  Abstract:The space solar observation equipment takes the spacecraft as the platform, and the vibration of spacecraft will have influence over the observation. Therefore, we need to develop the image stabilization system to ensure the imaging resolution. In this paper, a method for detecting the centroid deviation of solar facula is proposed. A photodiode-based deviation detector was designed based on the requirements of the image stabilization system for the Full-disc vector Magneto Graph. Compared with the traditional method of deviation detecting, it has faster response rate, lower power consumption. Backup design is added to improve the reliability of the work on orbit. According to the test results, a resolution of 5 μm is achieved within the working range. It can cooperate with the steering mirror mechanism to form the image stabilization system and serve the Full-disc vector Magneto Graph. © 2019 SPIE ·

  Abstract:The star map has the characteristics of large amount of data and wide angle of view. The star points are displayed as limited pixels on the image and easy to get disturbed by noise, so it is difficult to build a feature model to obtain the complete star map. In this paper, we have revised the OTSU algorithm and extracted the star points accurately according to the characteristics of star point pixels. We are inspired by the idea of compressed perception to break the local spatial relationship of stars, construct the aggregated star group model of relative relationship of local stars, realize the matching and construct the extended model to realize the stitching of wide angle star images. In order to meet the requirements of efficient transmission and storage in the air or on the ground, we have proposed the algorithm of star point storage and mapping. We set up a database with 600 frames of real star images from CCD camera and 600 frames of simulated star images, and the experiments show that our algorithm can compress the data and realize the star image stitching. © 2018, Springer-Verlag London Ltd., part of Springer Nature.

  Abstract:We derive the analytical expressions for the second-order moments of the Wigner distribution function of a J0-correlated Schell-model (JCSM) beam propagating in a turbulent atmosphere. With the help of the second-order moments, we explore the second-order statistical properties (i.e., the M2-factor, the effective radius of curvature and the Rayleigh range) of a JCSM beam propagating in a turbulent atmosphere for different turbulence parameters and beam parameters. It is found that the statistical properties of the JCSM beam are closely related to the initial beam parameters and turbulence parameters, and we can mitigate the negative effect of the turbulence by choosing suitable initial beam parameters. Our results will be useful for long distance free-space optical communications. © 2018 Elsevier Ltd

  Title:One-dimensional solitons in fractional Schrödinger equation with a spatially periodical modulated nonlinearity: Nonlinear lattice
  
  Author(s):Zeng, Liangwei(1,2); Zeng, Jianhua(1,2)
  Source: Optics Letters  Volume: 44  Issue: 11  DOI: 10.1364/OL.44.002661  Published: June 1, 2019  
  Abstract:The existence and stability of stable bright solitons in one-dimensional (1D) fractional media with a spatially periodical modulated Kerr nonlinearity (nonlinear lattice), supported by the recently introduced nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation, are demonstrated by means of the linear-stability analysis and in direct numerical simulations. Both 1D fundamental and multipole solitons (in forms of dipole and tripole ones) are found, which occupy one or three cells of the nonlinear lattice, respectively, depending on the soliton’s power. We find that the profiles of the predicted soliton families are impacted intensely by the Lévy index α, and so are their stability. The soliton families are stable if α exceeds a threshold value, below which the balance between fractional-order diffraction and the spatially modulated focusing nonlinearity will be broken. © 2019 Optical Society of America.

  Abstract:We demonstrate an 80-tap radio frequency (RF) transversal filter based on a 49GHz-spacing integrated micro-comb source. By employing a record 80 micro-comb lines, or taps, for the transversal filter, we achieve very high performance including a QRF factor more than four times higher than previous results. Our experimental results match well with theory, showing that our transversal filter is a competitive solution to implement advanced adaptive RF filters with high frequency selectivity and reconfigurability, and with potentially lower cost and footprint. This approach is promising for applications in modern radar and satellite communications systems. © 2019 SPIE.

  Title:Infrared and visible image fusion algorithm based on saliency detection and adaptive double-channel spiking cortical model

  Abstract:Based on the saliency detection which effectively extracts the saliency information of the image and the adaptive double-channel spiking cortical model (ADSCM) which has the advantages of global coupling, pulse synchronization, less parameters and high computational efficiency, which can well process information in dark areas, we proposed a new infrared and visible image fusion algorithm. Firstly, the infrared and visible images are decomposed into the base layer and the detail layers through the rolling guidance filter (RGF). Secondly, the base layer is fused with an improved saliency detection method, and the detail layers are fused by a directional gradient sum and an improved ADSCM. The experimental results show that the proposed method can also fully extract the target information of the infrared image while preserving the visible background information, in which the fusion effect is better than the traditional fusion algorithms. © 2019 Elsevier B.V.
