It can be found that the pulse regime can actually consist of a lot of small noise pulses with randomly varying intensities. We believe that these results will further enrich the nonlinear dynamical processes in the ultrafast lasers.展开更多

Due to current experimental limitations, it is difficult to directly achieve this type of laser light source in the laboratory. In this paper, we obtain such an ideal light source by adding a Ti sapphire pulse to the combined pulse laser consisting of two mid-infrared pulses. Specifically, by combining the synthesized pulse consisting of 8 fs/1200 nm/1.62 × 10^(14)W cm^(-2)and 12 fs/1800 nm/2.71 × 10^(14)W cm^(-2)with an additional 8 fs/800 nm/1.26 × 10^(14)W cm^(-2)Ti sapphire pulse, the resulting electric field waveform is very close to that of a 1170 nm femtosecond pulse with an intensity of 1.4 × 10^(15)W cm^(-2), a single-cycle pulse width, and a carrier-envelope phase of 0.25π. Numerical simulations show that both cases produce high-order harmonic emission spectra with broadband supercontinuum spectra, however, the bandwidth of the supercontinuum spectra and the harmonic intensities in the synthesized pulses are significantly better than those in the single1170 nm pulse. After inverse Fourier transform, we obtain 66 as a high-intensity isolated attosecond pulse, whose intensity is five orders of magnitude higher than that of a monochromatic field. Here, the phase differences between three combined pulse lasers have little effect on the numerical simulation results when they vary in the range of 0.3π.展开更多

In this paper, we propose a novel logging method for detection of high-resistance formations in OBM using highfrequency electrodes. The method addresses the issue of shallow depth of investigation(DOI) in existing electrical logging instruments, while simultaneously ensuring the vertical resolution. Based on the principle of current continuity, the total impedance of the loop is obtained by equating the measurement loop to the series form of a capacitively coupled circuit. and its validity is verified in a homogeneous formation model and a radial two-layer formation model with a mud standoff. Then, the instrument operating frequency and electrode system parameters were preferentially determined by numerical simulation, and the effect of mud gap on impedance measurement was investigated. Subsequently, the DOI of the instrument was investigated utilizing the pseudo-geometric factor defined by the real part of impedance. It was determined that the detection depth of the instrument is 8.74 cm, while the effective vertical resolution was not less than 2 cm. Finally, a focused high-frequency electrode-type instrument was designed by introducing a pair of focused electrodes, which effectively enhanced the DOI of the instrument and was successfully deployed in the Oklahoma formation model. The simulation results demonstrate that the novel method can achieve a detection depth of 17.40 cm in highly-resistive formations drilling with OBM, which is approximately twice the depth of detection of the existing oil-based mud microimager instruments. Furthermore, its effective vertical resolution remains at or above 2 cm,which is comparable to the resolution of the existing OBM electrical logging instrument.展开更多

The method addresses the issue of shallow depth of investigation(DOI) in existing electrical logging instruments, while simultaneously ensuring the vertical resolution. Based on the principle of current continuity, the total impedance of the loop is obtained by equating the measurement loop to the series form of a capacitively coupled circuit. and its validity is verified in a homogeneous formation model and a radial two-layer formation model with a mud standoff. Then, the instrument operating frequency and electrode system parameters were preferentially determined by numerical simulation, and the effect of mud gap on impedance measurement was investigated. Subsequently, the DOI of the instrument was investigated utilizing the pseudo-geometric factor defined by the real part of impedance. It was determined that the detection depth of the instrument is 8.74 cm, while the effective vertical resolution was not less than 2 cm. Finally, a focused high-frequency electrode-type instrument was designed by introducing a pair of focused electrodes, which effectively enhanced the DOI of the instrument and was successfully deployed in the Oklahoma formation model. The simulation results demonstrate that the novel method can achieve a detection depth of 17.40 cm in highly-resistive formations drilling with OBM, which is approximately twice the depth of detection of the existing oil-based mud microimager instruments. Furthermore, its effective vertical resolution remains at or above 2 cm,which is comparable to the resolution of the existing OBM electrical logging instrument.
文摘Objective:To analyze the significance of high-frequency ultrasound in differentiating benign and malignant breast micronodules.Methods:Eighty-five patients with breast micronodules admitted for diagnosis between October 2022 and October 2024 were selected for high-frequency ultrasound diagnosis.The diagnostic efficacy of high-frequency ultrasound was evaluated by comparing it with the results of surgical pathology.Results:High-frequency ultrasound detected 50 benign nodules,primarily breast fibroadenomas,and 35 malignant nodules,mainly breast ductal carcinoma in situ.Based on surgical pathology results,the diagnostic accuracy of high-frequency ultrasound was 96.47%,specificity was 97.96%,and sensitivity was 94.44%.In high-frequency ultrasound diagnosis,the proportion of grade III and IV blood flow in malignant nodules was higher than that in benign nodules,while the proportion of regular shape and clear margins was lower.The proportion of microcalcifications and posterior echo attenuation was higher in malignant nodules,and the resistance index(RI)and peak blood flow velocity were lower than those in benign nodules(P<0.05).Conclusion:High-frequency ultrasound can effectively differentiate benign and malignant breast micronodules,determine specific nodule types,and exhibits high diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity.Additionally,benign and malignant nodules can be differentiated based on the grading of blood flow signals,sonographic features,and blood flow velocity,providing reasonable guidance for subsequent treatment plans.

文摘Doping with Ga effectively enhances the crystal quality and optical detection efficiency of zinc oxide(Zn O)single crystals,which has attracted considerable research interest in radiation detection.The application of Zn O:Ga(GZO)in nuclear energy is particularly significant and fascinating at the fundamental level,enabling neutron/gamma discrimination while preserving the response time properties of the single crystal in sub-nanoseconds,maximizing the effective counting rate of the pulsed radiation field.In this study,the single-particle waveform discrimination characteristics of GZO were evaluated for five charged particles(α,β,H^(+),Li^(+),and O^(8+)and two prevalent uncharged particles(neutrons and gamma rays).Based on the timecorrelation single-photon counting(TCSPC)method,the luminescence decay time constants of the charged particles in the GZO crystal were determined as follows:1.21 ns for H^(+),1.50 ns for Li^(+),1.70 ns for O^(8+),1.56 ns forαparticles,and 1.09 ns forβparticles.Visible differences in the excitation time spectra curves were observed.Using the conventional time-domain or frequency-domain waveform discrimination techniques,waveform discrimination of 14.9 Me V neutrons and secondary gamma rays generated by the CPNG-6 device based on GZO scintillation was successfully implemented.The neutron signal constituted 77.93%of the total,indicating that GZO exhibited superior neutron/gamma discrimination sensitivity compared with that of a commercial stilbene crystal.Using the neutron/gamma screening outcomes,we reconstructed the voltage pulse height,charge height,and neutron multiplication time spectra of the pulsed neutron radiation field.The reconstructed neutron multiplication time spectrum exhibited a deviation of less than 3%relative to the result obtained using a commercial stilbene scintillator.This is the first report in the open literature on the neutron/gamma discrimination and reconstruction of Zn O pulsed radiation-field information.

文摘As a critical component of pulse solid rocket motors(SRMs),the soft pulse separation device(PSD)is vital in enabling multi-pulse propulsion and has become a breakthrough in SRM engineering applications.To investigate the opening performance of the PSD,an axial PSD incorporating a star-shaped prefabricated defect was designed.The opening process was simulated using peridynamics,yielding the strain field distribution and the corresponding failure mode.A single-opening verification test was conducted.The simulation results showed good agreement with the experimental data,demonstrating the reliability of the peridynamic modeling approach.Furthermore,the effects of the prefabricated defect shape and depth on the opening performance of the PSD were analyzed through simulation.The research results indicate that the established constitutive model and failure criteria based on peridynamics can reasonably predict the failure location and the opening pressure of the soft PSD.Under the impact loading,the weak zone of the soft PSD firstly ruptures,and the damaged area gradually propagates along with the prefabricated defect,eventually leading to complete separation.A smaller prefabricated defect depth or a wider prefabricated defect distribution can cause a reduction in opening pressure.These research results provide valuable guidance for the preliminary design and optimization of PSDs in pulse solid rocket motors.

文摘This study examines the high-order harmonic radiation behavior of MgO crystals driven by combined pulses based on the numerical solution of the semiconductor Bloch equation.We found that compared with the monochromatic pulse,the MgO crystal can radiate a continuous harmonic spectrum with two platforms driven by the three-color combined pulse.The reason is that under the three-color combined pulse,the electron ionization and recombination can be effectively controlled within a half-optical cycle of the laser pulse.Using this continuous spectrum,we synthesized an isolated attosecond pulse with a duration of approximately 370 as.This study provides a new perspective on all-solid-state compact optical devices.
文摘China has a long history of coal mining,among which open-pit coal mines have a large number of small coal mine goafs underground.The distribution,shape,structure and other characteristics of goafs are isolated and discontinuous,and there is no definite geological law to follow,which seriously threatens the safety of coal mine production and personnel life.Conventional ground geophysical methods have low accuracy in detecting goaf areas affected by mechanical interference from open-pit mines,especially for waterless goaf areas,which cannot be detected by existing methods.This article proposes the use of high-frequency electromagnetic waves for goaf detection.The feasibility of using drilling radar to detect goaf was theoretically analyzed,and a goaf detection model was established.The response characteristics of different fillers in the goaf under different frequencies of high-frequency electromagnetic waves were simulated and analyzed.In a certain open-pit mine in Inner Mongolia,100MHz high-frequency electromagnetic waves were used to detect the goaf through directional drilling on the ground.After detection,excavation verification was carried out,and the location of one goaf detected was verified.The results of engineering practice show that the application of high-frequency electromagnetic waves in goaf detection expands the detection radius of boreholes,has the advantages of high efficiency and accuracy,and has important theoretical and practical significance.
文摘We demonstrated a new type of MAX phase material,chromium titanium aluminum carbide(Cr_(2)TiAlC_(2)) polymer film,to generate a passively Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser(EDFL).The film thickness was measured to be around 45 μm,which was fabricated using the embedding method with polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) polymer as hoster.The saturable absorber(SA) film demonstrates a dual-wavelength passively Q-switched EDFL which operates at 1 531 nm and 1 560.19 nm,respectively.The Q-switching pulse duration could be varied from 2.46 μs to 770 ns,while the repetition rate varied from 92.76 kHz to 106.6 kHz with an increasing input pumping range from 154 mW to 300 mW.The maximum output power and pulse energy of 15.05 mW and 141.18 nJ were obtained at the maximum input power of 300 mW,respectively.

文摘Single-shot ultrafast compressed imaging(UCI)is an effective tool for studying ultrafast dynamics in physics,chemistry,or material science because of its excellent high frame rate and large frame number.However,the random code(Rcode)used in traditional UCI will lead to low-frequency noise covering high-frequency information due to its uneven sampling interval,which is a great challenge in the fidelity of large-frame reconstruction.Here,a high-frequency enhanced compressed active photography(H-CAP)is proposed.By uniformizing the sampling interval of R-code,H-CAP capture the ultrafast process with a random uniform sampling mode.This sampling mode makes the high-frequency sampling energy dominant,which greatly suppresses the low-frequency noise blurring caused by R-code and achieves high-frequency information of image enhanced.The superior dynamic performance and large-frame reconstruction ability of H-CAP are verified by imaging optical self-focusing effect and static object,respectively.We applied H-CAP to the spatial-temporal characterization of double-pulse induced silicon surface ablation dynamics,which is performed within 220 frames in a single-shot of 300 ps.H-CAP provides a high-fidelity imaging method for observing ultrafast unrepeatable dynamic processes with large frames.
