Abstract:
Aiming at the visual field change-over of electro-optical system, a flexibility change-over method was presented to improve the accuracy and speed of the visual field change-over. The double visual field integrated coaxial and total imaging surface optical system was designed to meet the requirements of miniaturization and light-weight for the electro-optical imaging system of a certain electro-optical tracing device. Using the polarization principle of polarizer, the electro-optical systems of these two large and small visual field were divided into two optical channels of pitching polarization and yawing polarization. Using the liquid crystal rotator (two positions of 0,90) and the polarize principle of polarizer, time-sharing (flexibility change-over) gating of these two optical channels of pitching polarize and yawing polarize was carried out. The test result shows that the (flexibility) change-over time of these two optical channel is milliseconds only, which is 1% of the mechanical change-over.

Abstract:
Under moving condition, the imaging process of optoelectronic system is a dynamic process in a certain period of the integration time. Therefore it needs to invoke the concept of dynamic modulation transfer function (MTF) to evaluate the impact of motion on the imaging quality. By designing a dynamic MTF testing system, the data processing and theoretical analysis for variation of the dynamic MTF were carried out under the moving conditions. Experimental results show that when it is the high frequency vibration, with the increase of the amplitude, the impact of MTF is stronger and the MTF value of the difference is 0.01~0.1 compared with static conditions; when low-frequency vibration, with the reinforcement of vibration frequency as well as the increase of amplitude or integration time, the MTF decreases obviously and the MTF value of the difference is 0.01~0.5 compared with static conditions.

2013, 34(6): 933-937.
Abstract:
In order to obtain the high surface quality of physical vapor deposition (PVD) modified RB-SiC mirror and solve the problems of the surface defects in the practical processing, we conducted studies on the forming mechanism and the processing method of defects. According to Preston hypothesis, it was deduced that higher impact on the large rimes in PVD layer could be the main reason which may cause surface defects. The experiment proved that the defects would appear if the polishing speed or the polishing presure was too high. In order to reduce and avoid surface defects effectively, it was reasonable to control the relative polishing speed and polishing pressure, in the meanwhile, the polishing efficiency could be maintained. According to the analysis above, the surface defects could be renovated after 0.7 m~1 m of coating material was removed with the proper polishing speed and pressure, while new defects did not appeare any more.

Therefore, a method of effectively improving optical path difference by multiple reflections was put forward, based on one single PEM posted on the total reflection film. By deducing and analyzing the influence of the different reflective situation on the optical path difference, the formula of the optical path difference was got after multiple reflections of incidence in arbitrary angle and position. The method was proved by COMSOL, MATLAB, ZEMAX simulations and experiments. The adopted photoelastic crystal was ZeSe and the piezoelectric crystal was quartz. Result shows that the relative error of experiment and theory is 0.21%, which provides the theoretical basis for the engineering application of this method.

Gray projection method for electronic image stabilization has poor image stabilization effect and it may cause the error stability when there is a moving target in the image sequence. In order to solve the problem, we proposed an improved gray projection algorithm which referred to the position estimation method for partial moving target and the pixel alternative method, based on the analysis of the basic theory for gray projection. We estimated the position of the partial moving target using a change of gray value, and removed the partial moving target with the method of pixel alternative to stabilize image. Through analysis and verification, the conclusion is that this method can well process the image which has problems and improve the image stabilization effect.

Finally, Euclidean distance was calculated to reflect the similarity of spectrum and texture. Experimental data demonstrates the objectivity of the approach. The comprehensive distance between camouflage raincoat and lawn background is 1.3225 that proves they fuse best.

Abstract:
Automatic vision measurement by color vision device is the development trend of color measurement for industrial application. The average color reproduction error of illumination and the spectral response functions of camera have a strong impact on the measurement accuracy. Therefore, the correction images were obtained by the same camera under the artificial D65 illuminator and the LED array illuminator, respectively, the color correction was performed by polynomial regression method in standard red green blue (sRGB) and CIEL*a*b* device-independent color space simultaneously. Results showed that before correction, the color differences of images were 27.68E and 16.09E, respectively, meaning illuminated by artificial D65 illumination was less than illuminated by LED array illumination; After correction, the color of images obtained by different illuminators was close to each other, the average color differences were 2.56E and 2.39E, respectively. Using sRGB as the device-independent color space was better than CIEL*a*b* color space due to the high accuracy, the simple correction process and the convenience of image display. Finally an actual picture captured by color measurement device was corrected in sRGB color space. The results showed the importance of correction for color vision device.

2013, 34(6): 1030-1035.
Abstract:
In laser rod, the unevenly distributed pump-light caused the gain function vary over the medium, which could bring changes on the mode of the oscillated laser. A method was developed to estimate the influence degree of the non-uniform pumping light on the laser mode, by which the deviation of the oscillating field from its origin form could be given in terms of percentage. Based on it, a quasi-continuous three directional side pumped laser was discussed, in order to find the feature of the affection that the varying pumping light acted on the oscillating laser. Result shows that the changes of the oscillating mode brought by the pumping light have monotonic relations with the pumping power and the cavity loss, and the influence of pumping light on oscillating field only depends on its variation over vertical section, and is free from the distribution along the propagation direction of the oscillating laser. The magnitude order of the effect is obtained through numerical calculation, which is less than 4% when the pumping power is 2 000 W and is larger than 20% when the pumping power is 6 000 W.

2013, 34(6): 1036-1040.
Abstract:
In order to study the influence of different curvatures on the performance parameters of ring laser gyro (RLG), the diffractive loss calculation model was established in theory based on the cavity theory. The waist variation of RLG resulted from the curvature variation assembly was calculated by simulation, which could further cause diffraction loss variation. And starting from the effect of aperture diffractive loss on the backscattering of RLG,the influence of waist on the performance of RLG was analyzed. The calculated results indicates that the variation of diffractive loss is 3% when the variation of the curvature radius is less than 0.3 m, which would cause the bias varying 0.013 Hz; the variation of diffractive loss is 15% when the variation of the curvature radius is about 0.6 m, which would cause the bias varying 0.021 Hz; thus, the variation of diffractive exceeds to 30% when the variation of the curvature radius is more than 1.5 m, which would cause the resonator detuning, that is no laser comes into being. Both loss and bias were measured when the curvature was changed. The test results accords with the theory, the variation of curvature has obviously effect on diffractive loss and its performance.

Abstract:
Polarization dependent loss (PDL) and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in direct detection optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (DDO-OFDM) system influence performance seriously in high speed transmission. The mathematical model and mechanism of transmission were analyzed in DDO-OFDM systems. Analysis and simulation results show that, PDL and PMD may bring amplitude and phase noise which could be eliminated by signal equalization. Meanwhile, PMD may mitigate the effect of PDL because of the rotation of the state of polarization(SOP). The system Q value is improved by about 0.8 dB for 480 km distance and speed of 10 Gbit/s transmission through standard-single-mode fiber (SSMF) with the differential group delay (DGD) of 50 ps.

Abstract:
An angular velocity sensing experimental measurement system, with high-Q optical microsphere cavity as the core sensitive component, was set up based on the theory of angular velocity sensor. During the experiment, the resonance curve of optical microsphere cavity and the corresponding demodulation curve were obtained by the modulation and demodulation; the lock-tracking of resonance point by the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) feedback control circuit was achieved, and the locked accuracy of resonance point was about 10 kHz. The experiment for testing two different rotating angular velocities, low and high, was carried out, then the data was analyzed to obtain the result of the trend of the output signal amplitude corresponding to the change of the rotational angular velocity provided by the test table. The sensing effect of high-Q optical microsphere cavity angular velocity was proved preliminarily, which could provide the foundation for the further research of high-Q optical micro-resonator angular rate sensors.

Abstract:
In order to meet the requirements of component surface micro-topography measurement system for remote transmission and real-time online non-contact measurement, as well as high accuracy, high resolution and high signal-to-noise ratio measurement, we presented an optical-fiber heterodyne method of contour detection based on acousto-optic modulation. We established the mathematical model through the principle analysis, drew the suface roughness measurment block diagram and measured the suface roughness of the testing component with achieving the resolution of 1 nm. Moreover, we discussed the source of uncertainty and control method, the measurement accuracy was 1. Results show that the noise, resolution and measurement can be improved by the fiber-optic hererodyne contour detecting technique based on acoustooptic modulation.
