The mathematical model of scanning state was constructed, the algorithm for optimizing control parameters to maximize scanning width of EO based on platform parameters was proposed, the rationality of the algorithm was analyzed by example data, and the real-time performance of the algorithm was measured. The technical status of forward-ground wide-area scanning was tested by simulation and flight test. The results show that the control parameters obtained by the proposed algorithm are optimal, it takes less than 40 ms to run on the target embedded platform and can optimize online in real-time. The proposed scanning technology can still achieve forward-ground continuous coverage under certain platform disturbances, and the overlapping rate of the field of view (FOV) is variable during scanning. The closer to the scanning edge area, the smaller the overlapping range of adjacent FOV. The scanning range should select the area sandwiched between the scanning control points at both ends of transverse direction to avoid leakage due to small overlapping rate in scanning edge area..

Therefore, the optical system of staStar sensor provides high-accuracy attitude information to satellite. With the continuous development of satellite internet platform technology in the national defense and civil fields, the star sensor is required to develop towards the small volume, light weight and high precision. Therefore, the optical system of star sensor should be designed in accordance with the application requirements. The relationship between color temperature and irradiance of sixth-magnitude star in the same integral band was established by using blackbody radiation law, thus confirming the effective aperture. Based on the Gaussian model of star point, it was proposed to realize the small aperture and high sensitivity detection by increasing the energy concentration of the optical system. The working field of view of star sensor was determined on the basis of Monte Carlo method. The technology requirements of stray light suppression was confirmed according to sensitivity. The optical system was designed based on the above mentioned verification results. The energy concentration of 3 pixels×3 pixels is better than 95%. In the range of ?40 ℃ to 60 ℃, the centroid shift of star point is less than 0.40 μm. At the stray light suppression angle of 32°, the extinction ratio of the system is 3.0E-8. In the last part, the rationality of the optical system design was verified through the accuracy calibration of centroid in laboratory, test of accuracy and sensitivity in out-field stargazing, and stray light test. The test results show that the calibration accuracy of the star sensor is 1.45″, the accuracy of out-field stargazing is 4.2″ (3σ), the limiting sensitivity is 6.04 magnitude star, and the mean value of the gray level of stray light background is 36.51..

The optimization results show that the stiffness is higher while the primary mirror and the fourth mirror are connected through ribbed plate arranged radially around the optical axis. The optimal size parameters for the primary-fourth and ribbed plate were obtained by free size optimization. Based on the optimization results, the primary-fourth double-sided integrated mirror was designed, and the lightweight rate achieved 82.4% by using the final solution.

The analysis results show that the optimized mirror body has sufficient stiffness and good resistance to the deformation under gravity. The mirror was processed and tested according to the final design, and the measured results show that the RMS of primary-fourth mirror surface shapes are both about λ/7, which meets the needs for the performance of infrared optical systems, proves the effectiveness of this topology optimization design method, and provides some references for the optimization design of double-sided integrated mirrors..

However, the Micro-LED with a large luminous angle, the collimating lens with a small size and high image quality, and the low optical efficiency at the edge of the field of view (FOV) and nonuniform illumination by vignetting of the collimating lens pose challenges for the design of AR optical systems. To solve these problems, a collimating lens was designed with high uniformity of illumination and high optical efficiency of the edge field of view for the diffraction grating waveguide by adding the calculated aspherical field lens. Then, by analyzing the theory in detail, its surface shape parameters were solved, and the lens with relatively uniform illumination was designed. The new collimating lens had a diagonal FOV of 41.2°, an F/# (F#) of 1.87, and a modulation transfer function greater than 0.5 at 125 lp/mm. The simulation results show that the illumination uniformity is relatively improved by 14%, and the optical efficiency of the edge FOV is relatively increased by 15%. The lens has good imaging performance, and can be applied in the ultra-small AR diffraction grating waveguide head-mounted display system..

The resonant frequency of the elastic-optic crystal and the vibration frequency of the piezoelectric actuators were calculated theoretically. When the two frequencies were consistent, the PEM worked in the resonant state, and the modulation efficiency of PEM reached the highest. When the PEM reached the resonant state and tended to be stable, the amplitude and phase of the driving voltage of the two piezoelectric actuators were adjusted to achieve two special modulation modes of pure standing wave mode and pure traveling wave mode. The pure standing wave mode could realize the delay and azimuth of the modulated fast axis under pure electric control, and the pure traveling wave mode could realize the high-speed rotation of the modulated fast axis under pure electric control at the half-frequency speed of the PEM resonant frequency. Finally, the COMSOL finite element simulation was used to simulate the two modulation modes of PEM, and the vibration mode and fast axis direction of PEM in two modulation states were verified. It shows that the PEM can realize multifunctional elastic-optic modulation, which provides theoretical support for the subsequent field of light polarization..

An improved UNet3+-Avg structure and attention mechanism was introduced by the network, and the multi-scale dense feature extraction module as well as the residual attention recovery module were designed.

Different from the traditional generative adversarial network, a dual discriminator approach was adopted to discriminate the saliency regions in the source images and the fusion images respectively in this algorithm, and the saliency regions of the two source images were used as the input of the discriminator so that the fusion image retained more salient features. The gradient constraint was introduced into its loss function so that the salient contrast and rich texture information could retain in the fusion image. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms other comparison algorithms in four evaluation indexes: entropy (EN), mean gradient (MG), spatial frequency (SF) and edge intensity (EI). This study achieves efficient fusion of infrared images and visible images, which is expected to gain applications in fields such as target recognition..

The iterative wavefront In the measurement of radial shearing interference, the center-offset between beam expansion and beam shrinkage situation is a frequent event. In the case, the traditional wavefront reconstruction algorithms will introduce large reconstruction errors, and their applications are also challenged. The iterative wavefront reconstruction algorithm for center-offset radial shearing interference was derived. Through theoretical simulation, the influences of combined aberration, single-order Zernike aberrations, center offset and its calculation errors on reconstruction algorithms were analyzed. The results show that the proposed algorithm can accurately reconstruct the wavefront phase in the case of center offset between shearing beams, and its reconstruction accuracy is significantly better than that of traditional algorithm. Under the simulation conditions, the root mean square (RMS) value of wavefront error of the proposed reconstruction algorithm is not higher than 0.05 λ with the increase of center offset. However, the reconstruction error of traditional algorithm reaches 1.6 λ (RMS value) and is approximately linearly related to the center offset..

Existing iterative control algorithms for hyperparameter setting generally use the traversal method, which is easy to understand and implement, but is computationally intensive and time-consuming, and may also miss the global optimum because of finding a local optimum. A Bayesian optimization method was adopted for selecting hyperparameters suitable for iterative control algorithms of adaptive optics systems. The commonly-used stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm (SPGD), Momentum-SPGD and CoolMomentum-SPGD control algorithms were used as examples to compare and analyze the calibration effects of control algorithms using the traversal method and Bayesian optimization method to select hyperparameters, respectively. The results show that the advantages of using Bayesian optimization method for hyperparameter selection were obvious. For the SPGD control algorithm, the number of sample instances required for the Bayesian optimization method is 10% of that for the traversal method when the same convergence effect is achieved, and for the Momentum-SPGD and CoolMomentum-SPGD control algorithms, the number of sample instances required for the Bayesian optimization method is 7% and 9% of that for the traversal method, respectively. The above findings can provide a theoretical basis for hyperparameter setting in the practical application of iterative control algorithms for adaptive optical systems..

The traditional optical gas detection method needs to convert the time domain signal to frequency domain signal to obtain the concentration of gas, which will introduce errors in the conversion process and cannot accurately reflect the change of frequency with time, resulting in the gas concentration cannot be accurateThe traditional optical gas detection method needs to convert the time domain signal to frequency domain signal to obtain the concentration of gas, which will introduce errors in the conversion process and cannot accurately reflect the change of frequency with time, resulting in the gas concentration cannot be accurately calibrated. A detection method based on frequency domain absorption peaks to calibrate gas concentration was proposed. Taking CO2 as an example for detection, the concentration of CO2 in the mixed gas of CO2 and N2 was determined by using the direct absorption method based on the Beer-Lambert law. This method obtained the peak intensity of the absorption spectrum by collecting the light intensity and frequency information of the laser beam and performing the Lorentz fitting by the adjacent averaging method and Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) optimization algorithm. The experimental results show that the linear relationship between laser peak intensity and gas concentration is satisfied, and the Pearson correlation coefficient can reach 0.999. Therefore, the detection method based on the frequency domain absorption peak calibration of gas concentration can effectively simplify the system structure, avoid the effect of frequency drift in the time domain to frequency domain conversion, and make the linearity between laser peak intensity and gas concentration good..

By utilising the concepts of laser triangulation and leveraging the geometric features of measuring light pathways, a high-precision elevation measurement system was built. This technique employed a physical horizontal reference. Within a Lambertian scattering light field, an analysis was done to determine the influence of tilt angle modifications on the centroid displacement of laser energy. An related error correction model was built, which permitted tilt angle error compensation for elevation data by the use of a tilt angle sensor. Additionally, an autonomously constructed calibration platform was deployed for verification studies targeted at calibrating the suggested elevation measuring system. The findings demonstrate that the proposed combined elevation measurement method achieves a repeatable measurement error within a fluctuation range of ±20 μm across a 500 mm measurement range. Compared to the measurement methodology of single laser displacement sensor, the combined elevation measurement method greatly reduces the fluctuation of measurement errors. It is capable of supporting precise measurements of spatial coordinate points in any orientation and effectively boosting the performance of laser displacement sensors in the area of elevation measurement, consequently giving more genuine and effective measurement results..

Response to this problem, a new design method based on lens-eye joint model for single vision lens was proposed. According to the new design method, the variational visual angles were matched to different areas of lens, and the constant perceived diopter on the corneal surface was set as precondition. The diopter on the lens surface was recomputed, and finally the diopter distribution and the corresponding surface shape data were obtained. Based on the proposed design method, the diopter of ?6.00 D actually felt on the corneal surface was taken as an example to generate surface shape data for lens manufacturing, and the surface shape and diopter of the manufactured lens were measured and evaluated. The test results show that the central diopter of the manufactured lens is ?6.30 D, the diopter values gradually vary from the center to the edge of the manufactured lens, and the maximum diopter error is smaller than ±0.23 D, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed designed method..

The effects of the period of one sided DBR medium and the refractive index of the defect layer on the transmission spectrum were analyzed by using the transfer matrix method, and the structure of the narrow-band filter was optimized. The unit structure of the narrow-band filter was built by Comsol Multiphysics software for simulation, and the influence of the metasurface and the incident angle on the filtering characteristics of the narrow-band filter was studied. The simulation results show that the central wavelength of the narrow-band filter can be tuned by adjusting the edge length of the metasurface, and a transmission band with narrow bandwidth and high transmittance can be obtained in the red light band from 634 nm to 714 nm. The central wavelength of each channel can be adjusted. By adjusting the side length of the metasurface, the narrow-band filtering of multiple spectral channels can be achieved. The changes in the small angle range (0°~10°) of the incident light have little effect on the filtering performance. The results provide a new idea for the design of multi-channel narrow-band filters..

The existing light source in the laboratory cannot meet the uniformity and stability at the same time. Therefore, it was proposed to obtain a highly uniform and stable surface light source through galvanometer scanning. Firstly, the two-dimensional laser scanning mode was established, and the optical system with fast scanning galvanometer and off-axis mirror as the core was designed. Secondly, according to the galvanometer scanning system, the driver was established, the control software was developed, and three scanning paths were designed. Finally, the appropriate scanning path was selected for experimental verification and its uniformity and stability was tested. The experimental results show that the non-uniformity of the scanning spot of the galvanometer is better than ±1%, the divergence angle is less than ±0.26°, and the stability of the light source is better than 0.02%. The feasibility of the laser galvanometer scanning light source as the irradiance calibration light source of the absolute radiometer is verified, which provides key technical support and experimental basis for achieving high-precision solar irradiance calibration..

In order to obtain the consistent relativeLaser particle size analyzer has been widely used in the measurement of particle size distribution in various fields due to its advantages of fast speed and non-contact. However, the relationship between the angular distribution of scattered light and particle size is complex. In order to obtain the consistent relative accuracy under different particle sizes, the measurement range of particle size distribution will be small and cannot meet the requirements of wide distribution particle size measurement. According to the Fresnel principle of Mie scattering approximation, it was proposed to use the catadioptric optical path. The particle scattering signal was divided into two beams by the splitter, and the transmitted as well as reflected scattering signals were collected by two sets of compound lenses and two photodetectors, respectively. The combined signal was inversed to obtain the particle size distribution, thereby improving the range of particle size measurement. Two kinds of standard particles and their mixtures were used in the experiment. The results show that the relative error of the volume median diameter D50 measured by a single standard particle is not greater than 7.9%, and the correct peak distribution can also be obtained for mixed particles..

The optParticle velocity is an important parameter for analyzing the propagation law of stress waves in a solid medium. Combining the laser Doppler effect and an all-fiber interferometric velocimetry system, a measurement method of stress wave particle velocity in solid medium based on fiber coated probe was proposed. The optical fiber coated probe was embedded in the polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) at the same radius from the burst center, and the miniature explosive ball with 0.125 g TNT equivalent was used as the explosion source to fill in the center cavity and generate stress wave. Based on the time-frequency analysis method of the short-time Fourier transform, the velocity of the optical fiber end surface could be calculated from the collected signal, and then the medium particle velocity could be deduced. The experimental results show that the velocity of the data measured by different fiber coated probes is 22.648 m/s and 23.505 m/s, respectively. The relative difference between the resulting particle velocity and the data obtained by the traditional circular electromagnetic particle speedometer method is less than 5.00%, which indicates the feasibility of the proposed method..

In the production stage, the optical fiber was embedded in the composite core of multi-strand carbon fiber cable as a sensor. According to the principle of BOTDR technology and optic time domain reflectometer (OTDR) technology, a distributed sensing system for the detection of the hidden defects of carbon fiber cable was constructed. The hidden defects and position distribution of carbon fiber cable were analyzed in a multi-dimensional way by using the high-precision sensing of the optical fiber on temperature, stress and propagation loss, which realized hidden defect identification of optical cable. The Morlet wavelet was used to demodulate Brillouin scattering signal, extract envelope information and remove signal noise. Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm was used to fit Brillouin scattering spectrum data, accurately estimate the optimal Brillouin frequency shift parameter, and improve the overall defect recognition accuracy. The experimental results show that this method can accurately characterize the hidden defects of optical cable, realize the fast and effective identification of hidden defects of multi-strand carbon fiber cable, and promote the better application of carbon fiber cable in capacity expansion, large span and other projects..
