K418与42CrMo异种金属的激光穿透焊接

实验研究了连续波Nd：YAG激光焊接速度、侧吹保护气流量和离焦量等参量对激光穿透焊接K418和42CrMo焊缝成形的影响。结果表明，K418与42CrMo激光穿透焊接有X形和T形两种典型的焊缝形貌，且焊缝形貌是不对称的。随着焊接速度的提高，焊接线能量降低，焊缝尺寸变小，且焊缝上部尺寸变化比下部尺寸变化慢，焊缝形貌由X形过渡到T形。当离焦量在瑞利长度范围内时，焊缝正面宽度变化很小；当离焦量超出瑞利长度范围时，在足够高的激光功率密度下，焊缝正面宽度快速增加。在激光功率为3kW，侧吹保护气角度为35°条件下，通过优化焊接速度、侧吹保护气流量和离焦量等参量可以得到最佳焊缝质量。

Influence of thermal residual stresses on the composite macroscopic behavior

The influence of the thermal residual stress on the deformation behavior of a composite has been analyzed with a new micromechanical method. The method is based on secant moduli approximation and a new homogenized effective stress to characterize the plastic state of the matrix. It is found that the generated thermal residual stresses after cooling and their influence on the subsequent deformation behavior depends significantly on the aspect ratio of the inclusions. With prolate inclusions, the presence of thermal residual stresses generate a higher compressive hardening curves of the composite, but it is reversed with oblate inclusions. For particle reinforced composite, thermal residual stresses induce a tensile hardening curve higher than the compressive one and this is in agreement with experimental observations.

Air Flow Land-Sea-Air Interface: Monterey Bay, California - 1971. Annual Report, Part 1, July 1972

Air flow at the land-sea-air interface influences to a large extent the atmospheric conditions that determine the transport, di lution, and trapping of natural and man-made air pollutants in the coastal areas of Monterey Bay and the Salinas Valley. Analysis of the hourly air flow on a daily and monthly basis indicates patterns of stagnation from midnight to noon of the fol lowing day with moderate to strong air flow during period 1300 to 2200. Throughout the year 1971 whenever flow is greater than 5 mph, the prevailing wind direction is onshore and from a westerly direction. Suggestions for urbanization and industrialization are made on the basis of an understanding of the atmospheric conditions which lead to trapping and dispersal of atmospheric waste.

同轴送粉激光成形中粉末与激光的相互作用

详细介绍了同轴送粉激光成形过程中,金属粉末与激光束相互作用时间的计算方法。在ANSYS软件平台上,建立了金属粉末穿越激光束过程中粉末温度场的计算模型。系统计算了不同颗粒大小316L不锈钢粉末与不同功率激光束相互作用后的温度。在此基础上,计算了金属粉末与激光束的能量交换及金属粉末落入激光熔池后与激光熔池的能量交换。计算结果表明,在激光束直径为3 mm条件下,316L不锈钢粉末穿过功率大于1000 W的激光束后,所有尺寸金属粉末均被熔化,即金属粉末以液态进入激光熔池。通过金属粉末与激光束及激光熔池的能量交换计算,可知在激光成形中,约有5%的激光能量用于加热和熔化粉末,而大约95%的激光能量用于激光熔池的形成及由于热传导造成的热量损失。

飞秒强激光作用下电子振荡导致的谐波辐射频谱的展宽和红移

采用单电子模型研究了圆偏振飞秒脉冲激光作用下电子振荡导致的谐波辐射频谱的特性。研究发现随着激光强度的增加，电子在激光场中运动的相对论效应可以导致谐波辐射，并且发现谐波辐射频谱随着激光强度的增加发生了展宽和红移。电子与强激光脉冲相互作用，电子除了在激光场的作用下做横向振荡运动之外，激光脉冲的纵向有质动力对电子还有推动作用，这是产生谐波频谱红移的原因，而谐波辐射频谱展宽是由电子纵向速度的变化引起的。分析激光场中电子在不同方向的辐射频谱表明：随着谐波阶数的升高，红移在有规律地变大；在θ=3π／4方向上电子频谱的

Ion acceleration with mixed solid targets interacting with circularly polarized lasers

The interaction of a circularly polarized laser pulse with a mixed solid target containing two species of ions is studied by particle in cell simulations and analytical model. After the interaction tends to be stable, it is demonstrated that the acceleration is more efficient for the heavier ions than that in plasmas containing a single kind of heavy ion and the acceleration efficiency is higher when its proportion is lower. To obtain monoenergetic heavy-ion beams, a sandwich target with a thin mixed ion layer between two light ion layers and a microstructured target are proposed. The influences of parameters of the laser pulse and target on ion acceleration are discussed in detail. It is found that, when the target is thick enough, a cold target is more appropriate for heavy-ion acceleration than a warm target, and the velocity of the reflected heavy ions is proportional to the laser amplitude.

Lightweight deformable mirrors for future space telescopes

This thesis presents a concept for ultra-lightweight deformable mirrors based on a thin substrate of optical surface quality coated with continuous active piezopolymer layers that provide modes of actuation and shape correction. This concept eliminates any kind of stiff backing structure for the mirror surface and exploits micro-fabrication technologies to provide a tight integration of the active materials into the mirror structure, to avoid actuator print-through effects. Proof-of-concept, 10-cm-diameter mirrors with a low areal density of about 0.5 kg/m² have been designed, built and tested to measure their shape-correction performance and verify the models used for design. The low cost manufacturing scheme uses replication techniques, and strives for minimizing residual stresses that deviate the optical figure from the master mandrel. It does not require precision tolerancing, is lightweight, and is therefore potentially scalable to larger diameters for use in large, modular space telescopes. Other potential applications for such a laminate could include ground-based mirrors for solar energy collection, adaptive optics for atmospheric turbulence, laser communications, and other shape control applications.

The immediate application for these mirrors is for the Autonomous Assembly and Reconfiguration of a Space Telescope (AAReST) mission, which is a university mission under development by Caltech, the University of Surrey, and JPL. The design concept, fabrication methodology, material behaviors and measurements, mirror modeling, mounting and control electronics design, shape control experiments, predictive performance analysis, and remaining challenges are presented herein. The experiments have validated numerical models of the mirror, and the mirror models have been used within a model of the telescope in order to predict the optical performance. A demonstration of this mirror concept, along with other new telescope technologies, is planned to take place during the AAReST mission.

A fundamental approach to phase noise reduction in hybrid Si/III-V lasers

Spontaneous emission into the lasing mode fundamentally limits laser linewidths. Reducing cavity losses provides two benefits to linewidth: (1) fewer excited carriers are needed to reach threshold, resulting in less phase-corrupting spontaneous emission into the laser mode, and (2) more photons are stored in the laser cavity, such that each individual spontaneous emission event disturbs the phase of the field less. Strong optical absorption in III-V materials causes high losses, preventing currently-available semiconductor lasers from achieving ultra-narrow linewidths. This absorption is a natural consequence of the compromise between efficient electrical and efficient optical performance in a semiconductor laser. Some of the III-V layers must be heavily doped in order to funnel excited carriers into the active region, which has the side effect of making the material strongly absorbing.

This thesis presents a new technique, called modal engineering, to remove modal energy from the lossy region and store it in an adjacent low-loss material, thereby reducing overall optical absorption. A quantum mechanical analysis of modal engineering shows that modal gain and spontaneous emission rate into the laser mode are both proportional to the normalized intensity of that mode at the active region. If optical absorption near the active region dominates the total losses of the laser cavity, shifting modal energy from the lossy region to the low-loss region will reduce modal gain, total loss, and the spontaneous emission rate into the mode by the same factor, so that linewidth decreases while the threshold inversion remains constant. The total spontaneous emission rate into all other modes is unchanged.

Modal engineering is demonstrated using the Si/III-V platform, in which light is generated in the III-V material and stored in the low-loss silicon material. The silicon is patterned as a high-Q resonator to minimize all sources of loss. Fabricated lasers employing modal engineering to concentrate light in silicon demonstrate linewidths at least 5 times smaller than lasers without modal engineering at the same pump level above threshold, while maintaining the same thresholds.
