A phenomenological model of the fundamental power coupler for a superconducting resonator

In this study,a phenomenological model of the radio frequency(RF)behavior of a superconducting cavity fundamental power coupler is proposed by analyzing the simulation results of a transient beam-loading process in an extremely overcoupled superconducting cavity.Using this phenomenological model,the calculation of the transient reflected power from a superconducting cavity under beam loading can be mathematically simplified to algebraic operations without solving the differential equation governing the transient beam-loading process,while maintaining the calculation accuracy.Moreover,this phenomenological model can facilitate an intuitive understanding of the significant surge in the time evolution of reflected power from a superconducting cavity in certain beam-loading processes.The validity of this phenomenological model was carefully examined in various beam-loading processes and cavity conditions,and the method based on this phenomenological model was utilized in the transient RF analysis of the superconducting cavity system of the CAFe Linac,achieving satisfactory results.

Error Detection and Pattern Prediction Through Phase II Process Monitoring

The continuous monitoring of the machine is beneficial in improving its process reliability through reflected power function distribution.It is substantial for identifying and removing errors at the early stages of production that ultimately benefit the firms in cost-saving and quality improvement.The current study introduces control charts that help the manufacturing concerns to keep the production process in control.It presents an exponentially weighted moving average and extended exponentially weighted moving average and then compared their performance.The percentiles estimator and the modified maximum likelihood estimator are used to constructing the control charts.The findings suggest that an extended exponentially weighted moving average control chart based on the percentiles estimator performs better than exponentially weightedmoving average control charts based on the percentiles estimator and modified maximum likelihood estimator.Further,these results will help the firms in the early detection of errors that enhance the process reliability of the telecommunications and financing industry.

Kubelka-Munk Revised Theory for High Solar Reflectance and High Long-wave Emissivity Coatings Designing

The Kubelka-Munk revised theory was adopted to derive the mix design theory of high solar reflectance and high emissivity coatings.When the concentration of each colorant is within 20%,and the width of the coating is more than 200 μm,each colorant has enough covering power in visible and near-infrared spectral range.It can be assumed that the addition of colorants in coatings can only change the solar spectral absorption ratio rather than solar spectral scattering coefficient.The spectral scattering coefficient of coatings tends to a constant.The spectral absorption-scattering property of each colorant can be characterized through one parameter.The spectral absorption-scattering coefficient of coatings can be calculated with the multivariate linear relationship of each pigment.Moreover,the results can be expanded for high solar reflectivity and high long-wave emissivity coating preparation.The accuracy of Kubelka-Munk revised theory has been tested and verified through comparison between the calculated value and tested value of coating reflectance.

Spectra Power and Bandwidth of Fiber Bragg Grating Under Influence of Gradient Strain

The reflective spectrum power and the bandwidth of the fiber Bragg grating （FBG） under gradient strain are researched and experimentally demonstrated. The gradient strain is applied on the FBG, which can induce FBG bandwidth broadening, resulting in the variation of reflective power. Based on the coupled-mode theory and transfer matrix method, the segmental linear relationship between the gradient strain, the reflective power, and the bandwidth is simulated and analyzed, and the influence of the FBG length on the reflective spectrum is analyzed. In the experiment, the strict gradient stain device is designed; the experimental results indicate that the reflective optic power and the bandwidth of the FBG under gradient stain are concerned with the length of the FBG. Experimental results are well consistent with the theoretical analysis, which have important guiding significance in the FBG dynamic sensing.

Implementation of Interrogation Systems for Fiber Bragg Grating Sensors

The development of two simple methods for wavelength-optical intensity modulation techniques for fiber Bragg grating （FBG） sensors is presented. The performance is evaluated by measuring the strain and temperature. The first method consists of a narrow band source, an optical circulator, an FBG; and a power meter. The source and Bragg reflected signal from the FBG need to be matched to get linear results with good power levels. The source spectral power levels are very critical in this study. The power reflected from a matched reference FBG is fed into the measuring FBG in the second method. Since the FBGs are matched, the entire power is reflected back initially. During the measurement, the change in the measurand causes the reflected power from the sensing FBG to vary. A costly high resolution spectrum analyzer is required only during the characterization of the FBG and source. The performances of two interrogators are compared by measuring the strain and temperature. In the second method, the strain measurements can be made insensitive to the temperature variation by selecting a source with a flat spectrum at the measurement range. Highlights of these methods are the portability, cost effectiveness and better resolution.

Analytical solution to the transient beam loading effects of a superconducting cavity

Transient beam loading is one of the key issues in any high beam current intensity superconducting accelerators, and needs to be carefully investigated. The core problem in the analysis is to obtain the time evolution of effective cavity voltage under transient beam loading. To simplify the problem, the second order ordinary differential equation describing the behavior of the effective cavity voltage is intuitively simplified to a first order one, with the aid of two critical approximations which lack proof of their validity. In this paper, the validity is examined mathematically in some specific cases, resulting in a criterion for the simplification. It is popular to solve the approximate equation for the effective cavity voltage numerically, while this paper shows that it can also be solved analytically under the step function approximation for the driven term. With the analytical solution to the effective cavity voltage, the transient reflected power from the cavity and the energy gain of the central particle in the bunch can also be calculated analytically. The validity of the step function approximation for the driven term is examined by direct evaluations.After that, the analytical results are compared with the numerical ones.

Effect of sample temperature on laser-induced semiconductor plasma spectroscopy

We investigate the temperature dependence of the emission spectrum of a laser-induced semiconductor（Ge and Si） plasma. The change in spectral intensity with the sample temperature indicates the change of the laser ablation mass. The reflectivity of the target surface is reduced as the sample is heated, which leads to an increase in the laser energy coupled to the surface of the sample and eventually produces a higher spectral intensity.The spectral intensities are enhanced by a few times at high temperatures compared with the cases at low temperatures. The spectral intensity of Ge is enhanced by 1.5 times at 422.66 nm, and 3 times at589.33 nm when the sample temperature increases from 50°C to 300°C. We can obtain the same emission intensity by a more powerful laser or by less pulse energy with a higher sample temperature. Based on experimental observations we conclude that the preheated sample can improve the emission intensity of laser-induced semiconductor plasma spectroscopy.
