Abstract:
A beam profile diagnostic system of high current, short pulse electron based on Cerenkov radiation is introduced. Cerenkov radiation signals produced by thin quartz foil placed in the beam path are detected with streak camera. Experiments confirming Cerenkov radiation and time-resolved beam profile measurement are realized with this system on the 2MeV injector of CAEP. The resolution of the system is estimated to be about 0.74 mm and 1.75ns.

Abstract:
This paper analyses the mechanism responsible for focusing intense relativistic electron beams by the use of YBa2Cu3O7-d high-temperature superconductor lens. The transporting and focusing effects of the superconductor lens are confirmed in the experiments. The results show that the superconductor lens possesses obvious focusing effects, and makes the distribution of the electrons focused in the beam transverse-section evener.

Abstract:
A coaxial multi-gap multi-channel closing switch with stainless steel spring ring gap is designed and investigated. The switch is triggered by a pulse applied to the cylindrical electrode outside the discharging channel through parasitic capacitance coupling. The jitter of the switch is reduced by several short distance gas gaps in series, and its inductance is reduced by multi-channel discharge. The switch chamber is filled with 0.3MP a N2 gas, and its operating voltage and conducting current are about 100kV and 200kA, respectively. The experimental results indicate that the switch is of low inductance (15~30nH), low jitter (~3ns), and stable breakdown performance.

Abstract:
In developing gas filled hohlra um targets, fabrication of polyimide with thickness no more than 1m m plays an important role, and its kernel technology is synthetic polypyromellitamic acid. Th e solution viscosity is measured during the synthetic process by the method of supersonic wave. Preliminary experiments have been performed to determine the effects of reaction conditions in order to get high molecular weight in the solution. The best synthetic condition is concluded as follows: solid pyromellitic dianhydride should be added to diamine solutions, mole ratio of dianhydride and diamine should be 1.01~1.02∶1, the reaction temperature should be 0~5℃, water in solvent should be least and reaction should be stopped in suitable time.

Abstract:
A kind of new phase aberration correcting method is introduced—using a phase countervailing mirror to correct t he low-frequency phase error. This method is mainly aimed to correct the static phase aberration caused by the fishing error on the optics. With random phase screen simulating the low-frequency phase aberration of the amplifiers, and the other effect of amplifiers on the beam is neglected, a beam propagation is setup. A new concept of equivalent phase plate is introduced and the phase of the mirror, as the invert phase of the equivalent phase plate, is easy to get. Finally, simulation of the correcting course was done.

Abstract:
A spontaneous Raman imaging system which can monitor the concentrations of major species in flow field in real time has been described. The results of the low pressure O2 are presented and the lowest pressure we measure is 133Pa. This technique can be calibrated in real time by an introduction of a known amount of N2. The error is less than 8%. The measurement precision of O2(a1Δ) concentration will be improved largely when this technique is applied to monitor chemical oxygen-iodine laser singlet oxygen generator performance.

Abstract:
The effects of undulator phase errors on the Free Electron Laser small signal gain is analyzed and discussed. The gain reduction factor due to the phase error is given analytically for low-gain regimes, it shows that degradation of the gain is similar to that of the spontaneous radiation, has a simple exponential relation with square of the rms phase error, and the linear variation part of phase error induces the position shift of maxi mum gain. The result also shows that the Madey's theorem still hold in the presence of phase error. The gain reduction factor due to the phase error for high-gain regimes also can be given in a simple way.

Abstract:
A new analytic model describing photovoltaic effect in photovoltaic infrared detectors is put forward, which disposes the relation between photoelectron concentrations at the two sides of the depletion region of a p-n junction in common cases while Lu Qisheng’s analytic model does in special case. By comparison among the new model, Lu’s model and another analytic model, it is explained why the former two models, different from the latter, can explain signal saturation effect which is observed in photovoltaic infrared detectors under laser irradiation.

Abstract:
The laser output window is very important to the high power lasers. But when the power is very high the conventional output crystal window can not meet the needs of lasers. And the aerodynamic window can take the place of crystal window. This paper analyzes the current study situations and requirement for aerodynamic windows in the field of high power lasers, and then discusses the differences similarities of the laser beam quality evaluating factors' properties. According as the properties of aerodynamic windows it proposes a method of evaluating the laser beam quality of aerodynamic windows for high power lasers using Strehl ratio, at the same time using the beam factor as accessorial factor. This evaluating method is independent of the types of aerodynamic windows, and has been used in

Abstract:
A systematic in vestigation to the responses of specimens made of LY12 aluminum alloy subjected to different levels of pre-load and heated with different heating-rate is performed using a Glee ble-1500 thermal-mechanical material testing system. The near-tip metallurgra phics is also observed and analyzed. The investigation results show that both temperature and heating-rate play significant roles in the mechanical behavior o f LY12. For the same level of pre-load, an increase in heating-rate will increase both the yield and fracture temperature, and the high heating-rate induced inconsistence of local temperature accounts for the severe defect in the material and the failure of the meterial.

Abstract:
In this paper, the distributions of temperature and thermal stress in the transparent optical materials, resulting from the laser energy-absorption of a defect, were obtained analytically. When the shape of the defect is point-like, the maximum value of normal stress in y-direction locates on the boundary. With the increase of x coordinate, the stress decreases obviously. But when the shape of flaw is changed to linear, the normal stress in y-direction is minimum at the boundary and is singular at two ends of the linear flaw. Based on a simple crack model, the relative stress intensity factor (SIF) and effects of various parameters on SIF were analyzed and discussed. The main conclusions include that SIF increase monotonously with the enlargement of the ratio between the crack length and t

But when the shape of flaw is changed to linear, the normal stress in y-direction is minimum at the boundary and is singular at two ends of the linear flaw. Based on a simple crack model, the relative stress intensity factor (SIF) and effects of various parameters on SIF were analyzed and discussed. The main conclusions include that SIF increase monotonously with the enlargement of the ratio between the crack length and t

Abstract:
Besides the conventional single-pulset rain generation, the Ti: sapphire laser system sometimes produces two or even more pulses should proper conditions be satisfied. By treating the pulse propagati on within the laser gain medium with the help of split-step Fourier method, independently taking into account of the dispersion originating from the prism sequence, and making use of a generalized pulsewidth formula, the double-pulse formation process is numerically simulated in a self-consistent scheme. It is revealed that the condition of a tiny net negative dispersion with strong chirp is mandatory. The double-pulse generation manifests itself in a narrow range of physical parameters, thereby pose it as a metastable state.

Abstract:
Large area glow discharge plasma that is transparent and highly conductive can be used as electrodes in Pockels cell to extend the switch aperture. To investigate this technology, a glow discharging chamber with a clear aperture of 5cm×5cm was constructed, and hollow cathode, button cathode, pin cathode, bar cathode and bar anode were designed and produced. Using CCD imaging system, the discharging uniformity of different cathodes was tested with bar anode and under the different pressure pre-ionization voltage and main discharging voltage. A uniform plasma can be obtained with a hollow cathode when the pre-ionization voltage is about 700V, the pressure is about 30Pa, and the main discharging voltage is about 4kV, which can be used for the plasma electrode of Pockels cell.

Abstract:
This paper theoretically explores the non-Fourier heat conduction process initiated by a rectangular pulsed heat source in a finite slab with insulated boundaries. Green's function and finite integral transform technique are used to obtain analytical solutions for tempera ture fields in the slab. The propagation and reflection of thermal wave, the effects of heat source and slab's geometric parameter on temperature fields are discussed. It is found that temperature wave frequency at a given location in the s lab is relevant to slab's thickness and its thermal relaxation time while the amplitude of temperature wave bears a relation with heat source's distribution are a and pulse duration.

Abstract:
The article presents a new algorithm of wavefront reconstruction based on the cyclic radial shear interferomerter. The algorithm is a technique that the actual wavefront can be reconstructed directly and accurately from the distribution of phase difference which is obtained from the radial shearing pattern by Fourier transform profilometry. It can help to measure accurately the distorted wavefront of ICF in-process. An experiment is presented to test the algorithm.
