Design and study of atmospheric pressure microwave plasma jet
Hui Pan, Ge Wang, and Yang Yang
Two atmospheric pressure microwave plasma jet (MW-APPJ) devices with different nozzle structures are designed which are based on the coaxial transmission line structure. The frequency is 2.45 GHz and working gas is argon. What's more, the effects of two different nozzle structures on the characteristics of plasma dTwo atmospheric pressure microwave plasma jet (MW-APPJ) devices with different nozzle structures are designed which are based on the coaxial transmission line structure. The frequency is 2.45 GHz and working gas is argon. What's more, the effects of two different nozzle structures on the characteristics of plasma discharge have been studied. Based on the electromagnetic field simulation results, the MW-APPJ generates a high-intensity electric field at the nozzle. After optimizing the structure, the field strength at the nozzle have reached the breakdown field strength required for argon ionization under the frequency of 2.45 GHz. Meanwhile, the simulation of the argon flow distribution was carried out under steady-state using multi-physics coupling simulation software. In addition, the basic characteristics of the atmospheric pressure argon plasma jet under the two nozzle structures were compared and analyzed through experiments. The experimental results show that different nozzle structures can affect the variation of reflection parameter with input power, but do not affect the variation of plasma jet length with input power and the variation of reflected power with inlet flow; at the same time, under atmospheric pressure, the steady-state microwave plasma jet exhibits metal-like property and the electrons in the plasma can only absorb microwave energy in a very thin area, which causes large reflected power of the microwave..

The formula works for electron beams in a two-bunch plasma wakefield acceleration stage in the so-called nonlinear bubble regime. It only requires the longitudinal profile of the trailing beam and the longitudinal wakefield within the trailing beam at the beginning of an acceleration. This formula not only works well for drive beams and trailing beams with the same initial energies, but is also available for those beams with different initial energies. We find that the relative energy spread of the trailing beam obtained from the formula is determined by the ratio of the trailing beam’s initial energy to the drive beam’s initial energy rather than the specific value of their initial energies. We perform several computational simulations using the quasi-static particle-in-cell code QuickPIC, and the results agree well with that calculated from the formula..

At the same time, the self-focusing characteristics, the variation of peak intensity and B-integral in Kerr medium are also analyzed. The research results show that after the square super-Gaussian beam passes through the Kerr medium, there are different degrees of intensity enhancement and depression at different distances from the center of the beam, the intensity enhancement and depression are weak near the beam center, strong at the edge and four corners of the beam, and they are stronger in the diagonal direction than in the axial center direction. Reducing the order can slow down the edge intensity enhancement of the beam and the growth of the B-integral. Reducing the thickness of the Kerr medium can reduce the intensity enhancement of the beam edge and the size of the B-integral. It is proposed that the main reason for the fluctuation of the edge intensity of the beam probably be the coherent superposition of the beam..

The effects of the laser pulse duration and the number of pulses on the ablation threshold of Ni-based superalloy were experimentally investigated. In this experiment, Ni-based superalloy samples were irradiated by 1, 10, 50, 100, 300, 500 and 1000 laser pulses with different pulse duration, respectively, and pulse durThe effects of the laser pulse duration and the number of pulses on the ablation threshold of Ni-based superalloy were experimentally investigated. In this experiment, Ni-based superalloy samples were irradiated by 1, 10, 50, 100, 300, 500 and 1000 laser pulses with different pulse duration, respectively, and pulse duration 290 fs, 1 ps and 7 ps were explored. The diameter of ablation holes expands with the increase of laser pulse and the effect of pulse number on the diameter of ablation holes increases with the pulse duration from the experiments. By analyzing the relationship between the diameter of ablation holes and laser pulse energy, multi-pulse ablation threshold of Ni-based superalloy irradiated by ultrafast laser with different pulse duration can be obtained. No matter what the pulse duration of the laser was, the incubation effects of multi-pulse irradiation on the surface of the superalloy were significant. And the incubation coefficient for the thresholds calculated by diameter respectively in 290 fs, 1 ps, and 7 ps is fitted to be 0.88, 0.86 and 0.78..

However, the space radiation will bring color centers in Yb-doped fiber materials, thus increasing the inherent loss of the fiber. As a result, the optical properties of typical fiber-based components and the fiber lasers will be deteriorated, which makes it difficult for high power fiber lasers to achieve long-term stable operation in space environment. In this paper, a detailed introduction from three main aspects is given.

Baolai Yang, Hanwei Zhang, Peng Wang, Xiaoming Xi, Xiaolin Wang, [in Chinese], and Jinbao Chen
Narrow linewidth fiber lasers (NLFLs) are widely employed in application of beam combining. However, the power scaling of the NLFL are severely limited by the transverse mode instability (TMI) effect. In this work, we have verified that the TMI threshold of narrow linewidth fiber amplifier can be enhanced by employing Narrow linewidth fiber lasers (NLFLs) are widely employed in application of beam combining. However, the power scaling of the NLFL are severely limited by the transverse mode instability (TMI) effect. In this work, we have verified that the TMI threshold of narrow linewidth fiber amplifier can be enhanced by employing a 981 nm pump scheme. By constructing a 981 nm counter-pumped fiber amplifier, the output power of single mode NLFL is scaled to over 4 kW. In the experiment, the narrow linewidth seed laser is white noise signal phase modulated single frequency laser, and the main amplifier has two types of laser diodes at wavelengths of 976 nm and 981 nm as counter-pump. When the 976 nm laser diodes are employed, the NLFL is scaled to a maximum of 3.4 kW, which is limited by the occurrence of TMI effect. When the 981nm laser diodes are employed, the NLFL is scaled to 4.05 kW without any sign of TMI. The M2 factor of the output laser is 1.3. Further power scaling of the fiber amplifier is only limited by the available pump power. By optimizing the fiber laser design and employing bidirectional-pump, NLFL with higher power is achievable..

The traditional shielded small-loop antenna introduces radial asymmetry due to the output end structure, and it is difficult to avoid electric field interference. In response to this, this paper has developed a pulsed magnetic field sensor based on a dual-loop differential structure, which is composed of a dual-loop antenna and an optical transmission system. According to the distribution electromagnetic characteristics of the near-field, the dual-loop antenna chooses to be placed in parallel mirror symmetry, so that the terminal voltage can be divided into the magnetic field response component and the electric field response component, and then the electric field response component is removed by the differential circuit to obtain the pure magnetic field response component. Experiments have shown that in the nearby lightning strike electromagnetic field environment simulator, the dual-loop sensor has stronger anti-interference capability than the single-loop sensor, and can achieve accurate magnetic field measurement..

Firstly, the telegraph equation of transmission line is transformed into an ordinary differential equation. Secondly, the extension function of the telegraph equation is obtained by Chebyshev polynomial, and then the fluctuation range of terminal voltage is obtained. Compared with the mixed polynomial method and MC (Monte Carlo) method, this method only needs to input the range of fluctuation of random parameters. The multi-conductor wire beam with random variation of height and spacing under electromagnetic pulse irradiation was simulated. The simulation results show that the distance has little effect on terminal voltage, and the terminal voltage is more sensitive to height. Under the condition that the calculated results are in agreement with each other, the computation time of Chebyshev polynomial approximation method is much less than that of MC method..

At the operating frequency of 11.424 GHz, the RF load with the VSWR (voltage standing wave ratio) of less than 1.1 and high power absorption capacity needs to be developed. The software CST (Computer Simulation Technology) is used to design the loads. For the cylindrical water chamber water load, the design VSWRs are 1.0325 and 1.0533; At 50 MW peak power, the peak field intensities are 21.16 MV/m and 17.57 MV/m; the test VSWRs are 1.0582 and 1.0763. The effect of dielectric properties of ceramic and water on VSWR is also investigated. For the cylinder-shaped water load, the simulation results show that it has a high power tolerance level. For the dry load, the length of the load and the structure of the absorbing tooth are optimized to make it more convenient for machining. The results of thermal stress analysis calculated by ANSYS show that the maximum temperature and stress are 83.478 ℃ and 63.917 MPa respectively, and the maximum deformation is 0.072 971 mm..

In this paper, a shared-aperture planar phased array antenna operated at C and Ku band with wide-angle scan and high-power capacity is designed. The proposed phased array contains a printed dipole element-based 4×4 C-band array and a Ku-band array composed of 9×8 hybrid zeroth-order resonance patch elements. In this paper, a shared-aperture planar phased array antenna operated at C and Ku band with wide-angle scan and high-power capacity is designed. The proposed phased array contains a printed dipole element-based 4×4 C-band array and a Ku-band array composed of 9×8 hybrid zeroth-order resonance patch elements. The wide-angle scanning performance of the designed phased array attributes the success to the wide-beam radiation of the dual-band elements. The bottom zeroth-order resonance patch element can not only be used as the Ku-band wide-beam radiation element, but also supplies the zero-phased reflection for the C-band printed dipoles which generate the wide-beam patterns based on the image theory. Furthermore, the antenna is designed with all metals buried by substrates to avoid air breakdown, and thus to improve the power capacity of the phased array. Full-wave simulation results show that the designed array can obtain a ±45° beam scan with its gain fluctuation less than 3 dB in both C and Ku bands, and the power capacity of the array reaches 18.9 MW when the total input power is 1 W..

However, it is vulnerable to the impact of high-energy electron radiation in space environment, resulting in performance degradation and abnormal operation. For this problem, a domestic N-channel three-phase polysilicon CCD with an overlapping gate and frame-transfer structure is selected to study the effect of electron irradiation. The models were established by FLUKA for Si and SiO2 irradiated with electrons, which are the composition material of CCD. We simulated the physical process of electrons and material interaction and calculated the total mass stopping power and range of different energy electron beams in Si and SiO2, then compared them with the theoretical results, and the correctness of the simulation method is verfied. A three-dimensional model of CCD pixel array was established. The effects of electron irradiation with different energy on the energy deposition process of electrons in CCD and the effect of between pixels on DPA (Displacement Per Atom) of electrons in CCD pixels were simulated and calculated. The mechanism of radiation damage difference is analyzed respectively..

After the grids were handled equivalently, the modal analysis and impact response spectrum analysis of ion thruster were carried out based on finite element analysis. The modal analysis results were validated by the fundamental frequency sweep test. Finally, the impact response of the thruster after adopting the damping structure was simulated and verified by experiments. The obtained results indicate that after the grids assembly being handled equivalently, the analysis results’ difference are about 8.3%-11.9%. The modal analysis result shows that the base frequencies of the thruster in the x, y and z directions are 246, 248 and 336 Hz respectively. The grids and middle magnet pole are the weak links in the mechanics of the ion thruster and affect the overall structural stability. The 1600g response spectrum analysis results indicate that 1600g, the surface stress of the grids concentrates on the rim of the aperture region, furthermore the deformation largely occurs in this region. When the vibration damping effect with the stiffness of 1000 kN/m is taken, the overall deformation of the grids is reduced by 60%-82%. Mechanical test results show that, during the low-frequency scanning process of 10-1200 Hz, the base frequencies of the thruster x, y and z directions are 256, 258 and 348 Hz respectively, basically consistent with the simulation results. Secondly, the 20 cm diameter ion thruster with damping measures passed the 1600 g impact test..

Furthermore, it is also difficult to adjust the coupling factor for adjustable beam injectors. In this paper, an equivalent circuit model is established for the coupler with a tuning rod. Based on theoretical analysis, the optimal position for the rod is given. Besides, the frequency shifting is corrected by using another rod inserted to the cavity in the opposite direction. Sizes and adjustment ranges of both rods are given by three-dimensional electromagnetic simulation using CST MICROWAVE STUDIO. Jointly adjusted simulation results show that, critical-coupled states are achieved for different beam intensity while the resonant frequency remains stable, thus the risk of reflected power caused by coupler mismatching can be avoided, and the field asymmetry due to a small coupling hole can be reduced..

Firstly, the finite element simulation model of an 8-stage Marx generator is established, and the stress concentration positions are identified. Secondly, the finite element model is corrected according to the initial results of shaking table test. Then an optimization scheme is proposed to modify the Marx generator. As a result, the first-order frequency of the Marx generator is increased from 15.4 Hz to 19.7 Hz. It is helpful to reduce the dynamic response in vertical direction and enhance the mechanical environment adaptability. Results show that more attention should be paid to the reliability in vertical direction when a Marx generator is being designed. The connection of the generator is stable in the vibration experiment, and the stresses mainly concentrate on the corner pieces between the generator and the U-shape support plates, the connections between U-shape support plates and side support plates, and the switch junctions, which are the weak points in design..
