用于空间激光通信的InGaAsP 激光二极管辐射损伤研究(英文)

对1:55 μm波长DFB 结构的InGaAsP 多量子阱激光二极管开展电子和60Co- 射线辐照试验。试验结果表明,激光二极管的斜度效率主要受带电粒子沉积的电离总剂量影响,而阈值电流和光功率主要受位移损伤剂量的影响。利用位移损伤剂量方法评价激光二极管的辐射损伤特征,并且预测其在空间辐射环境中的光功率衰退情况。模拟计算结果表明,MEO轨道辐射环境对激光二极管光功率辐射损伤远大于GEO轨道的影响,这主要是由于MEO轨道辐射环境的高能电子通量密度远大于GEO轨道的通量密度。The 1.55 μm InGaAsP multi-quantum-well laser diodes with distributed feedback structures were irradiated by electrons and 60Co- rays. The experimental results show the slope efficiency of laser diode is mostly affected by the total ionizing dose produced by charging particles, and the threshold current and the optical power mainly by displacement damage dose. The displacement damage dose methodology was employed to evaluate radiation damage of the laser diodes, and to predict the power degradations of these diodes in space. The calculated results indicate that the optical powers of the diodes will have more serious degradation for medium Earth orbit than for geosynchronous Earth orbit,due to higher fluence density of high energy electrons in GEO orbits.     

Evaluation and prediction of the degradation of space Si solar cells induced by a low-earth-orbit radiation environment

Space-graded silicon solar cells are evaluated by 1 MeV and 2 MeV electron-irradiation. The mean degradation of the maximum power (P_max) is presented and analyzed. The degradation at both electron energies has been correlated with the displacement damage dose (D_d). A good linearity between the electron D_d and the mean P_max degradation is obtained. The concept of D_d has also been used to predict the Si solar cell response in a low-earth-orbit (Altitude 799 km, Inclination 99^o) radiation environment, considering the shielded effect of a 120 μ m-thick silica coverglass on reducing the radiation. Compared with the on-orbit data from a Si solar array of a Chinese satellite (duration from April 2007 to July 2010), a good match can be found between the on-orbit data and the predicted results using D_d methodology, indicating the method is appropriate for evaluating the radiation damage of the solar cells, and also to provide a new technique for studying radiation effects on the optoelectronic detectors used in many high energy physics applications, where harsh radiation environments produce damage in optoelectronic device materials.     

Effects of electron radiation on shielded space and triple-junction GaAs solar cells

The displacement damage dose methodology for analysing and modelling the performance of triple-junction InGaP₂/GaAs/Ge solar cells in an electron radiation environment is presented. Degradations at different electron energies are correlated with displacement damage dose (D_\rm d). One particular electron radiation environment, relative to a geosynchronous earth orbit (GEO), is chosen to calculate the total D_\rm d behind the different thicknesses coverglasses to predict the performance degradation at the end of the 15-year mission.     

嫦娥一号卫星太阳风离子探测器数据分析

探月航天器与月球周围等离子体环境相互作用,表面将出现充放电效应,给航天器带来很多不利影响.表面充电电位对充放电的影响至关重要.评估探月航天器的充放电效应,首先需获得月球周围等离子体环境数据.嫦娥一号上搭载的两台太阳风离子探测器SWIDA/B是用来观测月球200 km轨道附近等离子体环境的探测仪器,获得了月球附近的太阳风速度、密度和温度.本文对2008年6月一个月内太阳风离子探测器SWIDA机获得的离子微分通量进行统计平均,得到太阳风离子微分通量能谱,并计算得到了月球200 km附近的太阳风速度(300.00—600.00 km·s-1)、密度(1—10 cm-3)和温度(1—20 eV).最后采用等效电路模型的方法计算得到了探月航天器表面充电电位范围为-7—-70 V.     

基于光探测器空间辐射效应的卫星光通信系统误码率特性

通过对空间辐射环境中PIN光探测器损伤机理的分析,得到了光电流与暗电流在辐照条件下的变化规律.在此基础上,建立了基于PIN光探测器空间辐射效应的卫星光通信系统误码率模型.仿真得出,辐照强度约为5×104 Gy和8×104 Gy时,50MeV质子和10MeV质子辐照条件下的系统误码率先后达到10-6;在5×105 Gy~6×105 Gy范围内,电子与Gamma射线辐照下的误码率亦达到10-6.结合系统误码率的损伤机理,进一步研究了判决阈值对误码率的影响.结果表明,辐照强度为1MGy时,判决阈值由4.3×10-7 A上升至5.5×10-7 A,能够使误码率降低近3个量级.因此,适当选取判决阈值能够有效的改善系统误码率情况.     

110keV质子辐照温控涂层性能变化的XPS分析

实验研究了注量在1.0×10¹¹—1.0×10¹⁶p/cm²范围依次变化时110keV质子辐照引起的温控涂层热光性能的变化,并使用XPS谱仪分析了辐照样品化学态的变化. 实验结果表明,质子注量不高于1.0×10¹⁴p/cm²时,同种材料的温控涂层样品的相对光反射率变化很小,同时同种材料样品的表面化学结构如化学位移和元素的比例变化很小.当注量高于1.0×10¹⁴p/cm²时, 样品的相对光反射率变化明显,样品表面的原子化学结构变化大, 化学位移明显增加, 元素比例变化显著,所有样品表面的C元素比例明显增大而O元素比例明显减小.一定注量的低能质子辐照能够使某些低太阳吸收率α_s的温控涂层的太阳吸收率变得更低, 具有改善热光性能的效果.质子辐照之后温控涂层样品表面化学结构的变化与样品的物理性能的变化存在直接的关联.     

110keV质子辐照对温控涂层性质的影响

实验研究了1.0×10¹¹—1.0×10¹⁷p/cm²通量范围内110keV质子辐照引起的温控涂层热光性能的变化. 实验表明, 在1.0×10¹¹p/cm²通量辐照下6种温控涂层材料的相对光反射率基本没有变化,当辐射通量在1.0×10¹²—1.0×10¹⁶p/cm²范围变化时,某些低吸收率的温控涂层的太阳吸收率随着辐射通量增加先变小而后又增大.这一特性对于制备更低太阳吸收率的温控涂层具有应用价值.     

La掺杂对用于空间激光通信的掺铒光纤辐射损伤效应的影响

为验证La掺杂对于掺铒光纤抗辐照性能的影响，采用La掺杂光纤与无La掺杂光纤进行光纤辐照实验。使用⁶⁰Co辐照源在常温下对光纤进行累积剂量100 krad，剂量率6.17 rad/s的辐照实验。结果发现，La掺杂光纤在1 200 nm处损耗为0.030 67 dB(km·krad)，相比于无La掺杂光纤0.039 53 dB(km·krad)更低，且La掺杂光纤在辐照环境下的增益变化更小。通过光纤吸收谱和EPR谱辐照前后的对比，确定了Al-OHC缺陷为影响光纤辐致损耗的关键因素。La掺杂可以在一定程度上代替Al作为Er离子的分散剂从而增强光纤的抗辐照能力，且La掺杂对光纤的增益性能不会产生负面影响。该研究可为后续特种光纤在空间应用中的抗辐射加固设计提供参考。
