文摘The intrusion of obstacles onto railway tracks presents a significant threat to train safety,characterized by sudden and unpredictable occurrences.With China leading the world in high-speed rail mileage,ensuring railway security is paramount.The current laser monitoring technologies suffer from high false alarm rates and unreliable intrusion identification.This study addresses these issues by investigating high-resolution laser monitoring technology for railway obstacles,focusing on key parameters such as monitoring range and resolution.We propose an enhanced non-uniform laser scanning method,developing a laser monitoring system that reduces the obstacle false alarm rate to 2.00%,significantly lower than the 20%standard(TJ/GW135-2015).This rate is the best record for laser monitoring systems on China Railway.Our system operates seamlessly in all weather conditions,providing superior accuracy,resolution,and identification efficiency.It is the only 3D LiDAR system certified by the China State Railway Group Co.,Ltd.(Certificate No.[2023]008).Over three years,our system has been deployed at numerous points along various lines managed by the China State Railway Group,accumulating a dataset of 300,000 observations.This extensive deployment has significantly enhanced railway safety.The development and implementation of our railway laser monitoring system represent a substantial advancement in railway safety technology.Its low false alarm rate(2.00%),high accuracy(20 cm×20 cm×20 cm),and robust performance in diverse conditions underscore its potential for widespread adoption,promising to enhance railway safety in China and internationally.

文摘Laser debonding technology has been widely used in advanced chip packaging,such as fan-out integration,2.5D/3D ICs,and MEMS devices.Typically,laser debonding of bonded pairs(R/R separation)is typically achieved by completely removing the material from the ablation region within the release material layer at high energy densities.However,this R/R separation method often results in a significant amount of release material and carbonized debris remaining on the surface of the device wafer,severely reducing product yields and cleaning efficiency for ultra-thin device wafers.Here,we proposed an interfacial separation strategy based on laser-induced hot stamping effect and thermoelastic stress wave,which enables stress-free separation of wafer bonding pairs at the interface of the release layer and the adhesive layer(R/A separation).By comprehensively analyzing the micro-morphology and material composition of the release material,we elucidated the laser debonding behavior of bonded pairs under different separation modes.Additionally,we calculated the ablation threshold of the release material in the case of wafer bonding and established the processing window for different separation methods.This work offers a fresh perspective on the development and application of laser debonding technology.The proposed R/A interface separation method is versatile,controllable,and highly reliable,and does not leave release materials and carbonized debris on device wafers,demonstrating strong industrial adaptability,which greatly facilitates the application and development of advanced packaging for ultra-thin chips.

文摘Despite the promising progress in conductive hydrogels made with pure conducting polymer,great challenges remain in the interface adhesion and robustness in longterm monitoring.To address these challenges,Prof.Seung Hwan Ko and Taek-Soo Kim’s team introduced a laserinduced phase separation and adhesion method for fabricating conductive hydrogels consisting of pure poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrene sulfonate on polymer substrates.The laser-induced phase separation and adhesion treated conducting polymers can be selectively transformed into conductive hydrogels that exhibit wet conductivities of 101.4 S cm^(−1) with a spatial resolution down to 5μm.Moreover,they maintain impedance and charge-storage capacity even after 1 h of sonication.The micropatterned electrode arrays demonstrate their potential in long-term in vivo signal recordings,highlighting their promising role in the field of bioelectronics.
文摘In-situ formed high Mn steel coating reinforced by carbides was formed by laser surface alloying(LSA).Laser alloyed layers on 1Cr18Ni9Ti steel with Mn+W_(2)C(specimen A),Mn+NiWC(specimen B)and Mn+SiC(specimen C)powders were fabricated to improve the wear and corrosion behavior of 1Cr18Ni9Ti steel blades in high speed mixers.Microstructure evolution,phases,element distribution,microhardness,wear and corrosion behavior of the laser alloyed layers were investigated.Results indicated that high Mn steel matrix composites with undissolved W_(2)C,WC and other in-situ formed carbides were formed by LSA with Mn+W_(2)C and Mn+NiWC while SiC totally dissolved into the high Mn matrix when adding Mn+SiC.Ni as the binding phase in Ni-WC powder decreased the crack sensitivity of the alloyed layer as compared with the addition of W_(2)C powder.An improvement in average microhardness was achieved in the matrix in specimen A,B and C,with the value of 615,602 and 277 HV_(0.5),while that of the substrate was 212 HV_(0.5).The increase of microhardness,wear and corrosion resistance is highly corelated to microstructure,formed phases,type and content of carbides,micro-hardness and toughness of the alloyed layers.

文摘The accuracy of spot centroid positioning has a significant impact on the tracking accuracy of the system and the stability of the laser link construction.In satellite laser communication systems,the use of short-wave infrared wavelengths as beacon light can reduce atmospheric absorption and signal attenuation.However,there are strong non-uniformity and blind pixels in the short-wave infrared image,which makes the image distorted and leads to the decrease of spot centroid positioning accuracy.Therefore,the high-precision localization of the spot centroid of the short-wave infrared images is of great research significance.A high-precision spot centroid positioning model for short-wave infrared is proposed to correct for non-uniformity and blind pixels in short-wave infrared images and quantify the localization errors caused by the two,further model-based localization error simulations are performed,and a novel spot centroid positioning payload for satellite laser communications has been designed using the latest 640×512 planar array InGaAs shortwave infrared detector.The experimental results show that the non-uniformity of the corrected image is reduced from 7%to 0.6%,the blind pixels rejection rate reaches 100%,the frame rate can be up to 2000 Hz,and the spot centroid localization accuracy is as high as 0.1 pixel point,which realizes high-precision spot centroid localization of high-frame-frequency short-wave infrared images.

文摘Two-plasmon-decay instability(TPD)poses a critical target preheating risk in direct-drive inertial confinement fusion.In this paper,TPD collectively driven by dual laser beams consisting of a normal-incidence laser beam(Beam-N)and a large-angle-incidence laser beam(Beam-L)is investigated via particle-in-cell simulations.It is found that significant TPD growth can develop in this regime at previously unexpected low laser intensities if the intensity of Beam-L exceeds the large-angle-incidence threshold.Both beams contribute to the growth of TPD in a“seed-amplification”manner in which the absolute instability driven by Beam-L provides the seeds that are convectively amplified by Beam-N,making TPD energetically important and causing significant pump depletion and hot-electron generation.

文摘Broad area quantum cascade lasers(BA QCLs)have significant applications in many areas,but suffer from demanding pulse operating conditions and poor beam quality due to heat accumulation and generation of high order modes.A structure of mini-array is adopted to improve the heat dissipation capacity and beam quality of BA QCLs.The active region is etched to form a multi-emitter and the channels are filled with In P:Fe,which acts as a lateral heat dissipation channel to improve the lateral heat dissipation efficiency.A device withλ~4.8μm,a peak output power of 122 W at 1.2%duty cycle with a pulse of 1.5μs is obtained in room temperature,with far-field single-lobed distribution.This result allows BA QCLs to obtain high peak power at wider pump pulse widths and higher duty cycle conditions,promotes the application of the mid-infrared laser operating in pulsed mode in th e field of standoff photoacoustic chemical detection,space optical communication,and so on.

文摘The influence of Ti and Zr,Nb alloying on the microstructures and performance of laser-welded molybdenum socket joints was investigated.Following Nb alloying,the average microhardness of the fusion zone(FZ)increased from HV 194.7 to HV 283.3.Additionally,Nb can react with O to form dispersed Nb_(2)O_(5) along grain boundaries,impeding grain boundary migration and dislocation movement while reducing the content of volatile Mo oxide along these boundaries.The incorporation of Nb in FZ partially inhibits pore defects and enhances joint load-bearing capacity.In comparison to the laser-welded joints without adding Nb(LW),the tensile strength of the laser-welded joints with Nb alloying(LW-Nb)was significantly improved by approximately 69%from 327.5 to 551.7 MPa.Furthermore,the fracture mechanism of the joints transitioned from intergranular fracture to transgranular fracture.

文摘Controllable rock cracking technology is crucial for the exploration and exploitation of deep underground resources.Many existing studies have been dedicated to the laser-assisted rock-weakening technology.It has been proved that laser irradiation can improve drilling and blasting efficiency when combined with mechanical rock fracturing methods,which are irrelevant for borehole stabilization.To improve the latter,this study used laser ablation for borehole reinforcement.The high-power laser was applied to typical rock samples(sandstone,mudstone and coal)in both dry and saturated conditions.Multi-technique observations and measurements were used to fully understand the peculiar modifications of the specimens under laser treatment,i.e.mechanical loading,acoustic emission(AE)monitoring,digital image correlation(DIC)strain field evaluation,infrared thermography(IRT)monitoring and X-ray computed tomography(CT)scanning.The results showed that,in addition to the effects already demonstrated,laser irradiation can improve the strength of the soft rock,especially in the saturated state.The process involved a complicated phase change including melting and evaporation of the matrix under high-temperature and high-pressure to form a glassy high strength silicate material.This process is similar to the reaction between molten lava and water,or the impact of an asteroid on the earth.Inspired by the results,a conceptual path for a new borehole stabilization technology using laser ablation was outlined.

文摘The characteristics of nonmetallic inclusions formed during steel production have a significant influence on steel performance.In this paper,studies on inclusions using confocal scanning laser microscopy(CSLM)are reviewed and summarized,particularly the col-lision of various inclusions,dissolution of inclusions in liquid slag,and reactions between inclusions and steel.Solid inclusions exhibited a high collision tendency,whereas pure liquid inclusions exhibited minimal collisions because of the small attraction force induced by their<90°contact angle with molten steel.The collision of complex inclusions in molten steel was not included in the scope of this study and should be evaluated in future studies.Higher CaO/Al_(2)O_(3)and CaO/SiO_(2)ratios in liquid slag promoted the dissolution of Al_(2)O_(3)-based in-clusions.The formation of solid phases in the slag should be prevented to improve dissolution of inclusions.To accurately simulate the dissolution of inclusions in liquid slag,in-situ observation of the dissolution of inclusions at the steel-slag interface is necessary.Using a combination of CSLM and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy,the composition and morphological evolution of the inclusions during their modification by the dissolved elements in steel were observed and analyzed.Although the in-situ observa-tion of MnS and TiN precipitations has been widely studied,the in-situ observation of the evolution of oxide inclusions in steel during so-lidification and heating processes has rarely been reported.The effects of temperature,heating and cooling rates,and inclusion character-istics on the formation of acicular ferrites(AFs)have been widely studied.At a cooling rate of 3-5 K/s,the order of AF growth rate in-duced by different inclusions,as reported in literature,is Ti-O<Ti-Ca-Zr-Al-O<Mg-O<Ti-Zr-Al-O<Mn-Ti-Al-O<Ti-Al-O<Zr-Ti-Al-O.Further comprehensive experiments are required to investigate the quantitative relationship between the formation of AFs and inclusions.

文摘Transparent materials utilized as underwater optical windows are highly vulnerable to various forms of pollution or abrasion due to their intrinsic hydrophilic properties.This susceptibility is particularly pronounced in underwater environments where pollutants can impede the operation of these optical devices,significantly degrading or even compromising their optical properties.The glass catfish,known for its remarkable transparency in water,maintains surface cleanliness and clarity despite exposure to contaminants,impurities abrasion,and hydraulic pressure.Inspired by the glass catfish’s natural attributes,this study introduces a new solution named subaquatic abrasion-resistant and anti-fouling window(SAAW).Utilizing femtosecond laser ablation and electrodeposition,the SAAW is engineered by embedding fine metal bone structures into a transparent substrate and anti-fouling sliding layer,akin to the sturdy bones among catfish’s body.This approach significantly bolsters the window’s abrasion resistance and anti-fouling performance while maintaining high light transmittance.The sliding layer on the SAAW’s surface remarkably reduces the friction of various liquids,which is the reason that SAAW owns the great anti-fouling property.The SAAW demonstrates outstanding optical clarity even after enduring hundreds of sandpaper abrasions,attributing to the fine metal bone structures bearing all external forces and protecting the sliding layer of SAAW.Furthermore,it exhibits exceptional resistance to biological adhesion and underwater pressure.In a green algae environment,the window remains clean with minimal change in transmittance over one month.Moreover,it retains its wettability and anti-fouling properties when subjected to a depth of 30 m of underwater pressure for 30 d.Hence,the SAAW prepared by femtosecond laser ablation and electrodeposition presents a promising strategy for developing stable optical windows in liquid environments.

文摘We demonstrate an integrating sphere to cool~(87)Rb atoms and measure the recoil-induced resonance and electromagnetically induced absorption spectrum.We measure the relationship between their linewidth and light shift with variation of the detuning and power of the cooling laser and study the performance of the diffuse laser cooling mechanism by the absorption linewidth radio?ν_E/?ν_R and light shift|?_R-?_E|using nonlinear spectroscopy.Specifically,when?ν_E/?ν_R reaches a value of 1.57,the temperature and number of cold atoms achieve the optimal cooling effect.This characterization of absorption linewidth and light shift will provide a method to estimate whether diffuse light cooling achieves the best cooling effect,contributing to the future development of isotropic laser cooling for application in quantum sensing.
