In terahertz (THz) time-domain spectroscopy, the excitation of THz waves by fiber optic transmission of femtosecond pulsed lasers can provide great convenience for nondestructive testing of large and medium-sized aircraft. However, due to the high peak power characteristics of the femtosecond laser, the pulse spreading and distortion caused by fiber dispersion and nonlinearity can seriously affect the output laser pulse quality and the excitation of THz waves. In this paper, a three-segment femtosecond laser transmission scheme using asymmetric dual-core fiber (ADCF)-single-mode fiber (SMF)-dispersion-compensated fiber (DCF) is proposed. The simulation study results show that the strong dispersion using a 2.8-cm-long ADCF can reduce the 1 kW peak power to 8.03 W and extend the 50 fs pulse width to 3.74 ps, respectively. The spreading pulse can be restored to the peak power of 987.20 W and pulse width of 51.80 fs after the 10m-long SMF and then transmitted by the 66.9 cm-long DCF. This shows that the proposed femtosecond laser transmission scheme can achieve good pulse recompression and simultaneous recovery of pulse waveform and power, which lays the foundation for the construction of further THz time-domain spectroscopy systems using longer fibers for femtosecond laser transmission.
Quartz tuning fork is a kind of widely used piezoelectric device. However, as a hard and brittle material, silicon dioxide crystal, which is the core component of tuning fork, is difficult to realize high precision microprocessing. In this paper, femtosecond laser is used to process silicon dioxide crystal. The laser processing parameters which affect quality of tuning fork sidewall are theoretically analyzed, and an experimental study is carried out to optimize the technological parameters and improve the quality of tuning fork crystal. In addition, a set of processing route of quartz tuning device is designed, The tuning fork sensor manufactured has the characteristics of low cost, compact structure, low power consumption and will have a wide application prospects in the future.
This paper proposes a portable ultrasonic guided wave detector based on ADLINK COM Express (Computer On Module Express) computer module. This detector is equipped with Windows7 operating system and uses the PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) bus as the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) of COM Express and Xilinx. The data transmission rate can reach 500MB/s in the transmission line. In addition, a self-developed high-voltage pulse signal generation circuit and signal acquisition circuit are used in the analog circuit. Finally, this developed detector is used to excite ultrasonic guided waves in the aluminum plate and the pipe to realize the identification of defect echo signals in these two structures, which verify the reliability of the designed detector.
