    The thermal damage of mouse skin under different output power of 1064 nm laser was studied by experiment and theoretical analysis. The degree of thermal injury of mouse skin tissue was evaluated by dermoscope and optical coherence tomography (OCT), and the theoretical analysis was made according to Arrhenius thermal damage equation, and the results were compared with the experimental results. The results show that when the laser’s continuous irradiation time is 400 ms and the laser output power density is less than 958 W/cm2, there is no obvious damage; when the laser output power density is 958-1160 W/cm2, the damage is white blister-like; when the laser output power density is 1160-1370 W/cm2, the damage is a shallow pit-like macula with a circle of bulging white skin blisters around the damage spot; when the laser power density is at 1370-2190 W/cm2, the damage is a red pit-like spot, and there is black-yellow eschar around the injury spot.

    High efficiency and high average power nanosecond pulsed solid state lasers are playing an increasingly important role in photoelectric countermeasures, lidar, material modification, laser processing and many other fields. However, at present, Yb:YAG or Nd-doped materials are adopted as gain medium in most nanosecond high average power lasers. The high saturation flux or low energy storage density of the materials lead to complex laser amplification link and large laser volume. In this paper, a disordered garnet crystal Yb:CNGG that is more suitable as a gain medium for high average power and high pulse energy lasers is studied and compared. The multi-pass gain characteristics of Yb:CNGG in the structure of active mirror are researched. The amplification process is analyzed and the multi-pass amplification model is established. The crystal parameters are optimized under certain pumping conditions to achieve better energy storage. The double-pass amplification experiment was carried out, and a gain of 1.53 was obtained at the pump power density of 15 kW/cm2. The multi-pass amplification capability of Yb:CNGG and Yb:YAG is compared. Under the same crystal parameters and pumping conditions, the pulse energy output of 2.11 J can be achieved by Yb:CNGG crystal at the incident energy of 1 mJ, which is better than the energy output of 1.41 J of Yb:YAG crystal.

    Multipactor is one of the bottlenecks for spaceborne high-power microwave components. In this work, based on 3D particle-in-cell simulation, we investigate the fluctuation of number of electrons, the instantaneous secondary electron yield, the normalized reflection wave voltage and the gap voltage between the dielectric surface and metallic plate in the evolution of multipactors with parallel-plate dielectric-loaded waveguide for three cases: just considering external microwave field (case 1), considering both external microwave field and space charge (case 2), and considering external microwave field, space charge and surface charge on the dielectric (case 3). The electron distribution and charge density on the surface of dielectric versus time for case 3 are given. Simulation results reveal the roles of space charge and surface charge on the dielectric: space charge results in the saturation state of the multipactor, while surface charge on the dielectric results in an unsustainability of the saturation, extinguishing the multipactor. The existence of surface charge on the dielectric is responsible for the special circumstances including the different decreasing rate of instantaneous secondary electron yield of dielectric and metal plate, the eye-like shape of envelope of the normalized reflective wave voltage amplitude, the gap-voltage DC-like bias, and the unsymmetrical distribution of the energy of electrons.

    High intensity radiated field construction system is a key equipment for electromagnetic irradiation effect test of various weapon systems. It can excite high intensity and evenly distributed electromagnetic field in a certain distance from the antenna. In this paper, an X-band offset Cassegrain multimode reflector antenna is designed for this system. Reflector antennas are used to obtain high gain so that the field strength in the desired region is as large as possible. The flat top narrow beam is realized by using the theory of multimode reflector, which makes the field in the desired area tend to be evenly distributed, while the field outside the area decreases rapidly. The measured results show that the gain of the proposed antenna is greater than 29.8 dB, and the 3 dB beamwidth is not less than 4.6°. In this range, the amplitude fluctuation of the pattern is less than 2 dB, and the flat top characteristic is obvious. In addition, the dual-bias reflector antenna has the advantages of small feed occlusion, low feeder loss and easy folding, which can be well applied to electromagnetic environment simulation test equipment.

    With the prosperity and progress of anti-jamming technology, traditional jamming technologies represented by barrage and deception jamming are facing challenges. Therefore, a distributed ultra-wideband (UWB) electromagnetic pulse jamming technology based on low-orbit satellites is proposed in this paper. Compared with the traditional jammers, UWB electromagnetic pulse jamming is a new type of electromagnetic attack system. Initially, the power spectrum of repetitive UWB electromagnetic pulse is derived. Furthermore, the feasibility of distributed jamming technology is evaluated, and the transmit power required for distributed jamming based on low-orbit satellites is calculated. Finally, the effect of a low noise amplifier (LNA) in the navigation receiver is investigated in the UWB electromagnetic pulse jamming experiment, and the constellation layout of the low-orbit satellite for carrying jammers at mid-low latitudes is designed by Satellite Tool Kit (STK). The experimental results show that temporary gain compression occurs in the LNA under the jamming of the UWB electromagnetic pulse. UWB single pulse with a width of 0.7 ns can suppress the navigation signal by nearly 400 ns after through the LNA, and the signal can be completely suppressed under repetitive frequency. Consequently, the distributed UWB electromagnetic pulse jamming system based on low-orbit satellites can effectively enhance the jamming effect, which has the potential to achieve full coverage of the target area.

    Continuous phase plate (CPP) is a typical phase optical element. It will form a speckle field focused by a lens. The statistical characteristics of the speckle field affect the beam smoothing result. When a lens with large number aperture is used, scalar diffraction theory is unsuitable to analyze the distribution character of the focal spot because the paraxial approximation is no longer valid. In this paper, the Richar-Wolf vector diffraction theory is employed to calculate the focal spot of CPP under the strong focusing condition. Then both the profile of the focal spot and its statistical characteristics are discussed in detail. The results show that the spot size that calculated by the vector method is larger than which calculated by scalar method due to the non-paraxial effect. According to the feature of the vector method, the z-component of the light field can be obtained. The amplitude distribution of the speckle meets the Rayleigh distribution character, and its intensity distribution meets the negative exponential distribution character. Influenced by the z-component, the intensity distribution in the vectorial resultant direction will slightly deviate from the negative exponential distribution character .

    The simulated results have shown that the direction of Cherenkov Radiation (CR) light in very thin layer can be used to measure electron beam divergence and its distribution directly. The measurement results are reliable if the parameters of devices used in the system are suited for the electron beam. This method is easy in data processing because it has no need to assume electron beam phasic space, beam divergence distribution, charge density distribution model and so on. The electron beam divergence distribution measurement system can be established by way of taking a thin enough quartz slice as the convertor and letting the electron beam incidence enter the convertor with Cherenkov radiation angle. Focus plane imaging method is required to obtain the divergence image of space distribution of electron at the same time. The beam divergence measurement technology and equipment development achieved on high current pulsed linear induction accelerator have proved that the system has the characteristics of simple structure, low difficulty and fast speed of data processing.

    Aiming at the insulation failure caused by surface flashover phenomenon in high voltage equipment, this paper summarizes the key issues such as basic characteristic measurement means, influencing factors and occurrence mechanism of surface flashover phenomenon. In this paper, the main research progress of surface flashover observation methods and their influencing factors are introduced, and the specific mechanism of surface flashover process and the role of surface charge in the process of surface flashover are discussed. Among them, the external factors, the electrode - medium interface layer factor and the vacuum - medium surface layer factor affect the surface flashover as well as the surface charge accumulation and dissipation, and the specific mechanism is different. In the mainstream mechanism of surface flashover, the SEEA theory has a complete description of the initial process of surface flashover, while the ETPR theory has a better explanation of the development process of surface flashover. In addition, surface charge provides the necessary charge for the generation of flashover along the surface, and its accumulation and dissipation play a decisive role in the development of flashover along the surface. Developing insulating materials with low secondary electron emission coefficient and high surface conductance and surface modification technology will be the key research direction in this field in the future.

The optimal combination of discharge parameters was determined by using a genetic algorithm. The results of the study show that: the root mean square error of the model is 6.95%, which satisfies the accuracy requirement through cross-validation; the deposition energy varies with multiple peaks under the synergistic effect of electrode spacing and conductivity at a certain applied voltage; the best combination of voltage, electrode spacing and conductivity is 17 kV, 2.28 mm and 0.8 mS/cm respectively, which produces the highest deposition energy.
