Risley prisms can serve as a beam steering device to move field of view and appear to be a promising solution to boresight adjustment in imaging tracking applications. It is desirable to deduce the inherent relation among target offsets, target’s line of sight (LOS) deviations from sensor’s boresight and the required prism rotations. The boresight adjustment model based on Risley prisms is described. Reverse ray tracing is performed and case examples are given to characterize the nonlinear relationship between target offset and its LOS deviation. A boresight adjustment method based on the inverse ray tracing and the two-step method is then illustrated. The simulation results show that the target’s LOS deviations from the boresight are stretched along the boresight’s radial direction relative to the target offsets. By the proposed boresight adjustment method, the required rotations of the prisms can be derived from the target offset. The singularity problem is also pointed out using this method, and the corresponding conclusions are consistent with those deduced in many works. The research demonstrates the inner mechanisms of the imaging tracking based on Risley prisms in principle. The proposed boresight adjustment method can provide guidance for controlling the circular motion of the prisms.
For many astronomical systems, Adaptive Optics (AO) plays an important role. Here, we report some preliminary studies
on MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-System) Project for micro actuators in AO applications at the Institute of Optics
and Electronics, Chinese Academy of Science. This paper presents a few MEMS actuators based on repulsive
electrostatic driven mechanism, which can achieve large out-of-plane strokes through eliminating the electrostatic pull-in
effect. Design principles, including the layout and the physical dimension of electrodes, and FEA models are illustrated;
it provides helpful guidance for designing electrostatic repulsive actuators for being implemented in Deformable Mirrors
(DMs). Some repulsive electrostatic driven micro actuators are given, the analysis focus on the displacement versus
applied voltage and resonant frequency. Repulsive electrostatic driven actuators can achieve large strokes and high
resonant frequencies, they meet the important requirements for DMs.
This paper focuses on the study of sensitivities of microcantilever chemical sensors based on SOI POLYMUMPS
process. Through changing the geometry of beams and analyzing resonance frequency shift in a dynamic mode by using
FEA (finite element analysis) method, the most sensitive structure, which is a triangle, is selected out from various kinds
of beam designs. The relation between the sensitivity and the parameters such as length L, width W and thickness t is
obtained by dynamic analyzing with the commercial software Intellisuite. This research provides the primary instruction
for developing high sensitive multi-array biochips aiming at analyzing multiple parameters in parallel.
Based on beam characteristic of semiconductor lasers, The paper details a pumping system, which couples single LD to multimode with hyperboloid micro-lens at first, and then combines sixteen LD fiber coupled modules which with 2W output power to parallel pump fiber lasers which with fiber Bragg grating on each end by using a multimode coupler at each end. The total conversion efficiency of optical to optical is 40% and output power from fiber is 13W. Because this pumping system has merit of small volume, compact structure, replaced easy, long lifetime and high pumping efficiency, it more fits to end and side pumping for fiber lasers.
The paper introduces a research on fiber coupled CW diode laser module. It works in a series connection other than parallel connection, which is done by other devices. Through the study and optimization on technology of heatsink insulate, narrowband reflector, exact coupling compound and collimation, we have secured 10~20W output power from fiber which have 100µm core diameter when the working current is only several ampere. Because the total junction capacitance in series connection is small, it is easy to carry out narrower pulse direct modulation .All of these characters make it more suit the arm equipment which use batteries to power supply. Especially in these fields such as laser beam riding guidance, active image and night vision system, it may have good foreground.
