不同压制压力下NiFe2O4纳米固体的ESR研究

 以反滴共沉定法制备了NiFe₂O₄纳米微粉，并在不同压力下将其压制成纳成米固体，然后用XRD谱和ESR谱研究了NiFe₂O₄纳米固体结构和界百状态随压制压力的变化。实验结果表明，NiFe₂O₄纳米固体的结构在高压下没有明显的变化，但其ESR谱的共振线宽和g因子值随着压力升高均表示出先逐渐增大至最大值，然手缓慢下降的规律。这种变化可以归因于纳米固体内部界面离子间的磁相互作用在压力的下所发生和变化。这引起实验结果境示，对于NiFe₂O₄纳米固体而言，最佳的成型压力是4.5 GPa，在此压力下，NiFe₂O₄纳米粒子既可以被压制成致密的纳米固体，又能够保留下它们的纳米结构和纳米性质。     

动载下剪应力对硫化镉单晶相变影响的实验研究

 动载下剪应力对相变起始压力有无影响，长期以来一直是一个未解决的问题。Duvall和Graham建议用硫化镉（CdS）晶体来作为判断材料。本文采用前后压电石英传感器方法系统地研究了高速平面撞击下的c轴CdS单晶试样中剪应力对相变起始压力的影响。实验测得其轴向相变起始应力为σ_T=(3.25±0.1) GPa，对应的平均压力p_T=(2.29±0.07) GPa，与静高压值2.3 GPa相比在实验误差范围内很吻合，这时相应的剪应力τ_T=0.72 GPa，高达平均压力的31.5%。这一结果表明，相变机制可以假定为仅与临界平均应力或临界热力学状态有关，剪应力对相变起始压力的影响可以忽略。     

高压对复合氧化物纳米固体内部缺陷结构的影响

 详细研究了不同压力下压制的NiFe₂O₄纳米固体材料的正电子寿命谱，分析了材料内部界面上缺陷结构随压制压力的变化，并与La_0.7Sr_0.3MnO₃纳米固体的缺陷结构随压力的变化进行了比较。实验结果表明，随着压制压力的增加，NiFe₂O₄纳米固体内部界面上自由体积缺陷和微孔隙缺陷的体积均被明显地压缩了，但自由体积缺陷的压缩幅度要高得多，反映出NiFe₂O₄纳米固体界面上原子排列的有序程度在高压下逐渐增强的规律。对具有不同微结构变化特征的复合氧化物纳米固体材料，其内部的缺陷结构在高压下具有不同的变化规律，进而引起其宏观物性的不同变化。     

重水的冲击压缩性

 用二级轻气炮作为加载装置，测量了重水（D₂O）的冲击压缩线，压力范围为10~43 GPa。用轴对称式电磁感应探头测量冲击波速度，测量精度约1.2%~1.5%。用电探针测量飞片速度，其精度约0.5%。用对比法原理进行测量，标准样品材料为无氧铜。实验发现，重水的冲击波速度随粒子速度变化呈斜率不同的两段直线关系，两线连结处出现拐折。分析认为，这一现象可能由液体D₂O分子在冲击波作用下的离解过程引起。     

顽火辉石(Mg0.92,Fe0.08)SiO3的冲击相变和高压状态方程及其地球物理意义

 用阻抗匹配法和电探针技术在48~140 GPa冲击压力范围内对化学组分为(Mg_0.92, Fe_0.08)SiO₃、初始密度为3.06 g/cm³的天然顽火辉石进行了冲击压缩实验。根据本工作13发实验数据，结合McQueen等人的数据可以看出，(Mg_0.92, Fe_0.08)SiO₃顽火辉石在冲击压缩过程中，大约经历三个明显区域：低压相区，压力范围为0~40 GPa；混合相区，压力范围为40～67 GPa；高压相区，压力范围为68～140 GPa。在低压相区，D-u关系已由McQueen给出；而在高压相区（68～140 GPa），可由本实验数据得到。由叠加原理计算得到的混合物(Mg_0.92, Fe_0.08)O(Mw)+SiO₂(St)的D-u关系及p-ρ关系曲线明显偏离了实验数据的拟合曲线，从而排除了在高达140 GPa冲击压力下，钙钛矿结构的(Mg_0.92, Fe_0.08)SiO₃发生向氧化物化学分解相变的可能性。对高压相区的实验数据进行拟合，可以得到(Mg_0.92, Fe_0.08)SiO₃钙钛矿的Grüneisen参数γ。通过三阶Birch-Murnaghan有限应变状态方程，由冲击波实验数据得到了零压等熵体积模量K_0S=259.6(9) GPa及其对压力的一阶偏导数K′_0S=4.20(5)，其ρ₀=4.19 g/cm³。(Mg_0.92, Fe_0.08)SiO₃钙钛矿冲击压缩下的密度数据与PREM密度剖面吻合很好，支持钙钛矿为主要成分的下地幔模型。

A Low-Pump-Threshold Photonic Crystal Fibre Raman Laser

We investigate a photonic crystal fibre Raman laser using fibre Bragg grating pairs as cavity mirrors. The threshold pump power is up to 0.65 W by decreasing the cavity loss and using a photonic crystal fibre with high Raman gain coefficient. A maximum continuous-wave output power of 2. 7 W is obtained at the maximum incident pump power of 5.6 W. The corresponding optical conversion efficiency and the slope efficiency are about 48% and 56%, respectively.     

Thermally stable optical fibre Bragg grating wavelength reference

The inherent temperature dependence of optical fibre Bragg gratings is caused mainly by the positive thermo-optic effect of the fibre core material, and it results in an increase of Bragg wavelength with temperature. Special mounting techniques may be designed in order to compensate this thermo-optic effect by counter-acting effects: decreasing mechanical strain, as well as a decreasing effective refractive index for the guided light wave by evanescent field interaction with a liquid of negative thermo-optic effect. Because of the non-linear interaction characteristics, exact temperature compensation is obtained for a certain temperature, which depends on the design parameters. Such stabilised fibre Bragg gratings find application as wavelength references in Bragg grating sensor networks.     

Study of the behaviour of the fibre Bragg grating fabricated with cladding mode suppression fibre

One effective method for suppression of coupling from guided optical modes into cladding modes in an optical fibre Bragg grating is to use cladding mode suppression fibre. In this specially engineered fibre, the grating is written into the core and the inner cladding, both of which are photosensitive. A theory is presented in this paper to analyse the spectral characteristics of this kind of gratings. A fibre Bragg grating was experimentally fabricated with this kind of photosensitive fibre (PS-RMS-50 from StockerYale). It is shown both theoretically and experimentally that such gratings exhibit strong suppression of the coupling between core mode and cladding mode. The experimental result is in good agreement with the theoretical analysis.     

On the feasibility of optical fibre sensors for strain monitoring in thermoplastic composites under fatigue loading conditions

This study investigates the possibility of using optical fibres with Bragg gratings for measurements in thermoplastic composites under fatigue loading conditions. Two setups are considered: (i) the fibre is embedded in the composite and (ii) the grating is bonded externally. Detailed information is given on the principle of optical fibre measurements and the data acquisition for both setups. To verify the strain derived from the optical fibre, the strain is compared with extensometer measurements. A special design of the blades of the extensometer is presented, since the standard blades suffer from a loss of grip on the surface of the specimen. The material used for this study was a carbon fibre-reinforced polyphenylene sulphide.It can be concluded for both setups that the optical fibre survives over half a million loading cycles, without de-bonding of the fibre. The advantage of the external fibre over the embedded one is that it can be mounted after manufacturing of the plate, but it has a higher risk of being damaged during working conditions of the component.     

Optimisation of superimposed chirped fibre Bragg gratings for the generation of ultra-high speed optical pulse bursts

Compact superstructure fibre Bragg gratings for the generation of ultra-high speed optical pulse bursts are reported. The gratings are equivalent in response to multi-pass superimposed chirped fibre Bragg gratings (SI-CFBGs), but an arbitrary sequence of consecutive gratings can be replicated in a single fabrication step using a simple trigonometric amplitude-phase function. SI-CFBGs are fabricated in photosensitive optical fibre and the time-resolved reflection of a 10 GHz picosecond pulse train is measured via frequency-resolved optical gating and optical sub-harmonic sampling detection techniques. The experimental results are compared to the theoretically simulated grating response and good agreement is found.     

High-sensitivity temperature sensor based on Bragg grating in BDK-doped photosensitive polymer optical fiber

A single-mode polymer optical fiber (POF) with highly photosensitive core doped with benzil dimethyl ketal (BDK) is fabricated and used for writing Bragg grating through the two-beam interference method. The Bragg wavelength of the grating is about 1570 nm, while the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the reflection peak is 0.3 nm. The temperature response of POF Bragg grating is theoretically analyzed and experimentally measured in contrast to silica optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG). The result shows that the temperature character of POF Bragg grating is negative, which is opposite to the silica optical FBG. The absolute value of the temperature response of POF Bragg grating is one order of magnitude higher than that of the silica optical FBG, making POF Bragg grating appear to be very attractive for constructing temperature sensors with high resolution.     

Numerical investigation of slow solitons in Bragg gratings with a hyperbolic tangent apodization

This paper numerically and analytically investigates the formation and propagation motion of optical soliton in the Bragg grating.We choose the fibre Bragg grating with hyperbolic tangent apodization in the middle section in order to obtain slower solitons.Optical fibre soliton but not Bragg grating soliton is used as input pulse in the discussion,which is much more approximate to the light source for the practical purpose.We discuss in detail the effects of the soliton’s velocity with some parameters in the process of transmission.The results show that by choosing special parameters,one can make the soliton slow-down with a little distortion and energy decay and obtain tunable time-delay on a small scale.     

Temperature-Insensitive Chemical Sensor with Twin Bragg Gratings in an Optical Fibre

To reduce temperature sensitivity of the fibre Bragg grating （FBG） chemical sensor, a simple method is proposed by measuring the peak wavelength difference between an etched FBG and an un-etched one in an optical fibre. Thermal characteristics and chemical sensitivity of the sensor are experimentally investigated. The experimental results indicate that the etched FBG and the rest one have almost the same thermal response, and concentration changes of the surrounding chemical solutions can be detected by measuring the peak wavelength difference between them. The sensor has been used to measure the concentrations of propylene glycol solutions and sugar solutions, and it could detect 0.7% and 0.45% concentration changes for them with an optical spectrum analyser in resolution of 10pm.
