单边噪声源环境下的格林函数提取

对单边噪声源环境下空间中存在散射体时的格林函数到达时间结构提取展开了实验性研究。通过对位于沙滩上的传声器上记录的海浪噪声进行互相关处理,成功提取出两传声器间的格林函数到达时间结构。到达时间结构中观察到伪散射路径,并且伪散射路径在幅值上远高于散射路径。针对上述现象给出了理论及仿真解释:当传声器对受噪声源单边照射时,广义光学定理失效,伪散射路径将会出现;同时,由于伪散射路径由所有方向噪声源贡献,散射路径仅有稳相点附近声源贡献,因此伪散射路径在幅值上可能高于散射路径。结果表明,在单边噪声源环境下,基于互相关技术可以提取伪散射路径。伪散射路径的短时稳定提取可以为散射体无源成像提供更多信息,在海洋声学、地震学等领域具有潜在应用价值。      

Doppler velocimetry for photodetector frequency response measurement

A new method for photodetector frequency response characterization based on laser Doppler velocimetry techniques is reported. The vibration of a commercial loudspeaker in a Michelson-type interferometer is used as a Doppler signal source. Frequencies in the range 0 to 240 kHz are produced but they may be easily extended to the MHz range. The whole measurement is performed in a short time compared to those from usual noise sources. A pin-photodiode is studied to illustrate the method.     

Dynamic two-frequency interferometry for small displacement measurements

Two-frequency interferometry for small displacement measurements is examined from a practical point of view. A laser beam that is modulated sinusoidally in intensity by an acousto-optic Bragg cell provides signal and reference optical waves to produce dynamic interference. The output signal of a photodetector receiving the interference is composed of optical homodyne and heterodyne components. The heterodyne component carries a vibrational displacement to be detected on its amplitude. A sinusoidal vibration amplitude is measured down to 0.5 nm.     

Supercontinuum laser illumination applied to traditional optical flow imaging methods

The schlieren method of refractive flow visualization traditionally requires non-coherent illumination in order to avoid problems with coherent artifact noise and binary cutoff by the knife-edge. Related shadowgraph and Wollaston-prism schlieren-interferometer methods, however, work well with light sources of high spatial coherence. Here we apply a supercontinuum laser as a light source for these methods, providing spatially coherent white-light illumination. Excellent results are obtained with shadowgraphy and schlieren-interferometry, but the schlieren method still requires a modified cutoff in place of the traditional knife-edge for laser illumination. Once they become widely available, supercontinuum lasers will find frequent use in these optical instruments, especially the schlieren-interferometer.     

Active noise control in ducts: some physical insights

The mechanisms of active noise control in a duct are examined. Acoustical measurements are used to determine directly the acoustic power flow associated with both primary and secondary sources as a function of secondary to primary source strength ratio and volume velocity relative phase angles. A complete analytical model is also developed which allows calculation of individual source power flows and total downstream power flow as a function of source strengths and relative phase angles for finite size sources. It is evaluated for monopole and dual secondary source arrangements, but can be extended easily to any number of secondary sources. The model considers a finite size primary source in the plane of the duct cross section and evaluates the effect that the secondary sources have on the primary source power output. Measurements of individual source output powers and total downstream acoustic powers agree well with theoretical predictions. It is demonstrated that, for the monopole system, sound attenuation is achieved primarily by suppression of the primary source acoustic power output, with a little remaining power being absorbed by the secondary source. For the dual secondary source system, it is shown that the power is primarily absorbed by the secondary sources, but that, at phase and amplitude values slightly different to optimum, noise reduction is achieved by a combination of energy absorption and primary source power suppression. The analysis also demonstrates the dependence of the achievable noise reduction on secondary source size and location with respect to the primary source.     

Measurement of pulse width and amplitude jitter noises of gigahertz optical pulse trains by time-domain demodulation

We propose a technique for measuring both pulse width and amplitude jitter noises of high-repetition-rate optical pulse trains and the cross correlation between these noises as well. The technique is based on time-domain amplitude demodulation of three harmonic components of the detected pulse train. We applied this technique to characterize noises of a gigahertz optical pulse train generated by an actively mode-locked Er-doped fiber laser. Correlation between pulse width jitter and pulse amplitude jitter was observed at low frequencies in this laser. Unlike relaxation oscillation noise, low-frequency noise is free from pulse energy jitter. Owing to its ability to measure pulse width jitter in addition to amplitude and phase jitters, this technique is of great interest for characterizing noises of a wide variety of optical pulse train sources.     

Multi-mode sound transmission in ducts with flow

Exhaust mufflers, large exhaust stacks, and turbofan engines are common examples of ducted noise. The most useful measure of the sound produced by these noise sources is the sound power transmitted along the duct. When airflow is present, sound power flow can no longer be uniquely determined from the usual measurements of acoustic pressure and particle velocity.One approach to sound power determination from in-duct pressure measurement, and the one discussed in this paper, is to predict the relationship between the sound power and pressure based upon an assumed mode amplitude distribution. This paper investigates the relationship between acoustic pressure and power for a family of idealized source distributions of arbitrary temporal and spatial order. Incoherent monopole and dipole sources uniformly distributed over a duct cross-section can be obtained as special cases. This paper covers the sensitivity of the pressure-power relationship to source multipole order, frequency and, in particular, flow speed. It is shown that the introduction of flow in a hard-walled duct can have a substantial effect on the behavior of the pressure-power relationship for certain source distributions. Preliminary experimental results in a no-flow facility are presented in order to verify some of the main results.

Introducing speckle noise maps for Laser Vibrometry

When coherent light scatters from a surface, which is rough on the scale of the wavelength of the light, a speckle pattern is produced. The Laser Vibrometer measures target vibration velocity in the direction of the incident laser beam and typically samples a region of a speckle pattern on its photodetector. Target motions can cause the speckle pattern to change on the photodetector surface, particularly when target motions are non-normal to the direction of the laser beam. This speckle motion modulates the Doppler signal and adds noise to the demodulated output signal. Periodic target motions can cause the speckle noise to become pseudo-random and produce harmonic peaks, with the same fundamental frequency as the genuine target vibrations, which can be indistinguishable from the genuine target vibrations. Typical speckle noise levels are generally considered to be low-level, but they have not so far been adequately quantified. This paper reports preliminary results quantifying speckle noise levels using controlled experimental configurations incorporating periodic in-plane and tilt target motions. Working with commercial Laser Vibrometers, various target surface finishes and treatments are considered and speckle noise maps are produced for each configuration. For a tilting surface, speckle noise has been quantified at approximately 1 μm s^?1/deg s^?1 while, for surfaces with in-plane motion, the sensitivity to speckle noise has been estimated pessimistically at 0.1% of the in-plane velocity. Ultimately, these speckle noise maps will form a valuable practical resource for the Laser Vibrometer user.     

Ventilation duct with concurrent acoustic feed-forward and decentralised structural feedback active control

This paper presents theoretical and experimental work on concurrent active noise and vibration control for a ventilation duct. The active noise control system is used to reduce the air-borne noise radiated via the duct outlet whereas the active vibration control system is used to both reduce the structure-borne noise radiated by the duct wall and to minimise the structural feed-through effect that reduces the effectiveness of the active noise control system. An elemental model based on structural mobility functions and acoustic impedance functions has been developed to investigate the principal effects and limitations of feed-forward active noise control and decentralised velocity feedback vibration control. The principal simulation results have been contrasted and validated with measurements taken on a laboratory duct set-up, equipped with an active noise control system and a decentralised vibration control system. Both simulations and experimental results show that the air-borne noise radiated from the duct outlet can be significantly attenuated using the feed-forward active noise control. In the presence of structure-borne noise the performance of the active noise control system is impaired by a structure-borne feed-through effect. Also the sound radiation from the duct wall is increased. In this case, if the active noise control is combined with a concurrent active vibration control system, the sound radiation by the duct outlet is further reduced and the sound radiation from the duct wall at low frequencies reduces noticeably.

Quick-response film photodetector of high-power laser radiation based on the optical rectification effect

The efficiency of conversion of high-power laser radiation to an electric signal based on the optical rectification effect in nanographite films is studied experimentally. The amplitude of the signal is found to significantly depend on the size of the film, as well as on the length and arrangement of measuring electrodes. The maximal sensitivity of the photodetector (above 500 mV/MW at a wavelength of 1064 nm) consisting of the film with electrodes and operating without an external power supply and add-on components is shown to be achieved when the size of the film is comparable to the laser beam diameter. The sensitivity of the photodetector is studied under the condition when a nanosecond beam from a pulsed laser scans the surface of the film in two mutually perpendicular directions. The local sensitivity increases near the free ends of the photodetector. It is shown that the nanographite detector and a similar photodetector made of a polished silicon wafer have radically different parameters.

Stroboscopic holographic interferometry of vibration with space-variant phase

A method employing pulsed illumination for the holographic analysis of vibration with space-variant phase is described. Superimposition of two stroboscopically recorded interference patterns to get the amplitude and the phase of vibration at the intersections of fringes is suggested. Contour maps of these two quantities over the entire object surface can then be prepared by interpolation. Detailed solutions are presented for single and double frequency vibrations.     

Consistency of nonlinear system response to complex drive signals

The consistency of a nonlinear system's response to a repeated complex waveform drive signal is an important consideration in classical and quantum systems as diverse as lasers, neuronal networks, and manufacturing plants. We show from a consideration of different characteristic waveforms that there is typically an optimal drive amplitude for the most consistent response; internal noise sources dominate for small amplitude driving while deterministic system nonlinearity reduces consistency for large amplitudes. We test this general concept and its measurement experimentally and numerically on the specific example of a laser system.

Active attenuation of noise: The Chelsea dipole

Methods of active attenuation of noise, that is to cancel the noise from a source by the addition of further noise, include the method of destructive interference. A number of configurations of active attenuators are possible and a new system which originated in work at Chelsea College has been developed further. This system employs two spaced secondary sources in a duct energized in antiphase, with the microphone situated centrally between them. The radiation from the secondary sources cancels at the microphone, which, ideally, responds only to the travelling wave in the duct. The microphone output is phase shifted by 90° and then amplitude compensated by a transfer function $\text{1}\text{2}$ sin ($\text{kl}\text{2}$) before being fed to the secondary sources, in order to bring its downstream radiation into antiphase with the travelling noise wave. There is radiation both upstream and downstream from the secondary sources, but the microphone is isolated from the resulting upstream standing waves and time delays are not required, unlike the systems employing the microphone remote from the attenuator. The action of the attenuator has been investigated on pure tones and bands of noise with a range of attenuator centre frequencies.
