A single isolated attosecond pulse of 67 as was composed from an extreme UV supercontinuum covering 55-130 eV generated by the double optical gating technique. Phase mismatch was used to exclude the single-atom cutoff of the spectrum that possesses unfavorable attochirp, allowing the positive attochirp of the remaining spectrum to be compensated by the negative dispersion of a zirconium foil. Two algorithms, PROOF and FROG-CRAB, were employed to retrieve the pulse from the experimental spectrogram, yielding nearly identical results.

A novel method of fault line selection based on IOS is presented. Firstly, the IOS is established by using math model, which adopted TZSC signal to replace built-in signal of duffing chaotic oscillator by selecting appropriate parameters. Then, each line’s TZSC decomposed by db10 wavelet packet to get CFB with the maximum energy principle, and CFB was solved by IOS. Finally, maximum chaotic distance and average chaotic distance on the phase trajectory are used to judge fault line. Simulation results show that the proposed method can accurately judge fault line and healthy line in strong noisy background. Besides, the nondetection zones of proposed method are elaborated.

This paper studies three-dimensional (3D) straight line path following and obstacle avoidance control for an underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) without lateral and vertical driving forces. Firstly, the expected angular velocities are designed by using two different methods in the kinematic controller. The first one is a traditional method based on Line-of-sight (LOS) guidance law, and the second one is an improved method based on model predictive control (MPC). At the same time, a penalty item is designed by using the obstacle information detected by onboard sensors, which can realize the real-time obstacle avoidance of the unknown obstacle. Then, in order to overcome the uncertainty of the dynamics model and the saturation of actual control input, the dynamic controller is designed by using sliding mode control (SMC) technology. Finally, in the simulation experiment, the performance of the improved control method is verified by comparison with two traditional control methods based on LOS guidance law. Since the constraint of an AUV’s angular velocities are considered in MPC, simulation results show that the improved control method uses MPC, and SMC not only improves the tracking quality of the AUV when switching paths near the waypoints and realizes real-time obstacle avoidance but also effectively reduces the mean square error (MSE) and saturation rate of the rudder angle. Therefore, this control method is more conducive to the system stability and saves energy.
