2011, 35(2): 148-151. doi: 10.3969/j.issn.1001-3806.2011.02.002
Abstract:
Overhanging structure is an inherent geometric process limitation of selective laser melting(SLM),which would easily reduce the shape and dimension accuracy of built parts.To find the causes of defects in building overhanging surface, overhanging structure building experiments were carried out on 316L stainless steel at different inclined angle,scanning length and different speed.The results showed that at smaller inclined angle and the lower scanning speed,more serious warpage would happen,and the theoretical minimum building angle and reliable building angle fit with the experimental results at high and low scanning speed.High-speed scanning can build the overhanging surface with the minimum building angle,while low-speed scanning can only build the overhanging surface with a reliable building angle.Wrap of scanned overhanging surface would be more likely to happen along the long line direction.By control of local processing parameters,the quality of overhanging surface can be significantly improved.The basis for building overhanging surface by SLM was provided from the perspective of process and design,and the preliminary solution was proposed.

Abstract:
To deepen the understanding of laser welding of magnesium alloys,a high power CO2 laser was employed to join AZ31 magnesium alloy in 10mm thick.Its microstructure and tensile strength of laser welds were studied.Obvious concaves appeared on the welding surface because of serous burning-lost of magnesium at high temperature.Under the experimental conditions,the microstructure of the welding zone was equiaxed dendrites and the grains were refined with the decrease of the welding heat.The tensile test results showed surface concaves and porosities were two main factors affecting the tensile strength. The maximum tensile strength was only 74% of the substrate metal if the surface including concaves.However,it reached 91% of the substrate metal after surface concaves were eliminated by laser repair welding.Besides,the porosities were the main affecting factor inducing the tensile strength of laser repair weld is lower than that of the substrate metal.The results show it is necessary to eliminate the surface concaves and weld porosities in order to increase the mechanical property of laser welding joints.

Both the orthogonal polarization signals were separated in the base station,the optical carrier modulatedby wireless signal was detected by a photodiode and amplified,then transmitted by the antenna.On the other hand,the optical signal carrying wire signal was divided into two signals,one was injected to the balanced detector to achieve wire signal,and the other was used as optical carrier in uplink.After simulation with OPTICSYSTEM software,the eye diagrams of 10Gbit/s wire signal and 60GHz wireless signal were obtained after transmission 50km in optical fiber.The results show that this method is very effective in transmission.

Abstract:
In order to detect the helium density in thermosphere with a laser radar,after theoretical analysis and computer simulation,the atmospheric absorption coefficients for the three resonance lines making up metastable He 1083nm emission line were calculated,and the atmospheric absorption coefficient was found at the order of magnitude of 10-3.The results show that for the same spectral line,the atmospheric absorption coefficient is proportional to the concentrate of atoms and the fourth root of the temperature,however it is inversely proportional to the pressure.For different spectral lines,the atmospheric absorption coefficients are proportional to the central wave length.In the half width of the spectral line,the average atmospheric absorption coefficient is proportional to the atmospheric absorption coefficient at the line center.Finally,the application of atmospheric absorption coefficient in spectrum analysis was pointed out.This calculation has some reference significance to realize the detection of the helium density in thermosphere.

Abstract:
In order to study the effect of sampling point number on fitting precision when fitting wave front by Zernike polynomials,it was analyzed by means of the method of inadequate induction,and then the change law of sampling point number and fitting precision of dozens of different test functions was obtained.The results reveal that all test functions follow the same law that fitting precision has little change when sampling point number reach a certain number.In addition,the change law of sampling point number and Zernike polynomials term number was obtained by calculation.Thus,the experiential formula to determinate sampling point number are found,which is of great practical instructional significance in wave front fitting with Zernike polynomials.

Abstract:
In order to improve precision of rhomb-type achromatic A/4 phase retarders,based on the positive and negative delay error of A/4 phase retarders and larger refractive index,high precision retarders were designed.The retarder was analyzed and validated in experiments,and the data of high precision λ/4 phase retarder were obtained.It is shown at the retardation curve within the range of 350nm to 2000nm that retardation is 90°at two wavelengths and the maximal retardance error is smaller than 0.04°.Comparing with conventional retarders,the new retarder not only extends achromatic range,but also improves achromatic precision.The results are helpful to design high precision λ/4 phase retarders.

Abstract:
In order to discuss the propagation and amplification characteristics of ultrashort optical pulse in distributed fiber amplifiers and the influencing factors,its basic propagation equation was established.Taking an ytterbium-doped fiber amplifier as example,the evolution of optical pulse in the amplifier was simulated by means of split-step Fourier transform method.Then the effect of initial chirp and gain dispersion were discussed.The results show that when the optical pulse propagates in a distributed optical fiber amplifier,dispersion and nonlinear effect of the fiber will affect pulse profile and frequency spectrum, and initial chirp also influence the propagation state of optical pulse.For wide-spectrum optical pulse,gain dispersion is equivalent to a loss mechanism,so its influence should be considered.Relevant results have certain reference value to the system design and optimization of optical fiber amplifiers.

Abstract:
The results of numerical calculation of photon acceleration(photon frequency up shift)in the plasma wakefield driven by asymmetric laser pulses were presented.It is found that the maximum frequency up shift of the accelerated photons depends on the pulse shape and pulse width.There is an optimum pulse width and pulse rising width.There also exists an upper limit on plasma electron density to get the maximum photon frequency up shift.This will be helpful for further study about laser-plasma particle acceleration mechanism.
