Modeling of the influences of multiple modulated electron cyclotron current drive on NTMs in rotating plasma

In this work, physical models of neoclassical tearing modes （NTMs） including bootstrap current and multiple modulated electron cyclotron current drive model are applied. Based on the specific physical problems during the suppression of NTMs by driven current, this work compares the efficiency of continuous and modulated driven currents, and simulates the physical processes of multiple modulated driven currents on suppressing rotating magnetic island. It is found that when island rotates along the poloidal direction, the suppression ability of continuous driven current can be massively reduced due to current deposition outside the island separatrix and reverse deposition direction at the X point, which can be avoided by current drive modulation. Multiple current drive has a better suppressing effect than single current drive. This work gives realistic numerical simulations by optimizing the model and parameters based on the experiments, which could provide references for successful suppression of NTMs in future advanced tokamak such as international thermonuclear experimental reactor.

Error Model of Rotary Ring Laser Gyro Inertial Navigation System

To improve the precision of inertial navigation system（INS） during long time operation,the rotation modulated technique（RMT） was employed to modulate the errorr of the inertial sensors into periodically varied signals,and,as a result,to suppress the divergence of INS errors.The principle of the RMT was introduced and the error propagating functions were derived from the rotary navigation equation.Effects of the measurement error for the rotation angle of the platform on the system precision were analyzed.The simulation and experimental results show that the precision of INS was ① dramatically improved with the use of the RMT,and ② hardly reduced when the measurement error for the rotation angle was in arc-second level.The study results offer a theoretical basis for engineering design of rotary INS.

Continuous rotation north-finding algorithm based on constrained adaptive Kalman filter

As an orientation measurement system,north-finder has been playing a significant role in both military and civilian fields of orientation and control.In this paper,to deal with drawbacks in the conventional north-finding systems,a dynamic strategy based on continuous rotation modulation to measure the rotational angular velocity of the earth is proposed.By modeling the dynamic error,optimizing the process constraint and estimating dynamic noise,a method combining delay compensation and hardware adjustment,and a constrained adaptive Kalman filter(CAKF)algorithm are designed for the north-finding strategy.According to simulation and experiments,the proposed algorithm can achieve the high-precision north-finding with robust and anti-noise performance.

Generation of arbitrary vector beams based on a single spatial light modulator and a thin-film polarization splitting cubic

A setup for the generation of arbitrary vector beams is proposed. The setup mainly consists of a spatial light modulator（SLM）, an angle-adjustable polarization beam splitter modulator, and a spatial filtering imaging system. Compared with the system using a birefringent beam splitter with a non-adjustable splitting angle,the polarization splitting angle of the improved setup can be adjusted by slightly rotating the related mirrors,which will bring more convenience when different wavelengths and different pixel sizes of SLMs are involved.The experimental results also demonstrate that the setup possesses a good polarization-selective imaging ability, which reveals that the setup may also be useful in polarization-selective spatial filtering imaging and polarization-encoded encryption.
