Article Abstract

We report on the demonstration of a pure Kerr-lens mode-locked Yb:CALYO laser which can directly deliver sub-200 fs pulses with more than 20-W average power. With an incident pump power of 89 W, 153-fs pulses were generated with an average power of 21.5 W at a repetition rate of 77.9 MHz. The corresponding peak power and single pulse energy were 1.6 MW and 0.27 µJ, respectively. The stable operation of the mode-locking was confirmed by very small fluctuations in both spectrum and output power recorded over an hour. Second harmonic generation (SHG) was conducted with 59% conversion efficiency, which indicated that the high-power mode-locking pulses are of good quality. Stable Kerr-lens mode-locking (KLM) with 156-fs pulse duration and 27.2-W average power was also achieved with 109-W pump power. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest average output power ever reported from a femtosecond mode-locked bulk oscillator.

Freezing of wind turbines causes loss of wind-generated power. Forecasting or prediction of icing on wind turbine blades based on SCADA sensor data allows taking appropriate actions before icing occurs. This paper presents a newly developed deep learning network model named PCTG (Parallel CNN-TCN GRU) for the purpose of high-accuracy and long-term prediction of icing on wind turbine blades.

Several approaches have been developed to generate synthetic object points using real LiDAR point cloud data for advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) applications. The synthetic object points generated from a scene (both the near and distant objects) are essential for several ADAS tasks. However, generating points from distant objects using sparse LiDAR data with precision is still a challenging task.

Accurately predicting tool wear during the machining process not only saves machining time and improves efficiency but also ensures the production of good-quality parts and automation. This paper proposes a combined variational mode decomposition (VMD) and back propagation (BP) neural network model (VMD-BP), which maps spindle power to tool wear. The model is trained using both historical and real-time data.

Research Center of Structural Health Monitoring and Prognosis, State Key Laboratory of Mechanics and Control for Aerospace Structures, Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Nanjing 210016, China.

The aircraft smart skin (ASS) with structural health monitoring capabilities is a promising technology. It enables the real-time acquisition of the aircraft's structural health status and service environment, thereby improving the performance of the aircraft and ensuring the safety of its operation, which in turn reduces maintenance costs. In this paper, a miniaturized and ultra-low-power wireless multi-parameter monitoring system (WMPMS) for ASS is developed, which is capable of monitoring multiple parameters of an aircraft, including random impact events, vibration, temperature, humidity, and air pressure.
