Abstract:
In this paper, the radiation characteristics of constant impedance TEM horn of various geometrical structures are calculated. In each calculation, peaktopeak value of axial electric field obtained from an equivalent ideal aperture is used to normalize electric fields along axial of practical antennas. The specific value is defined as feeding coefficients and then applied to determine how the radiation properties of the horns can be affected if the horn structure is adjusted. These results provide a basis to design and fabricate practical ultrawideband antenna.

Abstract:
A new structure of the coaxial vircator is proposed and studied numerically in this paper. Using the coaxial extraction structure, the beam-wave interaction and energy extraction are carried out separately. The left wall of the extraction cavity will reflect the microwave, thus provide a feedback for the beam-wave interaction; And it can also absorb the used electrons drifting in the outer space of the interaction region. When a pulse with peak voltage of 500kV is fed into the vircator, a peak instant power greater than 2.5GW is achieved by simulation at 2.175GHz; the peak period-averaged power reaches 1.2GW with an rms efficiency of 11%. The output power has high mode purity and narrow bandwidth as in a conventional coaxial viractor.

Abstract:
In this paper, coupling of electromagnetic fields generated by electrostatic discharge (ESD) spark in near area into a metallic cavity with an aperture is studied by using Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method and a numerical coupling model is established, which is based on the revised electric dipole model of electrostatic discharge spark and the discharge current analytic expression obtained by pulse function. The analysis of the calculated results shows that there is strong electrostatic induction field at the vicinity of the aperture in the cavity and the transient field coupled in the cavity can resonate the cavity with the TE-101 mode as the leading mode, but the amplitude of the resonance is very low.

Abstract:
In this paper, by using rigorous field analysis, a coupled-cavity(CC) chain filled with plasma has been analyzed. How the hybrid wave between the cavity mode and plasma mode is formed has been studied. The periodical CC chain filled with plasma demonstrates periodical TG modes with a cutoff frequency of zero. When the plasma density increase to a large scale, the cavity mode of the CC chain overlaps the TG mode, these two modes couple with each other and form the hybrid modes. In the case of hybrid modes, the "cold " bandwidth and the "warm" bandwidth expand, and the coupled impedance increases about 5 times larger than that of the vacuum. As a whole, the slow wave characteristics are improved substantially due to the formation of the hybrid mode.

Abstract:
In a lot of singleshot applications and experiments at remote locations where magnetocumulative generator provide the most practical pulse power, it is impracticable to use a capacitor bank as the initial energy source. V.V.Gdovnina et al has used a permanent magnet ring as the initial energy source to drive a magnetocumulative generator, but the energy density stored in a single permanent magnet ring is very low. In this paper,the possibility of using periodic structure permanent magnetic rings as initial energy source of magnetocumulative generator is analyzed theoretically. It is concluded that 1kJ initial energy can be provided to magnetocumulative generator by the periodic structure permanent magnetic ring whose mass is less than 30kg and the outside radius less than 60

Abstract:
By employing hydrodynamic theory, the interaction between the electron beam and the highfrequency field in the radial gap of the radial transittime oscillator is studied. By using numerical method, curves are given to illustrate the relation between the beamfield power exchange and the gap's transit angle. It shows that the cruuent density and the energy exchange will be oscillating with the transit angle increasing. The number density of beam is bigger, the energy exchange between the beam and the field is stronger. The results obtained from hydrodynamic theory are of more generality compared with those from single electron theory.

Transient Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) coupled equations are solved for onedimension approximation. Through numerical study, dependence of influence induced by SBS procession on parameters of laser and medium is investigated respectively. The ralationship between pulse duration, interaction length and the damage threshold is discussed in terms of the stress and reflectivity built in SBS procession. Find out a better configuration of parameters to restrain the damage induced by SBS procession. We can get the conclusion that temporal variation of stree field in the SBS medium with different size follows the same rule when interaction length is less than some value; a greatest interaction length which SBS medium is easy to be damaged is existent; and we also find that we can obtain

Abstract:
In this paper, the Nd:YAG laser with wavelength 1 064nm is used to study the improvement effect of damage threshold of HfO2/SiO2 coating samples. The experiment of laser conditioning effect was taken by use of N-on-1 mode, namely the irradiation energy density started from about 70% of the damage threshold, and increased 5J/cm2 energy pulse by pulse until serious damage appeared. The experiment results show that 1064nm laser irradiation can improve the damage threshold of HfO2/SiO2 coating up to 3 times. The mechanisms of laser conditioning on HfO2/SiO2 mirror are found in two forms: laser annealing and laser cleaning of coating. Laser annealing can increase the damage threshold of non-defective coating up to 3 times on the average. Laser cleaning means that coating defects such as nodul

Abstract:
Using a new cleaning technology, K9 glass substrates were cleaned, and some singlelayer films were prepared with various oxide materials on the surface of the substrates using the electron beam evaporation technique. The laser induced damage thresholds of the film were got by using Ron1 test and the experiment repeatability is good. The experiment results show that the placement duration of the substrate after cleaning should influence the homogeneity of the damage threshold of the films, but do not influence the damage thresholds itself. To improve the homogeneity of the film thresholds, films are, as soon as possible, deposited after cleaning. Threshold uniformity is also influenced by laser parameters.

Abstract:
The absorption characteristics of the composite reinforced by polyaryl amide fibers irradiated by laser beam with a wavelength of 1.06μm were investigated using two integrated spheres and photodiode system. The intensity of laser beam, surface and volumetric reflectivity, volumetric absorption coefficient, transmissivity were obtained from the experiments. Experiments results show that volumetric reflectivity increases with both material thickness and laser intensity, volumetric absorption coefficient increases with material thickness, but decreases with laser intensity. A reasonable explanation is suggested based on the results and the material properties.

Abstract:
The prepulse phenomena in the discharge process of accelerator are analyzed in this paper. The prepulse will result in forming plasma, and further affect the diode performance. To remove or reduce this effect, a crowbar tube with cold cathode was adopted in the accelerator. The results show that prepulse voltage decreased from about 150kV to 50kV after adopting crowbar tube. The output power of relativistic backwardwave oscillator increased from 50MW to 250MW under the same condition. The frequency of relativistic magnetron tended to be reasonable obviously too.

Abstract:
There are abnormally accelerated particles with very high energy during pseudospark discharge, and it has been verified by using analyses magnet field. The authors consider that it has the common reason of vortex dynamics with other abnormal acceleration at all the levels in the nature, such as quasar spiral structure and cosmic ray with extremely high energy etc., and the theory of torsion field originated from spin and angular moment is proposed to be used to reveal the mechanisms of those unexplained phenomena. The theories of collective field and weak field are insufficient for interpreting these anomalous phenomena.
