Abstract:
Direct attack with satellite guided weapon is one of the most important means for precision ground strike. The direct attack operation needs high precision target position, which cannot be satisfied by conventional positioning methods. The relative GPS guidance is the key technology for airborne satellite guided weapon direct attack. This paper presented the direct attack concept of satellite guided weapon, and analyzed the errors of relative GPS guidance technology. The errors were induced by relative GPS position and airborne sensor relative position. The position precisions of them were analyzed. The simulation results indicated that the overall error of the relative GPS guidance was less than 7.5 m, which satisfied the requirement for the satellite guided weapon direct attack.

Abstract:
In order to enable Ternary Phase-amplitude Filters (TPAFs) to be implemented in commercially-available Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) to offer good performances in distortion tolerance, clutter noise suppression and correlation peaks sharpness, OT-TPAFs (Optimal Tradeoff TPAFs) were proposed and the design method was researched. The optimal threshold line angle and region of support can be determined by maximizing a single criterion, so the design procedure was simplified. The experimental results indicate, compared with BPOFs (Binary Phase-only Filters), this kind of filters can give sharp correlation peaks for targets within 30 degrees rotation distortion range in complicated background, which enhances the detection veracity of correlation peaks.

The filter was designed in a 2D square lattice dielectric cylinder photonic-crystal structure which consisted of one input port and two output ports. The transmission properties of the ADF with one photonic crystal ring resonator (PCRR) and two PCRRs were studied by time-domain finite-difference method. The results of investigations show that this structure has high drop efficiency in the third communication window, and the signals dropped by ADF can be propagated along upward, downward, forward and backward directions. This structure has the advantages of tunable switch wavelength, broad band, and high normalized transmission rate. It is applicable in the fields of photonic crystal integration and optical device manufacture.

Abstract:
A mathematic model for calculating the ellipticity of the output beams in slightly noncoplanar resonators is given. By analyzing the error in the patent registed by R. H. Moore and taking the stress effect of the output mirror into account, the ellipticity of the output beams was analyzed. And it is found that the stress effect of the output mirror has the unsymmetrical influence on the clockwise and counterclockwise ellipticities of output beams. Moreover, the validity of the theoretical analysis is vertified by the experiment. Based on these results, the method proposed by R. H. Moore, S. W. Hammons et al.for aligning the light path can not reduce the magnetic effect by controlling the distortion angle of square ring resonators effectively.

Abstract:
To meet visual tracking requirements in complex environment where obscuration, illumination change and size variation may occur, this paper presents a particle filter algorithm based on posterior probability measurement. Compared with Bhattacharyya coefficient similarity measurement index, the posterior probability measurement index has stronger peak value characteristic. This paper uses the posterior probability index as similarity measurement function, and realizes the tracking algorithm by particle update, propagation, observation and estimation. The video image sequences were tested for object tracking. The experimental results show that only 50% of the image sequences can be scale-adaptive by the traditional algorithm, while this algorithm can converge to the real contrail of object by 25% particles of the traditional algorithm, the obscuration resistant capability is improved, and 90% of image sequences can get scale-adaptive effect.

Abstract:
One advantage of interferential spectrometer is that it provides high-resolution spectrum, which can be used to recognize and analyze objects through spectral matching. The Fourier transform is a necessary step in converting inferferogram to spectrum, while it is complex and time-consuming. A spectral recognition technology based on interferogram matching is proposed without Fourier transform. The interferogram of object to be matched is obtained by interferential spectrometer, and it is matched to the expected one through correlation calculation, which is a relatively rapid process. The simulation result validates the feasibility of the technology.

Abstract:
Photography measurement can be used for measuring target flight attitude in test field. Since the target attitude is described by its axis orientation in space, its interpretation can be achieved by obtaining the axis orientation of the target. For the image interpretation, different methods should be adopted to different types of targets. This paper presents three methods for image interpretation: the interpretation based on head-tail spots, the line-based interpretation, and the model-based interpretation.The interpretations of different targets are achieved effectively.

Abstract:
Based on the shortcomings of standard median filtering, this paper puts forward two improved median filtering algorithms referred as the weighted fast median filtering algorithm and the weighted adaptive median filtering algorithm. The experiment results with MATLAB show that both of them can retain the original image details and edge nicely. The two improved algorithms are compared and the comparison indicates that the weighted fast median filtering algorithm has a significant effect on low-density impulse noise, while having non-ideal effect on high-density impulse noise, it could improve the speed of median filtering operation and could be used for digital images real-time processing; the weighted adaptive median filtering algorithm could effectively eliminate the high-density impulse noise from polluted images, and it has more superior filtering performance than the standard median filtering while having better robustness on de-noising than the weighted fast median filtering algorithm.

Abstract:
Distortion and mass data are difficult problems in image sequence mosaic on vehicle-borne camera platform. A fast image sequence mosaic method was proposed for solving the problems. Firstly, the distortion was removed after image preprocessing. Secondly, the speeded up robust features (SURF) were extracted from preprocessing images and the features were matched. The rate of feature matching was defined as a similarity measure of frames to extract key frames. Then, by using the improved image registration method without accumulated error, a global model was established. Finally, the image sequence mosaic was obtained through image fusion of the maximum. The experimental results show that the method is robust and fast.

Abstract:
With the rapid development of image fusion technology, image fusion quality evaluation plays a very important guiding role in selecting or designing image fusion algorithms. Objective image quality assessment is an interesting research subject in the field of image quality assessment. The ideal objective evaluation method is consistent with human perceptual evaluation. The paper gives an overview of existing image fusion quality assessment algorithms. Firstly, basic objective evaluation specifications are presented briefly. Secondly, objective image quality assessment algorithms are classified into 4 categories: based on edge information preservation, based on structural similarity (SSIM), based on information theory and based on contrast. They are introduced with emphasis on their strategies and characteristics. At last, the trends of future research are summarized. Objective image quality assessment considering features of the human visual system or based on specific visual tasks is more and more popular. Quality assessments of no reference image and color fusion image are important development directions in future.

Abstract:
Talbot-Moir based methods utilizes Talbot self-image effect and amplification of Moir fringe for long focal length measurement. Because of the phase transformation of lens, the measurement based on Talbot effect and Moir fringes of Ronchi gratings is suitable to long focal length. The focal length of measured lens is calculated according to its relation to the slope coefficient of Moir fringes taken with CCD camera. Since the focal length of measured lens is much greater than its thickness,the phase transformation of lens to Gauss light beams is approximately expressed by the phase transformation of thin lens to spherical wave.Therefore, the measurement of long focal length is applicable for both Gauss and non-Gasussian lights. Finally, the concept, error and precision limit are analyzed, and the pitch error of the grating is the major contributor.

Abstract:
The radiant temperature measurement of the flame plays an important role in steel smelt and welding or dynamic launch system for the description of steel components and flying object status, as well as cauterization of the trajectory. Due to its extremely high temperature and transient process, the radiant temperature of the flame can hardly be measured by traditional methods. A novel pyrophotometer based on classical theory of Planck-s law (Blackbody radiation law) and multi-spectral radiation method was put forward. With this pyrophotometer, any spectrum can be selected from the wavelength of 300 nm to 860 nm within 2 ns. The use of hig-resolution diffraction grating and fibers ensures the accuracy of the selected spectrum. This instrument provides accurate radiant temperature measurements of object surface and real-time spectral emissivity. The experiments of high-speed flying object and bromine tungsten bulb were conducted. Experimental results indicate that this method is feasible and accurate.

Abstract:
A real-time test system for moving targets was designed to test the system coordination accuracy of weapon system operating at 0-fly mode, and measure the tracking and pointing error. In the surveillance of long range moving targets, the system adopted double optical paths, a binocular tube of long focus and short focus, and an electric switching device to carry out the real-time observation for long and short range targets. The binocular tube was installed at the same machine body to ensure the concentricity by means of eccentric frame and eccentric ring. The fixture had fine tuning mechanism of pitch and azimuth to regulate the boresight between optical axis and gun axis. The measurement data with high precision and high fidelity were obtained. The static angle measurement accuracy of the tubes with 50 mm and 300 mm focal length was tested, and the experimental results showed that the accuracy was less than 0.4 mrad and 0.2 mrad respectively, which met the target requirements. This modular test system is reliable and can be widely used in military and civil applications.

Abstract:
Nonlinear errors were introduced by non-ideal 1/4 wave plate and polarizing beam splitter (PBS) when using a homodyne Mach-Zehnder interferometer to monitor the optical frequency of a tunable laser. The error formula of the system was theoretically deduced by mathematically modeling the interferometer with Jones matrix. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation indicated that the nonlinear errors of the system were the linear superposition of first and second harmonic wave errors, the first harmonic wave errors were mainly caused by the unbalance of the two PBSs- alignment errors, the second were mainly caused by wave-plate-s alignment errors, PBS-s alignment errors and wave plate-s phase delay errors, and the overall second harmonic wave errors were approximately the linear superposition of the errors caused independently by these three error sources, errors caused by polarization leakage of the PBS could be neglected if the leakage was small.

Abstract:
Conventional fiber cladding only has leaking evanescent wave with low energy, which prevents the application of cladding sensing. Guiding light in the full cladding is expected to improve the sensitivity of hollow-core photonic crystal fiber (HC-PCF) application for material sensing. An approach to increase the energy transmitting in the cladding was theoretical analyzed. The light guidance experiments of air-hole cladding of HC-PCF were carried out by using a cold light source and a laser. The contrast experiments between total internal reflection-photonic crystal fiber (TIR-PCF) and single-mode fiber (SMF) were done. The results indicated that, by choosing appropriate wavelength, the light in HC-PCF leaked entirely into the cladding and propagated in the air-suspended silica cores between the air holes, which was different from TIP-PCF and SMF-28.

Abstract:
The single-polarization single-mode (SPSM) micro-structure polymer optical fiber (MPOF) was designed based on polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). A full vector finite element method together with beam propagation method was adopted to study the SPSM properties. By optimal designing, we found that only one polarization state of the fundamental mode could be transmitted within the visible light region from 0.52 m to 0.63 m according to the different cutoff wavelengths of the two orthogonal polarization modes. For MPOF with 11 rings of hexagonally arrayed air-holes, the confinement loss of 1.13 dB/m was obtained at 0.57 m. This low loss SPSM-MPOF can greatly eliminate the polarization crosstalk and polarization mode dispersion.

Abstract:
Modified SiO2 sols were prepared by base-catalyzed co-hydrolysis and condensation reaction of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS). The effects of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) on the properties of coatings were investigated. The single film of SiO2 was deposited on fused silica by dip coating method. The coatings with different components were processed with heat treatment or ultraviolet irradiation, and then modified by the octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS)/toluene solution. The well water-repellent nano-silica films were obtained by self-assembled technique. The influences of different treatments on film-s transmission spectra, contact angle, surface morphology and laser damage threshold were analyzed. The results indicated the coatings modified by OTS exhibited excellent hydrophobic properties and the performances of laser damage thresholds were improved. The surface of SiO2 thin film became smoother when PVP was added.

Abstract:
A fast multi-rule track initiation algorithm used in an infrared staring tracking system is proposed to overcome the deficiency of conventional track initiation algorithm. Based on the analysis of the target signatures and its kinematics in the infrared staring system, an initiation rule for determining the threat probability and course variance of low-speed or even static targets with high threat probability or targets with fragmentary plots is put forward, and fast track of these targets in the staring system is initiated. Simulation result indicates that the algorithm controls the probability of false track below 10%, and initiates tracks after only 3 or 4 sampling periods. The validity and robustness of the algorithm is verified in clutter environment.

Abstract:
The stability of laser output power is one of the important parameters to evaluate the laser performance. This paper introduced the operation principle and the structural features of a laser-diode (LD) end-pumped single-frequency Nd∶YAG laser at 1 064 nm , analyzed the main factors that affected the stability of the Nd∶YAG laser output power , proposed and experimentally studied a control scheme for stabilizing the Nd∶YAG laser output power. Since the output power of the Nd∶YAG laser was proportional to the LD-s injection current when the temperature of the LD and the Nd∶YAG crystal rod was stable, the control scheme strictly controlled the temperature of the LD and the Nd∶YAG crystal rod, and the LD-s injection current was adjusted through a negative feedback control system when the Nd∶YAG laser output power fluctuated. The experimental results indicated that when the output power of the LD-pumped single-frequency Nd∶YAG laser at 1 064 nm was about 11.5 mW, the laser output power stability was better than 1.3% within 130 min using the designed control system.

Abstract:
Electro-optical detectors are widely used in many fields. However, temperature rise due to the absorption of laser and other phenomena may damage detectors. Using thermal elastic theory, the investigation on K9 material radiated by CO2 laser is done. According to the two-dimensional planar model, the transient distributions of temperature field and thermal stress field which result from laser radiation on semiconductor material are obtained by analytical calculation. The results show that the K9 glass damage threshold of laser radiation is dependent on the radiation time and beam radius. Under the same conditions, the thermal stress damage threshold is lower than the melting damage threshold, so the damage reason of K9 glass material is thermal stress damage.

Abstract:
A microscopic imaging system with a 405 nm blue laser as light source and a 0.65 numerical aperture objective lens was studied. We carried on the microscopic imaging for CD-R and DVD-R discs by using the system, eliminated the laser imaging speckles, observed and stored the microscopic images in real time by utilizing the CCD image sensor technology and the image capturing technology, and compared them with the one using halogen lamp as the light source. The results showed that when this system used the white light of halogen lamp as the light source, the information points on CD-R disc could be clearly resolved, while the image on DVD-R disc couldn-t; however, images on both CD-R and DVD-R discs were clear when the 405 nm laser was used as the light source, and the resolution was better than 400 nm, significantly higher than the ordinary halogen lamp white lighting system.

Abstract:
Based on the two-temperature theory, a numerical model to solve the heating process in surface vicinity irradiated by ultrashort pulse laser is established to investigate the influence of temperature-dependent properties of material on temperature field in metal(Au) irradiated by ultrashort pulse laser. Taking account of the temperature-dependent properties of material which includes the electron-phonon coupling factor, electron thermal conductivity, electron heat capacity, lattice heat capacity, as well as the spatial and temporal shapes of the laser pulse, the transient temperature field irradiated by ultrashort pulse laser in metal(Au) is numerical simulated by the finite element method (FEM). The electron and lattice transient temperature distributions in the vicinity of laser-irradiated region are obtained. Moreover, the temperature fields obtained from considering and neglecting the temperature-dependent properties of material are compared. The numerical results indicate that the temperature-dependent properties of material make the electron and lattice temperatures rise faster, the temperature maximum and the irradiated become higher. This study establishes a theory basis for stress field and ultrasound field in metal generated by femto-second laser.
