Improving the bandwidth of fast steering mirror is the important premise when adaptive optics is applied to space
communication. In this paper, based on the fast steering mirror structure, the resonance frequency and its vibration model
of the mirror, driving elements and bend-board of fast steering mirror (FSM) are analyzed in detail by use of finite
element analysis. It is concluded that the unreasonable structure of the bend-board which fixes and supports the fast
steering mirror is the main reason why the fast steering mirror has lower resonance and the resonance frequency of the
bend-board has the great influence of the parts of the whole fast steering mirror. In addition, the optimized design to
improve the resonance frequency of the FSM mounting is put forward.
Collimator is an important equipment with high accuracy in optical experiment and measuement. In order to improve
measuring accuracy, based on the particular aberration property of diffraction optical element, hybrid refractivediffractive
aberration correction method is put forward. In this paper, a hybrid refractive-diffractive method is compared
with conventional method with 80mm diameter, 500mm focal length and 550mm overall length. The resolution is less
than 4.3". Having been optimized, the maximum spot is 5.2μm, and the modulation transfer function (MTF) at
50lp/mm is over 0.8, better than conventional method.

The model of laser communication system using in vehicle mobile target was built. Optimal design and calculation was analyzed for system performance, such as laser transmission, photoelectric reception and speech information processing and image stabilization. Algorithm of MELP (Mixed Excitation Line Predication) compressed speech scrambling was received in processing voice message, which reached 2.4 kbps digital speech code stream, and realized digitization of laser communication. It was also analyzed carefully about the principle theory of MELP algorithm encoding and decoding as well as algorithm realization used in DSP. Image stabilization and tracking were realized by process signal errors which acquired at quadrant error sensors.

Laser identification of friend or foe system use laser wave radiated by high-power semiconductor laser as carrier wave for transmitting signal, and it is cooperative system which is carrying wave can return. The modulating return wave of the system uses reflection prism are stable, when the detectors of all-oriented photoelectric receiver detect the key-code of identification of friend or foe, electrical machinery will drive the reflecting prism to revolve in order to form modulating return wave. To inspect reliable return wave signal and solve strong background lights disturb as well as adapts to changeable detecting technique problem of APD photo-electric detector, the system adopts obscure noise compensation and signal identification technique controlled by computer in APD photo-electric system.

Wave-front distortion compensation using system performance metric optimization applied to ground-to-air carbon-dioxide laser communication system is explored theoretically and experimentally. A performance criterion for parallel perturbation-based algorithms is introduced and applied to optimize adaptive system architecture. We present numerical simulation results for an adaptive imaging system based on the stochastic parallel perturbation technique, along with 37 control channels. An adaptive system with a self-organized control channel hierarchy i introduced and analyzed. Results demonstrate that adaptive wave front correction by the parallel perturbation technique can significantly improve imaging quality.
Transmitting optical system was part of"maneuverable type Carbon-Dioxide atmospheric Laser Communicator", which consists of Carbon-Dioxide laser, acousto-optical modulator, focusing lens, collimating lens and transmitting antenna. Ground-to-air communication distance up to 15km, error bit rate no more than 10-9. Image and speech can be transmitted separately with half duplex. Method for design major optical devices of ground-to-air laser communication transmitter, such as laser, optical lens, modulator and transmitting antenna was analyzed in the paper. The principle technical index of acousto-optical modulator and Cassegrainian antenna which determine decisively to transmitting optical system were detailed calculation. Experiment curve of acousto-optical modulator with germanium material versus carbon-dioxide laser beam, for instance, modulation bandwidth, diffraction efficiency and modulation linear was measured. At last, gain and efficiency of reflective Cassegrainian antenna were explored.

Laser Shock Processing (LSP) is a new technique for strengthening the metals. This paper investigates the effects of LSP on the fatigue crack growth (FCG) behavior of 2024-T62 aluminum alloy. The FCG tests results show that the fatigue crack growth rates (FCGRs) at a given stress intensity have been reduced by over one order of magnitude.
This paper introduces the fundamental compositions and functions of a newly developed 5KW CO2 laser processing equipment CGJ-93 controlled by microcomputer in Changchun Institute of Optics and Fine Mechanics. The laser processing equipment consists of a 5KW CO2 laser, multifunction beam guidance systems, modular processing machine, water cooling system and CNC systems. The equipment has the ability to heat-treat not only the internal holes and outer circular surfaces but also space holes and three dimensional curved surfaces. The equipment can heat-treat workpieces up to 3000mm length, 1500mm diameter and 3000kg weight. The longitudinal table allows moving speed of 0.8-12000mm per minute with 3600mm effective moving range and 0.069mm position accuracy. The transverse table allows moving speed of 5-12000mm per minute with 1000mm effective moving range and 0.028mm position accuracy. The laser head allows longitudinal moving speed of 0.1-12000mm per minute. Its effective moving range and position accuracy are 540mm and 0.03mm respectively.
Laser shock processing (LSP) is a new technology for strengthening the materials. The feasibility of using a high energy, pulsed beam to shock-harden the localized stress concentration zone, i.e. small holes in 2024-T62 aluminum alloy was investigated in this paper. Confining plasma technique was used in our study. In order to generate the pressure which is required to exceed the dynamic yield strength of 2024-T62 aluminum alloy, laser parameters were optimized. The fatigue life of specimens was studied before and after laser shocking. The fatigue tests showed that the fatigue life of 2024-T62 aluminum alloy treated by LSP had been improved significantly. With 95 percent confidence, the median fatigue life of shocked specimens was 1.9 to 2.5 times that of unshocked ones. It is expected that LSP will e used as a good treatment for improving the fatigue life of aviation structures.
