控制柜断路器辅助工具的研制与应用

在油田生产中,抽油机、注水泵等生产设施的电路系统普遍采用空气开关、石板闸刀、刀开关、铁壳开关等装置,通过电路线路的分断与闭合控制设备的运行,以保障油田的正常生产。普通的断路器、石板闸刀、铁壳开关等在长时间应用操作下,经常会造成一下三种情况:一是电器设备启动,开关闭合时可能发生触头接触不良现象,电器设备缺相运行,导致设备停运甚至烧毁;二是电气设备运行过程中,开关因保险丝熔断不明显,导致设备缺相运行,进而导致设备停运甚至烧毁;三是电气设备停用,开关断开时因一相或两相触头粘连,分断不开,导致设备带电,职工在不知情的情况下操作设备,很大可能会造成人身伤害;如果断路器发生不良状况时,不仅会导致现场操作人员的人身伤亡,还会造成电机烧毁、用电设备停运、油水井停产的严重后果,给油田经济带来一定的损失。

Relationship between rheological manufacturing process and optical performance of optical fiber coupler

Through theoretical analysis and experiments, the viscoelastic mechanical model of optical fiber coupler in the process of fused biconical taper was established, and the numerical analysis in non-uniform temperature field was made. The results show that the rheological parameters, such as drawing speed and fused temperature, have a tremendous influence on stress distribution and performance of optical fiber coupler, especially the influence of fused temperature. The change of fused temperature by 5℃ can lead to the change of the maximum stress by 30% and stress difference by 20% in the same cross section. The change of temperature gradient by 3% can result in the change of stress difference by 90%. In the present condition of rheological technology, rheological defects such as crystallizations and microcracks are easy to generate in the optical fiber coupler.

Analysis on Mode Field Distribution of Waveguide Grating Coupler by the Scalar FDTD

The scalar two-dimensional finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is applied to simulate the mode field distribution of TE 0 of the waveguide grating coupler. Computer simulation shows that the same stable mode field distribution pattern is obtained through the different kinds of driving sources. It is found that the optical field mode is determined by waveguide structure and optical wavelength other than the driving source.According to the mode field distribution, the optimum coupling efficiency can be predicted. Compared with another numerical methods,the CPU-time and memory elements of computer used by FDTD are much less.

Fluctuations of Single-Mode Laser Driven by Two Different Kinds of Colored Noise

A single-mode laser with coupling between additive and multiplicative noise terms is investigated when the multiplicative noise and the coupling between two noise terms are colored fluctuations with finite correlation times T1 and T2. Combining the unified colored noise approximation （UCNA） and the functional analysis, the stationary probability distribution （SPD） and the variance of the laser intensity is derived. It is found that the colored nature of multiplicative noise and the coupling strength between two noise terms can affect both the structure and the height of the SPD, while the colored nature of the coupling between two noise terms can only affect the height of the SPD. The multiplicative noise can enhance the intensity fluctuations while the additive noise can reduce the fluctuations in a laser system. Numerical simulations are presented and consistent to the analytical results.

Effects of different poses and wind speeds on flow field of dish solar concentrator based on virtual wind tunnel experiment with constant wind

In order to improve structure performance of the dish solar concentrator,a three-dimensional model of dish solar concentrator was established based on the high-precision numerical algorithms.And a virtual wind tunnel experiment with constant wind is adopted to investigate the pressure distribution of the reflective surface,velocity distribution of the fluid domain for the dish solar concentrator in different poses and wind speeds distribution.Some results about wind pressure distribution before and after dish solar concentrator surface and wind load velocity distribution in the entire fluid domain had been obtained.In particular,it is necessary to point out that the stiffness at the center of the dish solar concentrator should be relatively raised.The results can provide a theoretical basis for the improvement of solar concentrator dish structure as well as the failure analysis of dish solar concentrator in engineering practice.

Novel manufacturing method of optical fiber coupler

Based on the coupling mode theory that the coupling ratio of fiber coupler changes periodically with center distance of two optical fibers, a novel manufacturing method of optical fiber couplers was developed with fused biconical taper experimental system. Its fabrication process is that the fiber is fused but not stretched when light begins to split, and the reduction of diameter of fiber is dependent on the theological characteristic of the fused fiberglass. The performance of the coupler was tested. The results show that the performance of the novel optical fiber coupler meets the performance expectations, and its diameter of coupling region （about 30 μm） is twice as long as that of classical fused biconical taper coupler （about 16 μm）, so the default, that is, the device is easy to fracture, is restrained and the reliability is greatly improved.

Modulation instability of dispersion-shifted fiber couplers

The nonlinear coupled-mode equations are rewritten by even and odd modes.We study modulation instability(MI) of dispersion-shifted fiber couplers when either even or odd mode is launched alone by using zero-dispersion wavelength relatively long(quasi-cw) pulses.The result shows that there are new types of MI in both the normal-dispersion and the anomalous-dispersion regimes.MI is concerned with forth-order dispersion and has no relation with third-order dispersion.Quasi-cw can be changed into pulses array under certain conditions.We can extract super short pulse from this.Furthermore,the bandwidth of gain spectra widens and its strength accretes as the input power increases.

Experimental study of the characteristics of novel microactuator based on optothermal expansion

A novel asymmetric optothermal microactuator was developed. A microactuator of 750μm length was machined by an excimer laser micmmachining system using single layer material. It had an asymmetric structure consisting of two thin expansion arms with different widths. A laser diode （660nm） was employed as the external power source to activate the microactuator. We introduced a charge coupled device （CCD）-combined optical microscope and a computer system to observe and capture the microactuator＇ s deflection and vibration. Experiments have been carried out to check the feasibility of deflection, and the data of deflection have been measured under different laser power as well as under different pulse frequency. The results show that the actuator can practically generate an obvious lateral deflection or vibration, the maximum could be larger than 20μm. Moreover, the deflection status of the microactuator could be controlled wirelessly or remotely by changing the laser power and its pulse frequency.

Synchronization of Chaotic Intensities and Phases in an Array of N Lasers

A linear array of N mutually coupled single-mode lasers is investigated. It is shown that the intensities of N lasers are chaotically synchronized when the coupling between lasers is relatively strong. The chaotic synchronization of intensities depends on the location of the lasers in the array. The chaotic synchronization appears between two outmost lasers, the second two outmost lasers, etc. There is no synchronization between nearest neighbors of the lasers. If the number of N is odd, the middle laser is never synchronized between any lasers. The chaotic synchronization of phases between nearest lasers in the array is examined by using the analytic signal and the Gaussian filter methods based on the peak of the power spectrum of the intensity. It can be seen that the message of chaotic intensity synchronization is conveyed through the phase synchronization.

Fabrication of Polymer Nonlinear Directional Coupler by Photo-bleaching

The preparation of a nonlinear directional coupler in polymer PMMA/DR1 film by photobleaching is studied. We find it easier to obtain a required coupling length by controlling photo bleaching time than by controlling the dimension of the coupler. The transmittance of each arm is measured when the pulse input light energy changes in our experiment. The experimental results show that the coupling length will change with the intensity of input light due to optical nonlinearities of the polymer PMMA/DR1 at 1 064 nm.
