2017, 38(1): 19-23. doi: 10.5768/JAO201738.0101004
Abstract:
Image quality of large aperture infrared optical system is easily suffered from ambient temperature and deadweight, which can be solved by infrared adaptive system. Infrared adaptive optical system based on Hartmann-Shack wave-front sensor is designed in this paper. Large aperture telescope engaged in dual waveband such as middle-infrared wavelength and visual wavelength is designed to have 10× collimation with optical configuration of reflective Cassegrain objective lens group and multispectral achromatic refractive eyepiece lens group. Relay infrared objective lens is designed to compensate aberration of infrared telescope. Reimaging optics is chosen in such a way to minimize objective lens while maintaining 100% cold shield efficiency. Thus MTF of dual-waveband optical system for IR adaptive system can approach diffraction limit(more than 0.5). Image quality can meet technical requirements.

2017, 38(1): 72-77. doi: 10.5768/JAO201738.0103003
Abstract:
The range finder and position shift observation based on laser interfering has been widely applied with the tendency of portability, intellection and integration. However, the present laser interfering devices for distance measurements are mostly based on Michelson interferometer. The interfering information is processed in the spatial domain. Sometimes the signal is probably influenced by the turbulence and the vibration introduced by large industrial equipment. Therefore, a kind of new measurement based on laser heterodyne interfering was proposed, which could transfer the signal process to the time domain in this article. In this system frequency-modulated laser beam was split into two interferometers. The detector received the beat signal and averaged the signal at the time domain and the computer demodulated the signal in the frequency domain. The testing results appeared as good robustness, and the testing error could be controlled within 0.01 mm.

Abstract:
In order to study effects of micro-grinding parameters on flatness of optical fiber lens and reduce flatness error of optical fiber lens in micro-grinding, a group of orthogonal experiments of micro-grinding 30° oblique fiber lens on a single fiber with 125 μm diameter are carried out in this paper. Based on grinding forces model of micro-grinding and elastic beam deformation theory of material mechanics, effect rule of micro-grinding parameters on flatness of optical fiber lens is analyzed. Theoretical analysis and experimental results show that overhang length of optical fiber has the greatest influence on flatness of oblique optical fiber lens, while increasing overhang length of optical fiber will result in a larger flatness error of oblique optical fiber lens and appropriate micro-grinding parameters can obtain smaller flatness error of oblique optical fiber lens.

Abstract:
Aiming at improving laser beam quality in designing high power end-pumped Nd:YAG laser, thermal lensing effect is employed to achieve high beam quality in Nd:YAG laserin this paper by placing two more Nd:YAG crystals with different doping concentrations in the resonator. Under action of pumping light, thermal lensing generated from the Nd:YAG crystal is used to shape special distribution of pump beam and fundamental mode beam. Tighter overlapping of both beams results in higher efficiency of pump power and better beam quality of laser. Experimental results show special distribution of pump beam and fundamental mode beam can be shaped by thermal lensing effectively under different pump power. Two beams are matched closely at pump power of 200 W, and M2 is improved from 14.7 to 4.1.

2017, 38(1): 126-130. doi: 10.5768/JAO201738.0107002
Abstract:
The demonstration effect is low in large conference center with multiple projector-screens, because there is no connection between the primary and secondary projector-screens, and the laser pointer on the primary screen could not been shown on the secondary screen. A demonstration method of laser pointer for multiple projection-screens based on camera is proposed in this paper. A connection between the primary projection and the computer screen is built by the camera, and then the point of the laser pointer on the primary projection can be transformed to the one on the computer screen. Based on this, the cursor can be moved and the secondary projection will have the same demonstration effect. The main steps include: (1) compute the homography matrix H between the primary projection and the computer screen by monochromatic projection. (2) extract the point of the laser pointer on the real-time captured image of primary projection. (3) calculate the indicating point on the computer screen base on homography matrix H and control the cursor move to there. Experiment shows that this method can calculate the position of the laser pointer on the computer screen with an error within 5 pixels and track the laser pointer on the secondary screen successfully. This method can both give an unlimited space to the demonstrator and a communication to all the audience.

Abstract:
According to the principle of evanescent wave, a humidity sensor based on optics in-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer was proposed by using the standard single mode fiber with two waist-enlarged bitapers, and the center of sensing arm was tapered by adiabatic flam-heated fiber tapering machine. The light propagates from the input end of the sensor, the first bitaper excites a number of higher-order modes, each mode transmits through tapered fiber and into the second bitaper, which can be coupled into the output fiber of the sensor. The change of the humidity can lead to the evanescent field of the tapered fiber changing, eventually causes the energy of the transmission spectrum energy to change.
