Average power as high as 4.8 W could be obtained at the fundamental mode-locked repetition rate. The NLP can also be transformed into a more powerful DS mode-locking state by optimizing the polarization and losses of intra-cavity pulses in the nonlinear polarization evolution regime. The operation mode between the NLP and DS can be switched, and the laser output performance in both modes has been studied. The main advantage of this work is switchable high-power operation between the NLP and DS. In comparison with conventional single-mode NLP fiber lasers, the multi-function high-power optical source will greatly push its application in supercontinuum generation, coherence tomography, and industrial processing.展开更多

As the dissipative soliton resonance signature, the pulse duration varies from 5SOps to 2.1 ns as a function o~ the increasing pump power. Correspondingly, the maximum pulse energy is 9.11 n3. Moreover, it is found that the wavelength tunable operation with a range of approximately 10 nm could be obtained by properly adjusting the polarization controllers. The characteristics of the rectangular pulses at different wavelengths are similar to each other. The demonstration of the wavelength tunable rectangular pulses would be beneficial to some applications for many fields such as spectroscopy and sensing research.展开更多

Howeve...It is a main form using the main beamwidth of the ambiguity function to judge the signal resolution, in which the range or Doppler resolution of the signals are investigated for the targets close to each other. However, for the pulse signal with rectangular envelope, if the nominal range resolution is calculated from the classic definition, there exists the problem of infinite integral for the high power terms of sine function, and a definite result could not be obtained. Though a definite solution of the nominal velocity resolution can be calculated from the definition, the calculation for the signal consisting of multiple-pulse, especially several periods, is very complex. The paper begins with the physical meaning of nominal resolution rather than from the definition formula to solve the problem using the ambiguity matrix, and make the calculation simplified greatly.展开更多

The rectangular-pulse method based on the computational fluid dynamics approach was employed for calculating the transmission loss. Firstly, the transmission loss of the single-cavity element was simulated without any airflow, and the effects of different structural parameters on the acoustic performance were investigated comprehensively. Secondly, the static transmission loss of the perforated intake pipe was obtained by the rectangular-pulse method, which is proved to be accurate enough compared with the result by finite element method. Thirdly, under the different conditions of the mean airflow and the operating temperature, the specific transmission loss was acquired respectively. In general, the peaks of the transmission loss are shifted to the lower frequency range because of the reverse airflow, but the amplitudes are irregularly changed. Besides, when the operating temperature increases, the peaks are shifted to the higher frequencies. Finally, with the designed perforated pipe installed to the intake system, the road tests were proceeded to evaluate the actual acoustic performance, and the result indicates that the intake sound pressure level is greatly attenuated. Typically in the range of 600–1500 Hz, the insertion loss of the intake noise at the decelerating moment is almost 20 d B(A), and the overall noise is reduced more than 14.2 d B(A). In conclusion, the perforated intake pipe has been proved excellent in improving the acoustic performance of intake system and could provide the guidance for the automotive engineering application.展开更多

The rectangular thin plate is subject to transversal and in-plane excitation. A two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear nonautonomous system governing equations of motion for the rectangular thin plate is derived by the von Karman type equation and the Galerkin approach. A one-to- one internal resonance is considered. An averaged equation is obtained with a multi-scale method. After transforming the averaged equation into a standard form, the extended Melnikov method is used to show the existence of multi-pulse chaotic dynamics, which can be used to explain the mechanism of modal interactions of thin plates. A method for calculating the Melnikov function is given without an explicit analytical expression of homoclinic orbits. Furthermore, restrictions on the damping, excitation, and detuning parameters are obtained, under which the multi-pulse chaotic dynamics is expected. The results of numerical simulations are also given to indicate the existence of small amplitude multi-pulse chaotic responses for the rectangular thin plate.展开更多

文摘Based on an erbium.doped dispersion-managed fiber laser,the characteristics of noise-like pulses under different net cavity group velocity dispersions (GVDs) are experimentally investigated.Results show that the spec-tral bandwidth of noise-like pulse will increase as the net cavity GVD increases and attains maximum when the GVD is slightly positive.The effect of Raman scattering is enhanced due to the temporal width attains minimum.When the net cavity GVD increases continually and further into the positive region, the spectral width begins to decrease and the effect of Raman scattering is suppressed due to the positive dispersion.Our experimental results are in good agreement with the previous prediction of numerical simulation.

文摘We built a Tm:Ho co-doped fiber laser using a Ti3C2 MXene material as a saturable absorber(SA).The formation of vector solitons(VSs)and noise-like pulses(NLPs)was observed.The SA was prepared by dripping a Ti3C2 solution on a side-polished D-shaped fiber and then naturally vaporized.The VS is characterized by two coexisting sets of Kelly sidebands.By modulating the polarization controller in the fiber laser,NLPs with about 3.3 nm bandwidth can be switched from the VS.To the best of our knowledge,this is the first time that VSs have been generated in a fiber laser using a Ti3C2 MXene material as the SA.

文摘We have experimentally presented a watt-level noise-like (NL) pulse mode-locked all-polarization-maintaining(PM) fiber laser centered at ~1995 nm, which can directly generate stable NL pulses with a maximum output power of ~1.017 W and pulse energy of ~0.61 μJ, representing the highest output power of mode-locked NL pulse at 2 μm from any fiber oscillators,to the best of our knowledge. The mode-locked NL pulse laser exhibits an excellent stability with a power fluctuation of~0.1% in 8 h of monitoring, and a signal-to-noise ratio of ~83 dB at a fundamental frequency of ~1.662 MHz. Moreover, the pulse envelope and coherence spike width of the NL pulse can be widely tuned from ~4.5 ns to ~16 ns, and ~364 fs to~323 fs, respectively, with the enhancement of the pump power. Such an all-PM fiber oscillator is the ideal seed source for the implementation of a high-power NL pulse laser and has potential valuable applications in mid-infrared spectroscopy and industrial processing.
文摘In this paper,the finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)algorithm is employed to simulate microwave pulse coupling into the rectangular cavity with aperture arrays.In the case in which the long-side of the slot in aperture arrays is perpendicular to the incident electrical field,and the electrical distribution of each center of slot in the aperture arrays in the process of microwave pulse coupling into the rectangular cavity with aperture arrays is analyzed in detail. We find that the effect of field enhancement of the slot in the middle of all the slots which distribute in the direction parallel to the incident electrical field is minimum and increases in turn from the middle to both sides symmetrically. We also find that the effect of field enhancement of the slot in the middle of all the slots which distribute in the direction perpendicular to the incident electrical field is maximum and decreases in turn from the middle to both sides symmetrically.In the same time,we investigate the factors that influence the effect of field enhancement of the center of each slot and the coupling electrical distribution in the cavity,including the number of slots and the spacing between slots.
