In order to measure the minimum frequency difference Based on the Y-shaped cavity orthogonal polarized dual-frequency helium-neon laser, the influences of pump current, operating point as well as the loss of resonator on the locking-threshold frequency difference are analyzed according to Lamb′s semi-classical theory. In order to measure the minimum frequency difference of the Y-shaped cavity orthogonal polarized dual-frequency helium-neon laser, an experimental system is set. Various factors, especially pump current and operating point, are studied in the experiment for the first time. The results show that either the pump current increasing or operating point approaching the gain curve center can cause the minimum frequency difference to decrease. When the pump current value is greater than 2.2 mA with its working state at the optimal operating point, the locking-threshold frequency difference can be less than several MHz..

The fundamental wavelengths are oscillated at 1064 nm and 1342 nm in a diode array pumped Nd∶YVO4 laser. Continuous wave (CW) sum frequency generation (SFG) of 593.5 nm is achieved by placing the nonlinear optical crystal LiB3O5 (LBO) cut as type-I phase matched in the cavity. Noise characteristics of CW intracavity SFThe fundamental wavelengths are oscillated at 1064 nm and 1342 nm in a diode array pumped Nd∶YVO4 laser. Continuous wave (CW) sum frequency generation (SFG) of 593.5 nm is achieved by placing the nonlinear optical crystal LiB3O5 (LBO) cut as type-I phase matched in the cavity. Noise characteristics of CW intracavity SFG laser is measured and analyzed in different experiment conditions. The multi-longitudinal modes structure and transverse modes pattern of SFG laser is observed in high and low noise operation by Fabry-Perot (F-P) scanning interferometer and beam profile instrument, respectively. The results show that noise characteristics of SFG laser is closely related to the multi-longitudinal modes structure which is associated with the pumping power and the resonator cavity perturbation. Compared with unstable multi-longitudinal modes structure, the output laser with stable multi-longitudinal modes structure is lower noise operating. In addition, higher-order transverse modes pattern can also cause the increase of laser noise..

So there are many laser beams and optical transmission links, which make the system complicated. In order to ensure the system working stably and efficiently, it needs to monitor and evaluate the status of all the links of system, which means online measurement of each amplification stage and multiple laser beams. Therefore, considering the character of the high power excimer laser system, a measure technique based on time-sequence method is proposed and principle experiments are carried on. Using this technique, online measurement of multiple beams using only one set of measuring elements can be achieved. The merit of this method is not only measurement efficiency can be promoted, but also the complication and cost is brought down, and the system errors caused by different elements are also avoided..

Zhong Zheqiang, Yang Lei, Hu Xiaochuan, and Zhang Bin
In diode laser array (DLA) grating-external cavity spectral beam combining (SBC) system, the total effects of lens aberration, fabrication error of grating and‘smile’effect may lead to the light crosstalk between light-emitting units of DLA. Based on the analysis of generating mechanism of light crosstalk, the main kinIn diode laser array (DLA) grating-external cavity spectral beam combining (SBC) system, the total effects of lens aberration, fabrication error of grating and‘smile’effect may lead to the light crosstalk between light-emitting units of DLA. Based on the analysis of generating mechanism of light crosstalk, the main kinds of light crosstalk can be divided into two categories, including the stray light returning to the light-emitting unit itself and other units due to the feedback of external cavity, resulting in the self-oscillation and coupled oscillation. On the above basis, the diode laser rate equation involving light crosstalk has been put forward, and the combining efficiency of DLA emitters has been derived. Furthermore, the impacts of the self-oscillation and coupled oscillation on the combining efficiency have been analyzed. Results indicate that the two categories of light crosstalk involving both the stray light returning to the light-emitting unit itself and the stray light injected into other units decrease combining efficiency of light-emitting unit to different extents, and the impact of the latter is larger. In practical applications, some methods should be taken to control the light crosstalk..

So the laser shock processing without coating (LSPwC) is carried out on the K24 alloy and the high cycle fatigue tests are conducted to verify the reinforcement effect. The mechanisms of the residual stress and microstructures to fatigue performances are discussed. The results show that, compared with the untreated specimen, the fatigue strength of the specimen treated by LSPwC is improved by 16% and that after heat preservation is improved by 11%. Under the effects of the compressive residual stress and high density dislocations that induced by LSPwC, the fatigue performances of the specimens are improved.

The modeling of force and displacement of the molten pool on an inclined surface is carried out. The shifting and flow of the molten pool are restrained by optimizing the laser cladding parameters in this model. The experimental results indicate that the forming of the cantilevered part with a changing incline angle from 0° to 81° is achieved without support. And, the surface of this part is flat and smooth, and the“step effect”is completely eliminated. The cladding layers are nearly symmetry along the central axis of the part, and the shifts of the layers influenced by gravity are not apparent. The microstructures of the part at different incline angles have no significant differences, and all achieve small grain size and compact texture..

In order to simultaneously improve the high-temperature wear and oxidation resistance of Ti6Al4V alloy, the composite coatings are prepared on the surface of Ti6Al4V alloy by laser cladding with the precursor mixed NiCr/Cr3C2- Al- Si powder. Microstructure, wear and high temperature oxidation resistance of laser claddiIn order to simultaneously improve the high-temperature wear and oxidation resistance of Ti6Al4V alloy, the composite coatings are prepared on the surface of Ti6Al4V alloy by laser cladding with the precursor mixed NiCr/Cr3C2- Al- Si powder. Microstructure, wear and high temperature oxidation resistance of laser cladding coatings are analyzed. The results show that TiC, Ti5Si3 and Cr3Si particulate reinforced γ - Ni/Al8Cr5 matrix composite coatings are formed. The average micro- hardness of the composite coating is 750 HV0.5, and is almost twice as much as that of Ti6Al4V alloy. At room temperature, compared to Ti6Al4V alloy, the composite coating exhibits excellent tribological property due to its high hardness. While at high temperature of 600 ℃ , the formation of protective transferred layers between the sliding surface of Ti6Al4V alloy and the ceramic couple can play a positive self-lubrication role. Compared with the Ti6Al4V alloy, the wear resistance of the composite coating has slight decrease because of the formation of micro-cracks on the worn surface at high temperature. After isothermal oxidation tests at 800 ℃ for 32 h, the Ti6Al4V alloy is oxidized quickly because of the high affinity of Ti towards O and the non- protective oxide scales of TiO2. The composite coating can form continuous Al2O3, NiO and Cr2O3 oxide scales on the surface, which is more protective than TiO2. The high- temperature oxidation resistance of the laser cladding composite coating is approximately 8.4 times higher than that of the Ti6Al4V alloy..

The relative wear resistance of the cladding layer is 3.2 times than that of the substrate. The corrosion potential (Ecorr) is increased with 389.5 mV and the corrosion current is decreased by two orders of magnitude. After the laser cladding Al63Cu27Zn10 (atomic fraction, %) layer, both wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the AZ80 substrate are greatly improved..

The scanning electron microscope results show that the micro-/nano-particles, web-like aggregates are produced respectively in the process of laser paint removal. Micro- particles have irregular shapes and rough surfaces while nano- particles exhibit spherical and smooth surfaces. The average sizes of micro-and nanoparticles become larger as the laser energy increase. The energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer results indicate that the components of micro-particles are the same as the bulk material, related to the vibration removal mechanism. However, the content (atomic fraction) of C element for nanoparticles decrease seriously, more than 50%, resulting from the effect of laser ablation to paint. The research provides a new idea and method for studying the basic physical mechanism of laser paint removal..

The effect of speckle noise on wavefront correction is researched by simulating the trends of image sharpness value with the root-mean-square (RMS) value of wavefront under different speckle noise level. Based on that, conclusions are verified by the numerical simulation of atmospheric turbulence wavefront close-loop correction. The results show that, with the increase of speckle noise, the monotonicity and linearity between image sharpness metric and the wavefront RMS value are significantly worse, especially while the RMS value is less than 1 rad, so that the convergence speed and the final accuracy are deteriorated. Moreover, when the speckle noise is large, with the increase of wavefront distortion, the effect of speckle noise on the correction performance is much more remarkable..

First, a base matrix based on which circulant permutation matrices and parity-check matrices with girth at least eight are extended out is defined. Then, the parity-check matrices are transformed using the masking matrices which are designed by the proposed theorem. Finally, full rank QC-LDPC codes with girth at least eight are constructed. Compared with different construction schemes in theory analysis and bit error rate performance, results indicate that the proposed LDPC codes are full rank with strict quasi-cyclic feature and excellent error correction capability. The construction method is flexible. As a result, the proposed QC-LDPC codes are suitable for the optical communication systems..

Free spUnder Gamma-Gamma atmospheric turbulence, the influence of atmospheric scintillation, channel loss and pointing error on the performance of differential phase shift keying (DPSK) coherent optical communication system such as the bit error rate (BER), channel capacity and outage probability is studied in detail. Free space optical communication (FSO) system is based on the Mach- Zehnder modulator (MZM) and Mach- Zehnder interferometer (MZI) DPSK modulation/demodulation structure. The closed- form expression of average BER, average channel capacity and interruption probability is derived by the generalized hypergeometric method and the simplified analysis. The simulation is taken place under the Matlab platform. Numerical results show that the average BER and channel capacity are decreased with the atmospheric turbulence increased, the channel capacity can be promoted by increased the bandwidth or reduced the jitter variance, and the communication performance of the system is seriously affected by the increasing outage probability owing to the overlarge pointing error..

Based on the coupled-mode theory and transfer matrix method, the effects of cascading lengths, cascading location, the number of cascades and tilt angle on CTLPFG transmission spectrum are simulated. The transmission spectrum of the CTLPFG is consistent with the transmission spectrum of the cascaded long period fiber grating (CLPFG) in cascading length and cascading location. The loss peaks of the second and 3rd- order cladding modes increase as the tilt angle is enhanced, and the second- order cladding mode is stronger than the 3rd-order mode. The second-order transmission spectra are sensitive to changes in the inclination for the angle above 60°. The width of the pass-bands increases along with the increase of the cascaded segments number, and they are in linear relationship. The results show that CTLPFG has a good value in a bimodal filter. CTLPFGs are made in experiments through point by point. Experimental results and theoretical simulations are comparatively analyzed, which demonstrates that they are in favorable consistency..

Taking wavenumber instead of wavelength as the function variable, the output spectrum is a standard cosine spectrum function. The frequency, interference order and relative phase of this spectrum function can be obtained after Fourier transform and inverse Fourier transform. And then the measurement of the polarization nonreciprocal phase-shift of hybrid Sagnac interferometers can be realized with high resolution and a large rangement. A typical hybrid Sagnac interferometer based polarization maintaining fibrer(PMF) temperature sensor is built and the absolute phase is determined with proposed algorithm. Experiments show that less than 0.1 ℃ temperature resolution is realized and the temperatures from room temperature to 900 ℃ can be measured with a good linearity..

By means of least-squares method, a binary linear analysis is employed In order to satisfy the demand of the measurement for reflection phase retardation with high precision in a short time, a measuring system based on the typical optical structure which is composed of polarizer, prism and analyzer (PPA) is presented. By means of least-squares method, a binary linear analysis is employed to fit the intensity distribution points which are captured without knowing the initial analyzer angle. Then, two sets of intensity distribution points captured under the different conditions of polarizing angle are processed with the methods of repeated fitting and approximation to obtain an intersection, which is just the measured value of reflection phase retardation. In this approach, data collection of the intensity distribution as well as the associated numerical calculation can be performed via software system without setting optical elements′ azimuth accurately. Moreover, all of the measuring operations can be completed in 15 s. The experimental results show the error of the measured result of reflection phase retardation is 0.005 rad and the repeatability of which is 0.0016 rad as well..

One shortcoming is the difficulty to estimate background parameters, which are sensitive to noise and complex background, the other is the high false dismissal probability when targets are close to their neighbors. Considering those shortcomings, an infrared small target detection algorithm in compressive domain based on self- adaptive parameter configuration and noise statistics is proposed. The original infrared image is projected on a sensing matrix to obtain the measurement vector. The sparse target matrix and the low-rank background matrix can be recovered and separated simultaneously from the measurements based on low- rank and sparse matrix decomposition in compressive domain with adaptive parameter. The infrared small target detection is realized by threshold segmentation of statistical model of noise. Results indicate that the proposed method outperforms the previous method in both subjective and objective qualities under complex infrared background with less data storage, and solves the false dismissal probability problem when targets are close to their neighbors..

The randomly encoded hybrid grating which includes an amplitude encoded grating and a phase chessboard is obtained according to the Fraunhofer diffraction principle and the randomly coding method based on the quantization of radiant flux.

System parameters such as the incident beam diameter, grating pitch and the distance from the grating to the imaging plane are analyzed and determined. Comparing the far-field intensity distribution and quadriwave lateral shearing interferograms of the randomly encoded hybrid grating with MHM, results show that only four spots with equal intensity exist in the far-field diffraction of the randomly encoded hybrid grating; the shearing interferogram is stable, and it is capable of detecting arbitrary wavefront aberrations..
