Calculation of the photoelectron spectra under the scaling transform

By solving time-dependent Schrödinger equation, the dependence of photoelectron energy spectra on the binding energy of targets, wavelength and intensity of laser pulse is exhibited and a scaling law of kinetic energy spectra of both the direct and the rescattered photoelectrons is concluded. The scaling law provides a convenient tool to determine the equivalent photoionization process of various atoms or molecules in various laser fields. The verification of the scaling law by independent methods provides an incontestable support to the validity of the scaling law.     

Thermal noise limit in measuring the gravitational constant G using the angular acceleration method and the dynamic deflection method

A general comparison is made between two methods of measuring the gravitational constant G. The angular acceleration method can avoid the anelasticity effect since the torsion fiber is not twisted. The dynamic deflection method is similar in principle but it does not use feedback, therefore a major noise introduced by the feedback control system in the angular acceleration method can be avoided. Both methods have their advantages and can be performed with the same device. Based on different expressions of G, we have expressed the signal-to-noise ratio and calculated the thermal noise limit for both methods. In order to get a lower thermal noise limit, the dynamic deflection method should avoid resonance.     

润滑油对基于制冷循环的喷雾冷却系统性能的影响

针对高功率固体激光器的散热需求,设计了一种基于制冷循环的喷雾冷却系统,并对其换热性能进行研究。由于制冷系统的压缩机需要润滑,冷却液中不可避免地会混有润滑油。润滑油会对冷却液的粘度、表面张力产生影响,并可能产生油膜,从而对冷却液的换热过程产生强化或抑制。因此,通过实验研究,分析了润滑油对喷雾冷却换热性能的影响。实验结果表明,冷却液中存在润滑油,会增大冷却液流经喷嘴过程中的阻力,减小流量,但根据本系统的应用情况,可以忽略;在低热流密度时,含有一定量的润滑油更有利于热源表面温度的均匀分布,高热流密度时,2%(质量分数)的含油量对温度分布不均的影响可以忽略;润滑油的存在可以提高临界热流密度,使得系统的散热能力得到提高,更有利于其在高功率固体激光器散热领域的应用。     

Diffusion Tensor Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Ring-Enhancing Cerebral Lesions

The objective of this study is to determine differential diagnostic value of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in high-grade brain astrocytomas, brain solitary metastases and brain abscesses. 53 patients with cerebral solitary lesions which showed ring enhancement on contrast-enhanced T ₁-weighted images were enrolled in this study. Brain tissues were examined pathologically from 49 patients to confirm the cerebral occupational diseases. Four patients have been diagnosed with primary cancer plus brain solitary metastasis. DTI measurements were obtained from regions of interest placed on central cavity, white matter of the immediate peritumoral region (IPR) and cerebral white matter of the normal side. The cavity of high-grade astrocytoma and brain metastases displayed hypointense signals; most of the brain abscess cavities displayed high signal intensity except for one case with uneven signal intensity. Mean diffusivity (MD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) values could be used for differentiation between tumor and abscess in brain. The brain abscess cavities showed restricted diffusion and anisotropy [MD = (0.604 ± 0.13) × 10⁻³ mm²/s, FA = 0.185 ± 0.03], whereas the central portion of high-grade astrocytoma [MD = (2.76 ± 0.26) × 10⁻³ mm²/s, FA = 0.069 ± 0.02] and solitary brain metastases [MD = (2.82 ± 0.29) × 10⁻³ mm²/s, FA = 0.064 ± 0.02] showed unrestricted diffusion and isotropy. Brain abscess could be differentiated by MD and FA values in their cavities from brain tumors (P < 0.01). The IPRs were all depicted as hyperintense or isointense signals on diffusion-weighted imaging. The difference between FA values in the IPR of high-grade brain astrocytomas and other groups was statistically significant (P < 0.01). In conclusion, our results suggested the potential role of the cavity MD and FA values in the differential diagnoses of brain tumors and brain abscesses; meanwhile, high-grade astrocytomas could be distinguished from solitary metastases and abscesses by evaluating their corresponding FA values in the IPR on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Combined with conventional MRI, DTI may help radiologists to facilitate the differential diagnosis of ring-enhancing cerebral lesions in clinical practice.     

K-shell ionization cross section of aluminium induced by low-energy highly charged argon ions

Al K-shell X-ray yields are measured with highly charged Ar^q+ ions (q=12–16) bombarding against aluminium. The energy range of the Ar ions is from 180 to 380 keV. K-shell ionization cross sections of aluminium are also obtained from the yields data. The experimental data is explained within the framework of 2pπ -2pσ rotational coupling. When Ar ions with 2p-shell vacancies are incident on aluminium, the vacancies begin to reduce. Meanwhile, collisions against Al atoms lead to the production of new 2p-shell vacancies of Ar ions. These Ar 2p-shell vacancies will transfer to the 1s orbit of an Al atom via 2pπ-2pσ rotational coupling leading to the emission of a K-shell X-ray of aluminiun. A model is constructed based on the base of the above physical scenario. The calculation results of the model are in agreement with the experimental results.

Propagation properties of beams generated by Gaussian mirror resonator in uniaxial crystals

Based on the paraxial vectorial theory of beams propagating in uniaxially anisotropic media, we have derived the analytical propagation equations of beams generated by Gaussian mirror resonator (GMR) in uniaxial crystals, and given the typical numerical example to illustrate our analytical results. Due to the anisotropy crystals, the ordinary and extraordinary beams originated by incident beams generated by GMR propagate with different diffraction lengths, thus the linear polarization state and axial symmetry of the incident beams generated by GMR do not remain during propagating in crystals.     

Impact of organic contamination in vacuum on laser-induced damage threshold of TiO2/SiO2 dielectric mirrors

The influence of organic contamination in vacuum on the laser-induced damage threshold (LIDT) of coatings is studied. TiO2/SiO2 dielectric mirrors with high reflection at 1064 nm are deposited by the electronbeam evaporation method and their LIDTs are measured in vacuum and atmosphere, respectively.It is found that the contamination in vacuum is easily attracted to optical surfaces because of the low pressure and becomes the source of damage, O2 molecules in vacuum with contamination can accelerate the laser-induced damage by observing LIDT and damage morphologies. LIDTs of mirrors have a little change in vacuum compared with in atmosphere when the organic contamination is wiped off. The results indicate that organic contamination is a significant reason to decrease the LIDT in vacuum.     

Picosecond stimulated Raman scattering of BaWO4 crystal

In single-pass configuration, a picosecond pulse laser was used to investigate the stimulated Raman scattering in different BaWO₄ crystals. Using the thresholds for the first Stokes line along the a- and c-axis, the Raman gain coefficients of the BaWO₄ crystals were calculated along their respective direction. The higher Stokes (fourth) and anti-Stokes (third) lines were observed. Compared with other well-known Raman crystals, such as KGd(WO₄)₂ and Ba(NO₃)₂, BaWO₄ has favorable properties for scattering the pump radiation with picosecond pulse duration. The Raman gain coefficients of BaWO₄ are different, but do not vary for different transmission directions, which means that this Raman material can be selected more freely.
