Yb:CaF2–YF3 transparent ceramics ultrafast laser at dual gain lines

Yb³⁺:CaF₂-YF₃ transparent ceramics with excellent optical quality was successfully fabricated by hot-pressed method. Pulsed laser properties of this ceramics were investigated for the first time. Laser diode (LD) was applied as the pump source to generate a dual-wavelength mode-locked (ML) laser. The maximum average output power was 310 mW, which represents the highest output power of ultrafast calcium fluoride ceramic laser. The spectrum separated at 1048.9 nm and 1049.7 nm with a total pulse duration of 8.9 ps. The interval period between the beating signals was about 4.3 ps, corresponding to a 0.23 THz beat pulse repetition rate. These results demonstrate its potential in producing dual-wavelength ultrashort pulses. These Yb³⁺:CaF₂-YF₃ ceramics with low-cost and short-preparation period are ideal candidate materials for ultrafast lasers.     

Contingent derivatives and regularization for noncoercive inverse problems

Abstract

We study the inverse problem of parameter identification in noncoercive variational problems that commonly appear in applied models. We examine the differentiability of the set-valued parameter-to-solution map using the first-order and the second-order contingent derivatives. We explore the inverse problem using the output least-squares and the modified output least-squares objectives. By regularizing the noncoercive variational problem, we obtain a single-valued regularized parameter-to-solution map and investigate its smoothness and boundedness. We also consider optimization problems using the output least-squares and the modified output least-squares objectives for the regularized variational problem. We give a complete convergence analysis showing that for the output least-squares and the modified output least-squares, the regularized minimization problems approximate the original optimization problems suitably. We also provide the first-order and the second-order adjoint method for the computation of the first-order and the second-order derivatives of the output least-squares objective. We provide discrete formulas for the gradient and the Hessian calculation and present numerical results.

Resilient dissipative dynamic output feedback control for uncertain Markov jump Lur’e systems with time-varying delays

The resilient dissipative dynamic output feedback control problem for a class of uncertain Markov jump Lur’e systems with piecewise homogeneous transition probabilities and time-varying delays in the discrete-time domain are examined in this study. The designed controller can tolerate additive uncertainties in the controller gain matrix, which result from controller implementations. The time-varying delays are also supposed to be mode-dependent with lower and upper bounds known a priori. By constructing a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional candidate, the sufficient conditions regarding the existence of desired resilient dissipative controllers are obtained in terms of linear matrix inequalities, thereby ensuring that the resulting closed-loop system is stochastically stable and strictly dissipative. Two numerical examples were established to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results.     

Terminal constrained robust hybrid iterative learning model predictive control for complex time-delayed batch processes

This work mainly addresses terminal constrained robust hybrid iterative learning model predictive control against time delay and uncertainties in a class of complex batch processes with input and output constraints. In this work, an equivalently novel extended two-dimensional switched system is first constructed to represent the process model by introducing state difference, output error and new relaxation variable information. Then, a hybrid predictive updating controller is proposed and an optimal performance index function including terminal constraints is designed. Under the condition that the switching signal meets certain conditions, the solvable problem of model predictive control is realized by Lyapunov stability theory. Meanwhile, the design scheme of controller parameters is also given. In addition, the robust constraint set is adopted to overcome the disadvantage that the traditional asymptotic stability cannot converge to the origin when it involves disturbances, such that the system state converges to the constraint set and meets its expected value. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is verified by controlling the speed and pressure parameters of the injection molding process.
