Modal analysis and cutoff frequencies of a doubly clad plasma loaded waveguide having a lemniscates of Bernoulli-type core cross-section

The modal dispersion characteristics of EM waves in a new unconventional plasma loaded doubly clad waveguide having a shape of the lemniscates of Bernoulli-type core cross-section have been studied analytically. The proposed waveguide has three parts namely the core with slighter high index, the inner cladding with plasma and the outer cladding with air. Now using the necessary orthogonal coordinates for the proposed structure and imposing the boundary conditions under the weak guidance condition, the modal characteristics equation has been obtained considering variations in plasma width and plasma frequency, the dispersion curves and cutoff frequencies have been obtained and presented in this paper. It is noted that as the width of plasma layer increases, the cutoff frequency also increases considerably in all considered cases. This shows that using plasma width as a new parameter we can control any particular mode on our wish.     

A comparative study of dispersion relation of EM waves in ternary one-dimensional plasma photonic crystals having two different structures

In this paper, a rigorous theoretical analysis has been made to study the dispersion relation of EM waves in periodic ternary one-dimensional photonic crystal having two different structures. In one case we have chosen glass-plasma and ZnS in one unit cell and in other case we have considered glass-plasma and M_gF₂ in one unit cell. Using Kronig-Penney model the dispersion relation for proposed structures has been obtained and numerical results are presented in the form of dispersion curves. The dependence of photonic band gap (PBG) characteristics on plasma frequency, plasma width and the width of dielectric media are discussed in the light of frequency gap and cutoffs of binary one-dimensional plasma photonic crystal. An attempt has been made to show how the PBG characteristic of a particular structure changes when the dielectric materials of its unit cell is changed by the other dielectric material. It is found that the structure having glass-plasma-ZnS in unit cell is more useful for broad band filtering and other plasma functioning devices compared to the structure having glass-plasma-MgF₂ in one unit cell.     

Zero permittivity band characteristics in one-dimensional plasma dielectric photonic crystal

We consider the oblique propagation of electromagnetic waves in one-dimensional plasma dielectric photonic crystals, the superlattice structure consisting of alternating plasma and dielectric materials using transfer matrix method. Our results show that photonic band gaps for all polarizations can be obtained in one-dimensional plasma dielectric photonic crystals. These structures can exhibit a new type of band or gap, for the incidence angles other than normal incidence, near frequencies where the electric permittivity of the plasma layer changes sign. This new band or gap arises, from the dispersive properties of the plasma layer, only for TM polarized waves and its width increases with the increasing angle of incidence. This differential behaviour under polarization can be utilized in the design of an efficient polarization splitter. The band characteristic is affected by the plasma width, the plasma density, dielectric width, the dielectric constant of the dielectric medium and angle of incidence.     

Hydrogen doping of MgO thin films prepared by pulsed laser deposition

Hydrogen doped MgO films were grown by pulsed laser deposition method. Gaseous hydrogen stored in cavities of milky MgO single crystal targets provided doping in film deposition process. Clear MgO targets without hydrogen were used in the preparation of reference films. The influence of hydrogen doping on firing voltage (FV) of gas discharge and its AC frequency dependence was investigated. According to thermoluminescence experiments, the films grown from milky targets contained two kinds of electron traps with the activation energies of 0.051 and 0.31 eV, while latter traps were absent in reference samples. The 0.31 eV trap was assigned to the hydride ion H⁻ occupying an oxygen vacancy site in MgO crystal structure. Using standard gas mixture (Ne-10% Xe), FVs of hydrogen doped sample showed considerable frequency dependence and were up to 55 V lower in comparison to the reference sample. The FVs of reference sample were shifted 14-28 V to higher values when N₂ gas was added to the mixture. The N₂ addition lowered the FVs of hydrogen doped sample up to 38 V and almost eliminated the FV frequency dependence.

Study of carboxylic functionalization of polypropylene surface using the underwater plasma technique

Non-equilibrium solution plasma treatment of polymer surfaces in water offers the possibility of more dense and selective polymer surface functionalization in comparison to the well-known and frequently used low-pressure oxygen plasma. Functional groups are introduced when the polymer surface contacts the plasma moderated solution especially water solutions. The emission of ions, electrons, energy-rich neutrals and complexes, produced by the ion avalanche are limited by quenching, with the aid of the ambient water phase. The UV-radiation produced in plasma formation also helps to moderate the reaction solution further by producing additional excited, ionized/dissociated molecules. Thus, monotype functional groups equipped polymer surfaces, preferably OH groups, originating from the dissociated water molecules, could be produced more selectively. An interesting feature of the technique is its flexibility to use a wide variety of additives in the water phase. Another way to modify polymer surfaces is the deposition of plasma polymers carrying functional groups as carboxylic groups used in this work. Acetic acid, acrylic acid, maleic and itaconic acid were used as additive monomers. Acetic acid is not a chemically polymerizing monomer but it could polymerize by monomer/molecular fragmentation and recombination to a cross linked layer. The other monomers form preferably water-soluble polymers on a chemical way. Only the fragmented fraction of these monomers could form an insoluble coating by cross linking to substrate. The XPS analysis was used to track the alterations in –O-CO- bond percentage on the PP surface. To identify the -COOH groups on substrate surface unambiguously, which have survived the plasma polymerization process, the derivatization with trifluoroethanol was performed.     

Control of a turbulent flow separated at mid-chord along an airfoil with DBD plasma actuators

The goal of the present experimental study is to investigate the ability of surface DBD plasma actuators to delay flow separation along the suction side of a NACA0015 airfoil. Three single surface DBD actuators that can operate separately are mounted on the suction side of the profile, at 18%, 27% and 37% of the chord length. The boundary layer is transitioned by a tripper to be sure that the flow control is not due to the laminar-to-turbulent transition. The angle of attack is equal to 11.5° and the free-stream velocity to U₀ = 40 m/s, resulting in a chord-based Reynolds number of Re_c = 1.33 × 10⁶. The flow is studied with a high-resolution PIV system. In such conditions, the baseline flow separation occurs at 50% of chord. Then, the different single DBD have been switched on separately, in order to investigate the actuator location effect. One highlights that the DBD located at x_c/c = 18% is more effective than the two others ones, with a separation delay up to 64% of chord. When the three DBDs operate simultaneously, the separation point moves progressively toward the trailing edge when the high voltage is increased, up to 76% of chord at 20 kV. Finally, the effect of the actuation frequency on the control authority has been investigated, by varying the value of the operating frequency and by burst-modulation. For frequencies equal to 50 Hz and 500 Hz (reduced frequency F⁺ = 0.31 and 3.1), the separation has been delayed at 76 and 80% of chord, respectively.     

小波变换基线扣除对激光诱导等离子体温度计算的改善

温度是激光诱导等离子体特性研究最重要的参数之一,为降低光谱连续背景对Boltzmann平面法计算等离子体温度的精密度的影响,利用小波变换对等离子体光谱进行分解,并采用软阈值法对代表光谱基线的低频信号进行扣除。选择合适的小波分解层数L及阈值系数α能有效提高Boltzmann图的线性相关度,即有更高的拟合系数R2,从而提高等离子体温度的计算精密度。对低合金钢样品417～445 nm波段LIBS光谱采用db4小波函数进行分解、基线扣除和信号重构,选用12条Fe原子谱线建立Boltzmann图,由Boltzmann图拟合直线的斜率计算得到等离子体温度。对L和α系数进行了优化选择,研究发现,采用8层小波分解时Boltzmann图具有较高的R2,而α的选择与时延t_d有关,t_d≤4.0 μs时,α=0.3可获得最佳R2值,之后随t_d的增大,α逐渐减小; 在t_d≥6.5 μs后,α=0,即光谱低频信号被完全扣除,说明基线对光谱特征谱线的干扰随时延的增加逐渐减弱。基线扣除后各时延的等离子体温度降低约2 000～3 000 K,温度随时延的增加逐渐降低,与等离子体膨胀过程中温度逐渐下降的物理过程相吻合,且变化过程中的波动变小。
