With the amount increasing, the BIM (Building Information Modeling or Building Information Model) data exchange and sharing face a series of challenges including integration of disparate data models, fast information extraction and data consistency maintenance. Since the existing BIM data storing and transferring method based on neutral files or a centralized database cannot meet the above-mentioned requirements, a framework of distributed BIM service on a private cloud platform was proposed. By this BIM service, multi-stage participants store relevant data on their own servers, which are virtually integrated through a CC (cloud computing) platform to form a logically complete BIM. It supports participants to establish, manage and transfer consistent BIM data efficiently with ensuring of data privacy. To achieve this BIM service, a BIM integration and service platform (BIMISP) based on IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) and CC was developed. Proved by experiments, the research achievements are useful for improving the efficiency and quality of information extraction and delivery, ensuring the safety and legality of data sharing during building lifecycle.
In the past few years, rapid progress has been made in scaling of the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) output. For a high-power SFS in the 1-μm spectral region [5][6][7][8][9], Schmidt et al. [9] reported a narrow-band SFS with maximum output power of 697 W at a center wavelength of 1,030 nm using a two-stage master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) configuration. In comparison with SFSs in the 1-μm spectral region, few studies have been reported to date on high-power broadband thulium (Tm)-doped SFSs in the 2-µm spectral region [10][11][12]. In 2008, Shen et al.[13] demonstrated a broadband Tm-doped fiber SFS with a single-ended output power of 11 W using a free-space pump configuration. The slope efficiency was 38 %, and the full width at half maximum (FWHM) bandwidth was 36 nm. Recently, Liu et al. [14] reported a 122-W broadband superfluorescence output using a MOPA configuration, with a wavelength range that spanned from 1,935 to 2,075 nm and a FWHM bandwidth of 25 nm. Obviously, a MOPA scheme can produce a higher ASE output than a single-stage SFS generation scheme. However, the main drawback of the MOPA scheme is that it is rather complex. It requires two kinds of fibers (and their associated pump sources) and one or more Faraday isolators to provide the required degree of attenuation of feedback to both the seed and the amplifier. In contrast, a single-stage SFS generation scheme needs fewer elements and requires less space, so it is both simpler and more compact. In addition, it is not easy to realize an all-fiber SFS for a MOPA scheme because of the destructive effect of the strong backward ASE on the pump source and the other optical components.In this paper, we report a simple approach for scaling of the output power from a Tm-doped SFS using a singlestage configuration in combination with a double anglecleaved facet geometry to reduce the feedback from the fiber-end facets and provide effective suppression of the Abstract In this paper, we report a high-power thulium (Tm)-doped superfluorescent fiber source (SFS) in the 2-μm spectral region. The SFS is based on double anglecleaved facet operation and uses a simple single-stage geometry. The copropagating amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) yields a maximum output of 20.7 W at a center wavelength of 1,960.7 nm, with a full width at half maximum (FWHM) of ~45 nm. The counterpropagating ASE yields a maximum output of 25.2 W at a center wavelength of 1,948.2 nm, with a FWHM of ~50 nm. The maximum combined output of the SFS is as much as 45.9 W, which corresponds to a slope efficiency of 38.9 %. In addition, a model of the ~2 μm SFS in Tm-doped silica fibers pumped at ~790 nm is developed, and the influence of fiber length and end-facet reflectivity on the ASE output performance and the parasitic lasing threshold are studied numerically.
