The output of the ARR device is precisely characterized to determine the gain and loss of a laboratory CW Nd:YAG laser by using the Findlay-Clay approach. The ARR arm is then experimentally arranged inside the cavity of an arranged high power side-pumped CW Nd:YAG laser. A coated beam splitter with 50–50% re?ectivity at normal incidence is placed inside the cavity to provide a wide range of re?ectivity from 0 to 100%. This is performed by a rotatable stage and tilting the beam splitter by 10? with the steps of 0.05. By changing the input electrical power of the laser pump the variation of the output laser power is monitored for 20 individual re?ectivity of ARR arm. Average pump threshold power of about 180 W is obtained. With the help of the derived equations and obtained threshold power, small signal gain and loss associated with the emerging beam is estimated. It is verified that the former is very dependent to the input parameters. Laser efficiency is also measures 5.6% which is quite comparable with the reported values.展开更多

Both potentiodynamic polarization and weight loss measurement tests indicated that corrosion resistance of these three alloy steels was as follows: ND ~ S-TEN1 〉 SPA-C. Surface analysis of the corroded samples conducted after the immersion test indicated that two layers were formed on the substrates, with the outer layer comprising FeSO4. H20 and the inner layer mainly comprising iron oxides. The addition of Cu, Cr, and Sb refined the corrosion products and improved the adhesion ability between the rust layer and the substrate.展开更多
