    To solve the detection distance of infrared thermal imager, using MODTRAN program, the atmospheric spectral transmittance in different cloud and rain conditions was calculated. For detector anglefixed and heightfixed operating, using the spectrumpath bisection method and spectrumangle bisection method respectively, the thermal imaging system detection distances of point source target were evaluated. Under cirrus weather conditions, the effects of the detection probability, rainfall rate, cloud thickness and cloud base height on the atmospheric spectral transmittance and the detection distance were analyzed. The results show that the selection of detection probability of infrared thermal imaging system has a great influence on the detection distance. In the case of tank target, when the detection probability increases from 10% to 90%, the detection distance reduces by 21.7%. The rainfall rate also has a great influence on atmospheric transmittance and the detection distance. When the rainfall rate increases from 0 to 4.0 mm/h, the detection distance decreases by 76.8%. The effects of the cloud thickness and cloud base height are associated with the geometric position relationship between the detector and the cloud. The upper bound of the detection distance of human target is 5.60 km. The detection distance is also influenced by the detector operating model. The biggest difference is about 3.8%.

    According to semi-classical theory for random laser, the Maxwell equations with the rate equations of electronic population can be solved by Finite difference time domain method (FDTD). The saturation effects of quasi-state modes in 1-dimension random lasers were numerically investigated based on this theory. The spatial and frequency distributions of different quasi-state modes were obtained. The results show that some properties of quasi-state modes, such as localization, will influence the saturation effects of the random laser system. By investigating these effects, the best quasi-state mode with low threshold and high saturation intensity can be achieved as a steady system output through one single frequency pump.

    Aiming at the problem of lack of research on optimizing thermal condition of ultraviolet spectrometers, a Rowland circle spectrometer with a detection range of 200 nm~450 nm and a full-band resolution of no less than 0.2 nm was designed, and optimized the thermal conditions of its optical chamber by coupling optical, thermal and structural simulations. The thermal simulation results showed that the temperature and temperature difference of the spectrometer base was increased with time in the absence of heating and inlet wind speed, and it was difficult to achieve thermal balance. The inlet wind speed of optical chamber was optimized, and it was found that when that was 0.8 m/s, the overall temperature was dropped to 36.103 ℃~39.859 ℃. Based on the calculation of thermal deformation between optical devices, the intercept of total thermal deformation of several optical devices was 0.203 mm. After refining the heating method, the top-layer heating was found to be the best way, the overall temperature was dropped to 34.241 ℃~36.139 ℃, and the intercept of total thermal deformation was reduced to 0.122 mm. The optical simulation results show that the optimized Rowland circle spectrometer can still clearly distinguish the two beams with a wavelength difference of 0.2 nm after thermal deformation.

    A sliding mode dynamic surface control(SMDSC)strategy was proposed in order to solve the uncertain interference problem which may influence the tracking precision and the response time of the fast steering mirror (FSM)system, due to the external environment and the mechanical inertia and electromagnetic inertia of the voice coil actuator in the course of acquisition, tracking and pointing in FSM system. The controller introduces the tracking differentiator (TD) to instead the first-order filter in the traditional dynamic surface control, which improves the problem of unsatisfactory convergence speed and control precision of the first-order inertial link. Besides, the controller which combines sliding mode control with dynamic surface control further improves the anti-interference ability and tracking accuracy of the system. A large number of simulation studies show that, compared with the traditional dynamic surface control and classical proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control, the designed SMDSC increases by 62.5%, 75% respectively in the response time, 72%, 88% respectively in the adjustment time, and 75%, 96% respectively the tracking accuracy.

    In video-based vehicle monitoring systems, image noises seriously influenced the results of vehicle recognition, background learning, and so on. The existing filtering algorithms could not meet both the speed and filtering effect requirements of these systems. After comparing the effect and speed of vehicle recognition without filtering and with median filtering or mean filtering, the mean value filtering was selected for further study. By appropriately reducing the amount of calculation, the speed of the new filtering algorithm was increased through improving the processes of data accessing and calculating, and the algorithm was realized with Visual C++ 6.0. Experiment results show that the speed of the new algorithm is 55% faster than box filtering.

    The depth estimation of objects in the scene is a key issue in the field of the unmanned driving. The infrared images are helpful to solve the depth estimation problem under poor light conditions. Aiming at characteristics of unclear infrared images texture and insufficient edge information, a combination of attention mechanism and graph convolutional neural network was proposed to solve the problem of monocular infrared images depth estimation. First of all, in the depth estimation problem, the depth information of each pixel in the image was not only related to the depth information of its surrounding pixels, but also needed to consider the depth information of a larger range of other pixels. The attention mechanism could be effectively extract the pixel-level global depth information association of images. Secondly, the features obtained based on the depth information association could be considered as non-Euclidean data, and the graph convolutional neural network (GCN) was further used for reasoning. Finally, in the training phase, the continuous depth estimation regression problem was transformed into the classification problem, which made the training process more stable and reduced the learning difficulty of the network. The experimental results show that the proposed method has obtained good results on the infrared data set NUST-SR. When the threshold index is less than 1.253, the accuracy rate is improved by 1.2%, which is more advantageous than other methods.

    In view of heat dissipation existed in the high-power LED light, an optimization design was applied to the radiator of the high-power LED with a shroud under the air-cooling condition. A fluid analysis software was used to optimize the internal diameter and height of the shroud, the diameter of the inlet and the angle of the heat sink-s fins while the parameters of the fin structure were fixed. By changing these parameters, the parameters of the gas on the surface of the heat sink were changed in fluid shape and wind speed, and finally the convective heat transfer coefficient of the fin was changed. Through optimizing, a series of optimum parameters belonging to the shroud and the heat sink were obtained: the shroud-s height was 85mm, the inlet diameter was 76 mm, the outlet diameter was 83 mm and the angle of the heat sink was 9.It is concluded that the temperature of the heat sink has a certain degree of reduction after optimization, which can provide an optimized scheme for the cooling design of high-power LED lamps.

    According to noise characteristics of aerial image, this paper proposes a kind of wavelet transformation denosing method based on medium filtering for aerial image. The medium filter is applied to reduce image random noise, and wavelet transformation is made on filtered image. Compared to given threshold, the wavelet coefficients that could be judged as signal or noise obviously are processed, other coefficients are processed before running down in multi scale of wavelet. Experiments prove that this method improves image signal to noise ratio objectivley, and makes denoised image more clearly and suitable for human visual observation, which is good for analysis and judgement of aerial images.

    In order to study the problem of motion attitude of high-speed flying projectiles, a rotating mirror synchronization tracking technique is proposed. A rotating mirror is placed in the direction of the main optical axis of the high speed CCD camera. The motion of the projectile in the ballistic line is reflected to the high speed CCD camera to achieve synchronous tracking. A rotating mirror tracking system based on the midpoint of the field of view of the high-speed CCD camera is designed. In the system, the motion model of projectiles and rotating mirrors is set up, and the curves of time varying with the MATLAB software are obtained. When the parameters are H=300 m and V=100 m/s, the errors existing in the system are analyzed. The results show that the system can achieve synchronous tracking of high-speed projectiles.

    In order to realize the automatic focus of laser projection system, a laser dynamic focusing system was constructed. The system can adjust the mirror group spacing of the focusing system according to the change of the back-reflected light intensity signal, so that the laser scanning projection system can focus the minimum spot on the projection surface at different distances, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the system. Firstly, according to the principle of laser dynamic self-focusing system, two kinds of dynamic self-focusing schemes, optical lever type and inverted telephoto type, were designed and the corresponding mathematical models were derived; then, through the simulation of ZEMAX, two dynamic focusing systems were compared, and the self-focusing system with faster response speed and more reasonable structure was chosen; finally, a new self-focusing laser scanning projection system was set up, and the performance of dynamic focusing was verified. The experimental results show that the inverted telephoto type self-focusing system is more reasonable, at a projection surface of 4.5 m, the converging spot diameter is optimally up to 0.2 mm, which can improve the positioning accuracy of the laser scanning projector during auxiliary assembly to 0.1 mm. It can meet the precise positioning requirements of components in advanced manufacturing and assembly engineering.

    In order to detect [Ca2+]i, a novel monochromatic source for the fluorescent microscope was designed. The system uses a short-arc Xenon lamp as light source. All the light is converged to a point source by the elliptical mirror. The point source is coupled into an optical fiber to form the monochromatic light output after collimating, light splitting and focusing by the blazed grating. In the illumination and excitation system of the fluorescence microscope, the light power and spectral purity of a monochromatic source are the two technical essentials,in which the aspherical reflector is the priority in design. The energy efficiency of the whole system was analyzed and calculated according to the optimization algorithm and the optical simulation. The elliptical reflector for the monochromatic source system was designed, and the complete equipment was developed. The experiment result shows that the elliptical mirror works in the whole system perfectly.

    The design of a driver circuit for high-stability semiconductor laser is introduced. Its output current can be continuously adjusted from zero to two hundred milliamperes and its stability reaches 1.5×10-5. The variation of the output current is less than 1μA when its operation time is longer than 12h. The modulation of frequency and intensity of optical wave in the laser interferometry can be achieved by the modulated current (100kHz~300kHz) input, whose modulation depth is continuously adjustable from zero to one hundred milliampere. By applying the grating external cavity semiconductor laser and the auxiliary temperature-control current driven by the driver current to the interferometry, the laser output with stable power and single wavelength was obtained to eliminate the mode hopping phenomenon of lasers and to realize the longdistance measurement for small vibration.

    To enlarge the measurement range of a potential vision meter and improve its measurement accuracy for patients with high error of refraction, the imaging characteristics of its optical system were investigated. The visual magnification equation of the system was derived. The influence of the focal length variation of the collimating lens and the imaging lens on the magnification was analyzed respectively. The focus of the collimating lens has effects on the slope of the visual magnification curve while the focus of the imaging lens affects visual magnification of the whole moving range in the same way. With ideal parameters, the visual magnification can remain constant independent of the position of the vision pad in the moving range, and the system error can be removed. The optimum parameters for the meter were found by numerical analysis and the measurement scope of the system was expanded from -7D~+12D to -11D~+15D.
