Development of the Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Laser (COIL) with chemical generation of atomic iodine

This article addresses the development of a Chemical Oxygen-Iodine Laser (COIL) with alternative chemical ways of generating atomic iodine. Injection of atomic iodine as opposed to molecular iodine has the potential to improve the COIL efficiency. This paper describes two chemical methods for generating iodine atoms based on the gas phase reactions of hydrogen/deuterium iodide with fluorine or chlorine atoms, which are also produced chemically. Simplified one-dimensional gas dynamic modeling that describes the stream-wise profiles of species concentrations within both reaction systems is used to gain a theoretical understanding of both reaction systems under COIL conditions. The modeling results are used for the design of an experimental device and the interpretation of experimental data. The first experimental investigation studies the production of iodine atoms produced from reactions of Cl with HI. Atomic iodine yields of 70–100% in nitrogen are obtained, and the gain on the I(² P _1/2)–I(² P _3/2) transition in a flow of singlet oxygen is measured.

Pulsed Operation of High-Pressure-Sodium Discharge Lamps

Results of spectral and photometric measurements are presented for pulsed operated high-pressure-sodium lamps. Choosing for the colour temperature a value of 3000 K, the output spectrum was optimized with respect to colour rendition and lamp efficacy taking the pulse parameters, the sodium mole fraction, and the cold spot temperature as quantities to be varied. For the nominal rating of 70 W a maximum lamp efficacy of 70 lm/W and a colour rendering index of 40 can be obtained. Further improvements of the colour rendition require an enhanced sodium vapour pressure which can be achieved by operating the lamp at rised cold spot temperature.     

非稳腔氧碘激光器近场杂散光传输特性

氧碘高能激光近场存在较多的杂散光,这些光会严重影响光束传输和光束质量控制。通过对杂散光的产生机理、类型和传输规律的分析和模拟确定了不同类型杂散光的测量方法。利用两个能量计测量了30m通道自由传输时的传输效率,利用测试光阑获得了通道内杂散光角谱曲线和镜面散射光能量。实验表明30m通道自由传输时的能量损失约为5.2%,杂散光的角谱随着传输距离的增加逐渐增大,角谱也会随着光束质量的恶化显著增加。利用角谱曲线可以获得通道内任意位置处光阑上的热负荷,这为高能激光热管理技术奠定了坚实的基础。     

近共振传能放热对氧碘化学激光器性能的影响

在氧碘化学激光器(COIL)中,O2(1Δ)与I的近共振传能反应是一个放热反应;它与水汽等的猝灭放热反应一样会对激射过程产生不利影响,而且是不可避免的。计算了猝灭放热效应对光腔气动特性输出功率的影响。得到了近共振传能放热的大小与粒子数反转和激射的光子数相关,即与光腔内的增益、光场强度分布成正比,故主要发生在激光器的上游区前半部分。模型计算表明,其影响程度大致相当于7%水汽所致的对氧碘化学激光器的影响。完善了氧碘化学激光器理论计算模型。

Magnetic and Gas Sensing Property of Nanosized NiFe2O4 Powders Synthesized by Pulsed Wire Discharge

Nickel ferrite (NiFe₂O₄) powders were synthesized by pulsed wire discharge method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses show that only nickel ferrite spinel and no other phase was observed in the powders. Mean size of the obtained particles strongly depended on the oxygen pressure: the higher oxygen pressure corresponds to larger powder size, as determined by Brunauer–Emmet–Teller (BET). The room temperature saturation magnetization of the synthesized powders was 42–46 emu/g depending on the powder size. These powders also showed high chlorine sensitivity at about 280–360°C, and a good linear sensitivity with chlorine concentration.

高速时空分辨光谱仪的构建及其在水中纳秒脉冲火花放电光谱诊断中的应用

近年来对水中高压脉冲放电等离子体特性的诊断研究越来越受到重视。测量单个放电脉冲放电等离子体的时间-空间分辨发射光谱,有助于研究水中脉冲放电等离子体的时空演化动力学特性和规律。在本研究中将四分幅超高速相机和单色仪结合,构建了一种跟踪单个放电脉冲的高速时空分辨光谱仪,开发了相应的光谱分析软件。用波长632.8 nm的He-Ne激光器,在1 200 g·mm-1刻线光栅条件下对光谱仪的性能进行了测试。结果表明：对应He-Ne氦氖激光632.8 nm谱线的像素分辨率为0.013 nm。在曝光时间20 ns时,单色仪狭缝宽度0.2 mm时632.8 nm谱线的仪器展宽为(0.150±0.009)nm,仪器展宽随着狭缝宽度的增加呈现增大趋势。曝光时间的变化不会引起仪器展宽的变化,能够确保在调节相机曝光时间的过程中不影响光谱仪性能。利用该高速分辨光谱仪对水中纳秒火花放电发射光谱进行了测量,单次曝光获得了单一脉冲放电等离子体时空演化光谱。今后进一步完善实验室的电路条件消除放电干扰,可以对单个放电脉冲进行更细致的测量,为研究单个放电脉冲等离子体参数的时空演化特性提供良好的技术手段。

Chemical and Structural Properties of Drug–protein Nanocomposites Prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition from Conjugated Targets

Nanostructured indomethacin (IM) – bovine serum albumin (BSA) composite particulates below 50 nm were obtained by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) with 1064 nm IR beam. IM and BSA powders were coground for up to 210 min to prepare conjugated targets for PLD with varying structural states. The ablation threshold was determined to be around 1.8 J/cm², from in situ monitoring of the deposited amount by a QCM sensor. The crystallinity of IM was preserved after PLD at 5 J/cm² and decreased with increasing the laser fluence. The non-crystalline state of IM in the target after prolonged cogrinding with BSA, was also preserved in the deposited film. FT-IR absorption bands due to amide I of BSA became sharper while preserving the peak top position after cogrinding with IM. Conversely, we observed broadening of the amide I bands by PLD. Preservation and change in the chemical and structural states of the conjugates after PLD is discussed in terms of the secondary structure of BSA and crystallinity of IM.
