Analysis of cavity mirrors’tilt in ring-down cavity
YI Heng-yu, LÜ Bai-dai, ZHANG Kai
2006, 30(1): 5-8.
Abstract:
The change of the cavity length and single-pass loss in ring-down cavity is deduced from the misalignment angle of cavity mirrors.Based on the matrix method of misalignment resonator and experimental parameters,a theoretical model is proposed to simulate measurement of reflectivity for cavity mirrors'tilt in ring-down cavity.Applying this model,the waveform of ring-down signal can be simulated and its change reason is analyzed.Then the relation between measurement precision and cavity mirrors'tilt is studied.The analysis shows that the measurement precision drops rapidly with length misadjustment and spot offset brought by cavity mirrors'tilt.To improve measurement precision,it is suggested that ring-down signal on the oscillograph should be applied to adjust the cavity mirror.

WANG Chun-ming, HU Lun-ji, HU Xi-yuan
2006, 30(1): 23-26.
Abstract:
At some process condition,the weld fusion area increase linearly with heat input,and for the two common parameters of laser power and weld speed,laser power has more influence on penetration while weld speed has more influence on weld width.The plasma optic signal at 400nm~600nm corresponds to variation of the weld penetration,and the signal's RMS value increases with the penetration in a quadratic curve mode.The inherent relation between plasma optic signal and penetration is also analyzed.The results provide theoretical and practical guidance for real-time penetration monitor and prediction in partial-penetration laser welding.

ZHONG Xian-qiong, CHEN Jian-guo, LI Da-yi
2006, 30(1): 27-30.
Abstract:
In case of co-existence of cubic and quintic nonlinearity,the condition and power gain spectra of modulation instability induced by the cross-phase modulation for two optical waves in loss,single-mode optical fibers are studied.In the normal dispersion region of the decreasing dispersion fibers,the effects of the quintic nonlinear coefficients,the dispersion longitudinal varying parameters,and the size relation of the two perturbation frequencies on the power gain spectra of modulation instability are analyzed in detail.The results indicate that,in case of quintic nonlinearity,the longitudinal decreasing of dispersion is still benefit to broaden the gain spectra of modulation instability.The positive quintic nonlinearity will make the width and the peak value of the gain spectra larger,and make the position of peak value be far away from the frequency of the main wave,while the negative quintic nonlinearity will do the opposite.If the size relation of the two perturbation frequencies is different,the dispersion longitudinal varying parameters will influence the position and value of the spectrum peak in different ways,and the quintic nonlinearity will intensify or suppress the modulation instability to different degrees.

2006, 30(1): 43-46.
Abstract:
Backscattered laser energy profile is very important parameter in a cone-shaped laser energy meter because it affects the measurement precision of the instrument.From the reflection rule of laser in the surface of energy meter obeyed,the distribution function of power of laser beam in energy meter surface is deduced.Using the Simpson numerical calculation method,the distribution of laser power density in the opening of absorption body and the total backscattered laser power are obtained when the reflective index is fixed but the ratio of laser diameter and absorption cavity diameter is changed.The calculation results show that the backscattered energy loss is up to 0.5%~2.5% for a large caliber high energy laser.According to the backscattered laser power density profile,total backscattered laser energy can be gotten to compensate the measurement result,which will greatly improve the accuracy of high energy laser energy measurement.

Abstract:
In order to study the mechanism of photodynamic therapy on malignant tumors,photosensitization of BPD-MA is activated by laser with red light(632.8nm) delivered at 10mW/cm2to give a total dose of 2.4J/cm2.Apoptosis of human bladder cancer BIU-87 cells is determined with flow cytometry with PI staining and terminal deoxyuridine nick end labeling(TUNEL) assays.Results show that photodynamic therapy with BPD-MA significantly increases the rate of apoptosis in BIU-87 cells.A lot of the positive cells in which their nucleus is brown-yellow fine particle shape or overflowing-dispersed are observed after treatment of cells with photodynamic therapy with BPD-MA.However,laser irradiation alone,BPD-MA alone and sham radiation without BPD-MA can not affect apoptosis of human bladder cancer BIU-87 cells.A conclusion can be made that treatment of cells with photodynamic therapy obviously induces human bladder cancer BIU-87 cells to apoptosis,which may be one of the important mechanism of photodynamic therapy on malignant tumors.

2006, 30(1): 110-112.
Abstract:
Starting from the Maggi-Rubinowic theory of the boundary diffraction wave and Helmhotz-Kirchhoff integral theorem,the diffraction integral formula of plane waves diffracted at an annular aperture is derived.The diffraction at a circular aperture and a circular screen,as well as the axial field distribution is treated as the special cases of our general result.The characteristics of axial intensity distribution of the diffracted field are analyzed.Numerical examples show that the results obtained by means of the formula given in this paper are in good agreement with the direct numerical integration of the Kirchhoff integral formula.In the near field there are noticeable discrepancies between our formula and the Rayleigh diffraction integral.
