Based on the oscillator with bidirectional pumping, employing the double cladding ytterbium-doped fiber (DCYDF) with a core/cladding diameter of 30/400 µm which was pumped by the wavelength-stabilized 981 nm laser diodes (LDs), a bidirectional output fiber laser oscillator with a total output power of greater than 8 kW was achieved experimentally for the first time. With the total bidirectional pump power of 10.951 kW, a total output power of 8169 W with 3769 W at end A and 4400 W at end B were achieved, with an O-O efficiency of 74.6%. No TMI or SRS were observed at both ends, and higher laser output power can be expected by further increasing the pumping power..

Yuqing Chen, Lei Wang, Lishan Zhao, and Juntao He
During the flight of hypersonic vehicle, plasma sheath will be produced on the surface due to the influence of surface shockwave. Because the plasma sheath will absorb, reflect and scatter electromagnetic waves, the communication signal will be attenuated or even interrupted, causing “blackout” problem. Theoretically, During the flight of hypersonic vehicle, plasma sheath will be produced on the surface due to the influence of surface shockwave. Because the plasma sheath will absorb, reflect and scatter electromagnetic waves, the communication signal will be attenuated or even interrupted, causing “blackout” problem. Theoretically, the interaction between the plasma sheath and microwave is nonlinearly changing with electric field, so there may be a suitable E-field amplitude and irradiation time interval to make electromagnetic wave transmissivity rise. For this possibility, Finite Element Analysis is used to conduct a two-dimensional coupled simulation of the plasma sheath flow field and the electromagnetic field on the hypersonic vehicle’s surface, and the change of the plasma sheath transmissivity after microwave irradiation is obtained. The plasma sheath was irradiated for 30 ns with electric field of 5×104 V/m, 1×105 V/m, 2.5×105 V/m, 5×105 V/m, respectively. The maximum transmissivity to 1.2 GHz and 1.6 GHz electromagnetic waves is enhanced after irradiation. It provides a new possibility to solve the “blackout” problem..

How to realize real-time monitoring and fault diagnosis of optical elements in the working status of laser systems is a problem that urgently needs to be solved in this professional field. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a fault diagnosis method for optical elements based on infrared and visible light videos. Firstly, a long-wave infrared camera and a visible light camera are used to collect video information during the working process of the optical element. Then, the collected video information is processed using anomaly point detection algorithms. Finally, the fault diagnosis and localization of the optical element are carried out in combination with the thermal rise characteristics of the optical element. The experimental results show that, under the same algorithm, the method proposed in this paper has improved the fault diagnosis precision rate, false alarm rate and missed alarm rate by 9.70%, 3.60% and 6.10%, respectively, compared with the method of fault diagnosis using infrared videos alone; the method proposed in this paper has improved the fault diagnosis precision rate, false alarm rate and missed alarm rate by 18.00%, 16.00% and 2.00%, respectively, compared with the method of fault diagnosis using visible light videos alone..

The M-band radiation source generated by an elementary target has high brightness, but poor uniformity. Therefore, this paper proposes a scheme to generate M-band radiation using a multilayer composite target prepared by a variety of metallic materials. For the K edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy experiment of Si, the optimal material ratio was theoretically calculated according to the previous elementary target M-band spectrum experiment data, and the multilayer composite target composed of Au, Yb, Dy was prepared. The radiation spectrum measurement of the multilayer composite target driven by pulse laser was carried out on the Shenguang II laser facility, and the experimental results were basically consistent with the theoretical calculation. Compared with an elementary target, the M-band radiation source generated by multilayer composite target has the advantages of wide spectrum and uniform overall brightness, and has great application potential in time-resolved X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy experiments..

Based on the mechanism of pseudo-signal interference effect of second-order intermodulation electromagnetic radiation, the concept of effect index is introduced to characterize the multivariable problem of complex electromagnetic environment adaptability with a single variable. The quantitative characterization of pseudo-signal interference effect of radar equipment in complex electromagnetic environment is realized, and the evaluation model of pseudo-signal interference effect of second-order intermodulation is established. Taking a certain type of sweep frequency continuous wave ranging radar as the research object, aiming at the second-order intermodulation pseudo-signal interference phenomenon in the test radar, the method of determining the model parameters is given, and the prediction and evaluation method of the second-order intermodulation pseudo-signal interference effect of radar equipment is proposed. Experimental verification shows that whether it is to change the pseudo-signal sensitivity level, or to change the dual-frequency electromagnetic radiation combination in the range of large radiation frequency offset and large intermodulation difference, the universal second-order intermodulation pseudo-signal interference effect model can be used to evaluate the second-order intermodulation pseudo-signal interference effect of the tested radar. The evaluation error is within 2.5 dB, and the second-order intermodulation pseudo-signal interference of radar equipment can be objectively evaluated according to the effect prediction method..

Back-to-back cold test experiments were carried out on the device using vector network analyzer, and the results show that the in-band attenuation is about 0.5 dB, which deviates little from the simulation calculation result, which meets the actual engineering requirements..

Comb spectrum microwave has unique advantages in electronic countermeasure that other countermeasure ways do Comb spectrum microwave usually refers to electromagnetic wave with center frequency spectrum distribution similar to comb shape, and energy distribution at multiple frequency points within a certain bandwidth. Comb spectrum microwave has unique advantages in electronic countermeasure that other countermeasure ways do not have, and shows an excellent application prospect in communication countermeasure, radar countermeasure and other fields.

Cheng Ning, Weihao Huang, Chuang Xue, and Wu Wen
In this paper, by means of the developed two dimensional radiation magneto-hydrodynamic Lagrangian code, the dynamic hohlraums, which are consisted of tungsten plasma shell and low density foam cylinder with or without an embedded hard foam layer on the cylinder and a capsule in the center, are simulated. We understandIn this paper, by means of the developed two dimensional radiation magneto-hydrodynamic Lagrangian code, the dynamic hohlraums, which are consisted of tungsten plasma shell and low density foam cylinder with or without an embedded hard foam layer on the cylinder and a capsule in the center, are simulated. We understand the effects of the hard foam layer on the hohlraum radiation field, and the coupling of capsule and hohlraum for the capsule fusion, by comparing the simulated results of different configuration hohlraums. After applying a hard foam layer on the low density foam cylinder, the time, uniformity, and the first peak value of radiation field, receipted by the capsule, is delayed, increased, and reduced, respectively. Furthermore, the radiation temperature on the capsule surface is increasing smoothly, and the dwelling time of the hohlraum is prolonged. For a driven current of peak 50 MA and full rise time 300 ns, the dwelling time can be longer than 10 ns, and the radiation temperature at the late time can be higher than 350 eV. The time variation of the radiation temperature is close to that measured in American National Ignition Facility (NIF) hohlraum in which the capsule was imploded and the fusion energy of 1.37 MJ was released. After embedding a capsule into the center of low density foam cylinder, the radiation temperature receipted by the capsule during the late process increases. This implies that both the hard foam layer and the coupling of the capsule and the dynamic hohlraum are good for the capsule ablating implosion..

A dual-constrained image reconstruction algorithm based on Kalman filtering is proposed to solve the problem of reconstructing the two-dimensional shock wave fringe image from the compressed image obtained by the Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector (VISAR) based on Compressed Ultrafast Photography (CUP). BA dual-constrained image reconstruction algorithm based on Kalman filtering is proposed to solve the problem of reconstructing the two-dimensional shock wave fringe image from the compressed image obtained by the Velocity Interferometer System for Any Reflector (VISAR) based on Compressed Ultrafast Photography (CUP). Based on the sparsity and smoothness of fringed images, the algorithm firstly transforms the problem into an optimization problem based on wavelet and total variational double prior constraints, and then, considering the noise of actual imaging, the weighted Kalman filter is used to predict and adjust the existing information of the image, and finally the Kalman filter is introduced into the iterative process of the two-step iterative threshold algorithm, and then the double-constraint optimization problem is solved to realize the accurate reconstruction of the compressed image. In the large-noise simulation experiment, the peak signal-to-noise ratio and structural similarity of the reconstructed images of the algorithm are increased by 4.8 dB and 14.81%, respectively, which significantly improves the image reconstruction quality. In actual experiments, the algorithm reconstructs a clear shock wave fringe image and reduces the maximum relative error of shock wave velocity by 9.57% and the average relative error of shock wave velocity by 2.2%, which verifies the feasibility of the algorithm..

AnLaser pulse shape is one of the most critical parameters for the success of inertial confinement fusion experiments. The ability to shape the laser pulse with accuracy, efficiency, and robustness is fundamental for high-power laser facility with individual characteristics and independent adjustability for each beam. An autonomous pulse-shaping method is established by employing an iterative algorithm and some strategies, solving the problem of nonlinear response in the pulse-shaping process, as well as improving the convergence rate. The test results indicate that it is capable of shaping an almost arbitrary pulse waveform at the accuracy of better than 10% (rms) of the deviances within 20 iterations or about 10 min, even a 23∶1 high-contrast-pulse waveform can be done with high quality of pulse and measure condition. With this method, the precise control on the laser pulse shape and the operational efficiency can fully meet the experimental requirements..

To enhance the anti-interference ability of signal transmission, the output of the delay generator is transmitted with optical signals. The optical synchronization signals is transmitted and fed back by using single-fiber feedback optical module.

This paper studies a novel circuit topology, which is comprised of a high bridge converter and a double polarity Cockcroft-Walton circuit with unsymmetrical capacitors. The experimental results show that the ripple is lower than 0.06% when the output voltage and current are 100 kV and 25 mA, respectively. Meanwhile the storage energy of high voltage units is only 0.85 of traditional circuit..

Jinbo Jiang, Rui Chen, Qing Zhao, Ke Ma, Yandong Yao, and Guifeng Chen
To achieve synchronous driving of multiple SiC MOSFET switches in an all solid-state Marx generator, a drive control circuit based on a pulse transformer was designed. The synchronization of multiple drive signals can affect the output waveform parameters of the Marx generator, thus it is required that the drive signalTo achieve synchronous driving of multiple SiC MOSFET switches in an all solid-state Marx generator, a drive control circuit based on a pulse transformer was designed. The synchronization of multiple drive signals can affect the output waveform parameters of the Marx generator, thus it is required that the drive signal have the characteristics of fast pulse front and low jitter. According to the driving principle and requirements of SiC MOSFET, the influencing factors of pulse front in SiC MOSFET driving circuit were analyzed, and its related parameters were calculated and simulated for verification. A pulse transformer with 10 primary core piercing stages in series was designed, with 1 turn for the primary and 9 turns for the secondary. The second stage was driven by a 10 stage Marx circuit after passing through a positive and negative pulse signal conditioning circuit. The actual measurement results indicate that the resonant circuit composed of the primary leakage inductance of the pulse transformer and the resonant capacitor in intermittent mode has higher driving power, faster pulse front, and better synchronization. The pulse front of the synchronous driving circuit is 112 ns, the pulse width is adjustable from 1 μs to 10 μs, and the frequency is adjustable from 10 kHz to 25 kHz, which can meet the adjustment requirements of solid-state Marx generator parameters..

LC resonant charging scheme is suitable for high repetition rate pulse power system because of its simple circuit structure and control method, small size and high power efficiency. To make the LC resonant charging scheme with a higher boost range and improve its adaptability to supply voltage changes, this paper adoptLC resonant charging scheme is suitable for high repetition rate pulse power system because of its simple circuit structure and control method, small size and high power efficiency. To make the LC resonant charging scheme with a higher boost range and improve its adaptability to supply voltage changes, this paper adopts a circuit topology with a boost structure, which enables the LC resonant charging scheme to have the ability to boost and reduce voltage. At the same time, it uses a control algorithm based on real-time energy detection, which enables the scheme to accurately charge and discharge according to preset parameters, and enhances the adaptability to supply voltage fluctuations. The preliminary experimental results show that the power supply can complete the regulation of voltage rise and fall when the supply voltage fluctuates, and the maximum voltage deviation is less than 5 V, thus it has higher charging accuracy and better charging consistency..
