Abstract:
Constructing a photoconductive semiconductor switch (PCSS)-metal coil structure, we discovered a new phenomenon of electromagnetic oscillation in vanadium-compensation semi-insulating (VCSI) PCSS. Here the PCSS responds to laser pulse and high-voltage signal while the metal coil generates an oscillating voltage pulse envelope signal. The generation of this oscillating signal is not related to the input bias voltage of the PCSS, the pulse circuit components, or the electrode structure of the PCSS, rather it is related to the output characteristic of the PCSS. This physical phenomenon can be explained using the current surge model in photoconducting antenna. Preparing ohmic contact electrode on the silicon carbide material forms the PCSS, which generates a large number of photogenerated carriers when ultra-fast laser pulses irradiate the surface of the material and Simultaneously applies a bias voltage signal between the electrode. At this time inside the PCSS the electric field causes the transient current, radiating electromagnetic wave to the metal coil to generate oscillating signal.

Abstract:
The solid-state high-voltage pulse switch with high index, compact structure and good stability is of great significance to the progress of pulse power technology. This paper proposes a high-voltage nanosecond switching technology route based on Photoconductive Semiconductor Switches (PCSS) and thyristor surge suppressor (TSS) arrays, and a new type of high voltage switching module (PCSS triggering thyristor surge suppressors module, PTTSSM) is developed by using PCSS, which is convenient for realizing the high-voltage isolation, as the triggering unit of TSS arrays. The 20 kV PTTSSM has a peak output current of 23.7 A, a pulse width of 122.1 ns, a rise time and a fall time of 55.9 ns and 128.3 ns, respectively, and a size of 60 mm×60 mm×40 mm. The 100 kV PTTSSM has an adjustable peak output voltage of 60−100 kV, a maximum peak output current of 356 A, a pulse width of 1.308 µs, rise time and fall time of 160.4 ns and 2.454 µs, respectively, and its size is 150 mm×100 mm×50 mm. All of them can work stably for a long time. Pulse power supply based on a new solid-state switching module successfully generates a large number of stable low-temperature plasmas in organic wastewater treatment experiments, verifying the feasibility and effectiveness of the switching module-driven plasma generation.

Abstract:
Thermal diffusion coefficient is an important parameter of optical components in high-energy and high-power laser systems, and it is related to the laser damage resistance of components. However, the measurement error of the existing thermal diffusion coefficient measurement methods is large under the condition of multi-dimensional thermal conduction. As thermal diffusion length is the basis of thermal diffusion coefficient measurement, our study used the finite element method to simulate the two-dimensional heat conduction under continuous heating of heat source, and summarized the relationship between thermal diffusion length, thermal diffusion coefficient and heating time. On this basis, it proposed a model and method for measuring two-dimensional thermal diffusion length under continuous heating of heat source. Firstly, finite element analysis was used to establish a model to simulate the relationship between thermal diffusion length and thermal diffusion coefficient in one-dimensional heat conduction, and the two models were compared with numerical analytical expressions. The feasibility of using continuous heat source and thermal diffusion length to solve the thermal diffusion coefficient was verified. The effects of heat loss, sample thickness and heat source loading time on the results were discussed. Finally, the practical measurement scheme and measures to improve the measurement accuracy were put forward. This study provides a way to measure the thermal diffusion length of materials or components conveniently and accurately, and is of great significance for fabrication of high power and high energy laser system components.

Abstract:
The electron irradiation effect of a 4H-SiC npn bipolar transistor UV detector is investigated in this paper. When the phototransistor is biased at 5 V, before irradiation, its dark current is about 58 nA, and its responsivity to 365 nm UV light is about 31A/W. After the device is irradiated by a 10 MeV e-beam, the order of magnitude of the dark current decreases to 10−11 A, and the responsivity decreases to about 1/8 of the original one. After irradiation, the responsivity of the device is significantly affected by the bias voltage: it decreases as the bias voltage decreases, and when the phototransistor is biased at 3 V, the responsivity decreases to 2.25 A/W. E-beam irradiation also affects the switching response of the UV detector, which results in a longer total time of response. In this paper, the circuit model of phototransistor operation is established, and the decrease of light generation current, the decrease of transistor gain and the increase of series resistance caused by electron beam irradiation are the main reasons for the degradation of photodetector’s UV response performance.

Abstract:
With the increasing demand for diagnostics of high-energy-density (HED) materials, X-ray interferometric imaging technology has gained significant attention and application in this field. This paper primarily reviews the latest domestic and international advancements in X-ray interferometric imaging techniques and systems, focusing on the principles and capabilities of X-ray grating imaging based on Talbot and Talbot-Lau interferometry. Talbot and Talbot-Lau interferometry utilize gratings with periodic structures to perform high-precision measurements of X-ray phase, absorption, and scattering properties, enabling non-destructive inspection and imaging of internal structures of samples. This work summarizes the application of these techniques in diagnostic experiments for HED materials, introduces the Talbot Interferometric Analysis (TIA) code, and demonstrates an initial simulation by integrating the TIA program with the Flash hydrodynamics code. The simulation successfully retrieved three types of information: absorption, phase, and dark-field from the Flash model. Finally, the paper concludes with a summary and outlook on the application of X-ray Talbot-Lau interferometric diagnostic technology in HED plasma experiments.

Abstract:
This paper discusses early experiments on indirect laser-driven implosion of double-metal-shell targets conducted with a hundred-kilojoule-class laser facility. The design of the double-metal-shell target is derived from the volume ignition scheme, which decouples the radiation ablation and implosion compression processes, thereby improving the robustness of the implosion. However, due to the high difficulty in manufacturing the double-metal-shell target, the neutron yield in the initial experiments was much lower than expected from simulations. To address this issue, two key improvements are proposed: first, optimizing the joint design of the outer shell to reduce the impact of hydrodynamic instability, thus to improve the collision efficiency of the inner and outer shells and the implosion efficiency of the inner core; second, enhancing the coupling efficiency of the hohlraum-target to improve the effective transfer of laser energy. With these improvements, the compression performance and implosion efficiency of the target were significantly enhanced, resulting in a substantial increase in neutron yield, from\begin{document}$ 5.0\times {10}^{7} $\end{document} ![]()

Abstract:
To understand the effect of laser focal spot size on the extreme ultraviolet conversion efficiency and the physical mechanism that produces the effect, we developed a two-dimensional transient expansion model of laser ablation of planar target to produce coronal plasma by means of theoretical analysis. It is found that under condition with light intensity of 7.45×1010 W/cm2, full width at half maxima of 5 ns, wavelength of1064 nm, as the laser focal spot radius increases from 60 μm to 300 μm, the corresponding extreme ultraviolet conversion efficiency increases from 1% to 5.5%, while the corresponding extreme ultraviolet conversion efficiency stays at 5.5% after the focal spot radius is larger than 300 μm. This is due to the fact that the plasma in the coronal region generated by laser ablation of planar targets expands from the initial one-dimensional expansion to the subsequent two-dimensional expansion, which determines the saturation size of the plasma region emitting extreme ultraviolet light and ultimately determines the conversion efficiency of the extreme ultraviolet light. Our theoretical analysis on trend of conversion efficiency with focal spot radius can explain the physical phenomena observed in the laser ablation of a tin target experiment.

Abstract:
In the field of high-power microwave radiation, mode converter and horn antenna are commonly used technologies to achieve rotational axisymmetric mode-directed radiation, but the separate design of mode converter and horn antenna often results in a large axial and aperture size of the antenna. To meet the demand for miniaturization of antennas in actual application scenarios, a stepped double semicircular waveguides radiation antenna with mode control and radiation integration is proposed. The antenna is fed with a circular waveguide TM01 mode and divided into two 180° phase difference semicircular waveguides by a plate. Then, two asymmetric stepped semicircular waveguide radiation elements are connected to achieve microwave radiation. The power divider uses a gradually tapered circular waveguide for matching, and a large inner conductor is used to improve power capacity. The dual semicircular waveguide radiation elements use the mode matching method combined with the Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm for phase adjustment and mode control. By integrating mode control and radiation in a multi-region design, a more uniform co-phase electric field distribution is achieved at the radiation aperture, achieving directed radiation, thereby shortening the antenna length and reducing the aperture size. An antenna model with a center frequency of 2.85 GHz is optimized, with dimensions of 1.18λ×1.18λ×2.42λ. Simulation results show that the return loss of the antenna is greater than 15 dB in the 2.75−2.96 GHz band, the realized gain is greater than 15.5 dBi in the 2.71−3 GHz band, the realized gain at the center frequency is 16.14 dBi and the vacuum power capacity is 906 MW. Compared with the traditional mode converter and horn antenna technology route, the proposed antenna has the characteristics of high power capacity and miniaturization.

Abstract:
To explore the root cause of the reboot and shutdown phenomenon of electronic equipment in a strong electromagnetic field environment, this study considered a certain type of DC-regulated power supply as a test object and observed the susceptibility phenomena exhibited by the power supply under strong continuous wave electromagnetic radiation. In this experiment, the relative variation in voltage was selected as the effect parameter, and the variation feature of the effect parameter with the interference field strength was described. The irradiation test was carried out in the GTEM cell with an interference signal frequency range of 80–1000 MHz and a maximum field strength of 300 V/m. The test results indicate that the output voltage variation of the test power supply can be divided into two stages. When the interference field strength was low, the variation types of voltage included monotone rise, monotone fall, or first rise and then fall. At this stage, the voltage variation did not exceed 20%, and the load equipment could still operate normally. When the interference field strength was high, the voltage variation showed a sudden change. It could be divided into three types of interference phenomena such as shutting down after stopping interference (80–120 MHz, 320–350 MHz), shutting down when jamming (220–270 MHz, 360–420 MHz), rebooting (570–590 MHz, 700–720 MHz, 860–880 MHz), which posed actual threat to the load electrical equipment. There was no obvious correspondence between the susceptibility phenomena of the two stages.

Abstract:
The BCD technology integrates Bipolar, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS), and Double Diffused MOSFET (DMOS) within a single chip, widely utilized in electronic components and system production. Gate drivers fabricated by BCD technology can reduce transmission delays, lower power consumption, and enhance drive capabilities. However, the radiation effects in space environments may lead to performance degradation and potentially jeopardize the safety of spacecraft. This paper focuses on gate drivers based on BCD technology, employing an enclosed layout structure for total ionizing dose (TID) radiation hardening. Through TID irradiation tests, the electrical parameter variations between hardened and unhardened devices are compared. Results indicate that TID radiation causes degradation in the output voltage and current characteristics of the device, manifesting as a decrease in switching voltage and an increase in output current, while having a negligible impact on the output resistance. Comparing test outcomes from both types of drivers, it is evident that the ring-gate hardening method effectively mitigates edge leakage induced by TID radiation to a certain extent. Nevertheless, functional failure occurs in the devices at 500 krad(Si).

Abstract:
Flash radiography enables the diagnosis of rapid physical processes, yet the instantaneous nature of image acquisition results in a severely limited number of projections. This study investigates uncertainty quantification methods for computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction under the typical scenario of a single projection view. Current approaches for single-view CT uncertainty quantification often adopt oversimplified physical models, assuming linearized optical path equations with Gaussian noise. To address this limitation, we derive a more realistic nonlinear reconstruction framework based on the Lambert-Beer’s law, constructing an exponential attenuation model for transmittance with an integrated Gaussian noise term. This formulation yields a nonlinear posterior probability density function, which is subsequently sampled using the Randomize-Then-Optimize (RTO) algorithm combined with Gibbs sampling. The reconstructed image and its associated uncertainty are obtained through statistical analysis of the sampled data. Numerical simulations validate the proposed method, with comparative results against conventional linearized models demonstrating its superior potential for accurate uncertainty estimation in image reconstruction.

Abstract:
In this study, double-sided Al film was prepared on the surface of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) by controlling different Al target currents with magnetron sputtering technology. The micro-morphology of the Al film was observed using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). Phase analysis of the Al film was carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The adhesion between the Al film and PET was detected by the cross-cut method. The light-blocking property of the Al film was measured by an ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. The transmittance of α and β particles in the Al film was detected using a handheld nuclear radiation detector. The results show that the surface of the Al film is smooth and flat with a metallic luster, and the Al grains are uniform and dense. The Al film has no defects such as pores and cracks. As the Al target current increases, the Al grain size, the thickness of the Al film, and the deposition rate all increase, and the roughness of the Al film first decreases and then increases. The light-blocking property of the Al film first improves and then decreases, and the average transmittance of both α and β particles gradually decreases. When the Al target current is 2.0 A, the roughness of the Al film is the minimum, which is 2.49 nm. The light transmittance is the lowest, around 0.025%. The average transmittance of α and β particles is the highest, being 581.7 CPS and 547.2 CPS respectively.
In this study, double-sided Al film was prepared on the surface of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) by controlling different Al target currents with magnetron sputtering technology.

Abstract:
Radionuclides have been widely used in the fields of nuclear medicine, nuclear security and non-destructive testing, and their accurate identification is the basis of qualitative detection of radionuclides. In the portable nuclide recognition instrument, the traditional energy spectrum analysis method has the shortcomings of high delay and low recognition rate. This paper proposes a lightweight neural network model for nuclide recognition based on kernel pulse peak sequence and its FPGA hardware acceleration method. A lightweight and efficient neural network model is constructed by introducing depth-separable convolution and reciprocal residual modules, and using global average pooling to replace the traditional fully connected layer. For the network training data set, NaI (Tl) detector model was constructed through Monte Carlo toolkit Geant4 to obtain the analog energy spectrum, and then a simulator generated nuclear pulse signal sequences according to the energy spectrum, and 16 kinds of nuclear pulse signal data were constructed. Finally, the trained model is deployed to PYNQ-Z2 heterogeneous chip through optimization methods such as quantization, fusion and parallel computing to achieve acceleration. Experimental results show that the recognition accuracy of the proposed model can reach 98.3%, which is 13.2% higher than that of the traditional convolutional neural network model, and the number of parameters is only 2 128. After FPGA optimization and acceleration, the single recognition time is 0.273 ms, and the power consumption is 1.94 W.

Abstract:
Adding the vortex factors to the Gaussian, Lorenz, and Voigt airglow (aurora) light spectrum profiles of the for the upper atmospheric wind measurement, the vortex expressions of the three profiles of airglow (aurora) light sources are derived theoretically. The three profiles of airglow (aurora) with vortex light are simulated, and it is found that the extinction of the three profiles of light sources varies with the topological charge number l. The Gaussian vortex light rotates around the axis and the phase changes by 2πl, and the central extinction part and phase increase with the increase of l. The main extinction direction of Lorenz vortex is the transverse axis distribution direction. With the increase of l, the light intensity decreases, and the center extinction is carried out in discontinuous mode, which has a spiral spatial phase structure. Voigt vortex light profile is symmetrical on both the transverse and longitudinal sides, and the top is V-shaped extinction along the -z direction. The expressions are derived between the interference intensity of the three profile of vortex light, optical path difference and topological charge number, and the 3D diagram of the interference fringe of the three profiles of vortex light is simulated, and it is found that the spatial spectral intensity produces different fork structures under different topological charge number: with the change of vortex phase, the original spatial distribution changes, and the whole extends and extrudes from the maximum light intensity to both sides, and the influence of vortex phase extrude and dislocation is greater under fractional topological load. The experimental results show that there are fringes outside the bright ring of the Gaussian vortex light with the same topological charge number l, and the total topological phase will increase 2π and the beam waist radius will increase with each increase of topological charge number l by 1.

Abstract:
To study the hydrodynamic instability in laser fusion implosion, X-ray diagnostic technology with large field of view and high resolution is needed. Fresnel zone plate (FZP) is a kind of circular aperiodic grating structure, which can realize high spatial resolution imaging of X-ray. In this paper, the simulation research of high-resolution X-ray diagnosis technology based on diffraction imaging is carried out, showing the application prospects of FZP for hydrodynamic instability research. Based on the diffraction theory, the theoretical model of FZP is established, and the structural parameters of FZP with working energy point of 8.04 keV are designed according to the diagnostic experimental environment. Based on the optical simulation model, the color difference of FZP imaging is simulated, and the relationship between spatial resolution and spectral bandwidth is given. The simulation results show that the bandwidth of light source is less than 0.2 keV, and the resolution of FZP is better than 3 μm. The simulation of grid backlight imaging shows that FZP can achieve good resolution (less than 3 μm) within 0.8 mm field of view.

Abstract:
Industrial linear accelerators are gradually moving towards high average beam power in small, compact shapes. The beam break-up effect due to the transverse wakefield is the main limitation to its performance improvement. The hybrid dielectric-iris-loaded structure is a new miniaturization accelerating structure with high average beam power. The main problem is difficulty in assembly and tuning. Through the study of dielectric based accelerating structures, a miniaturization accelerator with high average beam power was designed and optimized. During the research process, the influence of dielectric structural parameters on the accelerating structure size, accelerating gradient, and beam power was analyzed. The optimized accelerating structure size was reduced by about one-third compared to conventional iris-loaded accelerating structure. It can achieve the same acceleration gradient. The insertion of a simple dielectric tube into the dielectric structure made assembly and tuning easier. The optimized accelerator operats at S-band with the frequency of2856 MHz and voltage of 2.5 MeV. During the research process, beam dynamics is calculated through numerical calculation methods and PARMELA. Our research provides an important groundwork for further development of irradiation linear accelerators.

Abstract:
This study focuses on the critical challenge of the integrated storage ring injection system in a compact X-ray light source. Utilizing the 3D electromagnetic field simulation software CST and the beam dynamics simulation software ELEGANT, we conducted multi-parameter optimization design for the key component of the injection system—the perturbator. The phase space evolution behavior of the electron beam during half-integer resonance injection processes was systematically investigated, leading to optimized structural parameters of injection components. For the compact storage ring, the optimized injection scheme demonstrates that the perturbator achieves optimal performance when positioned within an angular range of 150°–210° relative to the injection point, with the electron beam injection offset by 30 mm from the equilibrium orbit. After the perturbator stops working, the injected electron oscillation amplitude is minimized to 3.4 mm. Furthermore, the feasibility of implementing a multi-turn multi-pass injection scheme in the compact storage ring was analyzed. Numerical results indicate that maximum injection efficiency can be obtained when the kicker operates at a frequency of 3 MHz. These findings provide critical insights for enhancing beam stability and operational efficiency in compact synchrotron radiation facilities.

Abstract:
We have developed a femtosecond laser plane-by-plane direct writing method based on beam shaping, enabling single-step fabrication of the large-area fiber Bragg grating (FBG) planes. Using this innovative approach, we successfully fabricated high-reflectivity (HR) and low-reflectivity (LR) FBG pairs in 20/400-m double-clad fibers and implemented them in an all-fiber oscillator. Under a pump power of2262 W, the oscillator achieved near-single-mode laser output of 1664 W with an optical–optical conversion efficiency of 73.47%, a beam quality factor M2 of 1.46, and a 3-dB spectral bandwidth of 3 nm without stimulated Raman scattering peaks. The results indicate that femtosecond laser direct writing technology offers both fabrication flexibility and thermal management advantages for high-power grating fabrication, and establishes a key technological pathway for enhancing the performance of all-fiber laser systems.
