Abstract:
To investigate the technique of laser etching silicon under different mediums,micromachining of silicon was conducted using a short-pulse(FWHM is 20ns) KrF excimer laserwith energy of 150mJ~250mJ.Laser etching were tested on a silicon workpiece both in air and under water.Based on the results of experiments,basic etching appearance and etching velocities by excimer laser etching silicon under the two mediums were studied,and then the differences were compared.As a result,the molten material is easy to be removed in water-assisted micromachining of silicon,which helps to improve the processed surface quality;and the restriction of water improves the impact effect which increases the etching velocity.

Abstract:
In order to improve the output power and the optical-optical conversion efficiency of a laser diode pumped all-solid-state laser,a double Nd:YVO4 crystals green laser was designed.Through investigation of temperature field distribution in laser crystal and based on the transmission matrixes,the stable condition of cavity influenced by the thermal lens effects of double laser crystals was analyzed and a folded cavity of double-end-pumped double Nd:YVO4 crystals was introduced.In double-ends-pumped double Nd:YVO4 crystals green laser system,Ⅰ-type noncritical phase matching LBO crystal was used as intracavity doubling frequency.When the pump power of two diode lasers was 26.56W,the 5.5W CW 532nm green laser was got and the optical-optical conversion efficiency reached up to 20.7%.The result shows that the double laser gain mediums inserted in cavity can not only improve the optical-optical conversion efficiency of laser,but also enhance the resonant stability through the interaction of two laser crystals' thermal lens effect.

LI Wei-lai, LI Ying, Li Wei
2006, 30(6): 601-604.
Abstract:
To test 157nm silica ablating effect,the profile of micro holes on the end cross section of silica photonic crystal fiber is employed under the exposure of 157nm laser to quantitatively analyze the ablating depth and degree.The photon energy of 157nm laser is 7.9eV,can be absorbed by silica.Under 157nm laser,the defect formations in silica are accumulated to produce a large quantity of free electrons.Meanwhile,the dopants in fiber silica considerably reduce the breakdown threshold.Because the rate of single-photon absorption outclasses the rate of multi-photon absorption,it can be inferred that the mechanism of interaction between 157nm laser and silica is a process of single-photon absorption of electron-avalanche.It breaks all bonds in silica,a half of them is ionic bonds and the other half is covalent bonds.The actual ablating velocity 210nm/pulse has demonstrated that the 157nm laser can be absorbed strongly by silica material and that thermal process accompanies with the ablation,however,because the period of damage is only 20ns,the heat on the silica can be limited in a extremely small area,therefore,an ablating result with good quality can be ensured.

WANG Bin, LI Tong, LÜ Bai-da, ZHONG Ming
2006, 30(6): 618-620,624.
Abstract:
For the purpose of jamming the amplitude modulation reticle system,two methods of active jamming of infrared seeker are analyzed by using numerical simulation based on the operation principle of an infrared seeker with amplitude modulation reticle.The results show that the jamming source with a slow variation of amplitude will warp the target's azimuth received by the seeker.But it can not make the target escape from the scout of the seeker.At a repetition rate nearly equal to the carrier frequency of the reticle system,the jamming source will disturb the target's signal received by the seeker,and make the seeker lose the target.If the intensity of the jamming source nearly equals to that of target's radiation,the jamming can be achieved.

2006, 30(6): 621-624.
Abstract:
For laser powder micro-deposition process,the bonding between the deposited materials and the substrates is crucial to the quality of the deposited components.In order to fabricate fine thin parts with uniform thickness and good bonding strength directly,the effect of processing parameters on wall thickness uniformity and stability of the process during laser micro-deposition of metallic powder from StelliteF alloy is investigated experimentally.The observation and analysis of the cross-section and the microstructure of the deposited thin walls indicate that,the change of heat dissipation condition during deposition influences the wall thickness uniformity.Under reasonable processing parameters,thin wall parts with surface roughness(Ra) as low as 10μm,the wall thickness as thin as 0.4mm and metallurgically sound structure can be deposited directly.It indicates that laser micro-deposition of metallic powder has a bright prospect in laser surface modification of small parts and direct fabrication of fine and precise components.

2006, 30(6): 647-649,666.
Abstract:
To investigate the propagation of acoustic surface waves in a cylindrical coating-substrate system,a finite element algorithm is put forward to simulate laser inducing acoustic surface wave in cylindrical coating-substrate system based on the thermoelastic mechanism.Using this algorithm,the waveforms of laser-induced acoustic waves on the aluminum(coating)/nickel(substrate) and nickel(coating)/aluminum(substrate) system are simulated.The results show that surface acoustic wave on the cylindrical coating-substrate system is dispersive.When surface acoustic waves are propagating along the cylindrical structure,there exists geometry dispersion,which makes the dispersion property of the cylindrical coating system more complex than that of a plate coating system.As a result,there is not simple rule for predicating the dispersive property of surface acoustic waves on cylindrical coating-substrate system.

2006, 30(6): 653-656.
Abstract:
Optical crosstalk imposes a major limit on the practical implementation of optical cross-connects(OXCs).Intraband crosstalk characteristics of three typical OXC nodes based on dilated Benes(DB) network and generally modified dilated Benes(GMDB) network are studied.Results show that OXC composed by DB and GMDB network can remove the first order crosstalk successfully.At the same time,the power penalty induced by intraband crosstalk is studied through numerical simulation.Compared with DB network,GMDB network can eliminates crosstalk effectively.The crosstalk level of optical devices required in GMDB network is about 5dB lower than that in DB network to keep the power penalty below 1dB at the bit error rate of 10-9,which indicates that the OXC structure plays an important role in eliminating optical crosstalk.
