Characteristics of the reverberation signal at a vertical array with tonal insonification of a shallow-water basin

The angular and spectral characteristics of reverberation signals on a fixed path are studied by using vertical receiving arrays with a tonal insonification of the basin. The choice of the frequency range F ～ 200–300 Hz is caused, first, by the low propagation loss and the availability of high-power acoustic transducers for this range and, second, by the possibility to study the phenomena of sound scattering by the sea surface for comparable wavelengths of surface and acoustic waves. The data of experiments on two paths are considered: the first path is in the Barents Sea with propagation conditions corresponding to a uniform waveguide with sea depths H ～ 110–120 m, whereas the second path is in the White Sea with propagation conditions corresponding to a nonuniform waveguide where the sea depth varies from 30 to 250 m.     

Spectral features of the water temperature and sound intensity variations measured on the shelf of the Sea of Japan

Results of a spectral analysis of the water temperature and sound intensity variations measured on stationary acoustic-hydrophysical tracks in the shelf zone of the Sea of Japan are presented. The measurements were carried out in different seasons with the use of equipment that included a vertical acoustic-hydrophysical measuring system, self-contained acoustic-hydrophysical radio buoys, and a self-contained electromagnetictype resonance (320 Hz) transmitter. Spectral features of temperature fluctuations caused by internal waves in a vertical water layer are studied, and their influence on the sound propagation is demonstrated on tracks of different lengths oriented along and across the shelf.     

Spatial correlation properties and the spectral intensity distributions of focused Gaussian Schell-model array beams

The spatial correlation properties and the spectral intensity distributions of focused Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) array beams are studied in detail. The closed-form expressions for the spectral degree of coherence and the spectral intensity of focused GSM array beams are derived. It is shown that the spectral degree of coherence of focused GSM array beams is the same as that of focused GSM beams in the focal plane. On the other hand, it is found that, in the focal plane the spectral intensity distribution of focused GSM array beams is the fringe pattern when the value of the coherence length is small. However, it becomes one peak located at the center as the value of the coherence length is large enough. In the focal plane, the spectral intensity maximum increases and the width of the normalized spectral intensity distribution decreases as the beam number increases. In general, for GSM array beams, the width of the modulus of the spectral degree of coherence in the focal plane always exceeds that of the normalized spectral intensity distribution, which is different from the behavior of focused GSM beams. In addition, the power in the bucket (PIB) and the beam propagation factor (M² factor) are also discussed. The main results are explained physically.     

A model for estimating ultrasound attenuation along the propagation path to the fetus from backscattered waveforms

Accurate estimates of the ultrasound pressure and/or intensity incident on the developing fetus on a patient-specific basis could improve the diagnostic potential of medical ultrasound by allowing the clinician to increase the transmit power while still avoiding the potential for harmful bioeffects. Neglecting nonlinear effects, the pressure/intensity can be estimated if an accurate estimate of the attenuation along the propagation path (i.e., total attenuation) can be obtained. Herein, a method for determining the total attenuation from the backscattered power spectrum from the developing fetus is proposed. The boundaries between amnion and either the fetus' skull or soft tissue are each modeled as planar impedance boundaries at an unknown orientation with respect to the sound beam. A mathematical analysis demonstrates that the normalized returned voltage spectrum from this model is independent of the planes orientation. Hence, the total attenuation can be estimated by comparing the location of the spectral peak in the reflection from the fetus to the location of the spectral peak in a reflection obtained from a rigid plane in a water bath. The independence of the attenuation estimate and plane orientation is then demonstrated experimentally using a Plexiglas plate, a rat's skull, and a tissue-mimicking phantom.

讨论了光波在水平大气湍流中传输时的情况。计算结果表明自适应光学系统的补偿效果与光波传播路径上的横向风有很大的关系。大气湍流的强度越大，自适应光学系统的截止频率越高，横向风的影响也越大。计算结果还表明在相同的ｒ０或者相同的大气湍流强度下，球面波所受大气扰动的自适应光学补偿效果受横向风的影响要比平面波的厉害。本文还将理论分析的结果和数值模拟的结果进行了比较，表明数值模拟结果受横向风的影响比理论分析结果受横向风的影响大。最后，文中分析了以上现象并对此作出了合理的解释

Propagation of supercontinuum laser sources in a slant path through the atmosphere

Taking the atmospheric refraction, extinction and turbulence into account, the propagation characteristic of supercontinuum laser sources in a slant path through the turbulent atmosphere is investigated. The effect of spectral width, initial spot size and zenith angle in a slant path on the beam width and propagation efficiency are studied in details. Numerical examples reveal that the beam width and propagation efficiency are different values while the spectral width varies. With the zenith angle in a slant atmospheric path increasing, the beam width of supercontinuum laser sources will increase and propagation efficiency will decrease. The initial spot size has an optimal value when spectral width and zenith angle are fixed.

Impact of nonlinear absorption on propagation of microwave in a plasma filled rectangular waveguide

In collisional and ponderomotive predominant regimes, the propagation of microwave in rectangular waveguide filled with collisional plasma is investigated numerically. The dominant mode is excited through an evacuated waveguide and then enters a similar and co-axis waveguide filled with plasma. In collisional predominant regime, the amplitude of electric field is oscillated along propagation path; outset of propagation path due to the electron-ion collision, the intensity oscillations are reduced. Afterward, under competition between the collisional nonlinearity and absorption, the intensity is increased, so the electron density peak is created in middle of waveguide. In ponderomotive predominant regime, the intensity is slowly decreased due to collision, so the electron density is ramped. Control parameters, like the frequency, input power, collision frequency, and background electron density are surveyed that can be used to control propagation characteristics of microwave. This method can be used to control heating of fusion plasma and accelerate charged particle.     

Slanting propagation of stochastic electromagnetic twist anisotropic Gaussian–Schell model beams in turbulent atmosphere

Based on the extended Huygens–Fresnel diffraction integral and the unified theory of coherence and polarization, the slanting propagation properties of stochastic electromagnetic twist anisotropic Gaussian–Schell model (ETAGSM) beams in turbulent atmosphere have been investigated. Both numerical calculation and physical interpretation are obtained. The influence of the atmospheric turbulence and the source parameters on the polarization distribution, intensity distribution and coherence distribution has been studied in great detail. The investigation reveals that slanting propagation can weaken the influence of atmospheric turbulence on the spectral properties of stochastic ETAGSM beams more obviously. It is also shown that we can modulate the spectral degree of polarization in the output plane especially in the far field by simply controlling the coherence, the spot width or the twisty properties of the source beams. The distribution of the spectral degree of polarization and cross-polarization of the beams in the output plane is also given out.     

A two-dimensional diffraction pattern sampling system for determining the optimum parameters of a matched spatial filter

The synthesis of a matched spatial filter based on holographic methods requires that the spatial frequency band in which the holographic fringe pattern with the best modulation is formed be tuned to the appropriate weighting at the Fourier transform plane of the spatial frequencies of the input object to be studied. For this purpose both the spectral intensity distribution of an input object at the Fourier transform plane and the intensity distribution of a reference beam at that plane must be accurately known beforehand. A two-dimensional diffraction pattern sampling system has been constructed which enables the Fourier spectral intensity distribution of the input object and the reference beam intensity distribution to be faithfully recorded. A preliminary experimental study shows the usefulness of this system.     

Test of a four plate neutron interferometer

A monolithically designed four plate perfect crystal interferometer was tested. The experimental results were compared to calculated interference patterns based on plane wave theory. Inside the four plate system are three independent interferometer loops which permit the definition of three effective phase shifts and determine the intensity modulation behind the interferometer crystal. Absorbing phase shifters cause a partial beam path detection and, therefore, influence the interference pattern by their individual location. Several features of multiplate interferometry and a modified phase echo system are discussed.Dedicated to Professor Dr. Ulrich Bonse on the occasion of his 60^th birthday

Mutual optical intensity propagation through non‐ideal mirrors

The mutual optical intensity (MOI) model is extended to include the propagation of partially coherent radiation through non‐ideal mirrors. The propagation of the MOI from the incident to the exit plane of the mirror is realised by local ray tracing. The effects of figure errors can be expressed as phase shifts obtained by either the phase projection approach or the direct path length method. Using the MOI model, the effects of figure errors are studied for diffraction‐limited cases using elliptical cylinder mirrors. Figure errors with low spatial frequencies can vary the intensity distribution, redistribute the local coherence function and distort the wavefront, but have no effect on the global degree of coherence. The MOI model is benchmarked against HYBRID and the multi‐electron Synchrotron Radiation Workshop (SRW) code. The results show that the MOI model gives accurate results under different coherence conditions of the beam. Other than intensity profiles, the MOI model can also provide the wavefront and the local coherence function at any location along the beamline. The capability of tuning the trade‐off between accuracy and efficiency makes the MOI model an ideal tool for beamline design and optimization.
