光声池径向共振模式耦合系数理论分析

光声光谱法是基于红外吸收光谱原理的一种高灵敏度的微量气体探测技术。它使用声共振腔来实现微弱声信号的共振放大。通过调节激光的调制频率,当它等于腔的某个共振频率时,在腔内形成声驻波,而腔本身的作用相当于一声放大器。共振腔的放大作用取决于当前被激活的共振模式、腔的品质因素、声传感器的状态以及电磁辐射与腔共振模式的耦合作用。值得关注的是,红外激光相对于声共振腔的入射方位不同则激励产生的光声信号幅值也不同。采用理论推导与数值计算相结合的方法,以圆柱形光声池为例,研究了径向共振模式下耦合系数受激光入射方位的影响。研究表明,激光入射角在0～π/2范围变化时耦合系数存在2个零点和2个极大值：入射角为0或tan-1(0.859 2×2R/L)时,耦合系数为零而径向共振失效;入射角为tan-1(0.556 8×2R/L)或tan-1(2R/L)时,耦合系数极大而径向共振最强。此处R为池径而L为池长。结果可用于指导光声池结构优化设计与安装调试,增强光声法检测微量气体的信号幅值,提高检测灵敏度。     

High efficiency and broad bandwidth grating coupler between nanophotonic waveguide and fibre

A high efficiency and broad bandwidth grating coupler between a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) nanophotonic waveguide and fibre is designed and fabricated. Coupling efficiencies of 46\% and 25\% at a wavelength of 1.55~μ m are achieved by simulation and experiment, respectively. An optical 3~dB bandwidth of 45~nm from 1530~nm to 1575~nm is also obtained in experiment. Numerical calculation shows that a tolerance to fabrication error of 10~nm in etch depth is achievable. The measurement results indicate that the alignment error of ±2~μ m results in less than 1~dB additional coupling loss.     

Acoustic, thermal and flow processes in a water filled nanoporous glass by time-resolved optical spectroscopy

We present heterodyne detected transient grating measurements on water filled Vycor 7930 in the range of temperature 20-90 °C. This experimental investigation enables to measure the acoustic propagation, the average density variation due to the liquid flow and the thermal diffusion in this water filled nano-porous material. The data have been analyzed with the model of Pecker and Deresiewicz which is an extension of Biot model to account for the thermal effects. In the whole temperature range the data are qualitatively described by this hydrodynamic model that enables a meaningful insight of the different dynamic phenomena. The data analysis proves that the signal in the intermediate and long time-scale can be mainly addressed to the water dynamics inside the pores. We proved the existence of a peculiar interplay between the mass and the heat transport that produces a flow and back-flow process inside the nano-pores. During this process the solid and liquid dynamics have opposite phase as predicted by the Biot theory for the slow diffusive wave. Nevertheless, our experimental results confirm that transport of elastic energy (i.e. acoustic propagation), heat (i.e. thermal diffusion) and mass (i.e. liquid flow) in a liquid filled porous glass can be described according to hydrodynamic laws in spite of nanometric dimension of the pores. The data fitting, based on the hydrodynamic model, enables the extraction of several parameters of the water-Vycor system, even if some discrepancies appear when they are compared with values reported in the literature.

为了实现分布反馈式光纤激光传感器(DFB FL)大动态范围、稳定解调,建立了基于3×3耦合器的迈克尔逊干涉仪解调系统。对该系统所采用的对称解调算法(NPS)和反正切解调算法进行了深入研究。首先,介绍了基于3×3耦合器解调算法的原理及耦合器不对称时的调校方法。接着,对干涉仪所需最小非平衡路径长度的选取与系统强度噪声、激光器频率噪声的关系进行了分析。最后,针对NPS算法与反正切算法最大可解调信号幅度进行了分析对比,并研究了微分器对对称解调方法解调范围的影响。实验结果表明:NPS算法动态范围高于反正切算法,微分器的幅频特性不理想会减小解调动态范围。在采样频率为125 k Hz、信号频率为1 k Hz、干涉仪非平衡路径为100 m时,NPS算法与反正切算法的动态范围分别达到96 d B和90 d B。用解调前调校的方法,基于3×3耦合的解调方法动态范围大,能够实现稳定解调,满足工程应用要求。     

Effect of gold nanoparticle size on acoustic cavitation using chemical dosimetry method

When a liquid is irradiated with high intensities of ultrasound irradiation, acoustic cavitation occurs. Acoustic cavitation generates free radicals from the breakdown of water and other molecules. Cavitation can be fatal to cells and is utilized to destroy cancer tumors. The existence of particles in liquid provides nucleation sites for cavitation bubbles and leads to decrease the ultrasonic intensity threshold needed for cavitation onset. In the present investigation, the effect of gold nanoparticles with appropriate amount and size on the acoustic cavitation activity has been shown by determining hydroxyl radicals in terephthalic acid solutions containing 15, 20, 28 and 35 nm gold nanoparticles sizes by using 1 MHz low level ultrasound. The effect of sonication intensity in hydroxyl radical production was considered.The recorded fluorescence signal in terephthalic acid solutions containing gold nanoparticles was considerably higher than the terephthalic acid solutions without gold nanoparticles at different intensities of ultrasound irradiation. Also, the results showed that the recorded fluorescence signal intensity in terephthalic acid solution containing finer size of gold nanoparticles was lower than the terephthalic acid solutions containing larger size of gold nanoparticles. Acoustic cavitation in the presence of gold nanoparticles can be used as a way for improving therapeutic effects on the tumors.     

Comparison of sonochemiluminescence images using image analysis techniques and identification of acoustic pressure fields via simulation

One common method to determine the existence of cavitational activity in power ultrasonics systems is by capturing images of sonoluminescence (SL) or sonochemiluminescence (SCL) in a dark environment. Conventionally, the light emitted from SL or SCL was detected based on the number of photons. Though this method is effective, it could not identify the sonochemical zones of an ultrasonic systems. SL/SCL images, on the other hand, enable identification of ‘active’ sonochemical zones. However, these images often provide just qualitative data as the harvesting of light intensity data from the images is tedious and require high resolution images. In this work, we propose a new image analysis technique using pseudo-colouring images to quantify the SCL zones based on the intensities of the SCL images and followed by comparison of the active SCL zones with COMSOL simulated acoustic pressure zones.     

Acoustic metasurface for refracted wave manipulation

Here we present a design of a transmitted acoustic metasurface based on a single row of Helmholtz resonators with varying geometric parameters. The proposed metasurface can not only steer an acoustic beam as expected from the generalized Snell's law of refraction, but also exhibits various interesting properties and potential applications such as insulation of two quasi-intersecting transmitted sound waves, ultrasonic Bessel beam generator, frequency broadening effect of anomalous refraction and focusing.     

Acoustic modeling of perforated concrete using the dual porosity theory

Perforated concrete shows nowadays a high potential for many construction and building engineering applications. This work is devoted to the analysis of the acoustic properties of perforated concrete made from arlite lightweight aggregates. Concrete produced from these materials is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional materials and offers a higher durability, excellent strength-to-weight ratio and low cost. In particular, it is shown that the acoustic behavior of perforated concrete can be modeled using a dual porosity approach based on the knowledge of the non-acoustic properties of the matrix granular material and geometrical data. To this end, various non-perforated and perforated samples were prepared and characterized in an experimental test facility, their acoustic properties being determined through the transfer function impedance tube method. Experimental and estimated results related to the acoustic properties of a number of prepared specimens are presented, showing a good agreement. Results suggest that this approach is suitable for practical design of such materials as part of noise control systems.
