2015, 36(4): 497-502. doi: 10.5768/JAO201536.0401001
Abstract:
The structure dynamic effect is a key factor to affect the stabilization accuracy. Currently, the most effective method to analyze the structure dynamics is to combine finite-element modal(FEM) analysis and experimental modal analysis. A two-axis and four-frame structure of a sight-stabilization system was taken as the research object of this paper. Firstly, the modal pre-analysis was completed using FEM. According to the vibration mode characteristics of simulation results, the modal for the out frames of two-axis and four-frame structure was tested. The natural frequencies, vibration modes and modal damp ratio were listed for the former 8-order modals. The mutual authentication between modal simulation and test shows that the accuracy level of the natural frequencies for two-axis and four-frame structure can be lower than 15% using FEM and the relevance of the vibration modes are good in the case of enough test point density.

2015, 36(4): 543-549. doi: 10.5768/JAO201536.0402002
Abstract:
Based on the balanced detection and stationary wavelet transform (SWT) algorithm, a broadband low coherent white light source with center wavelength of 700 nm was employed to set up a time-domain optical coherence tomography (TDOCT) system in free space. The resolution of the developed OCT system was down to 0.93 m and it was applied to nondestructive evaluation of plastic sheets and transparent-tape multi-layered thin-film structures.The imaging enhancement methods in the process of OCT images were compared. To resolve the problem of unsatisfactory reconstruction results using current algorithms, the SWT decomposition algorithm was introduced to deal with the OCT images of the multi-layered structures. The experimental results show that this SWT-based method could extract more distinct interface interference signal from the SWT detail coefficients and therefore the interface imaging quality of multi-layered structures could be enhanced.

2015, 36(4): 550-558. doi: 10.5768/JAO201536.0402003
Abstract:
Aiming at the problem that traditional auto-focus windows selection algorithms are susceptible to content distribution, impurities and noise, an auto-focus windows selection method depending on variation of content pixels is proposed. The method takes a weighted average of the amount of gray-leveldifference pixels and the amount of edge pixels as the number of content pixels, then measures image content of sub-block in blurred state and divides focusing windows by the variation of content pixels. In the meantime, the proposed method estimates content distribution information of original image using image content of each sub-block in downsampling image. Besides, the proposed method detects out-of-blurred areas using combined detection of local standard deviation and sharp edge pixels, and it effectively excludes the misjudgments of focal plane caused by the impurities on coverslips. Compared with the traditional auto-focus windows selection algorithms, the proposed method could obtain effective focusing windows for each microscopic sequence varying in richness and distribution of the image content, the corresponding mean gradient of pixels is higher, and the acquired focus measure curve has fewer local extreme values and sharp performance, therefore, the proposed method has more advantages in success ratio and robustness.

Abstract:
To improve the observation precision of solar spectrum, a calibration method based on standard detector for a novel prism dispersion solar irradiance spectroradiometer was developed in the visible-near infrared bands. With the standard irradiance detector, and the uniform irradiance source acquired from the tunable laser-illuminated integrating sphere, the spectral irradiance responsibility of the spectroradiometer was traced to the cryogenic absolute radiometer in the 10 bands. The uncertainty of this method is better than 0.95%. The deviations with the standard lamp calibratin method traced to the blackbody are less than 4.67%, which validate the rationality of the radiometer standard transfer method for solar irradiance spectroradiometer.

2015, 36(4): 580-583. doi: 10.5768/JAO201536.0403004
Abstract:
Calibration for the quantum efficiency of detectors is a new research subject. Spontaneous-parametric-down-conversion (SPDC) has the disadvantages of low conversion efficiency and signal noise ratio (SNR). In order to improve the power of correlation photon, a shortwave laser was used to pump the periodically poled lithium niobate (PPLN) crystal. The influence of incident angle on the conversion efficiency, spatial distribution, bandwidth and crystal poling period was analyzed based on numerical simulation. It is proved that the conversion efficiency is high, the bandwidth of correlation photon is narrow and the divergence angle is large for normal incident pumped beam. While the incident angle increases, the conversion efficiency becomes lower, the bandwidth and divergence angle are smaller and the position of central wavelength can shift. The result presented is a theoretical support for correlated photon detection and highly accurate calibration for quantum efficiency of detector.

Abstract:
In order to achieve the measurement of objects with significant jumping surface profile,a three-dimensional shape measurement system based on fringe projection in four-step phase shifting was established and the adopted four-step phase-shift measurement algorithm was studied. After introducing the principle of four-step phase shifting, a measurement algorithm for the apparent jumping faces was established, by taking a triangular pyramid rubber with significant jump faces for example. Firstly, the average gray image was calculated through a sum of the four phase shifting images and divided by four. Secondly,the binaryzation of average gray image was processed to position the obvious jumping surface or shadows. Last but not least, the convolution of binary image with wrapped phase map was done and then the wrapped phase map was unwrapped to get the correct continuous phase and reconstruct the 3D shape of the object. Experiments were taken to calculate the volume of the triangular pyramid rubber by shape measurement with the proposed algorithm. Experimental results show that the mean precision of volume measurement is 0.47%, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm and its good precision.

Abstract:
For monochromatic light interferometry under open-loop phase shifter, a high precision method for phase recognization was developed to satisfy four-step phase-shift algorithm. Firstly two pixels with suitable phase-difference were selected from the interference field, and the interference equations of the two pixels gray values were established in one phase-shifting cycle. Secondly, the interference equations parameters could be obtained by using ellipse fitting algorithm, and the point-to-point driven step length and sequence phases could be determined through back calculation of sequence phases. Then four interference gray scales meeting the four-step phase-shift algorithm were designed and calculated through Lagrange parabolic interpolation, which were used to calculate the initial phase of every pixel. Finally, the surface topography was calculated through multi-wavelength algorithm and the measurement errors were analyzed. Experimental results show that the Ra value of square wave specimen with multiple grooves is 0.4390m, and the measurement error is 0.23%. This method decreases the requirement for hardware and environment. It can meet the high precision demands of surface topography measurement.

2015, 36(4): 618-623. doi: 10.5768/JAO201536.0405004
Abstract:
A phase shifter based on photoinduced anisotropy of bacteriorhodopsin film was designed and applied in phase-shifting interferometry. Photoinduced anisotropy in bacteriorhodopsin film is based on photoanisotropic selective bleaching of bacteriorhodopsin molecules under polarized excitation light. It is modulated by the polarization orientation of the linearly polarized excitation light. While it passes through the anisotropic bacteriorhodopsin film, a circularly polarized light is converted into an elliptical polarized light. The polarization properties of the elliptical polarized light are dependent on the polarization orientation of the linearly polarized excitation light. A phase shifter based on the photoinduced anisotropy of bacteriorhodopsin film was presented theoretically by Jones matrix and experimentally. Phase shift is controlled by the polarization orientation of the external excitation light, thus, it can be controlled without moving parts inside the Mach-Zender interferometer, which contributes to the mechanical stability of the system. Least square method, which bases on four-step phase-shifting interferometry, was applied to the reconstruction of the profile of phase object. The experiments were conducted to verify the feasibility of this phase shifter on the phase-shifting interferometry.

The morphology of this nano-flower-like membrane was investigated by the field emission scanning electron microscopy, and the constituent parts were analyzed with the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, all the results demonstrated that nanoflower-like film was CuCl2. Then, the characteristic photo luminescence spectra of the AAO film coated with nano-flower-like CuCl2 membrane were measured at room temperature. Results show that the position center of excitation is 290 nm and the emission center is 415 nm, these data are the same as the values of AAO film; however, it is excited that the intensity of luminescence increased significantly,from 127 cd to 183 cd.Furthermore, comparing with the excitation and emission spectra of CuCl2 powder and AAO film, the reason that improving the luminous intensity of the AAO film coated nanoflowerlike membrane is the morphology of CuCl2 nano-structures.

Abstract:
Detection of small, low contrast infrared targets in complex backgrounds requires a significant improvement in the detective ability of photoelectric theodolites. An adaptive Gaussian high-pass filter was proposed based on a description of the dagree of infrared background complexity. The noise of images was reduced by updating a medial filter, and the degree of background complexity was quantitatively described by variance-weighted information entropy. The cutoff frequency of the filter was automatically adjusted according to the degree of background complexity.This technique resulted in the automatic detection of small, low contrast targets in different infrared backgrounds. The new method was verified by experiment and the result shows the new method can effectively detect small, low contrast targets in different infrared backgrounds.

Abstract:
In order to research the reliability of filters at cryogenic temperature, Ge-based and sapphire-based mid-wave infrared (MWIR) band-pass filters were coated, and the experiments at cryogenic temperature for 5 min,15 min,25 min,35 min and even more than 300 min were done,respectively, the transmittance curves were showed. Furthermore, the impact of cryogenic temperature on the spectral characteristics and fastness after were studied.The transmittance of passband zone reduces with the time increasing at cryogenic temperature, and there is a small shift of 13nm for center wavelength, resulted from the relative variation of the high and low refractivities of deposited coatings which can induce the ratio between center and cut-off wavelengths to change. Compared to the sapphire substrate,Ge substrate is more sensitive to temperature,so the fall range of transmittance shows obvious(about more than 10%)when the bandpass filters transit from room temperature to cryogenic temperature. The fastness of both the Ge-based and sapphire-based MWIR band-pass filters have never been damaged at cryogenic temperature for no more than 300min.

Abstract:
A ray tracing model of multiple optical feedback with asymmetric plane-concave cavity was presented. With this model, the generation mechanism of highresolution fringes in single frequency laser multiple feedback was elaborated. Also, the affecting factors of fringe-shape were analyzed, including tilted angle, curvature, reflectivity of feedback mirror and length of external cavity. In addition, the effective feedback order and coupling efficiency of feedback beams with different tilted angles were obtained. Theory analysis and experimental results show that the high-resolution feedback fringes without envelopment can be obtained when the tilted angle is 1.7. In particular, the resolution of feedback fringes can be /50, which is very important to explore high-precision displacement measurement system.

Abstract:
A chirped dielectric multilayer mirror pair with controlled dispersion in the wavelength range 600 nm~1100 nm with 825 nm centre wavelength was designed and fabricated. The group delay dispersion of the mirror pair is about -100 fs2. The reflectivity of the mirror is 99% and the theoretical group delay dispersion ripple is less than 50 fs2 in the working spectral range. The mirror pair was used to compensate the 10.3 fs ultra-short pulse passed through 0.5 mm lithium triborate (LBO) crystal and the frequency-resolved optical gating technique was used to measure pulse,then the 10.3 fs pulse was broadened to 39.6 fs due to the dispersion of LBO crystal.Experimental results show that the full width at half summit is 11.6fs after one bounce dispersion compensation of the chirped mirror pair;and the broaden pulse is compressed to 10.7 fs by using two bounces dispersion compensation.

Abstract:
A novel method to measure the cladding thickness of side-polished fiber (SPF) was demonstrated by using the digital holographic imaging technology. Using angular spectrum method and accurate least-squares phase unwrapping method,SPFs distribution of phase was reconstructed. Based on the reconstructed distribution of phase, the cladding thickness of SPF could be directly measured. Compared to the results measured by scanning electron microscope (SEM), the relative error is less than 0.5%. This is a non-destructive, real-time and direct measurement, it can reduce the errors due to fibers asymmetries and edge diffraction. This method could also be used to measure other special optical fibers such as photonic crystal fiber and nano-fiber.
