文摘In this paper,a conventional soliton(CS)mode-locked erbium-doped fiber(EDF)laser was de-veloped using MAX phase material(MAX-PM)Nb_(4)AlC_(3)as a saturable absorber(SA).First,the liquid phase exfoliation(LPE)method was utilized to prepare Nb_(4)AlC_(3)nanosheets,and then a piece of tapered fiber was adopted to fabricate Nb_(4)AlC_(3)-SA.It was found that the saturation intensity and modulation depth of the Nb_(4)AlC_(3)-SA are 2.02 MW/cm^(2)and 1.88%.Based on the Nb_(4)AlC_(3)-SA,a conventional soliton(CS)mode-locked EDF laser was achieved.The central wavelength,pulse duration,and pulse repetition rate were found to be 1565.65 nm,615.37 fs,and 24.63 MHz,respectively.The performance is competitive and particularly superior in terms of pulse duration.This study fully confirms that Nb_(4)AlC_(3)possesses marvellous nonlinear saturable absorption properties and opens new possibilities for further research on air-stable ultrafast photon-ic devices.
文摘There is nonradiative recombination in waveguide region owing to severe carrier leakage,which in turn reduces output power and wall-plug efficiency.In this paper,we designed a novel epitaxial structure,which suppresses carrier leakage by inserting n-Ga_(0.55)In_(0.45)P and p-GaAs_(0.6)P_(0.4) between barriers and waveguide layers,respectively,to modulate the energy band structure and to increase the height of barrier.The results show that the leakage current density reduces by 87.71%,compared to traditional structure.The nonradiative recombination current density of novel structure reduces to 37.411 A/cm^(2),and the output power reaches 12.80 W with wall-plug efficiency of 78.24%at an injection current density 5 A/cm^(2) at room temperature.In addition,the temperature drift coefficient of center wavelength is 0.206 nm/℃at the temperature range from 5℃to 65℃,and the slope of fitted straight line of threshold current with temperature variation is 0.00113.The novel epitaxial structure provides a theoretical basis for achieving high-power laser diode.

文摘Femtosecond laser processing is an important machining method for micro-optical components such as Fresnel zone plate(FZP).However,the low processing efficiency of the femtosecond laser restricts its application.Here,a femtosecond laser Bessel beam is proposed to process micro-FZP,which is modulated from a Gaussian beam to a Bessel annular beam.The processing time for FZP with an outer diameter of 60μm is reduced from 30 min to 1.5 min on an important semiconductor material gallium arsenide(GaAs),which significantly improves the processing efficiency.In the modulation process,a central ablation hole that has an adverse effect on the diffraction performance is produced,and the adverse effect is eliminated by superimposing the blazed grating hologram.Meanwhile,the FZP machined by spatial light modulator(SLM)has good morphology and higher diffraction efficiency,which provides a strong guarantee for the application of micro-FZP in computed tomography and solar photovoltaic cells.
文摘Selective laser melting(SLM)is a cost-effective 3 D metal additive manufacturing(AM)process.However,AM 316 L stainless steel(SS)has different surface and microstructure properties as compared to conventional ones.Boriding process is one of the ways to modify and increase the surface properties.The aim of this study is to predict and understand the growth kinetic of iron boride layers on AM 316 L SS.In this study,the growth kinetic mechanism was evaluated for AM 316 L SS.Pack boriding was applied at 850,900 and 950℃,each for 2,4 and 6 h.The thickness of the boride layers ranged from(1.8±0.3)μm to(27.7±2.2)μm.A diffusion model based on error function solutions in Fick’s second law was proposed to quantitatively predict and elucidate the growth rate of FeB and Fe_(2)B phase layers.The activation energy(Q)values for boron diffusion in FeB layer,Fe_(2)B layer,and dual FeB+Fe_(2)B layer were found to be 256.56,161.61 and 209.014 kJ/mol,respectively,which were higher than the conventional 316 L SS.The findings might provide and open new directions and approaches for applications of additively manufactured steels.

文摘Laser powder-bed fusion(LPBF)of Zn-0.8Cu(wt.%)alloys exhibits significant advantages in the customization of biodegradable bone implants.However,the formability of LPBFed Zn alloy is not sufficient due to the spheroidization during the interaction of powder and laser beam,of which the mechanism is still not well understood.In this study,the evolution of morphology and grain structure of the LPBFed Zn-Cu alloy was investigated based on single-track deposition experiments.As the scanning speed increases,the grain structure of a single track of Zn-Cu alloy gradually refines,but the formability deteriorates,leading to the defect’s formation in the subsequent fabrication.The Zn-Cu alloys fabricated by optimum processing parameters exhibit a tensile strength of 157.13 MPa,yield strength of 106.48 MPa and elongation of 14.7%.This work provides a comprehensive understanding of the processing optimization of Zn-Cu alloy,achieving LPBFed Zn-Cu alloy with high density and excellent mechanical properties.

文摘In order to obtain high-density dual-scale ceramic particles(8.5 wt.%SiC+1.5 wt.%TiC)reinforced Al-Mg Sc-Zr composites with uniform microstructure,50 nm TiC and 7μm SiC particles were pre-dispersed into 15−53μm aluminum alloy powders by low-speed ball milling and mechanical mixing technology,respectively.Then,the effects of laser energy density,power and scanning rate on the density of the composites were investigated based on selective laser melting(SLM)technology.The effect of micron-sized SiC and nano-sized TiC particles on solidification structure,mechanical properties and fracture behaviors of the composites was revealed and analyzed in detail.Interfacial reaction and phase variations in the composites with varying reinforced particles were emphatically considered.Results showed that SiC-TiC particles could significantly improve forming quality and density of the SLMed composites,and the optimal relative density was up to 100%.In the process of laser melting,a strong chemical reaction occurs between SiC and aluminum matrix,and micron-scale acicular Al_(4)SiC_(4) bands were formed in situ.There was no interfacial reaction between TiC particles and aluminum matrix.TiC/Al semi-coherent interface had good bonding strength.Pinning effect of TiC particles in grain boundaries could prevent the equiaxial crystals from growing and transforming into columnar crystals,resulting in grain refinement.The optimal ultimate tensile strength(UTS),yield strength(YS),elongation(EL)and elastic modulus of the SiC-TiC/Al-Mg-Sc-Zr composite were~394 MPa,~262 MPa,~8.2%and~86 GPa,respectively.The fracture behavior of the composites included ductile fracture of Al matrix and brittle cleavage fracture of Al_(4)SiC_(4) phases.A large number of cross-distributed acicular Al_(4)SiC_(4) bands were the main factors leading to premature failure and fracture of SiC-TiC/Al-Mg-Sc-Zr composites.

文摘In this work,ultrasonic energy field assistance combined with tempering treatment is proposed to improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of A517Q alloy steel fabricated by laser directed energy deposition(LDED).The effects of ultrasonic vibration(UV)and tempering treatment on microstructure evolution,microhardness distribution and mechanical properties of deposition layer were studied in detail.The microstructure of UV assisted LDED sample after tempering is mainly composed of tempered sorbite(TS).Due to the improvement of microstructure inhomogeneity and grains refinement,UV assisted LDED sample with tempering treatment obtains excellent mechanical properties.The ultimate tensile strength(UTS),yield strength(YS)and elongation after breaking(EL)reach 765 MPa,657 MPa and 19.5%,the increase ratios of UTS and YS are 14.5%and 33.8%while maintaining plasticity compared to original LDED sample,respectively.It is obvious that ultrasonic vibration combined with tempering is a potential and effective method to obtain uniform microstructure and excellent mechanical properties in metal laser directed energy deposition field.

文摘The research demonstrated that laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)coupled with controlled annealing at 1200°C,could significantly increase the proportion of coincidence site lattice(CSL)grain boundary,thereby achieving an outstanding synergy of enhanced strength and exceptional ductility.The plastic deformation behavior,strain hardening behavior,and fracture behavior of LPBF 316L steel annealing at 1200℃for 20 h were studied through quasi-in-situ tensile process.It was found that LPBF 316L steel formed a certain proportion of deformation twins during the tensile process,and the formation of twins changed the crystal orientation,thus promoting further slip and crystal deformation.The synergistic effect of slip and twin promoted higher plasticity.LPBF process coupled with controlled annealing at 1200°C for 20 h leads to a ultimate tensile strength of 613 MPa and total elongation of 73.8%.

文摘An LD directly-pumped solid-state laser is considered to be one of the most promising mid-infrared light sources because of its simple principle,small size,and compact structure for the generation of mid-infrared(MIR)lasers in the 3-5µm band.However,the quantum defect of LD directly-pumped MIR solid-state lasers will be much larger than that of ordinary near-infrared LD pumped solid-state lasers,which may lead to thermal damage and limit their development.In order to solve this problem,the methods of reducing the specific surface area of the crystal and improving the thermal energy released by the crystal structure are discussed,and the opti⁃mal length of the laser crystal is determined.The cooling structures of barium yttrium fluoride laser crystals(Ho^(3+):BY_(2)F_(8))of different lengths were studied by thermal simulation using COMSOL software.The experimen⁃tal results show that the output power can be increased and the thermal stress in the laser crystal can be alleviated by using the laser crystal whose length is slightly shorter than that of the cooler.The final experiment shows that when the pump repetition rate is 15 Hz and the pulse width is 90µs,the single pulse energy is 7.28 mJ at the out⁃put wavelength of 3.9µm,which is about 3 times as large as that of the crystal with the length of 10 mm(2.81 mJ).Such results should be another breakthrough of our team since the first directly-pumped solid-state MIR laser was realized more than a year ago.It might pave the way for the construction of a feasible MIR laser in the near future.

文摘The phenomenon of a target echo peak overlapping with the backscattered echo peak significantly undermines the detection range and precision of underwater laser fuzes.To overcome this issue,we propose a four-quadrant dual-beam circumferential scanning laser fuze to distinguish various interference signals and provide more real-time data for the backscatter filtering algorithm.This enhances the algorithm loading capability of the fuze.In order to address the problem of insufficient filtering capacity in existing linear backscatter filtering algorithms,we develop a nonlinear backscattering adaptive filter based on the spline adaptive filter least mean square(SAF-LMS)algorithm.We also designed an algorithm pause module to retain the original trend of the target echo peak,improving the time discrimination accuracy and anti-interference capability of the fuze.Finally,experiments are conducted with varying signal-to-noise ratios of the original underwater target echo signals.The experimental results show that the average signal-to-noise ratio before and after filtering can be improved by more than31 d B,with an increase of up to 76%in extreme detection distance.
文摘The zirconium(Zr)alloy fuel cladding is one of the key structural components of a nuclear reactor and the first and most important line of defense for accommodating fission products.During the operation of nuclear reactors,Zr alloy fuel cladding is subjected to extreme harsh environments,such as high temperature,high pressure and high flow rate for a long period of time.The wear and corrosion resistance of Zr alloys is important for the safe operation of nuclear reactors.Surface modification can effectively improve the corrosion and wear resistance of fuel cladding.Compared with coating technology,nitriding technology does not have problems for bonding between the coating and the substrate.Current research on surface nitriding of Zr alloys mainly focuses on plasma nitriding and ion implantation techniques.Research on laser nitriding of Zr alloy surfaces and their fretting wear characteristics is scarce.In this study,the surface of Zr alloy was treated with laser nitriding at different laser energies.The microstructure of Zr alloy treated with different laser energies and its fretting wear performance were studied.The results showed that after nitriding with different laser energies,the surface of the Zr alloy showed a typical molten state after melting,vaporizing and cooling under the thermal effect of the laser,and this state was more obvious with the increase of the laser energy.At the same time,doping of N atoms and formation of the ZrN phase led to different cooling rates in the molten zone that produced large tensile stresses after cooling.This led to cracks on the surface of Zr alloys after laser nitriding at different energies,and the crack density increased with increasing laser energy.This also led to an increase in the surface roughness of the Zr alloy with increasing laser energy after laser nitriding treatment.Due to the presence of water in the industrial nitrogen,nitrides were generated on the surface of the sample along with some oxides.When the laser energy was 100 mJ,there was no ZrN generation,and N existed mainly as a diffusion layer within the Zr alloy substrate.ZrN generated when the laser energy reached 200 mJ and above,which increased with the increase of laser energy.Due to the generation of ZrN phase and the presence of some oxides,the surface Vickers hardness of Zr alloys after laser nitriding treatment at different energies increased by 37.5%compared to Zr alloys.After laser nitriding treatment,the wear mechanism of Zr alloys changed.For the untreated Zr alloys,the wear mechanism was dominated by delamination and spalling wear,accompanied by oxidative and abrasive wear.The phenomenon of delamination and peeling decreased with the increase of laser energy.Wear mechanisms changed to predominantly abrasive wear with oxidative wear and delamination spalling.The wear volume of sample nitriding with laser energy 400 mJ was reduced by 46.5%compared with that of untreated Zr alloy.

文摘Laser anti-drone technology is entering the sequence of actual combat,and it is necessary to consider the vulnerability of typical functional parts of UAVs.Since the concept of"vulnerability"was proposed,a variety of analysis programs for battlefield targets to traditional weapons have been developed,but a comprehensive assessment methodology for targets'vulnerability to laser is still missing.Based on the shotline method,this paper proposes a method that equates laser beam to shotline array,an efficient vulnerability analysis program of target to laser is established by this method,and the program includes the circuit board and the wire into the vulnerability analysis category,which improves the precision of the vulnerability analysis.Taking the UAV engine part as the target of vulnerability analysis,combine with the"life-death unit method"to calculate the laser penetration rate of various materials of the UAV,and the influence of laser weapon system parameters and striking orientation on the killing probability is quantified after introducing the penetration rate into the vulnerability analysis program.The quantitative analysis method proposed in this paper has certain general expansibility,which can provide a fresh idea for the vulnerability analysis of other targets to laser.
