Aluminum Surfaces

Within the framework of the bilateral CORNET projects MeTexCom and MeTexCom2, new approaches were developed and tested to improve the adhesion strength of metal textile composites, with a focus on the targeted roughening of aluminum surfaces and the development of new acoustically insulating nonwovens. The metal textile composites were produced by melting thermoplastic components of the textile composites without a separately applied adhesive.For improved adhesion strength between metal and textile, roughness was generated on the metal surface by means of a novel arc treatment by an anodic polarized TIG process or a cw (continuous wave) fiber laser process. On the one hand, the goal was to produce uniformly rough, untercut surface structures in micro-and nanodimension by means of a highly dynamic arcing process. On the other hand, a similar approach was pursued with the cw laser method by using a single-mode as well as a multi-mode laser.

Coherent Modulation

A novel high speed and ultra long-haul radio-over-fiber (ROF) system based on Dual Photoelectric Arms Coherent Modulation (DPACM) and Optical Duo-Binary Coding (ODBC) is proposed, and demonstrated. The signal spectrum bandwidth, generated by ODBC based on the first order DPACM, is half of non-return-to-zero (NRZ ) signal spectrum bandwidth. The secondary order DPACM generates a 40-GHz Millimeter-wave (mm-wave) that is transmitted over fiber (ROF). The simulation results show that, the bit rate can be up to 40 Gbps and the transmission distance is over 1500 Km, based on the ROF system with a 0 dBm continuous-wave laser source, multiple stages Er-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA), a standard single mode fiber (SSMF) with a dispersion of 17 ps/nm/Km and a attenuation of 0.2 dB/Km.

Thin Film Processing

Carbon dioxide (CO2) laser is widely used in commercial and industrial fields to process various materials including polymers, most of which have high absorptivity in infrared spectrum. Thin-film processing by the continuous wave (CW) laser is difficult since polymers are deformed and damaged by the residual heat. We developed the new method to make polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS) sheets thin. The sheets are pressed to a Cu base by extracting air between the sheets and the base during laser processing. It realizes to cut the sheets to around 50 µm thick with less heat effects on the backside which are inevitable for thermal processing using the CW laser. It is considered that the boundary between the sheets and the base is in thermal equilibrium and the base prevents the sheets from deforming to support the backside. The method is applicable to practical use since it does not need any complex controls and is easy to install to an existing equipment with a minor change of the stage.

The present work studies the optical nonlinearity exhibited by the material (for Continuous Wave (CW) laser or long pulse) due to the change in thermal properties of the material on illumination. Thermal lens (TL) technique has been used to measure the refractive index change due to the formation of TL along with other thermo-optic properties of the material in solution. A CW Ar-ion laser has been used as light source and the laser beam was chopped at 25[Formula: see text]Hz frequency to obtain 12[Formula: see text]ms pulse to observe the formation of the TL within the sample. The [Formula: see text] value have been calculated by the TL technique for Benzene, Toluene and Dimethylaniline (DMA) in toluene and Benzene. The [Formula: see text] value is found to be in the order of 10[Formula: see text] to 10[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]cm2[Formula: see text]W[Formula: see text].

Acoustic Phonons

AbstractMulti-gigahertz mechanical vibrations that stem from interactions between light fields and matter—known as acoustic phonons—have long been a subject of research. In recent years, specially designed functional devices have been developed to enhance the strength of the light-matter interactions because excitation of acoustic phonons using a continuous-wave laser alone is insufficient. However, the strength of the interaction cannot be controlled appropriately or instantly using these structurally-dependent enhancements. Here we show a technique to control the effective interaction strength that does not operate via the material structure in the spatial domain; instead, the method operates through the structure of the light in the time domain. The effective excitation and coherent control of acoustic phonons in a single-mode fiber using an optical frequency comb that is performed by tailoring the optical pulse train. This work represents an important step towards comb-matter interactions.

Detection And Localization

This paper demonstrates the feasibility of detection and localization of multiple stationary human targets based on cross-correlation of the dual-station stepped-frequency continuous-wave (SFCW) radars. Firstly, a cross-correlation operation is performed on the preprocessed pulse signals of two SFCW radars at different locations to obtain the correlation coefficient matrix. Then, the constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection is applied to extract the ranges between each target and the two radars, respectively, from the correlation matrix. Finally, the locations of human targets is calculated with the triangulation localization algorithm. This cross-correlation operation mainly brings about two advantages. On the one hand, the cross-correlation explores the correlation feature of target respiratory signals, which can effectively detect all targets with different signal intensities, avoiding the missed detection of weak targets. On the other hand, the pairing of two ranges between each target and two radars is implemented simultaneously with the cross-correlation. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of this algorithm.

AbstractFrom the prevention of natural disasters such as landslide and avalanches, to the enhancement of energy efficiencies in chemical and civil engineering industries, understanding the collective dynamics of granular materials is a fundamental question that are closely related to our daily lives. Using a recently developed multi-static radar system operating at 10 GHz (X-band), we explore the possibility of tracking a projectile moving inside a granular medium, focusing on possible sources of uncertainties in the detection and reconstruction processes. On the one hand, particle tracking with continuous-wave radar provides an extremely high temporal resolution. On the other hand, there are still challenges in obtaining tracer trajectories accurately. We show that some of the challenges can be resolved through a correction of the IQ mismatch in the raw signals obtained. Consequently, the tracer trajectories can be obtained with sub-millimeter spatial resolution. Such an advance can not only shed light on radar particle tracking, but also on a wide range of scenarios where issues relevant to IQ mismatch arise.
