Study on forward stimulated Brillouin scattering in a backward pumped fiber Raman amplifier

Strong multi-order forward stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) has been observed in the backward pumped S-band distributed fiber Raman amplifier (PRA) with tunable narrow signal source (less than 100 MHz) when the pump power of FRA reached the SBS threshold. This does not obey the theory that only weak backward SBS lines exist according to the conservation of energy and momentum and the wave vector selected rule. This is because the sound waveguide characteristic weakens the wave vector rule, and the forward transmitted sound waveguide Brillouin scattering lines are generated and amplified in FRA. When the pump power is further increased, 11 orders of SBS lines and comb-like profile are observed. For the excited line, the frequency is 197.2296 THz and the power is 0 dBm. The even order SBS lines are stronger than odd order SBS lines, the power of the 2nd and 4th order SBS lines is 1.75 dBm, which is 16 dB higher than that of the 1st and 3rd order SBS lines. The odd order SBS lines are named Brillouin R     

Underwater sound scattering characteristics of three paralleling flexible cylindrical shells

To investigate the sound scattering characteristics of three paralleling flexible cylindrical shells with the plane incident wave,a mathematical model is established with Fourier series expansion method which involves the flexible vibration,the sound radiation and the rigid scattering of each shell and their coupling through the sound field.With the model,the difference between the flexible radiation term and the rigid scattering term of the sound field of three combined cylindrical shells is calculated and analyzed,as well as the scattering strength of the shells.The results demonstrate that the flexible radiation term can be ignored for ka_2 40(f 3000 Hz),and for the instance of ka_2 30(f 2400 Hz),the scattering strength error without the flexible radiation term is less than 3 dB.The scattering strength of three shells is approximately equal to the scattering strength of single shell while the incident angle is 0°or vicinity angle,whereas the scattering strength of multi-shells is higher than that of single shell for the distinct incident angle.The mathematical model in this paper could be easily extended to solve the problems of transmission and reflection of random number of resistant cylindrical shells.     

Analysis of electromagnetic pulses generated from ultrashort laser irradiation of solid targets at CLAPA

Electromagnetic pulses(EMPs)produced by the interaction of a TW femtosecond laser with solid targets at the Compact Laser Plasma Accelerator(CLAPA)are measured and interpreted.The statistical results confirm that the intensities of the EMPs are closely related to both target material and thickness.The signal of the titanium target is more abundant than that of the copper target with the same thickness,and the intensity of EMP is positively correlated with the target thickness for aluminium foil.With the boosted EMP radiations,the energy of accelerated protons is also simultaneously enhanced.In addition,EMPs emitted from the front of the target exceed those from the rear,which are also pertinent to the specific target position.The resonant waveforms in the target chamber are analyzed using the fast Fourier transform,and the local resonance and the attenuation lead to changes of the frequency spectra of EMPs with variation of detecting positions,which is well supported by the modeling results.The findings are beneficial to gaining insight into the mechanism of EMP propagation in a typical target chamber and providing more information for EMP shielding design.     

Multiple scattering and modeling of laser in fog

When a laser is transmitted in fog, and the water droplets will scatter and absorb the laser, which affects the intensity of the laser transmission and the accuracy of radar detection. Therefore, it is of great significance to study the laser transmission in the fog. At present, the main method of calculating the scattering and attenuation characteristics of fog is based on the radiation transmission theory, which is realized by a large number of numerical calculations or physical simulation methods, which takes time and cannot meet the requirements for obtaining the fast and accurate results. Therefore, in this paper established are a new laser forward attenuation model and backward attenuation model in low visibility fog. It is found that in low visibility environments, the results calculated by the Monte Carlo method are more accurate than those from most of the existing forward attenuation models. For the cases of 0.86-μm, 1.06-μm, 1.315-μm, 10.6-μm typical lasers incident on different fogs with different visibilities, a backscatter model is established, the error between the fitting result and the calculation result is analyzed, the backward attenuation fitting parameters of the new model are tested, and a more accurate fitting result is obtained.     

Multi-hybrid method for investigation of EM scattering from inhomogeneous object above a dielectric rough surface

An iterative strategy combining Kirchhoff approximation(KA) with the hybrid finite element-boundary integral(FE-BI) method is presented in this paper to study the interactions between the inhomogeneous object and the underlying rough surface.KA is applied to study scattering from underlying rough surfaces,whereas FE-BI deals with scattering from the above target.Both two methods use updated excitation sources.Huygens equivalence principle and an iterative strategy are employed to consider the multi-scattering effects.This hybrid FE-BI-KA scheme is an improved and generalized version of previous hybrid Kirchhoff approximation-method of moments(KA-MoM).This newly presented hybrid method has the following advantages:(1) the feasibility of modeling multi-scale scattering problems(large scale underlying surface and small scale target);(2) low memory requirement as in hybrid KA-MoM;(3) the ability to deal with scattering from inhomogeneous(including coated or layered) scatterers above rough surfaces.The numerical results are given to evaluate the accuracy of the multi-hybrid technique;the computing time and memory requirements consumed in specific numerical simulation of FE-BI-KA are compared with those of MoM.The convergence performance is analyzed by studying the iteration number variation caused by related parameters.Then bistatic scattering from inhomogeneous object of different configurations above dielectric Gaussian rough surface is calculated and the influences of dielectric compositions and surface roughness on the scattering pattern are discussed.

Calculation of three-dimensional acoustic scattering from Gaussian rough under-ice surface using the Kirchhoff approximation method with modified reflection coefficient

The Kirchhoff approximation with a modified reflection coefficient is used to calculate the three-dimensional acoustic scattering of a Gaussian rough under-ice surface.The concept of a local statistical average reflection coefficient of an under-ice surface is proposed in the calculation model.The scattered sound field of a two-dimensional Gaussian rough under-ice surface is divided into coherent scattering and incoherent scattering.A formula is derived for the scattering coefficient of each scattering component,and the three-dimensional scattering intensity is obtained.The relationships between the scattering intensity and(ⅰ) the root-meansquare height of the Gaussian rough under-ice surface,(ⅱ) the angle of incidence,and(ⅲ) the sound frequency are analyzed.The scattering intensity of a Gaussian rough under-ice surface is measured in a laboratory water tank,and the calculation results of the theoretical model are verified.The experimental results are compared with those of the theoretical model using(ⅰ) the present local statistical average reflection coefficient of an under-ice surface and(ⅱ) the mirror reflection coefficient of an under-ice surface from the literature.The calculation results of the model using the local statistical average reflection coefficient agree well with the experimental results.     

State-to-state dynamics of F(~2P) + HO(~2Π) → O(~3P) + HF(~1Σ~+)reaction on 1~3A〞 potential energy surface

State-to-state time-dependent quantum dynamics calculations are carried out to study F(~2P) + HO(~2Π) → O(~3P) +HF(~1Σ~+) reaction on 1~3A〞 ground potential energy surface(PES). The vibrationally resolved reaction probabilities and the total integral cross section agree well with the previous results. Due to the heavy–light–heavy(HLH) system and the large exoergicity, the obvious vibrational inversion is found in a state-resolved integral cross section. The total differential cross section is found to be forward–backward scattering biased with strong oscillations at energy lower than a threshold of 0.10 eV, which is the indication of the indirect complex-forming mechanism. When the collision energy increases to greater than 0.10 eV, the angular distribution of the product becomes a strong forward scattering, and almost all the products are distributed at θ_t = 0°. This forward-peaked distribution can be attributed to the larger J partial waves and the property of the F atom itself, which make this reaction a direct abstraction process. The state-resolved differential cross sections are basically forward-backward symmetric for v' = 0, 1, and 2 at a collision energy of 0.07 eV; for a collision energy of 0.30 eV,it changes from backward/sideward scattering to forward peaked as v increasing from 0 to 3. These results indicate that the contribution of differential cross sections with more highly vibrational excited states to the total differential cross sections is principal, which further verifies the vibrational inversion in the products.     

Laser Tracking and Pointing at a Target with Stimulated Brillouin Scattering

Laser tracking and pointing at a simulated moving target in atmosphere 1.27 km away is realized experimentally,in which stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) phase conjugation technology and velocity compensation mirror are used. Only if the angle between the SBS phase conjugation laser and the illumination laser is smaller than the atmosphere isoplanatic angle ψo, is the wave-front aberration of laser beam produced by atmospheric turbulence compensated for in real time. This experiment was carried out with horizontal ranges 1.27km at 50m height above the ground, and Nd: YA G lasers are used. By changing the angle of a velocity compensation mirror reflecting the SBS phase conjugation laser to the simulated target, simulated targets with different moving velocities are tracked and pointed by the laser beam. The spot and energy distribution of illumination laser spot and SBS phase conjugation laser are recorded. The energy back to target is up to 75 mJ. The SBS phase conjugation laser spot shows that it is focused at the simulated moving target within a small area.     

Theoretical studies on particle shape classification based on simultaneous small forward angle light scattering and aerodynamic sizing

Particle shape contributes to understanding the physical and chemical processes of the atmosphere and better ascertaining the origins and chemical compositions of the particles. The particle shape can be classified by the aspect ratio,which can be estimated through the asymmetry factor measured with angularly resolved light scattering. An experimental method of obtaining the asymmetry factor based on simultaneous small forward angle light scattering and aerodynamic size measurements is described briefly. The near forward scattering intensity signals of three detectors in the azimuthal angles at 120?offset are calculated using the methods of T-matrix and discrete dipole approximation. Prolate spheroid particles with different aspect ratios are used as the shape models with the assumption that the symmetry axis is parallel to the flow axis and perpendicular to the incident light. The relations between the asymmetry factor and the optical size and aerodynamic size at various equivalent sizes, refractive indices, and mass densities are discussed in this paper. The numerically calculated results indicate that an elongated particle may be classified at diameter larger than 1.0 μm, and may not be distinguished from a sphere at diameter less than 0.5 μm. It is estimated that the lowest detected aspect ratio is around 1.5:1 in consideration of the experimental errors.     

In-plane bistatic backward scattering from seabottom with randomly inhomogeneous sediment and rough interface

1 Introduction Backward scattering of sound due to sediment is the main source of shallow waterreverberation. In order to predict the reverberation or detect sediment properties frommeasured reverberation data, a reasonable in-plane bistatic backward scattering (BBS)model is essential. The scattering can be caused by the roughness of water-sediment in-terface or by inhomogeneities within the volume of sediment. A great deal of researchhas been done on sediment backscattering, most of which h…

Forward scatter target strength extraction in a marine environment (L)

A 48 m rail with a moving receiver was used to measure forward scattering from a spherical shell lying on the bottom in the Gulf of Mexico. The target was mid-way between the source and rail, on a line from the source bisecting the rail. The major obstacle to the measurement of forward scattering is the much stronger source signal which overlaps the scattered signal in space and time. Here, forward scattered target strength is obtained by processing the received signals using a wavenumber filter to remove the incident wave. The result compares favorably to that obtained from numerical predictions.
