Sichen Lei, Youxin Nan, Yufeng Yang, and Pengfei Wu
Using atmospheric turbulence transmission theory and partially coherent light cross spectral density function， the coupling efficiency of partially coherent light-fiber array is studied， and the influences of light source coherence， lens array sub-aperture number N， transmission distance， turbulence intensity， and waveUsing atmospheric turbulence transmission theory and partially coherent light cross spectral density function， the coupling efficiency of partially coherent light-fiber array is studied， and the influences of light source coherence， lens array sub-aperture number N， transmission distance， turbulence intensity， and wavelength on coupling efficiency are analyzed in this paper. Simulation results show that the lens array can well restrain the decrease of the coherence degree of the light source and the influence of atmospheric turbulence on the coupling efficiency of partially coherent light-fiber array. When the equivalent receiving aperture is the same， the increase of the N of the lens array can effectively improve the coupling efficiency of partially coherent light-fiber array. When N=37 and the transmission distance is greater than 3 km， the coupling efficiency curve tends to be stable. For a light source with a wavelength of 1550 nm and a coherence of 0.04 m， compared with single-lens reception， the lens array with N=37 can increase the coupling efficiency from 40% and 8% to 60% and 53% respectively in the case of moderate and strong turbulence. Compared with the long-wavelength light source， the coupling efficiency of the lens array to the short-wavelength light source is improved more obvious. For light sources with wavelengths of 850 nm and 1550 nm and a coherence of 0.04 m， compared with single-lens reception， the lens array with N=37 can increase the coupling efficiency from 18% and 41% to 57% and 60%， respectively..

However， the effects of the morphology， size， and Schottky junction barrier of metallic nanostructures on the injection efficiency of hot electrons are still unclear. Here， based on Monte Carlo simulations， the carrier transport behaviors in single- and double-junction planar structures and single- and double-junction core-shell nanowires are studied， and the effects of the morphology， size， and Schottky junction barrier on the injection efficiency of hot electrons are analyzed. The results show that in the planar hot electron device with a thick metal film， the double Schottky barrier configuration can reduce the hot electron thermalization loss and significantly increase the injection efficiency； with the thin metallic film， the thermalization loss of hot electrons is small， and the difference in injection efficiency between the double- and single-junction configurations is negligible. In the single-junction core-shell nanowires， the electron-phonon scattering significantly improves the hot electron injection efficiency， which decreases （increases） with the increasing metal thickness （nanowire radius）. In the double-junction core-shell nanowires， the injection angles of hot electrons at the outer Schottky junction interface are smaller than that of the inner junction interface， so the outer Schottky junction has a stronger hot electron harvesting capability. As the metal thickness （nanowire radius） increases， the number of hot electrons generated near the outer （inner） Schottky junction increases， resulting in an increase （decrease） in injection efficiency. This study provides an in-depth understanding of the hot electron transport behavior and the injection efficiency limit in various metallic nanostructures， and provides a guidance for the design of high-performance hot-electron devices..

Haisheng Song, Caixia Dong, Defang Niu, Kai Zhuang, Ting Li, Xiubo Qin, Penghao Liu, Xiongbin Yang, and Yuxiong Xue
Based on the theoretical basis of the interaction between particles and matter， the influence of charged particle energy， incident angle， detector thickness， and sensitive area on position sensitive silicon detector （PSSD） position resolution is analyzed by using FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation software. The simulation reBased on the theoretical basis of the interaction between particles and matter， the influence of charged particle energy， incident angle， detector thickness， and sensitive area on position sensitive silicon detector （PSSD） position resolution is analyzed by using FLUKA Monte Carlo simulation software. The simulation results show that as the electron energy increases， the position resolution capability of the detector becomes worse. When the electron energy increases to pass through the detector， the position resolution capability gradually increases with the increase of energy. For the detectors of different thickness， when the electron energy is completely deposited in the detector， the position resolution ability of the detector is basically the same. When the electron energy is not completely deposited in the detector， the position resolution ability of the detector with a larger thickness is relatively poor. The limited area of the detector will affect the position resolution. When electrons enter the detector at an incident angle α≤45°， the detected electron position will shift. The larger the incident angle， the more obvious the shift..

Taifei Zhao, Dandan Cao, and Qianwen Ma
A stable formation communication network can improve the ability for UAV clusters to perform tasks. Therefore， it is necessary to design an information interaction topology that maintains the formation and minimizes communication costs. This research is aimed at optimizing the topology of a UAV formation network by intA stable formation communication network can improve the ability for UAV clusters to perform tasks. Therefore， it is necessary to design an information interaction topology that maintains the formation and minimizes communication costs. This research is aimed at optimizing the topology of a UAV formation network by integrating the benefits of ultraviolet optical communication. Thus an optimally rigid formation generation algorithm for UAVs based on ultraviolet communication is proposed. In analyzing the ultraviolet communication link model between UAVs， an ultraviolet hemispherical LED array is used to assist the UAVs in finding their neighbor nodes. This is achieved by first generating an optimal rigid subgraph and then forming a optimal rigid formation graph through the link deletion. Simulation results show that when compared to other algorithms， the proposed algorithm constructs a topology with both an appropriate average node degree and a small communication radius. The proposed algorithm improves the fault tolerance performance of the network， reduces communication complexity and decreases energy consumption of the formation network..

The algorithm uses the information of the current， destination， and neighbor nodes in the neighbor table to find the path with the least number of hops from the source node to destination node， filters the node with a low energy through threshold， selects the optimal path with the same number of hops by comparing the link quality indication of nodes， and effectively avoids the conflicts in the path selection process. Experimental results show that the number of transmission hops is reduced by 35.8%； the network delay is reduced by 51.5%； and the node energy consumption is reduced by 16.1% at the end of the simulation. The algorithm not only provides an approximate optimal routing path but also maintains the advantages of tree routing， such as no routing table maintenance overhead and low memory consumption. In the case of the limited neighbor table maintenance overhead， the algorithm balances the energy of the network nodes， prolongs the network lifetime， and reduces the transmission delays and hops..

When the pulse signals for different Herein， a pulse measurement system based on bent optical fibers was investigated. First， an optical fiber sensor head was designed according to the bending loss theory of the optical fiber. Then， the collected data were processed， and the feature points were extracted and analyzed. When the pulse signals for different people with different ages and genders were measured before and after exercise， the tidal wave disappeared after the exercise， and the frequency and amplitude of pulse obviously increased. The tidal wave， dicrotic wave peak， and dicrotic wave trough of middle-aged people were not as pronounced as those of young people. Women showed a significantly smaller pulse pressure difference than men. Experimental results showed that the pulse measurement system based on the bent optical fiber could reproduce the detailed parameters of the pulse signal and accurately measure the main wave， tidal wave， dicrotic wave peak， dicrotic wave trough， and other characteristic points. These properties are significant for developing digital pulse diagnosis technology..

The core and cladding air holes are round. The effects of the core diameter， the diameter of the air holes in the cladding， and the lattice constant on dispersion and nonlinearity are investigated using the plane wave expansion method. A photonic crystal fiber with high nonlinearity and low dispersion slope can be obtained through optimization when considering a zero-dispersion wavelength of 1550 nm.

The interaction between ice crystal particles and light quantum signals will seriously affect the quantum satellite communication link. To study the influence of the ice crystal particles on the performance of Ice cloud is composed of tiny ice crystal particles， which generally appear at an altitude of more than 6 km. The interaction between ice crystal particles and light quantum signals will seriously affect the quantum satellite communication link. To study the influence of the ice crystal particles on the performance of quantum satellite communication， in this paper， first， according to the ice cloud light scattering model and the Mie scattering theory， the average extinction coefficient of the ice particles in the ice cloud is defined， and relationship between the link attenuation coefficient， ice cloud ice water content （IWC） and the transmission distance of quantum signal in the ice cloud are established ； then， for the amplitude damping channel， the relationship between channel capacity， channel average fidelity， channel survival function， channel error rate and ice cloud IWC and the transmission distance of quantum signal in ice cloud are established. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that when the transmission distance of quantum signal in ice cloud is 20 km， with the increase of ice cloud IWC， the link attenuation factor increases from 4.6 dB to 14.7 dB， the quantum channel capacity decreases from 0.250 bit/s to 0.089 bit/s， the average channel fidelity decreases sharply， the survival function decreases from 1.00 to 0.58， and the quantum channel error rate increases from 0.015 to 0.075. This shows that the ice crystal particles in the ice cloud have a significant impact on the communication quality of the quantum satellite. In order to improve the reliability of the quantum satellite communication system， the parameters of the quantum satellite communication system should be adjusted adaptively according to the relevant parameters of the ice cloud..

When the driving light field is red detuning， the perfect optically induced transparency and optically induced amplification can be achieved in the solvable and unsolvable sideband regions， respectively. The experimental results show that the full width at half maximum of the optically induced transparent window becomes very narrow with the increase of the dissipation rate of the optically mechanical cavity in both the solvable and the unsolvable sideband regions， but the full width at half maximum of the optically induced transparent window in the unsolvable sideband region is much smaller than that in the solvable sideband region. The change of the maximum value of photo induced amplification is just opposite to the change of the full width at half maximum of the photo induced transparent window. The maximum value of photo induced amplification in the solvable sideband region is less than that in the unsolvable sideband region..

The macro and microsurface morphologies of the sample cleaned by laser were analyzed， and the paint removal effect and damage to the substrate under different laser parameters were discussed. The substrate damage threshold was calculated to be approximately 556.17 W under the pulse width and frequency of 60 ns and 20 kHz， respectively. Results show that the paint coating on the sample surface is completely removed， and the substrate surface is not melted when the laser power， pulse width， and pulse frequency are set to 500 W， 60 ns， and 20 kHz， respectively. The oxygen content in the sample surface cleaned under the above parameters is 43.44%， while that in the original substrate surface is 42.51%， which are close to each other. The oxygen content in the cleaned sample surface and original substrate surface is approximately equal， suggesting that the anodized film on the substrate surface is not damaged during the cleaning process. After removing the paint by the above laser parameters， the microhardness of the cleaned sample surface is 168.34 HV， which is 99.1% of the microhardness of the original substrate surface， indicating that the microhardness of the substrate surface is unaffected by the laser cleaning paint process..

The model considers the changes of the material's thermal physical properties with temperature， latent heat， laser power， and laser scanning speed as the main independent variables. The simulation results show that the high temperature gradient is mainly concentrated in the laser cladding region and its vicinity because the laser cladding process has a local rapid heating and cooling characteristics. Due to the non-unifomity of the spatial distribution of the temperature of the laser cladding high-entropy alloy and the asymmetry of the geometric structure of the laser irradiated area， the maximum tensile residual stress in x direction is greater than that in y and z directions. The stress concentration exists in the interface region between the cladding region and the matrix because of the influence of the geometric structure mutation and the temperature gradient in the region. Due to the formation of residual stress is related to temperature gradient， temperature level， structure constraints， and other factors related， therefore， with the increase of laser power， the maximum residual stress in x direction increases， the maximum residual stress in y direction decreases and then increases，and the residual stress in z direction increases. The maximum residual stress in x direction decreases with the increase of the scanning speed， the maximum residual stresses in y and z directions increase and then decrease. With the increase of laser scanning speed， the maximum tensile residual stress increases under the comprehensive competition of the reduction of thermal expansion deformation caused by the decrease of temperature and the influence of uncoordinated deformation on stress. The simulation model is verified by experiments， and the verification result proved the correctness of the model..

The FeCrNiCu alloy is chosen for its similar chemical composition and excellent mechanical properties （e.g.， hardness）. We prepare cladding layer on QT700 ductile cast iron gear surface； the good mechanical properties of the remanufactured coating are verified by experiments that include analysis of cladding layer microstructure evolution， surface hardness comparison， and evaluation of friction and wear performance. Results of these experiments show that the coating has good fusion， without pores， cracks and other forming defects； the microstructure is presented as a remarkable laser cladding rapid condensation structure. After quenching the top of the cladding layer， the equiaxed grains are finer and the grain size is reduced. Dentritic crystals in the middle part of the cladding layer are refined， and parts of the branches are separated. The size of cellular crystals at the bottom of the coating basically keeps the shape after cladding， but the chill microstructure at the interface is transtriated to partial melting and intermittent separation. After cladding， the microhardness of the cladding layer is about 473?589 HV， which is increased to 666?735 HV after quenching； the friction coefficient of the cladding is 0.15?0.25， optimized to 0.05?0.15 after quenching. This study provides process and method reference for laser remanufacturing of nodular cast iron..

To this end， this study investigates the action process of the V-shaped crack and the surface acoustic wave within a certain range and adopts the finite element method to simulate the transmission process of the surface acoustic wave signal excited by the linear pulse laser source in metal materials under the thermoelastic mechanism and the interaction process of surface acoustic wave and V-shaped crack. The study show that V-shaped cracks of different depths and surface acoustic waves have different interaction processes. By analyzing the mechanism of different depth cracks and surface acoustic wave， the crack depth information is divided to three range intervals， and the calculation method of corresponding crack depth is estimated. In accordance with different action processes， this study proposes a rapid judgment and detection method for the V-shaped crack depth on metal surfaces. By detecting the surface acoustic wave reflected echo signal RR and the converted shear wave signal RS peak size， the depth range of the V-shaped crack can be quickly judged， and then its depth information is detected. This method enables rapid location of the crack depth interval and improvement of the detection efficiency of V-shaped crack depth information on metal surfaces. The simulation shows that the error of the crack depth between the calculated value and actual one does not exceed 5%, and that this method can achieve efficient detection of metal surface V-shaped cracks..

The influence of the laser-pulse energy density， scanning speed of scanner， and total number of repeat scanning on the taper angle of the hole and bottom surface roughness was investigated using field lenses of different focal lengths in the milling experiment. The experimental results show that the focal length plays a significant role in the micromilling process， while the other parameters can be used for optimizing the processing quality. Therefore， appropriate selection of the optical focal length can effectively improve the processing quality of micromilling blind holes， in particular， their taper angle. A blind hole with minimum taper angle of 5.4°， a hole depth of 0.83 mm and a bottom surface roughness of 2.48 μm was achieved at a focal length of f =160 mm with a laser-pulse energy density of 25.80 J/cm2， a scanning speed of 1000 mm/s， and a total number of repeat scanning of 400..

A 4-factor 3-level L9（43） orthogonal test plan was designed according to the reference range of the process parameters of the cladding system， and the effects of each process parameter on the surface morphology， internal defects， and dilution rate of the single-pass cladding layer were discussed by using the extreme value R analysis. Furthermore， the optimized parameters corresponding to the individual targets were also analyzed. Thereafter， the comprehensive optimal cladding process parameter combination was found through a multi-objective fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Finally， the effect of overlap rate （30%， 40%， and 50%） on surface morphology and internal quality of the multi-layer cladding were studied. The results show that the influence of the process parameters on the morphology of the cladding layer from large to small is scanning speed （B）， laser power （A）， defocusing amount （D）， and powder feeding speed （C）， and the optimal parameter is A3B2CD2； the influence of the process parameters on the defects of the cladding layer from large to small is scanning speed or defocusing amount， laser power， and power feeding speed， and the optimal parameter is A3B1C2D2； the influence of the process parameters on the dilution rate from large to small is powder feeding speed， defocusing amount， laser power and scanning speed， and the optimal parameter is A1B1C3D2. The optimal parameters for the comprehensive process are as follows： laser power is 2400 W， scanning speed is 5 mm/s， powder feeding speed is 20 g/min， and focal length is +5 mm. We could achieve a dense cladding structure with a continuous surface and no internal defects when cladding at different overlap rates with the optimized process parameters， and the laser cladding exhibited the best effect at the overlap rate （η） of 40%..

Onsite remanufacturing of the valve-seat sealing face is a major focus of thermal power plant manufacturing. In this paper, a laser cladding Stellite 6 Co-based alloy repair study was carried out for the commonly used SA182 F91 heat resistant steel for nuclear valves. A series of cladding thick-size repair samples were prepared by changing the process parameters, and the metallographic observation, hardness testing, three-point bending testing, and impact testing at room temperature were performed. The cladding layers consisted of a face-centered-cubic γ-Co solid solution with epitaxial growth solidification characteristics. The hardness, bending strength, and impact energy of the repaired samples were 450‒500 HV, 1246‒1582 MPa, and 40‒60 J, respectively. Bonding strength between the cladding layer and substrate was very high. The gas pore and bad bonding often exist in a cladding layer. The selection of cladding process parameters should follow the principles of low power density and high reliability..

The effects of the ratio of waveguide narrow side to the wide side， the ratio of ridge depth to the waveguide narrow side， the ratio of ridge edge width to waveguide wide side， and the width side of the waveguide on the slot resonance are studied by the method of theoretical analysis and electromagnetic simulation. The results show that when the ratio of the narrow side to the wide side of the waveguide and the ratio of the ridge depth to the narrow side of the waveguide changes， the resonant cutting depth change in the opposite direction， and the resonance conductance change in the same direction； when the ratio of the wide side of the waveguide changes， the resonant cutting depth and the resonant conductance change in the opposite direction； when the ratio of the ridge edge width to the wide side of the waveguide changes， the resonant cutting depth and the resonant conductance change in the same direction. According to the influence law of waveguide geometric parameters on slot resonance， the optimal waveguide geometric parameters are selected， and a 16 element single ridge waveguide ridge edge slot array is designed. The slot is arranged in rhombic shape to reduce the cross polarization level. The gain is 18.02 dB， the side lobe level is lower than -19.64 dB， and the cross polarization level is lower than -46.51 dB. Compared with the traditional rectangular waveguide narrow edge slot antenna， the antenna has the advantages of light weight， low cross polarization level..

Here， we propose one method to improve the teleportation fidelity in channels with Pauli noise based on a partial memory channel. According to the different parameters of Pauli noise， the average fidelity under three cases of bit-flip noise， xz dephasing noise， and two-Pauli noise is analyzed in detail. We construct the quantum logic circuit of a quantum teleportation scheme and analyze the relationship between quantum fidelity and noise parameters. In addition， as for the teleportation process under the effect of noise， the partial memory channel is introduced and the parameters of the partial memory channel are analyzed. The results show that the partial memory channel can effectively enhance the quantum teleportation fidelity under the influence of Pauli noise..

Min Nie, Yanpeng Zhang, Guang Yang, Meiling Zhang, and Changxing Pei
Quantum satellite communications in free space are susceptible to interference from ionosphere， space plasma and ice crystal particles. These factors can interfere with the normal communications of quantum satellites. In order to improve the anti-interference ability of quantum satellite links， this paper first proposeQuantum satellite communications in free space are susceptible to interference from ionosphere， space plasma and ice crystal particles. These factors can interfere with the normal communications of quantum satellites. In order to improve the anti-interference ability of quantum satellite links， this paper first proposes an optimization strategy based on quantum entanglement feedback control （QEFC）. In QEFC， the leaked photons in the cavity are measured and the information obtained by measure is used to estimate the states of atoms. Further the controller is adjusted to change the spin of atoms in the cavity. The relationship of different environmental factors with fidelity and bit error rate is established. Moreover，the system performance parameters before and after the adoption of QEFC are compared. Finally， the performance simulation is performed. The results show that QEFC can improve the fidelity of quantum satellite communication system under natural environmental interference in the amplitude damping channels and depolarization channels. In the space plasma environment， QEFC can reduce the bit error rate from 13.7×10-3 to 9.4×10-3 when the plasma particle radius is 10 μm and the transmission distance is 200 km. It follows that QEFC can effectively improve the link performance of quantum satellite communication systems..

Before the inversion， a different signal preprocessing， including the removal of the high-frequency structure and the inversion parameter range estimation， was performed for the standard and global rainbow signal. The rainbow signals of the droplets with different refractive indices and droplet size distributions （logarithmic and normal distributions） were numerically simulated based on the Lorenz-Mie theory. The proposed inversions with or without the size distribution were performed to verify the algorithm's effectiveness. The results show that the maximum absolute error of the refractive index of the standard rainbow signal inversion is less than 3×10-4， and the maximum relative error of the droplet size is 1.3%. Under various conditions， the error of the refractive index of the global rainbow signal inversion is less than 1×10-4， and the relative error of the mean droplet size is less than 1.67%. Finally， the algorithm was verified via the experimental standard and global rainbow data..

The simulation simulates the polarization state change data of the polarized light with the wavelength of 532 nm through the suspension of polystyrene beads whose particle size satisfies the Gaussian distribution of （600±10） nm. The number of photons in the simulation process is 106. In the experiment， the polarization states of 0° linear polarized light， 45° linear polarized light， left-handed circular polarized light， and right-handed circular polarized light in polystyrene pellet suspension were studied. Both the simulation results and the experimental data show that the degree of polarization decrease of circularly polarized light is at least 20% smaller than that of linearly polarized light. That is， the higher the density of polystyrene pellet suspension particles， the greater the fluctuation in the degree of polarization change，at the same time， the circular polarization is better than the linear polarization in terms of polarization preserving. In the same concentration of water， the polarization state of linearly polarized light with different polarization angles has little difference..

The probe can receive both forward and backward scattering energies of the particles， control the detection area through the Herein， a polarizing cloud particle probe was developed to further understand the scale spectrum and shape distribution of cloud particles and investigate the microphysical properties of clouds. The probe can receive both forward and backward scattering energies of the particles， control the detection area through the forward quality control channel， and obtain the depolarization ratio of the particles based on the horizontal and vertical channels of backward scattering. The scattering of several types of ellipsoid and hexagon particles in the probe was simulated using the geometrical optics approximation method. Simulation results show that the forward scattering cross-section of the particles is positively related to its equivalent radius. The oblate particles exhibit a stronger forward scattering ability and a smaller backward scattering depolarization ratio than the slim particles. Therefore， the ellipsoid particles show a smaller backward scattering depolarization ratio than the hexagon particles. The simulation data verify the feasibility of the probe for cloud particle detection and provide an inversion basis for detecting the scale spectrum and shape distribution of nonspherical particles..

To accurately identify natural and flame-melting synthetic spinels， we used Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy， X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy， absorption spectroscopy， and laser Raman spectroscopy to study the molecular structures， chemical compositions， and color mechanisms of the spinel specimens. The full-width-at-half-maximum （FWHM） was obtained by Lorentz fitting of the 405 cm-1 peak in the Raman spectrum and analyzed by one-way ANOVA（analysis of variance）. Although the conventional gemological characteristics of natural spinel and flame-melting synthetic spinel were almost identical， there are significant differences in molecular structures， chemical compositions， color mechanisms， and FWHMs. The results provide a theoretical basis for distinguishing natural spinel from flame-melting synthetic spinel..

The electromagnetic properties of the model were calculated using the time-domain finite integration method. The calculation show that the vertical InSb bar functioned as the bright mode resonator in the electromagnetically induced transparency structure， while the two horizontal InSb bars functioned as dark mode resonators. To study the variation in the electromagnetically induced transparency window， we varied the distance between the two horizontal InSb bars and the distance between the vertical InSb bar and the horizontal InSb bars. We found that the electromagnetically induced transparency window changes from on to off. Meanwhile， on varying the temperature of InSb that is highly temperature-sensitive， the center frequency of the electromagnetically induced transparent window moved toward high frequencies to achieve active tuning of terahertz waves. This study has significant application prospects in optical signal processing， optical storage， and slow light devices..
