RESUMO
An integrated interferometric fiber optic velocimetry sensor has been proposed and demonstrated at the central wavelength of 638 nm. The sensor is based on the principle of two laser-beams' interference. The light signal scattered from the particles or vapor is demodulated to measure the water surface velocity and water vapor velocity. Three velocity measurement experiments are carried out to measure the velocity, and the experimental data shows that the velocity increases linearly in the range of 4 mm·s-1 to 100 mm·s-1, with a slope of linear fitting curve of 0.99777 and the R-Square of 1.00000. The velocity calculated from frequency shift fits well with the reference velocity. The maximum average relative error in the three velocity measurements is less than 2.5%. In addition, the maximum speed of 4.398 m·s-1 is confirmed in the rotating disk calibration experiment, which expands the sensor's velocity measurement range. To solve the problem that it is difficult to directly measure the velocity of small-scale water surface flow velocity, especially from the aspect of the low velocity of air-water surface, the interferometric fiber optic sensor can be applied to the measurement of water surface velocity and wind velocity on the water surface.
RESUMO
We report what we believe to be potential improved performance for a Nd:YAG discrete path slab amplifier configuration based on a hybrid resonator system. The amplifier is driven by a Q-switched 0.3 mJ nanosecond oscillator that generates an initial laser pulse at a repetition rate of 5 KHz and has beam quality of M2<1.3. The input pulse makes 12 passes through the slab amplifier to yield 25 mJ output pulse energy at the absorbed pump power of 878 W. A corresponding optical-to-optical efficiency of 14.3% was obtained, and the beam quality factors M2 in the unstable and stable direction were 1.7 and 1.5, respectively. No detectable signs of amplified spontaneous emission were observed.
RESUMO
A diode-pumped nanosecond eight-pass amplifier with Nd:YVO4 crystal was developed. Combined with the advantages of direct pumped and Innoslab structure, a high energy pulse was obtained by using the wedged multi-folded configuration with two plane mirrors. The 0.4mJ Q-switched seed at the pulse repetition frequency of 10kHz was amplified to 8.4mJ with the pump power of 330W, and the corresponding optical-to-optical efficiency was 29.8%. The M2 factors in the horizontal direction and vertical direction were 1.48 and 1.39, respectively. And no remarkable of ASE was observed.
RESUMO
In this study, ZnS capped Cu-In-S (ZCIS) quantum dots doped with Mn ions are synthesized by a thermal injection method, with luminescence covering almost the entire visible area. The large Stokes shift effectively inhibits the self-absorption effect under luminescence, and the quantum yield of ZCIS quantum dots increased from 38% to 50% after ZnS capping and further to 69% after doping with Mn. First, red-, yellow-, and blue-emitting quantum dots were synthesized and then, polychromatic ensembles were obtained by mixing the trichromatic quantum dots in a different ratio. Using the home-built inkjet printer, multilayered and multicolor mixed patterns were obtained for information pattern storage and multilayer pattern recognition and reading.
RESUMO
In this paper, hydrophobic luminescent CdSe quantum dots are successfully dispersed in a mixture of styrene and methyl methacrylate through the oleic to methacrylic acid ligand exchange. Further in situ solution polymerization of the quantum dots in a mixture of styrene and methyl methacrylate followed by electrospinning allowed us to prepare luminescence hybrid styrene-co-methyl methacrylate fibers embedded with quantum dots. CdSe@P(S+MMA) hybrid fibers with 27% quantum yield showed excellent moisture, heat and salt resistance with a photoluminescence output below 120 °C. When dry heated, the hybrid fibers of the fluorescence signals decreased with temperature to 79%, 40%, 28%, 20% and 13% at 120 °C, 140 °C, 160 °C, 180 °C and 200 °C, respectively, due the to the chemical degradation of CdSe QDs. Such hybrid fibers show the potential to manufacture wearable moisture- and heat-sensing protective clothing in a 120-200 °C range due to the thermal-induced quenching of quantum dot photoluminescence.
