator was used to process the echo signal from APD array and to adapt the parametric variation of optical path. Moreover, dedicated time-detecting chip TDC-GP22 was used for each channel to test the interval between starting and stopping pulses, and to obtain the timing resolution of 45 ps.At last, an imaging experiment was conducted by choosing two corner reflectors respectively located in the distance of 19 m and 31 m as cooperative targets and the distant images were given. Result shows that the average distances of the two targets are 19.28 m and 31.54 m, respectively, and the distant errors are 0.28 m and 0.54 m. It concludes that the optical system and design method proposed are feasibility.

Abstract:Echo photon number equation is usually used to estimate the detection distance of a space debris laser ranging system. However, it can not exactly determine the minimum recognizable echo number threshold. In this article, a degradation model was proposed by degrading the echo sparsity of measured data to obtain a precision curve and to effectively evaluate the minimum recognizable echo probability with the precision guaranteed, and then to estimate the detection distance of the ranging system. Firstly, the relationship of efficient echo probability and ranging distance was obtained based on the "shutting down" effect of Single Photon Avalanche Diodes(SPADs). After that, the jumping curves of ranging precision and efficient echo probability were drawn based on experimental data. From the "jumping threshold" on "precision plateau" in jumping curves, the minimum recognizable echo probability was calculated and the detection distance for typical space debris with different sizes was obtained. The experiments for three typical space debris with Radar Cross Sections(RCSs) of 3.8840 m2, 6.3912 m2 and 9.8555 m2 were performed. The results show that the minimum recognizable efficient echo probability is 0.02-0.04 with the meter-level precision guaranteed and the maximum detection range for these typical space debris are 820 km, 1520 km and 2250 km correspondingly. This proposed degradation model effectively solves the problem for determining minimum recognizable echo probability, and reduces experimental costs.

Abstract:To better understand the absorption characters of fused silica in ultra-violet wavelength, a method to evaluate accurately the measurement uncertainty of a laser calorimeter was explored. The measurement principle of laser calorimeter was introduced firstly, and then the measured absorption data were fitted by the exponential method. After analysis of different effect factors on measuring results, a model for the measurement uncertainty was established, the estimated value and its standard uncertainty of the each input were calculated and the fitting calculation parameters A、γ effecting on absorption measuring results were corrected. By taking the influence of background temperature drift on the measurement uncertainty into account, the influences of linear and nonlinear temperature drifts on the absorption result were simulated by Matlab. The results show that the relative standard uncertainty and relative extended uncertainty of the laser calorimeter are 2.6% and 5.2% respectively. Finally, the absorption measurement was performed for several times by replacing fused silica substrates, and the average values of absorption measuring results for 10 times show the relative standard uncertainty to be 2.3% and relative extended uncertainty to be 4.6%, which are conform to that of evaluated results well.
Abstract:A Polarization-independent 3 dB Beam Splitter(PIBS) based on a self-collimation Mach-Zehnder Interferometer(SMZI) in a hole-type silicon photonic crystal(PhC) is proposed and successfully designed. According to theoretical analysis, it shows that the SMZI can implement the polarization-independent beam splitting by utilizing polarization transmission matching method. Then, by changing the path length difference of the SMZI continuously, the same splitting ratio 1:1 of self-collimation beams for both transverse-electric(TE) modes and transverse-magnetic(TM) modes is obtained at the operating frequency of 0.1774c/a based on matching two polarization transmission spectra. This behavior of the PIBS is also numerically demonstrated with the magnetic-field distribution for TE polarization and the electric-field distribution for TM polarization calculated by the time domain finite difference numerical simulation software. The results show that the dimension of the 3 dB PIBS is only 16.7μm×16.7μm when its working wavelength is at 1550 nm. With its small dimensions, simple structure and single silicon material, this 3dB PIBS may have practical applications in future photonic integrated circuits.
Abstract:On the basis of the high switching speeds of dynamic images, a color management method implemented by hardware was proposed to ensure the consistency of color information of images on different displays. The principle of ICC color management was researched, and a non-uniform look-up table between the RGBs of displays was established based on a look-up table and interpolation method. The color management was realized by three dimensional interpolation with look-up tables and the self-adaptive rendering was obtained by judging the characters of images. Meanwhile, a real-time color management system was designed under a Field-Programmable Gate Array by proposed method. The experiments were performed for two displays. The experimental results indicate that the maximum/average color errors of two displays before and after using this system are 14.56/5.08 and 5.4/1.83ΔEuv unit, and the detail information of images is retained quite well by self-adaptive rendering. It concludes that the system implements higher precision color management for displays and satisfies the requirements for the precision, real time and stabilization.
Abstract:When traditional self-calibration methods are used to calibrate the cameras without scene information, it usually shows lower calibration accuracy. In order to solve this problem, an improved self-calibration method for a binocular vision measurement system was proposed. Without high-accuracy calibration pattern, the proposed method could calibrate intrinsic parameters and rotation matrixes only by using parallel and perpendicular lines to establishing the constraint equation between the camera parameter and the characteristic line. Meanwhile, the translation vector was calibrated by feature points with the known distances between them. The calibration experiment was conducted to verify the proposed method. It shows that the proposed method calibrates the binocular vision measurement system in high accuracy, the accuracy reaches to 0.51%. As the proposed method avoids the difficulties from the high-accuracy calibration pattern needed in the calibration of measuring system, and the complex algorithm and low calibration accuracy in camera self-calibration, it has advantages of easy operating and high accuracy.

Abstract:For fabrication of microaccelerometers with beam-mass structures, an anisotropic wet silicon etching technology based on ternary TMAH(tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide) solutions containing Triton and IPA was proposed and corresponding etching characteristics was investigated. The underlying mechanism between two kinds of additives(the Triton and IPA) and its effect on the wet silicon etching were analyzed. The appropriate ratio of additives was chosen to control the etching morphology. By a combined action of two kinds of additives, a mirror-like finish surface(Ra≈1 nm) and high reduction of undercutting(the ratio of undercut at the convex corner less than 0.8) were achieved synchronously. The experimental results show that the etched morphology has been dramatically improved by the ternary solutions. Furthermore, the reasons affecting the etched morphology were discussed, and the underlying mechanism on hydrophobic silicon surface, surface tension adjustion and the reciprocity between surfactant and alcohol were used to explain the new etched characteristics. Finally, by taking fabrication of a spring-mass structure for an example, the proposed method is verified by obtaining a very smooth cantilever and a complete mass structure without convex corner compensation. As compared to some other fabrication techniques, this method is very simple, easy to operate and useful in improving the quality of devices.
Abstract:The detecting voltage signal of a magnetostrictive displacement sensor was experimentally studied to improve its detection accuracy. The effects of waveguide wire materials, driving pulse currents, and detecting coil parameters on the detecting voltage signal were analyzed and confirmed. The detecting coil was designed optimally and the parameters for the magnetostrictive displacement sensor were determined. The research shows since the Fe-Ga waveguide has a larger magnetostrictive coefficient and remarkable Weidmann effect, it improves the electric-magnetic-mechanical conversion efficency and obtains more detecting voltage signals. Based on the experimental results, a new type of magnetostrictive displacement sensor with the Fe-Ga waveguide wire was fabricated and its performance was compared with that of a magnetostrictive displacement sensor with the Fe-Ni waveguide wire. The research shows that the detecting signal for the magnetostrictive displacement sensor with the Fe-Ga waveguide wire is obviously enhanced and the signal-to-noise ratio is improved significantly as compared with that with the Fe-Ni waveguide wire. Moreover, the detecting voltage signal amplitude for the magnetostrictive displacement sensor with the Fe-Ga wire increases 40 mV and its detection precision may be 2 times that of the sensor with the Fe-Ni wire.
Abstract:An adaptive error calibration method was proposed to complete parameter calibration and error compensation to realize the high accuracy test for a 1P3R flexible measuring arm. Firstly, a kinematic model of 1P3R flexible measuring arm was built based on RPY theory and a differential method was used to deduce the error model of system. Then, the real number encoding was performed based on the theory of Markova chain convergence.

It shows that the accuracy of the normalized GA has been enhanced from 3.1μm to 5.2μm just after 328 generation searching, and its convergence velocity is 2.3 times that of the general GA. Moreover, the convergence of least square method is stopped after 20 generations and its calibration accuracy is only 18.4μm. Experiments indicate that normalized GA is characterized by some advantages of fast convergence speed, high calibration accuracy and better stability. It is suitable for measuring these kinds of flexible measuring arms in high accuracy.
Abstract:To implement the optimal matching of structure parameters, a new idea was proposed to improve the vibration environments of optical satellites. As the random response of a honeycomb panel was far beyond the normal range in a satellite vibration test, adding several enforced ribs on this panel was proposed to reduce the response. The function of the enforced rib in reducing the response of simply supported honeycomb panel was researched. The characteristics of honeycomb panel structure in the optical satellite were introduced, and the random excitation load of the optical satellite and dynamic response of the honeycomb panel under this load were also discussed. According to the entire satellite structure, a method to reduce the honeycomb response by adding H enforced ribs on the panel was proposed. In order to study the function of the enforced rib, the finite element method was used to verify the random vibration of the honeycomb panel model with a size of 1000 mm×1000 mm×30 mm. The analysis results show that the H enforced ribs reduce the response of the honeycomb panel obviously. Finally, the satellite finite element model was improved by the vibration test results and its dynamical analysis and optimization was performed. The analysis results show that the response has reduced to 40%, being an acceptable level, which verifies that the H enforced rib is a good choice to reduce the response of simply supported honeycomb panels on optical satellites.
Abstract:A dynamic linearity calibration system, dual warhead Hopkinson bar,was designed to calibrate the dynamic linear parameters of a micro accelerometer with high measurement range accurately. On the basis of one-dimension stress wave theory and elastic wave superposition principle, the influences of the dual warhead Hopkinson bar with different sizes on the required acceleration signals were analyzed. The ANSYS/LS-DYNA was employed to simulate the shock effect of the dual warhead Hopkinson bar under different design conditions. According to analysis and simulation on different factors, the design parameters were determined. Then, a dynamic linearity calibration system(dual warhead Hopkinson bar) for accelerometers with the diameter of 30 mm and the length of 1200 mm was designed. The dual warhead Hopkinson bar was used in the dynamic linearity calibration of an accelerometer with high measurement range. The results indicate that the dynamic linear error of the accelerometer is within 5%, which verifies that the dual warhead Hopkinson bar designed is feasible for dynamic linearity calibration of the accelerometers with higher measurement ranges,and the calibration results satisfy the requirements of shock calibration.
Abstract:A three-dimensional coordinate evaluation method for gear errors was explored to eliminate the influence of positioning error of a measurement instrument on the measurements and evaluations of a gear and to improve the measuring accuracy. The traditional two-dimensional gear error evaluation method was analyzed, and then the gear error evaluation model was changed from two-dimensional evaluation model into three-dimensional evaluation model. In the three-dimensional evaluation model, the measurement points of gear error were not required in the characteristic surface, and error measurement and evaluation of gear could be realized in a three-dimensional space. Furthermore, to improve the efficiency of three-dimensional evaluation algorithm of gear errors, three-dimensional data were reduce to two-dimensional data by using spiral dimensionality reduction method, and the error evaluation of two-dimensional measurement data were carried out. By taking the in-site measurement system with laser tracker for megagear as an experimental object, the profile error of a 4 level standard gear was measured, and obtained results were compared with that of the traditional two-dimensional gear error estimation method and the evaluation results from the InvolutePro software of German ZEISS company. The experimental results indicate that the traditional two-dimensional evaluation method has a bigger error, but the proposed three dimensional evaluation method can obtain the same evaluation results with the software of InvolutePro of German ZEISS company, and the algorithm precision reaches 0.1μm. The results verify that proposed three dimensional evaluation method is correct. It eliminates the influence of instrument positioning precision on gear error measurement and improves the measurement precision of gear measuring instruments.
Abstract:To reveal the micro elastic-plastic mechanic behavior and the machining property of tripler plane of a potassium dihydrogen phosphate(KDP) crystal, the nano-indentation process was researched. An anisotropic mechanical model for the tripler plane of KDP crystal was established. Then the nano-indentation numerical simulation based on Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics(SPH) method was performed and the nano-indentation experiments were accomplished. The results indicate that the correlation coefficient between the experimental load-indentation depth curve and the simulation one is 0.996328, showing a higher goodness of fit and verifying the correctness of the mechanical model. Moreover, the yield strength of tripler plane of the KDP crystal is 240 MPa. Because of the anisotropy property of the material, the stress inside the workpiece is irregular arc shape distribution, and the relationship between the magnitude of load and the influence depth of equivalent stress is an approximate linear increasing. The distribution shape of equivalent plastic strain on the material surface is similar to the geometrical shape of the indenter projective plane, which verifies that the reflection effect exists. When the load is lower than 2 mN, the differences of the residual stress's depths among the indenters are less than 0.2μm. As the load increases gradually, the differences are widening. The research results provide theoretical supports for machining the tripler planes of KDP crystals in high efficiency and low damage.
Abstract:A measuring algorithm based on mutual information in an object area was proposed to register stellar images with noises, pseudo stars, sparse stars and the rotation between the images. Firstly, a stellar image was segmented to extract star points in the stellar image and the star points were processed with binarization. Then, on the basis of the mutual information model, the Powell algorithm was used to guide the search of the best transformation parameters in the object area by taking the maximal mutual information as the aim function. Furthermore, the star segmentation method suitable for the proposed stellar registration algorithm was analyzed and the feasibility of the proposed algorithm was verified. The proposed algorithm was compared with normal mutual information registration algorithm, and the results show that the time consuming is relative to the number of stars in image, and the speed up ratio is up to 3.4 times that of the normal mutual information registration algorithm when the image size is 1000×1000. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm achieves a high precision stellar registration with noises, pseudo stars, sparse stars and rotation. The average error of 50 groups of real stellar images is 0.1382 pixel. It concludes that the algorithm meets the requirements of space target detection for image registration.
Abstract:The CT image of Printed Circuit Board(PCB) exists problems in grey inhomogeneity, changeable and irregular wire shapes, so it is difficult to be detected efficiently. This paper proposes an automatic PCB wire detecting method based on superpixel segmentation. The comparably top-hat transform based on a guided filtering was used to preprocess images and to improve the interclass difference of different regions and the subsequent superpixel segmentation results. Then, the graph-based segmentation algorithm was selected to achieve the wire positioning. Finally, the wire region was identified by using the geometry and grayscale distribution features of the wire to implement the wire detection. The experiments for the PCB CT images with inhomogeneity grey, multi-wire and multi-scales were performed. The results show that the algorithm is able to overcome the intensity inhomogeneity of PCB CT image and achieves a better result with a detection rate more than 90%. It concludes that the algorithm satisfies higher precision and strong anti-jamming requirements for automatic detection of the wires of PCBs and has high application values.
Abstract:The focal plane of a wide-field space camera is comprised of several staggered Charge Coupled Device(CCD) detectors.To eliminate the gap in imaging field of the space camera,this paper proposes an analytic calculation method for overlapping pixels applied to multiple maneuvering angle modes. The imaging characteristics of CCD interleaving assembly and the reason that imaging gaps appear were analyzed. Then, the calculation model for overlapping pixels was established by combining space coordinate transformation with a collinearity equation. The dynamic mathematical relationship of the image point, camera center and the ground point was established. The overlapping pixels between adjacent CCDs were calculated by tracing the locus of image point on the image plane. With an engineering example, the influence of maneuvering angle, subastral latitude and the field location of the space camera on overlapping pixels was calculated and analyzed and the maxmum number of gap pixels calculating among different working situations were considered as mechanical assembly numbers. The result shows that the theoretical error of the number overlapping pixels is less than 1 pixel. Comparing with scrolling imaging, the pitching imaging needs more number of assembly pixels. The computing model can be applied to other space cameras of different types, and the overlapping pixels can be calculated at any attitude mode.
Abstract:For improving the spatial resolution of FY-2G middle infrared band, this paper proposes a method to extract the edge from a moon image and to calculate the Modulation Transfer Function(MTF). It implements image restoration based on the image quality evaluation parameters and improves the image space resolution. Firstly, a moon visual position algorithm was designed based on the image navigation of FY-2 to search the moon image in the FY-2G full disk image. By using one-order differential and extreme value matching, the MTF evaluation value of FY-2G middle infrared band was calculate out by Fourier transform. Using the calculated MTF, the full disk image was restored by a Wiener filter. By using the pixel average gradient, power spectral components and image information entropy as evaluation functions, the reasonable filter parameters were determined. Finally, the high resolution image after MTF restoration was obtained. The experiments indicate that the MTF calculation is correct, image restoration is effective, and the spatial resolution has been improved greatly. Moreover, it ensures the consistency of image energy before and after restorations.

Abstract:As most of tracking-by-detection methods have not dealt with the scale estimation problem in target tracking, this paper proposes a scale estimation strategy based on the tracking-by-detection framework. Meanwhile, it designs an adaptive scale tracking algorithm based on kernelized correlation filters. The algorithm uses a kernel function to solve the regularized least square classifier to obtain the kernelized correlation filters. Then it completes the target position and scale detection by online learning the kernelized correlation filters, and updates the filters in online. To verify the feasibility of the proposed algortihm, ten groups of benchmark video sequences are tested and obtained results are compared with those of five kinds of tracking algorithms. The experimental results show that the proposed approach improves the performance by 6.9% in the average distance precision as compared to the best one of the other five excellent existing tracking algorithms. It is robust to scale changing, illumination variation, partial occlusion, pose variation, rotation, fast motion and other complex scenes.
