2004, 28(3): 237-240,270.
Abstract:
316L stainless steel powders were clad onto AISI 1045 steel substrate using laser multi-track overlapping process.The microstructure and anodic polarization corrosion behavior in 2mol NaCl,1mol FeCl3 and 0.5mol HCl aqueous solutions of the clad layer and its commercial counterpart bulk 316L stainless steel were comparatively investigated.The chemical composition of the clad layer resulted from dilution from the substrate is quite different from that of the original 316L stainless steel powders,the final microstructure of the clad layer comprised predominant martensite and very small amount of residual austenite.The anodic polarization behavior of the clad layer was similar to that of its commercial counterpart bulk in the aqueous solutions mentioned above.There exists Tafel relationship between the superpotential of anodic and cathodic polarization and current for both the clad layer and the bulk.The clad layer displays good passive performance and pitting corrosion resistance.Compared with the bulk,however,the clad layer has larger self-corrosive current density,lower potential and smaller polarization resistance,and its corrosion resistance slightly degrades.

LI Xiao-feng, PAN Wei, LUO Bin, ZHAO Zheng, DENG Guo
2004, 28(3): 248-250,258.
Abstract:
Based on multimode rate equations,the relaxation oscillation of vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers(VCSELs)and edge-emitting lasers(EELs)has been studied through SIMULINK provided by MATLAB.The results show that EELs with multiple longitudinal modes have higher relaxation oscillation frequency and shorter turn-on delay time,which are relatively unchanged for VCSELs case.The simulation results also verify the following conclusions:firstly,VCSELs has the merits of single-mode working and high-speed modulation; secondly,the devices with higher bias current or larger spontaneous emission factor exhibit better temporary characteristics;thirdly,the variation rate of VCSELs'side-mode suppression ratio(SMSR)with bias current is higher than that of EELs.Furthermore,the side-mode intensities augment at the same rate with increasing the spontaneous emission factor,and the main-mode intensity decreases accordingly.Controlling this factor effectively can optimize the single-mode characteristic of VCSELs.

Abstract:
By using a beam model with linear non-uniform field profile in the x direction,the effect of beam non-uniformity and nonlinear thermal blooming in the optical beam control system on the far-field characteristics of high-power laser beams is studied.It is found that the non-uniformity of the initial beam affects the focusability and results in the astigmatism.The thermal blooming gives rise to a further decrease of the focusability and a further increase of the astigmatism.In addition,the peak intensity in the far-field is reduced and its position shifts away owing to the thermal blooming.
