First, the transmission properties were characterized by UV-V is spectrometer and X-ray source of synchrotron radiation. The relationship between the optical properties and geographic structure of X-ray filters was studied. The results indicate that in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared bands, the transmission decreased as the thickness of the Al layer increased. The transmission of filters, whose Al layers are deposited on one side of polyimide, is lower than that whose Al layers are deposited on both sides of polyimide. The transmission is less than 10-4 while the thickness of Al layers is 120 nm. In the X-ray band, the transmission is determined by the whole thickness of polyimide and the whole thickness of Al. The proposed filters can satisfy the present requirements of space X-ray surveys.

Abstract:A graphene oxide-functionalized long period fiber grating (GO-LPFG)-based fiber optic sensor is proposed. The surface of the LPFG was hydroxylated by sodium hydroxide solution, and GO was fixed on the grating surface by hydrogen bonding to form a GO modification LPFG sensor. The responses of the GO-LPFG to external refractive index and temperature were studied experimentally. The experimental results show that the average refractive index sensitivity of the GO-LPFG is 1.09 times higher than that of uncoated LPFG,and the temperature sensitivity slightly declines. With the decrease of grating diameter, the average refractive index sensitivity of GO-LPFG was further improved. The average wavelength and coupling intensity refractive index sensitivities of the GO-LPFG with a diameter of 108 μm in the refractive index range of 1.333-1.448 are ~38.99 nm/RIU and ~57.33 dB/RIU, respectively. These increased by 1.45, 2.17 and 3.80, 3.42 times, respectively, compared with those of bare LPFG and GO-LPFG with diameter of 125 μm. The proposed GO-LPFG sensor has potential applications in detecting various viral antigen proteins with high molecular weight and biological pathogens in biofields.

Abstract:In order to satisfy the requirements of space X-ray survey at home and abroad, Some X-ray filters could be used in space project were manufactured by ourselves. First, the transmission properties were characterized by UV-Vis spectrometer and X-ray source of synchrotron radiation. The relationship between optical properties and geographic structure of X-ray filters was studied. The results indicate that: In ultraviolet, visible and infrared bands, the transmission gets lower while the thickness of Al layer gets thicker. The transmission of filters whose Al layers is deposited on one side of polyimide is lower than the transmission of filters whose Al layers are deposited on both side of polyimide. The transmission is lower than 10-4 while the thickness of Al layers is 120 nm. In X-ray band, the transmission is just decided by the whole thickness of polyimide and the whole thickness of Al. The filters manufactured by ourselves could satisfy the requirements of space X-ray survey at present.
Abstract:Ultra-thin optical workpieces get significantly deformed when mounted on pressure plates owing to their high aspect ratio and low stiffness, thereby affecting the accuracy in determining the final surface figure. In this study, we mounted a Ф50 mm×1 mm fused silica workpiece using different methods and in a specific curing sequence. The deformation mechanism was analyzed using finite element simulation. The results show that the mounting deformation of the ultra-thin workpiece is asymmetric and irregular and is caused by the curing sequence of the adhesive used instead of the profile of the adhesive surface. With the aim of reducing the effect of the adhesive curing sequence, a mounting method is developed to reduce the mounting deformation from 1.88 μm to 0.51 μm. A flatness of PV 0.46 μm for the fused silica workpiece is achieved post pitch polishing and demounting, and the deterioration is effectively restrained. This study helps to understand the mechanism of mounting deformation and guides the fabrication of ultra-thin optical workpieces.

Abstract:For the correlation filtering tracking algorithm is not robust enough and cannot adapt to scale changes due to the boundary effect, an improved correlation filtering tracking algorithm based on double model is proposed. Methods: The target tracking consists of position prediction and scale prediction. In the stage of the position prediction, the samples were enhanced to make the samples more consistent with the actual scene.Then the solution is obtained by using the alternating?direction?method?of?multipliers(ADMM), and the estimated target position is achieved. For scale prediction, a multi-scale pyramid was constructed in order to train the scale filter, and then the target scale is acquired. The final tracking result is decided by target position and scale together. Finally, an occlusion criterion is introduced to determine whether the model is updated or not. Results: Comparing with the classical correlation filtering tracking algorithm, the proposed algorithm boosts the tracking success rate by 18% and tracking accuracy by 11%. Conclusion: Our algorithm in this paper could track the target stably even when the target is occluded and its scale changes.

Abstract:To segment objects with abrupt change surface positioned at different depth, this paper presented a flexible technique for 3D depth segmentation. The system consisted of one projector, one camera, and the objects for segmentation. The first step was to establish the system for segmentation. The second step was to cast the phase-shifted gratings onto the object surface. The gratings, which were modulated by the 3D information of the objects, were then captured by the camera and sent to the computer for further processing. The wrapped phase sequence could then be calculated by changing the sequence of the phase-shifted patterns and using the least squares algorithm. By applying the neighbor pixel difference algorithm to the wrapped phase maps, the edges for segmentation could be retrieved further. Finally, these edges could be optimized and sent for segmentation. The simulation result shows that the method can effectively segment the complex objects with size 900 × 900 pixels, with the corresponding error reaching only two pixels. The experimental result shows that the approach can segment objects with similar color precisely. The proposed method has the advantages of low cost, high precision, and can perform the task of 3D depth segmentation.

Abstract:Proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers are widely used in flight control systems. However, it is often very cumbersome to adjust the parameters of a PID controller. In this study, we use Probabilistic Inference for Learning Control (PILCO) to optimize the parameters of a PID controller. As the first step, we develop a probabilistic dynamics model of the flight control system using input and output data. Next, the existing PID controller is evaluated using the policy evaluation method. Finally, the evaluated PID controller is optimized by policy update. The sampling frequency of the system is 100 Hz and the data acquisition time per round is 8 s. The optimized PID controller can achieve stable control post 10 rounds of offline training. Through PILCO optimization, the flight attitude simulator performed robustly in a fixed-point experiment, indicating that PILCO has tremendous potential in solving nonlinear control and parameter optimization problems.
