南海北部浅海声场起伏及统计特性

水下声场的时间积分声强和峰值声强是声呐检测中的重要物理量,而海洋中的内波等动力学过程会造成声场强度的起伏。对南海北部浅海内波环境下定点声起伏实验数据分析,结合数值仿真,总结了试验海域近海底发射和近海底接收条件下内波引起接收信号强度起伏的统计特性.分析结果表明:接收信号的时间积分声强起伏小于峰值声强起伏;时间积分声强与峰值声强起伏的概率分布与对数正态分布较为接近.时间积分声强和峰值声强起伏大小与信号的频率有关,同一收发距离,中心频率650 Hz信号的声强起伏较中心频率310 Hz和375 Hz信号的声强起伏更为剧烈。对于同一频率,当海底较平坦时,声强起伏的闪烁指数随传播距离的增加而增大;当水深随传播距离逐渐变深时,声强起伏规律受内波和水深变化共同影响而更为复杂,闪烁指数先随传播距离增加而增大,之后又随传播距离的增加而逐渐变小.

Acoustic calibration of the signal propagation path in the shallow water

The propagation of low-frequency pulsed frequency-modulated signals in the shallow water (80m deep) is analyzed. The characteristics of the first five modes in the frequency range from 25 to 155 Hz are found by the correlation analysis of signal spectra. The group velocities and mode attenuation coefficients are used to reconstruct the acoustic characteristics of the sea bottom. A model of the sea bottom is developed, which allows one to formulate the model of transfer function along the signal propagation path.     

Long-range sound propagation in the shallow-water part of the Sea of Okhotsk

Experimental data on the long-range propagation of explosion-generated sound signals in the shallow-water northern part of the Sea of Okhotsk are analyzed. The propagation conditions in this region are characterized by a fully-developed underwater sound channel that captures the rays crossing the channel axis at angles lower than 3°. The experimental data reveal a small increase in the duration of the sound signal in proportion to the range with the proportionality factor lower than 0.00025 s/km. The frequency dependence of attenuation exhibits a pronounced minimum whose position on the frequency axis is close to the critical frequency of the first “water” mode (about 160 Hz). The increase in the attenuation coefficient at lower frequencies is confirmed by the field calculations performed with the wave-field computer code and is explained by the sound energy loss in the bottom sediments. At frequencies higher than 200 Hz, as in the Baltic Sea, the most probable reason for the attenuation to exceed the absorption in sea water is sound scattering by internal waves.     

Broadband time-reversing array retrofocusing in noisy environments

Acoustic time reversal is a promising technique for spatial and temporal focusing of sound in unknown environments. Acoustic time reversal can be implemented with an array of transducers that listens to a remote sound source and then transmits a time-reversed version of what was heard. In a noisy environment, the performance of such a time-reversing array (TRA) will be degraded because the array will receive and transmit noise, and the intended signal may be masked by ambient noise at the retrofocus location. This article presents formal results for the signal-to-noise ratio at the intended focus (SNRf) for TRAs that receive and send finite-duration broadband signals in noisy environments. When the noise is homogeneous and uncorrelated, and a broadcast power limitation sets the TRA's electronic amplification, the formal results can be simplified to an algebraic formula that includes the characteristics of the signal, the remote source, the TRA, and the noisy environment. Here, SNRf is found to be proportional to the product of the signal bandwidth and the duration of the signal pulse after propagation through the environment. Using parabolic-equation propagation simulations, the formal results for SNRf are illustrated for a shallow water environment at source-array ranges of 1 to 40 km and bandwidths from several tens of Hz to more than 500 Hz for a signal center frequency of 500 Hz. Shallow-water TRA noise rejection is predicted to be superior to that possible in free space because TRAs successfully exploit multipath-propagation.

Measurement of the parameters of a pulse propagation path in a medium with noise, dispersion, and selective absorption

A method of signal processing is proposed that allows one to determine the propagation time of pulsed signals, the dispersion, and the selective absorption in the medium when the shape of the pulses is substantially distorted under the effect of the two aforementioned factors and noise. The method is based on measuring the complex frequency response of the propagation path for a narrow frequency band within which the frequency response is governed by the desired parameters of the medium. To determine the parameters of the path from the data of acoustic measurements, both cepstral analysis and numerical differentiation are used. The data of numerical experiments are presented.     

Auditory filter shape derived from binaural masking experiments

The shape of the auditory filter was calculated from binaural masking experiments. Two different types of maskers were used in the study, a masker that was interaurally in phase at all frequencies (No), and a masker with an interaural phase difference of 0 below 500 Hz and of pi above 500 Hz. The test-signal frequency varied between 200 and 800 Hz, and the test signal was presented either monaurally (Sm) or binaurally in antiphase (S pi). By comparing the masked thresholds from the two experimental conditions, the following conclusion can be drawn: The threshold of the test signal is only affected by the masker phase within a narrow frequency range around the test frequency. Thus, for test-signal frequencies well above or below 500 Hz, no influence of the phase transition on the BMLD is observed, and normal masked thresholds for No and N pi maskers are obtained. For test frequencies around 500 Hz, the step in interaural phase difference leads to a decrease in the interaural correlation of the masker within the critical band around the test-signal frequency. This results in strong threshold changes for both monaural and binaural signals. A calculation of the auditory filter shape from the masked threshold values was performed under the assumption that the masked threshold is only dependent on the interaural cross correlation of the masker within the filter band. Using the formula of the EC theory for the relation between masker correlation and BMLD, the experimental data are well described by a trapezoidal filter with an equivalent rectangular bandwidth of 80 to 84 Hz.     

Binaural masking experiments using noise maskers with frequency-dependent interaural phase differences. II: Influence of frequency and interaural-phase uncertainty

This study investigates whether binaural signal detection is improved by the listener's previous knowledge about the interaural phase relations of masker and test signal. Binaural masked thresholds were measured for a 500-ms dichotic noise masker that had an interaural phase difference of 0 below 500 Hz and of pi above 500 Hz. The thresholds for two difference 20-ms test signals were determined within the same measurement using an interleaved adaptive 3-interval forced-choice (3IFC) procedure. In each 3IFC trial, both signals could occur with equal probability (uncertainty). The two signals differed in frequency and interaural phase in such a way that one signal always had a frequency above the masker edge frequency (500 Hz) and no interaural phase difference (So), whereas the other signal frequency was below 500 Hz and the interaural phase difference was pi (S pi). The frequencies of a signal pair remained fixed during the whole 3IFC track. These two signals thus lead to two different binaural conditions, i.e., NoS pi for the low-frequency signal and N pi So for the high-frequency signal. For comparison, binaural masked thresholds were measured with the same masker for fixed signal frequency and phase. The binaural masking level differences (BMLDs) resulting from the two experimental conditions show no significant difference. This indicates that the binaural system is able to apply different internal transformations or processing strategies simultaneously in different critical bands and even within the same critical band.     

Nonlinear optical responses due to exciton-phonon interactions in strongly coupled exciton-phonon systems

The excitonic nonlinear optical responses due to exciton-phonon interactions in strongly coupled exciton-phonon systems are investigated theoretically. It is shown that the influence of exciton-phonon interactions on the nonlinear optical absorptions and Kerr nonlinear coefficients is significant as the signal field frequency detuning from the exciton frequency approaches to the optical phonon frequency. How to manipulate the nonlinear optical responses by using the control fields is also presented.Received: 16 March 2004, Published online: 4 May 2004PACS: 42.50.Gy Effects of atomic coherence on propagation, absorption, and amplification of light; electromagnetically induced transparency and absorption - 42.50.Hz Strong-field excitation of optical transitions in quantum systems; multiphoton processes; dynamic Stark shift - 42.25.Bs Wave propagation, transmission and absorption - 72.80.Le Polymers; organic compounds (including organic semiconductors)
