Nonlinear analysis and enhancement of wing-based piezoaeroelastic energy harvesters

We investigate the level of harvested power from aeroelastic vibrations for an elastically mounted wing supported by nonlinear springs. The energy is harvested by attaching a piezoelectric transducer to the plunge degree of freedom. The considered wing has a low-aspect ratio and hence three dimensional aerodynamic effects cannot be neglected. To this end, the three dimensional unsteady vortex lattice method for the prediction of the unsteady aerodynamic loads is developed. A strong coupling scheme that is based on Hamming's fourth-order predictor–corrector method and accounts for the interaction between the aerodynamic loads and the motion of the wing is employed. The effects of the electrical load resistance, nonlinear torsional spring and eccentricity between the elastic axis and the gravity axis on the level of the harvested power, pitch and plunge amplitudes are investigated for a range of operating wind speeds. The results show that there is a specific wind speed beyond which the pitch motion does not pick any further energy from the incident flow. As such, the displacement in the plunge direction grows significantly and causes enhanced energy harvesting. The results also show that the nonlinear torsional spring plays an important role in enhancing the level of the harvested power. Furthermore, the harvested power can be increased by an order of magnitude by properly choosing the eccentricity and the load resistance. This analysis is helpful in designing piezoaeroelastic energy harvesters that can operate optimally at specific wind speeds.     

Pumping Power Minimization in Staggered Finned Circular and Elliptic-Tube Heat Exchangers in Turbulent Flow

An experimental study aimed at minimizing pumping power required to supply air through a finned tube bundle configuration is presented in this article. Results were obtained for the Reynolds number based on the smaller ellipse axis (RE_2b) ranging from 2,650 to 10,600, i.e., in turbulent flow. In the turbulent regime, pressure drops are expected to vary with eccentricity. Experimental optimization results for finned circular and elliptic tubes show that pumping power can be minimized with respect to tube spacing and eccentricity. In comparison with values obtained for circular tubes, the optimal elliptical arrangements show pumping power reductions from 5% to 10%.     

Corkscrew运动影响束流发射度的数值分析

 根据Corkscrew运动的特征,建立了束心Corkscrew运动及其对束流发射度的影响的理论模型,并进行了数值计算,揭示了束心Corkscrew运动造成束流积分发射度增长的一般规律,分析了有关参数对积分发射度的影响。计算结果显示,束心Corkscrew运动是叠加在束心平均偏轴上的一种横向运动,同时也是一种色散效应。虽然束心Corkscrew运动与束心平均偏轴具有很多相同的激励因素,但二者具有截然不同的机理。束流的能散度和初始入射角是Corkscrew运动的两个基本因素,而传输磁场、线圈磁轴倾斜及线圈安装方式对Corkscrew运动的幅度和频率构成较大的影响,并引起束流发射度的增长。只要存在初始入射角、初始入射偏轴或线圈磁轴倾斜中的任何一种因素,就会出现束心偏轴。在数值分析的基础上,针对减小束心Corkscrew运动和束轴的偏心提出了相应的抑制措施。

CW-COIL输出功率与输出孔径及光轴位置之间的依赖关系

 氧碘化学激光器由于复杂的动力学因素,激光介质的增益分布通常是不均匀的,这就使得激光输出功率并不完全随着激光输出孔径成线性增加,也由于这种增益分布的不均匀性,即使在激光输出孔径不变的情况下,激光输出功率也会随着光轴位置的改变而发生变化。为此,在激光器工作参数固定条件下,通过实验描述了激光输出功率与激光输出孔径及光轴位置之间存在着的一定的依赖关系。     

Gyrokinetic Analysis of Influence of Electron Beam Eccentricity on Operation of Higher-Order Mode in a Coaxial Cavity Gyrotron

A gyrokinetic analysis is presented to the influence of the electron beam eccentricity on the power and starting current of a coaxial cavity gyrotron, which operates in a higher-order mode TE_{31, 17, 1} with a frequency of 165 GHz. It is found that the starting current becomes larger because of the existence of the electron-beam eccentricity. Especially, the power will be decreased substantially by the electron beam eccentricity, for example, down to 93% of the power without any eccentricity even if the eccentricity is 1% of the outer conductor radius. The acceptable range of the electron beam voltage and operating magnetic field for the establishment of the electromagnetic oscillation is narrowed by the electron-beam eccentricity.

为了进一步提高多单管半导体激光器的输出功率,通过对常见的阶梯型多单管半导体阵列进行分析,提出在光斑尺寸较小的慢轴方向对光束进行填充,在同样的耦合条件下,使更多的激光能量耦合进光纤中,实现更高功率的输出。文中使用光参数积作为评价光束质量的指标,论证了慢轴光束填充的可行性,利用ZEMAX仿真软件对8路常见阶梯型多单管半导体阵列和12路填充阵列进行对比仿真,在不影响耦合效率的前提下,实现了将12路波长为860 nm、输出功率3 W的单管半导体激光器耦合进芯径105 μm、数值孔径0.22的光纤中,光纤输出功率为33.4 W,光纤耦合效率为92.78%。仿真结果表明,对慢轴方向进行光束填充可以在一定程度上提高多单管半导体激光的功率输出。     

915 nm宽条形半导体激光器输出特性

为了研究温升对915 nm宽条形应变量子阱半导体激光器输出特性的影响,搭建了基于半导体制冷片(TEC)的双向温控平台对其进行了测试。首先,改变激光器的外表面温度,测量其在不同注入电流时的光功率和波长,并利用CCD相机测量其慢轴发散角。然后,利用计算机仿真软件对激光器的工作状态进行稳态模拟,从而获得了其对应的热分布情况,通过将模拟得到的数据与实验测量的结果进行比较,获得了两者趋于一致的结论:当热功率从2.1 W升高至20.0 W时,慢轴发散角从2.6°增大至5.0°,同时波长发生红移,热透镜焦距减小;激光器波长随温度变化关系的系数约为0.4 nm/℃,器件热阻为1.5 K/W。因此,为了同时获得高的输出功率和稳定的输出波长,有必要将激光器外表面温度精确控制在某一数值,否则波长将会发生漂移;此外,在设计制作高功率半导体激光器时,通过适当增加条宽并采用散热良好的封装结构,可以减小对慢轴发散角的影响。

External resonator design for high-power laser diodes that yields 400mW of TEM(00) power

Normal diode lasers with average output powers of 1 W or more exhibit bad beam quality and therefore cannot be applied for high-precision applications or nonlinear optics. Therefore an external output coupling mirror was used in our experiments. Diffraction-limited operation was achieved, which yielded 400 mW of power and a factor-of-12 improvement in brightness. With this resonator type 1.1 W of average output power was also obtained, with a beam propagation factor of 2.6 in the slow axis; fast axis emission is always diffraction limited.

Determination of the thermal loading of diode-pumped Nd:YVO(4) by use of thermally induced second-harmonic output depolarization

A new method of using thermally induced second-harmonic output depolarization to determine the fractional thermal loading of a diode-pumped Nd:YVO(4) laser is proposed. The experimental results show that the fraction of the green output power polarized along the extraordinary axis of a KTP crystal, f(e) , is an oscillatory function of the absorbed pump power. The fractional thermal loading can be determined by measurement of the difference in the absorbed pump power between the peaks of f(e) .

The effect of an axial external magnetic field on the output power of a small-bore CuBr laser

In this work, the effect of an axial external moveable magnetic field on the output power of a CuBr laser with small-bore tube has been investigated. In all experiments, by applying an EMF along the tube axis, the laser output power has been decreased and by moving the EMF toward the cathode region, more substantial decrease of output power has been observed. The effect is more significant at a magnetic field intensity of 1100 G, Ne gas pressure of 35 Torr, frequency of 19 kHz and voltage of 3.8 kV, such that there was no laser emission when the EMF was placed around the cathode.
