A customized sensor encapsulation and installation method allow for precise strain measurement at cryogenic temperatures. The reflection peaks of series-connected WFBGs with low optical loss are obtained, ensuring high system reliability in harsh environments. The experimental results show that the maximum full-scale error is less than 0.81% full-scale error. The temperature is as low as -193 °C during the test.

The field measurements of atmospheric optical turbulence profiles by instruments are limited by labor, materials, financial resources, and other conditions. Therefore, it is of great significance to estimate the intensity of atmospheric optical turbulence according to the conventional meteorological parameters. A back propagation combined with genetic algorithm (GA-BP) neural network is proposed.First, based on Tatarski atmospheric optical turbulence parameterization scheme, the HMNSP99 outer-scale model is used to estimate the optical turbulence profiles; second, attempting to construct BP artificial neural network combined with genetic algorithm, which are trained by measured data to predict atmospheric optical turbulence profiles. The atmospheric optical turbulence profiles estimated by the two methods are compared with the measured profiles. The results show that the root mean square error (RMSE) between the estimated values of GA-BP neural network and measured values is smaller than that of HMNSP99 model, which proves that it is a feasible method to use GA-BP artificial neural network model to estimate the optical turbulence profiles..

Using numerical simulation calculations, the effects of the initial coherence length, beam waist width, wavelength, twist factor, anisotropy factor, turbulence inner scale, turbulence outer scale, and generalized exponential parameters on the beam transmission quality are analyzed. Simulation results show that by decreasing the initial coherence length of the beam and increasing the beam waist width and wavelength, the transmission quality of the beam can be improved. Moreover, the twisting factor of the beam is increased and the beam shows a small transmission factor, demonstrating that the beam can be adjusted reasonably and the twisting phase can effectively improve the antiturbulence ability of the beam..

The ridged core fiber's group vA polarization-maintaining chalcogenide glass fiber with a ridged core was designed and fabricated using Ge12As24Se64 (Ge-As-Se) glass as the core material and Ge10As24S66 (Ge-As-S) glass as the cladding material for generating linearly polarized mid-infrared supercontinuum (MIR SC). The ridged core fiber's group velocity dispersion was simulated using the finite element method, and the ridged core's geometrical size was determined. A multiple-stage rod-in-tube process paired with an extrusion technique was used to fabricate the fiber. The fabricated fiber exhibits a typical transmission loss of approximately 4 dB/m and a polarization extinction ratio of 19.4 dB-19.6 dB in the 2.9-5.5-μm spectral range. SC ranging from 2 to 9.5 μm with an average power of approximately 4 mW was generated when the fiber with a length of 12 cm was pumped by laser with a central wavelength of 3.7 μm, a pulse width of 170 fs, the repetition rate of 100 kHz, and average power of 40 mW. The SC has a measured polarization extinction ratio of 19.2 dB. These results indicate that the Ge-As-Se/Ge-As-S fiber with a ridged core is a promising nonlinear medium for generating linearly polarized broadband MIR SC..

The generation and transmission performance of its multi-band vector millimetre-wave signal is analysed in VPI and MATLAB environments using the coherent optical path structure of the cascade of the intensity modulator and the in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) modulator, combined with the probabilistic shaping technology. The transmission performance of two single-sideband vector signals with a net bit rate of 32 Gbit/s in uniform 16-ary quadrature amplitude modulation (16QAM) format and in a probability-shaping 16QAM format is compared and studied on the carrier frequencies about 70 GHz and 130 GHz, respectively. The simulation results show that the probabilistically shaped 16QAM millimetre-wave signal outperforms the uniform 16QAM millimetre-wave signal in optical fibre transmission. When the nonlinear effect of the fiber is considered, the probabilistically shaped signal has greater transmission advantages..

The system makes full use of the spectrum resources lost in traditional asymmetrically clipped optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (ACO-OFDM) by the means of layered modulation of subcarriers, which greatly improves the spectrum efficiency for optical wireless communication system. Moreover, since the Layered-ACO-OFDM system does not need to add direct current bias, the power efficiency is also greatly improved. A UOWC channel model based on Monte Carlo method is established considering the absorption and scattering effects of visible light transmission in seawater, and the channel response under different chlorophyll concentrations and different receiver parameters is studied comprehensively. The results show that the UOWC system based on Layered-ACO-OFDM has the advantage of high spectrum efficiency compared with the traditional ACO-OFDM. When the signal-to-noise ratio is 27 dB, it can achieve high-speed communication of 1 Gb/s at a distance of 10 m in clean seawater..

The design of beamforming to maximize the total transmission rate Aiming at the problem of limited power consumption and battery capacity in unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV)-assisted multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) emergency communication networks, a method is proposed for power-constrained conditions. The design of beamforming to maximize the total transmission rate of the system is optimized. First, a method for easy determination of UAV position without iteration is proposed. Second, considering that the problem is non-convex, the first-order Taylor approximation is used to approximate it convexly. The second-order cone programming (SOCP) reduces the computational complexity and solves the best beamforming vector. The simulation results show that the proposed method is suitable for multi-user communication systems. Although the interference cannot be reset to zero during the simulation process, the system's total transmission rate can be maximized by suppressing the interference..

The illumination characteristics of a collimating illumination system with extended source based on this type of lighIn theory, the total-internal-reflection lens can collect all the rays from the source, thus it is the preferred structure for secondary optical design in long-distance collimating illumination systems. The illumination characteristics of a collimating illumination system with extended source based on this type of light distribution element, including the intensity distribution characteristic, spot illuminance uniformity, and flux utilization, are analyzed by using optical software and experiment measurement, and the determining mechanism of divergence characteristic of the outgoing beam is explored. It is found that compared with the light distribution effect of the same-aperture plano-convex collimating lens, the flux utilization of the total-internal-reflection lens is improved significantly. However, the divergence angle of the outgoing beam is also remarkbly increased, which leads to no essential difference in the outgoing beam intensities of these two light distribution elements. Because the divergence angle of the outgoing beam from the core refraction part is different from that from the edge total-internal-reflection part, the illuminance uniformity of illumination spot for the total-internal-reflection lens is obviously deteriorated..

TheIn this paper, a TC4 component produced by laser selective melting was used as the research objects and the influence of inclination angle on the forming accuracy of their internal structure was explored. A TC4 component with different inclined channel structures was designed and printed under optimized parameters. The internal structure of the sample was observed using industrial computed tomography equipment. Then, it was imported to PolyWorks software for fitting and comparison to detect the deviation degree and surface quality of the internal structure of the sample. The results demonstrate that the inclination angle greatly influences the overhang degree and surface quality of the internal structure of the TC4 component. When the inclination angle increases gradually to 50°, the deviation degree of the suspended surface of the internal structure is reduced and the printing quality is considerably improved. Additionally, as the inclination angle continues to increase, the deviation degree increases and the printing quality is notably reduced..

Further, the effect of the marking process on grayscale and the change of grayscale are investigated. CCD industrial camera, UV-visible spectrophotometer, scanning electron microscope, and energy spectrum analyzer are used to measure grayscale and spectral reflectance and observe the morphology of sample surface before and after direct low-speed labeling and high-speed labeling and then low-speed labeling. Consequently, a consistent correspondence is found between the gray level of each sample and the change in spectral reflectivity. The grayscale of the sample surface obtained using the second process reaches 92%, and the reflectivity is reduced to 10%-17%. The cause of the change in grayscale is the antireflective structure formation on aluminum alloy, and the structure has micron furrows and absorbs many nanospherical particles and flocculants..

TThe pulsed 1064 nm fiber laser is used to clean the thermal oxide layer of FV520B steel. The effects of processing parameters including laser power, pulse frequency, cleaning times, and substrate roughness, on the cleaning effectiveness of thermal oxide layer and the surface roughness after cleaning are investigated. The results show that for the pretreated samples (the roughness is approximately 0.503 μm) by polishing with 200# abrasive paper, the surface roughness remains almost unchanged after cleaning in the laser power range of 40-120 W, while the roughness decreases with increasing power in the range of 120-200 W. When the above pretreated samples are cleaned under laser power of 120 W and pulse frequency of 20 kHz, the surface roughness presents an obvious decrease (dropped by nearly 40.8 %) after laser cleaning for two times, and the roughness does not basically decrease with the increase of cleaning times. In addition, under the same laser cleaning parameters, the cleaning effectiveness of oxide layer becomes lower and the roughness does not exhibit any obvious change with the decrease in roughness of pretreated samples..

Huixian Li, ChenHao Wu, and Liang Ma
Metal additive manufacturing has been successfully applied in aviation, aerospace, mold, medical and other fields due to its characteristics such as rapid, mold-free, and free-form complex structure. As the complexity and volume of manufactured parts continue to increase, the amount of data in 3D models is increasing, Metal additive manufacturing has been successfully applied in aviation, aerospace, mold, medical and other fields due to its characteristics such as rapid, mold-free, and free-form complex structure. As the complexity and volume of manufactured parts continue to increase, the amount of data in 3D models is increasing, and the time required for data processing has increased significantly, especially the steep increase in path planning, which has become the main bottleneck restricting the application of this technology. This problem needs to be solved urgently. In order to reduce the time required for path planning, based on the basic fact that the contours between two consecutive layers of additive manufacturing are similar, here the two-dimensional contours obtained by the slices of the three-dimensional model are divided into groups according to characteristics, and an innovative inter-layer information inheritance algorithm is proposed. Using the calculated filling path information of the previous layer, the filling path of the current layer can be quickly calculated. This algorithm does not need to calculate the intersections of each scan line and many contour loops of the current layer, which greatly reduces the calculation amount of path filling and speeds up the filling. The experimental results have proved that the overall calculation efficiency of the proposed algorithm is significantly higher than that of the traditional path filling algorithm, especially for the models with a constant cross-section or continuous cross-section, and the acceleration effect of the proposed algorithm is more excellent..

The results show that an appropriate amount of rare earth oxide CeO2 could refine the grain and improve the microstructure distribution in the coating, resulting in the formation of NiTi, Ti2Ni, and TiC. In electrochemical detection, CeO2/Ni60A composite coating with CeO2 mass fraction of 3% shows excellent corrosion resistance, where its self-corrosion current density Icorr is merely 2.110 × 10-7 A·cm-2 and polarization impedance RP is 190674.0 Ω·cm-2. Rare earth oxide CeO2 mainly accumulates at the boundary in Ni60A coating. It reduces the contact area with corrosive medium, which reduces the residual tensile stress in the coating to protect the passive film. Finally, it improves the corrosion resistance of the coating..

The hybrid process of high-speed laser cladding and laser remelting can obviously improve the cladding layer surface quality. The Fe90 stainless steel coating was prepared on the surface of 27SiMn hydraulic column material by laser cladding. The surface morphology, microstructure, element distribution and phase composition of the cladding layer were analyzed by using the ultra depth of field microscope and X-ray polycrystalline diffractometer. The properties of the coating were verified by the hardness test, wear resistance test and electrochemical corrosion test. The experimental results show that the surface roughness of laser remelting coating is reduced by 8.5% compared with that before remelting, and the microstructure inside the coating is finer and uniform. There is not phase disappearance and new phase appearance, but the phase content increases. In terms of performance, the hardness after remelting is 2.6 times that of the substrate, the wear weight loss is reduced by 95%. The laser remelting technology improves the surface quality of the cladding layer and effectively improves the coating performance..

Laser cleaning technology was used to remove this oxide layer. A high-speed camera was used to analyze the removal mechanism of the oxide layer. The influences of laser cleaning, abrading, and pickling processes on the macroscopic morphology, microscopic morphology, chemical composition, flatness, and microhardness of the sample surface were studied. The results show that the mechanism of laser removal of the oxide layer was mainly performed through ablation. The oxides on the surface of the samples were removed after cleaning them with appropriate laser parameters, resulting in a silver-white metallic luster. The oxygen content of the samples was significantly lower than that of the original samples, and the surface smoothness was superior to that of the pickling and abrading samples. In addition, due to the thermal effect of the laser cleaning process, the microhardness of the laser cleaning sample surface was significantly higher than that of the abrading and pickling samples..

The expressions of initial light intensity and orbital angular momentum can be obtained by analytical methods. The split-step Fourier method is used to numerically simulate the influence of factors, such as off-axis vortex position, topological charge, and vortex circulation direction on the critical power, beam width, orbital angular momentum, phase structure distribution, and transmission direction of the beam. The results show that by selecting the appropriate off-axis vortex position and topological charge, the single beam of the double vortex can achieve the light intensity distribution of the double vortex structure, and it can also transmit obliquely. The magnitude of the orbital angular momentum depends not only on the traditional topological charge, but also on the position of the off-axis vortex. Therefore, the controllable propagation of this type of double vortex single beam has important theoretical guiding significance and application prospects in the information carrying and transmission of the beam..

Based on the traditional ABC model, the carrier recombination rate and lifetime are calculated and the relationship between the 3 dB modulation bandwidth of InGaN-based LEDs with different emission wavelengths and the carrier recombination mechanism is studied. The calculation and analysis results show that under the same injection current, with the reduction in the effective active region thickness and quantum well layer thickness, the 3 dB modulation bandwidth of the 400 nm near-ultraviolet, 455 nm blue, and 525 nm green light-emitting wavelength of LEDs increases significantly. At the injection current density of 100 A/cm2, the 3 dB modulation bandwidth of the 400, 455, and 525 nm wavelength LEDs are 62, 88, and 376 MHz, respectively. At the same current density, the 3 dB modulation bandwidth of LED increases with the increase of the In composition (the ratio of the atomic number fraction of In element to the sum of the atomic number fraction of In and Ga elements). Moreover, because of the high In composition of the 525 nm wavelength LED, the thickness of effective active region is small and the carrier concentration in the active region is high. Moreover, the 3 dB modulation bandwidth of the 525 nm green LED reaches 376 MHz at high current density..

The optimal band combination algorithm is an effective method to extract spectral variables by considering the interaction information between bands. However, for laboratory Vis-NIR spectral data, this method is vulnerable to the “dimension disaster”.A method that appropriately reduces the spectral configuration (reducing the number of spectral bands and coarsening the spectral resolution) to improve the calculation efficiency without significantly affecting the prediction accuracy is proposed. First, six spectral configurations are constructed, which means that the number of spectral bands is reduced from 2001 to 19, the spectral resolution is increased from 3 nm to 100 nm, and the spectral sampling interval is equal to the spectral resolution (uniformly spaced sampling). Then, partial least squares regression combined with the optimal band combination algorithm is used to predict the optimal spectral parameters of soil organic matter (SOM) and electrical conductivity (EC) under different spectral configurations. The results show that until the spectral resolution is 60 nm (32 wavelengths per spectrum), the optimal band combination algorithm can improve the prediction accuracy compared with the full band spectrum data. The best band combination algorithm has no significant difference in prediction accuracy under 1?20 nm spectral resolution (about 2%); SOM [determination coefficient(

To address the issue of measurement stability, researchers proposed the sheath flow structure used to limit particle overlap and the pollution of light cavity. To achieve high stability concentration measurement, this paper optimizes the measurement accuracy and antipollution performance of the sensor from three perspectives: optical cavity structure, mass concentration calculation method, and gas path structure. The optical cavity structure is simulated using optical tracing to achieve the best-scattered light collection effect. Modifying the sensor's characteristic parameters reduces its measurement error. The simple sheath gas protection structure with internal circulation mode is designed to reduce measurement error caused by particle overlap and protect the optical cavity.
