  • Patent number: 11925956
    Abstract: Provided is a preparation method for a double-layer working medium target tape with a plasma-enhanced interfacial bonding force for a micro laser thruster. Aiming at the problem that in an existing micro laser thruster, when a working medium is ablated by a laser beam, due to a weak interlayer interfacial bonding force between a transparent film substrate and the coating working medium, sputtering or bulging occurs, which remarkably reduces propulsive performance, a method for treating a surface of a transparent film substrate with a low-temperature plasma is used to increase surface energy of a film and an adhesive force of a working medium layer on a surface of the film, thereby enhancing the interlayer interfacial bonding force. According to the method in the present disclosure, the transparent film substrate is treated with the low-temperature plasma.

  • Patent number: 10274424
    Abstract: The present invention provides a Voigt line shape fitting method, including step 1: Calculate a Gauss line shape function and a Lorentz line shape function, and calculate a Voigt line shape function. Step 2: For determined line shape parameters to be fitted, calculate partial derivatives of the Voigt line shape function with respect to the parameters, convert a partial derivative of the Voigt line shape function with respect to a parameter into a partial derivative of the Gauss line shape function or the Lorentz line shape function with respect to the parameter. Step 3: Substitute the Voigt line shape function and the partial derivative of the Voigt line shape function with respect to the parameter to be fitted, into a least squares algorithm step, perform least squares fitting calculation, and determine whether to terminate the least squares fitting calculation or return to step 1 to perform next iterative calculation.
