Noise in dual-frequency semiconductor and solid-state lasers / Bruit dans les lasers à semiconducteurs et les lasers à solide en régime d’émission bifréquence

De, Syamsundar 29 June 2015 (has links)
Les sources cohérentes de lumière émettant deux fréquences optiques avec une différence largement accordable dans le domaine radiofréquence et un fort degré de corrélation entre leurs fluctuations respectives peuvent être d’un grand intérêt pour de nombreuses applications telles que la photonique micro-onde, les horloges atomiques ultra stables, la physique atomique, la métrologie, etc. C’est le cas des lasers bifréquences émettant deux modes de polarisations linéaires croisées avec une différence de fréquence dans le domaine radiofréquence. Nous comparons les caractéristiques de telles sources bifréquences basées sur des lasers à semiconducteurs (VECSEL: vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser) ou des lasers à solide (notamment les solides dopés Nd3+ ou Er3+). Au-delà de la différence évidente entre les mécanismes de gain dans les lasers à semiconducteurs et dans les lasers à solide, le VECSEL bifréquence et le laser Nd:YAG bifréquence ne présentent pas la même dynamique. Le VECSEL bifréquence, comme pour un laser de classe A, a une dynamique dénuée d’oscillations de relaxation puisque la durée de vie des photons dans la cavité est beaucoup plus longue que celle de l’inversion de population. A l’opposé, le laser Nd:YAG bifréquence possède une dynamique présentant des oscillations de relaxation comme pour un laser de classe B, en vertu du fait que la durée de vie des photons dans la cavité est plus courte que celle de l’inversion de population. Dans cette thèse, nous explorons les mécanismes par lesquels cette dynamique, en plus du couplage non linéaire entre les deux modes, gouverne le bruit dans les lasers bifréquences. En particulier, nous analysons à la fois expérimentalement et théoriquement les propriétés spectrales des différents bruits (intensité, phase) ainsi que leurs corrélations dans le cas d’un VECSEL bifréquence de classe A et d’un laser Nd:YAG bifréquence de classe B. Enfin, un modèle de réponse linéaire de deux oscillateurs amortis couplés permet d’interpréter les résultats obtenus sur la corrélation entre ces différents bruits. / Coherent sources emitting two optical frequencies with a widely tunable frequency difference lying in the radio-frequency range and having a high degree of correlation between their fluctuations can be useful for numerous applications such as microwave photonics, ultra-stable atomic clocks, atom manipulation and probing, metrology, etc. Dual-frequency lasers, which emit two orthogonal linearly polarized modes with a frequency difference lying in the radio-frequency range, have huge potentials for the above mentioned applications. We compare the characteristics of such dual-frequency oscillation in lasers based on either semiconductor (VECSEL: vertical-external-cavity surface-emitting laser) or solid-state active media (mainly Nd3+, or Er3+ doped crystalline host). Apart from the obvious difference between the gain mechanisms in semiconductor and solid-state laser media, the dual-frequency VECSEL and the dual-frequency Nd:YAG laser exhibit different dynamical behaviors. The dual-frequency VECSELs exhibit relaxation oscillation free class-A dynamics as the photon lifetime inside the cavity is longer than the population inversion lifetime. On the contrary, the dual-frequency Nd:YAG lasers obey class-B dynamics linked with the fact that the photon lifetime inside the cavity is shorter than the population inversion lifetime, leading to the existence of relaxation oscillations. In this thesis, we figure out how the laser dynamics, in addition to the nonlinear coupling between the two laser modes, governs different noise phenomena in dual-frequency lasers. In particular, we demonstrate, both experimentally and theoretically, the influence of the laser dynamics and the nonlinear coupling between the two modes on the laser noise, by analyzing the spectral properties of the different noises (intensity, phase) and their correlation in a class-A dual-frequency VECSEL (vertical-external-cavity surface emitting laser) and a class-B dual-frequency Nd:YAG laser. Moreover, the noise correlation results are interpreted in terms of the linear response of two coupled damped oscillators.

Retrospektiver Vergleich der Behandlungsergebnisse konventioneller Resektionstechniken des NSCLC im Stadium Ia/Ib mit Lasersegmentresektionen unter Anwendung eines neu entwickelten 1318nm Nd:YAG-Lasers

Huscher, Stefan 20 June 2008 (has links) (PDF)
Unter den bösartigen Tumoren hat das Bronchialkarzinom wohl die dramatischste Entwicklung genommen. Die Inzidenz und Mortalität ist in den letzten 15-20 Jahren bei Männern zwar leicht rückläufig, für Frauen ist jedoch ein entgegen gesetzter Trend zu erkennen. Dies wird in erster Linie auf die veränderten Lebensgewohnheiten, wie steigender Zigarettengenuss unter den Frauen, zurückgeführt. Derzeit gibt es in Deutschland circa 20 Millionen Raucher, von denen etwa 140˙000 jährlich an den Folgen ihres Inhalationsrauchens versterben...

Utilizou-se energia de pulso de 1,0 Joule a 2,25 Joules, com incremento de 0,25 Joules com a velocidade de soldagem de (ν) taxa de repetição (Rr) fixas de 525mm/min e 39Hz respectivamente e largura temporal de 4 ms. As soldas foram realizadas com proteção gasosa de argônio. Foram realizadas análises macrográficas e micrográficas das juntas soldadas, através de secções transversais das mesmas e ensaios de microdureza Vickers e ensaio de tração. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que o controle da energia do pulso, em processo de soldagem por laser de lâminas finas é de fundamental importância para a geração de juntas soldadas livres de descontinuidades. Os parâmetros geométricos da junta soldada, tais como largura do cordão, largura de união e profundidade do cordão, aumentaram em função do aumento da energia do pulso. O processo mostrou-se muito sensível à formação de porosidade e à presença de gap entre as lâminas / This work measured experimental investigations were carried out using a pulsed neodymium: yttrium aluminum garnet laser welding to examine the influence of the pulse energy in two thin foil welding with 100 μm thickness, employed to cover sensors that work in corrosive environment of the sugar and alcohol industry,chemical petrochemistry and nourishing. The pulse energy was varied from 1,0 to 2,25 J at an increment of 0.25 J and an increment of 0.25 Joules with a welding speed and(ν) repetition rate (Rr) fixed 525mm/min and 39Hz respectively and 4 ms pulse duration. The specimens were laser-welded in an argon atmosphere. The welds were analyzed by macroscopic and microscopic observations using optical microscopy and micro hardness and tensile test. The results indicated that pulse energy control, in laser welding of thin foils, is of considerable importance for weld quality since it can generate discontinuities free weld joints. The geometric parameters of the welded joints like bead width, connection width and bead depth increased with the pulse energy increasing. The process showed very sensitive to porosity formation and gap between couple

Assemblage hétérogène cuivre-inox et TA6V-inox par les faisceaux de haute énergie : compréhension et modélisation des phénomènes physico-chimiques / Dissimilar joining of copper to stainless steel and TA6V to stainless steel by high power beams : understanding and modeling of physicochemical phenomena

Tomashchuk, Iryna 07 October 2010 (has links)
La présente étude est dédiée à la compréhension des mécanismes de malaxage intervenant lors du soudage de matériaux dissimilaires par des sources de haute énergie et en particulier sur deux couples de matériaux présentant des problèmes métallurgiques différents : • cuivre - inox (lacune de miscibilité, différence de propriétés thermophysiques),• TA6V- inox (oxydation, formation de phases intermétalliques fragilisant la soudure).Pour le premier couple de matériaux, le soudage par laser Nd:YAG continu et par faisceau d'électrons a été utilisé. L'étude des évolutions de la morphologie des soudures, de la composition et de la microstructure des zones fondues ainsi que des propriétés mécaniques a permis de proposer des hypothèses sur les mécanismes de formation du mélange hétérogène à solubilité limitée. Afin de quantifier les phénomènes physiques intervenant en soudage continu de matériaux dissimilaires, la modélisation numérique a été mise en œuvre en utilisant le logiciel FEM "Comsol Multiphysics". Une série des modèles simulant les champs de températures, les mouvements convectifs et le malaxage (diffusion, méthode level set, méthode des champs de phases) a été créée. Dans le cas du laser, la formulation pseudo-stationnaire du transfert de chaleur basée sur la géométrie du capillaire simplifiée et la convection a été couplée avec les problèmes 2D de diffusion et de malaxage des matériaux dans différents plans horizontaux. En soudage par faisceau d'électrons, la morphologie de la microstructure a nécessité une formulation temporelle. Le modèle multiphysique final en couplage complet (solution multiphysique simultanée) reproduit le processus de formation d'une structure périodique de solidification lors du soudage par faisceau d'électrons et permet d'expliquer l'aspect des structures alternées entre matériaux immiscibles ou présentant de grandes différences de propriétés thermophysiques.Le deuxième couple de matériaux présente des problèmes métallurgiques majeurs liés à la formation des phases intermétalliques rendant l'assemblage direct par fusion impossible. La composition locale devient donc l'aspect-clef de la formation d’une soudure correcte : l'introduction d’un troisième matériau (cuivre) ayant une meilleure compatibilité avec le titane est nécessaire. Pour pouvoir déterminer les fenêtres optimales des conditions opératoires, les modèles numériques, créés précédemment, ont été adaptés pour quatre procédés de l’assemblage : faisceau d'électrons, soudage lasers Nd:YAG continu et pulsé, brasage par laser avec apport de fil. L'analyse élémentaire des microstructures dans les soudures résistantes mécaniquement a permis de développer le scénario de la solidification d'une zone fondue et de comprendre l'influence de la composition aux interfaces sur la résistance mécanique des assemblages.Les modèles numériques multiphysiques créés au cours de cette étude permettent l'accès rapide à la grande quantité d'information sur le comportement de la zone fondue en fonction des paramètres de soudage en se basant sur le nombre des données de départ relativement limité et sur quelques hypothèses simplificatrices. L'approche multiphysique à la modélisation de soudage permet de reproduire la forme de la zone fondue, visualiser les écoulements du liquide et cartographier la distribution de certains éléments avec une bonne corrélation avec les résultats expérimentaux. L'ensemble des modèles permet de déterminer les conditions opératoires répondant aux critères fixes en fonction de la métallurgie d'un couple hétérogène. / The present study is dedicated to the comprehension of the mechanism of materials mixing during dissimilar welding by high power beam sources. We have been interested in joining of two couples of metallic materials which present different metallurgical problems: • copper- stainless steel (miscibility gap, important difference in physical properties);• TA6V- stainless steel (oxidation on air, formation of intermetallic phases which made the joint brittle).For the first couple of materials, continuous laser Nd:YAG welding and electron beam welding have been applied. The experimental study of morphology evolution, composition, microstructure and mechanical properties has allowed establishing the hypotheses on formation of heterogeneous mixture between the materials having limited solubility. To quantify the physical phenomena of continuous dissimilar welding, the numerical modeling has been carried out by means of FEM software package "Comsol Multiphysics". A number of models reproducing temperature field, convection movements and mixing (diffusion, level set method, phase field method) between the materials has been created. In case of continuous laser welding, the pseudo-stationary formulation of heat transfer based on simplified key-hole geometry and convection has been coupled with two-dimensional problems of diffusion and mixing in horizontal planes. The electron beam welding presenting the nonlinear development of the weld has needed employing of temporary formulation. Final model including complete coupling (simultaneous multiphysical solving) reproduces the process of development of periodic solidification structure during electron beam welding and allows explaining the mechanism of formation of altered structures between immiscible materials which have important difference in thermophysical properties.The second couple of materials presents weldability problems due to formation of brittle intermetallic phases making direct joining by fusion impossible. The local elementary composition becomes the key-aspect of successful joining: the introduction of the third material (pure copper) having better compatibility with titanium is necessary. To determine the ranges of optimal operational conditions, numerical models created previously have been adapted to the case of four joining techniques: electron beam and laser Nd:YAG (continuous and pulsed) welding and laser brazing with filler wire. Elementary analysis of microstructures of resistant welds has allowed developing the solidification scenario and understanding the influence of local composition of heterogeneous interfaces on tensile properties of the joints. The multiphysical models created during this study allow rapid access to high quantity of data on behavior of melted zone in function of welding parameters basing on relatively limited input data and several simplification hypotheses. The multiphysical approach to welding modeling allows recreating the shape of melted zone, to visualization the convection movements and providing the cartography of several elements in good correspondence with experimental results. A set of models allows determination of operational parameters respecting fixed criterions determined by metallurgy of dissimilar couple.

In general, such material has a low solvency, particularly if cured as austenitic, because the latter is characterized by low ductility and toughness in addition to sensitivity to intergranular corrosion. The laser welding of this material causes a growth of the grain to occur, however, having columnar grains with a gross granulation structure, presenting a martensite network along the grain boundary, presenting a ZAT (thermally affected zone), losing its resistance mechanical properties. This work aims to evaluate the characteristics of the weld bead, performing the analysis of the influence of the welding process using the pulsed Nd: YAG laser applied in welds of AISI 430 ferritic stainless steel sheets, 1.0 mm thick, observing the mechanical and microstructural characteristics of the welded joint. By means of the variation of the overlapping rate of the weld bead was made a top joint welding with six sample conditions, these being of fixed value of welding energy in 10 Joules, with time width in 5 ms, welding speed in 1 mm / s, with only frequency changes ranging from 1.8 to 10 Hz, thus giving rise to different overlapping rates, in which argon gas protection was obtained, with a flow rate of 15 l / min.

X70 na forma de chapas com 1,0 x 20 x 120 mm (A x L x P). Realizou-se 12 soldas em atmosfera de gás argônio com fluxo de gás de 15 l/min, diâmetro de feixe de 0,2 mm, ângulo de 90º, taxa de repetição de 9, 8, 7, 6, 5 Hz, velocidade de soldagem de 1 mm/s, profundidades de foco iguais a 0,57 mm abaixo da superfície da peça e energia do pulso (Ep) fixada em 10,0 J. A largura temporal (Lt) foi mantida em 10 ms. O aporte térmico foi variado em 90, 80, 70, 60 e 50 J/ mm. Os resultados foram analisados com base na relação entre potência, geometria do cordão de solda, corrosão, dureza Vickers e microestrutura. Para revelação dos metais de solda utilizou-se reagente Nital 5%. As medidas de geometria (largura e profundidade) dos cordões de solda foram realizadas através de imagens obtidas em câmera digital em um microscópio óptico comum. Foram realizados ensaios de microscopia em microscópio eletrônico de varredura em detector retroespalhado (BSD), afim de verificar com maior clareza as microestruturas das amostras. Para verificação da resistência mecânica foi ensaio de tração nas amostras e no metal de base sem a inserção de entalhe. Para verificação de dureza foram analisados quatro parâmetros sendo eles três linhas horizontais e uma linha vertical no centro do cordão de solda. Para verificação da corrosão foi conduzido ensaio em um potenciostato para ensaio de polarização potenciodinâmica onde foram analisadas as curvas de polarização. Os maiores valores de largura profundidade foram encontrados em maiores valores de potência e largura temporal. As microestruturas das amostras apresentaram formações de ferrita acicular, ferrita alotriomórfica e possíveis elevados teores de martensita no caso das amostras de menor aporte térmico (60 e 50 J/ mm). Todas as amostras apresentaram maior resistência mecânica do que o metal de base, visto que todas romperam no metal de base. Os coeficientes de dureza se mostraram mais elevados para amostras de menor aporte térmico. As resistência de corrosão se mantiveram próximas ao metal base e alguns casos superiores (Ap 70 J/ mm) , visto que provavelmente tenha se formado um filme passivo de óxido após processo de soldagem, resultando em maior resistência. / We carried out a study of laser welding provided "bead on plate" in micro-alloyed steel ARBL API 5L Gr. X70 in the form of plates with 1,0 x 20 x 120 mm (H x W x D). 12 welds was performed in argonic gas flow of 15 l/min, beam diameter 0,2 mm, angle of 90°, repetition rate of 9, 8, 7, 6 and 5 Hz, welding speed of 1 mm/s, gas depths focus equal to 0,57 mm below the surface of the workpiece and the pulse energy (Ep) set at 10,0 J. The time width (Lt) set at 10 ms. The heat input was varied at 90, 80, 70, 60 and 50 J/mm. The results were analyzed based on the relationship between power, weld bead geometry, corrosion, Vickers hardness, chemical analysis and microstructure. For structure revelation of the weld metals used both Nital 5%. Measures of geometry (width and depth) of the weld beads were made using images taken by digital camera on an ordinary optical microscope. Microscopy tests were carried out using a scanning electron microscope in a backscattered detector (BSD), in order to verify with greater clarity the microstructures of the samples. For verification of mechanical strength was tensile test on samples and base metal without notch insertion. For verification of hardness were analyzed four parameters being three horizontal lines and a vertical line in the center of the weld bead. To verify the corrosion, a potentiostat test was conducted for potentiodynamic polarization test where the polarization curves were analyzed. The greatest values of depth width were found in higher values of power and temporal width. The microstructures of the samples showed formations of acicular ferrite, allotriomorphic ferrite and possible high martensite contents in the case of samples with lower heat input (60 and 50 J / mm). All samples showed higher mechanical strength than the base metal, since all of them broke in the base metal. The coefficients of hardness were higher for samples with lower thermal input. The corrosion resistance remained close to the base metal and some higher cases (Ap 70 J / mm), since a passive oxide film probably formed after welding, resulting in higher strength.

Laser assisted machining of high chromium white cast-iron

Armitage, Kelly, n/a January 2006 (has links)
Laser-assisted machining has been considered as an alternative for difficult-to-machine materials such as metallic alloys and ceramics. Machining of some materials such as high chromium alloys and high strength steels is still a delicate and challenging task. Conventional machines or computer numerical control (CNC) machines and cutting tools cannot adapt easily to such materials and induce very high costs for operations of rough machining or finishing. If laser-assisted machining can be implemented successfully for such materials, it will offer several advantages over the traditional methods including longer tool life, shorter machining time and reduced overall costs. This thesis presents the results of the research conducted on laser assisted machining of hard to wear materials used in making heavy duty mineral processing equipment for the mining industry. Experimental set up using a high power Nd:YAG laser beam attached to a lathe has been developed to machine these materials using cubic boron nitride (CBN) based cutting tools. The laser beam was positioned so that it was heating a point on the surface of the workpiece directly before it passed under the cutting tool. Cutting forces were measured during laser assisted machining and were compared to those measured during conventional machining. Results from the experiments show that with the right cutting parameters and laser beam position, laser assisted machining results in a reduction in cutting forces compared to conventional machining. A mathematical thermal model was used to predict temperatures within the workpiece at depths under the laser beam spot. The model was used to determine the effect of various cutting and laser parameters on the temperature profile within the workpiece. This study shows that laser assisted machining of hard to wear materials such as high chromium white cast iron shows potential as a possible economical alternative to conventional machining methods. Further research is needed before it can be introduced in industry as an alternative to conventional machining.

Study on the Growth and Optical Properties of Large-Sized Highly-Doped Nd:YAG Crystal by Czochralski Technique

Chen, Yingwei 07 August 2012 (has links)
¡@¡@This paper mainly focuses on the discussion about how to grow a large-sized highly-doped laser crystal- Neodymium yttrium aluminum garnet( {NdxY1-x}3Al5O3; Nd:YAG). The higher concentration of Nd:YAG crystal can allow the better efficiency of the laser. Since the ion size doped with Nd3+ ( R= 1.12A ) is larger than the ion size of Y3+ (R= 1.01A ), in the lattice of YAG, it¡¦s not easy to mix the smaller Y3+ site with the larger diameter of the Nd3 + ion. Therefore, the higher concentration of the laser crystal we want to grow, the more difficult work it is. ¡@¡@This experiment works under the use of the Czochralski technique to grow the laser crystal: Nd:YAG, and explore the impacts of different crystal pulling growth conditions on the growth of Nd:YAG crystal. Through adjusting the parameters of crystal growth, the crystal growth environments and the thermal fields, I discuss how to solve the problems of the scattering, cracking and spiral growing during the crystal growth process in order to improve the quality of the crystals. ¡@¡@Finally, comparing the results of a variety of spectral analysis (X-ray diffraction, UV / Vis Spectroscopy, Raman Spectroscopy, PL Spectroscopy) on the slice samples of Nd:YAG crystal which grew by our laboratory with the literature results, we can find that the X-ray diffraction pattern, the absorption spectroscopy, the Raman spectroscopy and the Photoluminescence spectroscopy of the Nd:YAG crystals grew in this experiment are consistent with the literature.
