保护条件变化的激光焊接等离子体光谱分析

保护气体在激光焊接过程中起重要的作用,保护条件的改变对焊接质量会有显著地影响。研究Nd∶YAG激光焊过程中保护条件的变化对激光等离子体的电子温度和电子密度等特征参数的影响,通过设计分步减小保护气流量的激光焊试验进行规律性研究,通过模拟实际可能发生的保护不良的激光焊试验进行验证性研究。在试验研究过程中,利用光谱仪采集激光焊接过程中产生的光致等离子体的光谱信息,通过相对光强法计算不同保护条件下等离子体的电子温度,通过斯塔克展宽机制计算不同保护条件下等离子体的电子密度。研究结果表明,保护条件的改变对Nd∶YAG激光焊接过程中产生的光致等离子体的电子温度和电子密度有重要影响,随着保护条件的变化,光致等离子体的电子温度和电子密度的平均值会发生变化,其波动幅度也会发生变化。在保护良好的条件下,等离子体的电子温度和电子密度均较小,且波动幅度也较小;在保护不良的条件下,等离子体的电子温度和电子密度都比较大,且波动幅度也比较大,这种变化的特征有助于对激光焊接过程进行质量监控。     

侧吹气体对光纤激光修锐青铜金刚石砂轮等离子体特性影响

为了研究辅助侧吹氩气对光纤激光修锐青铜结合剂金刚石砂轮等离子体的影响,利用高速摄像机拍摄不同侧吹工艺参数下等离子体空间膨胀形态,结果表明：氩气降低了等离子体的膨胀高度,随着压力增加,等离子体的膨胀距离减小,等离子抑制作用增强。 利用光谱仪研究了等离子体发射光谱在砂轮径向上的最大值随氩气压力的变化情况,并根据Boltzmann斜线法和Stark展宽法,计算不同氩气压力下等离子体在砂轮径向上电子温度和电子数密度的最大值,结果表明：气体压力增大,等离子体光谱线强度先增大后减小,等离子体光谱线强度在0.2 MPa时达到峰值,较大的氩气压力明显降低等离子体电子温度和电子数密度,从而减小对砂轮表面形貌的影响。 利用超景深三维扫描仪观测添加侧吹气体前后砂轮表面形貌,结果表明：0.5 MPa侧吹氩气后,砂轮表面形貌质量明显优于未添加侧吹气体时。     

激光诱导Ni等离子体特性的研究

以Nd·YAG激光器的二倍频输出作为激发源,获得了激光诱导Ni等离子体的发射光谱,基于发射光谱,对等离子体电子激发温度和电子密度进行了测量,其典型值分别为3 714 K,4.67×1016 cm-3。测量了等离子体电子激发温度和电子密度的空间分布,发现沿垂直于激光传播方向的径向,随到中心点距离的增加,等离子体辐射的强度减小,但线型和线宽不变,表明等离子体电子激发温度和电子密度沿径向均匀分布。沿激光传播方向,随到样品表面距离的增加,等离子体辐射强度、电子激发温度和电子密度先增加后降低,在距样品表面1.5 mm处,达到最大值。采用激光诱导击穿光谱技术进行相关探测时,收集距离样品表面1.5 mm处的发射谱,有利于提高探测灵敏度。     

Densities and Life Time of Electrons in KrF* Laser Gas Mixtures During the X-Ray Preionization

The homogeneity and stability of TEA-Excimer laser discharges strongly depend on the preionization. A homogeneous discharge can only develope if it is ensured that the electron density exceeds a certain level at the moment of the ignition. The kinetic of these electrons during the preionization is analyzed theoretically by the use of the Boltzmann equation for x-ray preionized KrF* laser systems. The time dependent velocity distribution of the electrons is calculated for different buffer gases and gas mixtures. The resulting electron densities and life times are discussed and compared with experimental investigations. It is quantitatively shown at the first time that the kind of the buffer gas has a decisive influence on the velocity distribution, density and life time of the preionization electrons.     

切向气流作用下玻璃纤维复合材料的激光辐照效应

实验研究了样品表面有切向空气气流、切向氮气气流和无气流时,976 nm连续激光对玻璃纤维增强E-51环氧树脂复合材料的辐照效应。结果表明:无气流时,喷出的热分解产物会对入射激光产生屏蔽作用;有气流时,激光对玻璃纤维的破坏方式是其升温熔化后再被切向气流带走;当激光功率密度较低时,切向空气气流以加强样品表面的对流冷却作用为主,不利于激光对玻璃纤维复合材料的破坏;当激光功率密度较高时,切向空气气流以降低屏蔽作用和提供氧气助燃为主,有利于激光对玻璃纤维复合材料的破坏。三种气流状态下,质量损失随功率密度呈现单调增加趋势,当入射激光功率密度在100~600 W/cm2范围内,随着功率密度的增大,激光能量的利用效率逐渐增大并趋于稳定。

Laser removal of mold growth from paper

Femtosecond laser nano-processing by enhanced light scattered from nanospheres has received much attention. Enhanced scattered near field enables us to ablate nanoholes at nanometer scales below the diffraction limit. In addition, the interference between the scattered far field and the irradiated laser enables us to fabricate spatially controlled periodic surface structures. In this paper, we simulated the time evolution of scattered near field and far field during the free electron excitation in silicon (Si) by femtosecond laser irradiation. The optical property of Si changes from dielectric to metal-like Si due to the increase of the free electron number density excited by femtosecond laser pulse. It is elucidated that the scattered field of Si shifts from Mie scattering to plasmonic scattering during laser irradiation. We achieved the optimal free electron density and laser intensity for precisely controlled periodic surface structures fabrication. We explained the temporal behavior of the scattering near field and far field from the standpoint of dielectric function of the materials.     

气体压强对纳秒激光诱导空气等离子体特性的影响

环境气体的压强对激光诱导等离子体特性有重要影响.基于发射光谱法开展了气体压强对纳秒激光诱导空气等离子体特性影响的研究,探讨了气体压强对空气等离子体发射光谱强度、电子温度和电子密度的影响.实验结果表明,在10-100 kPa空气压强条件下,空气等离子体发射光谱中的线状光谱和连续光谱依赖于气体压强变化,且原子谱线和离子谱线强度随气体压强的变化有明显差别.随着空气压强增大,激光击穿作用区域的空气密度增加,造成激光诱导击穿空气几率升高,从而等离子体辐射光谱强度增大.空气等离子体膨胀区域空气的约束作用,增加了等离子体内粒子间的碰撞几率以及能量交换几率,并且使离子-电子-原子的三体复合几率增加,因此造成原子谱线OⅠ777.2 nm与NⅠ821.6 nm谱线强度随着气体压强增大而增大,在80 kPa时谱线强度最高,随后谱线强度缓慢降低.而离子谱线N Ⅱ 500.5 nm谱线强度在40 kPa时达到最大值,气体压强大于40 kPa后,谱线强度随压强增加而逐渐降低.空气等离子体电子密度均随压强升高而增大,在80 kPa后增长速度变缓.等离子体电子温度在30 kPa时达到最大值,气体压强大于30 kPa后,等离子体电子温度逐渐降低.研究结果可为不同海拔高度的激光诱导空气等离子体特性的研究提供重要实验基础,为今后激光大气传输、大气组成分析提供重要的技术支持.     

Terahertz Quantum Cascade Laser at 3.39THz

We demonstrate the growth of terahertz quantum cascade laser （THz QCL） by gas source molecular beam epitaxy. X-ray diffraction and cross-sectional transmission electron microscopic measurements show the high crystalline quality of the THz QCL active region, From the cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy image, sharp interfaces are observed and the deduced cascade period thickness is consistent with the result of x-ray diffraction. The test device is lasing at 3.39THz and operating up to lOOK in pulsed mode. At IOK, the maximum output power is greater than 1 mW with a threshold current density of 738 A/cm^2.     

Self-focusing, channel formation, and high-energy ion generation in interaction of an intense short laser pulse with a He jet

Using interferometry, we investigate the dynamics of interaction of a relativistically intense 4-TW, 400-fs laser pulse with a He gas jet. We observe a stable plasma channel 1 mm long and less than 30 microm in diameter, with a radial gradient of electron density approximately 5 x 10(22) cm(-4) and with an on-axis electron density approximately ten times less than its maximum value of 8 x 10(19) cm(-3). A high radial velocity of the surrounding gas ionization of approximately 3.8 x 10(8) cm/s has been observed after the channel formation, and it is attributed to the fast ions expelled from the laser channel and propagating radially outward. We developed a kinetic model which describes the plasma channel formation and the subsequent ambient gas excitation and ionization. Comparing the model predictions with the interferometric data, we reconstructed the axial profile of laser channel and on-axis laser intensity. The estimated maximum energy of accelerated ions is about 500 keV, and the total energy of the fast ions is 5% of the laser pulse energy.

基于发射光谱及成分分析的激光除漆机理研究

基于激光诱导击穿光谱和X射线能谱技术,测量了激光与油漆作用时发射光谱及作用前后元素成分的变化,以此研究了激光除漆的机理。实验测量了不同纳秒激光能量下激光诱导击穿油漆表面的光谱,计算了等离子体的电子密度和温度。通过扫描电子显微镜对油漆烧蚀形貌进行了分析,采用X射线能谱仪测量了烧蚀前后油漆成分的变化。研究结果表明,等离子体电子密度、温度以及烧蚀区域大小都随着入射激光能量的增加逐渐增加。在激光作用前后油漆中碳(C)含量明显降低,原子百分比从78.25%降低到67.07%,说明激光与油漆作用过程中发生了烧蚀。通过对比钛(Ti)元素、C元素和铝(Al)元素的相对原子比例,表明更高的激光能量下油漆烧蚀的更剧烈。该工作对深入研究激光除漆机理有重要意义。

Laser dye stability,part 12. The pyridinium salts

Improved laser output is demonstrated in KrF and XeCl lasers with x-ray preionization. The influence of gas composition, preionization geometry, x-ray dose,E/p value and temporal delay between x-ray pulse and laser discharge is discussed. In XeCl lasing has been achieved with an x-ray dose of 0.2 mR whereas approx. 3 mR are required for KrF. For both systems, the highest output energy and the lowest possibleE/p ratio were observed with Ne buffered gas mixtures. Dissociative attachment to halogen molecules on a ns time scale supported by a relatively slow laser voltage rise is recognized as the main electron loss channel preventing a long lifetime of the preionization electrons. High preionization intensity is thus desirable at the moment of voltage breakdown.     

激光烧蚀硅表面的发射光谱分析

研究了不同能量的纳秒激光脉冲聚焦到单晶硅片上时,激光等离子体的自由电子密度和温度以及损伤形貌随激光脉冲能量增加的变化规律。研究结果表明：激光脉冲击穿硅介质产生的激光等离子体的体积以及自由电子密度和温度大小,决定了硅表面损伤的形貌特点和大小。自由电子密度和温度的变化特点是：随着激光脉冲能量的增加,激光等离子体的体积不断增大,自由电子温度缓慢增加而密度基本不变。又由于激光等离子体的自由电子密度和温度呈现从中心到边缘由大到小的变化趋势,所以损伤形貌总的特点是内部区域的熔化非常充分,形成明显的周期性排列的规则条纹,且条纹的排列趋势呈现环状;中部区域熔化不充分,形成条纹不很规则;边缘区域处分界明显,有时出现等离子体产生喷溅变色痕迹。     

Laser heating method for estimation of carbon nanotube purity

A new method of a carbon nanotube purity estimation has been developed on the basis of Raman spectroscopy. The spectra of carbon soot containing different amounts of nanotubes were registered under heating from a probing laser beam with a step-by-step increased power density. The material temperature in the laser spot was estimated from a position of the tangential Raman mode demonstrating a linear thermal shift (-0.012 cm^-1/K) from the position 1592 cm^-1 (at room temperature). The rate of the material temperature rise versus the laser power density (determining the slope of a corresponding graph) appeared to correlate strongly with the nanotube content in the soot. The influence of the experimental conditions on the slope value has been excluded via a simultaneous measurement of a reference sample with a high nanotube content (95 vol. %). After the calibration (done by a comparison of the Raman and the transmission electron microscopy data for the nanotube percentage in the same samples) the Raman-based method is able to provide a quantitative purity estimation for any nanotube-containing material.

二极管激光吸收光谱法对低气压介质阻挡放电等离子体中氩的亚稳态的诊断

利用可调谐二极管激光吸收光谱技术对低气压氩气介质阻挡放电等离子体进行诊断,重点考察了Ar亚稳态1s₅和1s₃的数密度和气体温度随放电电压,气压,流量,极板间距,以及随N₂配比的变化情况。实验基于朗伯-比尔(Lambert-Beer)定律,通过计算吸收谱线的吸收峰面积求取Ar亚稳态的数密度,同时对谱线进行Voigt拟合得到多普勒展宽,进而求出气体温度。Ar亚稳态主要由电子碰撞产生,但同时电子也会碰撞亚稳态发生猝灭作用,从而使数密度减少;气体温度则与等离子体的实际功率、电子的状态以及粒子之间的碰撞有关。实验结果表明在本实验条件范围内,Ar亚稳态数密度和气体温度随放电电压和流量的增大都先增大,之后逐渐趋于平缓,但两者随流量的变化幅度都较之随放电电压的小,增长较缓慢。随气压的升高,Ar亚稳态数密度和气体温度先增加并达到一个极大值,而之后逐渐降低。实验数据表明,气压对谱线展宽有较明显的影响作用。适当增大极板间距,Ar亚稳态数密度明显降低,但气体温度却有所升高。N₂的加入对亚稳态有很强的猝灭作用,0.5%的N₂就会使数密度下降50%,但随着N₂浓度的进一步增大,其数密度不再明显降低。
