2006, 27(supp): 61-64.
Abstract:
The relation of transmittance versus irradiance and numerical aperture (NA) of optical systems is discussed in this paper. Some methods of measuring the transmittance of IR optical systems are introduced, such as the method of integrating sphere, method of broadarea uniformity source, method of full aperture transmittance measurement and method of dual beam paths. The differences between theory and realizability of the above mentioned methods are also put forward. The measurement setup based on the method of broadarea uniformity source is regarded as the one which can measure the transmittance quickly, accurately and reliably, and can achieve a satisfactory effect by comparison with all the methods for transmittance measurement. The IR standard transmittance board was measured by the method of broadarea uniformity source, and two sets of experiment data were obtained. The uncertainty of the instrument which adopts the method of broadarea uniformity source is analyzed. The result indicates that the value of uncertainty is 2.6%.

2006, 27(supp): 65-67.
Abstract:
The principle and system of aspheric wavefront aberration measurement are introduced. The cylindrical wavefront aberration measurement was realized mainly by GPIHS interferometer with the phaseshift interferometry. The cylindrical standard mirror was calibrated by the aid of the absolute testing method. A standard accessorial reflecting mirror was incorporated into the beam path of an interferometer to build up a autocollimating system for measuring the aspheric wavefront aberration of paraboloidal, ellipsoidal and hyperbolic mirrors with the method of aberrationless point. This method will have the characteristics of higher precision, bigger datainformation capacity, larger measurement range, and can remove system error and adjustment error if it is combined with the phaseshift interference principle.

SHI Ji-fang, HOU Xi-qi, FAN Ji-hong, SUN Yu-nan
2006, 27(supp): 68-70.
Abstract:
The working principle of the image intensifier is analyzed since it has not only the special property of optoelectronic imaging but also the characteristic of spectral conversion. A new method, which takes a cavity pyroelectric detector as a reference detector to measure the spectral responsivity of photocathodes in image intensifiers, is proposed. The measurement principle of the photocathode spectral responsivity for image intensifiers is described. The calibration of allwave absolute spectral responsivity of photocathodes in image intensifiers was realized by means of the calibration of the absolute spectral responsivity at 632.8nm for a silicon photocathode by using the cryogenic radiometer of the radiation standard and the trap detector of radiation transfer standard. The highprecision and broadband instrument designed for measuring the spectral responsivity of photocathodes in image intensifiers is of benefit to the development and fabrication of photocathodes in image intensifiers.

Abstract:
Since the systematic nonlinear error is the primary factor that influences the photometric precision of spectrophotometer and the common methods such as chemistry standard method and neutral density filter method for calibrating the photometric scale of a spectrophotometer can not meet the needs for calibrating the photometric scale of high precision spectrophotometers which require the uncertainty of photometric scale to be less than 0.001 (but the common methods is confined to 0.005), the doubleaperture method is brought forward in this paper. The measurement principle of the doubleaperture method for calibrating photometric scale of spectrophotometers and the way for calibrating Lambda 950 Spectrophotometer are introduced in details. The nonlinear parameters of Lambda 950 Spectrophotometer were obtained with the method. The nonlinear error was derived for the instruments working in 250nm~2500nm. The accuracy of photometric scale, preceding 0.0005, was acquired after calibration with the parameters.

2006, 27(supp): 79-82.
Abstract:
The spectral responsivity is one of the important parameters of detector. With the development of infrared detection technique, the requirement for infrared detectors becomes higher, so it is necessary to calibrate the absolute spectral responsivity of infrared detectors accurately. The technology to precisely measure the absolute spectral responsivity of HgCdTe detector is investigated. The repeated measurement and calibration for the spectral responsivity of HgCdTe detector were fulfilled by aid of the selfcalibration technology for the relative spectral responsivity of the cavity pyroelectric detector. The average value of the measurement results is given in this paper. The quantity transmission of the absolute spectral responsivity of HgCdTe detector was conducted with the silicon detector calibrated by a cryogenic radiometer. Therefore, the calibration for the absolute spectral responsivity of HgCdTe detector in the fullwave band was realized. At last, the evaluation criterion of the uncertainty, which influences the measurement results, is presented.

LI Xu-dong, YANG Hong-ru, WU Lei, QING Yan
2006, 27(supp): 93-96.
Abstract:
Investigations on the extinction properties of light in seawater has farreaching significance in the field of underwater detection. Proceeding from the analysis of absorption and scattering properties of light in seawater, the extinction properties of inorganic salt solution, suspend particles and yellow material are emphatically discussed. It is shown that the main factors of the absorption of light in seawater are pure water, plankton and yellow material. The inorganic compounds mainly account for the scattering effect. The spectrum extinction properties of different seawaters are measured by spectrophotometer. In comparison with the pure water, among Hulu Island, Hainan Island and Lianyun Port, the extinction index of the seawater in Lianyun Port is biggest, and Hulu Island is weakest. Thus, inorganic salt solution, suspend particles and yellow material can be taken as the main components that affect the extinction properties of light in seawater.
Comparison between geometrical model and Debye model for large bubble scattering
WU Lei, YANG Hong-ru, LI Xu-dong
2006, 27(supp): 97-101.
Abstract:
Mie theory is a powerful tool for calculating the scattering properties of spherical bubbles, but it can not give much insight into the physical scattering process (such as reflection, refraction and diffraction) as the geometrical model and Debye model do. Calculation with the geometricaloptics theory or Debyeseries expansion of the Mie amplitude can help us to understand the physical scattering mechanisms. In this paper, the scattering patterns of large spherical bubbles in water are calculated by both geometricaloptics model and the Debye model. A detailed comparison between the geometricaloptics model and Debye model is presented. The analysis result shows that the result from the geometricaloptics approach agrees well with those obtained by Debyemodel for the perpendicular polarized component when the size of the bubbles becomes large enough. However, there is large variance between the two calculations in the scattering region of 45°~90° for the parallel polarized component.

YU Bing, WU Bao-ning, LI Hong-guang, CAO Feng
2006, 27(supp): 102-104.
Abstract:
A method of spectral color analysis based on complex programmable logic device (CPLD) is proposed to improve the measurement accuracy of the colour measuring instruments and make the application rapid and convenient. The system control and color parameter calculation were accomplished, and the I/O control for the equipments was realized by utilizing CPLD and insetsingle chip to drive the CCD and to process the signal. By the aid of selfadaptive control theory, the problem that the CCD dynamic range was too narrow under the condition of single integration time was solved with the integration time adjustment for CCD by CPLD. The CCD effective data needed by calculation were reduced significantly through A/D intermittence sampling, data storage and invoking controlled by CPLD.
