Abstract:
Image field rotation can occur during the process of nearinfrared camera vertical imaging in optoelectronic stabilized platform in helicopter. In order to eliminate the image field rotation and satisfy the requirements of carrier aircraft space size, the cantilever structure azimuthgimbal was introduced, and the threedimensional model of the azimuthgimbal was established. In order to analyze the rationality of the cantilever structure, the finite element model was established to carry out its static analysis and modal analysis separately. Results show that in load case of 24.5 kg, the maximum deformation is 0.025 4 mm, which meets the requirements of the pointing error distribution; and the first natural frequency is 42.99Hz, which meets the servo bandwidths requirements.

Xray imaging system based on spherically bent crystal is an important diagnostic technique for inertial confinement fusion (ICF). To testify the performance of the imaging system and optimize the structure of imaging system, the backlighting imaging system was studied by the ray tracing software SHADOW. Through the analysis for the system parametes, such as the position of object, the radius and Bragg angle, the results showed that for the spherical surface crystal back light imaging systems with Bragg angle of 57 and 65 ,when the object thickness or object laying aside error was a=1 mm, the crystal bevelling radius error was R=3 mm, and the Bragg angle error =0.1 mrad, the relative magnification of the 2 imaging systems simulated on the meridian plane and the sagittal plane through light tracing ,tailled with the computation result by relative magnification formula comparison.It is implied that the parameters have a little influence on the relative magnification of the imaging system, and the performance of imaging system is stable and reliable.

Abstract:
Aiming at the aluminum alloy material,a largeaperture primary mirror of infrared camera was designed with the mirror aperture of 420 mm. Starting from the diameterthickness ratio, the number of the support points and the lightweight structural form, a structure of open back, triangle lightweight construction and back threepoint support was designed. Dynamic stiffness of the mirror and surface shape change under the weight and temperature loads were analyzed by the finite analysis software. The results show that the natural frequency of the mirror is enough, which has a sufficiently high dynamic stiffness. Both surface accuracy RMS of the mirror(30 nm,0.2 nm) have reached the index requirements of the optical system(/10,=632.8 nm) under gravity and a uniform temperature drop of -40℃,which provides a theoretical basis for the design of infrared aluminum mirror.

Abstract:
The thermal element model of fiber coil was built based on the discrete mathematics formulae of the Shupe error in the fiber optic gyroscope (FOG). The transient thermal behavior and the steadystate thermal behavior were analyzed by this element model. According to these results, the reasons how the asymmetrical temperature field have an impact on bias error were found. The optimized structure of FOG shell, which has an inner of magnetically soft alloy and a outer of ultralumin , was designed, based on the analysis and emulation of the temperature field to decrease temperature grads of coil. The optimized thickness of the inner is 0.8 mm. The optimized thickness of the outer is 1.5 mm. It can improve the thermal symmetry of the fiber ring. The temperature changes of coil decreases by 1.8 ℃, and the difference in temperature of coil decreases by 0.68 ℃ in the temperaturefall period by experiments. Compared with the results of the experimentation, we approved the redesigned structure which can improve the temperature distributing and reduce the temperature spatiotemporal change rate of FOG coil.

Abstract:
It is one of the important tasks in machine vision field to detect specific object using single image. A machine learning approach using latent support vector machine(LSVM) classifier was presented for detecting humankind shape object. The histogram of oriented gradients(HOG) features were extracted and the corresponding deformable parts were formed to describe the appearance of the object. The problem that the objects appearance deformed when it was in motion, was solved. 200 images captured in typical public areas were randomly selected and used to perform this method. 1 100 humankind shape objects from them were tested, and the correct recognition rate of 78.3% was achieved. The experimental results show that this approach is able to detect humankind shapes and mark them out which demonstrate its feasibility and stability;however,misdetection can happen when the humankind shape object is partly covered.

Abstract:
To solve the drogue tracking problem during the capture phase of autonomous aerial refueling, a trackinglearningdetection (TLD) algorithm was proposed. The algorithm decomposes the drogue tracking task into 3 subtasks: tracking, learning and detection. The tracking component is based on the LucasKanade (LK) method extended with failure detection and chooses tracking points with good performance to track the refueling drogue; and the detector constructs cascaded classifier to sort the picture patches scanned by scanningwindow and returns patches containing object, which integrates with tracking component result and gives final tracking result; and then the PN constraints are introduced into the learning component to correct wrong samples and then learn and update the detector. A scene simulation for aerial refueling was developed based on Creator/Vega Prime. The experimental results of the test on the video of scene simulation show that the success rate of tracking drogue is 95.5%, the average time consumption is about 31.4 ms, and the algorithm can meet well requirements of drogue tracking, such as robustness, precision and real time performance.

Abstract:
A new method depending on weighed least square was proposed, aiming at the shortcomings of the existing interferogram calibration method. It used the edge information differences between standard parts edges and fringes edges, then extracted the target edges by using appropriate mask, and finally used the weighed least square way to position the edge more exactly. The new method can figure out the real length of each pixel finally depending on the standard parts known size. The experiments show that this method costs half time than Hough transform, and the positioning accuracy is less than 1 pixel. It can calibrate each type of interferogram well with strong practicability.

Abstract:
The signal collected by using the spectrometer is inevitably affected by different noise sources. In order to increase the analytical accuracy of spectrum signal, an improved denoising method with threshold was presented by analyzing the principle of applying the wavelet to signal denoising and the defects existed in classical denoising methods by using soft and hard thresholds. The improved method can overcome both the defects,that the hard threshold method generates discontinuities and the soft threshold method generates a constant variation, and can retain the useful signals as much as possible. In experiment, the SymletsA wavelet was selected as the wavelet function with 4 series, through combining with the perlevel threshold determined by the BirgeMassart tactics pattern,the denoising process was conducted for the fluorescence spectrum signal of CdSe quantum dots . Simulation results demonstrate that the rebuilt signal by the improved denoising method with threshold can has a increased signaltonoise ratio(SNR=47.550 2) and a energy accounting(PER=0.973 3), as well as an improved mean squared error(MSE=149.421 3) compared with the classical denoising methods by using soft and hard thresholds.

Abstract:
Equipment surface defect detection is very important for ensuring safety production and avoiding economic losses. Aiming at the algorithm complexity problem of defect detection and 3D reconstruction for dispersed 3D points on the equipment surface, a new method was proposed. All the points were divided into different layers along to the axis, then the points on the layer were moved to the middle plane of the layer. The distribution of the points became regularly and the defect detection and 3D reconstruction were done by the points regularized. The dispersed points defects detection and 3D reconstructions were fulfilled and the error of the defection detection is 1.01%. Experimental results show that this defection detection method proposed is simple and easy to implement after the dispersed points are regularized.

Abstract:
In order to make sure of adequate lighting for the driver of the vehicle, and prevent the opposite driver from glare, an automotive dipped headlamp system with a cutoff line was designed. A dipped headlamp according to GB259912010 light distribution standard (automotive headlamps with LED light sources/or LED modules) was designed with highpower LED and free form reflectors (FFRs) which had simple structure and high optical efficiency. Based on the nonimaging optics theory, the correspondence between the angle of the light reflected by the freeform reflector and the coordinates of point in the target plane was established. The freeform lens point coordinates were calculated according to the correspondence of reflection and refraction laws. To achieve light distribution requirement, the fundamental surfaces were divided legitimately and the surface profile data of subsurfaces were optimized and adjusted. The function of dipped headlamp was realized by 3 LEDs, each of which had its own independent optical system. The test results show that the optical system has a clear cutoff line, with the efficiency reaching 54%, which can fully meet the requirements of the illumination of regulation on each test point.

For the problem about the design of ultra wideangle photographic objective,an ultra wideangle photographic objective was designed with ZEMAX optical software. The design was carried out by limiting the basic parameters and dimensions of lens with various operations and by selecting the appropriate rear group. The former group structure was designed by using the three inverse Galileo systems. The former group and the rear group were mixed together and the overall initial structure was further optimizd. The optical system is composed of 16 pieces of spherical lenses applicable within the visible light region. The main optical parameters are as follows:the focal length is 6.2 mm,the full field of view(FOV) is 100,the F number is 2.1. From the result we can see that the absolute value of maximum distortion of FOV lens is less than 3.5%,the maximum field curve is less than 0.05 mm,the modulation transfer function (MTF) of the whole field of view at 50 lp/mm is greater than 0.7,approaching to the diffraction limit.

Abstract:
For the problem of reducing the response time in air defense missile system, a micro electro mechanical system (MEMS) optical switch array was designed to control the signal transmission of subsystems in air defense missile system. The optical switch array which was constituted by 8 group double layer electrostatic comb structures,was used to control the On and Off state in every single subsystem. According to the LagrangeMaxwell equation, the electromechanical dynamics model was established, and the main parameters were confirmed including the mass, the elastic, the capacitance, the airfilm damp and so on. Then the parameters with genetic algorithm were optimized. The simulation result shows that the response time equals 0.627 ms, the steadystate displacement equals 4.724 m, the maximal displacement equals 6.801 m, the response time is one fourth of the original time. The result indicates that the MEMS optical switch array plays a role not only in reducing the response time, but also in ensuring the stability in air defense missile system.

The optical limiting effect of the graphene films in midinfrared band (3 m~5 m) was studied using nanosecond pulsed laser Zscan method . The Zscan curve obtained from the open aperture experiment showed a single valley structure, but the same structure did not show in the closedaperture Zscan curve. Through the fitting and calculation of the openaperture Zscan curve, the 3order nonlinear absorption coefficients and the optical limiting thresholds of 3 layers graphene were 11.3910-7cm/W, 10.6110-7cm/W, 9.7510-7cm/W, 8.8110-7 cm/W and 3.49 J/cm2, 3.75 J/cm2, 4.11 J/cm2, 4.55 J/cm2 at 3.010 m, 3.522 m, 4.326 m and 4.880 4 m, respectively.

Abstract:
Laser Brillouin scattering is the result of the inelastic light scattering from the medium density fluctuations. The shape of the Brillouin scattering spectrum is dependent on the gas pressure, temperature, and the scattering angle. An effective nonintrusive method for measuring the temperature and pressure in gas flow was provided. The measurement principle of the highvelocity gas flow parameters by using laser Brillouin scattering was reviewed. A measurement device based on the FabryPerot interferometer (FPI) was designed to measure the RayleighBrillouin spectrum of the gas flow, and the laser Brillouin scattering spectrum was obtained for a N2 gas flow. Experimental results show that the error of the pressure and temperature derived from the Brillouin scattering spectrum is less than 15% compared with the theory model.

Abstract:
In order to study the thermal effect of Yb∶YAG crystal endpumped by pulse laser diode(LD),the temperature distribution of crystal was calculated based on semianalytic method. The crystal thermal model was built under the real work situation and the initial conditions and boundary conditions were established in this research, according to the working characteristic of square Yb∶YAG micro crystal endpumped continuously by LD. Furthermore, considering the function relation between the coefficient of thermal conductivity and temperature and solving the heat conduction equation with Newton method, the temperature distribution was obtained. Finally, the influences of different factors such as the different pump power, super Gauss order, radius of spot, thickness of crystal on crystal were studied. The research results show that maximum temperature of Yb∶YAG crystal endpumped surface is 41.25 ℃ and 52.14 ℃,respectively, under the different conditions that thermalconductivity is constant and nonconstant. And in that case, the first order superGaussian light was used,with the output power of 80 W and the spot radius of 400 m, to pump the crystal with the mass fraction of 8% and the size of 431 mm3. It is very significant to reduce the thermal effect of full solid state Yb∶YAG crystal in this research.
