The development of self-frequency doubling lasers has been significantly limited owing to the thermal effect. To reduce the thermal effect of lasers and obtain higher beam quality yellow laser output, a Yb∶YCOB self-frequency doubling crystal yellow laser pumped by a 1020-nm laser is proposed. The influence of the thermal lens effect, because of the self-frequency doubling crystal-absorbing pump light energy, on the phase matching condition during the process of optical frequency doubling is explained on the basis of a theoretical analysis. Furthermore, the analysis also yields an explanation for the improvement in the quality of the 1020-nm single-band pumping mode beam, as compared with that of the traditional 976-nm laser diode pumping mode. A 570-nm yellow laser with higher beam quality is obtained through experiments. The beam quality factors correspond to Mx2=1.41 and My2=1.87. The results indicate that the quality of the outgoing beam at a wavelength of 1020 nm is significantly higher than that at 976 nm, and the spectrum width is narrower. The results of the study play a guiding role in reducing the thermal effect of Yb∶YCOB self-frequency doubling lasers and obtaining high-power yellow lasers with higher beam quality and narrower spectrum width.

To minimize the heat-affected zone (HAZ) width in laser-cut carbon fiber composites, the Box-Behnken experimental design was employed using the response surface method to establish a regression equation for the HAZ width at the laser entrance. The effects of laser power, scanning speed, auxiliary gas pressure, focus position, and their interactions on the response surface were investigated. The process parameters were optimized based on the regression equation and actual cutting results. The experimental results show that the laser power, scanning speed, focus position, and auxiliary gas pressure are the most important factors affecting the HAZ width at the laser inlet. The optimal process parameters are a laser power of 170 W, a scanning speed of 1.5 m/min, an auxiliary gas pressure of 0.6 MPa, and a focus on the upper surface of the specimen. The experimental results show that the HAZ width at the laser inlet was 486.13 μm, with an average error of 5.3% for the regression equation.

In this study, we developed a numerical model of the coaxial nozzle and powder transport process. Using numerical simulation we examined the effect of different processing parameters on powder convergence in the coaxial nozzle under both vertical and inclined conditions. Our results indicate that an increase in carrier gas velocity leads to a decrease in powder concentration at the powder focusing location, while the velocity of the shielding gas has little effect on the powder concentration. When the carrier gas velocity is 8 L/min, the shielding gas velocity is 20 L/min, and the powder feeding rate is 15.8 g/min, the use of the coaxial nozzle in an inclined position increases the focusing height of the powder from 19 mm to 21 mm and the focus diameter from 3.7 mm to 4.2 mm, compared to that in a vertical position. However, the uniformity of the powder distribution is much better when the coaxial nozzle is used vertically. Our numerical simulation results are consistent with the experimental results and can accurately reflect the powder transportation characteristics under different powder delivery methods.

Compositionally graded samples were fabricated from pure Fe to Fe20Cr (mass fraction, %) through laser powder bed fusion and in-situ alloying using a blend of Fe and Cr elemental powders as feedstock. The compositional homogeneity, phase structure, microstructure morphology, and microhardness of the component area with different Cr contents were investigated. The results revealed that the gradient composition sample was well alloyed, and the maximum average deviation of all the composition gradients was 0.35%. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the composition gradients had a body-centered cubic structure. The microstructure of pure Fe consisted equiaxed grains, and with the increase of Cr content, the transformation from equiaxed to columnar grains occurred between Fe10Cr and Fe12Cr. Furthermore, the grain-boundary strengthening effect of equiaxed grains can effectively enhance the microhardness of the samples, with Fe10Cr having the highest microhardness among all composition gradients at 181 HV0.5.

Finally, we forecast the future development of mechanoluminescent optical fibers.

We propose a tunable terahertz broadband absorber based on circular and L-shaped couplings. Its main structure is composed of an electrically tunable graphene material at the top, a dielectric material SiO2 in the middle, and gold at the bottom. The absorption spectra of this device are studied using the COMSOL software and the multiple reflection interference theory. The results show that the simulated and theoretical absorption spectra significantly overlap. On the premise of keeping the slit, changing the shape of the central graphene will not change the performance of the absorber. When the Fermi energy level of graphene is regulated to 0.95 eV by an applied voltage, the device is polarization independent and exhibits a strong absorption of more than 90% with a spectral width of more than 4.1 THz. This study will therefore have potential applications in optical switching, modulators, and energy harvesting, and it will provide further inspiration for the design of terahertz broadband absorbers.

The extremely low Ta and Nb content in tantalum-niobium ores affects the sensitivity of conventional laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) techniques. Although the double-pulse LIBS technique offers a significantly improved analytical sensitivity, it suffers from a high equipment cost. Therefore, a double-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (DP-LIBS) technique based on a single laser beam splitting configuration is proposed for the high-sensitivity detection of Ta and Nb elements in tantalum-niobium ores. A quantitative LIBS analysis model is developed based on the optimization of experimental parameters such as the distance from the focal point, acquisition delay, and laser energy. The results show that the proposed DP-LIBS system enhances the intensity of the characteristic spectral lines of the Ta and Nb elements by 3-4 times compared with single-pulse LIBS, and increases the detection sensitivity by approximately 2 times, where the detection limits of the Ta and Nb elements are 195.91 μg·g-1 and 81.79 μg·g-1, respectively. Therefore, the proposed technique is a promising method for the rapid and highly-sensitive quantitative analysis of trace elements of Ta and Nb in tantalum-niobium ores.
