Narrow-bandpass filters with broad rejection band for single-mode waveguides

Fabry-Perot bandpass filters made of mirrors with both high- and low-Dn (refractive-index modulation) have simultaneously a broad rejection band and a narrow passband. The higher Dn's are obtained with multilayer mirrors and the lower with Bragg gratings (BG's). Implementation of a sampling calculation technique based on the characteristic matrix formalism used for interference coatings allows for simulation of hybrid filters constructed from multilayer mirrors and BG's. The possible defects of hybrid filters are extensively analyzed. Bandpass filters made purely of both high- and low-Dn BG's are also simulated. All these filters are useful for wavelength division multiplexing applications.     

Noninvasive determination of the optical properties of two-layered turbid media

Light propagation in two-layered turbid media having an infinitely thick second layer is investigated in the steady-state, frequency, and time domains. A solution of the diffusion approximation to the transport equation is derived by employing the extrapolated boundary condition. We compare the reflectance calculated from this solution with that computed with Monte Carlo simulations and show good agreement. To investigate if it is possible to determine the optical coefficients of the two layers and the thickness of the first layer, the solution of the diffusion equation is fitted to reflectance data obtained from both the diffusion equation and the Monte Carlo simulations. Although it is found that it is, in principle, possible to derive the optical coefficients of the two layers and the thickness of the first layer, we concentrate on the determination of the optical coefficients, knowing the thickness of the first layer. In the frequency domain, for example, it is shown that it is sufficient to make relative measurements of the phase and the steady-state reflectance at three distances from the illumination point to obtain useful estimates of the optical coefficients. Measurements of the absolute steady-state spatially resolved reflectance performed on two-layered solid phantoms confirm the theoretical results.

结晶器摩擦力对连铸顺行非常重要,而钢液流动行为会影响铸坯温度场和保护渣分布,可能对铸坯摩擦力产生一定的影响.利用Fluent软件建立结晶器内钢液流动、传热三维数学模型,并将温度场数据导入Ansys计算铸坯应变,然后根据铸坯-保护渣-结晶器摩擦行为数学模型讨论了渣膜润滑情况,对比了不同水口底部形状下结晶器内液态、固态和总摩擦力.结果表明:不考虑水口射流时结晶器总摩擦力比考虑水口时增大约29.4％;浸入式水口底部形状分别为凸底、平底和凹底3种情况下铸坯窄面中心温度依次降低,凝固壳厚度依次增大,固态摩擦力依次增大,总摩擦力依次增大,液态摩擦力相差较小.     

KMnO4��ȼ��¯�紵ú�۵Ļ���

KMnO4 is a kind of pulverized coal combustion improver which is suited for the blast furnace. Mn7+(CO-)7 weakened bridge adhesion of carbon structural units and changed lattice structures, activation energy of pulverized coal was lowered and burn rate was accelerated. The unburned coal, which was investigated by the method of XRD and SEM, was collected through simulating combustion conditions of blast furnace. The results show that: microcrystalline parameters of unburned coal is increased, height and diameter of aromatic slices will increase 0??0013 and 0??0366nm respectively as KMnO4 joined; particles size of unburned coal powder can be reduced 2??62??m by adding KMnO4.     

Analytical far-field divergence angle of a truncated gaussian beam

Approximate, but accurate, analytical expressions for the far-field divergence angle of a Gaussian beam normally incident on a circular aperture are derived. A first equation is obtained based on the concept of Gaussian transform, in which the Bessel function present in the far-field diffraction integral is approximated by a Gaussian function. Refining this approach yields another simple, practical closed-form formula with such a level of accuracy that we propose that it can be used as an exact reference. All approximations hold for any combination of Gaussian beam width and aperture radius.     

CeO2催化强化高炉喷吹煤粉燃烧机制

为了研究稀土氧化物CeO2对高炉喷吹煤粉的助燃机制,以某炼铁厂高炉喷吹煤粉为原料,利用煤粉燃烧炉进行煤粉燃烧试验并收集未燃煤粉,通过热重-差热法分析CeO2对喷吹煤粉的助燃机制,结合XRD和SEM检测分析未燃煤粉.结果表明:助燃剂CeO2对喷吹煤粉的助燃效果显著,其添加比例控制在1.5％(质量分数)左右比较适宜;CeO2在煤粉固定碳表面上形成络合盐Ce4+(CO-)4,减弱了两相反应物间的势能垒,促使挥发分的开始燃烧放热温度降低,固定碳燃烧温度区间变窄;随着CeO2的加入,Ce4+ (CO)4成倍增长,在XRD图谱中表现为未燃煤粉的微晶尺寸逐渐增大;在CeO2的作用下未燃煤粉颗粒的平均粒径与原煤未燃煤粉颗粒的平均粒径相比减小了3.48 μm,表面出现大量孔洞结构.     

Substrate effects on absorption of coated surfaces

Photothermal deflection is used for mapping the absorption of bare and coated surfaces. The same area is mapped before and after coating and also after annealing. The great importance of the substrate with respect to the total losses of the coated component is emphasized. First the influence of surface contamination of the bare substrate on the total absorption of the coated substrate is studied for BK7 and fused-silica substrates. Then the mean value of the coated-substrate absorptance is shown to be strongly dependenton the type of substrate. Experimental results show that this effect is associated with a localization of the absorption at the near surface of the substrate and at the interfaces of the film.     

Impact and vibration detection in composite materials by using intermodal interference in multimode optical fibers

An optical fiber sensor based on the intermodal interference principle is integrated in a composite material to detect impacts and vibrations. Six fibers are integrated at the top of a carbon/epoxy composite panel so as to form a grid into the structure. Spectral and temporal responses to impacts and acoustic vibrations of the sensor are compared with a piezoelectric accelerometer. The tests proved the facility of integration and the high sensitivity of the device. The location of impacts is performed with this arrangement by measuring the arrival times of the front waves to the fibers.
