LIAO Xiao-jun, YANG Ya-pei, DAI Ji-zhi
2007, 31(6): 568-570.
Abstract:
To obtain a narrow free-spectral range and controllable finesse,twin parallel channel waveguides are completely back coupled by a chirped Bragg grating,and cleaved facet mirrors are fabricated at the entrance of the coupling region.Thereby,the grating dispersion is introduced into the FabryPerot cavity,and the control of the cleaved facet mirrors on the finesse is maintained.The free-spectral range is determined not only by the cavity length,but also by the dispersion profile.A wide adjustment range of free-spectral range can be obtained by the adjustment of the grating profile.Numerical simulation and analyses show that the compression ratio of free-spectral range of the order of magnitude of 1000 can be obtained by this chirped Bragg grating F-P filter under the comparable device dimensions with conventional two-mirror F-P,and the free-spectral range will not be affected by the adjustment of finesse.

WEI Guo-qiang, YANG Yong-qiang, WEN Zeng-jing
2007, 31(6): 575-577.
Abstract:
The effect of the technology parameters(laser current,laser pulse time and N2 pressure) for fluxless laser jet bumping on the bump's peel strength under N2 protecting conditions were investigated;the interfacial microstructure and composition of the intermetallic compound at bump(Sn63Pb37)/pad(Au/Ni/Cu) were analyzed in term of scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometer.As the laser pulse time is constant,the peel strength decreases with increasing laser current;as the laser current is constant,the peel strength increases with increasing laser pulse time.In case of obtaining good bump's appearance,larger laser current along with shorter pulse time results in the decrease of bump's peel strength,smaller laser current along with longer pulse time increases bump's peel strength.Under existing test conditions,solder ball(Sn63Pb37) may wet the pad(Au/Ni/Cu) commendably.The continuous AuSn4 intermetallic compound layer is formed at the bump/pad interface and AuSn4 is detected in the solder pump near the interface.

2007, 31(6): 578-580.
Abstract:
In order to quantify the heat affected zone(HAZ) of femtosecond machining.Based on a two-dimensional model of the two temperature model(TTM),the radial heat affected zone of femtosecond laser ablation on nickel was simulated numerically with finite-difference method.The radial HAZ was defined as two parts,one was the melting and resolidification zone(between melting temperature and phase explosion temperature) and the other was thermal activation zone(between thermal activation temperature and melting temperature).The evolution of the temperature as a function of time was studied,leading to a radial HAZ width of 160nm for 500nm thick Ni samples,which showed that the heat affected zone of femtosecond machining is very small.Besides,the effects of the thermal conductivity and the specific heat of the electron on the radial HAZ were analyzed.

2007, 31(6): 581-583.
Abstract:
Because of the cloud barrier in a remote sensing image,the information couldn't be captured.Based on spline curve,a proposed method kept the continuity between inner and outer edge of cloud and captures more details in the remote sensing image without previous information.Firstly,the brightness in the cloud region was stretched.Secondly,the more details in the cloud region was exposed after the convolution between the cloud region and a high pass filter.Thirdly,the brightness of the pixels in the cloud region was improved with histogram stretching method.The results show the more details,such as the wall of dam,water stream can be exposed in a remote sensing image in which over a quarter of whole size was covered black cloud,which means the image enhancement technology is multiformity.

CHEN Bi-fang, LIU Tian-fu
2007, 31(6): 587-589,592.
Abstract:
A simple method which can measure the chirp of femtosecond laser pulses was described.Modified spectrum autointerferometric correlation(MOSAIC) uses spectral filtering of the interferometric autocorrelation(IAC) to render a waveform that is highly sensitive to chirp.The Gaussian intensity of femto-second chirped pulses was numerically calculated.The peak of the MOSAIC minima envelope as a function of the normalized mean chirp for different orders of chirp and MOSAIC peak number corresponding to the first-and second-order chirps were obtained.Low chirp of femto-second laser pulses can be determined accurately with the MOSAIC.

Abstract:
In order to analyze the intensity and position of the diffraction pattern from the liquid surface wave,a low-frequency signal generator was used to produce a sinusoidal output at low frequency,which was then used to drive the surface acoustic wave(SAW)exciter.A laser beam was directly incident upon the water surface where the SAW was excited and diffracted.Thus,a technique for low-frequency SAW visualization was developed based on the light diffration.The intensity curve was draun and the intensity and position of each-order diffraction spots were obtained.The asymmetrical position and intensity were also discovered.The dependence of the diffraction intensity on the liquid surface waves was theoretically derived.The approximate conditions of the surface wave diffraction and the half angular width were analyzed,respectively.When laser was at normal incidence,the symmetrical distribution was theoretically derived.The theoretical and experimental results are in good agreement.

ZHOU Yun-yan, YANG Kun-tao
2007, 31(6): 603-606.
Abstract:
New binary joint transform correlator(BJTC) based on differential operation was proposed.It can well resolve the disadvantages about the bottleneck of real-time processing and thresholding selection in BJTC.The unwanted term in joint power spectrum(JPS) varies slowly compared with wanted term.It is reasonable to use differential operation to improve JTC's contrast by depressing the auto-correlate peak and enhancing the cross-correlate peak.Then the differential JPS was binarized to only two values at Fourier plane before inverse Fourier transform.Then higher cross-correlate output between references and object image can be obtained.Simulation results show the proposed JTC can well weakens auto-correlation peak and enhances cross-correlation peak.It also has better robustness.The proposed method can avoid computing or pre-setup threshold.Furthermore,it's quite simple differential operation and binarization require far fewer digital computations than does the BJTC.

2007, 31(6): 639-641,645.
Abstract:
Laser punching technique is a new idea about hole-forming of sheet metal which is based on the effects of shock waves induced by laser and the high speed punching process.The theoretical minimum movement velocity for the sheet to be punched by laser shock waves was deduced.Also,the mechanism and the punching properties was analyzed on the basis of laser shock forming technology.To test the feasibility of laser punching,a corresponding experiment was designed.In the experiment,a neodymium glass high-power laser was adopted to irradiate the black coating painted on the surface of the 0.4mm thick aluminum sheet through the overlay-K9 glass,and the coating was gasified immediately into high-pressure plasma to generate a hole in the sample.The experimental results show there is no obvious distortion around the hole;the edge of hole is smooth;and the size of hole is dependent on the concave die.So,the laser punching technique can be used as an effective method for hole-forming.

2007, 31(6): 642-645.
Abstract:
In order to analyze image singularity and the features of the different sections,a new multifractal algorithm based on sub-pixel edge measure is proposed.The greylevel gradient area density function and edge-measure of random subsets(radii can reach the precision of sub-pixel) were obtained by the square aperture sampling law on the position of sub-pixel.Utilized the multifractal frame,the image could be segmented into a series of fractal sets of the different singularity exponents.At the same time,the reconstruction algorithm was presented by using the different information content of multifractal subset.So the image could be divided from texture to edge precisely.At last,the algorithm was analyzed and examined.The data showed that the reconstruction PSNR was 14.76dB from the edge extracted by 3×3 sub-pixels method.The results show that the peak signal-to-noise ratio of the reconstruction image depends on the extracted image edge quality and the coefficient ratio of the reconstruction and the information of the different layers of the image are identical with the important information from the human visual reception.

HU Chun-xiang, TAO Xiang-yang, YE Zhi-qing, RAO Feng
2007, 31(6): 646-648.
Abstract:
The whole ablation process of target ZnO heated by pulsed laser was studied.The ablating model of a bulk target irradiated by a pulse laser was set up.Under the appropriate dynamic boundary conditions,the heat flow equation with heat generation term,and the temperature distribution of target before and after the melting were studied in detail.The results showed that before the melting,at a fixed location,the temperature increased with the ablation time.The less the heat diffusion distance was,the faster the variety rate of the temperature was.At the same time,in different location,the temperature decreased gradually along with the increase of the heat diffusion distance.Using the combination of analytical method and integral-approximation method,and solving the heat flow equation,the temperature distribution of solid and liquid phases's functions of time and location were obtained.The temperature grad of liquid phases decreased with the increase of the heat diffusion distance.Within 0.5 micron distance from the ablation surface,the temperature grad of liquid phases was great;beyond 0.5 micron,the variety rate of the temperature became very slow;while the temperature distribution of solid phases was more complex.

Abstract:
In order to study the propagation of partially coherent modified Bessel-Gaussian beams passing through a paraxial ABCD optical system with hard-edge aperture,the approximate analytical propagation equation was derived with the hard-edged aperture function expanded into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions.As an application example,numerical calculation was performed for partially coherent modified Bessel-Gaussian beams propagating in free space with hard-edge aperture,and the computation errors and application ranges of those analytical equations were discussed.The results show that the method provides the advantage of reduction of computing time and analyzing the propagation property of partially coherent modified Bessel-Gaussian beams through the circular aperture optical systems.The influence of Fressnel number and the truncation parameter on the intensity distributions was also analyzed.
Effect of laser shock forming on surface roughness of targets
GU Yong-yu, ZHANG Xing-quan, SHI Jian-Guo, ZHANG Yong-kang
2007, 31(6): 653-655.
Abstract:
In order to study the effects of laser shock forming on the surface roughness,metal sheet of aluminum and 304 stainless steel of 0.5mm thickness are used as samples of laser shock forming,and laser beams with radius of 0.4mm,wavelength of 1054nm and pulse width of 23ns was applied in laser shock forming,while the energy for aluminum sheet was 15.4J and for 304 stainless steel was 18.92J.The measurement results after laser shock forming show that laser shock forming may improve the surface roughness to two roughness rank.There are two reasons for surface roughness improvement.On the one hand,it will generate a series of trasmission wasves and reflection waves when the stress wave spreads in tiny peak of sheet surface,and the tiny peak would rupture if the strength of reflection tensile wave is beyond the tensile strength of targets.On the other hand,a high pressure zone is formed in the air because of high speed motion of sheet,and plastic deformation of tiny peak would take place if the pressure of air acted on the back of sheet is greater than the dynamic bend intensity.So the altitude of tiny peak is decreased by the rupture and plastic deformation of tiny peak and it results in improvement of the surface roughness.

ZHANG Yu-zhu, WANG Guang-an, SHEN Zhong-hua, NI Xiao-wu, LU Jian
2007, 31(6): 659-662.
Abstract:
The dependence of the mechanics effect to the target induced by laser on laser intensity was reported.The experiments were performed by focusing output pulses of the Nd:YAG laser(10ns pulse width at 1.06 μm wavelength and 42mJ~320mJ pulse energy) on aluminum targets mounted on a ballistic pendulum.The data showed that there were different optimum intensities which gave a maximum Cm at different extant of depart from the focus(χ).And the impulse coupling coefficients(Cm) was determined by similar functions of intensity in the different χ.The Cm increases slowly with the increasing of laser intensity and decreases after it gets maximum quantity.According to the absorption of the plasma and the different laser-target interaction mechanisms at the different χ,the results show that there is the maximum Cm because of the plasma shielding effect;the optimum intensity is largest at the focus because of the effect caused by the rare faction wave and the maximum Cm at χ0 is smaller than the others due to the energy consuming of the air breakdown at the focus.

2007, 31(6): 668-670.
Abstract:
In order to make the Wollaston prisms get better transmitting performance,the influence of the refractive index of optical cement used in Wollaston prisms on the splitting ratio and the transmission was analyzed in this paper.The relationship formula about the refractive index of optical cement and the splitting ratio and the transmission was worked out,and besides,the relationship curves were fitted by computer.The result indicates that the refractive index of optical cement used in Wollaston prisms can influence both the splitting ratio and the transmission;and especially when the value of the splitting ratio is 1 and the value of total transmission reaches the maximum,the value of refractive index of optical cement is the same.If the wavelength of the light is 633nm,the value of the index is 1.570.The result is very helpful for optimizing the transmitting performance of Wollaston prisms.
