Investigations of non-linear absorption of q-switching absorbers were carried out. Three types of saturable absorbers were examined (Cr4+:YAG at the wavelength of 1064 nm, V3+:YAG and Co2+:YAG at the wavelength of 1332 nm) and their principal parameters were estimated. To appropriately determine these parameters 48 samples of Cr4+:YAG, 42 samples of V3+:YAG and 26 samples of Co2+:YAG were investigated making the results more reliable. Three different models of analysis of saturation effect were described and the best one chosen. Using the best model for the analysis the main parameters of the saturable absorbers were determined. On the basis of so many samples the standard deviation of the ground state absorption cross section, the excited state absorption cross section and the unsaturable losses were calculated showing how the value of these parameters may differ even for the same type of crystal.

AbstractSince our attempts to grow YAP:Co,Si non-linear absorbers have failed, we switched to Czochralski grown YAGs doped with the same ions. This time, however, the new material was found to exhibit excellent, non-linear absorption, which can be used directly in Q-switching elements in laser systems. In this work we report on technology of YAG single crystals doped with Co and Si, their optical properties, and, finally, on their non-linear absorption. An explanation on why the YAPs were found to be inefficient in non-linear absorption was also provided.

A series of methyl-terminated oligooxyethylene ( CH 3( OCH 2 CH 2)n O , n = 8.8)-substituted phthalocyanines with peripheral substitution at four β positions, at four α positions and at the eight α positions was synthesized and structurally characterized. These compounds are isotropic liquids above 10 °C. Non-linear optical properties of the tetra-α- and tetra-β-substituted compounds were examined. Both are reverse saturable absorbers in the visible region of the spectrum, but the tetra-α-substituted compound has the larger non-linear absorption coefficient and can be a useful optical limiter in cases where a non-volatile liquid is desirable.

Abstract This paper deals with the determination of compressive strength of concrete. Cubes, cylinders and re-used test beams were tested. The concrete beams were first subjected to three-point or fourpoint bending tests and then used for determination of the compressive strength of concrete. Some concrete beams were reinforced, while others had no reinforcement. Accuracy of the experiments and calculations was verified in a non-linear analysis.

This paper presents a method for modeling of pneumatic bias tire axisymmetric deformation. A previously developed model of all-steel radial tire was expanded to include the non-linear stress–strain relationship for textile cord and its thermal shrinkage. Variable cord density and cord angle in the cord-rubber bias tire composite are the major challenges in pneumatic tire modeling. The variabilities result from the tire formation process, and they were taken into account in the model. Mechanical properties of the composite were described using a technique of orthotropic reinforcement overlaying onto isotropic rubber elements, treated as a hyperelastic incompressible material. Due to large displacements, the non-linear problem was solved using total Lagrangian formulation. The model uses MSC.Marc code with implemented user subroutines, allowing for the description of the tire specific properties. The efficiency of the model was verified in the simulation of mounting and inflation of an actual bias truck tire. The shrinkage negligence effect on cord forces and on displacements was examined. A method of investigating the influence of variation of cord angle in green body plies on tire apparent lateral stiffness was proposed. The created model is stabile, ensuring convergent solutions even with large deformations. Inflated tire sizes predicted by the model are consistent with the actual tire sizes. The distinguishing feature of the developed model from other ones is the exact determination of the cord angles in a vulcanized tire and the possibility of simulation with the tire mounting on the rim and with cord thermal shrinkage taken into account. The model may be an effective tool in bias tire design.
