  • Patent number: 12155175
    Abstract: A laser with a hexagonal semiconductor microdisk to solve the problems of a low quality factor of a hexagonal whispering-gallery mode and light exiting difficulty of a triangular whispering-gallery mode is disclosed. Based on physical characteristics of stimulated radiation of gain materials with a high refractive index, the apparatus uses a distributed Bragg reflection layer to reduce an optical loss of a microcavity laser, and uses a hexagonal semiconductor microdisk as an optical resonator and laser gain material. As an optical pump source, the laser provides an optical gain, and when the gain exceeds a microcavity laser threshold, generates laser light for exiting. By controlling a laser spot of the pump source to be located at a corner of the hexagonal microdisk, the laser light in a double-triangular whispering-gallery optical resonance mode is generated after stimulated radiation for exiting.

  • Publication number: 20220181848
    Abstract: A method for numerical control milling, forming and polishing of a large-diameter aspheric lens to solve long time-consuming and severe tool wear in the machining of a meter-scale large-diameter aspheric surface is disclosed. An aspheric surface is discretized into a series of rings with different radii, and the rings are sequentially machined through generating cutting by using an annular grinding wheel tool; the rings are equally spaced, there are a total of N rings, and the width of any ring is jointly determined by the Nth ring, the (N-1)th ring, positioning accuracy, and a generatrix equation of the aspheric lens, and the nth ring has a curvature radius of Rn =sqrt(R02-k*(n*dx)2); and the aspheric surface is enveloped by a large number of rings. The tool used for machining has a diameter greater than the semi-diameter of the aspheric surface, and contact area between tool and workpiece surface is rings.
