A completely statistical description, i.e., the probability density functions of the fluctuation of the received photons, is presented which takes into account most of optical processes. On this basis, a series of characteristic quantities of the received photons, including average value, fluctuation variance, cumulative probability function, and so on, are calculated in the general conditions of the atmospheric turbulence. With these characteristic quantities, a performance evaluation of the LLR adaptive-optics system is obtained quantitatively..

In order to investigate the effect of laser shock processing (LSP) on impact toughness of AZ31B magnesium alloy, AZ31B magnesium alloy samples are treated by using NdYAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, a pulse width of 15 ns, a pulse energy of 10 J and a spot diameter of 3 mm. The surface layer structures of laser In order to investigate the effect of laser shock processing (LSP) on impact toughness of AZ31B magnesium alloy, AZ31B magnesium alloy samples are treated by using NdYAG laser with a wavelength of 1064 nm, a pulse width of 15 ns, a pulse energy of 10 J and a spot diameter of 3 mm. The surface layer structures of laser treated samples are analyzed by using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Surface residual stress is assessed by using X-ray diffraction technology, the value of impact energy of samples are examined by an impact tester (Model JB-300B), and the fracture surface morphologies of charpy impacting samples are characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Test results show that a nanostructured surface layer can be fabricated on AZ31B magnesium alloy by using optimized laser parameters, and surface grain size is about 20 nm. The surface residual stress is converted from tensile stress (17 MPa) to compressive stress (-125 MPa) by LSP. The mean impact energy of samples is changed from 5.3833 J to 9.2333 J and increases by 71.5% after LSP. The impact toughness improvement of samples by LSP is attributed to a combination of surface nanocrystallization and residual compressive stress..

Continuous wave (CW) Nd:YAG laser beam bead-on-plate welding of Fe-Ni (36%, mass fraction) alloy is carried out. The morphology of the cross section is analyzed by optical microscope. The influence of welding parameters (laser power, scanning speed, defocusing amount, welding angle and heat input) on the morphology of Continuous wave (CW) Nd:YAG laser beam bead-on-plate welding of Fe-Ni (36%, mass fraction) alloy is carried out. The morphology of the cross section is analyzed by optical microscope. The influence of welding parameters (laser power, scanning speed, defocusing amount, welding angle and heat input) on the morphology of the cross section is studied. The results indicate that large negative focusing position will weaken the weldments, consequently, is of disadvantage to self-fusible welding. And the increase of laser power is more helpful to improve welding penetration than slowing down welding speed when the focusing position is fixed. The influence of the relationship between laser power and welding speed should be considered when heat input (laser power/welding speed) is used to characterize the morphology of the weld..

The mechanism of transmission laser bonding of silicon with glass is expounded. Combined with a central composite rotatable experimental design, response surface methodology (RSM) is employed to establish mathematical models of relationships among various welding process parameters and lap-shear strength as well as bond width. Then the analysis of variance is checked and these mathematical models are validated. Effects of different bonding parameters on lap-shear strength and bond width are discussed. Based on this, desirability function is introduced to optimize the parameters of the bonding process and the result of optimal experiments is verified. The results obtained indicate that the developed mathematical models can be used to show the relationship between responses and parameters. Predicted results of parameters optimization developed by desirability function are consistent with experimental results. Therefore, this study provides an effective direction to enhance the bond quality and minimize the bond cost..

Laser surface melting is carried out using a pulsed NdYAG laser on specimens made of CL60 steel, after that the rolling wear properties of specimens are studied using a MM-P2 rolling friction and wear test machine. The surface topography of the specimens before and after the rolling wear test is measured by a micro XAMLaser surface melting is carried out using a pulsed NdYAG laser on specimens made of CL60 steel, after that the rolling wear properties of specimens are studied using a MM-P2 rolling friction and wear test machine. The surface topography of the specimens before and after the rolling wear test is measured by a micro XAM 3D surface topography instrument. Metallographic examinations of the specimens are taken out after the rolling wear test using metallographic microscope and scanning electron microscope. It turns out that the laser melted spots stand out during the experiments due to its higher hardness. The laser melted spots are not only reducing the plastic deformation themselves, but also hindering the plastic deformation of vicinity base material on the same circle. The laser melted spots can reduce the scraps peeling off from specimens and the rolling wear resistance is improved. Different distributions of laser melted spots can form different surface topographies after wear..

A reliable numerical model for the repair process is established, where the heat source expression and boundary conditions are refined. Then the model is verified by experimental results to achieve higher precision. The calculation results show that the secondary repair is processed in a warm-up state. Compared to single repair, multilayer repair can provide more methods to control temperature cycle curve. In the material fused circulation on matrix surface, the materials are compressed at first and stretched then in length and width direction. Compression stress is given priority in the repair stage, and when materials in thickness direction are under alternating tensile-pressure stress cycle, tension is given priority. Stress becomes more focused in the U trough bottom than its sides..

For the caseA novel system of chaotic oscillation frequency enhancement and control of chaos in two spatial coupled semiconductor lasers due to optical feedback is presented. Characteristic of chaotic frequency enhancement and control of chaos in the lasers are studied and a static frequency detuning formula is given. For the case of single-laser feedback, chaotic enhancements are effectively achieved when the feedback is at high levels, in which, the strong feedback can result obviously in frequency enhancement in the dual-lasers while the frequency can be enlarged to 3.57 times of the intrinsic frequency of one laser and 2.86 times for the other. Chaos-control region is found in low feedback levels. In this region, dual-lasers can be conduced to single-cycle, dual-cycle and triple-cycle. The frequency can be enlarged to 3 times of the intrinsic frequency of one laser and 2.58 times for the other when the dual-lasers are with the feedback. Chaos-control region is also found in low feedback levels, and dual-lasers can be controlled to single-cycle, dual-cycle and triple-cycle. The developing path from single-cycle locking to quasi-cycle and then to chaotic frequency enhancement is put forward in detail when the single-feedback or the dual-feedback is present..

It is found that porous surfaces significantly enhance the heat transfer as a result of wicking action of porous structure and potential active nucleation sites. In nucleate boiling region, with the decrease of sintered grain size, heat transfer of porous surfaces performs better; the maximum heat transfer coefficients of 100612 W/(m2·K) and 96464 W/(m2·K) are achieved with the heat flux of 367 W/cm2 at the flow rate of 0.0133 m3 /(m2·s) for the porous surfaces with sintered grain sizes of 28 μm and 49 μm. When the flow rate increases from 0.0133 m3/(m2·s) to 0.0181 m3/(m2·s), the appearance of critical heat flux (CHF) density is delayed and the heat transfer coefficient is increased by 47% to reach 147503 W/(m2·K) at the heat flux of 367 W/cm2..

Random distributed feedback fiber laser (RDF-FL) is a novel kind of light source based on distributed Rayleigh scattering and Raman amplification, which has characteristics such as simple structure, good directionality as well as long-distance transmission and shows a broad prospect in the application of optical fiber Random distributed feedback fiber laser (RDF-FL) is a novel kind of light source based on distributed Rayleigh scattering and Raman amplification, which has characteristics such as simple structure, good directionality as well as long-distance transmission and shows a broad prospect in the application of optical fiber sensing and communications. However, the pump threshold is relative high just because of the weak Rayleigh scattering feedback. In this paper, two methods, half-opened cavity and ultra-long ring cavity structures, are used to reduce the threshold of the RDF-FL. On this basis, the input-output characteristics and frequency spectra of the RDF-FL are analyzed theoretically and experimentally. The results show that the first-order threshold of the RDF-FL can be reduced to 0.8 W and 1.0 W respectively. This research is helpful to further understanding the mechanism of RDF-FLs as well as the design of novel random fiber lasers..

Presently, the fabrication process has become a popular issue in the field of micro-machining. A Cu thin film is transferred from one quartz substrate to another quartz substrate by regulating the pulse power density of Gaussian distributed laser beam. The transferred Cu thin film is characterized by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron microscopy (XPS) analysis. The relationship between pulse power density of laser beam and size, special morphology and uniformity of transferred Cu film is discussed, and the oxidation condition of the transferred Cu film is also studied. Moreover, the mechanism of the transferred process is analyzed based on the results. It is found that the Cu film transfer process can be realized when the average pulse power density of laser beam reaches 1×105 W/cm2. With the increase of pulse power density of laser beam, the size of transferred Cu film is also enlarged, and reaches a certain value at last with the morphology transforming from plane to crater-shape. Almost no oxidation phenomenon is observed on the Cu when transferred Cu film is sputtered off 10 nm in thickness. The transferred film adheres well to the target substrate, and no obvious diffusion phenomenon is observed between Cu film and the target quartz substrate..

By analyzing the Fourier transform of rectangular window (FFT) and wavelet window Fourier transform (WFFT), it is found that WFFT can effectively suppress the appearance of interferential peak in the FFT auto-correlation function, which is very important for identifying true and false peaks and the adjacent peaks. In addition, the film thickness error varies in aperiodic oscillation with the increasing signal length, and this change is associated with the oscillation of reflectivity curve. The ability to distinguish layer thickness is better when intercepting the reflectivity curve near the valley of Bragg diffraction peak. Ni film and Si/Ti/Ni/Ti multilayer are characterized by FFT and WFFT, which verifies the above conclusions and provides a powerful analysis method for the characterization of unconventional multilayer structures..

The results show that under the excitation of electron beam, the spectrum of ZnO nano-crystal film has two emission peaks, in which the yellow or green peak is based on defect luminescence while the ultraviolet peak originates from intrinsic excitons of ZnO. With the increase of electron beam density, the luminescence intensity of ultraviolet peak increases rapidly. In addition, different from usual ZnO films, the ultraviolet peak of ZnO nano-crystal film spectrum exists red-shift, which reaches violet band..

It is found that for the direct 2D FFT method, the edge 0.05R circular area of the interferogram has the biggest phase retrieval errors and decides the value of global errors. Window functions almost have no improvement for edge errors. Optimization of filter design can improve edge errors in some degree. Interferogram extrapolation can reduce edge errors effectively and it is the best way to enhance phase retrieval accuracy for continuous optical surface test. Accurate measurement results can be achieved when the frequency is 1/13~1/3 of the space resolution of the interferogram with peak-to-walley (PV) value of phase retrieval errors less than λ/20. The higher the carrier frequency is, the better the detail resolution is..

Zhu Jigui, Chen Hao, and Xue Bin

Therefore, there are lots of noises in the output signal which severely affect the accuracy of PSD position detection. For the purpose of effectively extracting the useful PSD position signal, this paper presents a wavelet threshold denoising technology to improve the accuracy of position detection of laser displacement sensor based on PSD. Based on the discrete wavelet transform, the original signal of the PSD can be decomposed into multiple scales and then be reconstructed with quantified wavelet coefficients which contain the noise by soft thresholding function. The result of wavelet denoising is evaluated by the experiments such as using different kinds of base wavelet, changing the decomposition scale and considering different amounts of signal samples. The experimental results indicate that, by selecting the appropriate combination algorithm of wavelet denoising, the denoised signal can maintain the mean value of the original signal and the standard deviation can be minimized to 2 μm or below, which significantly improves the position detection accuracy of the sensor and shorten the measurement period..

Sun Han, Grazia Lamanna, and Bernhard Weigand

An optical fiber is placed in the focal point of the receiver lens to make the transmitted light away from the optical axis. The image of scattering pattern recorded by CCD can be processed to get the curves of light intensity distribution with the scattering angle. Further, the particle size distribution can be calculated by Mie scattering code with inversion technique. It is possible to measure very diluted dispersions or fogs with CCD based low angle elastic light scattering measurement system due to its high sensitivity, high angular resolution. Although low angle elastic light scattering seems a more accurate method for its measurement principle, it is not an intuitive method. Normally the accuracy of laser particle sizing is verified by standard particles which are measured by other optical methods. A non-optical method is suggested. A mono-disperse droplet generator is used to produce a chain of droplets with same size, same droplet spacing to verify the laser scattering droplet sizing results..

For the lonLaser ranging is a kind of high precise measuring technology for spacecraft orbit determination. The traditional laser ranging is to measure the roundtrip flight time of laser pulse to collect precise measurement of range that allows the spacecraft to achieve its requirement for precise orbit determination. For the long distance spacecrafts farther than the moon, the above measuring way is not suitable and the one-way range measurement via laser pulse time-of-flight from ground stations to spacecrafts should be utilized. For this measuring mode, the laser signal energy falls off only as square of distance and the laser signal can reach the place beyond the moon to the planets. The one way laser measurement will become a significant way for interplanetary laser ranging. By using the ground satellite laser ranging system, laser measuring experiments to geosynchronous satellite equipping laser detector and timing counter are successfully implemented. The comparison and analysis for laser data obtained from both the one way and the roundtrip flight measurements are carried out. The measuring results validate the feasibility of one way laser ranging. The measuring experiments provides reference for further study on the one-way laser ranging and design of laser measuring terminal system for interplanetary spacecraft in future..

Aiming at this issue, a new variable parameters amplification and filtering circuit (VPAFC) is designed, and a denoising method based on denoising source separation (DSS) is proposed. By using variable gain amplifier, bandwidth-adjustable filter and signal noise reduction software, the whole system can not only adapt to the amplitude change of signal in weak signal detection, but also restrain the noise both outside useful signal band and structural interference inside. In order to test the new circuit and the efficiency of the algorithm, a system with weak scattering light energy signal detection device and data acquisition is constructed. Experimental result shows that the system can fit the amplitude change quickly by adjusting parameters online, and its output can keep a signal-to-noise ratio above 40 dB when the input voltage drops to 2 μV..

In order to improve the grating′s performance and application level, it is particularly important to analysis the influence of ruling line′s equal-distance curve and location error on plane grating performance, such as resolution, scattered light, etc. According to Fermat principle, a light-tracing mathematical model that simulates collimated monochromatic light incident on a plane grating which contains line′s curved error, and location error and corresponding diffraction light imaged on the focal plane is established. The influence of above-mentioned grating line errors on grating performance is studied. Results show that grating line′s curve and location error mainly influence grating sagittal and meridional spectral performance, separately, line′s curved error has little effect on grating resolving power and scattered light. According to the analysis above, the ruling system of grating ruling machine is improved. Statistical average value of grating line′s location error caused by modified ruling system is reduced to less than half of the original amplitude. Thereby grating scattered light is effectively suppressed..

The broadband operating range is determined firstly based on the dispersion relationship and rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA). Then the impact of silicon membrane thickness and air hole size on the performance of proposed device under surface normal incidence is investigated and an optimal set of physical parameters for 1.55 μm communication window is obtained correspondingly. Its performance affected by oblique incidence and polarization is also analyzed. It shows that broad bandwidth over 110 nm can be obtained with greater than 98% normalized transmittance under surface normal incidence. The common bandwidth of two polarizations will reduce with the increase of incident angle. But it can still cover the whole C-band window (from 1525 nm to 1560 nm) with over 98% normalized transmittance when the angle reaches 18°..

Begining with the Helmholtz equation, by comparing the field distributions of straight fiber and bent fiber modes, the mode evolution ways between straight and curved large mode area fibers transition are determined. Based on mode superposition and excitation theory, the mode coupling efficiency formula about straight and bent fiber transition is derived. With the help of coupling formula and finite element method, the mode coupling efficiencies of a step-index large mode area fiber in straight and curved state transition are calculated. The results show that self-coupling and cross-coupling processes exist when fiber transits between straight and curved states, and the coupling degree varies with the degree of bending and mode order, in which the coupling efficiency of the fundamental mode is always higher than that of other modes and the coupling loss of higher order mode is larger than that of lower order mode. The fiber transition between straight and curved states costs the total power to exchange for the effective inhibition of higher order mode..
