Abstract:
A 3-D shape measurement method using max-difference color-coding structured light is suggested to avoid complicated phase-recover process in three-dimension sensing.A pattern of exclusive color sequence is obtained and a relationship between spatial location and color is established.The difference of neighboring colors is maximized so that they can be distinguished easily.Projecting the color-combination fringe to the object and reference plane respectively,two images are taken.The height of the object can be recovered by edge detection and triangulation.This method has been implemented and proved to be fast,precise and noise-immune.

2006, 30(4): 344-346,359.
Abstract:
In order to investigate the weldability of a new ultra-low carbon bainitic(NULCB) steel,the steel is welded with a 3kW CO2 laser and the microstructure and mechanical properties of the weld joint are investigated.The experimental results indicate that the hardness of welded joint is higher than that of the base metal while the laser heat input is between 120J/mm and 600J/mm,and no obvious zone is softened after laser welding.The microstructure of the weld metal and the coarse-grained heat-affected zone are both granular bainite that consists of the bainite lath and the M-A constituent.When the heat input increases from 120J/mm to 600J/mm,the average width,gross and shape parameter of M-A increases,but the line density decreases.As the heat input of laser welding increases,the impact energy of the weld metal increases at first and then decreases,and it is higher than that of the base metal under appropriate laser welding conditions.

YI Heng-yu
2006, 30(4): 347-350.
Abstract:
In order to study influence of experimental parameters on photo-thermal interferometric detection,according to interference principle of equal thickness,a theory model is set up by means of Seidel aberration of tilt.After various probe beams are investigated,a universal light model is proposed by means of random function,and uniformity of the light source is defined.Based on this model,it is simulated that interferometric experimental phenomena change with various probe beam,and the influence of probe's uniformity is analyzed on interferometric measurement,which show there are no difference among various probe beam.On the other hand,the influence of detector's aperture on interferometric measurement is analyzed.Results show it is the best when radius of detector's aperture is 0.315cm.Under this condition,photo-thermal signal descends monotonously during fine scale photo-thermal displacement of 0~0.6λ,and the contrast of interferometric stripe is better.Under weak absorption,a simple experiential equation between photo-thermal signal and photo-thermal displacement can be concluded by curve fitting.

2006, 30(4): 366-369.
Abstract:
In order to achieve much higher output power to satisfy the application requirements,the performances of erbium/ytterbium co-doped double-cladding fiber lasers(EY-DCFLs) are studied experimentally and theoretically.By using the EY805 model erbium/ytterbium co-doped multi-mode double-cladding fiber manufactured by INO,Canada as the gain medium,it is described that the output power is a function of the input pump power and fiber length.The maximum output power is about 3.5W by using a 1.8m fiber,with an optical to optical conversion efficiency of 31.8%.Numerical analysis of this EY-DCFL is also performed based on the rate and propagation equations.The calculated output powers of about 4.4W and conversion efficiency of 40% for the same fiber are a little larger than the experimental results.Then further optimization measures of the EY-DCFL are discussed,such as preparing of the fiber-end well,adding dichroic mirror at the output end and making fiber Bragg gratings directly in the fiber core.The above results are very important for the utilization and performance improvement of EY-DCFL.

LIU Li, LI Zheng-jia
2006, 30(4): 373-376.
Abstract:
The major concern during laser irradiation of teeth is the high potential of tissue overheating resulting high temperatures that can spread in toward the dentin,causing irreversible damage to cells presented in the pulp chamber and leading to cell death,so the related laser irradiation parameters should be controlled strictly.The thermal diffusion model in dentin is built and the distribution of temperature field at the surface and subsurface region of dentin irradiated by Nd:YAG laser with different parameters is simulated numerically using Crank-Nicolson finite differential method.Calculation results show that the final temperature at the surface of dentin and at the pulp chamber wall depends on the pulse duration,interval and numbers.Laser irradiation by dividing total energy into several laser pulses leads to lower temperature at the dentin surface,while the reverse situation occurs at pulp region,the higher temperature is achieved with increasing pulse numbers.The related opto-thermal mechanism is discussed and it is put forward that controlling the energy of the single laser pulse is the optimum measure for opto-thermal ablation of dentin.

2006, 30(4): 385-389.
Abstract:
In order to investigate the generation mechanism of the cracks on the surface of proton-exchanged(PE) wave-guides on the x-cut lithium niobate substrate and the influence on the characteristics of wave-guide.The crystal microstructure,the intensity of the cracks on the surface,the existing manner of hydrogen ion and the variation of density of the annealing proton-exchanged(APE) wave-guide are studied by means of contrast experiments,observation on the surface of wave-guide,XRD(X-ray diffraction) analysis of the crystal phase in the wave-guide,infrared absorption spectra analysis of wave-guide,and so on.The results show that the cracks are made by the stress parallel with the principal cleavage plane of lithium niobate,which have four characteristics:made in the PE process,parallel with each others,deteriorated in proportion to the time of PE process and being ameliorated somewhat in the annealing process.It is also shown that the cracks are the macroscopical representation of the stress and that the annealing process could influence the existing manner of hydrogen ion and its density variation,alter the crystal phases and the stress in the wave-guide,and improve the performance of the wave-guide.It is concluded that multiple-phase coexistence and the difference of the crystal lattice coefficient resulted in the stress and then lead to the crackand that the smallest distortion in crystal lattice,the lowest stress and the α phase wave-guide may have the lowest possibility to bring out crack,and can improve the performance of the wave-guide.

2006, 30(4): 442-444.
Abstract:
For the positive real function image encoded by double random-phase,the first random-phase mask placed in the blank can not serve as the key when the decrypted image is detected by intensity detector in the decrypting process.In connection with the defects,an improved encryption system illuminated with spherical wave is proposed.The input image is not nestled closely to the first random-phase mask,so the first random-phase mask can be used as the key for positive function image and the position of the first random-phase mask provides an additional key.Computer simulation indicates the feasibility of the proposed technique.

2006, 30(4): 445-448.
Abstract:
In order to obtain the nanosecond optical pulse with high power and high repetition frequency,a LD's driver which can produce pulse with nanosecond rise time is designed.The generator is based on the avalanche transistors in a Marx bank circuit.The selection of the avalanche transistors is also described in detail.This driver uses a transistor which has a low avalanche voltage to sharp the trigger pulse,and then use the pulse which is obtained from this transistor to trigger the Marx bank circuit.A large current narrow-pulse for driving the LD can be obtained.This driver can produce a large-amplitude nanosecond pulse and its peak current is up to 12.5A with pulse width of 1.51ns,pulse repetition frequency of 100kHz.It is consequenced that sharping the trigger pulse can reduce the avalanche voltage of the Marx bank circuit and narrow the width of the output pulse.It is more suitable for driving the LD.
