Firstly, a 5×5 view light-field was reconstructed according to the compressed sensing reconstruction algorithm, and the refocusing was realized by moving the sub-aperture after obtaining the field data. Then, the initial depth and confidence of the scene were calculated by using the defocused response cues and correspondence response of angular patch. Finally, the image edge information was calculated, and the final depth was obtained by fusing the initial depth, confidence and edge information.

ZHANG Hongfei, SU Bo, HE Jingsuo, and ZHANG Cunlin
Ultra-fast terahertz time-domain spectroscopy(THz-TDS) system operates based on the principle of high-speed asynchronous optical sampling. The system uses two femtosecond oscillators whose repetition frequencies can vary around 1 GHz, and uses a high-bandwidth feedback circuit to control the repetition frequencies. TheUltra-fast terahertz time-domain spectroscopy(THz-TDS) system operates based on the principle of high-speed asynchronous optical sampling. The system uses two femtosecond oscillators whose repetition frequencies can vary around 1 GHz, and uses a high-bandwidth feedback circuit to control the repetition frequencies. There is a difference of Δf in the repetition frequency between two femtosecond oscillators. One femtosecond oscillator has a repetition frequency of 1G+Δf Hz, which is the pump pulse; the other has a repetition frequency of 1G Hz, which provides the time difference between the pump pulse and the probe pulse, and the time delay varies periodically with the scanning cycle. The period can be given by 1/Δf. This system abandons the mechanical delay line necessary for the traditional THz-TDS system and uses double-photon detector to generate trigger signal. When the frequency difference between the two femtosecond laser oscillators is 1 kHz, a THz spectrum can be detected in only 1 ms, and a THz signal with a dynamic range of 21 dB and a spectral resolution of 5 GHz can be obtained in 10.3 s. Hence it can be characterized by fast detection speed and high resolution. It has incomparable advantages over the traditional THz-TDS system in the application environment that requires rapid measurement..

In the primary reflection type laser screen velocity measuring technique, the scattering angle of the laser beam generated by the semiconductor laser source makes the thickness of the emergent optic screen inconsistent, and the residual divergence angle of the reflected optic screen generated by the primary reflective In the primary reflection type laser screen velocity measuring technique, the scattering angle of the laser beam generated by the semiconductor laser source makes the thickness of the emergent optic screen inconsistent, and the residual divergence angle of the reflected optic screen generated by the primary reflective screen makes the thickness of the reflected optic screen inconsistent, the two aspects from which lead to the problem that the projectile passing through different positions of the optic screen to trigger the response time of the optic screen inconsistent. According to the geometrical optics principle, the mathematical model of the sagittal and meridional directions of the semiconductor laser was established, and the aspherical collimating lens groups with different surface figures were designed, the size of the exit spot was controlled within 1 mm and the divergence angles of the meridional and sagittal directions were 0.13 mrad and 0.46 mrad, respectively. After the exit beam was one-dimensionally expanded by the Powell lens, a fan-shaped exit light screen with a thickness of 1 mm and a uniformity of 85.7% was formed. And after the original reflection, the effective thickness of the reflected light curtain was effectively controlled to 1 mm with the slit aperture. Moreover, the Zemax software was used to simulate the projectile passing throuth the screen. When the projectile did not block the system laser screen, the detector received the original reflected light intensity of 1.54 mW; when the projectile blocked the system laser screen, the detector received the original reflected light intensity of 1.03 mW; when the projectile was close to the side edge of the exit laser screen (ie, 1 mm from the screen edge ), the light intensity received by the projectile trigger detector respectively at 100 mm, 300 mm, and 500 mm from the light source was all 1.54 mW. Obviously, there is no change in light intensity relative to the absence of the projectile blocking laser screen, which proves that the effective detectable optic screen thickness of the system is consistent and 1 mm. This result indicates that the research scheme is feasible..

The working principle of the system is that, first the monochromatic image light wave information emitted by the micro-display passes through the collimating lens, then the image light wave information is coupled from one end of the planar glass and coupled to the other end by in-coupled volume holographic grating and out-coupled linear grating, and finally enters the human eye at the exit pupil position. Its characteristics of the holographic grating were introduced. The angle of view of the holographic grating was deduced theoretically using the coupled wave theory and the K-vector closed legitimate, and the design method of the holographic grating was introduced at the same time. The method divides the laser into object light wave and reference light wave by beam splitter, and realizes interference on the holographic plate according to a certain angle of incidence. The final simulation results show that the system displays a field of view angle of 18°×14°, an exit pupil distance of 30mm, and the modulation transfer functions (MTFs) are all above 0.3 at 30lp/mm, which satisfies the requirements of the visual system and can be applied to a new generation of helmet display systems..

Firstly, the prediction area is constructed according to the course overlap rate, and the feature points detected in the area are described by multi-feature. Then, the hash functions are learned by tens of thousands of existing aerial images. Finally, the high-dimensional feature description vectors are mapped to compact binary hash codes by the learned hash functions. Fast hashing matching is achieved according to the Hamming distance in the Hamming space. Experiments show that compared to the classical speeded up robust features (SURF) algorithm, accuracy is improved about 10%, meanwhile, the matching time is decreased 0.2s. The proposed LMFH algorithm for aerial images matching is much more efficient..

The traditional temporal phase unwrapping algorithm generally requires additional fringe information to determine the fringe order, which leads to the excessive number of fringe patterns.A fast phase unwrapping algorithm for three-dimensional (3D) measurement is proposed. Only N-step standard phase-shifting sinusoidal fringe patterns are needed to calculate the absolute phase. Firstly, the standard phase-shifting algorithm is used to calculate the wrapped phase and the mask to eliminate the background. Then, the wrapped phase and mask are used to solve the fringe level according to the connected component labeling theorem, and then the absolute phase is obtained. The proposed method needs a minimum of three fringe patterns to complete the 3D measurement, and the data processing speed is fast. Computer simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method..

The ion beam etching characteristics of fused quartz optical components were studied by radio frequency(RF) ion source, the precise removal function was calculated and obtained by using ZYGO interferometer, and the influences of the plasma source operational parameters such as work gas mass flow rate, screen voltage, incidence angle of ion beam and work distance on the material removal function of fused quarts were investigated. Furthermore, the relative change rates of the material peak removal rate, the full-width-at-half-maximum (FWHM) of peak and the material volume removal rate were measured and calculated when individual work parameter was perturbed. The experiment results show that the variation of removal functions varies slightly with the gas mass flow rate under the same work vacuum pressure. It is found that the relative errors of the removal function′s peak removal efficiency, the FWHM and the volume removal efficiency can all controlled in 5% when the screen voltage fluctuation is ±5 V, the incidence angle deviation of ion beam is ±1° and the work distance deviation is ±0.5 mm, respectively. Hence the removal function of IBF for fused quartz by using RF focusing ion source has better certainty and stability..

The advanFemto-second laser has an important application prospect in the fields of laser fusion, satellite precision ranging, laser micromachining , etc. And it is the main pump source of terahertz(THz) wave. The principles of the measurement methods of femto-second laser pulse width and pulse waveform are introduced. The advantages and disadvantages of the measurement methods of autocorrrelation (AC), frequency-resolved optical gating (FROG), and spectral phase interferometry for direct electric-field reconstruction (SPIDER) are presented. The AC is characterized by wide range of pulse width measurement and compact structure, however it does not have the ability of pulse waveform measurement. The SPIDER requires high quality of input laser beam and it is not suitable for fast measurement of laser pulse width in a large range. In order to meet the test requirements of ultra-short laser pulse width and pulse waveform in the range of 10 fs to 5 ps, a femto-second laser pulse width and pulse waveform measurement device was developed by using AC and FROG methods, and the time resolution is better than 2 fs..

The objective is a relatively large-aperture ball lens collecting the wide-angle target light and imaging it onto an intermediate image surface which is spherical and concentric with the ball lens. The intermediate images are then corrected for aberration and imaged onto the detector array by a small-diameter lens group array which work as the eyepiece and are spherically symmetric about the center of the ball lens. A comparison of imaging performance is presented between the system using concentric double ball lenses and the system using single ball lens as the objective, respectively. The latter has even better imaging performance and avoids the problems of tolerancing, mechanical and thermal instability of the cemented ball lenses. The designed full field of view is over 100° while the angular resolution is higher than 10″and the distortion is less than 5% in the full field. The system has a large depth of field. Targets from 300 m away to infinite can be simultaneously imaged without focus adjustment. It can be widely used in the field of surveillance..

It was determined that the most suitable rectangular compound parabolic parameters were as follows: the half width of light outlet of 50 mm, the max half angle of the inlet light of 47.73°, the truncated cup body length of 36 mm. Results show that in terms of illumination, the rectangular compound paraboloid satisfies the requirements for illumination and uniformity of national standard A and AA; in terms of low light collection, with the aid of the rectangular composite parabolic concentrator, the illumination of the solar chip position is 1.25 times higher than that without concentrator; in concentrating mode, the photovoltaic conversion efficiency of the solar chip is 1.66 times of that in non-concentrating mode. This is a complement to the current solar energy collection methods in the market, which are non-concentrated mode..

To achieve simultIn order to improve the quality of low-light-level(LLL) imaging and achieve the requirement for real-time imaging for dynamic targets or changing scenes, a LLL polarization real-time imaging optical system was designed based on the polarization imaging principle and the division of aperture technique. To achieve simultaneously polarization imaging, the optical system uses an array of common-caliber four-channel configuration. This structure divides four polarization states to be measured into four independent imaging channels, and four-quadrant segmentation imaging is performed on the target surface of the detector through a sub-aperture imaging group set. Each polarized channel obtains an intensity image with different polarization states by placing polarizing plates with different polarization states. The focal length of the optical system is 100 mm, the system whole F number is 1.2, the operating wavelength is 0.4 μm～0.85 μm, the minimum working illumination is 1×10-3 lx, and the 1 080 pixel full high-definition (HD image) can be outputted. The total optical length of the system is 167.5 mm, and the modulation transfer function (MTF) value of the single-channel is higher than 0.57 at 40 lp/mm in full field of view..

The thin film optical tapered grating with anti-reflection characteristics in visible light was designed based on the finite difference time domain method. A tapered grating having a height of 1.6 μm and a period of 4.1 μm was prepared in the SiNx film by single point diamond turning technology, combined with nanoimprint lithography and inductively coupled plasma etching, In the visible band, the SiNx thin film optical tapered grating had an average reflectance of 5.7%, and the experimental results of the reflectance were highly consistent with the simulation results; when the incident angle was within 30°, the anti-reflection characteristic of the thin-film optical tapered grating exhibited an insensitivity to the incident angle of the light waves. It is indicated that the preparation process breaks through the material limitations of the single point diamond turning technology, it can extend the direct formation process of the continuous contour microstructure into the dielectric thin film, and can achieve the anti-reflection of wide spectrum and wide angle..

Firstly, the digital camera was used to acquire the light spot from the experimental device. Then, the regional averaging method was used to detect the uniformity of the image, and the uniformities of the whole area and each small area were calculated to get the area with the best image uniformity. At the same time, the concept of uniform depth was introduced as a basis for judging the uniformity of the light source. The results show that the uniformity of the spot after adjustment reaches more than 99.7%. Through the comparison of the light spot obtained by the experimental apparatus before and after adjustment, and the comparing with the theoretical calculation of the optical fiber output spot distribution, the validity of the method can be verified..
