The base of the sensor is a cylindrical ring-shaped elastic body, three groups of Hui word beams are arranged on the ring at 120° intervals, and 6 FBGs are pasted sequentially on the Hui word beams in three groups. Moreover, an FBG is pasted on the sensor substrate for comparative experiments. Finite element analysis is used to study the strain distribution characteristics of the elastomer, and the difference in the wavelength drift of the three groups of FBG is used as the output signal of the sensor to realize the measurement of anchor cable stress and temperature-compensation. The pressure test results show that the sensitivity of the output signal of FBG on the matrix is 0.75 pm/kN, while that of the output signal of FBG on the Hui word beam is 33.53 pm/kN. The sensitization effect is remarkable, and the sensor has good linearity and temperature-compensation ability..

To address this issue, this study investigates the irregular reflection of visible light from irregular scenes and establishes a more realistic VLC channel model; further, based on this model, it develops a genetic algorithm-optimized back propagation (BP) neural network positioning (GA-BP) algorithm to overcome the poor performance of the BP neural network in handling nonlinear systems. Herein, by simulating the reflection element normal vector information of the actual channel model in irregular scenes, the direction of light reflection can be determined, enabling the receiver to collect more accurate optical power values. In an irregular indoor environment with dimensions of 5 m × 5 m × 5 m, the simulations reveal that the total optical power received by the system fluctuates within a range of 0.0141-0.0639 W; additionally, compared with the BP neural network, the GA-BP algorithm achieves a significantly reduced positioning error of 2.32 cm, along with an average positioning time of 0.0625 s..

A flexible high-order quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) optical transmitter scheme based on a dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) and a single MZM cascade is proposed in this paper. The principle and method of generating and adaptive-switching circular 16QAM, four-amplitude-four-phase 16QAM, circular 32QAM, and four-amplitude-eight-phase 32QAM optical signals are theoretically analyzed. In the virtual path identifier (VPI) simulation environment, the generation and transmission performance of the above four signals under 5 Gbaud and 10 Gbaud modulation rates are verified. The results show that the transmitter supports free switching between 8/16/32QAM signals by configuring the drive signal (binary or quaternary) and the direct-current bias voltage of the transmitter. Furthermore, the four generated signals have a good signal-to-noise ratio after transmission through a specific length of a single-mode fiber..

We design a sinusoidal phase modulated laser single-frequency interferometer with one length-fixed vacuum cavity for measuring the air refractive index. A pre-estimated value of air refractive index is obtained to determine the integral interference fringe number using the environmental parameters obtained by the low precision sensors. Then, the PGC-Arctan algorithm is adopted to accurately demodulate the phase of the interference signal to obtain the fractional interference fringe. Therefore, real-time large-range and high-accuracy measurements of air refractive index can be realized. The experimental setup is built, and the measurement results of the proposed method are compared with the findings of the Edlén equation. The experimental findings show that the measurement results of the two methods are in good agreement. The standard deviations of the differences between the measurement results of the two methods in 12 min and 1 h are 1.5 × 10-8 and 2.3 × 10-8, respectively. Experimental results indicate that the proposed method can be applied to the real-time compensation of air refractive index in laser interferometric precision displacement measurement..

A grid-structured-light calibration algorithTo address the problem that the pose measurement system will increase the weight of the measured object, a visual pose measuring system based on grid-structured light is developed. First, grid-structured light is used to obtain the 3D point cloud on the surface of an object. A grid-structured-light calibration algorithm based on a 2D target is proposed. Based on the coplanarity of the target and the structured light, the grid-structured light and a camera can be calibrated simultaneously. To verify the accuracy of the point cloud obtained by the grid-structured light, structured-light calibration and point-cloud accuracy measuring experiments are conducted. The results show that the point cloud accuracy is above 0.04 mm. Moreover, the point-cloud registration algorithm for pose measurement is studied. The sample consensus initial alignment (SAC-IA) algorithm is used for coarse registration because it provides a good initial position for fine point-cloud registration. The improved iterative closet point (ICP) algorithm is used for fine registration and random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm and a normal vector threshold are introduced to filter matching points. The distance from the point to the surface is used as the error function to perform pose measurements. Registration algorithm comparison and pose measurement experiments are conducted. The results prove that when the measured object is in rotational motion, the maximum error of the system does not exceed 0.25° and in translational motion, the maximum error does not exceed 0.35 mm..

Laser distance measurement devices used for the space calibration and positioning of manipulators are easily affected by factors such as the work environment owing to their insufficient ranging accuracies. This leads to inaccurate measurements and shortcomings in the space calibration and positioning of manipulators. TLaser distance measurement devices used for the space calibration and positioning of manipulators are easily affected by factors such as the work environment owing to their insufficient ranging accuracies. This leads to inaccurate measurements and shortcomings in the space calibration and positioning of manipulators. This article presents a phase laser ranging system based on the all-phase Fourier transform (apFFT). The proposed system uses the apFFT algorithm for phase discrimination and obtains the real-time measured distance. Compared with the Fourier-transform-based traditional phase laser ranging method, the proposed method can effectively suppress the spectrum leakage caused by various factors in practical applications. The experimental results reveal that the system exhibits good stability and can suppress spectrum leakage. Furthermore, the average positioning accuracy of the proposed system can reach 1 mm, which satisfies the requirements of actual industrial manufacturing..

TiC/Inconel 625 composite coatings were prepared on 45 steel substrates using EHLA and conventional laser cladding (CLA) technologies, and Extreme high-speed laser cladding (EHLA) technology can break through the efficiency bottleneck of coating production and provide an effective way to prepare high-quality coatings. TiC/Inconel 625 composite coatings were prepared on 45 steel substrates using EHLA and conventional laser cladding (CLA) technologies, and the microstructure, phase composition, corrosion resistance, and friction and wear properties of the coatings were characterized. Results show that the microstructure of the two coatings exhibits the same growth pattern, from cellular or primary columnar crystal to equiaxed crystal. For the EHLA coating technology, a cladding speed of 98.2 m/min accelerates the cooling rate of the solidified microstructure, thereby refining the dendrite. The average particle size is less than 1 μm, contributing to the improvement of the corrosion resistance of the coating. The addition of TiC promotes the formation of interdendritic carbide, thereby playing the role of precipitation strengthening, and forming dense passivation on the coating surface. The friction coefficient of the EHLA coating technology is lower than that of the CLA coating technology, showing good friction and wear performance..

The hybrid CRC consists of an asymmetric linear compound-four-cavity (AL-CFC) made of three uniform fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) and two optical couplers (OCs), as well as a dual-coupler-ring (DCR) cavity made of two OCs. Based on the Vernier effect, the AL-CFC can select the SLM from dense longitudinal modes, and the DCR is used as a narrow-band filter to further stabilize the operation of SLM lasing over a long term. A 1567-nm laser diode amplified by a high-power erbium-doped fiber amplifier is used as a pump source. Under a pump power of 2.80 W, a stable SLM laser output is achieved at a center wavelength of 2049.160 nm with an output power of 15.47 mW and an OSNR as high as 75.65 dB. The fluctuations of the wavelength and power are respectively lower than 0.005 nm and 0.85 dB within a measurement time of 200 min. The SLM operation becomes stable within 10 min. The pump threshold and slope efficiency are 1.75 W and 1.43%, respectively. The proposed TDFL has potential for applications in free-space optical communication, laser radar, and optical sensing..

The results show that porosity is the main reason for the decrease in density. The generation of different types The effects of key process parameters (laser power, scanning speed, and laser energy density) on the defects of 316L stainless steel samples are studied by experimental observation and numerical simulation. The results show that porosity is the main reason for the decrease in density. The generation of different types of pores is closely related to the process parameters, especially the laser energy density. Insufficient laser energy input (E<52.778 J/mm3), especially insufficient molten pool width, is the key cause of unfused porosity. The formation of keyhole is mainly caused by high temperature and deep size of molten pool due to high laser energy input (E≥93.056 J/mm3). It is difficult to eliminate stomata completely, but reasonable control to avoid excessive laser energy input is beneficial to reduce stomata size. By adjusting the process parameters reasonably, the density can reach 99.62%..

First, an Inconel718 laser cladding model was established on the surface of 45# steel by using ANSYS analysis software, APDL programming, and life and death unit technology. By comparing the size of the molten pool obtained by numerical simulation and experimental results, the accuracy of the model was verified to reduce subsequent test cost. Second, taking the quality of the cladding layer (forming coefficient) as the index, a regression equation was established by using the regression orthogonal experimental design, and the order of influence of the process parameters on the quality of the cladding layer was studied, followed by laser power, powder feeding rate, and scanning speed. Our results showed insignificant effect of the interaction on the quality of the cladding layer. However, the laser power and powder feeding rate exhibited the most significant impact on the quality of the cladding layer. Therefore, a single factor test is designed to analyze the influence of laser power and powder feeding on the hardness, dilution rate, and cladding morphology of the cladding layer. Through the analysis of variance, the optimal solution to the test is predicted to be as follows: laser power 1200 W, scanning speed 23 mm/s, powder feeding rate 20 g/min. These findings are consistent with the results obtained in the experiment. Moreover, the optimal parameters are verified by multi-pass lap experiments , and the structure is dense and fine. The cladding layer was found to have a good metallurgical bond with the substrate, which has a certain guiding effect on the follow-up practical production work..

To improve the internal defects and hence the efficiency of forming samples with thick layers (150 μm), the optimized process mode of "surface remelting + internal interval remelting" was applied. Comparison tests with samples formed without remelting showed that interval remelting and layer-by-layer remelting significantly improved the surface quality of the samples, with little difference between the results of both processes. The tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation of the samples remelted with a one layer interval were 97.84 MPa, 45.96 MPa, and 0.9% higher, respectively, than those of the samples formed without remelting. The fracture morphologies showed river-cleavage and dimple fractures, with slightly more holes in the one-interval remelted sample than in the layer-by-layer remelted sample. The mechanical property improvements of both samples were very similar. Meanwhile, the microstructure of the sample was related to the laser interval remelting process. The one-interval remelted sample gave a uniform and dense surface and the highest microhardness (442.1 HV0.3) among the samples..

Laser rescaling is an effective way to reduce the surface corrosion of marine steel. The differences in laser rescaling parameters will result in differences in the descaling effect and corrosion performance. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the change in the corrosion performance after laser rescaling. This studyLaser rescaling is an effective way to reduce the surface corrosion of marine steel. The differences in laser rescaling parameters will result in differences in the descaling effect and corrosion performance. Therefore, it is necessary to examine the change in the corrosion performance after laser rescaling. This study used EH36 marine steel as the research object and examined the influence of parameters, such as laser energy density and scanning speed, on the corrosion resistance and changes in surface morphology and elemental composition. Additionally, the mechanism of the influence of laser parameters on corrosion performance was evaluated, and on this basis, the optimal laser rescaling process for corrosion resistance was determined. Results shows that the corrosion resistance of EH36 steel first increased and then decreased with the increase of laser energy density and scanning speed. The oxygen content of the surface met the corrosion resistance requirements under the optimal parameters. When the laser energy density was 3.820 J/cm2, the excessive laser energy ablated the substrate. The grain size of the metal substrate decreased. Grain refinement and the density of active sites at the grain boundaries became higher, which facilitated the dissolution of the metal and reduced the stability of the corrosion products on the metal surface, thereby reducing the corrosion resistance. The surface of EH36 steel treated with a laser energy density of 2.546 J/cm2 and scanning speed of 3000 mm/s exhibited optimal corrosion resistance, with a 57% decrease in corrosion current density compared to the original steel..

The functionalization In this study, the functionalization of a tapered optical fiber using graphene oxide is monitored in real time by a chaotic correlation fiber loop ringdown system, and hemoglobin sensing is achieved experimentally with the functionalized graphene oxide tapered optical fiber as the sensor element. The functionalization of the tapered optical fiber surface using graphene oxide can be divided into hydroxylation, silanization, and graphene-oxide deposition. The effect of transmission loss is analyzed during functionalization according to the change in the ringdown time. The functionalized tapered optical fiber is tested via scanning electron microscopy. Moreover, the sensitivity of hemoglobin sensing is evaluated using different concentrations of graphene oxide in the functionalization process. The experimental results show that the functionalized tapered optical fiber exhibits a considerable increase in sensitivity by an order of magnitude compared with the unfunctionalized tapered optical fiber. The sensitivity of the functionalized tapered optical fiber is influenced by the concentration of graphene oxide during functionalization; sensitivity increases with concentration. These results can potentially be applied in the field of biosensing..

This paper compares the indicators of the microscope objective used in current TPP effect research, excavates the relationship between the object-side field of view, NA, and number of lenses, and proposes the objective synthetic sensitivity index (Iss). Combined with the Iss, a microscope objective with a wavelength range of 500-800 nm, NA>1.3, and an object-side field of view of 1.0 mm is designed. The resultant design of the objective lens involves a modulation transfer function curve close to the diffraction limit and a root mean square of wave aberration less than 0.07λ and uses the internal focusing method to adapt to the change of photoresist refraction for TPP. Tolerance analysis demonstrates that the design results are feasible..

Fabrication of subwavelength structures on Ge windows can enhance the antireflection performance so as to improve the optical transmittance, and the Ge windows are usually convex shaped to get a larger field angle. However, based on current methods, it is difficult and complicated to fabricate subwavelength structures on curved windows. To solve this problem, this study presented an efficient and high-quality way to fabricate subwavelength antireflection structures on the convex Ge window based on soft ultraviolet nanoimprint lithography (soft UV-NIL). The parameters of the subwavelength antireflection structures were optimized based on the finite-difference time-domain method first. The subwavelength structures were fabricated on the convex Ge window by soft UV-NIL. Test result shows that the average single-side transmittance of the convex Ge window is raised from 65.81% to 78.68% in the region of 3.55-5.55 μm, and specifically, from 65.85% to 83.13% at the wavelength of 4.4 μm. As a result, the broadband antireflection performance in mid-infrared is realized..

This paper built a finite element model using MSC.Marc to present a simulation study of the molding and holding stages of the glass lens under different process parameters. For this, the effect of temperature, molding velocity, and molding pressure on the stress of each compound eye, as well as the molding pressure and displacement curves, were obtained. Our findings for spherical preforms with a large deformation showed that the constant velocity molding condition increased downward displacement, leading to excessive external forces that prevent stress relaxation. The holding stage was further studied to obtain the pattern of effect of different holding forces on the filling effect and stress distribution in the compound eye..

Based on the principle of integrating the optical center of the lighting system and the outgoing system, the optical characteristics of the system are analyzed and a high-lighting reflection lighting system is designed that is conducive to the overall package. The analysis shows that when the system is tracking sunlight in all directions, the optical center remains unchanged. By setting the direction of sunlight projection, the installation positions in the system can be adjusted to realize full coverage of the tunnel entrance for sunlight lighting, which demonstrates the feasibility of the system for strengthening lighting at the tunnel entrance. Experimental tests show that the maximum utilization rate of sunlight by the system is 60%, and the lighting distance is 120 m long, which indicates a technology with the highest light energy utilization at the same transmission distance as that in direct sunlight lighting. The research and application of this technology can promote low-carbon, energy conservation, and environmental protection technology for highway tunnel lighting that demand high light energy, as well as promote the "carbon peak, carbon neutral" and sustainable development of road traffic..

We designed a semiconductor laser diode drive circuit with a smaller wavelength drift and ultra-low noise. For an alternating current small-signal model and alternating current path, we theoretically analyzed the correlation between the circuit parameters and system stability. The circuit design was optimized by introducing a noise-suppression network. Using Tina-TI simulations, the drive circuit loop noise is effectively suppressed, and the system stability improves to a bandwidth below 2 MHz.

The rectangular resonator has the characteristics of local multi-frequency electromagnetic wave and the electromagnetic wave propagation direction is adjustable, and the structure size of the straight waveguide determines the carrying capacity of the electromagnetic waves with different symmetries. Nonreciprocal two-channel filtering function is realized using the characteristics of the rectangular resonator and straight waveguide. The experimental results show that, in the case of forward transmission, the filter achieves filter transmission with central wavelengths of 1534 nm and 1574 nm, and 16 nm and 8 nm bandwidth, respectively, corresponding to the insertion loss of 0.4 dB and 0.36 dB, respectively, and inter-channel isolation of 33 dB and 22 dB. In the case of backward input, the mismatch of the electromagnetic wave symmetry mode causes no transmission, which shows that the designed dual-channel nonreciprocal filter has a good filtering effect and contributes to the development of the future all-optical communication integration field..

However, its mirror surface is often damaged during the development process. In this paper, the characteristics of the correction surface shape and the damage to the mirror after the bonding process are analyzed, and it is inferred that the excessive difference in the thermal expansion coefficient between the mirror glass and the connecting column head material causes excessive residual stress in the corresponding position of the correction surface after high-temperature curing. A numerical model is established to simulate the thermal stress of the joints, and it is used to select a stud material with a thermal expansion coefficient similar to that of mirror glass and an adhesive with a lower curing temperature to reduce the residual stress. The stigma material is replaced with 3Cr13, which has a thermal expansion coefficient that matches the glass material (K9). The experimental results show that the static surface shape of the phase corrector has been significantly improved after high-temperature curing, and the correction surface has not been damaged after multiple experiments..

Accordingly, an ultra-short-term photovoltaic power prediction method combining singular spectrum decomposition (SSD), double-attention mechanism, and bidirectional gating logic unit (Accurate forecasting of photovoltaic power can effectively promote safe and efficient generation and utilization of photovoltaic power. Accordingly, an ultra-short-term photovoltaic power prediction method combining singular spectrum decomposition (SSD), double-attention mechanism, and bidirectional gating logic unit (BiGRU) time-series modeling is proposed to address the insufficient forecasting accuracy of existing methods. First, SSD is used to reduce the randomness and volatility of photovoltaic signals. A BiGRU network is then adopted to model the time series of the decomposed signals. Additionally, an attention module is designed to simultaneously learn the importance (weight) of the feature and time series by weighting the features extracted by the BiGRU network. The final forecast of photovoltaic power is obtained via the decision-making layer. The experimental results demonstrate that the SSD and attention mechanism can improve the accuracy of forecasts obtained from the deep time-series model. The proposed method is superior to several other conventional methods and is highly practical for different seasons and weather conditions..

Several types of hybrid devices that can possibly host MFs in low-latitude condensed matter systems have been proposed in the last decade, including hybrid semiconductor nanowire/superconductor devices, iron chains on the superconducting surface, hybrid iron-based superconductor, and topological insulator/superconductor structures, with the analogous Majorana signals have been observed in the above hybrid system with different electrical means. And the proposal that there may be Majorana fermions in topological insulators has attracted much attention. Although a mass of theoretical schemes have been proposed consecutively, and similar Majorana signatures have been experimentally demonstrated, no conclusive evidence of the existence of MFs in low-latitude condensed matter systems is available and MFs-based topological quantum computing is difficult to achieve. In this review, we introduce several schemes for detecting MFs in low-latitude condensed matter systems, as well as elaborate on the different electrical means for probing MFs. Most MFs detection schemes focus on electronic transport properties recently, and in order to obtain more conclusive evidence of MFs, it is necessary to propose alternative methods for detecting MFs. Alternative setups or proposals for detecting MFs are thus required to obtain definitive signatures of MFs. We introduced an all-optical pump-probe technology accompanying hybrid micro- and nano-systems, and proposed a series of all-optical methods for detecting MFs, benefiting from recent progress in nanotechnology. Moreover, we also review the optical detection of MFs and MFs-induced coherent optical propagation. Finally, we anticipate quantum computation using MFs in solid-state quantum devices..

By dividing and extracting the hemispherical shell, a hollow water-cooled strip spherical arc Lambertian target is designed and processed. Using image space coordinate transformation and surface radiation transfer calculation, the entire spherical shell surface is obtained by splicing multiple sub-images. The measurement method is experimentally verified on an indoor solar simulator using a CCD camera to assemble a test system. The results show that the uncertainty of this method is 5.12%. The distribution of solar flux density along the circumferential and zenith angles of the hemispherical surface is uneven, and the peak energy flux density appears at the outer edge of the surface vertex, which is significantly different from the focal plane energy flux density distribution..

Wenhui Xin, Zhuoyong Ren, Jianxin Fan, Shichun Li, Jing Yue, and Dengxin Hua
A complex “frequency-doubling-comparison-phase-shifting” circuit is often required for the generation of frequency-doubling signals for harmonic detection in the existing tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy-wavelength modulation spectroscopy (TDLAS-WMS). Thus, an innovative signal generation method is proposed A complex “frequency-doubling-comparison-phase-shifting” circuit is often required for the generation of frequency-doubling signals for harmonic detection in the existing tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy-wavelength modulation spectroscopy ( TDLAS-WMS). Thus, an innovative signal generation method is proposed in this paper. In this method, a field programmable gate array (FPGA), as a main controller, controls a high-speed digital-to-analog (D/A) converter to generate a sawtooth scanning signal and sine modulation signal, which are used to drive a laser for wavelength modulation scanning after the signals are combined. Simultaneously, a square signal, which is frequency-multiplying and strictly in-phase with the sine wave, is also generated based on the phase information for demodulation of the gas absorption signal. Based on this method, the system scheme, high-speed D/A conversion circuit, and FPGA control flow are designed, and the generation of the sinusoidal signal and its frequency-doubled square wave signal with a delay is verified experimentally. When the system is applied to a gas detection, an absorption signal related to the concentration is successfully detected, and the detection amplitude is improved to some degree, which verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method..

Fusheng Li, and Xiaolong Zeng
This study proposes a quantitative analysis method combining sensitivity dimensionality reduction and Bayesian optimization algorithm support vector regression (BOA-SVR) to improve quantitative analysis accuracy of soil elements. The X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrum of the soil is obtained using a portable XRF analyzeThis study proposes a quantitative analysis method combining sensitivity dimensionality reduction and Bayesian optimization algorithm support vector regression (BOA-SVR) to improve quantitative analysis accuracy of soil elements. The X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectrum of the soil is obtained using a portable XRF analyzer, and the background is subtracted by iterative discrete wavelet transform. Furthermore, the calculated net peak area of each element is used as the model input feature. The influence of different input feature sets on the prediction accuracy is studied using sensitivity analysis to achieve feature dimensionality reduction. The samples are divided into training and test sets, and prediction accuracy of the model is evaluated using the root mean square error and coefficient of determination. Based on Cu and As elements, the prediction results of the BOA-SVR model under full feature input, the BOA-SVR model after feature dimension reduction, and the single-parameter partial least squares model are compared. The experimental results show that BOA-SVR model after feature dimension reduction achieves the best prediction result in both Cu and As elements..

To quickly and nondestructively identify nail tissues extracted from crime scenes, this paper proposes a nondestructive identification and gender characterization method of human nails based on molecular spectroscopic analysis and machine learning. We establish various classification prediction models by collecting 120 infrared spectroscopy data of different gender nail samples of the same age group. Using principal component analysis technology, dimensionality reduction is used to extract 3 principal components, and the samples are interactively verified. The recognition effects of Fisher discriminant function, multilayer perceptron, and back propagation (BP) neural network model are also compared. The experimental results show that the classification and recognition rate of the multilayer perceptron model can reach 91.4%, which is better than the Fisher discriminant analysis model. The BP neural network model based on the particle swarm optimization algorithm has the best classification effect, with a recognition rate of 97.7%..

Jinjing Fang, Linhong Cao, Jian Yu, Jin Wang, Yajun Fu, Wanting Lan, Jingsong Zhang, and Weidong Wu
Fe/MgO nanocomposite films are prepared using pulsed laser deposition, and the effects of pulse number on the structure, composition, and optical properties of the composite films are studied in this paper. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that a diffraction peak with a crystal plane orientation of (211) appears when tFe/MgO nanocomposite films are prepared using pulsed laser deposition, and the effects of pulse number on the structure, composition, and optical properties of the composite films are studied in this paper. X-ray diffraction analysis shows that a diffraction peak with a crystal plane orientation of (211) appears when the pulse number of the deposited Fe nanoparticles is greater than 500, confirming the existence of Fe, Mg, and O elements in the composite film; part of the Fe nanoparticles in MgO film is oxidized, thus existing in the elemental and oxidized states (content ratio of ~3∶2). High-resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis shows that when the pulse number is 100, Fe nanoparticles with an average particle size of ~2.73 nm are uniformly distributed in an ellipsoid shape in the MgO film, and the average spacing between Fe nanoparticles is ~1.75 nm. Ellipsometry analysis shows that the refractive index and dispersion sensitivity of the Fe/MgO nanocomposite films increases as the pulse number increasing when the wavelength is less than 365 nm. Ultraviolet-visible spectral analysis shows that Fe/MgO nanocomposite films exhibit an obvious ultraviolet narrow-band antireflection phenomenon in the wavelength range of 190-235 nm compared with pure MgO films;the transmittance of the composite film at 197 nm is ~69.4%..

The firmness of the coating has been a major research object to solve the problem of coating adhesion. First, the appropriate film source materials were chosen, and the design and optimization of the film system were completed. The single factor experiment was carried out with the deposition temperature as the influencing factor, and the deposition process and residual stress of the ZnS connection layer were examined. The method without an ion source was used to reduce the residual stress of the connection layer and improve film adhesion. Finally, the problem of coating adhesion at higher temperatures was solved. An infrared antireflective coating with an 8-12 μm wavelength was developed, and the deposition process was applied to practical production. The average transmittance and reflectance of the prepared film were 98% and 0.6%, respectively.
