激光辐照下复合材料树脂基热分解3维温度场模型

 采用控制体积法,从质量和能量守恒角度,推导了激光辐照下复合材料树脂基热分解时温度变化的基本方程。用多步模型描述树脂的热分解反应。提出了热分解气体的1维运动假设,这使得可以在3维情况下考虑热分解气体对流传输的影响,且在不引入力学量的前提下实现3维温度场模型的封闭。考虑到树脂基复合材料的各向异性,对部分分解材料的导热率计算公式进行了推导,并重新推导了部分分解材料对激光的吸收系数计算公式。在一定的简化下,推导的能量守恒方程与文献结果一致。     

高功率光纤激光器二级抽运技术的理论分析

从理论上分析了高功率光纤激光器直接抽运和二级抽运的斜率效率和热管理问题. 计算结果表明:波长为975 nm的激光直接抽运产生波长为1070 nm的激光时,理论斜率效率为80%,但当抽运光功率为10 kW时,在强制水冷条件下纤芯极值温度也难以降到150 ℃以下;在二级抽运技术中,波长为1018 nm的激光抽运产生波长为1070 nm的激光时,若采用传统的包层抽运技术,其斜率效率不足20%,如果抽运功率填充因子由0.0025提高到0.1,则理论上斜率效率可由18.5%提高到80.9%,从而总斜率效率由15.5 关键词： 二级抽运 功率填充因子 斜率效率 热管理

利用共轭反射计装置,开展了真空环境中激光作用下环氧/硅树脂双层结构复合涂层的1.3μm反射特性研究,测量得到了涂层反射率随样品背表面温度的变化曲线。通过有限元分析和界面热阻修正得到了反射率随涂层温度的变化关系,探讨了反射率随温度的变化机理。研究结果表明,红外连续激光损伤环氧/硅树脂复合涂层,主要表现为底漆热解引发的鼓包分层和面漆热解导致的烧蚀变色;常温下涂层对1.3μm激光的反射率约为0.80,激光辐照初始时变化不明显,鼓包前后出现波动,测量区涂层鼓包、烧蚀后反射率显著下降,最终保持在一个相对较低值;反射率变化与涂层热解过程、损伤方式密切相关,涂层对1.3μm激光的反射率变化存在3个特征温度,分别对应底漆热解、面漆热解和表面状态趋于稳定时的温度。     

Coherent Beam Combination of Eight Watt-Level Polarization-Maintained Fiber Amplifiers

We demonstrate the coherent beam combination of eight Watt-level polarization-maintained fiber amplifiers. The phase control signal of each amplifier is generated by running a stochastic parallel gradient descent algorithm on a digital signal processor （DSP）. The experimental result shows that the whole system in close-loop performs well for long-time observation. Energy encircled in the target pinhole is 6.68 times more than that in open-loop. The combination efficiency is as high as 84.5%.

Propagation of Four-Petal Gaussian Beams in Turbulent Atmosphere

An analytical expression for the average intensity of four-petal Gaussian beams in turbulent atmosphere is derived. Studies show that in turbulent atmosphere, the contour lines of four-petal Gaussian beams with lower order N evolve into a number of petals with the increase in propagation distance, the contour lines with higher order N can reserve four-petal distribution at longer propagation distance than that with lower order N. These properties are similar to those in free space. However, with further increases of the propagation distance, the contours lines in turbulent atmosphere are different from those in free space.     

Multi-wavelength laser active coherent combination

A seed laser oscillating at different frequencies is proved to have the potential to mitigate the stimulated Brillouin scattering(SBS) effect in a fiber amplifier,which may increase the emission power of a coherent beam combination(CBC) system greatly.In this study,a basic mathematical model describing the multi-wavelength CBC is proposed on the fundamentals of CBC.A useful method for estimating the combination effect and analysing the feasibility and the validity of the multi-wavelength coherent combination is provided.In the numerical analysis,accordant results with four-wavelength four-channel CBC experiments are obtained.Through calculations of some examples with certain spectra,the unanticipated excellent combination effect with a few frequencies involved is explained,and the dependence of the combination effect on the variance of the amplifier chain length and the channel number is clarified.     

A novel 2-μm pulsed fiber laser based on a supercontinuum source and its application to mid-infrared supercontinuum generation

A new method to achieve 2-μm pulsed fiber lasers based on a supercontinuum(SC) is demonstrated. The incident pump light is a pulsed SC which contains a pump light and a signal light at the same time. The initial signal of the seed laser is provided by the incident pump light and amplified in the cavity. Based on this, we obtain a 2-μm pulsed laser with pulse repetition rate of 50 kHz and pulse width of 2 ns from the Tm-doped fiber laser. This 2-μm pulsed laser is amplified by two stages of fiber amplifiers, then the amplified laser is used for mid-infrared(mid-IR) SC generation in a 10-m length of ZrF4–BaF2–LaF3–AlF3–NaF(ZBLAN) fiber. An all-fiber-integrated mid-IR SC with spectrum ranging from 1.8 μm to4.3 μm is achieved. The maximal average output power of the mid-IR SC from the ZBLAN fiber is 1.24 W(average output power beyond 2.5 μm is 340 mW), corresponding to an output efficiency of 6.6% with respect to the 790-nm pump power.
