In view of heat dissipation existed in the high-power LED light, an optimization design was applied to the radiator of the high-power LED with a shroud under the air-cooling condition. A fluid analysis software was used to optimize the internal diameter and height of the shroud, the diameter of the inlet and the angle of the heat sink-s fins while the parameters of the fin structure were fixed.

Lin Chao, Shen Xue-ju, Wang Zhao-hui, Cao Duan-chao, Zhao Cheng
2014, 35(4): 619-623.
Abstract:
To clarify the diffusion and confusion characteristic of phase encoding optical encryption algorithm, based on the spatial shift theorem of Fourier transform together with the block cipher design criterion, the diffusion and confusion characteristic of 2-f system utilizing single random phase mask is analyzed. Process of single random phase encryption is divided into two individual procedures. The analysis results indicate that the confusion operation is introduced mainly by the Fourier transform and the diffusion operation is achieved by combining the Fourier transform and random phase mask. Numerical simulation is performed to verify the theoretical analysis. The entropy is introduced to evaluate the statistical property of ciphertext. The diffusion and confusion characteristics of optical phase encoding algorithm in the Fresnel domain and fractional Fourier domain are further investigated. The research results indicate the entropy for single random phase encryption and double random phase encryption are 7.038 and 7.157,respectively,while entropy for random amplitude encryption is 4.521. Hence, random phase encoding algorithm can achieve better diffusion on plaintext than random amplitude encoding algorithm.

Guo Fei-peng, Li Jing, Gong Qiong, Liu Hong-zhao, Qin Yi
2014, 35(4): 626-631.
Abstract:
In order to avoid the record and transmission of color image with complex ciphertext, we proposed to encrypt color images with a modified joint transform correlator by additional key multiplexing. First of all, a color image was separated into 3 components: red, green, and blue. Then the 3 grey images were encrypted with different additional keys to generate corresponding joint power spectra, and the encryption results were got, namely multiplexed joint power spectra by superposing the above mentioned joint power spectra. Furthermore, the decryption of the multiplexed joint power spectra with the correct additional key could give the corresponding primary grey images. Computer simulations show that the proposal can hide a color image into a single intensity pattern. Since recording intensity image is free from the reference wave, our method relaxes the environment and avoids interference equipment. In addition, compared with previous methods that encrypt image into complex ciphertext, the size of ciphertext of our approach is only half of it, thus the efficiency of the encryption is further improved.

2014, 35(4): 632-637.
Abstract:
The complex amplitude distribution of diffraction light was analyzed by stationary phase integral method, when the point light source was passing through the system composed of two parallel placed transmission gratings with finite width. When the bi-grating imaging condition was satisfied, the comparison between the diffraction image of finite-width bi-grating and that of infinitely wide bi-grating was conducted. It is concluded that the position of bi-grating diffraction image has no effects from the finite-width grating;however,the size of diffraction image is affected by the relative distance and diffraction orders between two gratings. The size of diffraction image was calculated, which was enlarged by 1.22 times, when the condition of bi-grating imaging and some experimental parameters were satisfied. Furthermore,the study on the color of white light ordinary transmission hologram was done based on its principles.

Abstract:
On the request of the stable and reliable trigger required in charge-coupled device (CCD) vertical target measurement system in the condition of firing range, a dual-screen trigging system was presented . The trigging detecting screen was composed of lens-type screen detector, working with the high-intensity LED slow-scattering light, and the velocity-measuring system consists of two identical screen detectors working together with chronometer, and then it judged whether the projectile passing through the screen was real based on the measured velocity and whether to output the trigging signal or not. The time for projectile flying from impacting screen to detecting screen was achieved according to the velocity value V and the distance between impacting screen and detecting screen, and then the triggering signal was output while the projectile was approaching to CCD detecting screen. The proposed scheme can improve the stability of the system, prevent the system from being interfered by unreal targets, and can transmit trigging signal at the precise time to followup CCD image-acquisition system. It has been proved by experiment that the speed measurement error of the designed dual-screen triggering system is not more than 0.4%, fully meeting the demand of the stable and reliable trigger requirement of the CCD vertical target.

In order to solve the problems in weak optical signal detection with wide dynamic range and high background noise, a circuit for detecting weak light based on the principle of logarithmic integral amplification was designed and fabricated. And the Si photodiodes with two different properties (PN and PIN) were used as the photoelectric conversion element to verify the circuit characteristics. Measurement results show that for the incident light power characteristics, the two photodiodes- output are similar and have signal compression. For the incident light frequency characteristics, when f20 Hz, the output amplitude of PN type is 1.2 times more than PIN type, the PN type has higher sensitivity; when f40 Hz, the output amplitude of PN type varied about 90%, the PIN type output is more stable with about 50% maximum variation. Additional, the spectra measured by two photodiodes have the same trend and peak wavelength as the actual spectra.

2014, 35(4): 656-662.
Abstract:
The surface and near surface crack of metallic materials can be detected efficiently and accurately by eddy current thermography. In this paper, combining with eddy current thermography and pulsed phase analysis, 45# steel with surface and subsurface cracks were studied by inductive heating simulation and experiments, which were aimed to solve the problem of the phase spectrum distribution and the influence of temperature distribution on the phase spectrum. It shows that, the phase spectrum distribution has nothing to do with temperature value, but is closely related to temperature trend. The phase image has good suppression to inhomogeneous heating, and can also broaden the detection range. Crack can be easily detected when frequency is below 12.5 Hz. The conclusions are experimentally verified, in order to provide guidance for quantitative crack detection with the phase information in the future study.

Abstract:
ZnS/Al2O3/MgF2 three-layer antireflection coating with wide spectrum (300 nm~1800 nm) was designed in order to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of GaAs multi-junction solar cells. The influence of each layer-s thickness and refractive index on the effective reflectance of film system was analyzed. The results show that the impact of the film thickness of ZnS is greater than that of Al2O3 and MgF2 on the effective reflectance in the whole wavelength,and the impact of MgF2 is the lowest; decreasing the refractivity of MgF2 or increasing the refractivity of ZnS proportionally can get lower effective reflectance. Furthermore, when the optimal physical thickness of ZnS,Al2O3 and MgF2 is 52.77 nm,82.61 nm and 125.17 nm respectively by programming calculation,the minimum effective reflectance is 2.31%.

2014, 35(4): 675-680.
Abstract:
Single point diamond turning can make the surface of the aluminum alloy have good quality and precision, but the left turning grains cause scattering phenomenon that affects the optical effect which hardly meets the requirement of high quality optical system. Direct optical polishing on the surface of the aluminum alloy can remove the turning grains which are caused on the surface and can improve the optical performance of reflecting surface. This experiment adopted the new polishing disk and polishing solution to conduct the polishing test over the surface of the aluminum alloy by single point diamond turning. The result shows that we can remove the periodic turning blade lines remained on the surface of the aluminum alloy through reasonable control of the technological parameter, and by which there is no new superficial scratch, so that we can get better optical superficial quality of the aluminum mirror. The roughness on the surface of the aluminum mirror is 2.6 nm.

Abstract:
In the flat planetary lapping process, the lapping quality of optical lens has close relation with the uniformity of abrasion of lapping plate. In this paper, the motion law of optical lens in the flat planetary lapping process was analyzed. The model of lens motion trajectory and lens motion velocity in the conditions of differential gear trains was set up. Besides, the simulation program was developed with Matlab software. In addition, combined with the actual production process, the lens motion trajectory and lens motion velocity were simulated in the conditions of planetary gear train. The influence law of lapping machine speed ratio on the uniformity of abrasion of lapping plate was confirmed. When the speed radio I1-1.5, the lapping plate is covered by the lens motion trajectory in short time and the abrasion of lapping plate is uniform. Therefore, the lapping process has better quality and higher efficiency than before. Finally, the high quality optical lens, which consistency of lens thickness was better than 0.002 mm and parallelism was better than 0.002 mm, was obtained by optimized process parameters based on the simulation result.

Wang Meng-jiao, Chen Zhi-li
2014, 35(4): 691-695.
Abstract:
This dissertation aimed at the research direction of the etching result and optical property of sapphire. The microwave cyclotron resonance ion source was selected as the research instrument. The incident angle and incident energy of Ar+ ion beam were the parametric variables of the research. The research indicates that different variables can lead to different results. When the incident energy is limited to the levels of 800 eV, 1 000 eV and 1 200 eV, the transmittance achieves a big improvement from 50% to around 75%. The biggest and smallest increase of transmittance appear with the incident energy of 1000ev and 1200ev respectively. Besides, under the circumstances of same incident energy and different incident angles, the roughness of etched sapphire shows the tendency of firstly increasing and then decreasing. However, under the opposite circumstances the roughness does not show significant regularity. In addition, the surface morphology test after etching also receives different results. When the incident angle is constant and the incident energy is 1 000 eV, the point-like nanostructure turns up. Increasing the energy to 1 200 eV, the columnar nanostructure turns up. After variables are swapped, the incident energy is constant,the regular point-like nanostructure or strip-like nanostructure show up with the incident angles of 10, 50 and 80. When the incident angle is set in 30, the surface of sapphire is smooth.

Jia Jun-tao
2014, 35(4): 701-706.
Abstract:
A new self-adaptive calibration algorithm for infrared images based on Gaussian mixed model (GMM) was put forward according to traditional temporal highpass filter (THPF). GMM is applied in the new algorithm for background modeling, and only the pixels whose output values satisfy certain conditions can be updated to the correction coefficient, and the background is updated selectively so as to avoid the influence of the foreground target on the update of the background. The performance of the proposed algorithm was evaluated through infrared image sequences with simulated and real fixed-pattern noise, and the simulated sequences quantitative evaluation was carried out by using the peak signal noise ratio (PSNR). Results show that the PSNR of the new algorithm increases by about 9 dB compared with the THPF. The subjective qualitative evaluation was adopted for real images, the correction results in the traditional method show obvious ghosting artifact while the results of the new algorithm are in the absence of ghosting artifact.

Abstract:
In order to study the application of liquid foam to realize laser camouflage, the experimental camouflage performance of liquid foam on the 1.06 m laser was discussed. The 1.06 m laser echo attenuation values were tested measured under the different parameters of liquid foam. The results show that the attenuation value is up to 66% and down to 36%.

Lei Wen
2014, 35(4): 725-728.
Abstract:
Single-axial rotation can compensate the vertical errors of the inertial apparatus automatically, but can not compensate the axial vertical errors in inertial navigation system. Therefore, the axial drift of ring laser gyroscope (RLG) is an important factor for affecting the accuracy of inertial navigation system. The accurate identification of axial RLG drift can improve the precision of inertial navigation system. The identification model of axial RLG drift based on artificial fish swarm algorithm (AFSA) was introduced and the steps and method were given. The experimental results show the identification model by AFSA is accurate and the drift instability of RLG after it is compensated is 0.000 4 /h. The proposed method is an effective approach and has a better identification precision and engineering practice value.

Through the on-line testing, thermal stress testing and framework performance testing for fiber coil, we could discover and eliminate the stress spike and layering switch phenomena in time,also the optic fiber stress curve reversing induced by framework and heat stress could be removed.
