Mechanism study on the effects of power modulation on energy coupling efficiency in infrared laser welding of highly-reflective materials
摘要： High-reflectivity of materials, such as magnesium, copper and aluminum, results in low thermal efficiency of their infrared laser welding processes. AZ31 magnesium alloy was selected to study the effects of power modulation on energy coupling efficiency in laser welding of highly-reflective materials. A model for the relationship between energy coupling efficiency and modulation parameters was obtained. The energy coupling efficiency in optimized modulated-power laser welding was about 1.58 times that in constant-power welding. The mechanism was explored by analyzing keyhole evolution and the resulted pressure distribution along keyhole wall during welding. The keyhole evolutions in laser continuous welding of common material (Q345 steel, reflectivity of 65%) and highly-reflective material (AZ31, reflectivity of 85%) were observed through high-speed imaging by utilizing a half sandwich method. The results indicated that the secret of improving energy coupling efficiency of laser welding process of highly-reflective materials through power modulation was the formation of a deep keyhole and its long life. When instantaneous power decreased from the peak, there was still enough recoil pressure at the bottom of keyhole to resist surface tension and hydrostatic pressure of liquid metal, which was the fundamental reason for the long time existence of keyhole with a large depth.

Carboxyl graphene oxide solution saturable absorber for femtosecond mode-locked erbium-doped fiber laser
摘要： The carboxyl-functionalized graphene oxide (GO-COOH) is a kind of unique two-dimensional (2D) material and possesses excellent nonlinear saturable absorption property and high water-solubility. In this paper, we prepare saturable absorber (SA) device by depositing GO-COOH nanosheets aqueous solution on a D-shaped ?ber. The modulation depth (MD) and saturable intensity of the SA are measured to be 9.6% and 19 MW/cm2, respectively. By inserting the SA into the erbium-doped ?ber (EDF) laser, a passively mode-locked EDF laser has been achieved with the spectrum center wavelength of 1562.76 nm. The pulse duration, repetition rate, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are 500 fs, 14.79 MHz, and 80 dB, respectively. The maximum average output power is measured to be 3.85 mW. These results indicate that the GO-COOH nanosheets SA can be used as a promising mode locker for the generation of ultrashort pulses.

An All-Optical, Actively Q-Switched Fiber Laser by an Antimonene-Based Optical Modulator
摘要： Q-switched ?ber lasers are of great interest in industrial material processing, nonlinear frequency conversion, spectroscopy etc. However, passive Q-switching possesses drawbacks of degradation and failure of the saturable absorber and the di?culty in accurate modi?cation of the repetition rate. To overcome these issues, active Q-switching that can normally modulate the cavity quality-factor by an externally-driven Q-switcher is in high demand. Herein, an actively Q-switched laser with antimonene-based all-optical modulator is devised based on the high photo-thermal e?ciency (48%) and broadband response in antimonene. It is demonstrated that this actively modulated laser represents all-optically tunable output parameters (e.g., output repetition rate), environmental stability, and easy synchronization. It is anticipated that this actively antimonene-based all-optical modulator with advantages of large modulation depth, low energy consumption, and high conversion e?ciency has great potential in all-optical information processing and pulsed laser engineering.

Measuring effective electro-optic coefficient at 1040?nm by spectral intensity modulation with THz time-domain spectroscopy
摘要： We report a single method for measuring the e?ective electro-optics (EO) coe?cient only by spectral intensity modulation with a terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (THz-TDS) device. Compared with conventional methods, the measuring device based on THz-TDS by probing the spectral intensity modulation is simple, rapid, and highly sensitive. It does not require special preparation process, electrode contact or applying high voltage on the sensor samples. The EO coe?cients of four kinds of materials, namely, ZnTe and GaP crystals, DAST wafer and GaSe ?lm, are measured at 1040 nm. The results showed good agreement with literature data by the conventional methods.

Graphene Heterostructure Integrated Optical Fiber Bragg Grating for Light Motion Tracking and Ultrabroadband Photodetection from 400 nm to 10.768 μm
摘要： Integrated photonics and optoelectronics devices based on graphene and related 2D materials are at the core of the future industrial revolution, facilitating compact and flexible nanophotonic devices. Tracking and detecting the motion of broadband light in millimeter to nanometer scale is an unfold science which has not been fully explored. In this work, tracking and detecting the motion of light (millimeter precision) is first demonstrated by integrating graphene with an optical fiber Bragg grating device (graphene-FBG). When the incident light moves toward and away from the graphene-FBG device, the Bragg wavelength red-shifts and blue-shifts, indicating its light motion tracking ability. Such light tracking capability can be further extended to an ultrabroad wavelength range as all-optical photodetectors show the robust response from 400 nm to 10.768 μm with a linear optical response. Interestingly, it is found that graphene-Bi2Te3 heterostructure on FBG shows 87% higher photoresponse than graphene-FBG at both visible and telecom wavelengths, due to stronger phonon-electron coupling and photo-thermal conversion in the heterostructure. The device also shows superior stability even after 100 d. This work may open up amazing integrated nanophotonics applications such as astrophysics, optical communication, optical computing, optical logic gating, spectroscopy, and laser biology.

Tailoring Properties of Microcavity In-line Mach-Zehnder Interferometer by the Microcavity Enlargement using Femtosecond Laser
摘要： This work presents a theoretical analysis and experimental verification of fine-tuning of the spectral response and refractive index (RI) sensitivity of microcavity in-line Mach-Zehnder interferometer (μIMZI). The μIMZIs were fabricated using femtosecond (fs) laser micromachining in standard single-mode fibers as circular cavities with a diameter of 60 μm. Next, the structures underwent fs laser post-processing, which included fabrication of an additional cavity with the same diameter but shifted by 15 μm or 30 μm against the center of the initial microcavity. Different depths of the additional structures were investigated. The enlargement of the microcavity allows for tailoring the spectral response, i.e., it shifts the interference pattern by more than 200 nm, with no introduction of any additional losses and distortions in the spectrum. As the additional effect, regardless of the size of the extension, the sensitivity of the enlarged μIMZI was improved by 32%.

Opposite Self-Folding Behavior of Polymeric Photoresponsive Actuators Enabled by a Molecular Approach
摘要： The ability to obtain 3D polymeric objects by a 2D-to-3D shape-shifting method is very appealing for polymer integration with different materials, from metals in electronic devices to cells in biological studies. Such functional reshaping can be achieved through self-folding driven by a strain pattern designed into the molecular network. Among polymeric materials, liquid crystalline networks (LCNs) present an anisotropic molecular structure that can be exploited to tailor internal strain, resulting in a natural non-planar geometry when prepared in the form of flat films. In this article, we analyze the influence of different molecular parameters of the monomers on the spontaneous shape of the polymeric films and their deformation under different stimuli, such as heating or light irradiation. Modifying the alkilic chains of the crosslinkers is a simple and highly effective way to increase the temperature sensitivity of the final actuator, while modifying ester orientation on the aromatic core interestingly acts on the bending direction. Combining such effects, we have demonstrated that LCN stripes made of different monomeric mixtures originate complex non-symmetric deformation under light activation, thus opening up new applications in photonic and robotics.

Functionalized and oxidized silicon nanosheets: Customized design for enhanced sensitivity towards relative humidity
摘要： The use of completely oxidized two-dimensional (2D) silicon nanosheets (SiNSs) represents a novel approach for the application of 2D silicon-based materials in the nanoelectronics field. Densely stacked and highly porous oxidized SiNSs (OSiNSs) act as a sensitive layer for humidity detection. Due to the oxidation-caused porosity of the SiNSs and the possibility functionalize the 2D surface with hydrophilic groups, this hybrid material exhibits an extremely good sensitivity towards relative humidity (RH). In this work, precise tuning of the SiNSs’ sensing properties by their functionalization is demonstrated. In particular, the modification with methacrylic acid (MAA) groups, leading to SiNS-MAA, and the subsequent deposition on interdigitated electrodes double the capacitance value in the range of 20-85%RH. These values were achieved after the full oxidation of SiNS-MAA in ambient conditions. The mentioned changes in capacitance are extremely high compared to the response of the so far known common polymer humidity sensors. Contrary to that, this response is neutralized when the SiNSs are functionalized with tert-butyl acrylic acid (tBMA), a rather hydrophobic functional group. The fabricated devices show, how the specific functionalization of SiNSs serves as a reliable tool to provide sensitivity towards RH. Similar approach, based on tuning the functionality, can be applied to achieve e.g., sensor array selectivity. For this purpose, the functional groups on the surface of the nanomaterial can be further modified. Additional molecules with sensitivities towards various surrounding conditions could be attached. Furthermore, these functional molecules can be used for subsequent (bio)molecule immobilization, which can serve as sensitive molecular groups towards surrounding substrates and gases. However, one of the main challenges in sensor technology is to find a highly selective solution: a sensor system capable to differentiate among different vapor species. The described strategy can serve as an access towards new and promising solutions, which can help to face this issue in modern nanomaterials-based technology.

Eu-doped layered yttrium hydroxides sensitized by series of benzenedicarboxylate and sulphobenzoate anions
摘要： A number of Eu-doped layered yttrium hydroxides intercalated with various benzenedicarboxylate (phthalate, isophthalate and terephthalate) and sulphobenzoate (2-, 3- and 4-sulphobenzoate) anions was obtained using hydrothermal microwave (HTMW) treatment. For the first time, phthalate, isophthalate and sulphobenzoate anions were intercalated into layered rare-earth hydroxides (LRHs). Two approaches to the synthesis of intercalated layered yttrium hydroxides were used: ion exchange reactions and homogeneous hydrolysis of rare-earth cations in the presence of the intercalated anion. Ion-exchange reactions between layered rare-earth hydroxides and a series of benzenedicarboxylic and sulphobenzoic acid salts were performed under conditions of HTMW treatment, which significantly increased the rate of intercalation. The structure of the first representative of layered rare-earth hydroxides intercalated with sulphobenzoate-type anions, namely layered yttrium hydroxide intercalated with 4-sulphobenzoate of composition Y3(OH)7(C7H4O5S)·H2O, was solved. Intercalation of benzenedicarboxylate and sulphobenzoate anions into Eu-doped layered yttrium hydroxides led to a substantial sensitization of Eu3+ luminescence. The local symmetry of Eu3+ was greatly decreased by intercalation of benzenedicarboxylate and sulphobenzoate anions.

Laser markability of PVC coated automotive electric cables
摘要： This article describes the test results for laser markability of automotive electrical cables. The insulation is PVC, but the colour and construction of the insulations are different. Two types of laser workstations were used, one with a wavelength of 1064 nm and another with 532 nm. The penetration depth of the laser beam was determined by optical microscopy on cross sections. The 1064 nm laser beam can mark all investigated materials with good contrast, except the yellow insulation. The 532 nm laser beam with fast speed can hardly produce contrast with any of the materials. The laser markability of the yellow insulation was found to be the most problematic. On the two-layer insulation, despite the whitening of the inner material, dark marking is produced because the heat developing on the interface of the two layers will heat up and carbonize the transparent layer.
