We examine the effects of the transverse ponderomotive force, specifically how the deviation angle and speed of electron motion are affected by the initial off-axis position of the electron and the peak amplitude of the laser pulse. When the laser pulse intensity is low, an increase in the electron's initial off-axis distance results in reduced spatial radiation power, improved collimation, super-continuum phenomena generation, red-shifting of the spectrum's harmonic peak, and significant symmetry in the radiation radial direction. However, in contradiction to conventional understandings,when the laser pulse intensity is relatively high, the properties of the relativistic nonlinear Thomson inverse scattering of the electron deviate from the central axis, changing direction in opposition to the aforementioned effects. After reaching a peak, these properties then shift again, aligning with the previous direction. The complex interplay of these effects suggests a greater nuance and intricacy in the relationship between laser pulse intensity, electron position, and scattering properties than previously thought.展开更多

文摘The current study investigates the hydrodynamic characteristics of gap resonance within a narrow gap formed by two adjacent boxes subjected to incident focused transient wave groups.A two-dimensional(2D)numerical wave tank based on the OpenFOAM package is utilized for this purpose.The weather-side box is fixed while the lee-side box is allowed to heave freely under wave actions.The effects of the focused wave amplitude and spectral peak period on the wave amplification within the gap,motion of the lee-side box,and wave forces(including horizontal and vertical wave forces)acting on each box are systematically examined.For comparison,another structural layout consisting of two fixed boxes is also considered.The results reveal that the release of the heave degree of freedom(DoF)of the lee-side box results in remarkably distinct resonance features.In the heave-box system,both its fluid resonant period and the period corresponding to the maximum heave displacement of the lee-side box are significantly larger(i.e.,1.6-1.7 times)than the fluid resonant period of the fixed-box system.However,the wave amplification factor inside the gap in the heave-box system is significantly lower than that in the fixed-box one.Both the variations of the maximum horizontal and vertical wave forces with the spectral peak period and their magnitudes are also significantly different between the two structural systems.

文摘To improve the processing efficiency and extend the tuning range of 3D isotropic fabrication,we apply the simultaneous spatiotemporal focusing(SSTF)technique to a high-repetition-rate femtosecond(fs)fiber laser system.In the SSTF scheme,we propose a pulse compensation scheme for the fiber laser with a narrow spectral bandwidth by building an extra-cavity pulse stretcher.We further demonstrate truly 3D isotropic microfabrication in photosensitive glass with a tunable resolution ranging from 8μm to 22μm using the SSTF of fs laser pulses.Moreover,we systematically investigate the influences of pulse energy,writing speed,processing depth,and spherical aberration on the fabrication resolution.As a proof-of-concept demonstration,the SSTF scheme was further employed for the fs laser-assisted etching of complicated glass microfluidic structures with 3D uniform sizes.The developed technique can be extended to many applications such as advanced photonics,3D biomimetic printing,micro-electromechanical systems,and lab-on-a-chips.

文摘A new type of beam called the NPEP-BG(a Bessel-Gaussian(BG)beam with a spiral phase term of a new powerexponent-phase(NPEP))is theoretically studied in this paper.The results show that the number of singularities of the phase and side lobes of the intensity of this beam were equal to the topological charges(TCs)and the beam has the characteristics of self-healing during propagation.The NPEP-BG beam combined the partial characteristics of the new power-exponentphase vortex(NPEPV)and the Bessel-Gaussian beam.At the focus of the beam,the characteristic like a perfect vortex beam was present,in which the focal radius is stable and independent of the topological charge.There are multi-focal spots around a ring in the focal plane,meaning that the NPEP-BG beam has a potential for application in multi-particle manipulation.
