Experimental study on flow characters of CH3CCl2F hydrate slurry

The flow behaviors of CH3CCl2F hydrate slurry with volume concentration of 10-70% were studied in a new built flow loop with a diameter of 42.0 mm and length of 30.0 m. Morphologies of the fluids from slurrylike hydrates to slushlike hydrates with increasing of hydrate volume concentration in pipeline were observed. Pressure drops in pipeline also were studied and an exceptional pressure transition zone with hydrate volume concentration between 30% and 40% was found for the first time, which can be used as a notation to judge if the pipeline runs safely or not. Fanning friction factors of the hydrate slurries with all hydrate contents tend to constants between 0.38 and 0.5, which depend on the volume concentration in slurries, when the velocity reaches 1.5 m/s. A simple relation to estimate the pressure drop of hydrate slurry in pipeline was presented and verified. Experimental results were compared to the estimated results, which showed a good agreement. 

An experimental study of ultrashort pulsed ytterbium-doped fibre laser and amplifier

We report the generation of ultrashort pulses in ytterbium-doped fibre oscillator emitting around 1.05 mum at a repetition rate of 17.6MHz. A diode laser with single silica fibre at 976 nm pumps the ytterbium fibre laser, the all-fibre picosecond pulsed oscillator has excellent stability and compact size, and freedom from misalignment. After amplifying, pulse energy of 3.4 nJ and an average power of 60mW are obtained. The compression is obtained with a grating pair out of the cavity. The compressor produces 307 fs with the peak power 5.47 kW. A practical fibre-based source with good performance is thus demonstrated.

Experimental study on K alpha X-ray emission from intense femtosecond laser-solid interactions

The characteristics of K alpha X-ray sources generated by p-polarized femtosecond laser-solid interactions are experimentally studied in the relativistic regime. By use of knife-edge image technique and a single-photon-counting X-ray CCD camera, we obtaine the source size, the spectrum and the conversion efficiency of the Ka X-ray sources. The experimental results show that the conversion efficiency of Ka photons reaches an optimum value of 7.08 x 10(-6)/sr at the laser intensity of 1.6 x 10(18) W/cm(2), which is different from the Reich's simulation results (Reich et al., 2000 Phys. Rev. Lett. 84 4846). We find that about 10% of laser energy is converted into the forward hot electrons at the laser intensity of 1.6 x 10(18) W/cm(2).

Experimental study on polarization holographic storage in genetic mutant BR-D96N film

Recording with both parallel and orthogonal linearly polarized lights, polarization holographic storage in genetic mutant BR-D96N film is reported with both transmission type geometry and reflection type geometry. Polarization properties of diffraction light and scattering light are discussed for two different cases, parallel polarization recording and orthogonal polarization recording. It shows that, compared with recording with parallel polarization lights, orthogonal polarization holography can separate the diffraction light from the scattering noise, therefore improving the signal-to-noise ratio. It also shows that, compared with reconstruction with reference light, reconstruction with phase conjugated wave of the reference light can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the reconstructed diffraction image, and also the wave-front aberration of the object light introduced by irregular phase object in the optical pass-way can also be corrected effectively, which ensures that the reconstructed diffraction image has a better fidelity. The preliminary angle-multiplexed volume holographic storage multiplexed by transmission type geometry and reflection type geometry is demonstrated in the BR-D96N film. Experiment shows that there is no cross-talk between the two pages of images except for some scattering noises.

Experimental study of mode characteristics for equilateral triangle semiconductor microcavities

Equilateral triangle semiconductor microcavities with tensile-strained InGaAsP multi-quantum-well asthe active region are fabricated by the inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching technique. The modecharacteristics of the fabricated microcavities are investigated by photoluminescence, and enhanced peaksof the photoluminescence spectra corresponding to the fundamental transverse modes are observed formicrocavities with side lengths of 5 and 10 μm. The mode wavelength spacings measured experimentallycoincide very well with those obtained by the theoretical formulae.

In this paper, an experiment on tunable resonant cavity enhanced (RCE) photodetector with external cavity is reported. It is the first time to realize a tunable RCE photodetector in China. A tuning range about 10 nm has been obtained and further extension is expected. Corresponding theoretical analysis and discussions are presented. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

Experimental Study on the Subthreshold Swing of Silicon Nanowire Transistors

SOI based wrap-gate silicon nanowire FETs are fabricated through electron beam lithography and wet etching. Dry thermal oxidation is used to further reduce the patterned fins cross section and transfer them into nanowires. Silicon nanowire FETs with different nanowire widths varying from 60 nm to 200 nm are fabricated and the number of the nanowires contained in a channel is also varied. The on-current (I-ON) and off-current (I-OFF) of the fabricated silicon nanowire FET are 0.59 mu A and 0.19 nA respectively. The subthreshold swing (SS) and the drain induced barrier lowering are 580 mV/dec and 149 mVN respectively due to the 30 nm thick gate oxide and 1015 cm(-3) lightly doped silicon nanowire channel. The nanowire width dependence of SS is shown and attributed to the fact that the side-gate parts of a wrap gate play a more effectual role as the nanowires in a channel get narrower. It seems the nanowire number in a channel has no effect on SS because the side-gate parts fill in the space between two adjacent nanowires.

THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF POLARIZATION CHARACTERISTICS OF POLARIZATION MAINTAINING FIBER BASED ON WAVELENGTH-SWEEPING MODULATION

We analyze theoretically the polarization characteristics of polarization maintaining fiber and study the basic measurement principles of beat length and polarization extinction ratio of this kind of optical fiber. According, to the dependence of the phase difference between two orthogonally polarized modes (denoted Os HE(11)(x) and HE(11)(y)) transmitted in the polarization maintaining fiber on the light wavelength, we propose the wavelength-sweeping modulation method to measure the beat length and the model birefringence. Based on this technique, the hew length and polarization extinction ratio of the PANDA polarization maintaining fibers (PMFs) (provided by Yangtze Optical Fiber and Cable Company, Wuhan, China) were investigated in detail. Experimental results show good consistent with the theoretical ones. We find that this method shows high measurement precision with the advantages of clear measurement principle and easy to operate. 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Experimental study on energy dissipation in a 1 kW arcjet thruster

As a simple and reliable propulsion system, arcjet thrusters have been used in multiple satellite missions. In order to improve the efficiency of arcjet thrusters, energy dissipation study was carried out in a 1 kW arcjet thruster with pure N2, H2-N2 and H2 as the propellant. Using a 698 nm interference filter, thermal radiation was isolated from arc and plume emissions and the internal nozzle temperature was obtained by converting the thermal radiation signals. Results show that the addition of hydrogen leads to higher nozzle temperature, which is the determining factor for the mode of arc root attachment. At lower nozzle temperatures, constricted type attachment with unstable motions of the arc root was observed, while a fully diffused and stable arc root was observed at elevated nozzle temperatures. Output energy distribution analysis shows that losses from frozen flow and exhaust thermal losses are the main parts in limiting the efficiency of arcjet thrusters.
