Abstract(3117) PDF 1121KB(1090)
Abstract:
The influence of vibration angles and vibration angle velocities caused by the dynamic imbalance disturbing torques of a rotor for the Single Gimbal Control Moment Gyro on the TDI CCD camera imaging is analyzed. By coordinate transformation, the disturbance torque is transformed from a rotor coordinate to a satellite coordinate, and then satellite attitude dynamics equations are used to calculate the vibration angular displacements and vibration velocities of stars in an image motion compensation model of the TDI CCD camera. TDI CCD camera simulation system with the material point corresponding to imaging point model is used to analyze the imaging MTF and mutual correlation similarity measure. Experiments show that when SGCMG rotor speed rotates at 3 000 r/min, the MTF horizontal shift is 0.997 and mutual correlation similarity measure is 0.996 1; When SGCMG rotor speed rotates at 6 000 r/min, the MTF horizontal shift is 0.928 3, mutual correlation similarity measure is 0.974 8. The results prove that the quality of TDI CCD scanning images is terribly influenced by vibration angles and angle velocities caused by the dynamic imbalance of the SGCMG rotor. It must carry a damping when the SGCMG is used.

Abstract(3594) PDF 796KB(1178)
Abstract:
An optical system for Fizeau-type synthetic aperture telescopes is designed by using three subapertures with small diameters to obtain the high resolution of an equivalent large aperture. First, considering both u-v covering of sparse frequency and structure simpleness, the Golay-3 array is choosen to be the subaperture arrangement and the filling factor F is 0.44. Then, according to the character of optical system configuration, the optical system is divided into the subapertures, ray controller and the ray combiner to be designed, respectively. The configuration of afocal subaperture is Cassegrain type with achromatic double lenses rearward, and its pupil diameter, Field of View(FOV) and angle magnification are 300 mm, 0.2 and 10, respectively. Moreover, the ray combiner is composed of 5 pieces of glass including high refractive index glass and special partial dispersion glass, and its focal length is 600 mm, F-number and FOV are 6 and 2. The Point Spread Function(PSF) and Modulation Transfer Function(MTF) of the subaperture are analysed, and the results show that the equivalent diameter of total system is 1.89 times that of the subaperture, and the angular resolution of total system is 0.24.

Abstract:
In consideration of the defects of traditional condenser systems in low condensing rates, high costs and complex structures, high-power solar condensers were studied and designed. Based on the advantages of Cassegrain structure in high light gathering and beam coupling, a new type of high-power solar condenser was designed, and the optical design software ZEMAX was used to simulate the structure in different incident angles. The simulation results show that the Cassegrain structure eliminates the impact of spherical aberration. When arrival angle of sunshine is 0.5?, a concentration ratio of 544 and an optical efficiency of 84.835% can be obtained. Compared with traditional condenser systems, this device has a simple structure, high optical efficiency and a low cost. It has opened up a new path for the commercialization of solar condensers.

Abstract(3039) PDF 940KB(906)
Abstract:
Due to the large numbers of lenses, it is impossible for the complex refractive system to use a compensator only to compensate the corresponding misalignment. Based on the aided alignment technology, this paper proposed a method to reduce the range of compensator selection by building a sensitivity matrix and finding the internal relations between decenter disalignments and tip/tilt ones. Then, a method by using only four compensators to compensate the whole optical system was proposed by analyzing the sensitivities of misalignments, and the feasibility of the selected compensators was proved by a simulation. After finishing assembling of the whole optical system, the tested wave front errors were induced into the sensitivity matrix in the form of 36 items of Fringe Zernike polynomials to calculate the values and the moving directions of compensators driven by precision actuators. The test results show that the wave front errors(RMS) have reduced to 25.993 nm from 50.864 nm, which is better than the qualifications and proves that the selected four compensators are right and effective.

Abstract(4021) PDF 829KB(992)
Abstract:
The diaphragm structure in a lithographic projection objective is designed depending on the character demand for large adjustable ranges, small installing spaces and high adjustable precision, and the iris diaphragm has an aperture of 236 mm and adjustable precision of NA?0.003. The parameters of the iris piece are calculated in detail and the size of part is acquired. Then, the part of gear is used to reduce the mass and motion friction of the motion structure and the strength of parts such as the rivet and gears is checked to ensure the adjustable precision and material stress of the diaphragm. It is shown that the stress of all of key parts of the diaphragm meets the requirement of the system and the nature frequency of the diaphragm is no dense frequency phenomenon. These results prove the rationality of the proposed structure.

Abstract(3609) PDF 942KB(883)
Abstract:
To speed up the convergence rate of Stochastic Parallel Gradient Descent(SPGD) algorithm that was used to control a deformable mirror for wavefront shaping and to enhance the capability of real-time wave-front shaping, a simulation model was established by using wave-front distortion described by 12 Zernike polynomials and a 32-unit deformable mirror. Two constant matrixes were obtained with the orthogonality of Zernike polynomials in a unit circle, which simplizes computations and speeds up the running time of the algorithm. After 660 iterations, the Strehl ratio is 0.8. Comparison results of 6 kinds of SPGD algorithms with Matlab7.8.0 show that indirect-fixed-bilateral SPGD algorithm can be used in the conditions of low Strehl ratio, and indirect-varied-bilateral SPGD algorithm can be used in the conditions of high Strehl ratio, which will speed up the convergence rate of SPGD algorithm and provide the theoretical guidance for laser shaping.

Abstract(3228) PDF 738KB(844)
Abstract:
The Electromagnetically Induced Transparency(EIT) in crystals doped with rare-earth ions was researched. By taking a Er3+: YAG crystal for a sample, the probe field absorption as a function of the concentration of Er3+ ions was calculated by using density matrix equations in rotating-wave approximation. It indicates that when the detuning of the probe field p is 0, the transparency window of a probe field is generated, which demonstrates the feasibility to achieve the EIT in crystals doped with rare-earth ions. Furthermore, an excitation scheme for Pr3+: Y2SiO5 was performed, and it experimentally exhibits that when the temperature is 6 K, a 100% transparency window in the resonant absorption peak is formed in the absorption spectrum of Pr3+: Y2SiO5, and the EIT phenomenon in crystals doped with rare-earth ions is realized. In addition, the dependence of temperature and coupling field detuning on the EIT was presented. It is found that when the temperature increases to 15 K, the transparency window disappears, while the detuning of coupling field becomes larger and the transparency window gets smaller.

The dimension of the pattern can be adjusted from 101-103 m and the area of whole pattern can be an order of magnitude in millimetre or centimetre. It demonstrates that the unique performance is from the competition of the bending of skin and the compressing of bulk in the PEGDA hydrogel film.
