Design of data communication and management system for ground test and verification devices of space laser communication

Verification of a space laser communication system's parts or of component-level, terminal-level, and system-level performance using ground test and verification devices on the ground before launch is vital. In this paper, a data communication and management system is proposed, which is an important part of the ground test and verification devices system and manages the test process and impacts on the measurement results directly. We improved the existing hardware buses to make up the hardware part, and also designed the software part. Several typical tests were performed, and the results show that the maximum time delay is less than 50 ms. The developed data communication and management system is demonstrated to be a high-performance system which can meet the requirements in our project.     

Comprehensive studies on dielectric properties of p-methoxy benzylidene p-decyl aniline with function of temperature and frequency in planar geometry: A potential nematic liquid crystal for display devices

The dielectric properties of the nematic mesophase, p-methoxy benzylidene p-decyl aniline(MBDA), measured in planar geometry with a function of frequency and temperature are investigated in detail. The complex dielectric permittivity(ε' and ε') is also studied at a bias voltage of 10 V for planar aligned sample cell of nematic mesophase. The dielectric permittivity with bias voltage attains a higher( 2 times) value than that without bias voltage at a temperature of 56℃,which is due to the fact that the linking group of nematic molecules is internally interacted with an applied bias voltage.This is supported by observing an enhanced dielectric permittivity of nematic liquid crystal(LC) in the presence of bias voltage, which can be fully explained as the increasing of the corresponding dipole moment. The dielectric relaxation behaviors of nematic LC are also demonstrated for planar aligned sample cell. The remarkable results are observed that the relaxation frequency shifts into low frequency region with the increase of the bias voltage applied to the planar aligned sample cells. The dielectric relaxation spectra are fitted by Cole–Cole nonlinear curve fitting for nematic mesophase in order to determine the dielectric strength.
