2016, 40(4): 461-465. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2016.04.001
Abstract:
In order to cope with changeable environment and complex requirements of strontium optical lattice clock experiments, laser power should be stabilized and controlled in time sequence in some laser paths. Acousto-optic modulation was adopted to stabilize the laser power based on the principle that diffraction efficiency of acousto-optic crystal varies with the change of driving radio frequency power. A feedback control system was established to realize active stabilization of laser power and timing control of power. The result shows that laser power can be set at arbitrary levels within its setting range according to time sequence. When the control system is enabled, the relative laser power stability is improved from 10-2 to 10-4 compared with the disabled state. The advantage of the system is power stability with timing control.

Abstract:
To explore the potential application of micro-textures on the surface of cemented carbide material by laser texturing, process tests of laser texturing were carried out on the surface of YG6X cemented carbide cutters by using single factor analysis method. Crater micro-textures with approximate 270m diameter and 6m height were obtained. The experimental results show that laser pulse width, pump voltage and air pressure have important effects on the textured topography dimensions and quality of the convex textures. Pulse width and pumping voltage can increases the dimension of convex textures greatly, gas pressure can significantly reduce the height of convex textures about 43%. However, micro-cracks exist from the center to the surrounding of micro-texture materials on cemented carbide by laser texturing. Furthermore, micro-texture materials by laser texturing on cemented carbide show uneven distribution with bigger hole and cavity in the center, but have close bonding strength with substrate.

2016, 40(4): 516-520. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2016.04.013
Abstract:
In order to study laser irradiation temperature effect of a focal plane array detector under laser irradiation, 3-D analysis model of InSb infrared focal plane array detectors with complex multilayer structure was established based on ANSYS software, and 3-D temperature field and temperature effect of InSb infrared focal plane array induced by Gaussian pulse laser was simulated. The simulation results show that, the maximum temperature occurs in InSb chip, locating at the uppermost layer of the InSb detector. When the maximum temperature of InSb chip reaches the melting temperature 798K of InSb material, hot melting damage for the detector would happen and the melting damage threshold was also influenced by the laser pulse wide width and spot radius of laser. Temperature field distribution of each layer material in InSb detector shows non-consecutive high temperature extreme areas. The main reason is that, Indium bump and underfill, which are the alternative distribution in the middle layers of InSb focal plane array detectors, have different thermal properties. And then, extreme heat region of InSb chip, underfill and silicon readout circuit has high-temperature distribution similar to complementary in cloud map of detector temperature field. The research is useful for studying stress field distribution caused by temperature effect and improving laser protective performance of detector.

After theoretical analysis and experimental verification, good results of foggy image restoration were achieved. The results show that the algorithm can accurately obtain the sky region and improve the contrast and sharpness of the image, and improve the degradation of the image. Therefore, the algorithm can effectively inhibit the degradation of the image caused by fog, and improved target detection and identification capability of remote sensing.

2016, 40(4): 531-535. doi: 10.7510/jgjs.issn.1001-3806.2016.04.016
Abstract:
To decrease the byte loss probability of data burst, reduce the time delay cost and grantee the high usage efficiency of channel resource, a novel contention resolution was proposed based on segment redundant recombination in optical burst switching(OBS) networks. In this scheme, a special channel type called back-off channel was classified. When two bursts contents, the lower priority one will be separated and the segments will be sent back to upstream node by back-off channels. To grantee high efficient usage of channel resources, the segments will be cloned as many copies to fill the void of data channels. These copies will be recombined with the original data burst as virtual burst which can be separated flexibly. Moreover, the priority of the burst on back-off contention was set to the lowest to balance out the cost of segmentation copies. The simulation results show that, this contention resolution method reduces packet loss rate and time delay in OBS networks effectively, and use the channel resources efficiently.

Abstract:
In order to solve drift problem of distributed optical fiber temperature sensorfor detection of blast of hot air tubes, a new solution of light center frequency matching (LCFM) method was proposed after theoretical derivation and experimental verification. By measuring the difference between the incident optical current and the reference photo current to adjust F-P light filter bandwidth, filter center frequency can always be kept in pass-band range of the filter. The match of filter bandwidth and light center frequency was achieved. The curves between Raman ratio and distance substantially coincided at different ambient temperatures when using frequency matching method.

Abstract:
To explore new structures of comb filters, a new Sagnac loop filter based on the sampled fiber Bragg grating was proposed. Using the theory of Jones matrix, the theoretical model of filter was established. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation of transmission spectra of the proposed filter were carried on. By choosing the different value of the sampled fiber Bragg grating length L, optical fiber ring arm length difference L, and the sampling period P, six kinds of narrow-band comb transmission spectrums with discrete spectral lines, high reflectivity, and equal interval can be obtained. The spectrums have good wavelength selectivity and good channel isolation. The simulation results show that this filter can be used in the multi-channel narrow band filter of the wavelength division multiplexing system, dual-wavelengthfiber laser, and the distributed sensing system, etc. It provides a certain reference for the filter combining fiber Bragg grating with the structure of the Sagnac loop in research and application.

Abstract:
In order to study the propagation characteristics of shock wave, shock processing of copper films under the different processing parameters was simulated with finite element software. Propagation characteristics of dynamic stress wave in film-substrate system were analyzed by using stress wave theory. The results show that when the laser energy is 30mJ, shock waves are elastic. The maximum velocity of particles in thin film with the single shock is -0.018mm/s, the change of the velocity and the residual strain of particles in films is little with three shocks. When laser energy is 120mJ, shock waves are elastic-plastic. The maximum velocity of particles and the largest depth of the residual strain in the films with three shocks are respectively 26.44% lower and 35.48% higher than those with single shock. These have guiding significance to the study of propagation characteristics of shock wave.

Abstract:
In order to study the temperature distribution for laser butt welding of dissimilar metal steel/aluminum, a mathematical model was established and welding temperature field was also simulated by ANSYS software. Temperature distribution at different time and the thermal cycling profile at the node on specimen surface were obtained. The effect of welding speed on welding temperature field was studied. The results were compared with the actual welding. The results show that, the welding temperature field is asymmetrically distributed and the temperature gradient in steel side is greater than that in aluminum side; With the increase of welding speed, the maximum temperature reduces gradually and weld width also decreases gradually. The weld shapes obtained from simulation and experiments are consistent, and the error is less than 5%. The study can verify the accuracy of simulation results.

Abstract:
Thermal effect is the main reason limiting output power and beam quality of vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VECSELs). To optimize the quantum design in active regions of gain chip, decrease thermal effect and upgrade slope efficiencies and output laser power, thermal characteristics of a VECSEL at 980nm wavelength were investigated experimentally by means of photoluminescence. The edge-emitting and surface-emitting spectra at different heatsink temperatures were obtained. The results indicate that the redshift rate of the edge-emitting spectra, which revels the intrinsic properties of quantum wells in active region, is 0.5nm/K with increasing temperature, while the redshift rate of the surface-emitting spectra, which are modulated by multiple-layer structure of the gain chip, is only 0.1nm/K with increasing temperature. The experiments also show that the surface-emitting spectra are split into several modes because of the restriction from the micro-cavities in gain chips of VECSELs. In the design of VECSEL gain chip, according to the above thermal characteristics of VECSELs, performance of a laser could be improved significantly by prebiasing emission wavelengths of quantum wells and cavity lengths of micro-cavities.

Abstract:
In order to optimize the phase sensitive optical time-domain reflectometer (-OTDR) system, a multi-intrusion detection system was built based on -OTDR principle. The effect of laser linewidth on system performance was studied theoretically and experimentally. 7km sensing optical fiber was used in system experiment. The theoretical analysis shows that with the increase of the laser linewidth, the ripples of backward coherent Rayleigh scattering detected by the system become gradually smooth, and the signal-to-noise ratio and location accuracy of system also decrease, so that the system can't locate and identify interference information. The experimental results show that when laser linewidth changes from 5kHz to 200kHz,the ripple of backward coherent Rayleigh scattering detected by the system also becomes gradually smooth, the signal to noise ratio of system decrease from 12dB to 3dB. The results of experiment is in agreement with the results of theoretical very well.
