Charge coupled device(CCD) is one kind of photoelectric solid-state imaging device with excellent performance. It has the features of large array and good image quality. Working under very complex driving timing, it usually has low frame frequency and can not meet the demand of high imaging frame rate. The method of eqCharge coupled device(CCD) is one kind of photoelectric solid-state imaging device with excellent performance. It has the features of large array and good image quality. Working under very complex driving timing, it usually has low frame frequency and can not meet the demand of high imaging frame rate. The method of equivalent high frame rate imaging technique is introduced based on normal CCD in this paper. Some CCDs can be drived via electrodes separately. To meet the imaging demands of high frame rate, high resolution and high quality of two frame imaging technique for pulse light images, the right kind of CCDs should be adopted. The most important is that the CCD electrodes must be controlled directly and respectively. The charge transfer period is a key point while designing CCD driving timing for separate pulse light integration, charge package transfer and readout for two pulse light images. The validation experiments for the principle of equivalent high frame rate exposure of two pulse light images has been accomplished. It is shown that two pulse light images with interval of about 2 μs can be distinguished while all CCD’s inherent excellent performance are retained. A kind of two framing camera system with simple structure can be developed based on this principle..

The laser resistance of each filmAnnealing is one of the most accessible post-treatment techniques in high power laser coatings, however, the impact of annealing on laser resistance of the coatings is not clear until today. In this experiment, HfO2 films have been prepared by EBE, IBS and ALD techniques, respectively. The laser resistance of each film before and after annealing has been tested with the 1 064 nm Nd: YAG laser according to ISO 21254. It is found that the ALD HfO2 film has the highest LIDT, while the IBS HfO2 film has the lowest. It is also found that the laser resistance of all the samples does not benefit from the 300 ℃ annealing, moreover, the laser resistance of the ALD HfO2 film decreases tremendously after annealing at 500 ℃.

The spray cooling heat transfer coefficients and cooling uniformity effect in the single-phase region were obtained at different heat flux (16～110 W/cm2), flow rates (200～300 mL/min) and spray heights (15～25 mm). It is concluded from the experimental results that the cooling efficiency and temperature uniformity were significantly affected by the spray height and flow rate under different heat flux. The maximal heat transfer coefficient of 5.93 W/(cm2·K) was got at the spray height of 15 mm and flow rate of 200 mL/min, while the temperature uniformity could be greater than 0.6 ℃ with the heating area of 20 mm×20 mm at the spray height of 15 mm and flow rate of 250 mL/min..

The beam-parameter product is used as the index to evaluate the beam quality, and the feasibility of slow axis beam filling is demonstrated. By using ZEMAX simulation software, the comparison simulation of 8-way ladder type multi-single emitters diode laser array and 12-way filling array is carried out. On the premise of not affecting the coupling efficiency, the 12 single emitters diode laser with center wavelength of 860 nm and output power of 3 W is coupled into a fiber with core diameter of 105 um and numerical aperture of 0.22, the output power is 33.4 W and the coupling efficiency is 92.78%. The simulation results show that the slow axis beam filling can improve the power output of the diode laser to a certain extent..

Nodular defect is one of the most common defects that affect the laser damage resistance of optical thin films. It has been an important research object in the field of high power laser thin films at home and abroad. 45° multilayer mirrors with a central wavelength of 1 064 nm were designed and fabricated. ThroughNodular defect is one of the most common defects that affect the laser damage resistance of optical thin films. It has been an important research object in the field of high power laser thin films at home and abroad. 45° multilayer mirrors with a central wavelength of 1 064 nm were designed and fabricated. Through numerical simulations and experiments, the electric field enhancement effect(EFEE) caused by nodular defect and its influence on the laser damage resistance of the film were studied. The results show that when the 1 064 nm laser is incident obliquely from right to left at 45°, the EFEE mainly appears in the surface layer of the nodular defect and the middle of its left profile. The EFEE increases with the size of nodule defect. In the experiment, mono-disperse SiO2 microspheres were sprayed on the surface of clean substrates as the artificial nodule seeds, the multilayer high reflection coatings were prepared by electron beam evaporation, and the laser damage resistance of the samples was tested by R-on-1 method. By comprehensively analyzing the experiment results, it is concluded that the damage threshold reduction of coatings is due to the nodular defects and micro-defects in the coatings, and the damage threshold of coatings decreases with the increase of nodular defect size..

The femtosecond laser can be used to precisely process energetic materials or assemblies containing energetic materials. Deep understanding of the thermal effects within the explosives during femtosecond laser ablation is the basis for the development of the safe processing technology of explosives using femtosecond laser. A fluid-solid coupling calculation model of single-pulse femtosecond laser ablation of explosives was established to study the combined thermal effect of the thermal radiation of the plasma and the autothermal reaction of the explosives. The hydrodynamic process of femtosecond laser ablation on TNT was calculated. The results show that in the unablated zones of the explosive, significant thermal effect was detected, and the peak temperature is higher than that of ignition. Due to the small zones affected by the thermal effect and its extremely short duration time, the temperature in the explosive drops quickly, thus the explosive is not ignited..

Based on a typical vehicle platform, the effect mechanism of electronic control unit(ECU) in the environment of high electromagnetic pulses is analyzed. The relationship between the working state of the engine on the vehicle platform and the coupling voltage on the power supply line of the ECU is analyzed through the wide-band high electromagnetic pulse irradiation test of the vehicle platform. The test results show that the wide-band electromagnetic pulses cause electromagnetic interference to the vehicle ECU through the power cable, which leads to the engine flameout. According to the analysis results, a multi-level protection circuit is designed for the DC power supply of the ECU. The electromagnetic safety protection is realized by cutting off the transmission path of electromagnetic pulse energy, and the effectiveness of the protection circuit is verified..

Using tTo evaluate Electromagnetic Environment Effects (E3) of the vehicle ignition pulses on High Frequency Receiving Station (HFRS), a model of the vehicle ignition circuit has been analyzed, and frequency spectrums of the noises induced by a car and a truck at the moment of their engine being ignited were measured. Using the method-of-moments-based electromagnetic simulation tool, we have modeled the ignition-equivalent antennas by a car and a truck respectively and obtained their transmission loss fluctuation curves in the transmission path to a 10 m long monopole receiving antenna. In comparison, E3 of the engine ignition by two cars and a truck on HFRS in the countryside was measured. Simulation shows that the least transmission loss from the car and truck to the 10 m monopole antenna located 30 and 100 m away occurs at 7.5 MHz, which is 24 dB and 32.2 dB respectively. This measurement indicates that the emitting signal induced by the engine ignition of the truck is 14 dB higher than that of the car. In the distance of 30 m from the vehicle, the noise floor in the low frequency band is raised 1?2 dB. When the distance is increased to 100 m, the effect can be neglected..

Lai Wei, Yong Chen, Shaoyi Wang, Quanping Fan, Qiangqiang Zhang, Zhong Zhang, Zhanshan Wang, and Leifeng Cao
Advances in basic and applied research of conventional grating have been attracting much attention from optical engineering community. However, the higher orders diffraction contamination degrades the spectral purity obtained by conventional gratings seriously. Many designs of single-order or quasi-single-order gratingAdvances in basic and applied research of conventional grating have been attracting much attention from optical engineering community. However, the higher orders diffraction contamination degrades the spectral purity obtained by conventional gratings seriously. Many designs of single-order or quasi-single-order gratings have been proposed to suppress higher-order diffraction contributions, however, their inhibitive effects on the higher order diffractions are restrained by the processing accuracy unavoidably. In this paper, we propose a grating that incorporates a quasi-periodical array of rectangular holes, and achieves larger tolerance of processing errors compared with the previously designed gratings by optimizing the probability density distribution function of the holes. This paper describes an analytical study of the diffraction property of this grating. Theoretical calculations reveal that the grating completely suppresses the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th orders diffractions, and the ratio of the 5th order diffraction efficiency to that of the 1st is as low as 0.01% even if relative errors for hole sizes exceed 20%, which greatly decreases the required processing accuracy..

This method calculates the bunch-by-bunch phase by perfTo further improve the accuracy of phase measurement, the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility (SSRF) Beam Instrumentation (BI) Group proposed a new signal processing method, the correlation function method, based on the bunch-by-bunch phase measurement system. This method calculates the bunch-by-bunch phase by performing pattern matching directly on all sampling points of the oscilloscope in the time domain. The advantage is that the data processing is only limited by the oscilloscope bandwidth, and more BPM (Beam Position Monitor) harmonic signals can be retained. The results show that increasing the BPM signal processing bandwidth can effectively remove the crosstalk between bunches and reduce the system measurement error caused by signal reflection. The principal component analysis (PCA) method is used to evaluate the phase measurement resolution, the larger bunch charge, the better the resolution. The precise phase dependence between the bunches can also be used to analyze the beam wake field and impedance in the storage ring..

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), water contact angle measurement, surface resistivity measurement and surface potential attenuation measurement were performed on the samples of PTFE material before and after injection to analyze the changes in surface composition and physical properties of PTFE samples after ion implantation treatment. Based on the theory of isothermal surface potential attenuation, the energy levels and density distributions of the surface traps were calculated. The results show that after nitrogen ion implantation, the main change in the chemical composition of the surface of the PTFE material is the destruction and conversion of its own molecular structure, and part of the CF2 structure is transformed into the CF and CF3 structures, resulting in shallower trap levels on the sample surface. The results also show that the water contact angle rose to about 140°, which is about 27° higher than that of the unprocessed sample. The surface resistivity drops to 3×1015 Ω, which is two orders of magnitude lower than that of the unprocessed samples. After 1 min of corona discharge on the surface, the amount of accumulated charge on the surface of the PTFE material processed with nitrogen ion implantation decreased, and the rate of dissipation increased. This is because the lower surface trap level is conducive to surface charge trapping, and the reduction in surface resistivity also promotes the dissipation process of surface charge along the surface. The curve of trap level distribution on the surface of PTFE sample also confirmed this..

Based on the theoretical analysis of electron on metal surface, the variation of surface electric field of cathode rod with diode voltage is calculated by finite element method. Experimental system is designed and experimental research is carried out. The experiment compares the vacuum breakdown threshold of TC4 of titanium alloy under different kinds of dielectric films (film thickness 30?60 μm), when the pulse width is about 30 ns and the gap between cathode rod and anode tube is 12 mm. The TC4 cathode rods with a surface roughness Rz (maximum outline height) of 0.8 μm are plated with epoxy resin and acrylic acid film respectively. The experimental results show that the breakdown threshold of the acrylic acid coated cathode rod is about 505 kV/cm. Compared with the uncoated cathode rod, the breakdown field strength is increased by about 20.6%; The TC4 cathode rods with surface roughness Rz of 0.2 μm are plated with polyimide film and polyether-ether-ketol film respectively. The experimental results show that the breakdown threshold of the polyimide film coated rod is about 584 kV/cm. The breakdown field strength is enhanced by approximately 28.1%, relative to the non-coated cathode rod. Therefore, coating acrylic acid film and polyimide film on the surface of metal cathode rod can effectively improve the vacuum breakdown threshold of metal rod..

While keeping the basic characteristics of LCC resonant network, the converter is provided with zero gain point, which makes the converter have the functions of load short-circuit protection and slow start. Compared with LCC resonant converter, the new converter’s working frequency adjustment range is narrower, which is conducive to magnetic integration and power density improvement. The characteristics of high-order LCC-LC resonator are analyzed by fundamental wave analysis and impedance analysis. Based on the analysis, the working range is divided to ensure that the LCC-LC resonant converter can realize soft switch in a wide load range. Aiming at efficient operation of the LCC-LC resonant converter, parameters are optimized. Finally, the functions of the converter are verified by the simulation and the experimental data of the 1 kW prototype..

Simulated region (34 cm×34 cm×18 cm) incAs electron transportation in vacuum convolute structure plays a quite important role during current converging process on pulsed power facility, fully three-dimensional (3D) particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations are performed using NEPTUNE3D code to explore this process. Simulated region (34 cm×34 cm×18 cm) including the double post-hole convolute (DPHC) structure is modeled and calculated with the help of high-performance computing clusters. The calculated results including the distributions of magnetic field nulls, trajectory of electron transportation, electrons lost on surfaces of anode posts, and time-integrated electron energy deposition damaging around the magnetic null areas between posts and holes, agree with the experimental ones from the large-scale pulsed power facility. According to the calculations, maximum current loss (437 kA, 27%) happens at early time (about 15 ns), while the loss drops dramatically to only 0.48% (34 kA) when current peaks at 53 ns (7.12 MA), at this time the magnetic insulations of transforming lines have been fully established, which also proves that the DPHC structure has especially high efficiency on high-density current converging..

The muzzle velocity of the armature will fluctuate in a certain range. To improve the precision of the muzzle velocity of the armature, based on the character of the uncertainty of friction and ablation degree of armature and rail, this paper presents a simulation model for the open loop control of the armature in the bore, considering the dynamic characteristics of the circuit model and armature. The relationship between the discharge time interval and muzzle velocity of the armature is obtained by simulation, the armature velocity closed loop control model is put forward, and the feasible scheme of armature velocity control is explored. The simulation results show that the closed-loop control can improve the control precision of the muzzle velocity of the armature..
