Abstract:
In three-dimensional measurement system based on structured light, the grating fringe cycle is broadened on the reference surface with the reason of the oblique-angle, which brings errors to the measurement and reduces the accuracy. At the same time, because of large objects' geometry and morphology and other factors, as well as the limit of the intersecting axis projection system, the single shape measuring range is limited. It is difficult to measure large objects' complete shape in one time. And when measuring large objects, camera lens' nonlinear distortion also affects the measurement accuracy. According to the periodic pattern of grating stripes on the reference plane, a well-fitted, convenient and quick stripe cycle correction method was proposed. Based on the cycle correction method, a theoretical model of four-step phase shift method was put up, and then a theoretical model of time phase unwrapping based on fringe period correction was proposed. After that, the lens distortion correction model was used to improve the measurement accuracy. With the mark points pasted on the surface of objects, the three-dimensional coordinates of them were got, as well as the transformation matrix by using the singular value decomposition (SVD) and Levenberg-Marquardt (L-M) optimization algorithm, and three-dimensional image mosaic was realized under the global coordinate system. Finally, the linear weighting algorithm was used to realize the image fusion of overlapping areas. Experimental results show that the registration errors in x, y, z axes are 0.14 mm, 0.16 mm, and 0.19 mm respectively, which all meet the requirements.

Abstract:
Calibration of the system parameters is the basis of three-dimensional measurement system of the structured light, and accuracy of parameter calibration directly affects accuracy of the measurement, in which the projector still has the problems of complex calibration process and low precision. In order to solve this problem, a calibration method is put forward, which is done by projecting circles pattern to a flat with circular signalized points. Based on projective transformation theory, projective corresponding relation is established between projector image coordinates and camera image coordinates through error compensation method, and accurate projector image coordinates of calibration points is obtained. Taking two groups of image coordinates and world coordinates as initial value, nonlinear algorithm is used to optimize the whole system parameters. Experimental results show that the maximum error of the system is less than 0.05 mm and the error root mean square is less than 0.03 mm. The results show that the calibration process is simple and can improve the calibration accuracy and has wide applicability.

Abstract:
In order to study the image distortion and blurring caused by the heat source interference, the level of distortion, blurring and total similarity for the heat source axial displacement imaging were evaluated through using the feature points' average distortion displacement, peak signal to noise ratio, mean squared error and cross correlation coefficient. Furthermore, the correlative discipline between thermal disturbance imaging changes and heat source axial position was gained. Experiment shows that for the heat source axially moving between imaging system and imaging target, the level of distortion, blurring and imaging fault will be worse as the heat source comes closer to the imaging system, and the maximum average distortion displacement is 2.765 3 mm at D=300 mm; as the heat source comes closer to the imaging target, the level of distortion, blurring and imaging fault will be better, and the average distortion displacement decreases to 0.810 2 mm at D=0 mm.

Abstract:
At present, with the structural complexity and performance requirements of military optical lenses increasing, the defects of great errors and inconsistency in the conventional adjustment methods become more and more obvious. Therefore, a precise axis centering calibration technology for optical lens was proposed, in order to providing support for advanced optical systems. First of all, the error sources affecting the quality of optical lens were analyzed. Second, the manufacturing chain principle with data feedback closed-loop was proposed, and the entire optical system development links were combined together into a closed loop. Then, aiming at the shortcomings of the existing adjustment methods, a precise calibration method of lens group axis taken centering process as the core was put forward through ensuring both the center deviation and the optical spacing. Its optical-mechanical axis consistency reaches the second level and the dimensional accuracy reaches the micron level. Finally, a set of optical lens was designed and developed using this technique. Compared with the traditional lens, the focal length error increases from 1% to 0.1% and the resolution from 2.3" to 2.04".

Abstract:
To analyze the effect of stray light on infrared imaging system comprehensively, a common aperture imaging optical system was designed for both visible band(0.4 μm~0.7 μm) and infrared band(3 μm~5 μm) while the field of view is 2.27°×2.27°. By analyzing the stray light source, the effect of in-band stray light and off-band stray light on imaging quality of infrared channel was studied respectively. The structure of the hybrid light was designed for in-band stray light and the suppression capability was simulated and analyzed by FRED optical software. According to the result, the in-band stray light can be suppressed well, the ghost impact is negligible, and the point sources transmittance (PST) of solar stray light suppression level reaches the set threshold level of 10-8. For off-band stray light, the influence of 1.064 μm and 2.6 μm infrared laser on infrared imaging system was mainly studied by finite element method. Results show that the in-band infrared radiation can be generated strong when the temperature of system mirror rises to 703 K and the radiation power to the image plane reaches 0.069 mW, which can cause strong noise interference on the infrared imaging surface.

Abstract:
The models of the spinning and non-spinning space debris were established, the velocity variation of the space debris ablating by space-based laser was analyzed, and the orbit maneuver of the space debris irradiating by laser was modeled and investigated. The variations of the perigee and apogee altitudes in different locations of the space debris orbit under the irradiation of high-energy pulse laser were simulated and analyzed, and the debris removal efficiency by using laser in different irradiation angles was analyzed relatively. The simulation results show that, there is an optimal action area of removal of space debris using space-based laser. The initial true anomaly of debris for most effective de-orbiting effect is around 120° and 240°. The angle of laser irradiating debris has a great influence on removal efficiency. The removal efficiency of laser irradiating debris in different angles has the symmetry relative to the elliptical axis of debris orbit.

Abstract:
Aiming at the applying demand of airborne laser ranging and laser indication, a compact and reliable electro-optical Q-switched laser was designed.Based on the rate equation with Q-switched, the relationship that the laser output energy increased with the increasing optimization parameter z and the pulse width decreases with increasing z was analyzed. The Nd:YAG laser crystal of ø6.5mm×56 mm, LD side pump, u model of folded cavity which applied cube-corner prism for folding the light, was used as the resonator cavity. The anti-misalignment ability of resonator cavity can be improved under the premise of gain satisfaction. Under the condition of 1.2 J implanted electrical pulse, the energy output of laser single pulse is 108 mJ, the pulse width is 11.8 ns, the energy instability is less than 0.8% and the light efficiency is 18%, which can be stably operated for a long time.

Abstract:
Based on the saturable absorption characteristics of WS2, passively Q-switching and passively Q-switched mode locking operations of a side-pumped Nd:YAG solid-state laser were experimentally demonstrated in a self-designed Z-type four-mirror cavity structure. The Q-switching operation started under the pump current of 9.5 A and turned into a stable operation under more than 9.8 A. When the pump current was 12.8 A, the maximum average output power was 466 mW, the narrowest pulse width was 3.205 μs, the repetition frequency was 71.70 KHz, corresponding to the maximum pulse energy of 6.5 μJ.When the pump current was 13.4 A, a passively Q-switched mode locking operation was obtained. The maximum output power of passively Q-switched mode locking was 590 mW, the repetition rate of Q-switched pulse was 71.98 KHz, and the corresponding repetition rate of pulse train under single Q-switched pulse envelope was 123.1 MHz, and each Q-switched envelope contained 369 pulses with the single pulse energy of 22.2 n.The results show that the WS2 material can act as the absorber for solid-state lasers.

Abstract:
Aiming at the problem that the system structure of optical fiber transmission scheme of commonly used Cameralink video signal is too complicated, an optical fiber transmission scheme of the Cameralink video signal based on MAX9249 / MAX9268 was proposed.At the transmitting end, the Cameralink video signal was deserialized, encoded and serialized by using MAX9249 to obtain the optical module driving signal CML. At the receiving end, the CML signal was deserialized, decoded and serialized by using MAX9268 to obtain the Cameralink video signal, and the design and selection of optical transceiver module were detailed described.Finally, the oscilloscope was used to capture the eye diagrams of high-speed serial signals at transmitting end and receiving end. The eye diagrams of high-speed serial signals at transmitting end and receiving end are relatively clear and the eye opening degree is large. The Q factor at the transmitting end is 24.46, meeting the requirement of greater than 12 at transmitting end, while it is 8.13 at the receiving end, meeting the requirement of greater than 6. In addition, the real-time pictures acquired by the computer acquisition end has no obvious visible pixel noises after 10 minutes transmission, which proves the feasibility and effectiveness of the transmission scheme.

Abstract:
Backscatter noise is one of the main noises in resonator fiber optic gyro(RFOG). Based on the principle for reducing the backscatter noise by carrier suppression method, the mathematical model was established for the influence of temperature and voltage on the gyro bias. It is theoretically proved that this method is largely affected by temperature and has higher circuit requirements. A new scheme of RFOG based on three-mode differential technology was put forward. In this scheme, the backscatter noise is decreased by operating three beams with large frequency intervals in the resonant cavity. A comparative experiment was conducted with traditional two-mode closed-loop gyro. The results show that the new scheme can effectively minimize the gyro noise, and both the maximum gyro bias and bias stability are improved by around 4 times.

Abstract:
Based on the principle of Mach-Zehnder and Sagnac hybrid interferometer, the simulated experiment of urban gas pipeline leakage monitoring was carried out using distributed optical fiber sensor. Firstly, the method of wavelet packet energy spectrum extraction and the absolute distance method were combined to process the interference signals caused by pipeline leakage when measuring optic fiber length are 4 km and 6 km. Then the gas pipeline leakage was located according with the frequency spectrograms. Finally, the false alarm rate(FAR) of the distributed optical fiber system was analyzed.The results show that the FAR of proposed method reduces by 8.475%, compared with the traditional zero frequency spectrum localization method, it can more accurately identify the gas pipeline leak or not, thereby enhancing the reliability of system monitoring and positioning.
