Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in high-power laser technology have introduced novel phenomena and mechanisms in materials. To reveal the complex high-temperature and high-pressure physical processes with significant multiphase, multiscale and multifield coupling characteristics, we require advanced computational methods, diagnostic technologies and artificial intelligent (AI) technology. This understanding could accelerate the application of high-power lasers in various industrial sectors, such as advanced manufacturing, thermal protection, rock removal, laser cleaning, laser weapons, and a wide range of other areas.

This Special Issue aims to be a forum for the presentation of the latest developments in basic and applied research in the field of laser interaction with matter. Potential topics include but are not limited to:

  • Phenomena and mechanisms of laser ablation and damage;
  • Theoretical, numerical and experimental characterization;
  • Laser irradiation effect and mechanism;
  • Laser spectrum technology and applications;
  • High-power lasers.

At present, most researchers focus on plane wave incident on targets, but in practical applications, most of the beams are Gaussian beam. We study the scattering fields of Gaussian beam incident on rough cylinders. Coherent and incoherent scattering coefficients are obtained based on the angular spectrum expansion and physical optics approximation, and the effects of cylinder roughness, beam radius, cylinder radius and angle of incidence on scattering coefficients are analyzed. The results show that, for a constant wavelength, when the root mean square height is greater than or equal to 1/5 of the wavelength, the coherent scattering coefficient curve undergoes a change in its distribution, with the peak transforming into a trough. Furthermore, when the root mean square height is greater than or equal to 1/3 of the wavelength, the incoherent scattering coefficient experiences a decline as the root mean square height increases. The correlation length only affects the incoherent scattering coefficient. Both the coherent and incoherent scattering coefficients decrease with the increase in the incident angle. Finally, when the roughness and incident angle are constant, with the increase in the ratio of the cylinder radius to the beam waist radius, the scattered light field is more concentrated. Our results provide the theoretical basis for the measurement of the cylindrical scattering field. Full article

This study explored the impact of atmospheric turbulence on partially coherent light propagation. Atmospheric turbulence causes random modulation of the intensity and phase of light, resulting in a speckle pattern in the far field. This study focused on partially coherent Gaussian Schell model beams and derived an analytical expression of the cross-spectral density function for their transmission through atmospheric turbulence, based on the generalized Huygens–Fresnel principle and the Tatarski spectrum model. Numerical simulations were used to investigate the effects of the source parameters and turbulence strength on the intensity distribution, beam width, and coherence length of partially coherent light in horizontal atmospheric transmission. The results demonstrate that diffraction-induced broadening primarily affects the intensity distribution of light in free-space transmission. Short transmission distances in atmospheric turbulence have comparable characteristics to those in a vacuum; however, as the turbulence intensity and transmission distance increase, the beam broadening effect amplifies, and the coherence length is reduced. The findings are relevant to the design of acquisition, pointing, and tracking systems for wireless laser communication systems and offer insights into the optimization of optical systems for atmospheric conditions.
