Weak mode coupling measurement with EMD-based method in polarization-maintaining fibers

The intensity and position of coupling points in polarization-maintaining fibers (PMFs) caused by force and twist can be effectively detected by Polarization Coupling Measurement (PCM). The sensitivity of detection will decrease due to the movement of scanning Michelson interferometer. To detect the weak coupling point, an EMD-based method is proposed in this paper. The experimental results illustrate that the EMD-based method can suppress the noise and improve the SNR effectively. The DWT method is also performed for a comparative study. The results show that the EMD-based method is effective and applicable for PCM and the coupling point can still be detected when the intensity is as weak as ? 70 dB.     

Detection of multi-frequency weak signals with adaptive stochastic resonance system

Aiming at the poor detection rate of multi-frequency weak signals under a strong background of noise, a novel method based on adaptive stochastic resonance (SR) theory is proposed in this paper. The optimal parameters can be obtained automatically via measurement by establishing an adaptive SR system model and using the reverse location method. After passing through the adaptive SR system, the spectrum values of all eight signals greatly improve, the largest spectrum value gain increases from 12.41 to 2033 when the frequency is 0.01?Hz, which is an improvement of a factor of 162.8, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain of the whole system is 10.3134?dB. Under the condition of different input noise intensities and signal amplitudes, the mean SNR of the system increases from –13.1136 to –2.7614?dB, which is a 78.9% increase, and the largest SNR gain is 13.4702?dB when the noise intensity D?=?1.2 and signal amplitude A?=?0.11. Compared to the single optimal spectrum value, when defining multiple optimum spectrum values as the SNR criterion, the detection sensitivity is less than 0.35 when the input noise intensity is between 0.5 and 2.5, and the sensitivity value is 6.29 times higher when D?=?2.5. The system successfully realizes the adaptive detection of twelve weak signals, and the SNR gain is 7.9743?dB, which improves the channel capacity of signal detection. The experimental results demonstrate the high efficiency and strong applicability of the system, improving the signal processing efficiency and speed of signal transmission.

Research and application of coupled two-dimensional asymmetric bistable stochastic resonance system

Considering that the vibration signal of rolling bearing is very weak and difficult to be extracted under the working environment noise, a two-dimensional asymmetric bistable system (TDAB) is proposed. The system is coupled by two systems, and the weak signal is enhanced by adjusting the control system (monostable system) to adjust the controlled system (asymmetric bistable system). First, under the condition of adiabatic approximation system, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is deduced, and analyzes the influence of different system parameters on the shape of potential function. Then the effects of each parameter on the SNR of the system are analyzed theoretically. Finally, combined with the adaptive intelligent algorithm, the parameters of the controlled system are optimized, and then the coupling coefficient and control system parameters are adjusted to obtain better system performance. The TDAB system obtained is applied to different bearing fault diagnosis and compared with different coupling systems. The experimental results show that the method can extract the characteristic frequency effectively and has good spectrum amplification performance and anti-noise capability. It is proved that the TDAB system can also have good detection effect in practical application.

Ultrasensitive pulsed, balanced homodyne detector: application to time-domain quantum measurements

A pulsed, balanced homodyne detector has been developed for precise measurement of the electric field quadratures of pulsed optical quantum states. A high level of common mode suppression (>85 dB) and low electronic noise (730 electrons per pulse) provide a signal-to-noise ratio of 14 dB for measurement of the quantum noise of individual pulses. Measurements at repetition rates as high as 1 MHz are possible. As a test, quantum tomography of the coherent state was performed, and the Wigner function and the density matrix were reconstructed with 99.5% fidelity. The detection system can be used for ultrarsensitive balanced detection in cw mode, e.g., for weak absorption measurements.     

Interference immunity of hydroacoustic power flux receive systems

Based on an analysis of experimental data and model simulations, the potential of small-size vector hydroacoustic receive systems measuring acoustic power flux (APF) are discussed in application to the detection of weak signals in the presence of ambient sea noise. It is shown that APF receivers are capable of measuring signal levels no less than 10–20 dB lower (depending on the signal-interference situation in the water area) than those measured by PRs. In order to extend the class of hydroacoustic systems whose potential can be correctly compared, it is proposed to modify the definition of interference immunity by introducing two separate qualifying notions: noise and interference.

An efficient background suppression ratio and output power using a novel fiber loop mirrors technique

This paper demontrates a novel configuration of a linear cavity erbium-doped fiber laser using fiber loop mirrors to effectively suppress the noise generated by the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE). A tunable filter is deployed in each fiber loop mirror to create a narrow passband for the selected mode. The fiber laser produces high background suppression ratio (BSR) of more than 75 dB from 1525 to 1565 nm at the output coupling of 95%. There is no residual ASE detected at the output to verify the effectiveness of the noise filtering in the proposed fiber laser. Low threshold powers are obtained in the range of 2.5–3 mW and the peak power variation is smaller than 1.6 dB.     

大随机相位误差下条带模式合成孔径激光雷达成像实验

为了探索大随机相位误差条件下合成孔径雷达(SAL)成像特点和规律,本文采用波长为1 550 nm的线性调频激光器建立了能够产生大的共模随机相位误差的条带模式SAL成像实验装置。利用此装置获得了不同目标回波强度下条带模式SAL成像实验数据,结合条带模式相位梯度自聚焦(PGA)多次迭代处理,获得了高分辨率SAL图像。实验发现在[-6. 45π,6. 45π]范围的大随机相位误差下,通过简单的距离压缩和方位匹配滤波,无法实现SAL图像聚焦,图像信噪比仅为3 dB。进一步采用PGA处理,就能很好地校正相位误差,得到聚焦良好的SAL图像,图像信噪比达到43 dB。实验还发现,当存在大共模随机相位误差时,PGA处理展现出非常强的鲁棒性,在回波弱到10-15W的情况下依然有效。在大相位误差存在的SAL系统(如机载SAL)中,PGA处理能有效消除相位误差,实现图像聚焦;另外,增大探测激光功率以提高成像数据信噪比,将有助于提升PGA处理效果。

Detection method for small and dim targets from a time series of images observed by a space-based optical detection system

To revisit cataloged space targets, a space-based optical detection system normally observes space targets continuously in a target tracking mode. In the time series of images produced by continuous observation, there are not only the target but also complicated background clutter (a mass of stars) and noises. The existing method only can detect the target with an signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) greater than 6 from these images. This paper presents a detection method for the target with an SNR less than 6. The proposed method consists of an SNR enhancement algorithm and an adaptive background and noise suppression algorithm. Simulation and analytical results show the proposed method detects the target submerged in noise and background clutter when SNR is equal to 3 and the detection probability and the false alarm probability both reach very high performance. This proposed method can help solve the problem of revisiting some weak cataloged space targets.
