机器视觉测量中成像系统光瞳球差对测量影响的研究

光瞳像差的存在会导致实际光瞳和理想近轴光瞳的形状和位置出现差异,从而对光学系统的成像质量产生间接的影响。由于光瞳球差会影响光瞳的位置,而在某些使用机器视觉的测量系统中,入瞳位置作为摄像机的光心,形成了机器视觉中的一种重要参数,当入瞳位置发生变化时,将会影响到测量的准确性,尤其在高精度的测量领域。介绍了光瞳像差的基础理论,以SCOTS(Software Configurable Optical Test System)光学面形测量系统为例,通过计算入瞳球差,分析了光瞳球差对相位测量偏折术测量的影响。结果表明,双高斯物镜中光瞳球差的存在,对测量结果的准确性和精度造成了影响,故在使用机器视觉进行测量的系统中,需考虑光瞳像差带来的影响。     

Aggregation induced polyelectrolyte multilayer film containing cubic silsesquioxane nanoparticles

Polyelectrolyte multilayer (PEM) films offer a method to functionalize substrates with specific properties that enable the films to be used for a variety of purposes. Desirable qualities of PEM films can include mechanical strengths, ease of preparations, flexibility, and their abilities to have their properties tailored to suit a particular process. We present a simple method to fabricate a class of PEM films that incorporate cubic silsesquioxane nanoparticles (CSSQ). Through a spin self-assembly (SSA) process, a hybrid multilayered film with two-components, namely, poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) and octaammonium cubic silsesquioxane (CSSQ) nanoparticle have been fabricated. The formation of this multilayer film is further verified by ellipsometry, contact angle studies, and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The water contact angle and ellipsometric measurements exhibit that the (PSS/OA-CSSQ) films are deposited onto the substrate. The surface topography of the deposited bilayers of PSS/OA-CSSQ film appears to be uniformly distributed with extremely small granules but the film uniformity of the granular surface is diminished and clusters of granules are observed at above 5 bilayers due to the aggregation of the OA-CSSQ nanoparticles.     

Stability and electronic properties of the O-terminated Cu2O(111) surfaces: First-principles investigation

The effect of different vacancies on the morphology of the O-terminated Cu₂O(111) surface has been studied through the first-principles calculations. Our results show that Cu and O vacancies trigger large relaxations and formation of two different facets. Our emulated STM images are in consistent with the experimental STM patterns. A sizeable magnetic moment (∼1.0 μ_B) was found for surfaces with either Cu or O vacancies. The calculated formation energies of surface vacancies indicate that the deficient surfaces are more stable than the stoichiometric O-terminated (1×1) surface, which is also in line with our results obtained from ab initio atomistic thermodynamics studies.     

Use of thermo‐Raman spectroscopy and chemometric analysis to identify dehydration steps of hydrated inorganic samples—application to copper sulfate pentahydrate

In situ thermo‐Raman spectroscopy (TRS) measurements were performed in order to investigate solid‐phase transformation of the copper sulfate pentahydrate from room temperature up to 300 °C. Band‐target entropy minimization (BTEM), a blind‐source separation algorithm, was employed in order to identify and reconstruct the pure component spectra of the species involved in the dehydration process. In spite of low signal‐to‐noise ratio and elevated baseline spectral data, BTEM was successfully utilized to identify and reconstruct four pure component spectra of copper sulfate pentahydrate, trihydrate, monohydrate, and anhydrate, which were formed during this thermally induced process. Subsequent mapping of these four pure component spectral estimates back onto the preprocessed spectra yielded the relative concentrations of each individual species. Finally, the transition temperatures of each dehydration step could be unambiguously deduced from the obtained concentration profile. The current study shows that combined thermo‐Raman spectroscopy and chemometric analysis provides an effective tool to determine the dehydration temperatures as well as to identify the structures of each individual species involved in a solid‐phase dehydration process.

A study of time over threshold (TOT) technique for plastic scintillator counter

A new charge measurement method, time over threshold (TOT), has been used in some gas detectors lately. Here TOT is studied for TOF system, made of plastic scintillator counter, which can simplify the electronics of the system. The signal characteristics are measured and analyzed with a high quality oscilloscope, including noise, pedestal, signal amplitude, total charge, rise time and the correlation between them. The TOT and charge are related and can be fitted by some empirical formula. The charge measurement resolution by TOT is given and this will help the design of TOF electronics.

星载海洋激光雷达最佳工作波长分析

星载激光雷达是实现海洋垂直剖面探测的有效工具,也是目前迫切需求的海洋光学遥感手段。对星载海洋激光雷达的波长参数进行评估对保证探测有效性具有重要意义。本文从探测深度和信噪比两方面分析了星载海洋激光雷达探测全球海洋的最佳波长。利用MODIS 10个波段的水体光学特性数据,估算全球海水探测深度及相应的最优波长;并根据太阳夫琅禾费暗线特性,对信号信噪比进行优化。结果表明:在探测深度方面,最优探测波长在488 nm波段的海洋占全球海洋面积的70%左右,并且全球95%以上的海域在488 nm波段的探测深度优于0.8倍的真光层深度;在信噪比方面,相对于488 nm波段,486.134 nm夫琅禾费暗线处采用0.1 nm带宽的滤光片可以将背景光强度降低70%,相应地回波信噪比整体提升了约5.0%。就全球海洋探测来说,使用486.134 nm作为探测波长可以提高探测深度,有效抑制太阳背景光,提高信噪比,因此,486.134 nm是星载海洋激光雷达的最佳工作波长。     

Influence of polymer dielectric surface energy on thin‐film transistor performance of solution‐processed triethylsilylethynyl anthradithiophene (TES‐ADT)

This study investigates the correlation between surface energy of polymer dielectrics and the film morphology, microstructure, and thin‐film transistor performance of solution‐processed 5,11‐bis(triethylsilylethynyl) anthradithiophene (TES‐ADT) films. The low surface energy polyimide (PI) dielectric induced large grains with strong X‐ray reflections for spin‐cast TES‐ADT films in comparison to high surface en‐ ergy poly(4‐vinyl phenol) (PVP) dielectric. Furthermore, thin‐film transistors based on spin‐cast TES‐ADT films on PI dielectric exhibited enhanced electrical performance, small hysteresis, and high stability under bias stress with carrier mobility as high as 0.43 cm²/Vs and a current on/off ratio of 10⁷.
