Satellites with high radiation accuracy areused to calibrate satellites with low radiation accuracy. In order to ensure the reliability ofthe radiation cross-calibration method, we propose to obtain the gain and offset of theGaoFen-1 satellite by linear regression after the radiation cross-calibration of the satellitewith low precision and compare with the official coefficient. Finally, we get therelationship between the error in radiation cross-calibration results and side swing angle.The linear correction coefficients of each band are: 0.618, 0.625, 0.512 and 0.474. Theresults show that after the method is corrected by the linear correction coefficient, theerror caused by the side swing angle during the cross-calibration of the orbital radiation isreduced. The accuracy of radiation cross-calibration is improved, the frequency ofcalibration is improved and the requirements of remote sensing applications in the newera are adapted.展开更多

The recently developed soliton microcomb(SMC) can potentially transfer the dual-comb method to an on-chip platform. In this paper, we demonstrate DCS using two frequency scanning SMCs, termed scanning dual-microcomb spectroscopy(SDMCS). The two SMCs are generated by an auxiliary-assisted thermal balance scheme, and the pump laser frequency sweeps over one free spectral range of the microresonator(~49 GHz) using a feedback control system. The proposed SDMCS has a spectral resolution of 12.5 MHz, which is determined by the minimum sweeping step of the pump laser. Using this SDMCS system, we perform three types of gas molecule absorption spectroscopy recognition and gas concentration detection.This study paves the way for integrated DCS with a high signal-to-noise ratio, high spectral resolution, and fast acquisition rate.展开更多
