Then the process of electrons interacting with coating material of X-ray focusing optics and the quantum efficiency of X-ray source by using a Monte Carlo N Particle transport code was analysized. Simulation results accord well with the analyze results. Finally, a silicon drift detector, which has an energy resolution of 125 eV was used to analysis the energy spectrum in the focal point. In the detecting part, X-ray photons are composed of two parts, signal photons generated by the X-ray source and noisy X-ray photons generated from nested X-ray focusing optics′ coating material. According to different conditions of X-ray source and electron gun voltage, the number of signal photon, noisy photon and signal to noise ratio of the X-ray communication demonstration system then can be calculated. Experiment and calculate results show that nested X-ray focusing optics can effectively filter spatial particles, which will optimize the signal to noise ratio of X-ray communication system. When the number of incident electrons is about 1×108 counts per second with an energy distribution from 1~20 keV, signal to noise ratio of the X-ray communication demonstration system can reach at least 15.1 dB. These results will provide foundations for optimizing the core parameters of X-ray communication system in the future..

The shortcomings of the traditional light-sectioning method were analyzed and the error of the scratches measurement on the curved surface was modeled and simulated. The results of the analysis and the simulation show that the error of the scratches on the curved surface varies with the radius of curvature and the width of the scratches using traditional light-sectioning method. The precision parts with different radius were selected in the experiment and the scratches on the curved surface were measured. Comparing with the large error of the conventional light-sectioning method, the accuracy of the results measured by this new method is higher when the radius of curvature is smaller and the width of the scratch is larger. The error of measurement less than 1mm can be reduced by this new method when the radius of curvature is less than 10 mm and the scratch width is greater than 283 mm. This method can be applied to the depth measurement of scratches on the curved surface of the precision instrument..

In this method, the spectral transmission at the measurement point was calculated by measuring the spectral signal of light source and transmitted light with a spectrometer. By adjusting the displacement platform, the spectral transmission at different positions was measured.Then the spectral characteristic parameters of LVF was obtained by data processing. The theoretical formula for measuring the spectral transmittance was deduced.The simulation results show that the accuracy of this method decreases as the linear dispersion increases. When the linear dispersion is less than 1.5 nm·mm-1, the errors of the measured center transmission and bandwidth are less than 0.4%.

It has the characteristics of refocus and multi-view, which can be used for vision measurement. In this paper, the measurement principle and error influence factors of epipolar plane image (EPI), refocus-based, binocular and trinocular measurement methods were analyzed. The relationship between the measurement errors and the structural parameters, including the baseline length of different views, the focal length of the main lens and the actual distance of the target from the camera, were verified by experiments. Theoretical analysis and experiment results show that, due to the short baseline of the camera, the distance measurement errors are large, and short distance is of high precision; under the condition of fixed size of microlens array, the multi-view combination measurement method has higher accuracy..

Through this method both the stress and the cracks in AlN films were greatly suppressed. The monolayer hBN material was treated with artificial surface chemical modification to increase the defects in hBN and the nucleation sites for the subsequent AlN growth. We analyzed the quality of AlN materials with/without the hBN nucleation layer. The results show the hBN layer can help decrease the cracks, air voids and stress in AlN films. Meanwhile, the impacts of different V/III ratios on the surface morphology, the crystal quality and the stress in AlN films were studied. An optimized V/III-ratio range was obtained. Under the optimized growth condition, the stress in the AlN layer with the hBN nucleation layer can be eliminated completely, and the crystal quality of the AlN films with a hBN nucleation layer was comparable with that of AlN directly grown on sapphire..

The relation of space position of sampling points between the DOE surface and the receiving surface is studied. The forward and inverse diffraction calculation methods without far-field and paraxial approximation are used.

The transmittance of prisms made of different kinds of polymers and their distortion were numerically simulated. Simulation results showed that polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) had a larger Abbe coefficient and a lower material absorption rate than polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Then, on the basis of the simulation, stamps for the prisms were machined using the diamond-cutting method; the surface roughness of the stamps reached class 14. We verified that low-cost prisms can be fabricated from PMMA using the thermopressing method under the conditions of 180 ℃ and 130 kg/cm2. A system was constructed to test the prism diopter (PD) values of the samples. Experimental results showed that the deviations between the calculated and actual PD values for 10Δ (low PD), 20Δ (medium PD), and 30Δ (high PD) prisms were 0.01Δ, 0.04Δ, and 0.02Δ, respectively. The PD deviations of the sample prisms all agreed with the Chinese tolerance standard for a medical prism. Hence, we verified that the rigid prisms fabricated in this study are sufficiently precise to reflect light and are a high-quality, low-cost solution for the treatment of strabismus in children..

In this paper, the influence of positive charges which accumulate on inner channel wall was added to a electron cloud motion model. It is the main difference between the MCP model in a saturated and a non-saturated mode. The kinetic characteristics of the electron clouds were calculated and analyzed. Simulation results show that the Energy Distributions Of Electrons (EDOEs), in a saturated mode, have a similar shape for MCPs with different electrode penetrate depth. This is very different from the results obtained in a non-saturated case. It is concluded that these phenomena come from the accumulation of positive charges near the exit of the channel. The EDOEs fit well with the experimental data of related literature, which verifies the correctness of this model..

Oxide-aperature-diameter dependent analysis of RIN for high-speed, energy-efficient Vertical-Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) have been performed. Small oxide-aperture diameter VCSELs are prefered for low energy consumption data transmission. We demonstrate that energy efficiency is not in conflict with our VCSEOxide-aperature-diameter dependent analysis of RIN for high-speed, energy-efficient Vertical-Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) have been performed. Small oxide-aperture diameter VCSELs are prefered for low energy consumption data transmission. We demonstrate that energy efficiency is not in conflict with our VCSELs′ RIN characteristics. The experimental results indicate that small oxide-aperture diameter VCSELs, which are the most suitable for energy-efficient, temperature-stable operation, exhibit lower laser RIN due to less mode competition inside the smaller optical cavity volume. Our energy-efficient VCSELs fulfill the RIN requirements of the 32G Fibre Channel standard. These devices are advantageous for future high performance computer applications..

In this model, the optical generated current in UTC-HPT was introduced reasonably as part of base current. The influence of single carrier transportation in UTC-DHPT on photo transconductance, emitter junction effective resistor, emitter junction capacitor, and collector junction capacitor were analyzed. Based on the established small signal equivalent model, the dependence of optical characteristic frequency and the optical generated current gain on optical window area and illumination light power of an InP-based UTC-DHPT were analyzed. At certain illumination light power, there is an optimum window area which can achieve the maximum optical characteristic frequency. Meanwhile, the optimum window area would change in certain range as illumination light power increasing. When chosen the optical injection window of 8×8 μm2, With the gradual increase of illumination light power, the characteristic frequency increases at first and then decreases, the highest value reaches 150 GHz at 280 μW. The gain of optical generated current increases gradually too and reaches the saturation gain of 82 dB under 750 μW..

The vDue to the uneven distribution of atmospheric aerosol, the detection performance of Satellite Laser Ranging in atmospheric aerosol is researched based on the Slanting Transmission Model of the laser transmitted in atmospheric aerosol. The distribution of aerosol is divided into horizontal and vertical directions. The vertical direction is divided into infinite layers and the horizontal direction of each layer is regarded as the uniform distribution. Combining the scattering cross section and the scale distribution function of the aerosol particles, calculates the transmittance of the laser in each layer of aerosol, and integrals the atmospheric transmission of the laser finally. Compared with the empirical formula and Mie theory model, the transmittance value of laser in atmospheric aerosol calculated by Slanting Transmission Model is closer to the experimental value and the average of relative errors is only 3.5%, reducing by an order of magnitude, which indicates that the Slanting Transmission Model is suitable for calculating the relationship between the laser transmittance in aerosol, aerosol visibility, and telescope elevation. Combined with the lidar formula, the Slanting Transmission Model is used to simulate the satellite detection probability of different orbital in aerosol, the results demonstrate that the detection probability of MEO and LEO satellites are more than 40%, but the GEO satellites is only 15%. And the Satellite Laser Ranging in light haze can be realized by the detector with high detection efficiency and the laser with high power. The results can give a reasonable interpretation for the previous experiment reports and show a certain reference value to the upgrading of SLR system in the future..

Due to the geometrical invariability, the standard sphere was used as measuring basis. The surface data of blades were measured by four-coordinate measuring machine with line-scanning laser sensor, which can ensure the measuring efficiency of blades and take the control accuracy of the measuring machine into account. Firstly, the point cloud data of the turbine blade were obtained. Then some pre-processing operations, such as error compensation, de-noising and data reduction, were performed before the matching operations. Finally, the Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines curve fitting algorithm was utilized to get the characteristic curve of blade surface. The experimental results indicated that the method can effectively improve the reconstruction accuracy of the blade leading and trailing edge and provide more accurate raw data for the 3D modeling of the blade..

The emitting wavenumber range of the ICL is from 2 998.4 to 2 999.6 cm-1, which covers a strong CH4 absorption line at 2 999.06 cm-1. In order to enhance CH4 absorption, a multi-pass gas cell with a volume of 220 mL, optical path length of 54.6 m was employed. A LabVIEW platform as well as a Data Acquisition Card (DAQ) was used to generate the scan and modulation signal of the ICL and extract the second harmonic signal from the detector output signal. Experimental results showed that when the averaging sampling time was 3.3 s, the Allan deviation of the sensor system was 11.2 ppbv. This sensor system was used to measure the atmospheric CH4 inside and outside the laboratory for a long time, and it is proved to be of great practical value in engineering..
