Abstract:
The low-light-level (LLL) weapon sight measurement under different environment conditions are always interested by military equipment manufacturers. Due to the impact of shock, vibration, shooting, high temperature or low temperature environment as well as other environmental factors, the mechanics, optics and electric performance of the LLL sights will be changed, and the LLL sights can′t function properly. A test and measurement device was designed to test weapon LLL sights operating in different test conditions. The working principle of the detection system established with CCD is given, and the detailed imaging process of the system is analyzed. Based on the calculation of the focal length for the collimator and CCD zoom lens as well as the practical application, the system is deigned with measurment accuracy better than 0.05 mil and the measuring range greater than 40 mil.

Abstract:
The quality of Al2O3 film evaporated on the input side of micro-channel plate is analyzed with electron microscope and mass spectrometer, and the influence of the film on the device performance is investigated to solve the problem of lifetime of 3rd generation low-light-level (LLL) tube. The effect of Al2O3 film on the imaging quality of 3rd generation LLL imaging devices is discussed. The research result shows that Al2O3 film affects the imaging quality of the LLL tube seriously, makes images dim and reduces the noise-to-signal ratio though it can effectively prevent the ion feedback. Another effective measure for solving the problem of device lifetime essentially is proposed, in which the vacuum isolation is implemented between photoelectric cathode and display screen to avoid the bombardment of ion feedback to the photoelectric cathode.

In this method, firstly, the value of K is determined with the specific image, then the statistic analysis is carried out for the radiation temperature data of the infrared image to sort the data in ascending order, finally, the data of an arithmetical progression are selected as initial clustering centers and the temperature data are clustered by K-means algorithm with the generated clustering centers. At last, the self-adaptive enhancement is completed for the image with the clustering result. The satisfactory result is achieved in the experiment with gray infrared images. Compared with the histogram equalization method, the simulation result indicates that this method could further improve the visual effect, and provide detailed information and better gradation.

Abstract:
The medium infrared band is widely used as an observation channel in applications such as space flight, meteorology and remote sensing. High quality medium bandpass infrared filters are often adopted in optical systems to improve signal-to-noise ratio. Relative bandwidth is a key specification for the medium bandpass infrared filter, which depends on the film structure and its design. Several film structures such as double cut-off structure, F-P structure, multi-half-wave structure are given, and their bandwidth estimation formulas are concluded. The relative bandwidths of the multi-half-wave structures were estimated and analyzed. The results indicate that half-wave structure is the most feasible solution. Relative bandwidth adjustment methods are put forward, such as using interval layer material, selecting optical thickness, using equivalent film, adjusting film refractive index. A medium infrared filter is designed with the suggested relative bandwidth adjustment method. The coating result shows that the relative bandwidth specification of the film meets the design requirement.

Abstract:
The spectral difference between the sensors, complexity of optical bench mechanics, as well as alignment between the optical axes and revolving axes in stabilized electro-optical sight system make the system integration accuracy hard to achieve. The fine tuning for the optical axes boresight was achieved by setting a spatial transfer reference with several sets of autocollimators and adopting a large-aperture optical axis adjustment device. Based on the synchronous accuracy requirement of optical axes and mechanical revolving axes, the scheme to assemble various parts and the impact of the assembly errors on system accuracy were determined. With an azimuth/elevation zenith instrument designed for this work, the orthogonality accuracy of revolving axes was satisfactorily obtained. The design specification and accuracy achieved with this technology cannot be met by traditional technique or ordinary adjustment devices.

Abstract:
A method to enhance the local regions in remote sensing images is proposed to meet the case that the information cannot be aquired due to the clouds and their shadows in the regions. The method of Huygens secondary wave is applied to extract the regions with clouds and their shadows in the remote sensing images. The wide ambiguity borders can be got when the convolution is made up of the extracted regions and bigsize smoothing convolution core whose size is 19×19 and each element is 1/381. The brightness is compensated in the regions with clouds and their shadows in original remote sensing image. The information of the regions covered by clouds and their shadows is obtained. The semi-automatic method plays an important role in the information extraction from the remote sensing images with clouds and their shadows.

Abstract:
Since the improvement of microcirculation image quality is the key for the application of such devices, a novel method and apparatus for the microcirculation detection is introduced. The experiments are done with orthogonal polarization spectral imaging apparatus based on this theory and some nail-fold microcirculation images with good contrast are obtained. When linear polarized light is focused on the tissue, the light reflected from the tissue surface remains original polarization state and is blocked by the orthogonal polarization analyzer placed before CCD. The light coming back from the inner of the tissue turns up the multi-scattering and is depolarized. The image is formed after it passes through the analyzer. If the wavelength is selected properly within the absorption spectrum of red cell, clear microcirculation images can be observed.

Abstract:
The SG-Ⅲ 3ω laser auto-collimation system and its control algorithm are studied based on loop feedback control theory. The operation principle, control algorithm and software control flowchart of the system are analyzed. The mathematical model for the impact of motor-control on the control result during the collimation process was established to overcome the side effects on the collimating accuracy caused by the crosstalk of both azimuth and elevation motors. By adopting the auto-collimation scheme with two-dimensional mirror mount, the collimating error converges continuously in the given precision range. The results of the test on the spot show that this SG-Ⅲ auto-collimation system meets the design specification. The SG-Ⅲ 3ω laser auto-collimation system can fulfill the collimation of 8 beams in half an hour. The angle error of the system is less than 5% for pinhole diameter per space domain, and the translation error is less than 1.0% for the accuracy of the nearfield beam diameter.

Abstract:
The research status of InP nanocrystallite in the world is described in this paper. The InP nanocrystallite was prepared by reflowing and annealing of organic solvent. The 55nm average diameter of InP nanocrystallits was obtained by calculating X-ray diffraction spectrum. The Raman spectrum indicates that the two scattering peaks of Raman spectrum move towards low energy because of quantum size effect of nano particles. The obvious blue shift of the sample optical absorption edge relative to the bulk InP (970nm) was observed via UV-VIS absorption spectrum and it indicates that gap becomes wider and the effect of quantum size becomes obvious. The obvious blue shift of fluorescence spectrum luminescent peak relative to the bulk InP infrared region was observed with PLE spectrum at 380nm and PL spectrum at 573nm. It shows that the InP nanocrystallite will have a great potential in the field of photoelectronic devices and nonlinear optics.

Abstract:
Femtosecond laser pulses have the characteristics of ultra-short duration and ultra-high power. A series of nonlinear processes such as double photons effect, collision ionization and avalanche breakthrough will be induced, microexplosions will happen and micro-cavities will be formed at the focus in transparent materials when femtosecond laser is tightly focused into transparent materials. The micro-cavity structure induced by 25fs laser pulse in the interior of transparent materials is proposed. The energy threshold of the micro-cavity is analyzed. Three-dimensional micro-cavity dot-matrix was prepared with a three dimensional precision displacement instrument. The experiments indicate that the energy threshold for generating micro-cavity can be decreased by use of femtosecond pulse with shorter pulse width, the penetration depth of the micro-cavity can be improved by adjusting the power of femtosecond laser, the number of pulses and the beam focus, but the microcavity can not be formed if numerical aperture is too small because the tight focus can not be achieved.

Abstract:
The effect of the vertical extinction characteristics of aerosol, cirrus and dust on laser pulse maximal threshold energy of the airborne lidar for eye safety is analyzed quantitatively according to U.S.A. ANSI standard. Airplane minimum altitude for eye safety was calculated and analyzed quantitatively according to the dust detected by the ground-based lidar in Hefei. The variation rule of laser pulse eye safety coefficient with altitudes was simulated and calculated with the characteristics of all kinds of atmospheric compositions detected by airborne lidars. The calculation result indicates that the influence amplitude of the dust on laser pulse maximum threshold energy for eye safety reaches tens of millijoules. The conclusion forms a baseline for the maximal energy setting of 532nm 1064nm laser pulse for the airborne lidar design for eye safety.

Abstract:
A system for measuring the drift of laser spot is designed and the drift of a He-Ne laser beam is measured. With a CCD camera and a frame grabber to capture the laser spot, the digital image is transferred to special software for further processing, the amount of the laser spot drift can be achieved. The amount of the drift in X direction, Y direction and in spatial angle can be obtained through geometrical optics. The reason that causes the beam drift is analyzed. The result shows that the direction of the emergent beam from He-Ne laser is influenced mainly by temperature, vibration, air disturbance and laser structure. The system can accurately measure the laser beam drift and the control of the beam drift is implemented.

Abstract:
The temperature characteristics of high temperature resistant FBG and the ordinary FBG were experimentally investigated. The ordinary FBG becomes black and brittle, and can not be used in practice even though it still has sensing feature, when temperature reaches more than 300℃. The experiment with the high temperature FBG indicates that the high temperature resistant FBG has good linearity from 20℃ to 350℃, and it is not carbonized, the sensitivity is 0.01nm/MPa, but the linearity is deteriorated with the further increase of temperature. The result shows that the high temperature resistant FBG can be used for the high temperature oil downhole measurement.

Abstract:
According to the ideal approximation of the coupled-mode theory, the Bragg equation and the peak reflectivity expression of the fiber Bragg grating are derived. The relationship between the grating spacing, the grating length, the max of refractive index micro-disturbance and the reflectivity is analyzed. The simulation result shows the least narrow bandwidth of Bragg grating under the defined parameters is 0.02nm when its reflectivity is 1, which is much narrower than the fiber Bragg grating used in typical distributed sensor system. It is proved that this fiber Bragg grating can be used as a fiber grating sensor for distributed demodulation system, which will improve the bandwidth availability of light source in the distributed sensing systems, increase the number of sensing Bragg gratings, eliminate the crosseffect between signals, and reduce the cost of the demodulation system.

Abstract:
The calibration of radiometric sensors is critical to ensure the accuracy of the remote sensing data and their usability. The current methods of the radiometric calibration are based on the establishment of high precision primary standard and standard transfer chain, and the transfer chain is the main source of errors. The entangled photons-based theory creates a new technical way to realize the radiometric calibration of “standardless transfer”. The method of absolute calibration of photodetectors based on a nonclassical effect of the nonlinear optics in the photon-counting regime was discussed. The measurement was realized with the technique of entangled photons at 702nm generated by a parametric down conversion process in a nonlinear crystal of BBO. The photomultiplier quantum efficiency at the wavelength was measured during the experiment. It is estimated that the deviation is 0.1%. The technique is independent of any externally calibrated radiometric standards.

The measurement was realized with the technique of entangled photons at 702nm generated by a parametric down conversion process in a nonlinear crystal of BBO. The photomultiplier quantum efficiency at the wavelength was measured during the experiment. It is estimated that the deviation is 0.1%. The technique is independent of any externally calibrated radiometric standards.

Abstract:
Based on the pretreatment for smooth denoising and contrast enhancement of the speckle fringe patterns, the central skeleton lines of the interference fringes were obtained with the method of edgeextracting, filling and thinning for the electronic speckle fringes. The deficiency in extraction for the skeleton lines of the interference fringes, which can not be overcome by some common algorithms such as binaryzation and thinning due to the strong-noise characteristic of the electronic speckle interference fringes, was overcome by this method. The result shows that the method can find the skeleton lines precisely and provide a new method for achieving the line of equal displacement in the plane displacement field.

Abstract:
The measurement principle and standard set up for the photometric and colorimetric measurement of digital displays panel are presented. The display principles and characteristics of the major products such as CRT, LCD and PDP are introduced. The whole system was calibrated by standard lamp with the standard transferred from the national primary photometric and colorimetric standard. Incorporated with a new spectral detector and a data collection analysis software based on virtual interface technology, the system can measure the unit under test in real time. The uncertainty of the luminance and chromatic coordinates is better than 2% and 0.005 respectively. Major digital flat panel displays in the market are tested, and their parameters such as relative spectral response, luminance, luminance uniformity, contrast ratio, color gamut are calibrated. The test results and performance comparisons are given.

Abstract:
The grating projection method is used for the three-dimension profilometry measurement. But disconnected phase can′t be unwrapped when shadows exist in the grating stripes due to the steps on the object. In order to resolve the problem, the object is put on a precise rotary platform to achieve the clear grating-modulated image of the object by taking two images and mosaicing them together. In the image mosaic, the conception of contrast among successive regions is introduced. Where the contrast of the successive regions is the greatest, the place is regarded as the boundary of the black and white. The place of the boundary of the middle block can be accurately located and the image is mosaiced. At last, Fourier transform profilometry based on dualfrequency grating is used to realize the three-dimensional profilometry reconstruction. The result indicates that the method is simple and accurate, and can successfully solve the problem of the threedimensional profilometry reconstruction of the object with steps.

Abstract:
A simple method of direct-writing polymer waveguides by micro-pen is reported. The fluorinated polyamide strip waveguide were fabricated successfully by this technology, and the relationship of the gas pressure and writing speed with the waveguide width were established. Experimental results show that the directwriting method can fabricate high quality waveguides. The waveguides have the merits of straight edge, smooth surface, no ventage and impurity. Keeping other parameters unchanged, the waveguide width increases with the increase of the gas pressure, but decreases with the increase of the direct-writing speed. The waveguides successfully achieve the function of guiding the light. The minimum propagation loss measured is 0.59dB/cm at 1550nm.

Abstract:
The effects of temperature on the evolution and self-deflection of bright photovoltaic spatial solitons in photovoltaic photorefractive media are investigated with numerical method by taking account of diffusion effect. It is found that the bright solitary beam appears in stable state, large periodic compression and expansion state, or breakdown state when the crystal temperature changes. The results show that the bending distance of the bright solitary beam centre increases with temperature rise, then reaches its maximum value at a specific temperature, and after that, decreases as temperature continuously rises; it approaches zero at low and high temperature ranges. The maximum deflection value and its corresponding specific temperature increase as the intensity of incident solitary wave increases. The self-deflection process of the bright solitary beam is further studied with the perturbation technique, and the results indicate that the values agree with those obtained from the numerical method.
