环境光对PE塑料薄膜近红外激光拉曼光谱的影响

探讨了环境光自然光和室内荧光灯光的存在,对PE透明塑料薄膜的近红外激光拉曼光谱的影响.研究表明不同的环境光,会对近红外拉曼光谱产生不同的明显特征峰.自然光干扰产生的是以倒峰群形式为主,而室内荧光灯光造成的干扰主要以尖锐的脉冲峰形式.虽干扰表现形式不同,但都有严重地影响,在测定时一定要引起重视,不能忽略.建议在进行透明塑料近红外拉曼光谱检测时,须在暗室或暗罩遮光保护中进行,以完全隔离环境光的影响.     

金刚石窗口冷却Yb3+∶YAG DPSSL设计

针对高功率二极管重复率抽运的V型非稳腔Yb3+∶YAG激光头，提出了利用金刚石窗口冷却和直接水冷相结合的复合冷却设计.在YAG片的抽运面进行直接水冷，同时在激光提取面利用金刚石窗口冷却介质.金刚石优异的导热性能不仅能够有效地冷却激光介质，还能消除横向的温度梯度，解决了高功率激光器冷却和高功率抽运的矛盾.模拟结果表明对掺杂10 at %厚度为1.6 mm的Yb3+∶YAG片在抽运功率密度为20 kW/cm2，重复频率为10 Hz的条件下，要将最高温度控制在可接受的范围内（比如320 K），周围冷却水的对流换热系数约为4000 W/m2K.     

Approximate and Exact Small Signal Analysis for Single-Mode Fiber Near Zero Dispersion Wavelength with Higher Order Dispersion

This article presents the comparison of approximate and exact small-signal theories for analyzing the influence of the higher-order dispersion terms on dispersive optical communication systems operating near zero dispersion wavelength for linear single-mode fiber. For the approximate theory, the generalized conversion matrix has been reported and gives the transfer function of intensity and phase from the fiber input to fiber output for a laser source including the influence of any higher-order dispersion term. In addition, expressions for the small-signal frequency response and the relative intensity noise (RIN) response of an ultrafast laser diode including noises are derived. However, it is observed that the approximation assumed for the second-order dispersion term for the approximate analysis is not valid. From the approximate theory, the exact generalized conversion matrix and exact expressions for small-signal frequency response and relative intensity noise (RIN) are obtained. We show that for the exact theory, the second-order dispersion term has no effect on intensity and frequency response even at large modulating frequencies and large propagation distances contrary to the approximate theory as reported by other authors. But we show that third-order dispersion term certainly has some minute impact on the frequency and RIN response for long distance links at high modulating frequencies.     

The effect of microscopic features upon the transmissivity of enclosed laser ablated laminated metallised polymer films

A vacuum-deposited aluminium layer (20 nm) is sandwiched between two layers of laminated oriented polypropylene (OPP) film whose thickness varies from 20 to 40 μm. Selected areas of this sealed system were transparentised by the redistribution of the aluminium layer without breaking the seal or causing damage to the OPP film using a 75 W Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. The resultant transparentised films contain aluminium particles, distorted polymer areas and intact areas of the vacuum-coated aluminium layer. This paper investigates the effect of microscopic features upon the overall transmissivity of the laser-treated films and hence the quality of the transparentisation process.     

Two-axis-scanning laser Doppler vibrometer for precision engineering

Laser Doppler vibrometer (LVD) has been the most favorite instrument for precision dynamics measurement due to its non-contact, high accuracy and high resolution. However, LDV can only give the dynamic data of a particular location on the entire feature. In order to get the whole field data, a laser beam-scanning mechanism has to be implemented. Currently, motor-driven scanning mirror is used to move the measurement probe from one point to another. The mechanical vibrations of the scanning mirror will reduce the measurement accuracy. This paper introduces a novel scanning LDV optical system embodied in an acousto-optic deflector scanning mechanism. It can improve the measurement accuracy since there is no mechanical motion involved. One main advantage of this system is that it generates a laser scanning beam in parallel that is different from the beam scanning in the conventional scanning laser Doppler vibrometer (SLDV). The new system has a board scanning range. The measurement target size ranges from few tens of millimeters down to 10 μm. We have demonstrated the capability of the novel system on scanning measurements of features as big as ultra-precision cutting tool to features as tiny as AFM cantilever. We believe that the novel SLDV will find profound potential applications in the precision engineering field.     

Laser vaporization: A versatile method for studying metal clusters

Vaporizing solid samples of metals and semiconductors with a YAG Laser is a method well suited for producing molecules and clusters of those materials. The clusters are examined by either laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) or mass spectroscopic methods. The technique is valuable for both gas phase and matrix studies. The method is described and some applications, studying either the structure of small metal molecules or their reactions, are reviewed, with emphasis on our recent results from the LIF studies of LiBe, Al₂ and the reaction of Al with oxygen, yielding A1₂O. For larger clusters, Ion Cyclotron Resonance is an extremely valuable method, as we demonstrate by its application to the reactions of small charged silicon clusters with strong oxidising agents.     

Laser ablation lithography on thermoelectric semiconductor

In this paper, experimental results of the investigation of the periodic structure on thermoelectric semiconductor Cu₂Se are presented. Periodic structures were formed on surfaces of semiconductors due to multi-beam interaction of Q-switched Nd:YAG laser, which was operated in the lowest order of Gaussian mode and pulse duration 7 ns. Surface temperature evolution and transient reflectivity are studied during laser treatment. Creation of Cu islands in the maximal intensity of interference pattern was found.     

A thermoanalytical study of the formation and activation of novel copper-carbon catalysts

Simultaneous DSC-TG and DTA-TG were used to investigate the calatytic effect of the metal on the thermal decomposition of a cellulose matrix containing small copper particles. The techniques were also used to demonstrate the effect of the metal particles on the subsequent activation of the carbon matrix, a process which develops the pore structure necessary to expose the metal particles to the gas phase. Temperature programmed desorption was used to study the initial mass loss found on activation. To quantify the catalytic effect of the copper particles on the activation process an estimate was made of the activation energy of the catalysed and uncatalysed reactions. The work gives valuable information on the processes involved in the preparation of a new range of metal-carbon catalysts. In celebration of the 60^th birthday of Dr. Andrew K. Galwey     

The effects of flow split ratio and flow rate in manifolds

This paper reports a combined experimental and numerical investigation of three-dimensional steady turbulent flows in inlet manifolds of square cross-section. Predictions and measurements of the flows were carried out using computational fluid dynamics and laser Doppler anemometry techniques respectively. The flow structure was characterized in detail and the effects of flow split ratio and inlet flow rate were studied. These were found to cause significant variations in the size and shape of recirculation regions in the branches, and in the turbulence levels. It was then found that there is a significant difference between the flow rates through different branches. The performance of the code was assessed through a comparison between predictions and measurements. The comparison demonstrates that all important features of the flow are well represented by the predictions.     

木质装饰板材贫氧条件下燃烧和热解特性研究

本文利用热重差热分析仪,在各种不同的氧气浓度下对落叶松、红木和红松样品进行实验。通过对TG、DTG和DTA曲线的分析,样品干燥基要经历两个失重过程,第一个失重过程主要是纤维素和半纤维素的热解,第二个失重过程主要是木质素的炭化分解和燃烧。在各氧气浓度条件下,热解失重的第一个阶段TG和DTG曲线差异很小;在各样品失重的第二个阶段,随着氧气浓度的增加,TG和DTG曲线左移,反应结束的温度明显降低。氧气能使木质素的炭化物氧化并进而可能使其着火燃烧,从而使反应进程加快。当氧气浓度大于6.32%时,各样品DTA曲线上均有两个明显放热峰,并且随着氧气浓度的增加,DTA曲线放热峰越尖锐,放热峰面积越大,说明氧气浓度越大,在两阶段失重过程中更多的挥发分物质和固体炭化物参与燃烧。
