However, owing to the limited laser damage resistance of the materials constituting the LCPMs as well as insufficient system research on the laser damage and the phase modulation performance degradation of LCPMs induced by high power lasers, the laser handling power of LCPMs cannot satisfy the requirements of high power laser developments. To provide guidance for optimizing the fabrication process of LCPMs with high laser handling power, we reviewed the laser damage and the phase modulation performance degradation characteristics of LCPMs irradiated by high-peak-power lasers and high-average-power-lasers and then summarized the methods to improve the laser handling power of LCPMs..

In this manuscript, tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) is used as the silicon source and an acid-base two-step method is used. Ultra-low density SiO2 aerogels were prepared by ethanol supercritical drying technology, and a series of studies were performed on the aerogels using SEM\TEM\BET and other characterization methods. When the aerogel density was 0.6 mg/cm3, it had the best comprehensive properties. In addition, this aerogel has the advantages of ultra-low density, high specific surface area, good formability, and short preparation cycle. Thus, it is expected to play a significant role as a frozen target in laser inertial confinement fusion experiments..

The continuous wavelet method was useThe influence of cutting parameters on the frequency characteristics of optical crystal surface has been studied. The experiment of single point diamond turning was adopted to process KDP crystal. The frequency distribution of surface profile was obtained by power spectral density. The continuous wavelet method was used to evaluate the influence of cutting depth, feed rate and spindle speed on machined surface. The results show that the frequency characteristics reflect the effects of cutting parameters on surface topography. The wavelength and amplitude of mid frequency embody the change of cutting depth and spindle speed, and the amplitude increases with the increase of cutting depth and speed. Low frequency reflects the change of feed rate, and the amplitude becomes small as feed rate decreases. High frequency is the manifestation of vibration and material anisotropy in processing. Therefore the analysis of frequency characteristics on surface topography provides a reference for selecting the optimal process parameters..

Xicheng Lu, Yang Qiu, Jing Wu, Jin Tian, and Zhiqiang Yang
The experiments reveal, for the RF filter, the out-off-band transfer property under ultra wide band (UWB) pulses is essentially in agreement with that of continous wave (CW). However, for some frequencies in the in-band of the filter, the transfer function of UWB is much larger than 1. Moreover, the oscillating propertThe experiments reveal, for the RF filter, the out-off-band transfer property under ultra wide band (UWB) pulses is essentially in agreement with that of continous wave (CW). However, for some frequencies in the in-band of the filter, the transfer function of UWB is much larger than 1. Moreover, the oscillating property is found in the time domain response of the filter. Therefore, based on the nonlinear passive intermodulation (PIM) and the Q-value, the response mechanisms of the filter are studied. The PIM of the filter shows nonlinear effects under the two different field strengths, which results in the limited universality of measurement results. Furthermore, the signal through the filter is predicted by making use of the two measured transfer functions. The predicting results under CW pulse are smaller than the measured ones in energy and peak power. In a word the response mechanisms of the filter under UWB pulse does differ from the that under CW pulse, i. e., the measured results of CW can’t be applied for the UWB effect analysis and evaluation..

Wenhua Guo, Ye Tao, and Rongzhu Zhang
A thermal damage analysis model of scratches and residual polishing particles on the optical surface is established. The thermal damage properties of optical materials under such complex defects are studied. The finite difference method was used to calculate the light field modulation and temperature field distributionA thermal damage analysis model of scratches and residual polishing particles on the optical surface is established. The thermal damage properties of optical materials under such complex defects are studied. The finite difference method was used to calculate the light field modulation and temperature field distribution of the optical material surface at different positions of the polished particles at different scales. According to the surface temperature distribution, the thermal damage threshold of the optical material under the corresponding conditions is achieved. The results show that in addition to the influence of the polishing particle radius on the material damage threshold, when the polishing particles are located at different positions in the scratch width direction, the thermal damage threshold of the material will also change significantly. Among them, the polishing particles in the center of the scratch have the strongest modulation on the light field, and are more likely to cause melting damage of the material..

Firstly, accTo solve the problem that the non-uniform distribution of extinction coefficients in the vertical direction of the atmosphere makes it difficult to directly measure the vertical visibility by traditional methods, this paper presents a method for calculating the vertical visibility based on lidar detection. Firstly, according to the basic principle of atmospheric radiation transmission and radiation transfer equation, it deduces the calculation formula of vertical visibility, which solves the problem that there is no specific formula for calculating vertical visibility. Secondly, it inverts the extinction coefficient distribution in the vertical direction of the atmosphere by using the lidar equation and Klett algorithm. On this basis, it proposes an iterative algorithm for vertical visibility. Finally, it uses the gray model GM(1,1) and batch statistics algorithm to evaluate the backscattering coefficient obtained by laser radar inversion, and gives the error confidence interval (0.760±0.339)×10?4(srad·km)?1. The results show that the method is a particularly effective one for calculating vertical visibility, which meets the basic requirements of detection, with small error and high precision..

Based on the principle of conduction-insulation heat, alternating stack epoxy resin composites with excellent thermal protection were prepared, the hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN: 5%, 15%, 25%) and expanded vermiculite (E-ver: 1%) are used as fillers for heat dissipation layer and thermal insulation layer, respectively. The thermal protection performance experiment was completed. The result shows that the temperature of the top center is 13?16 °C lower than that of the traditional materials, and the thermal delay time is greatly improved. An increase in the h-BN content causes an increase in the thermal protection properties of the composites. The thermal mechanism of the anisotropic stacked composites was explained..

Electrode erosion affects the trigger jitter during the lifetime of the switch, which in turn can affect the output characteristics of FLTD. Therefore, studying the impact of electrode erosion on the trigger jitter of the switch is of great significance to optimize the switch structure and predict the switch life. This paper studies the erosion characteristic of intermediate electrode of three-electrode switch, and the electrode materials are stainless steel and brass. The key factors affecting the lifetime of switch are obtained by considering the changing rules of trigger and erosion characteristics, which provides theoretical support for the optimization of the performance of the three-electrode switch. The results show that the erosion area and surface roughness of stainless steel and brass electrodes increase with discharge times. The brass electrode is ablated more seriously and the stainless steel electrode has higher surface roughness. With the increase of discharge times, the breakdown point moves to the electrode edge area, which affects the insulation performance of the switch..

The temperature rise of armature and coil will occur in the actual working process, and it is a major factor restricting the development of coil launcher to miniaturization and high speed. In this paper, the temperature Synchronous induction coil launcher mainly uses pulse current to supply power directly to the coil. The temperature rise of armature and coil will occur in the actual working process, and it is a major factor restricting the development of coil launcher to miniaturization and high speed. In this paper, the temperature rise model of electromagnetic coil is established. For single trigger, Comsol and self-programmed Coilgun are used to calculate, and the corresponding test platform is built to verify the temperature rise. The Comsol method with direct coupling is the most accurate method, and the change of material parameters with temperature can also be considered. The simulation results show that the temperature rise of armature is about 4.2 ℃ and the maximum temperature rise of coil is 7.7 ℃. Because of the limitation of measurement delay and sampling frequency of thermocouple temperature sensor, the armature temperature test curve can not measure the maximum temperature point in the simulation curve, it can record the temperature change curve in the whole test process. The change of temperature and the final stable temperature are basically consistent with that of the simulation. The maximum error is 6.1%, which shows the accuracy of the simulation. This study lays a foundation for subsequent multi-stage coil continuous launching..

The effects of plasma density, plasma thickness, plasma collision frequency and external magnetic field on the propagation characteristics of terahertz wave in plasma are analyzed using scattering matrix method. The results show that the propagation loss increases with plasma electron density and plasma thickness, while the transmittance decreases first and then increases with the increasing of collision frequency. When an external magnetic field is applied, the propagation characteristics of the left-handed polarized terahertz wave will be improved, while for the right-handed polarized terahertz wave, the application of magnetic field induces an absorption peak, which shifts to high frequency range with the increasing of magnetic induction intensity. This work may make a contribution to solving the problem of communication blackout..

The Drude-Lorentz theory model is used to solve the photoThis paper studies the interaction effect between the micro-structure photoconductive antenna (PCA) and femtosecond laser, the control of radiated terahertz (THz) wave, and the radiation regulation mechanism of the THz wave for the photoconductive antenna (PCA). The Drude-Lorentz theory model is used to solve the photocurrent density, which is then iterated to the excitation grid by FDTD method. And then the time-varying electromagnetic fields is solved by Maxwell’s equations. The radiated THz wave from the near field to far field in the multi-layer medium is got through the Green's Function of transmission line, and the relationship between the photocurrent and impedance of the radiation is established. At the same time, the relationship between the photocurrent and the magnetic resonance model is also established. The control mechanism of THz wave radiation from micro-structure S-shaped PCA is analyzed by simulation. The results show that the radiation impedance of the equivalent model is changed after split ring resonator (SRR) is introduced into the H-shaped PCA. Meanwhile, it is known that the coupling effect exists when the coupling coefficient is not zero. With the increasing of the coupling coefficient, and the radiation intensity of the resonance frequency peak increases and shifts. The adjusting range of the center frequency between 0.50?0.80 THz, the frequency modulation degree is 75%, and the peak radiation efficiency increases by 70% after simulating the S-shaped PCA. This work lays an important foundation for the design of THz wave resonance center frequency range and structure of high-power PCA..
