Optical diagnostics for particle-cleaning process utilizing laser-induced shockwave

The dynamics of laser-induced plasma/shockwave and the interaction with a surface in the laser shock cleaning process are analyzed by optical diagnostics. Shockwaves are generated by a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser in air or with N₂, Ar, and He injection into the focal spot. The shock velocity is measured by monitoring the photoacoustic probe–beam deflection signal under different conditions. In addition, nanosecond time-resolved images of shockwave propagation and interaction with the substrate are obtained by the laser-flash shadowgraphy. The results reveal the effect of various operation parameters of the laser shock cleaning process on shockwave intensity, energy-conversion efficiency, and flow characteristics. Discussions are made on the cleaning mechanisms based on the experimental observations. PACS 81.65.Cf; 42.62.-b; 47.40.Nm     

Expansion,compression and triangular shockwaves in traffic flow above critical point

We study the formation of shockwaves from an initial condition of the pulse form in supercritical flow of traffic by using the optimal velocity model. The jam with the pulse form propagates with changing the initial form. The wave velocity is derived numerically and analytically. The dependence of wave velocity on headway is clarified. When the headway is lower than the safety distance, the rear of initial pulse evolves to the expansion shockwave, while the front of initial pulse evolves to the compression shockwave if the headway is higher than the safety distance. The dependence of wave velocity on headway determines whether either expansion or compression waves evolve to the shockwave. After the rear of initial pulse collapses with the front, the wave evolves to the triangular shockwave. It is shown that the triangular shockwave is described by the Burgers equation.     

一种激光损伤阈值测试新方法

随着激光器朝向大功率、高能量的方向发展,激光损伤阈值成为了衡量光学元件抗激光损伤能力的重要参数之一,因此,能否准确地测量出光学元件的激光损伤阈值成为研究的重点。而光学元件激光损伤阈值测试的关键是能否准确地判别光学元件是否发生激光损伤。为解决目前常见的损伤判别方法存在的精度低、识别时间长、适用材料范围窄、操作复杂等不足,提出了一种新的激光损伤的判别方法,即等离子体诊断法。以K9玻璃为例,搭建激光损伤阈值的测试平台,利用光纤光谱仪采集强激光辐照K9玻璃时所产生的激光等离子体闪光光谱,并对该光谱进行诊断分析,将该光谱中是否含有待测试光学元件材料中特征元素的光谱峰作为其是否收到激光损伤的标准。同时,对K9玻璃进行了激光损伤阈值的测试,并将测试结果与等离子体闪光法和显微镜法所测的激光损伤阈值进行了对比分析。实验表明,提出的等离子体诊断方法的判别精度高、速度快、测试装置结构简单,易实现在线测量,可以大大地提高光学元件激光损伤阈值测试工作的效率。     

Stimulated Raman scattering of lattice translational modes in liquid heavy water

A study was conducted on stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) when laser-induced plasma is formed in heavy water by focusing an intense picosecond pulsed Nd:YAG laser beam with wavelength 532 nm at room temperature. An unexpected 280 cm(-1) low frequency SRS line attributed to the lattice translational modes is observed. This SRS line and the internal-mode SRS lines indicate that the ice VII structure is formed in heavy water under the condition of laser-induced shockwave production.     

Experimental study on high-energy surface arc plasma excitation control of cylindrical detached shock wave

In this study, an electrical parameter test system and a high-speed Schlieren system are used to study the control of a cylindrical detached shock wave through high-energy surface arc plasma excitation. The results show that, when plasma excitation is not applied, the bow shockwave angle around the cylinder is 52°. After the plasma excitation is applied, the arc discharge releases a large amount of heat within a short time, generating a shockwave and a control gas bulb (CGB). As a result, the bow shockwave angle first decreases and then increases, the pressure ratio before and after the shockwave decreases, and the intensity of the bow shockwave weakens. At t = 280 μs, the bow shockwave angle is reduced to a minimum of 46°. The effective interference time of high-energy surface arc plasma excitation on a cylindrical detached shockwave is 820 μs. A high temperature is used to control the heating effect of the bubbles, which will increase the local sound velocity near the wall, reduce the local Mach number, cause the sound velocity to move online, and eventually push the bow shockwave away from the cylinder. Concurrently, heating will accelerate the gas flow, reduce the pressure, and cause the mass flow in the unit flow area of the heated area to decrease, resulting in a strong compression effect, which deforms the bow shockwave. The high-energy surface arc plasma excitation will provide a potential technical means for high-speed aircraft detached shockwave control.

硅探测器的数字化脉冲形状甄别

介绍了利用硅探测器的脉冲形状甄别进行粒子鉴别的原理。详细叙述了基于数字化方法的脉冲形状甄别的实现。采样频率和位数是数字化方法的两个重要参数。对于硅探测器信号,采用100 MS/s,12 bit的Digitizer可以满足脉冲形状甄别法对时间分辨的要求。同时对该方法粒子鉴别的特征和能量阈值做了简要的分析和对比。粒子背面入射硅探测器的所得的阈值低于正面入射的情况。例如对于氖周围的同位素,背面入射情况的阈值约为100 MeV,为正面入射情况下鉴别阈值的二分之一,相当与ΔE-E方法中ΔE探测器厚度约为60 μm情况下的阈值。最后定性讨论了硅探测器的电阻率不均匀性和沟道效应对粒子鉴别性能的影响。In this paper Pulse Shape Discrimination(PSD) for silicon detector has been briefly introduced. The emerging digital method successfully applied to detector signal processing makes digital PSD method one of the most promising particle identification methods. Sampling frequency and the number of bits are two key parameters of digital method. For silicon detector signal, adopting 100 Ms/s, 12 bit Digitizer can satisfy the time resolution requirement of PSD method. The identification characteristic and energy threshold of this method have been discussed and compared with both front injection and rear injection cases. Energy threshold with rear injection usually is much lower than that with front injection. For example, around for Neon isotope energy threshold with rear injection is about 100 MeV which is only half of the threshold with front injection, also equivalent to thickness of about 60 μm silicon detector threshold in ΔE-E method. At the end the impact of silicon detector's resistivity nonuniformity and channel effect on the identification capacity of PSD method has been discussed in detail.     

Laser plasma shockwave cleaning of SiO2 particles on gold film

A Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) induces optical breakdown of the airborne above the gold-coated K9 glass surface and the created shockwave removes the SiO₂ particles contaminated on the gold films. The laser cleaning efficiency has been characterized by optical microscopy, dark field imaging, ultraviolet-visible-near infrared spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and the Image-pro software. The relationships between removal ratio and particle position and laser gap distance have been studied in the case of single pulse laser cleaning. The results show that the 1064 nm laser induced plasma shockwave can effectively remove the SiO₂ particles. The removal ratio can reach above 90%. The effects of particle position and laser gap distance on the cleaning efficiency are simulated for the single pulse laser cleaning. The simulated results are consistent with the experimental ones.     

Aeolian transport layer

We investigate the airborne transport of particles on a granular surface by the saltation mechanism through numerical simulation of particle motion coupled with turbulent flow. We determine the saturated flux q(s) and show that its behavior is consistent with classical empirical relations obtained from wind tunnel measurements. Our results also allow one to propose and explain a new relation valid for small fluxes, namely, q(s) = a(u*-u(t))alpha, where u* and u(t) are the shear and threshold velocities of the wind, respectively, and the scaling exponent is alpha approximately 2. We obtain an expression for the velocity profile of the wind distorted by the particle motion due to the feedback and discover a novel dynamical scaling relation. We also find a new expression for the dependence of the height of the saltation layer as a function of the wind velocity.     

Machining of transparent materials using an IR and UV nanosecond pulsed laser

Channels are traditionally machined in materials by drilling from the front side into the bulk. The processing rate can be increased by two orders of magnitude for transparent materials by growing the channel from the rear side. The process is demonstrated using nanosecond laser pulses to drill millimeter-sized channels through thick silica windows. Absorbing defects are introduced onto the rear surface to initiate the coupling of energy into the material. Laser drilling then takes place when the fluence exceeds a threshold. The drilling rate increases linearly with fluence above this threshold. While UV light drills about four times faster than IR light, the pulse length (in the nanosecond regime) and the pulse repetition rate (in the 0.1–10 Hz range) do not greatly influence the drilling rate per pulse. Drilling rates in excess of 100 μm per pulse are achieved by taking advantage of the propagation characteristics of the plasma created at the drilling front. The plasma during rear-side drilling generates a laser-supported detonation wave into the bulk material. The geometry also seems to increase the efficiency of the laser-induced plasma combustion and shock wave during the pulse by confining it in front of the channel tip.

Early stage of the material removal during ArF laser ablation of graphite

Material removal during ArF excimer laser ablation of graphite at atmospheric pressure was investigated by two independent methods; 1) by observation of the propagating properties of the shock wave generated by the carbonaceous ejecta and 2) by in situ measurement of the size distribution of carbon nanoparticles condensing in the ablation plume. This latter was carried out by a scanning mobility particle sizer system based on a differential mobility analyser. The performed measurements indicate that the material removal during ArF laser ablation consists of two steps at fluences above the threshold fluence. First, a thin layer of carbon (of the order of 1 nm) is removed by a quick desorption process, leading to shockwave formation. This process takes place in a ns time scale, and desorption rate estimations reveal that this can not be explained by thermal surface evaporation. Since to our knowledge there is no thermal process that could account for the estimated desorption rate, it is argued that this is a fast photochemical (i.e. non-thermal) process. The size distribution of the condensed nanoparticles related to this step shows a rising edge at diameters below 10 nm. At fluences above the ablation threshold, the majority of the material is ejected in the second phase, resulting in condensation of carbon nanoparticles, peaking at 50 nm diameters in the size spectrum. Both shockwave formation and material removal are also detected well below the ablation threshold fluence, which is attributed to the photochemical process. PACS 61.46.+w; 81.16.Mk

Postprocessing treatments to improve the laser damage resistance of fused silica optical surfaces and SiO2 coatings

The combination of deep wet etching and a magneto-rheological finishing(MRF) process is investigated to simultaneously improve laser damage resistance of a fused-silica surface at 355 nm. The subsequently deposited SiO2 coatings are researched to clarify the impact of substrate finishing technology on the coatings. It is revealed that a deep removal proceeding from the single side or double side had a significant impact on the laser-induced damage threshold(LIDT) of the fused silica, especially for the rear surface. After the deep etching, the MRF process that followed does not actually increase the LIDT, but it does ameliorate the surface qualities without additional LIDT degradation. The combination guarantee both the integrity of the surface’s finish and the laser damage resistance of the fused silica and subsequent SiO2 coatings.     

Scaling laws in aeolian sand transport

We report on wind tunnel measurements on saltating particles in a turbulent boundary layer and provide evidence that over an erodible bed the particle velocity in the saltation layer and the saltation length are almost invariant with the wind strength, whereas over a nonerodible bed these quantities vary significantly with the air friction speed. It results that the particle transport rate over an erodible bed does not exhibit a cubic dependence with the air friction speed, as predicted by Bagnold, but a quadratic one. This contrasts with saltation over a nonerodible bed where the cubic Bagnold scaling holds. Our findings emphasize the crucial role of the boundary conditions at the bed and may have important practical consequences for aeolian sand transport in a natural environment.     

Quasihard-sphere model in simulation of the processes of particle scattering

A model of interatomic potentials of interaction is suggested for static simulation of the processes of elastic scattering of atomic particles by atoms of gas, plasma, and solid. In the developed model, the atomic particle radii, whose magnitude depends on the energy of their relative motion, are internal parameters. The suggested quasihard-sphere model enables one to simulate elastic processes of scattering of atomic particles, using different interatomic potentials of interaction with relatively high rates of statistical simulation characteristic of simulation within the hard-sphere model. The Born-Mayer potential is selected as the interatomic potential of interaction and modified for a wide class of partners in atomic collisions. It is demonstrated that the suggested mathematical model of quasihard spheres describes fairly correctly the processes of elastic scattering of atoms in a gas medium and of displaced atoms in a solid with an almost constant rate of static simulation.

Generation and expansion of laser-induced plasma as a spectroscopic emission source

Laser-induced plasma represents today a widespread spectroscopic emission source. It can be easily generated using compact and reliable nanosecond pulsed laser on a large variety of materials. Its application for spectrochemical analysis for example with laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has become so popular that one tends to forget the complex physical and chemical processes leading to its generation and governing its evolution. The purpose of this review article is to summarize the backgrounds necessary to understand and describe the laser-induced plasma from its generation to its expansion into the ambient gas. The objective is not to go into the details of each process; there are numerous specialized papers and books for that in the literature. The goal here is to gather in a same paper the essential understanding elements needed to describe laser-induced plasma as results from a complex process. These elements can be dispersed in several related but independent fields such as laser-matter interaction, laser ablation of material, optical and thermodynamic properties of hot and ionized gas, or plasma propagation in a background gas. We believe that presenting the ensemble of understanding elements of laser-induced plasma in a comprehensive way and in limited pages of this paper will be helpful for further development and optimized use of the LIBS technique. Experimental results obtained in our laboratory are used to illustrate the studied physical processes each time such illustration becomes possible and helpful.
