Zheng Li, and Qian Jun
We investigate the phase coherence of bosons in a double-well trap with a random energy mismatch that is used to mimic disorder in the presence of effective three-body interaction.

It is found that, in such a double-well disordered Bose-Hubbard model, the renormalized three-body interaction can enhance the phase coherence of the bosonic system in the presence of disorder. The dependence of the average phase coherence on the effective three-body interaction in the situation of strong disorder is also studied. To our best knowledge, it is the first time that the effective three-body interaction is investigated in the context of disordered quantum gases..

The hysteresis of TTM is modeled by using back propagation (BP) neural network via the response data of TTM. We simulate the process of hysteresis response and compute the voltage applied to TTM in real time, so as to achieve the forward compensation control of TTM. In order to meet the real time intention, we use the function form of BP neural network instead of time-consuming simulation operation, which increases the computing speed and insures the operation precision. The results show that by using this compensation approach the hysteresis nonlinearity is reduced by about 70%. Moreover, the global linearity and the controlling accuracy are obviously improved..

Wang Canjin, Sun Tao, Wang Rui, Wang Tingfeng, and Chen Juan

The noisy image is decomposed using singular valTo suppress speckle noise efficiently and achieve less time consuming in laser active imaging, a denoising method based on spectrum-domain constraint in signal subspace is proposed. Homomorphic transform is performed to convert the multiplicative noise to additive noise. The noisy image is decomposed using singular value decomposing to estimate the dimension of signal subspace. Based on the dimension, the covariance matrix of the noisy image is decomposed using eigenvalue decomposing to estimate the covariance of speckle noise with the eigenvector in noise subspace. After that the denoising estimating matrix is computed with the eigenvector in signal subspace and is convolved with the noisy image. Inverse homomorphic transform is carried out and the denoised image is obtained. In order to eliminate the effect of backscatter and background radiation, a laser active imaging system based on range gating ICCD is constructed. The experiment is performed using images with speckle noise in different levels and the results show that compared with classical Lee, Frost and Kuan filters, the proposed method has advanced denoising performance and the computing time is in millisecond level, which meets the requirement of real-time operation for laser active imaging..

However, the matrix usually used, like Gaussian matrix, Bernoulli matrix etc, is difficult to realize for hardware. Aiming at the feasibility and the real-time of compressive sensing for embedded vision system, a simple deterministic 0-1 observation matrix is proposed, which is based on the related work of sparse transform vectorization, the characteristic of wavelet sparsity, and the pseudo-random sequence observation matrix construction. For N×N image, when the observation matrix dimension is M×N, the matrix is consist of M base vectors and the vector size is N. The base vector has only one element of 1 and the other elements are 0. So the formed observation matrix is simple and the integral circuit can be omitted in the real measurement. Base vectors are arranged according to the position of element 1 in vector from 1 to M to form a deterministic observation matrix, which is easy to remember and store the matrix, and also helpful for reconstruction..

The distortion mapping function is solved by ray tracing. The high alignment accuracy between the calibration result and the mirror surface is realized with feature points on the mirror, and calibration points are utilized to test the correction error. An off-axis asphere with size of 800 mm×600 mm is tested. After mapping distortion correction, the position error between the test result and the prototype′s profile is reduced from 80 mm to less than 1 mm. The corrected output is applied to polish the mirror by ion beam and its accuracy [represented by root-mean-square (RMS) error] is 0.0162λ (λ=0.6328 μm)..

The transient temperature and velocity field as well as the forces acting on tungsten particles are obtained, and the metallurgy behavior in the laser-powder interaction zone is analyzed. The results indicate that when the laser power P ranges from 600 W to 900 W, the value of velocity field angle θ decreases from 50° to 0°, implying the enhancement of heat transfer from laser center to edge of molten pool. Under the condition of a stationary laser beam, P≥800 W, or for a moving laser beam, linear energy density η=16 kJ/m, there exists the second flow around the tungsten particles, leading to the formation of pressure acting on the tungsten particle induced by the pressure difference. As the included angle of attractive force and pressure is acute angle, tungsten particles tend to form small-scaled rim structure and the rearrangement rate is limited, accordingly tending to form segregation structure. Otherwise, tungsten particles tend to form large-scaled rim structure and the rearrangement is efficient, contributing to the formation of homogeneously distributed structure..

The strain of the specimen is extractedAn austenite NiTi shape memory alloy is processed by laser shock peening (LSP), and the mechanical properties is investigated. It is found that the thickness of shock affected layer is about 300 μm. The surface hardness of the specimen is increased by approximately 10% after LSP. The strain of the specimen is extracted from the images recorded in the tension by the digital image correlation technique in order to obtain the stress-strain curves. The superelastic stress-strain curves of the fully LSP processed NiTi material show no change in phase transition stress, the martensite yield stress decreases to about 100 MPa, and a loss of maximum transition strain about 13% after LSP. The ultrahigh-strain-rate plastic deformation by LSP results in dense dislocation underneath the surface which is responsible for the hardness increase and superelastic strain loss..

The part of 10% CoCrMo volume fraction is crackles, while 20%, 30% parts crack seriously. Advanced investigations are made on the cracking of 20%, 30% CoCrMo volume fraction parts from three aspects: fracture morphology, microstructure and residual stress. The results show that the cracking of gradient material is a kind of cold cracking. The fracture displays the features of quasi-cleavage and transgranular. Reasons of the cracking mainly include of Ti6Al4V and CoCrMo form limited solid solution, increasing the brittle of the material. With the content of CoCrMo increasing, the microstructure of the Ti6Al4V-CoCrMo gradient material changes. Around the Ti6Al4V-CoCrMo limited solid solution network CoCrMo precipitated, not only the possibility of stress concentration improves, leading to crack source appearing in some cases, but also the stress due to the differences of thermal physcial parameters of two materials increases..

The results indicThe influence of welding parameters on weld depth and porosity is investigated in partial penetration fiber laser welding using 7 kW fiber laser, and the relationship between weld and keyhole depthes is discussed. The suppression of porosity is also investigated using triangular wave power modulation. The results indicate that the keyhole depth coincides approximately with the weld depth in laser welding. The weld depth and the porosity reduce with the welding speed increasing. When the defocus distance is 0, the weld depth and porosity ratio reach the maximums, whereas both of them decrease as the laser focus position is off the sample surface. In a wide range of pulse frequency (20~125 Hz), the porosity is effectively suppressed by triangular wave power modulation for fiber laser welding, and the optimal frequency is 60 Hz. The keyhole behavior is analyzed by X-ray transmission imaging system to find that the stabilization of keyhole is promoted by power modulation, which results in the suppression of porosity..

The fracture morphologies of 40CrNiMo before and after laser quenching are investigated by scanning electron microscope. The mechanism of laser quenching on 40CrNiMo′s fatigue strength is analyzed. The results show that a layer of hardened zone, martensite and compressive residual stress after laser quenching is formed on the sample surface, and the fatigue strength of 40CrNiMo is increased significantly from 626 MPa to 715 MPa, increasing by 14.2%. The fatigue crack sources of the sample in quenching and tempering state are produced in the surface, while that are transferred to the subsurface after laser quenching. The fatigue crack sources expand slowly to be fracture. Grain refinement and compressive residual stress by laser quenching are the main mechanism..

The relation between the pressure of laser-induced plasma acoustic wave and the expansion velocity of shock wave is analyzed theoretically. Then the experimental research of aluminum target irradiated by the laser with the wavelength of 1064 nm and 355 nm is developed. The experimental results show that the lifetime of plasma acoustic wave is on the millisecond order, and the peak intensity of plasma acoustic wave decays exponentially. It is found in the experiment that the signal amplitude of plasma acoustic wave generated by the laser irradiation on aluminum target increases with laser power density increasing. However, the peak intensity of plasma acoustic wave appears jump stage twice while laser power density increases. From this it can be determined that the ignition threshold range of LSDW is (3.95～13.05)×108 W/cm2 for 1064 nm and (3.14～10.07)×108 W/cm2 for 355 nm laser pulse. Furthermore, the wavelength effect on the ignition threshold of LSDW is analyzed..

Experimental results show that the filler wire method can improve the defects of laser spot welding of aluminum. The angle of the filler wire is the key factor which influences the stability of the process of the melt wire into the pool. When the wire is feed at an angle of 30° or so, the feed process is most stable. The delay time is one of the main factors which determine the pool size. When the delay time is too short, the filler wire can be easily accumulated on the surface of the specimen. The volume of the wire feed into the pool is directly related to the improved effect of collapse..

Such coating is investigated by means of a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and a high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). Experimental results indicate that a large amount of nanocrystals-amorphous phases are produced in such composite coating. The nanocrystalline/amorphous interface owns a high bonding energy, which retards the growth of the nanocrystals in a certain extent; and the production of the nanocrystals lead the enhancement of free energy on the crystal boundary, which increases the density of point defect, causing the lattice distortions of the coating. Amorphous, nanocrystals and the other crystalline phases coexist in such coating. Such coating exhibits a better wear resistance than that of a TA15-2 substrate, and the main wear mechanisms of the coating are abrasive grain wear and the adhere wear..

By testing the flexural property and analyzing the metallic phase, the influence of the laser linear energy density on flexural properties of repaired samples and microscopic mechanism of flexural property change are studied. The results indicate that the flexural strength of repaired samples is close to that of original sample and basically achieves flexural property of original sample. When q=120.0 J/mm2, the flexural strength of 827.16 MPa is maximum and has a 0.5 percent larger than that of original sample. With laser linear energy increasing, the flexural strength of repaired samples first increases and then decreases. The flexural property decreases at a higher laser energy density of 154.3 J/mm2 due to the coarsening of repaired area dendrites..

Whereas the characterization ignores the effects of laser parameters. Taking C/SiC composite material as an example, by using a program for the numerical simulation of laser ablation of composite material, the ablation heat of C/SiC composite material is computed for different laser parameters. Effects of intensity, repetitive frequency and duty radio are analyzed. The result indicates that ablation heat is mainly correlated with intensity and duty cycle of the irradiating laser beams. More intensive laser beam causes more severe ablation. Ablation of unit mass requires more than average incident energy if duty cycle of the laser pulses decreases. In addition, it is realized that the repetitive frequency rate of laser has minor effect on ablation as long as average beam intensity and duty cycle are fixed. For C/SiC material, introducing of some instabilities into laser beams would enhance the ablation process, which leads to low ablation heat..

With certain welding power and top protection gas with certain flow rate, the influences of the welding speeding, defocus, butt joint gap and the flow rate of bottom shielding gas on welding quality by changing the single variable are discussed. The results show that adopting some reasonable technology measures can efficiently improve the welding quality, make the welding surface smooth and well-distributed, and reduce following machining amount after being welded. Tensile test shows that ductile fracture happens in parent metal place, far away from the weld. The maximum tensile stress is 809 MPa, and the mechanical performance of the weld is good..

A physical model based on CCEColored conical emission (CCE) is an attractive nonlinear phenomenon, which is induced during intense ultra-short pulses propagating in nonlinear medium. A detailed experimental study on the generation of CCE in type-Ⅰ β-barium borate (BBO) crystal pumped by femtosecond pulses is reported. A physical model based on CCE is constructed, it numerically calculates the conical angle with different wavelengths and the spectral characteristics of CCE is analyzed.

A high power linearly polarized picosecond pulse ytterbium-doped all-fiber laser based on a seed of mode-locked fiber laser with a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror is reported. The fiber laser is constructed with a two-stage master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) configuration. Stable mode-locked pulse train occurs when the incident pump power increasing and the pulse repetition rate is 40 MHz in a ring cavity configuration. Increasing the incident pump power to 200 mW, the maximum output average power is 12 mW. The pulse width is measured to be 20 ps. The center wavelength and the spectrum bandwidth are 1038.2 nm and 1.7 nm, respectively. The steep edge in the optical spectrum is a clear indication of the dissipative solitons (DSs) in this all-normal-dispersion mode-locked fiber laser. After two-stage fiber amplifier with the polarization maintaining double-cladding ytterbium-doped fiber as the gain medium, 5 W average output power is achieved, corresponding to a single pulse energy of 125 nJ and a peak power of 6.25 kW, respectively. No undesirable nonlinear processes such as stimulated Raman scattering are observed. At this high output power, the spectrum bandwidth and the pulse width are measured to be 3.1 nm and 20 ps, respectively, and the polarization extinction ratio is 20 dB..

A stream of fluorescence images is simply acquired, and single fluorophore is detected by subtracting each frame from the previous one. After image subtractions, a superresolution image is got by fitting images of single fluorescent molecules with a point dispersion function method to localize them. Then this method is used to image the human embryonic kidney cells with the conventional fluorescent probe Alex 488. Compared with the conventional fluorescence microscope, the resolution increases about 40%, showing that it works with the sample with conventional fluorescent probes and can break the diffraction limit. Also it overcomes the weakness of conventional techniques based on the precise localization of single molecules, which needs to activate and quench the fluorescent molecules repeatedly, and can not be applied to conventional fluorescent samples..

The simulation results show that the FBG bandwidth increases with refractive index modulation increasing, while it decreases dramatically and then saturates with grating length The bandwidth characteristics of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) made with femtosecond laser radiation are studied theoretically and experimentally. The simulation results show that the FBG bandwidth increases with refractive index modulation increasing, while it decreases dramatically and then saturates with grating length increasing. FBGs are fabricated in silica fiber with femtosecond laser radiation and a phase mask and then characterized by spectral analyser. FBG bandwidth remains constant when the laser power is low. However, when the laser power is large enough, FBG bandwidth increases with laser power increasing. With the exposure time increasing, FBG bandwidth increases initially and then become saturated. These results can be attributed to the change of the refractive index modulation and the grating length with femtosecond radiation..

The foAccording to the theory of multi-carrier generation based on recirculating frequency shifter (RFS), a modified scheme for multi-carrier generation to improve signal to noise ratio (SNR) through noise suppression by inserting an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer (AMZI) in the RFS loop is proposed creatively. The formulas of optical signal power and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise power after AMZI are deduced. According to the assumption that the AMZI arms optical path difference is much shorter than the coherence length of the laser and longer than the coherence length of the ASE noise, ASE noise is reduced by 3 dB without affecting the optical signals power simultaneously. 50 output subcarriers are generated with both simulation and experiment confirmations, respectively. The results show that carrier to noise ratio of the multi-carrier generated by the improved scheme can be as high as 37.5 dB and is up to 17.5 dB higher than the traditional structures..
