A mobile direct detection Doppler LIDAR based on molecular backscattering for measurement of wind in the stratosphere has been developed in Hefei, China. First, the principle of wind measurement with direct detection Doppler LIDAR is presented. Then the configuration of the LIDAR system is described. Finally, the primary experimental results are provided and analyzed. The results indicate that the detection range of the designed Doppler LIDAR reached 50 km altitude, and there is good consistency between the molecular Doppler wind LIDAR(DWL) and the wind profile radar(WPR) in the low troposphere.

We demonstrate a novel OFDR system with compactness and short measurement time based on the use of a wavelength-swept mode-locked fiber laser. The optical source uses an intra-cavity tunable Fabry-Perot filter as a tuning element. The fiber laser sweeps 20 nm in less than 10 ms. Spatial resolution of 100 fm and total measurement range of several centimeters are demonstrate

The purpose of this study is the real-time shape measurement of three-dimensional object by using color coded information. The paper relates to non-contact optical measurements of surface profiles or displacements, because of optical measurement systems are advantageous over using mechanical sensing, their relatively high speed and non-destructive capabilities. Therefore is particularly useful for three dimensional sensing which requires high horizontal and vertical resolution of measurements over a wide range thereof. Each a red, blue, green by using a inherence colors of hue value are good point.

As the essential techniques for the CD (Critical Dimension) measurement of the LCD pattern, there are various modules such as an optics design, auto-focus [1-4], and precise edge detection. Since the operation of image enhancement to improve the CD measurement repeatability, a ring type of the reflected lighting optics is devised. It has a simpler structure than the transmission light optics, but it delivers the same output. The edge detection is the most essential function of the CD measurements. The CD measurement is a vital inspection for LCDs [5-6] and semiconductors [7-8] to improve the production yield rate, there are numbers of techniques to measure the CD. So in this study, a new subpixel algorithm is developed through facet modeling, which complements the previous sub-pixel edge detection algorithm. Currently this CD measurement system is being used in LCD manufacturing systems for repeatability of less than 30 nm.

Optical observation system provides angle-only measurement for orbit determination of space object. Range measurement can be directly acquired using laser ranging or tone ranging system. Initial orbit determination (IOD) by using angle- only data set shows discrepancy according to the measurement time interval. To solve this problem, range measurement data should be added for IOD. In this study, two-site optical observation was used to derive the range information. We have observed nine geostationary earth orbit satellites by using two-site optical observation system. The determination result of the range shows the accuracy over 99.5% compared to the results from the satellite tool kit simulation. And we confirmed that the orbit determination by the Herrick-Gibbs method with the range information obtained from the two-site observation is more accurate than the orbit determination by Gauss method with the one-site observation. For more accurate two-site optical observation, a baseline should satisfy an optimal condition of length and more precise observation system needed.

A simple dispersion measurement technique has been demonstrated by using a self-seeding laser oscillation of a Fabry-Perot laser through a closed loop. The optical pulses of different wavelengths emitted from the Fabry-Perot laser travel down an optical fiber and the group velocity difference between the pulses due to the chromatic dispersion of the optical fiber is measured through the self-seeding laser oscillation process. The dispersion parameter of the optical fiber is calculated from the measured group velocity difference. The performance of the proposed technique has been confirmed experimentally and the accuracy of dispersion parameter measurement was comparable to that of commercial instruments with expensive equipment and components. The repeatability of the proposed method was better than 0.5%.

We propose a digital holographic interference analysis method based on a 2-frame phase-shifting technique for measuring an optical mirror surface. The technique using 2-frame phase-shifting digital interferometry is more efficient than multi-frame phase-shifting techniques because the 2-frame method has the advantage of a reduced number of interferograms, and then takes less time to acquire the wanted topography information from interferograms. In this measurement system, 2-frame phase-shifting digital interferograms are acquired by moving the reference flat mirror surface, which is attached to a piezoelectric transducer, with phase step of 0 or $\pi$/2 in the reference beam path. The measurements are recorded on a CCD detector. The optical interferometry is designed on the basis of polarization characteristics of a polarizing beam splitter. Therefore the noise from outside turbulence can be decreased. The proposed 2-frame algorithm uses the relative phase difference of the neighbor pixels. The experiment has been carried out on an optical mirror which flatness is less than $\lambda$/4. The measurement of the optical mirror surface topography using 2-frame phase-shifting interferometry shows that the peak-to-peak value is calculated to be about $0.1779{\mu}m$, the root-mean-square value is about $0.034{\mu}m$. Thus, the proposed method is expected to be used in nondestructive testing of optical components.

The extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (EFPI) optical fiber sensor shows good sensitivity and resolution, and has many advantages over optical fiber sensors of other types. However, this EFPI optical fiber sensor has a disadvantage that the distinction of measuring directions is difficult due to the measurement method by using only fringe counting. In this paper, the transmission-type extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (TEFPI) optical fiber sensor was developed, which has been improved by the additional function and whose measuring system is different from that of the conventional EFPI optical fiber sensor. Then the application result of the TEFPI optical fiber sensor to the strain and temperature measurement was explained in detail.
