This article reports on a millimeter-wave (MM-wave) signal down-conversion system with low phase noise for chip-scaled optical clocks. The system utilizes analog regenerative frequency division, low-noise fractional frequency division, and phase-locked frequency division techniques to down-convert a 100 GHz MM-wave signal to 100 MHz with phase noise of -117 dBc/Hz @100 Hz, -133 dBc/Hz @1 kHz, and 10 MHz with phase noise of -124 dBc/Hz @100 Hz and -143 dBc/Hz @1 kHz. The frequency stability of the signal down-converted to 100 MHz is 5.

Early detection and resolution of these problems are crucial for ensuring the quality and efficiency of production. The key challenge in applying deep learning to surface defect detection of industrial products is the scarcity of defect samples, which will make supervised learning methods unsuitable for surface defect detection problems.

In the production process of metal industrial products, the deficiencies and limitations of existing technologies and working conditions can have adverse effects on the quality of the final products, making surface defect detection particularly crucial. However, collecting a sufficient number of samples of defective products can be challenging. Therefore, treating surface defect detection as a semi-supervised problem is appropriate.

In industrial production, flaws and defects inevitably appear on surfaces, resulting in unqualified products. Therefore, surface defect detection plays a key role in ensuring industrial product quality and maintaining industrial production lines. However, surface defects on different products have different manifestations, so it is difficult to regard all defective products as being within one category that has common characteristics.
