As a is small and makes the ratio a/8 less than 2.2, the melt shape and electromagnetic pressure for confining and shaping are determined not only by magnetic flux density B but also by melt thickness a, electromagnetic parameter μγ and current frequency f. In this paper, an equation used to calculate electromagnetic pressure acting on 'thin plate-form melt' is brought forward. The equation gives a precise relationship between electromagnetic pressure factor p and melt thickness a, electromagnetic parameter μγ and current frequency f.展开更多

The shaping stability and temperature field of the dual frequency EMCS were investigated. The results indicate that to shape stably, the upper liquid/solid interface should be in appropriate position and the lower liquid/solid interface must be above the critical position. The current of heating induction coil and the drawing speed of sample affect the shaping temperature and its peak position, while the current of the shaping induction coil only influences the shaping temperature. During EMCS, the speed of shaped sample affects not the height of the molten metal, but the temperature of molten metal. The height of the molten metal for steady shaping was about 15 mm in the experimental conditions. Several stainless steel plate-like parts with high width to thickness ratio (≥3.5) and directional structure were obtained.展开更多

The silicon pedestal underneath was an octagonal pyramid, thus providing a pointed connection area with the top silica microdisk while weakly influencing the resonance modes. The sidewalls of our microdisks were wedge shaped, which was believed to be an advantage for the mode confinement. Efficient coupling from and to the 60 μm diameter microdisk structure was achieved using tapered optical fibres, exhibiting a quality factor of 1.5×10^4 near a wavelength of 1550 nm. Many resonance modes were observed, and double transverse electric modes were identified by theoretical calculations. The quality factor of the microdisks was also analysed to deduce the cavity roughness. The wet etching technique provides a more convenient avenue to fabricate WGM microdisks than conventional fabrication methods.展开更多

To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the function of seven-core PCFs as temperature sensors is investigated. By using the full vectorial finite element method, the characteristics of the fiber with the temperature, such as the effective mode area, the waveguide dispersion, and the confinement loss, are analyzed. This kind of PCF can be competitive in providing temperature sensing in multi-core PCF lasers.展开更多
