One provides a simple recipe, which is manipulating refractive of doped region of the MCPCF, to obtain the equal
amplitude distribution of the in-phase supermode for multicores photonic crystal fibers (MCPCFs). Using coupled mode theory and vector finite element method (VFEM), a 7-core PCF is analyzed in detail and the results are applied to 16-,18- and 19-core PCFs, which will find important applications in high-power MCPCF lasers and amplifiers. One shows that it is possible to construct uniformly distributed modes for the nontrivial examples of 7- 16-, 18- and 19-core PCFs. One demonstrates that an equal amplitude distribution of in-phase supermode can be achieved by manipulating refractive of doped region in cores area. This research would provide a theoretical basis for investigating equal amplitude in-phase supermode in the MCPCF.

Micro unmanned aerial vehicle, mostly powered by electricity, plays an important role in many military and civil
applications, e.g. military detection, communication relay et al. But restricted endurance ability severely limits its
applications. To solve the problem, laser wireless power transmission system is proposed. However, overall efficiency of
the system is quite low. This paper describes basic structure of laser wireless power transmission system and its working
process. The system consists of two major modules: a high power laser source transmitting energy and a photovoltaic
receiver converting optical energy into electricity. Then factors influencing efficiency of the system are analyzed. It
suggests that electro-optical efficiency of laser, atmospheric impact on laser beam and photo-electric efficiency of
photovoltaic receiver play significant role in overall efficiency of the system. Atmospheric impact on laser beam mostly
derived from refraction, absorption, scattering and turbulence effects, leads to drop in energy and quality of laser beam.
Efficiency of photovoltaic receiver is affected by photovoltaic materials. In addition, matching degree between intensity
distribution of laser beam and layout of photovoltaic receiver also obviously influence efficiency of photovoltaic receiver.
Experiment results suggest that under non-uniform laser beam illumination, efficiency of photovoltaic receiver mostly
depends on layout of photovoltaic receiver. Through optimizing the layout of photovoltaic receiver based on intensity
distribution of laser beam, output power is significantly improved. The analysis may help to take corresponding measures
to alleviate negative effects of these factors and improve performance of laser wireless power transmission system.

A tunable multi-wavelength Brillouin fiber laser with double Brillouin frequency
spacing based on a four-port circulator is experimentally demonstrated. The fiber laser
configuration formed by four-port circulator isolates the odd-order Brillouin stokes signal to
circulate within the cavity only. In addition, it also allows propagation of the incoming Brillouin
pump and even-order Stokes signals from four-port circulator to output coupler .A L-band erbiumdoped
fiber (EDF) with 1480nm pump is used to amplify Stokes signals and to get more output
channels. At the Brillouin pump power of 8dBm and the 1480 nm pump power of 200mw, 5
output channels with double Brillouin frequency spacing and tuning range of 20 nm from 1568nm
to 1588nm are achieved.

A dual-wavelength linear cavity erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser based on a fiber grating
pair is demonstrated experimentally. A circulator, a 980nm/1550nm wavelength division
multiplexing (WDM) coupler, a 1×2 coupler, a polarization controller, a 6m long erbium-doped
fiber and a fiber grating pair for wavelength interval of 0.3nm are included in the structure. A
circulator connected at two ports as reflecting mirror structure. A 980nm pump source pump an
erbium-doped fiber with a length of 6m consist of an erbium doped fiber amplifier. Through
adjusting the state of the polarization controller, the transmission characteristic of cavity is
changed. In both polarization and wavelength, the feedback from the fiber grating pair results in
the laser operating on two longitudinal modes that are separated. The birefringence induced by the
fiber grating pair is beneficial to diversify the polarization states of different wavelength in the
erbium-doped fiber. So it is enhanced the polarization hole burning effect. This polarization hole
burning effect greatly reduced the wavelength competition. Then, it was possible to achieve stable
dual-wavelength. It turns out the structure generated the stable dual-wavelength with the 0.3nm
wavelength interval and the output power is 0.13dBm in the end. The whole system have a simple
and compact structure, it can work stably and laid a foundation for microwave/millimeter wave
generator. It has a good application performance in the future for scientific research and daily life.

Structures which are similar to double wedges usually exist in a supersonic inlet. When a supersonic flow goes
through double wedges, oblique shock waves intersect and shock wave reflection appears. In an off design condition, Mach Reflection (MR), one kind of shock wave reflection, probably appears. The laser energy deposition helps decrease the Mach stem height and reduce the total pressure loss. Numerical simulation on the influence of deposition location and laser energy in reducing the Mach stem height was investigated in Mach 3.45, 5, 6, 7. Mach Reflection was achieved at different Mach number. The simulations and analysis showed that proper increase of distance between energy deposition location and Mach stem where was near by the upstream oblique shock waves would have a better effect on decreasing Mach stem height. When inflow Mach number changed, the influence of laser energy deposition became different at a variety of deposition location

In this paper, a segment of thulium-doped fiber is pumped by a 976nm laser diode.Broadband gain
at centerwavelength of 1953nm is achieved. The maximum amplified spontaneous emission
bandwidth is 8nm. Simultaneously, self- oscillation of wavelength spacing 0.073nm is
observed. The output power and self- oscillation modes increase with pump power increasing and
wavelength spacing of self-oscillation is unchanged.The relation between fiber length and output
power at pump power 400mW is analyzed. Higher output power can be abtained by selecting a
appropriate fiber length when pump power is unchanged. Through the experiment, a weak
absorption band of thulium-doped fiber near 976nm is verified. The structure can be used as
narrow linewidth broadband source near 1950nm with the characteristic of low cost, simple
structure and good stability.

A narrow-linewidth ytterbium (Yb)-doped phosphate fiber laser based on fiber Bragg grating (FBG) operating around 980 nm is reported. Two different kinds of cavity are applied to obtain the 980 nm narrow-linewidth output. One kind of the cavity consists of a 0.35 nm broadband lindwidth high-reflection FBG and the Yb-doped phosphate fiber end with 0° angle, which generates a maximum output power of 25 mW. The other kind of resonator is composed of a single mode Yb-doped phosphate fiber and a pair of FBGs. Over 10.7 mW stable continuous wave are obtained with two longitudinal modes at 980 nm. We have given a detailed analysis and discussion for the results.

Beam combining (BC) of fiber lasers based on master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) configuration has been
considered as a promising way to achieve high power laser output. In recent years, it has been demonstrated that tip-tilt phase errors impact the combining effect seriously, especially the beam quality in coherent beam combining even if all the beamlets are phase-locked. Adaptive fiber-optics collimator (AFOC) is an effective way to compensate the tip-tilt aberrations in fiber laser systems. As the piezoelectric bimorph actuators used in the AFOCs of traditional type provide very weak force (0.1~1N level), they can only actuate the naked fiber. So the application of traditional AFOCs in high power level is limited by the structure. When the output power is scaled up-to several kW, a coreless end cap is usually spliced on the output side as the end of fiber. Because of the end cap, the expansion of the beam reduces the extractable fluence and avoids fiber facet damage. Then the AFOCs that can be used in high-power situations become the direction of research and development.
In this paper, a new structure of AFOC based on flexible hinges is presented for the first time to our knowledge. It
utilizes two piezoelectric stacks actuators for X-Y displacement of the fiber end cap placed in the focal planes of the
collimating lens. Also the new type of AFOC based on flexible hinges has been developed and demonstrated
experimentally. The thrust of zero displacement of the piezoelectric stacks actuators is 330 N. The maximum tip/tilt
deviation angle of the collimated beam is 180μrad in X direction and 150 μrad in Y direction for a chosen focal length of 0.05m. The first resonance-frequency of this device is about 700 Hz and the bandwidth of this device is 500Hz. This work provides a reference for beam combing and beam pointing controlling in high power conditions.

Pumping coupler technology is one of the critical technologies for high power laser and amplifier. Side-pumping
technology can couple pumping beam into inner cladding of the double-clad fiber through the side of the fiber.
Compared to the end-pumping technology by tapered fused bundle (TFB), it has many superiorities. That the signal fiber was not disconnected guarantees high transmission efficiency, providing the possibility of transmitting a high power signal. Additionally, the pump light is coupled into the double-cladding fiber all along the coupler’s body (~5-10 cm long), which reduces the thermal effects caused by leakage of pumping light, resulting in high pump power handling capabilities. For the realization of reliable, rugged and efficient high power fiber amplifiers and fiber laser systems, a novel kind of fused side-pumping coupler based on twisting is developed. The complete simulations were carried out for the process of side-pumping. From detailed information about simulations, we found that the pump efficiencies, one of the vital parameters of pumping coupler, have a significant influence with coupling length, the numerical aperture (NA) and taper ratio of pump fiber. However, the diversification of the parameters drops the high transmission efficiency barely. Optimized the parameters in the simulations, the pump and signal coupling efficiencies are 97.3% and 99.4%, respectively. Based on theoretical analysis, the side-pumping coupler was demonstrated at the pump and signal coupling efficiencies are 91.2% and 98.4%, respectively. This fiber coupler can be implemented in almost any fiber laser or amplifier architecture.

Low-temperature sealing glass (320-380°C) can be applied to the hermetic package of optical fiber devices, without the need of metallization. This paper introduced a PbO-ZnO-B2O3-F system low-temperature glass composite which has an softening point as low as 246°C and expansion coefficient of 8.0 ppm/°C. The glass composite was sealed with quartz glass fibers at 360-390°C, then the effect of sintering temperature and holding time on the surface reaction were well investigated. Although the mismatch of expansion coefficient exists within glass fiber, negative expansion filler and parent glass, they combined well with each other after a short time heating. The F- in glass network helped to lower the sealing temperature, wet the oxide surface and promote the combination of parent glass and fibers. The sealing temperature and holding time affect the interface layer and the shape of the fiber. The optimum packaging process should be sealing composite glass and fibers beneath 380°C with shortened holding time as possible. Using glazed glass composite preforms, sealing fiber in a ferrule to achieve compressed package will be helpful to realize hermetic package for optical fiber devices.

Striation-free laser cutting of thick section stainless steel is hard to obtain due to several factors, such as nozzle standoff distance, cutting speed, focal plane position, gas pressure, thickness of metal and recast layer. It will be vital to properly combine these factors in striation-free cutting because striation formation is a complicated process. Therefore, many scholars have been studying the mechanisms of striation formation, which will be systematically summarized in this paper. Based on the review, the author holds that supersonic gas nozzle designing plays a key role in creating an ideal cutting condition. Based on the introduction of some structures of supersonic gas nozzle, this paper proposes that two objectives should be fulfilled in order to achieve striation-free cutting: One is to produce a uniform flow of assistant gas and the other is to get a stable laser cutting temperature field.

A simulation platform is set up to study the ship-borne laser communications. A liquid crystal spatial light modulator is used as a non-mechanical beam steering control device to simulate beam motions of moving platforms. Because of its light weight, low power and compact form, the liquid crystal spatial light modulator is superior to its mechanical counterparts. The theory of beam steering is introduced firstly. And then the performance of the simulation platform is researched and evaluated. The steering angles range from -2.89° to 2.89° with the control precision of ~ 0.02°. The simulated sinusoidal frequency of the spatial light modulator can reach 4 Hz in maximum. Finally, the beam motions of the ship platforms with different natural rolling periods are simulated based on the platform. The correlation coefficients between the theoretical and the simulated motion curves are greater than 0.9805. Results show that it is feasible to realize the beam motions simulation of specific moving platforms using the liquid crystal spatial light modulator.

Lasers at 2.79 μm emitted by Er:YSGG crystal have attracted considerable interest in biological and medical applications. However, due to the thermal effect of laser crystal, the output power has been limited. In this paper, the advantages of Er:YSGG/YSGG composite crystal in reducing thermal effects and achieving high output power are investigated theoretically and experimentally. The numerical results show that the temperature rising and total thermal deformation of Er:YSGG/YSGG composite crystal are evidently reduced because the undoped YSGG absorbs the heat generated from the Er:YSGG. The maximum temperature rising reduces with increasing of the length of undoped YSGG crystal, and its location moves from the pump face to the inside of the Er:YSGG. The optical path difference of the Er:YSGG/YSGG composite crystal is obviously reduced comparing with that of Er:YSGG crystal, which indicates the thermal focal length of the Er:YSGG/YSGG composite crystal is increased, and the thermal effects are reduced. In experiments, the maximum continuous wave output power of 900 mW with slope efficiency of 12.1% at wavelength of 2.79 μm is obtained in laser diode end pumped Er:YSGG/YSGG crystal. To our knowledge, the output power of Er:YSGG/YSGG crystal is the highest value for the laser diode end pumped Er:YSGG crystal. The thermal focal length of the Er:YSGG/YSGG measured in experiment is increased comparing with that of Er:YSGG. Investigations have demonstrated that the Er:YSGG/YSGG composite crystal has a great advantage in reducing the influence of thermal effects and achieving high output power.

First principles calculations based on the plane wave pseudo-potential method have been carried out to study effects of intrinsic point effects in GaAs saturable absorbers on the related electronic structures and optical properties. The defect energy levels corresponding to each kind of the intrinsic point defect and their electron occupancy are analyzed from the aspects of band structure and partial density of states (PDOS). Furthermore, the impacts on the optical properties of GaAs saturable absorbers made by the native point defects are also obtained. It can be found that the absorption edges of the GaAs with VGa defect, VAs defect or GaAs defect exhibit substantial redshifts, which is mainly attributed to the defect energy levels in the band gap, and the absorption coefficient of the GaAs crystal with VGa defect, VAs defect or GaAs defect is bigger than those with other defects in near-infrared range. The dielectric function and the refractive index of GaAs crystal with VGa defect, VAs defect or GaAs defect show redshifts in near-infrared region too. The analysis of the optical properties of GaAs crystal with intrinsic point defects will be helpful in guiding the application of the GaAs crystal as saturable absorber in solid-state laser.

To theoretically study the feasibility of antifreeze coolants applied as cooling fluids for high power LD heat sink, detailed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of liquid cooled micro-channels heat sinks is presented. The performance operated with antifreeze coolant (ethylene glycol aqueous solution) compared with pure water are numerical calculated for the heat sinks with the same micro-channels structures. The maximum thermal resistance, total pressure loss (flow resistance), thermal resistance vs. flow-rate, and pressure loss vs. flow-rate etc. characteristics are numerical calculated.
The results indicate that the type and temperature of coolants plays an important role on the performance of heat sinks. The whole thermal resistance and pressure loss of heat sinks increase significantly with antifreeze coolants compared with pure water mainly due to its relatively lower thermal conductivity and higher fluid viscosity. The thermal resistance and pressure loss are functions of the flow rate and operation temperature.
Increasing of the coolant flow rate can reduce the thermal resistance of heat sinks; meanwhile increase the pressure loss significantly. The thermal resistance tends to a limit with increasing flow rate, while the pressure loss tends to increase exponentially with increasing flow rate. Low operation temperature chiefly increases the pressure loss rather than thermal resistance due to the remarkable increasing of fluid viscosity.
The actual working point of the cooling circulation system can be determined on the basis of the pressure drop vs. flow rate curve for the micro-channel heat sink and that for the circulation system. In the same system, if the type or/and temperature of the coolant is changed, the working point is accordingly influenced, that is, working flow rate and pressure is changed simultaneously, due to which the heat sink performance is influenced. According to the numerical simulation results, if ethylene glycol aqueous solution is applied instead of pure water as the coolant under the same or a higher working temperature, the available output of optical power will decrease due to the worse heat sink performance; if applied under a lower working temperature(0 °C, -20 °C), although the heat sink performance become worse, however the temperature difference of heat transfer rises more significantly, the available output of optical power will increase on the contrary.

In space, the absence of atmospheric turbulence, absorption, dispersion and aerosol factors on laser transmission.
Therefore, space-based laser has important values in satellite communication, satellite attitude controlling, space debris clearing, and long distance energy transmission, etc. On the other hand, solar energy is a kind of clean and renewable resources, the average intensity of solar irradiation on the earth is 1353W/m2, and it is even higher in
space. Therefore, the space-based solar pumped lasers has attracted much research in recent years, most research
focuses on solar pumped solid state lasers and solar pumped fiber lasers. The two lasing principle is based on stimulated emission of the rare earth ions such as Nd, Yb, Cr. The rare earth ions absorb light only in narrow bands. This leads to inefficient absorption of the broad-band solar spectrum, and increases the system heating load, which make the system solar to laser power conversion efficiency very low. As a solar pumped semiconductor lasers could absorb all photons with energy greater than the bandgap. Thus, solar pumped semiconductor lasers could have considerably higher efficiencies than other solar pumped lasers. Besides, solar pumped semiconductor lasers has smaller volume chip, simpler structure and better heat dissipation, it can be mounted on a small satellite platform, can compose satellite array, which can greatly improve the output power of the system, and have flexible character.
This paper summarizes the research progress of space-based solar pumped semiconductor lasers, analyses of the key
technologies based on several application areas, including the processing of semiconductor chip, the design of small and efficient solar condenser, and the cooling system of lasers, etc. We conclude that the solar pumped vertical cavity surface-emitting semiconductor lasers will have a wide application prospects in the space.

266nm UV laser has a wide range of applications in many fields, such as laser medical treatment, laser processing,
precision measure and other applications for the reason of its advantages in wavelength, small diffraction effects, high single-photon energy, and high resolution and so on. BBO crystals absorb parts of the fundamental laser energy and second harmonic laser energy are unavoidable, and thus the temperature raise, so that the existing crystal phase matching conditions change, resulting in phase mismatching in the high-power frequency doubling, greatly influence the 266nm UV laser conversion efficiency. To further study the effect of phase mismatching to conversion efficiency, and improve the conversion efficiency, output power and other output characteristics of 266nm laser, the article mainly describe from the following three aspects. Firstly, took the use of three-dimensional nonlinear crystal temperature distribution which is obtained, the process of BBO crystal thermal-induced phase mismatching is analyzed. Secondly, based on frequency doubling theory, the effects of the thermal-induced phase mismatching affected of conversion in crystals are analyzed. Combining with the phase mismatching of the three-dimensional distributions, the fourth harmonic conversion efficiency with thermal phase mismatching changes of BBO 266nm UV laser are simulated for the first time. Thirdly, by using MATLAB software, the effects of phase mismatching to conversion efficiency in crystal for different waist radius, 532nm laser power and the fundamental beam quality are simulated. The results indicate a good physical interpretation of reasons of high power laser frequency doubling system. It shows that the model established explains the reason of the reduction of conversion efficiency, output power and the beam quality excellently. All results make a leading sense to the research on the compensating of the phase mismatching and on the improvement of conversion efficiency.

The laser detection and identification is based on the method of using laser as the
source of signal to scan the surface of ocean. If the laser detection equipment finds out
the target, it will immediately reflect the returning signal, and then through receiving
and disposing the returning signal by the receiving system, to realize the function of
detection and identification. Two mediums channels should be though in the process
of laser detection transmission, which are the atmosphere and the seawater. The
energy loss in the process of water transport, mainly considering the surface reflection
and scattering attenuation and internal attenuation factors such as seawater. The
energy consumption though atmospheric transmission, mainly considering the
absorption of atmospheric and the attenuation causing by scattering, the energy
consumption though seawater transmission, mainly considering the element such as
surface reflection, the attenuation of scattering and internal attenuation of seawater.

Low-level laser irradiation has been reported to promote bone formation, but the molecular mechanism is still unclear. Hedgehog signaling pathway has been reported to play an important role in promoting bone formation. The aim of the present study was to examine whether low-level Ga-Al-As laser (808 nm) irradiation could have an effect on Hedgehog signaling pathway during osteoblast proliferation in vitro. Mouse osteoblastic cell line MC3T3-E1 was cultured in vitro. The cultures after laser irradiation (3.75J/cm2) were treated with recombinant N-terminals Sonic Hedgehog (N-Shh)or Hedgehog inhibitor cyclopamine (cy). The experiment was divided into 4 group, group 1:laser irradiation, group 2: laser irradiation and N-Shh, group 3: laser irradiation and cy, group 4:control with no laser irradiation. On day 1,2 and 3,cell proliferation was determined by cell counting, Cell Counting Kit-8.On 12 h and 24 h, cell cycle was detected by flow cytometry. Proliferation activity of laser irradiation and N-Shh group was remarkably increased compared with those of laser irradiation group. Proliferation activity of laser irradiation and cy group was remarkably decreased compared with those of laser irradiation group, however proliferation activity of laser irradiation and cy group was remarkably increased compared with those of control group. These results suggest that low-level Ga-Al-As laser irradiation activate
Hedgehog signaling pathway during osteoblast proliferation in vitro. Hedgehog signaling pathway is one of the signaling pathways by which low-level Ga-Al-As laser irradiation regulates osteoblast
proliferation.

We present a extended-cavity diode laser (ECDL) with megahertz linewidth by optical feedback from a folded
Fabry–Perot cavity, and demonstrate the efficient laser linewidth reduction and frequency stabilization of the optical
feedback technique. In our experiments, a folded Fabry–Perot cavity with a finesse of 4750 replaces the reflecting mirror in the traditional ECDL configuration, the folded Fabry–Perot cavity can serve as an optical feedback element, which forces the semiconductor laser automatically to lock its frequency optically to the cavity resonance frequency. The laser’s phase noise is significantly suppressed, and The laser’s linewidth is reduced from about 20GHz to 15MHz.
