2012, 33(6): 1014-1018.
Abstract:
High junction temperature of LED has been the technical bottleneck of the development of high power LED. With the rising of heat flux density, the simple straight fin heat sink can not meet the requirement of heat dissipation in natural cooling conditions. We set up a heat dissipation system based on the heatpipe technology, analyzed the heat transfer mechanism and the route of heat dissipation ,then established the model of thermal network according to the physical model and calculated the thermal resistance of each part, finally got the total theoretical thermal resistance and the LED junction temperature. At the same time, we made a simulation analysis of this heat dissipation system by using the finite element method. Simulation results of the LED module(0.025 m0.025 m0.005 m) with 30 W input power show that the junction temperature of LED stable is at 58.19℃, less than 65℃ which is the deadline of requirement. The cooling system applying the heat pipe meets the requirement of design well. The theoretical junction temperature calculated by thermal model is 57.43℃,only 0.76℃ less than the simulation result, implying the error is only 1.31%,this validates the theoretical analysis calculation ,which has guiding significance for practical engineering design.

2012, 33(6): 1063-1068.
Abstract:
The current information monitoring and warning system usually works by adopting one of the detectors such as the TV camera, low-light-level (LLL) TV and infrared thermal imager or switching among them. Every detector has its own advantages and disadvantages, which cannot fully reflect the needs of monitoring information when just using general models. In order to solve this problem, a video monitoring system with image fusion technology was designed. Through the analysis of the imaging mechanism and features of the three complementary detectors, the components of this video monitoring system were introduced. Based on the working principle of the system, the main structure of the front detection system was designed. The turntable achieves the field of view of +90~-30in vertical direction and 175in horizontal. The optical-axis parallelism error of the system is less than 0.5 mrad. After the discussion of the fusion algorithm and registration of images from different fields of view, the experiment of image fusion was done to test the performance of this system. Finally, image quality and system real-time testing show that the video image fusion monitoring system can realize all-day information monitoring.

Abstract:
Multiple prism beam splitter can enlarge the parallel beam width and arrange the intensity distribution, which is used in the experimental simulation of lightening optical emission with different intensity distribution and high parallelism multi-channel beam. In order to obtain multi-channel parallel beam, penta prism scanning method was applied to test the multi-channel beams- parallelism in four-prism beam splitter with four prisms equally separated in the mechanical foundation. After we acquired the intensity distribution diagrams related to multi-channel optical axis by CCD, the software of centroid deviation calculation was programmed to feedback the accurate site-deviation information for prism calibration, which had the advantages of simpleness and convenience. The calibrated four-prism beam splitter had the optical axis matching precision less than 3, 4 and 4.5 in x-direction, y-direction and zdirection respectively, and the ratio of four-beam parallel light-s intensity was about 8∶4∶2∶1. If the resolution of CCD is improved and the focal length of the objective is enlarged, the precision of optical axis matching will achieve the seconds order.

2012, 33(6): 1092-1096.
Abstract:
Based on the spectral phase interferometry of direct electricfield reconstruction (SPIDER), the spectral phase of femtosecond laser pulse was reconstructed with numerical simulations. Several crucial parameters, such as the time delay, frequency shear, width of filter window and dispersion were analyzed on the optimal selection. When the dispersion and pulse width were given, the time delay had an optimum range. When the relative spectral shear was 5% ~15% and the width of filter window was /3 ,the reconstructed phase error was minimum. The noise was reduced by taking mean of the interferograms. The characterization of Ti:sapphire pulse was measured by using SPIDER. The comparison with autocorrelation measurement showed the validity of experiment.

YU Dong-yu, YANG Hong-ru, LI Hong-guang
2012, 33(6): 1101-1104.
Abstract:
In order to quantify the terahertz radiation of objects, the terahertz signals in blackbody radiation were measured. All measurements were conducted in vacuum circumstance, with liquid-nitrogen refrigerating to avoid any outside stray light. Meanwhile, those terahertz signals were focused on a detector by Cassegrain telescope. Afterwards, the output signals were further analyzed by a lock-in amplifier, and were compared with each other in different time constants. Results suggested that, with a constant temperature of 323 K, the measurements before and after liquid-nitrogen refrigerating were different with a discrepancy of about 3 v. Moreover, the time constant also had a great influence on the experimental results, with 3 s most appropriate in this study. However, due to the complicated noise sources and high noise levels, the radiation energy of the blackbody was too weak, and made the temperature resolution of the detection systems very low.

YUAN Lü-jun, YANG Fan
2012, 33(6): 1118-1122.
Abstract:
A method for fast testing aspheric surface with small asphericity (less than 0.01 mm) was proposed, which does not need compensation system or other optical elements. First the practical wavefront aberration was measured by phase-shifting interferometer, and the adjustment errors were eliminated. Then the theoretical wavefront aberration of aspheric surface on-axis or off-axis was calculated based on the equation of aspheric surface. At last the residual wavefront aberration (surface error) was obtained by subtracting the theoretical wavefront from practical wavefront. A hyperboloidal mirror with the diameter of 135 mm was measured by this method, meanwhile this mirror was tested by null compensation; the tested results by these two methods are similar. It concludes that the method of digital wavefront for testing aspheric surface is feasible.

Abstract:
In order to coordinate with the ground detection tracking system for detecting the flight target, we designed an air-based monochromatic beacon system. A 40W high-power semiconductor laser is used as the light source of the system, which has a certain beam divergence. As the beacon system should meet the requirements of smaller in size, lighter in weight and faster in heat dissipating to fit the air-platform, we designed the aluminum shell as fin chip in onepiece for laser, which helped solve the heat dissipation problem and reduce the system weight. To achieve the 60A high constant current, we need to drive the 40W semiconductor laser module in the limited room, the principle of diphase overlay synchronous and buck transformation circuit structure is adopted. To make the laser output power and central wavelength stable in high altitude, we designed the temperature control system with digital and analog hybrid for heating or cooling. The ZEMAX is used to design the structure of the beam expander device with double-concave lens group, which can regulate the angle of divergence of the light beam. By conducting the environmental assessment and test, we proved that in the 0℃~15 ℃ environment, the stability of the output power and the control precision of the central wavelength could meet the requirements.

The results indicate that the measuring error is less than 1.5%, which satisfies the requirement for the reflection phase retardation measurement.

Abstract:
The manual-align system for packaging planar optical waveguide was improved with 3 monochrome cameras added, as well as 3 AV to USB capture cards, through which the align images could be gathered. In order to achieve the parallelism detection of the waveguide splitter with the input and the output of optical fiber array, by using the LabVIEW8.2 and IMAQ vision software programming, a series of processing and identification including image brightnesscontrast-gamma(BCG) adjustments, reverse, closing, edge detection, manual thresholding, morphological changes and linear fitting were carried out. It was proved that this system could save 10 min of the packaging time on average taking the 132-channel planar optical waveguide by one journeyman for example, reduce the amount of labor of the operator and the alignment loss, as well as the human error.
