脉冲频谱法水声换能器低频校准

一、引言 由于建造一个测试水声换能器的消声水池费用昂贵,而且消声效果很难低于1kHz,因此目前国内外的一般未消声水池几乎都用脉冲法测量。但在水池脉冲法校准水声换能器时,由于要求换能器信号达到稳态后才能进行,所以校准的频率范围受水池尺寸的很大限制。如一个5×7.5×7.5m~3的水池一般在4kHz频率以上进行校准。因此,水声换能器的低频校准,特别是水声换能器的低频发射响应都是在开阔水域中进行校准,如水库、港湾、海上。为此,我们研究了脉冲信号在水声测量中的应用问题。     

匹配场处理舰船辐射噪声级估计方法

针对水声信道对舰船辐射噪声声传播的影响,进而导致声源级测量结果不准确的问题,提出了基于匹配场处理的舰船辐射噪声级估计方法。在海洋环境噪声为空间均匀高斯白噪声的假设下,当海洋环境参数已知、信噪比满足一定要求时,匹配场处理能有效地给出被测噪声源的位置信息及该位置处的能量响应。从能量估计角度出发,推导了声源位置处匹配场输出响应的能量修正因子计算公式,从理论上证明了匹配场处理在被测声源位置处输出响应与能量修正因子的乘积为真实声源级的最小方差无偏(MVU)估计。该方法首先选择合适的声场计算模型计算拷贝场向量,对接收到的辐射噪声信号进行匹配场处理,得出接收信号级和被测声源位置;其次利用该位置所对应的拷贝场向量替换能量修正因子公式中的真实信道传输函数以计算能量修正因子的估计值;最后由接收信号级与能量修正因子估计值相乘得出舰船辐射噪声声源级的MVU估计。针对典型的浅海水声信道,进行了计算机仿真试验,结果表明:该方法能有效地进行舰船辐射噪声测量,当信噪比满足一定要求时,测量得到的声源级与实际声源级相比,误差小于1 dB。

空气中声源激发水下声场的水平纵向相关性

声场的空间相关特性是声场的重要特征,对水下探测、水声通讯等各种设备在实际海洋环境中应用的参数选择具有重要意义,是水声工程技术研究的重要基础之一。相比于水中声源激发声场的相关特性研究,空气中声源的相关研究很少。本文推导了空气中声源激发水下声场的水平纵向相关的简正波表达式,并通过数值仿真分析,比较了声源分别位于空气中和水中时水下声场的水平纵向相关特性。对南海海域进行的一次悬挂汽笛空气声源、海底水平阵接收信号海上实验获得的数据进行分析,结果表明:空气中声源位于不同距离时,其发射的声信号激发水下声场的水平纵向相关均存在明显的起伏结构,基于本文提出的空气中声源激发水下声场的水平纵向相关系数的简正波表达式能够较好地解释该现象.

A compact resonant Π-shaped photoacoustic cell with low window background for gas sensing

A resonant photoacoustic cell capable of detecting the traces of gases at an amplitude-modulation regime is represented. The cell is designed so as to minimize the window background for the cell operation at a selected acoustic resonance. A compact prototype cell (the volume of acoustic cavity of ~0.2 cm³, total cell weight of 3.5 g) adapted to the narrow diffraction-limited beam of near-infrared laser is produced and examined experimentally. The noise-associated measurement error and laser-initiated signals are studied as functions of modulation frequency. The background signal and useful response to light absorption by the gas are analyzed in measurements of absorption for ammonia traces in nitrogen flow with the help of a pigtailed DFB laser diode operated near a wavelength of 1.53 µm. The performance of absorption detection and gas-leak sensing for the prototype operated at the second longitudinal acoustic resonance (the resonance frequency of ~4.38 kHz, Q-factor of ~13.9) is estimated. The noise-equivalent absorption normalized to laser-beam power, and detection bandwidth is ~1.44 × 10^?9 cm^?1 W Hz^?1/2. The amplitude of the window-background signal is equivalent to an absorption coefficient of ~2.82 × 10^?7 cm^?1.     

Experimental Study of a Diode-Pumped Nd:YAG Slab Laser Amplifier

We demonstrate a laser-diode-pumped Nd:YAG slab amplifier with dimensions of 7×35×138.2 mm. The fluorescence is homogeneously distributed in the Nd:YAG amplifier, and a stored energy of 3.2 J can be achieved at 1,500 W pump power. For a repetition frequency of 200 Hz, 25 μJ injection polarized seed light, and 1,500 W pump power, the small signal gain reaches 12.66. At the same repetition frequency, 0.4 mJ with 27 ns bandwidth of injected seed-light energy and a 6×26 mm aperture, the output energy reaches 1.071 J. The extraction efficiency is 33.46% after four-pass amplification. An energy amplification from millijoules to joules is realized for the injected laser beam.     

Photolytical XeF(C–A) laser amplifier of femtosecond optical pulses: gain measurements and pump efficiency

Gain characteristics of a photolytically driven XeF(C–A) laser amplifier are studied experimentally in the unsaturated amplification regime. The gaseous active medium is optically pumped by vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) radiation from two large-area multichannel surface discharges initiated along opposite walls of the amplifier chamber. A total gain factor of 10² is obtained for the ultrashort optical pulses under multipass amplification in the active volume of 40?×?18?×?4 cm³ dimensions with a spatially homogeneous gain distribution. Spectral measurements reveal a good conservation of the seed pulse spectrum. Small-signal gain reaching 2×10^-3 cm^-1 is observed for the blue-green seed pulses of 150 fs duration, as well as for the continuous seed radiation at 488 nm. The obtained gain values, being compared with the gain calculated for the measured pumping radiation power, indicate that the quantum yield of the XeF(B) formation as a result of the XeF₂ photodissociation is high and approaches unity within the spectral band of the XeF₂ VUV photodissociation continuum.

We present a simple and compact design for an all-solid-state laser amplifier system which can output 9.43-kHz 630-ps, 3.5-W pulse trains under 20 W absorbed pumping power. The excellent matching between the repetition of its seed source and the fluorescence lifetime of the amplifying medium makes it quiet efficient for the four-pass amplifier to be pumped in cw mode without need of any synchronization device between the oscillator and the amplifier. The entire setup just covers an area of 55 × 25 cm^2. The output average power fluctuation is less than ±1.5% within 10min and 3% within 6h.     

Amplifying Characteristics of Er3+/Yb3+ Co-Doped Parallel-Cascaded Double Microring Resonators

Abstract

In terms of the coupled mode theory, formulas of the transfer function and the output power gain are presented for an Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ co-doped parallel-cascaded double microring resonator. Around the pump wavelength of 0.98 μm and the central signal wavelength of 1.55 μm, analysis is performed for the dependence of the output power gain on the pump power, signal power, dopant concentration, amplitude coupling ratio, and ring spacing. The results show that the output power gain of this device is much larger than that of the Er³⁺/Yb³⁺ co-doped waveguide amplifier with identical waveguide lengths. In the case of the amplitude coupling ratio κ = 0.064, ring spacing L₂ = 10π R, pump power P_p0 = 8 mW, signal power P_s0 = 37.2 μW, Er³⁺ ion concentration N_Er = 1 × 26 m^?3, and Yb³⁺ ion concentration N_Yb = 3 × 27 m^?3, the device can produce higher signal power gain from 11.9 dB even up to 70 dB.     

A miniaturized prototype of resonant banana-shaped photoacoustic cell for gas sensing

A resonant photoacoustic cell intended for laser-spectroscopy gas sensing is represented. This cell is a miniature imitation of a macro-scale banana-shaped cell developed previously. The parameters, which specify the cavity shape, are chosen so as not only to provide optimal cell operation at a selected acoustic resonance but also to reduce substantially the cell sizes. A miniaturized prototype cell (the volume of acoustic cavity of ∼5 mm³) adapted to the narrow diffraction-limited beam of near-infrared laser is produced and examined experimentally. The noise-associated measurement error and laser-initiated signals are studied as functions of modulation frequency. The background signal and the useful response to light absorption by the gas are analyzed in measurements of absorption for ammonia in nitrogen flow with the help of a pigtailed DFB laser diode oscillated near a wavelength of 1.53 μm. The performance of prototype operation at the second longitudinal acoustic resonance (the resonance frequency of ∼32.9 kHz, Q-factor of ∼16.3) is estimated. The noise-limited minimal detectable absorption normalized to laser-beam power and detection bandwidth is ∼8.07 × 10⁻⁸ cm⁻¹ W Hz^−1/2. The amplitude of the background signal is equivalent to an absorption coefficient of ∼2.51 × 10⁻⁵ cm⁻¹. Advantages and drawbacks of the cell prototype are discussed. Despite low absorption-sensing performance, the produced miniaturized cell prototype shows a good capability of gas-leak detection.     

Simultaneous detection of trace gases using multiplexed tunable diode lasers and a photoacoustic cell containing a cantilever microphone

We report what we believe to be a novel demonstration of simultaneous detection of multiple trace gases by near-IR tunable diode laser photoacoustic spectroscopy using a cell containing a cantilever microphone. Simultaneous detection of carbon monoxide (CO), ethyne (C₂H₂), methane (CH₄) and combined carbon monoxide/carbon dioxide (CO+CO₂) in nitrogen-based gas mixtures was achieved by modulation frequency division multiplexing the outputs of four near-IR tunable diode lasers. Normalized noise-equivalent absorption coefficients of 3.4×10^?9, 3.6×10^?9 and 1.4×10^?9 cm^?1?W?Hz^?1/2 were obtained for the simultaneous detection of CO, C₂H₂ and CH₄ at atmospheric pressure. These corresponded to noise-equivalent detection limits of 249.6 ppmv (CO), 1.5 ppmv (C₂H₂) and 293.7 ppmv (CH₄) respectively over a measurement period of 2.6 s at the relevant laser power. The performance of the system was not influenced by the number of lasers deployed, the main source of noise arising from ambient acoustic effects. The results confirm that small-volume photoacoustic cells can be used with low optical power tunable diode lasers for rapid simultaneous detection of trace gases with high sensitivity and specificity.     

Analysis of bolometer operation near the superconducting transition edge using microwave readout

The results of pioneering experiments on using a new method of microwave recording the bolometric response from a metal film near its superconducting transition edge are analyzed. Experiments are carried out at 4.5 K using a thin-film niobium absorber with a critical temperature of 6.7 K. The validity of the adopted electrodynamic model is confirmed. The chip contains a miniature antenna tuned to approximately 600 GHz and integrated into a planar resonator with a frequency of 6 GHz, which is weakly coupled with a pump line. Based on the experimental and model data, the presence of electrothermal feedback is shown, stability criteria are found, and I–V characteristics at microwaves are obtained. Bulk experimental samples with an absorber measuring 5 μm × 2.5 μm × 15 nm are fabricated with optical photolithography. At an amplifier channel noise of 3 K, the optical sensitivity of a prototype receiver can be expected at a level of 10^?15 W/Hz^1/2.
