The effect of noncanonical strength, off-axis distance and vortex sign on spatial correlation singularities in far field is stressed. Furthermore, far-field OAM spectra and densities are also investigated, and the OAM detection and crosstalk probabilities are discussed. The results show that the number of dislocations of SCS always equals the sum of absolute values of topological charges for canonical or noncanonical vortex pairs. Although the sum of the product of each OAM mode and its power weight equals the algebraic sum of topological charges for canonical vortex pairs, the relationship no longer holds in the noncanonical case except for opposite-charge vortex pairs. The changes of off-axis distance, noncanonical strength or coherence length can lead to a more dominant power in adjacent mode than that in center detection mode, which also indicates that crosstalk probabilities of adjacent modes exceed the center detection probability. This work may provide potential applications in OAM-based optical communication, imaging, sensing and computing.展开更多

The application, developed on the Lab VIEW platform, allows us to control the camera's main attribute settings, such as the shutter speed and the gain, record the images in the region of interest, and process and filter the images in real time. To analyze the data from the obtained image, we have developed an algorithm called measurement and analysis of ion beam luminosity(MAIBL) to reconstruct the four-dimensional(4D) beam profile and calculate the root mean square(RMS) emittance. Before measuring emittance, we performed a simulated experiment using the pepper-pot simulation(PPS) program. An exported file(PPS) gives a numerically generated raw image(mock image) of a beam with a predefined emittance value after it has passed through a pepper-pot mask. By analyzing data from mock images instead of the image obtained by the camera and putting it into the MAIBL algorithm, we can compare the calculated emittance with PPS's initial emittance value. In this paper, we present our computational tools and explain the method for verifying the correctness of the calculated emittance values.展开更多

However, it faces the following challenges.First, the existing EIM can only handle cases with known deformation modes. Second,the existing EIM is only applicable to Euler beams, and there is no EIM available for higher-precision Timoshenko and Reissner beams in cases where both force and moment are applied at the end. This paper proposes a general EIM for Reissner beams under arbitrary boundary conditions. On this basis, an analytical equation for determining the sign of the elliptic integral is provided. Based on the equation, we discover a class of elliptic integral piecewise points that are distinct from inflection points. More importantly, we propose an algorithm that automatically calculates the number of inflection points and other piecewise points during the nonlinear solution process, which is crucial for beams with unknown or changing deformation modes.展开更多

文摘By introducing noncanonical vortex pairs to partially coherent beams, spatial correlation singularity (SCS) and orbital angular momenta (OAM) of the resulting beams are studied using the Fraunhofer diffraction integral. The effect of noncanonical strength, off-axis distance and vortex sign on spatial correlation singularities in far field is stressed. Furthermore, far-field OAM spectra and densities are also investigated, and the OAM detection and crosstalk probabilities are discussed. The results show that the number of dislocations of SCS always equals the sum of absolute values of topological charges for canonical or noncanonical vortex pairs. Although the sum of the product of each OAM mode and its power weight equals the algebraic sum of topological charges for canonical vortex pairs, the relationship no longer holds in the noncanonical case except for opposite-charge vortex pairs. The changes of off-axis distance, noncanonical strength or coherence length can lead to a more dominant power in adjacent mode than that in center detection mode, which also indicates that crosstalk probabilities of adjacent modes exceed the center detection probability. This work may provide potential applications in OAM-based optical communication, imaging, sensing and computing.

文摘On-chip devices for generating pre-designed vectorial optical fields(VOFs)under surface wave(SW)excitations are highly desired in integrated photonics.However,conventional devices are usually of large footprints,low efficiencies,and limited wave-control capabilities.Here,we present a generic approach to design ultra-compact on-chip devices that can efficiently generate pre-designed VOFs under SW excitations,and experimentally verify the concept in terahertz(THz)regime.We first describe how to design SW-excitation metasurfaces for generating circularly polarized complex beams,and experimentally demonstrate two meta-devices to realize directional emission and focusing of THz waves with oppo-site circular polarizations,respectively.We then establish a systematic approach to construct an integrated device via merging two carefully designed metasurfaces,which,under SW excitations,can separately produce pre-designed far-field patterns with different circular polarizations and generate target VOF based on their interference.As a proof of con-cept,we demonstrate experimentally a meta-device that can generate a radially polarized Bessel beam under SW excita-tion at~0.4 THz.Experimental results agree well with full-wave simulations,collectively verifying the performance of our device.Our study paves the road to realizing highly integrated on-chip functional THz devices,which may find many ap-plications in biological sensing,communications,displays,image multiplexing,and beyond.

文摘In order to solve the problems of low overload power in MEMS cantilever beams and low sensitivity in traditional MEMS fixed beams,a novel MEMS microwave power detection chip based on the dual-guided fixed beam is designed.A gap between guiding beams and measuring electrodes is designed to accelerate the release of the sacrificial layer,effectively enhanc-ing chip performance.A load sensing model for the MEMS fixed beam microwave power detection chip is proposed,and the mechanical characteristics are analyzed based on the uniform load applied.The overload power and sensitivity are investi-gated using the load sensing model,and experimental results are compared with theoretical results.The detection chip exhibits excellent microwave characteristic in the 9-11 GHz frequency band,with a return loss less than-10 dB.At a signal fre-quency of 10 GHz,the theoretical sensitivity is 13.8 fF/W,closely matching the measured value of 14.3 fF/W,with a relative error of only 3.5%.These results demonstrate that the proposed load sensing model provides significant theoretical support for the design and performance optimization of MEMS microwave power detection chips.

文摘This paper proposes a method to generate Bessel-like collimated beams with suppressed side lobes using the flexural vibration modes of a fixed boundary circular plate,which is excited by a longitudinally vibrating transducer in a ring excitation manner.The factors affecting the generation of Bessel-like collimated beams are investigated by theoretical analysis,numerical simulation and experimental methods.The results indicate that Bessel-like wave can be generated by a thin circular plate with fixed boundaries.The third-order mode of the circular plate can be modified to generate a collimated beam with suppressing side lobes when it is excited in a ring excitation manner and the excitation position lies between the first two nodal circles of the plate.As the excitation radius increases,the main lobe width of the resulting Bessel-like collimated beam decreases,the extent of the focusing region increases,and the amplitude of the side lobes initially increases and then decreases.Based on the simulation results,a prototype Bessel-like collimated beam generation system is made and measured experimentally.The experimental results are in good agreement with the numerical results.The Bessel-like collimated beam can be generated by the proposed system,which has potential application in the fields of long-range detection,imaging of highly attenuated materials,and airflow acceleration.
文摘Glue-laminated timber(GLT)is an engineered wood product widely used in mass timber construction for its strong structural and fire-resistant properties.However,the fire performance of GLT varies significantly due to the natural and uncertain phenomena(moisture,exposure time,isotropic,homogenous properties,etc.)of fire and timber.This makes it difficult to predict the fire behaviour of the GLT structural elements.To ensure building safety,it is crucial to assess GLT’s fire behaviour and post-fire structural integrity during the design stages.This study conducted the experimental tests of GLT beams(280 mm×560 mm)without loading(1.4 m)and under a four-point bending load(5.4 m).Tests identified thermal behaviour and charring rates of GLT beam.Then,the residual stiffness of the GLT beam was calculated,and the charring rates of the beams were compared with Australian and European standards.Reliability analysis was conducted for beams for a fire exposure of 120 min,considering the charring rates observed through the analysis and simulating the fire insulations.Results show that the charring rate of GLT made with spruce pine timber varied between 0.43 and 0.81 mm/min,with a mean rate of 0.7 mm/min,aligning with both Australian and European standards.However,considering timber density and moisture content,the charring rates in Australian standards were conservative.The study also found that structural capacity significantly degrades under fire,with a 22%reduction in flexural stiffness after 120 min of exposure.Additionally,GLT beams can safely function for 30 min under 75%of their design moment capacity and for 60 min under 50%capacity.
文摘Electron beam fluorescence technology is an advanced non-contact measurement in rarefied flow fields,and the fluorescence signal intensity is positively correlated with the electron beam current.The ion bombardment secondary emission electron gun is suitable for the technology.To enhance the beam current,COMSOL simulations and analyses were conducted to examine plasma density distribution in the discharge chamber under the effects of various conditions and the electric field distribution between the cathode and the spacer gap.The anode shape and discharge pressure conditions were optimized to increase plasma density.Additionally,an improved spacer structure was designed with the dual purpose of enhancing the electric field distribution between the cathode-spacer gaps and improving vacuum differential effects.This design modification aims to increase the pass rate of secondary electrons.Both simulation and experimental results demonstrated that the performance of the optimized electron gun was effectively enhanced.When the electrode voltage remains constant and the discharge gas pressure is adjusted to around 8 Pa,the maximum beam current was increased from 0.9 mA to 1.6 mA.

文摘The elliptic integral method(EIM) is an efficient analytical approach for analyzing large deformations of elastic beams. However, it faces the following challenges.First, the existing EIM can only handle cases with known deformation modes. Second,the existing EIM is only applicable to Euler beams, and there is no EIM available for higher-precision Timoshenko and Reissner beams in cases where both force and moment are applied at the end. This paper proposes a general EIM for Reissner beams under arbitrary boundary conditions. On this basis, an analytical equation for determining the sign of the elliptic integral is provided. Based on the equation, we discover a class of elliptic integral piecewise points that are distinct from inflection points. More importantly, we propose an algorithm that automatically calculates the number of inflection points and other piecewise points during the nonlinear solution process, which is crucial for beams with unknown or changing deformation modes.

文摘Off-axis-rotating elliptical Gaussian beams(Oare GB)oblique incidence in strong nonlocal medium exhibit novel propagation properties.The analytical expressions of semi-axial beam widths,and center-of-mass trajectory equations for transmitting off-axis-rotating elliptical Gaussian beams in strong nonlocal media are obtained using the ABCD transfer matrix method.The study revealed that the trajectory of the mass's center in the cross-section can be controlled by changing the sizes of the Oare GB parameters c,d,ζ,and f.The gradient force of the light field causes the spot region to form a spatial potential well in the media,and this spatial potential well can effectively capture nanoparticles.The particles captured by the light field can move along with the beam,realizing the effective manipulation of the particle trajectory.These laws may be applied to modulating the propagation path of light beams and optical tweezer technology.
