2015, 39(3): 289-294. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.03.001
Abstract:
In order to overcome the backwards, such as low contrast and strong interference fringes of the images captured by terahertz(THz) continuous wave imaging system based on backward wave oscillator, to detect target objects from background and avoid the disturbance of the irregular interference fringes, the cluster method based on C-means of fuzzy local information was used to target detection and the membership function was improved so that it was suitable to terahertz images. Experiment results show that the proposed clustering algorithm can detect target objects from terahertz images corrupted with irregular interference fringes and has better accuracy than the classic image clustering algorithm.

Abstract:
In order to reduce the impact of noise on laser optical experiments, a lock-in amplifier and an optical chopper were used. The laser was modulated at a specific frequency by the chopper and the frequency was sent to the lock-in amplifier as a reference signal. The useful signal was extracted with the lock-in amplifier based on the coherent detection method. In order to relieve the operator's labor during experiments, an automatic software system under LabVIEW software platform was developed to operate the experiments and record data automatically, which greatly simplified the operation process. The results show that measurement noise of this method reduced from 9.1% to 4.7% compared with laser intensity measurement with a power meter directly. The automatic software system saves more than 50% of time compared with manual recording of data.

Abstract:
In order to achieve non-destructively measurement of optical parameters of biological tissue, optical parameters of tissue simulation phantoms were measured in experiments based on CCD technology and least square support vector machine (LS-SVM). From the experiment, the diffuse reflectance distribution of tissue simulation phantoms was measured. The LS-SVM regression model between the optical parameters and the corresponding diffuse reflectance distribution was founded. The prediction average error of the optical parameters of the tissue simulation phantoms was only 5% under small sample conditions. The results show that combination of CCD measurement technology and LS-SVM can measure the optical parameters of tissue simulation phantom accurately.

Abstract:
For the purpose that a fiber sensor system of Brillouin optical time-domain analysis (BOTDA) needs two light sources of Brillouin frequency shift, a dual-channel light source system was proposed by employing Brillouin ring cavity frequency shift and electro-optic modulation. According to several parameters, pulse width, repetition frequency rate and step of frequency sweeping, the output light spectrum of dual-channel modulation was simulated. Based on field programmable gate array (FPGA) and direct digital synthesizer (DDS) chip, experimental system was setup and both pulse detect light and sweep frequency pulse light could be output from the setup. The minimum pulse width of the detection pulse was 10ns, and the sweep frequency range reached 0MHz~90MHz with a frequency sweep step of 30Hz and a time step of 1.6s. Experimental results show that the dual channel light source can meet the demands of general BOTDA systems, without the necessity of some high speed devices, such as high frequency microwave signal source. Signal acquisition modules can adopt regular photoelectric detectors below 100MHz so as to reduce the system cost.

The variation of laser energy distribution could be seen in simulated diagrams and the influence of beam expander on the final focal results was analyzed. The results show that the larger the amplification multiple of the beam expander the smaller the distance between the beam expander and the light source, and the higher the energy density on the focus spot. The simulation results also provide the basis for actual experiment system construction.

Abstract:
Plane target positioning is one of the important parts to process the data obtained by terrestrial laser scanner measurement. In order to reduce the influence on the accuracy of multiple-scan registration, coordinate system transformation and object aided location when extracting coordinates of the target centre, a new method was proposed based on the least square method, K-means clustering method and the reflection intensity at the scanning points. After theoretical analysis and experimental verification, the positioning data with high accuracy was achieved. There are four major steps to deal with the problem: firstly, to eliminate noise points by using the total least squares algorithm; secondly, to classify the region of scanning data based on the reflection intensity; thirdly, to extract the centre coordinates of each region by means of K-means clustering method; finally, to calculate the target centre coordinates according to the centre position each region. The results show that reliable positioning accuracy can be obtained at a certain distance by means of the proposed method. The deviation of the coordinates is in the order of sub-millimeters, and the distance deviation is also in the order of sub-millimeters. The research is helpful for coordinate extraction of plane target centers.

2015, 39(3): 361-365. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.03.018
Abstract:
In order to study the propagation characteristics of short laser pulses in partially stripped plasma, parameters evolution equation of short laser pulses in partially ionized plasma was derived using variational method. The effect parameters of wakefield, relativistic self-focusing and intensity of partially stripped plasma were analyzed. The coupled evolution equations of the laser spot size and the pulse length were derived and the propagation of a short laser pulse in partially stripped plasma was analyzed under the effects of transverse wakefield(TWF) and longitudinal wakefield(LWF). The results show that laser pulse can be allowed to propagate in patitally stripped plasma only when a certain condition is satisfied. The evolution of the pulse length should be considered in partially stripped plasma. When laser pulse and plasma density is constant, with the increasing of ionization degree, wakefield will enhance the self-focusing of the laser pulse further. Longitudinal wakefield has more obvious effect on self-focusing of laser pulse than transverse wakefield. The results may be significant theoretically to the mechanism of ionization-induced injection and acceleration by an intense laser pulse.

2015, 39(3): 381-385. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.03.022
Abstract:
In order to reduce the influence of noise on the detection results of hyperspectral anomaly detection and improve the rate of anomaly detection,a new anomaly detection process based on improved minimum noise fraction (MNF) transformation was proposed. Firstly, to improve the traditional MNF transform, the weighted neighborhood averaging method was used to estimate the noise matrix,a specific weight was given to each pixel of the neighbor matrix for increasing the portion of background pixels and suppressing the noise pixels in the sample matrix. It was an effective way to extract noise information by calculating the difference. Secondly, improved MNF transform was used to reduce the dimension of hyperspectral image data and to separate the noise from signals effectively.Finally, anomaly detection algorithm was implemented on low-dimensional denoised data. After actual test of AVIRIS data, the results show that the improved algorithm has better effect of reducing the dimension and separating the noise, and the rate of anomaly detection is improved significantly.

2015, 39(3): 391-394. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.03.024
Abstract:
In order to measure glass bubble size in real time, a dynamic system for measuring glass bubble was built in laboratory with a linear laser diode, a linear CCD and a movement control system based on the laser vision principle. The laser spot projected onto the glass surface was imaged on the photosensitive array of the camera through its zoom lens. Gray images of glass bubbles were grabbed by Sapera CamExpert software with the combination of the transverse scanning of the camera and the longitudinal scanning of the movement platform. The transverse and longitudinal precision of gray images was discussed in theory. The criterion for distinguishing the bubble images from distortion was confirmed and the matching relationship between the clock frequency of work pixels and the longitudinal velocity of the float glass was deduced. Bubble gray images were grabbed at the different longitudinal velocities. The transverse and longitudinal pixel number of glass bubbles was measured by the Sapera Architect. The transverse and longitudinal size of bubbles was acquired by theoretical calculation. Comparing with bubble size measured with a ruler, the relative error of the longitudinal size is 0.18 and of the transverse size is 0.05. The results show that in the case that camera work distance, focal length and pixel cell size are fixed, the transverse size of glass bubbles can be measured by this system in the range of permitted errors.

2015, 39(3): 395-398. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.03.025
Abstract:
In order to study periodic structures on Si surface induced by femtosecond laser, the relationship between the ripple period and the incident laser wavelength was analyzed. After theoretical analysis and experimental verification, the ripple period of monocrystalline silicon was calculated to be about 800nm. The ripple structures irradiated by 1kHz femtosecond pulses (center wavelength of 800nm, pulse width of 35fs) were studied. The results show that a set of liner ripple structure with parallel and equal spaces is found on the silicon surface irradiated by pulse laser under the condition that power density is slightly higher than damage threshold of the workpiece. The period of ripples is about 750nm by measurement, close to the center wavelength of laser. When the polarization direction of incident laser is changed by a rotatable Glan-Taylor prism, the direction of periodic ripples is changed accordingly. The direction of ripple is perpendicular to the electric vector direction of the femtosecond laser. The processing images show that the irradiated area is much cleaner than the non-irradiated area. The investigation is significant for further study of laser-induced periodic surface structures.

2015, 39(3): 399-404. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.03.026
Abstract:
In order to improve the surface property of H13 steel, Co42 anti-wear resistance coating was performed by laser cladding method on the surface of H13 steel. The dilution ratio, surface roughness, and the surface morphology of the samples obtained under different parameters were investigated. The proper parameters for laser cladding were as following: defocus value of 20mm, laser scan speed of 1.7mm/s, pulse width of 2.0ms, and pulse frequency of 30Hz. The microstructure of the coating was characterized as fine dendrites with a thickness of 230m. The microhardness presented a gradient decreased from the coating to the substrate. The microhardness in the coating was 650HV0.1, which was about 2.7 times of that of the substrate. The results show that the parameters including defocus value, laser scan speed, pulse frequency, and pulse width influence the above three properties of the coating. This result is helpful for improving friction stir welding technology.

2015, 39(3): 405-409. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2015.03.027
Abstract:
With continuous change of the incidence angle, the transmittance of a Glan-Foucault prism fluctuates a lot. In order to suppress such fluctuation, experiments were carried out for measurement of the transmittance of the Glan-Foucault prism based on a polarized light experimental system. The transmittance was simulated under the assumption that there was multiple beam interference between the prism air gaps. Simulation results and experimental results matched very well. The relative quantitative reason of the transmittance fluctuating with the incidence angle was put forward for the first time. Two methods were proposed to inhibit the fluctuation. The results showed that the reason of fluctuation is the strengthened or weakened multiple beam interference induced by the change of path difference of interference beam between the air gap with the rotation of the stepping motor with the prism as depolarizer. The fluctuations are stronger just because the transmitted beam for the Glan-Foucault prisms is s component on the incident plane which has greater reflectance. The study is helpful for suppressing the transmittance fluctuation of a Glan-Foucault prism.

In order to solve the undersampling problem of phase unwrapping caused by fast changing of phase, the theory of lateral shearing interferometry was introduced to build optical field and weighted discrete cosine transform was used to solve Poisson equation. On this basis, a new improved least square algorithm based on lateral shearing interferometry(LSBLS) algorithm was put forward. The specific phase unwrapping method was given based on theoretical analysis and the feasibility of the improved algorithm was proved after experimental verification. The results show that the improved algorithm can effectively avoid the undersampling problem caused by the fast changing of phase.

Abstract:
In order to improve the fusion quality of visible and infrared images, a fusion algorithm was put forward based on support value transform. At first, the visible and infrared images were transformed by support value. And then the low frequency coefficient was fused by using local energy ratio modulation weighted rule while the high frequency coefficient was fused by using local variance ratio weighted rule. Finally the fused image was obtained through the reconstruction algorithm and the fusion performance was gotten after theoretical analysis. The results show that, compared with wavelet transform, contourlet transform and the algorithm provided in the literature, the method improves the fine details, contained information and visual effect of the image significantly.

Abstract:
In order to solve the problem of signal-to-noise ratio decreasing with the decreasing of cavity length during the miniaturization of ring laser, narrow band filter was designed for suppressing the discharge glow of He-Ne gas without affecting on laser output. Based the unique step automatic coating design method of OpenFilters software and using the initial film thickness as the clue, a number of non-structured membrane structures were designed for the requirements of practical application of spectral characteristics. An optimized narrow band filter for crystal monitoring was selected under the consideration of layer number, thickness and stress. When s polarization light was incident from the air at angle of 45, the filter had peak transmittance of 99.9% at central wavelength of 632.8nm, full width at half maximum of 5.2nm and average transmittance at cutoff band of 1.35%. The results show that the filter can suppress the discharge glow of He-Ne gas effectively and improve the signal-to-noise ratio of miniaturized ring laser.
