The first problem was to find the irradiation damage mechanism of the nonlinear materials. In this paper the irradiation electronic field originating from high speed charged particle beams was discussed. The calculating model of the electronic field, based on the relativistic mechanics and electro-magnetic theory, was founded. The common characters of the irradiation electronic field were predicted and the fields of α ray and β ray were calculated by means of our model. The simulating results showed that the intensity of the electric field increased with the energy or the intensity of the beam. The results also showed that the field change trend of α ray and β ray was similar, but the field value was quite different. When the beam intensity I = 100 μA and the beam energy εm = 500 Mev, the electronic field values were about 3.5 × 107 v/m for α ray and 2.4 × 1011 v/m for β ray.展开更多

The unit difference method is adopted to deduce the phase transition model for water flow irradiated by a high-energy laser. In addition, the model is simulated and verified through experiments. Among them, the experimental verification uses the photographic method, shooting the distribution and the form of the air mass of water flow in different operating conditions, which are compared with the simulation results. The research shows that it is achievable to reduce the intensity of the phase transition by increasing the water flow, reducing the power intensity of the beam, shortening the distance the beam covers, reducing the initial water temperature or adopting a shorter wavelength laser. The study's results will provide the reference for the design of a water-direct-absorption-type high-energy laser energy meter as well as an analysis of the interaction processes of other similar high-power lasers and water flow.展开更多

By introducing the intracavity birefringence-induced spectral filtering effect, the dual-wavelength lasing operation can be achieved. In order to enhance the cross coupling effect between the two lasing beams for domain wall pulse formation, a 215-m HNLF is incorporated into the laser cavity.

The growth processes are in-situ monitored by reflection high energy electron diffraction. It is revealed that the growth mode of GaN transformed from three-dimensional (3D) island mode to two-dimensional (2D) layer-by-layer mode with the increase of thickness. This paper investigates the interfacial strain relaxation of GaN films by analysing their diffraction patterns. Calculation shows that the strain is completely relaxed when the thickness reaches 15 nm. The surface morphology evolution indicates that island merging and reduction of the island-edge barrier provide an effective way to make GaN films follow a 2D layer-by-layer growth mode. The ll0-nm GaN films with a 2D growth mode have smooth regular hexagonal shapes. The X-ray diffraction indicates that thickness has a significant effect on the crystallized quality of GaN thin films.展开更多

The upgrading of system guarantees the smooth and effective measuring of beam energy at BEPC-II and accommodates the accurate offline energy values for further physics analysis at BES-III.展开更多

文摘Heteroepitaxial GaN films are grown on sapphire (0001) substrates using laser molecular beam epitaxy. The growth processes are in-situ monitored by reflection high energy electron diffraction. It is revealed that the growth mode of GaN transformed from three-dimensional (3D) island mode to two-dimensional (2D) layer-by-layer mode with the increase of thickness. This paper investigates the interfacial strain relaxation of GaN films by analysing their diffraction patterns. Calculation shows that the strain is completely relaxed when the thickness reaches 15 nm. The surface morphology evolution indicates that island merging and reduction of the island-edge barrier provide an effective way to make GaN films follow a 2D layer-by-layer growth mode. The ll0-nm GaN films with a 2D growth mode have smooth regular hexagonal shapes. The X-ray diffraction indicates that thickness has a significant effect on the crystallized quality of GaN thin films.

文摘The semiconductor laser array with single-mode emission is presented in this paper.The 6-μm-wide ridge waveguides(RWGs)are fabricated to select the lateral mode.Thus the fundamental mode of laser array can be obtained by the RWGs.And the maximum output power of single-mode emission can reach 36 W at an injection current of 43 A,after that,a kink will appear.The slow axis(SA)far-field divergence angle of the unit is 13.65.The beam quality factor M;of the units determined by the second-order moment(SOM)method,is 1.2.This single-mode emission laser array can be used for laser processing.
文摘A special method is proposed of a laser-induced cavity pressure acceleration scheme for collimating,accelerating and guiding protons,using a single-cone target with a beam collimator through a target normal sheath acceleration mechanism.In addition,the problems involved are studied by using two-dimensional particle-in-cell simulations.The results show that the proton beam can be collimated,accelerated and guided effectively through this type of target.Theoretically,a formula is derived for the combined electric field of accelerating protons.Compared with a proton beam without a beam collimator,the proton beam density and cut-off energy of protons in the type II are increased by 3.3 times and 10%respectively.Detailed analysis shows that the enhancement is mainly due to the compact and strong sheath electrostatic field,and that the beam collimator plays a role in focusing energy.In addition,the simulation results show that the divergence angle of the proton beam in type II is less than 1.67 times that of type I.The more prominent point is that the proton number of type II is 2.2 times higher than that of type I.This kind of target has important applications in many fields,such as fast ion ignition in inertial fusion,high energy physics and proton therapy.
文摘The beam energy measurement system is significant and profit for both BES-III detector and BEPC-II accelerator. The detection of the high energy scattering photons is realized by virtue of the Compton backscattering principle. Many advanced techniques and precise instruments are employed to acquire the highly accurate measurement of positron/electron beam energy. During five years’ running period, in order to satisfy the requirement of data taking and enhance the capacity of measurement itself, the upgradation of system is continued, which involves the components reformation of laser and optics subsystem, replacement of view-port of the laser to vacuum insertion subsystem, the usage of electric cooling system for high purity germanium detector, and the refinement of data acquisition and processing subsystem. The upgrading of system guarantees the smooth and effective measuring of beam energy at BEPC-II and accommodates the accurate offline energy values for further physics analysis at BES-III.

文摘A magnetized cylindrical target composed of a gold tube filled with deuterium-tritium fuel plasma at low density is studied numerically in the present paper.A shock wave is produced when a heavy ion beam heats the gold along the direction of the magnetic field.The density peak of the shock wave increases with the increase in time and it propagates in the-r direction in the cylindrical tube.It seems that this wave is the supermagnetosonic wave.It is found that the Mach number M is between 6.96 and 19.19.The density peak of the shock wave increases as the intensity of the heavy ion beam increases.Furthermore,the density peak of the shock wave increases as the external magnetic field increases.

文摘Contactless measurement of wind flow has been utilized in many fields, such as weather forecasting, hurricane tracking, and aeronautic alarm. In this paper, a novel multi-laser beams measuring system (MLBM) for high precision detection of wind field based on optical scintillations and small perturbation theory was proposed and verified. According to the fluctuation intensity of laser backscatter received by two detectors, peak delay technique was adopted to determine the velocity of wind flow. Detailed procedure to deal with backscatter signals was also presented. Then, practical experiments and measurement results showed high precision of the proposed system for wind measurement with a relative error as 3.21%. Consequently, the MLBM system possesses obvious potential application in engineering project.
