Beam based alignment of the SSRF storage ring

There are 140 beam position monitors （BPMs） in the Shanghai Synchrotron Radiation Facility （SSRF） storage ring used for measuring the closed orbit. As the BPM pickup electrodes are assembled directly on the vacuum chamber, it is important to calibrate the electrical center offset of the BPM to an adjacent quadrupole magnetic center. A beam based alignment （BBA） method which varies individual quadrupole magnet strength and observes its effects on the orbit is used to measure the BPM offsets in both the horizontal and vertical planes. It is a completely automated technique with various data processing methods. There are several parameters such as the strength change of the correctors and the quadrupoles which should be chosen carefully in real measurement. After several rounds of BBA measurement and closed orbit correction, these offsets are set to an accuracy better than 10 μm. In this paper we present the method of beam based calibration of BPMs, the experimental results of the SSRF storage ring, and the error analysis.     

Will the recently approved LARES mission be able to measure the Lense–Thirring effect at 1%?

After the approval by the Italian Space Agency of the LARES satellite, which should be launched at the end of 2009 with a VEGA rocket and whose claimed goal is a ≈1% measurement of the general relativistic gravitomagnetic Lense–Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the Earth, it is of the utmost importance to reliably assess the total realistic accuracy that can be reached by such a mission. The observable is a linear combination of the nodes of the existing LAGEOS and LAGEOS II satellites and of LARES able to cancel out the impact of the first two even zonal harmonic coefficients of the multipolar expansion of the classical part of the terrestrial gravitational potential representing a major source of systematic error. While LAGEOS and LAGEOS II fly at altitudes of about 6,000 km, LARES should be placed at an altitude of 1,450 km. Thus, it will be sensitive to much more even zonals than LAGEOS and LAGEOS II. Their corrupting impact has been evaluated up to degree ℓ = 70 by using the sigmas of the covariance matrices of eight different global gravity solutions (EIGEN-GRACE02S, EIGEN-CG03C, GGM02S, GGM03S, JEM01-RL03B, ITG-Grace02s, ITG-Grace03, EGM2008) obtained by five institutions (GFZ, CSR, JPL, IGG, NGA) with different techniques from long data sets of the dedicated GRACE missions. It turns out to be ≈100–1,000% of the Lense–Thirring effect. An improvement of 2–3 orders of magnitude in the determination of the high degree even zonals would be required to constrain the bias to ≈1–10%.     

可调间隙亚纳秒气体开关的优化设计

 对用于UWB-1系统的可调间隙亚纳秒气体开关进行了结构优化设计,并采用Ansoft软件分别对开关绝缘子和电极处的静电场进行了模拟。优化后的调节旋钮在实验调试中使用方便,能准确地测量开关间隙的大小。绝缘子结构优化后,局部场强集中点的最大场强降低为126.6 kV·mm^-1,低于理论击穿场强,满足了绝缘要求。对优化后的亚纳秒气体开关进行了高压实验,结果表明：绝缘子处没有击穿现象发生,开关工作稳定,输出脉冲的前后沿变快且脉宽变窄。系统重复频率5 Hz运行时,优化后的脉冲前后沿和脉宽分别比优化前减小了130,120和100 ps。系统重复频率100 Hz运行时,优化后的脉宽比优化前减小了150 ps,比重复频率5 Hz运行时只增加了30 ps。

Performance investigation of microphotonic-silicon devices in a field-trial all-optical network

The performance of microphotonic-silicon devices in a geographically-distributed optical fiber network is experimentally investigated. Two different devices are tested: an optical filter based on a silicon ring resonator and an all-optical wavelength converter based on four-wave mixing in a dispersion-tailored highly nonlinear silicon waveguide. The evaluation of the devices is performed by means of eye diagrams and measurements of the bit error rate.
