Theory of noise in a kilo-Hz cascaded high-energy Yb-doped nanosecond pulsed fiber amplifier

A theoretical analysis of noise in a high-power cascaded fiber amplifier is presented. Unlike the noise theory in low power communication, the noise of a high power system is redefined as the leaked output energy between pulses with coherent beat noise uncounted. This definition is more appropriate for high power usage in which the pulse energy receives more attention than the pulse shape integrity. Then the low power pre-amplifying stages are considered as linear amplification and analyzed by linear theory. In the high-power amplification stages, the inversion is assumed to recover linearly in the time interval between pulses. The time shape of the output pulse is different from that of the input signal because of different gains at the front and back ends of the pulse. Then, a criterion is provided to distinguish the nonlinear and linear amplifications based on the signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） analysis. Then, an experiment that shows that the output SNR actually drops off in nonlinear amplification is performed. The change in the noise factor can be well evaluated by pulse shape distortion.     

Numerical simulation of electron cyclotron current drive characteristics on EAST

Electron cyclotron current drive （ECCD） will be applied in the EAST tokamak during its the new campaign. In order to provide theoretical predictions for relevant physical experiments, some numerical simulations of ECCD with the parameters of EAST have been can＇ied out by using TORAY-GA code based on the understanding of ECCD mechanisms. ECCD efficiencies achieved in different plasma and electron cyclotron （EC） wave parameters are given. The dependences of ECCD characteristics on EC wave injection angle, toroidal magnetic field, plasma density, and temperature are presented and discussed.     

Frequency/time domain modeling of a direct drive point absorber wave energy converter

Two different methods to model a point absorber wave energy converter(WEC)with direct drive linear power take-off(PTO)are proposed in the present study:the frequency domain(FD)method and the time domain(TD)method.In the FD analysis,the frequency response function(FRF)of the WEC device is obtained via the equation of motion,and the expressions of power capture width in regular and random waves are derived as well.In the TD modeling,based on a state space approximation of the convolution term in the motion equation,both regular wave and random wave simulations are carried out.The regular wave simulation results indicate that the state space approximation is sufficiently accurate and the capture width reaches the maximum in the vicinity of the natural frequency.In the random wave simulations,the effects of buoy size,the PTO damping and wave climate on the power capture width are discussed in detail,which leads to the conclusion that the capture widths are influenced by the natural frequency of the WEC device,peak frequency of the wave spectrum,the amplitude of FRF and PTO damping.Furthermore,the increase of the capture width is at the cost of a relatively large buoy size and PTO damping when control is not included.     

Application of wavelet-based active magnet power supply filter in accelerator

Since modern accelerators demand excellent stability to magnet power supply （PS）, it is necessary to decrease harmonic currents passing magnets. Aiming at depressing the rappel current from the PS in the Beijing electron-positron collider Ⅱ, a wavelet-based active power filter （APF） is proposed in this paper. An APF is an effective device to improve the quality of currents. As a countermeasure to these harmonic currents, the APF circuit generates a harmonic current, countervailing harmonic current from PS. An active power filter based on wavelet transformation is proposed. Discrete wavelet transformation is used to analyze the harmonic components in the supply current, and an active power filter circuit works according to the analysis results. Our simulation and experiment results are given to prove the effect of the APF.     

Fuel-optimal trajectory design using solar electric propulsion under power constraints and performance degradation

The fuel-optimal transfer trajectories using solar electric propulsion are designed considering the power constraints and solar array performance degradation.Three different performance degradation models including linear,positive and negative exponential degradations are used in the analysis of three typical rendezvous missions including Apophis,Venus and Ceres,respectively.The optimal control problem is formulated using the calculus of variations and Pontryagin’s maximum principle,which leads to a bang-bang control that is solved by indirect method combined with a homotopic technique.In demonstrating the effects of the power constraints and solar array performance degradation on the power budget and fuel consumption,the time histories of the power profile and the fuel consumptions are compared for the three missions.This study indicates that it is necessary to consider the power constraints and solar array performance degradation for the SEP-based low-thrust trajectory design,espacially for long-duration outbound flights.     

Enhancing the performance of poly(3-hexylthiophene)/ZnO nanorod arrays based hybrid solar cells through incorporation of a third component

Sparse ZnO nanorod arrays(NRAs)are fabricated on transparent conducting oxide coated glass substrates by using a modified liquid phase epitaxial growth method.By adjusting the polymer concentrations and the spin-coating parameters,full infiltration of poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT)into the as-prepared ZnO NRAs is achieved at 130°C in vacuum.A third component is incorporated into the P3HT/ZnO NRAs ordered bulk heterojunctions(BHJs)either through ZnO surface modification with N719dye or CdS shell layer or by inclusion of a fullerene derivative into the P3HT matrix.Experimental results indicate that performances of the hybrid solar cells are improved greatly with the incorporation of a third component.However,the working principles of these third components differ from one another,according to morphology,structure,optical property,charge transfer and interfacial properties of the composite structures.An ideal device architecture for hybrid solar cells based on P3HT/ZnO NRAs ordered BHJs is proposed,which can be used as a guidance to further increase the power conversion efficiency of such solar cells.     

The temperature-dependent electrical transport properties of liquid Sn using pseudopotential theory

We present the calculations of electrical resistivity, thermo-electric power and thermal conductivity based on the self-consistent approximation. The pseudopotential due to Hasegawa et al. [J. Non-Cryst. Solids 117/118, 300 (1990) M. Hasegawa, K. Hoshino, M. Watabe, and H. Young, J. Non-Cryst. Solids 117/118, 300 (1990).[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]] for full electron–ion interaction, which is valid for all electrons and contains the repulsive delta function to achieve the necessary s-pseudisation, was used in the calculation. Temperature dependence of structure factor is achieved through temperature-dependent potential parameter in the pair-potential. The outcome of the present study is discussed in the light of other such results and with predictions of Wiedemann and Franz law up to moderately high temperature. Specially, high-temperature resistivity data necessitates the careful investigation of electron energy dispersion close to the Fermi level and possible metal to non-metal transition while going from dense-fluid to low density-fluid state. In the absence of experimental data at high temperature, these findings may serve as future guideline.     

Construction of a photon drag detector for evaluating the performance of a CO2 laser amplifier

In this article, the construction of P-type germanium (Ge) photon drag detector which is used to characterize the gain and output powers of a 10 W CO₂ laser and a CO₂ laser amplifier is described. Gain and laser amplifier output power versus laser input power measurements collected at 4.7 mbar and 12.0 mbar amplifier tube pressures are discussed. Moreover, measurements relating the CO₂ laser output power to the laser tube discharge current are provided at 6.9 mbar and 7.3 mbar tube pressures.     

Assessing the relationship between the inter-rod coupling and the efficiency of piezocomposite high-intensity focused ultrasound transducers

The electroacoustic conversion efficiency of the ultrasonic transducer is a critical performance index for high-power applications. The material properties, volume fraction (VF) and aspect ratio (AR) are typically regarded as the design parameters of the piezocomposite transducer. We hypothesized that the spacing between piezoelectric rods was also a dominant factor. Therefore, the inter-rod coupling effects on the efficiency of 1–3 piezocomposite ultrasonic transducers were investigated in this study. The efficiencies of six flat and three curved 1.0 MHz PZT4 epoxy composite transducers with different geometric parameters were measured. Finite element transient analyses of the inter-rod electrical-mechanical coupling in the composites were carried out to explain the measured results. The experimental results showed that for 0.47 AR, the 79% VF transducers had lower efficiency than the 64% VF and 53% VF transducers. For 0.19 AR, the efficiency of the 59% VF transducer was not greater than the efficiency of the 39% VF transducer. Numerical analyses demonstrated that the positive peak voltage induced by the coupling of the side rods was more than twice the level induced by the coupling of the diagonal rods for any spacing. The diagonal coupling voltage peak did not change for spacings larger than 0.2 mm. Moreover, for spacings of 0.05 and 0.1 mm, the inter-rod coupling caused 24% and 20% waveform shifts of the driving voltage, respectively, while the 0.2 mm spacing coupling caused a 14% reduction in the amplitude of the driving voltage. As a result, the asymmetry of the driving voltage degraded the efficiency of the composite transducers and became more severe when the spacing was decreased. We concluded that the efficiency loss induced by inter-rod coupling as a function of spacing should be considered when designing piezocomposite transducers.
