Abstract:
A theoretical model of the thermal simulation was established to study the problem of temperature rise and thermal deformation of the beam combiner mirror in the optical path of a high-energy laser system caused by strong laser radiation. The temperature rise and thermal deformation of the beam combiner mirror with silicon, silicon carbide, quartz glass, and glass-ceramics as substrate materials were analyzed by finite-element analysis software under different laser power irradiation. At the same time, the temperature rise and thermal deformation of the beam combiner mirror with quartz glass and glass-ceramics as substrate materials under extreme conditions were simulated and analyzed. The results show that at 22 ℃, after 10 s of 30 kW single-beam laser irradiation, the temperature of silicon carbide is the lowest at 23.718 ℃ among the four substrate materials, and the thermal deformation of glass-ceramics is the smallest at 0.00115 μm. The thermal deformation of glass-ceramics is 0.000399 μm when irradiated by a six-beam laser with a total power of 30 kW, while the thermal deformation of quartz glass is 18.8 times higher than that of glass-ceramics at the same six-beam. Under extreme conditions, the substrate material with the smallest thermal deformation is also glass-ceramics. Therefore, among the four substrate materials, glass-ceramics is the most suitable as substrate material for the beam combiner mirror in the high-energy laser system. The research results have certain practical reference values for the design of high-energy laser systems.

Abstract:
In order to verify the applicability of the rapid measurement method of energy performance parameters of propellant based on pulsed laser ablation, a pulsed laser interaction platform with energetic materials and an experimental platform for transient diagnoses such as shockwave and plasma image were firstly established. Based on this platform, the shockwave and plasma characteristics of single, double, and triple base propellant and monocrystal rock sugar under pulsed laser ablation were studied experimentally. The influence of laser parameters on the ablation process of pulse laser and the difference of shockwave and plasma image between the single base propellant and monocrystal rock sugar was obtained. The results show that the shockwave and plasma expansion characteristics of single base propellant are mainly affected by the chemical reaction energy release of energetic substances, while that of rock sugar is mainly affected by laser irradiance. Furthermore, taking single, double, and triple base propellants as samples, based on shockwave propagation distance parameters and laser energy parameters, the linear calibration models of shockwave characteristic velocity and its explosive force, explosive heat, and explosive temperature were established by using support vector machines regression algorithm. The determinate coefficient R2 values were 0.9912, 0.9998, and 0.9999, respectively. The results show that this method predicts the explosive force, explosive heat, and explosive temperature of the propellant well and provides a reference for the study of the interaction between pulsed laser and energetic materials.

Abstract:
In order to meet the increasing service traffic requirements of access networks and solve the problem that wavelengths between different passive optical networks cannot be flexibly allocated due to fixed architecture and limited resource dimensions, a time and wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network(TWDM-PON) structure combining lasers emitting fixed wavelengths and optical switch array was proposed. In this new system structure, the downstream wavelength resources were centralized, and the method of configuring the optical switch array at the central office was used to achieve flexible scheduling of wavelengths between different networks. This system can be used to solve the problems such as load balancing, traffic "tidal effect", and low utilization of network resources while reducing overall costs. The feasibility of the system was verified by theoretical analysis and simulation experiments, and the compatibility of the structure with the traditional passive optical network, the sharing of wavelength resources, the low cost of the system, and the characteristics of energy saving were analyzed and demonstrated. Experimental results show that the signal can cover a transmission distance of 30 km without dispersion compensation and can serve 512 users at the same time.

2024, 48(2): 204-209. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2024.02.009
Abstract:
Programmable multi-pulse green laser was developed to satisfy the application requirements of a planer laser induced fluorescence and velocity interferometer system for any reflector. In the process of amplification, because the front edge gain of the laser pulse was fast and the back edge gain was slow, the laser pulse waveform was distorted. Adopting light intensity programmable technology, input the long pulse voltage waveform into an arbitrary waveform generator and load it onto the electro-optic modulator. In order to control the output light intensity in the time domain and output multiple pulses at the same time, the software was used to edit the long pulse voltage waveform according to the feedback of the output laser waveform. The results indicate that the waveform distortion during the amplification process is corrected. The following green laser square wave pulses are obtained: Single pulse with 110 ns pulse width; double pulses with 5 μs pulse interval and 50 ns pulse width; three pulses with pulse widths of 40 ns, 50 ns and 60 ns and pulse interval of 2 μs and 1 μs respectively. Of course, if necessary, by editing the long pulse voltage waveform, we can also get pulses of other parameters so as to obtain a laser with adjustable pulse number, waveform, pulse width, and pulse interval. This study provides a reference for planar laser-induced fluorescence technology and reflector velocity interferometer system.

One of the cores was responsible for startup and function, and data transmission, while the other cores undertook some computing tasks to further improve the computing speed. The results show that, the designed system makes full use of the performance of both CPU and GPU. Under the same configuration of computing hardware, the speedup ratio of CGH generation is 4~4.75 times higher than that of CGH generation in a single GPU system. Heterogeneous systems can effectively improve the generation speed of computer-generated holograms. The research is helpful for generating a 3-D scene hologram quickly.

2024, 48(2): 216-222. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2024.02.011
Abstract:
In order to explore the influence of cavitation on the stability of the micro-water beam of the water guide laser, the numerical simulation analysis of the water jet from a typical nozzle was carried out by using the computational fluid dynamics method without considering cavitation and considering cavitation respectively, and the generation mechanism of cavitation and its influence on the stability of the micro-water beam was studied. The calculation results show that under the nozzle structure with the inlet diameter of 0.1 mm, the length-diameter ratio of the cylinder section of 1, and the sharp upper edge, with the inlet pressure increasing from 0.2 MPa to 16 MPa, the re-attachment length of the water jet after separation from the nozzle wall gradually increases, and cavitation will lead to the extension of the length. When the inlet pressure is less than 6 MPa, the water jet, without considering cavitation, will flow down the nozzle wall after stabilization, and the addition of a cavitation model can make the water beam form a flipped flow. The simulation results have important reference values for the design of nozzle structures that meet the requirements of water-guide laser technology.

Abstract:
In order to scientifically evaluate the protective effect of the laser diffuse reflector in the laser angle deception jamming process, the coordinate transformation method was used to compare the energy density of the indicating laser received by the seeker and the jamming laser in the same coordinate system and the jamming coverage rate of the guidance airspace was calculated, and then the influence of the difference of the normal direction of the diffuse reflection plate and the target on the protective effect was analyzed. The research shows that for a typical-cubic type target, when the normal of the diffuse reflector is the same azimuth as the normal of the vertical plane of the target, and the pitch difference is between 0° and 60°, the guidance airspace jamming coverage of the vertical plane is 100%. Only when the normal direction of the diffuse reflector is the same as the normal direction of the horizontal plane at the top of the target the guidance airspace jamming coverage of the plane is 100%. In order to achieve comprehensive protection, it is necessary to set up multiple diffuse reflectors for protection according to the direction of the laser attack and the possible irradiated surface. This research method and results have reference values for reasonable layout and use of laser diffuse reflector.

Abstract:
In order to improve the quality of dissimilar steel welding. Adopting laser welding technology welding of two heterogeneous materials, Q345B low alloy steel, and the 304 stainless steel. Under different laser powers, the welded joints were thoroughly characterized and analyzed using metallographic microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and energy dispersive spectroscopy. Experimental data indicates that when the laser power is higher than 3 kW, the joint can be fully welded, and the weld sections of 4 kW, 4.5 kW and, 5 kW all present the waist phenomenon. The weld microstructure is typical lath martensite. The size of the lath martensite in the weld of 5 kW is smaller, showing the highest hardness value. The tensile strength of the weldment of 4 kW reaches 590 MPa. With the increase of laser power, the tensile strength of the weldment gradually decreases. In the weld, there are no M23C6 and σ phases, which have a great influence on the quality, but mainly Cr2Ni3, Fe2Ni3, and α-Fe phases. The results indicate that using laser wire filling welding technology can achieve high-quality welding of Q345B/304 dissimilar steel.

Abstract:
In order to compare the advantages and disadvantages of several 3-D reconstruction methods, an evaluation method was adoped for theoretical analysis and experimental verification. The wrapped phase error model of fringe noise interference was established, and the maximum variance of the wrapped phase error was obtained. Then the reliability of three classical dual-frequency phase unwrapping algorithms was analyzed and compared. The results show that the dual-frequency four-step phase-shifting algorithm 4fh+4fl has the strongest anti-interference ability, and its reconstructed object surface is smooth and wrinkle-free. The second is the 3fh+3fl algorithm, whose phase errors are 169.7% and 126.9% of those of 4fh+4fl. Finally, the 3fh+2fl algorithm has a large number of folds on the reconstructed shapes, and the measurement accuracy is the worst. The phase errors of the 3fh+2fl algorithm are 442.6% and 388.8% of those of the 4fh+4fl algorithm. However, compared with the 4fh+4fl algorithm and the 3fh+3fl algorithm, the measurement efficiency is improved by 37.5% and 16.6%. This study provides a method to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of each dual-frequency phase shift method and provides a reference for the selection of the above three methods.

2024, 48(2): 261-267. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2024.02.018
Abstract:
In order to study the propagation characteristics of the polarization singularity based on the fractional vortex beam in free space, the method of numerical simulation was adopted, the theoretical analysis and data simulation were carried out, and the evolution of topology of polarization singularity based on the fractional circular Airy vortex beam was obtained during propagation in free space. The results show that regardless of whether there is a circular polarization singularity in the initial plane, the self-focusing properties of the polarization singularity based on the fractional circular Airy vortex beam will affect the topology of the light field during the propagation process, making the light field doesn't contain circular polarization singularities at the beginning of transmission, but after traveling through its self-focusing distance, several circular polarization singularities will appear in the light field. Compared with polarization singularities based on integer circular Airy vortex beams, both have singular topology self-recovery properties, while fractional-based vortex beams will bring more circular polarization singularities into the recovered light field point. This work will deepen the understanding of the propagation characteristics of polarization singularities, provide a theoretical basis for its application, and broaden the application range of circular Airy beams.

Abstract:
In order to fully understand the distribution law of thermal stress and gravity during the coating of a large aperture primary mirror, to control the shape change of the reflecting mirror, and improve the quality of film forming, the influence of thermal stress and gravity on the shape of reflecting mirror was theoretically analyzed and studied by finite element analysis method. The results show that the reflecting film of the large aperture primary mirror is more prone to spalling and damage near the edge. During the coating process of a large aperture primary mirror, the shape change of the reflecting mirror caused by its own gravity will have a great influence on the coating quality, and gravity elimination treatment is needed. When the main mirror of 3000 mm diameter is coated by evaporation film material up or down, the support mode needs to be optimized. This study provides a reference for controlling the influence of thermal stress and gravity on the shape of the reflecting mirror when coating a large mirror.

2024, 48(2): 281-287. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2024.02.021
Abstract:
In order to solve the problem, the performance of the wheat seed purity detection model decreased due to sample imbalance and band information redundancy in the process of hyperspectral imaging. A seed purity hyperspectral detection model was proposed by combining the synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) with uninformative variables elimination (UVE) and support vector machine (SVM). In this model, the SMOTE was used to expand the minority class (impurity) samples of the wheat seeds to improve the sample imbalance. At the same time, the UVE was used to select the high-dimensional hyperspectral features, and the SVM model was constructed to further reduce the risk of model overfitting caused by feature redundancy. Results showed that: The average accuracy, precision, and negative sample detection rate of the five types of wheat seeds are 95.98%, 94.94%, and 89.32%, respectively, which are 3.89%, 7.18%, and 12.42% higher than the traditional methods, respectively. The proposed method has a good application prospect in the detection of wheat seed purity based on hyperspectral imaging technology.

2024, 48(2): 288-294. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2024.02.022
Abstract:
In order to use point cloud technology to better obtain surface information, the built-in optical lens of unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) AA1300 was used to collect image data and build a 2-D digital orthophoto map (DOM) and GS-1350N lens was hung to collect a 3-D light detection and ranging point cloud. DOM classification was realized by three methods, namely, the k-nearest neighbor(KNN) method, support vector machine (SVM) method, and random forest (RF) method. 3-D point cloud was classified by the method with high accuracy in quantitative analysis. The comparative analysis of 2-D and 3-D classification mapping was carried out. The results show that, in 2-D DOM classification, kappa coefficients of RF are 3.74% and 2.16% higher, and the overall accuracy is 4.04% and 2.88% higher than those of KNN and SVM, respectively. The classification results of 2-D can be directly linearly transformed into 3-D point clouds, achieving 2-D and 3-D point cloud classification with a mapping accuracy of 94.15%. Under the same conditions, compared to 2-D/3-D point cloud mapping, direct 3-D point cloud classification can present more complete terrain information. This study indicates that the precise classification of 3-D point clouds can be helpful for better obtaining surface information.
