Herein, we have proposed a modularized orthogonal-polarization dual-wavelength microcavity enabled by high reflectance (HR) and output-coupled (OC) gradient-composite multi-dimensional meta-filters, where these printable meta-filters are composed of two nanocomposite metasurfaces (NCMSs). Specifically, based on the Mie surface lattice resonances (Mie-SLR), the designed NCMSs can realize tunable multi-parameter filtering at diverse dimensions (wavelength, polarization, and incident angle) by optimizing the lattice distances. By virtue of the sandwich-type gradient-composite configuration, the proposed meta-filters have integrated orthogonal-polarization filtering of two independent NCMS at 1064 nm and 1320 nm. The stability of the multi-dimensional filtering capabilities of the proposed meta-filters has been enhanced by optimizing the thickness of the resin bonding layers in the gradient-composite structure. Without other nonlinear modulation, orthogonal-polarization dual-wavelength mode oscillations can be developed only by passive multi-dimensional filtering of HR and OC meta-filters in the microcavity. These proposed new-generation gradient-composite multi-dimensional meta-filters will provide novel strategies toward high-robust miniature light sources for wearable optical devices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19511,"journal":{"name":"Optics and Laser Technology","volume":"182 ","pages":"Article 112120"},"PeriodicalIF":4.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142701356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this work, two multi-laser scanning strategies, i.e., parallel scanning (single laser operating) and simultaneous scanning (two lasers operating simultaneously) along the gas flow direction, within a range of flow velocity from 0 to 3 m/s, were employed to print 316L parts. The effect of the flow velocity and multi-laser scanning strategy on the surface quality, internal defects, and microhardness of 316L printed via ML-PBF were investigated. Both multi-laser scanning strategies obtained minimum surface roughness at an upstream area within the flow velocity range of 2–3 m/s, due to the elimination of balling phenomenon and the improvement of large spatters attachment. The printed 316L alloy achieved a density of over 99 % and an average microhardness exceeding 180 HV when the flow velocity exceeded 2 m/s in simultaneous scanning and 1 m/s in parallel scanning. The superior mechanical properties were attributed to the decrease in both the number and size of lack-of-fusion defects. Additionally, spatters generated at the upstream areas had a detrimental impact on the sample quality at the downstream areas, resulting in inferior surface quality and density.

Theoretical connections between image features and DHD, as well as the theoretical associations between instantaneous temperature characteristic and DHD, have been systematically deduced.

However, this process requires attention to the propagation and failure mechanism of shockwaves to better understand the energy reference level of spalling in bonded structures. Under laser shock, a combination of simulation and experimental methods was employed to investigate the impact of laser energy and pulse width on the damage characteristics of symmetrically bonded laminated plates with varying thicknesses of bonding plates, elucidating the layered damage mechanism induced by laser shock. It has been observed that the thickness of the bonding plate exhibits a correlation with both the location of damage and the laser energy threshold, under unchanged laser parameters. The thicker the bonding plate, the higher the laser energy threshold becomes, and gradually, the initial location of damage shifts from the impact back to the adhesive layer. With the increase of pulse width, the damage location of the spalling moves from the impact back to the impact surface, and the spalling area increases. The thicker the bonding plate of the symmetrical bonded structure, the greater the selected pulse width, which can enhance spalling effectiveness. Laser energy plays a crucial role in determining spalling outcomes, with higher laser energy resulting in increased spalling damage.

The mechanism by which LIT enhanced the mechanical properties of the FSW joints was elucidated by comparing joints produced with and without LIT. Experimental findings revealed that LIT effectively eradicated tunnel defects under the same FSW parameters.

LIT reduced ferrite distribution in the dual-phase zone, caused recrystallized ferrite to appear further from the SZ. The stress concentration in the dual-phase zone attributed to joint fracture. The improvement in the mechanical properties of martensitic steel FSW joints was explained by analyzing the correlation between the stress concentration factor and phase fraction.
