Influence of the Measurement Volume on the Phase Error in Phase Doppler Anemometry. Part 2: Analysis by extension of geometrical optics to the laser beam; Refractive mode operation

The influence of the measurement volume can be investigated by using extended geometrical optics, which is based on geometrical optics by including the amplitude and phase distribution in the laser beam. The dynamics in phase Doppler anemometry can be analysed, in addition to effects of the particle size-dependent detection volume. Extended geometrical optics has been developed as a powerful tool to investigate these influences for each order of light scattering separately. Phase errors caused by Gaussian-beam intensity distribution and the curvature of the wave fronts beyond the beam waist can easily be calculated. According to Part 1 (Reflective Mode Operation), the influence of the particle trajectories on measured phase and mass concentration is simulated for refractive mode operation.     

Investigation of the Flow Field in the Upper Part of a Cyclone with Laser and Phase Doppler Anemometry

The cyclone is a well known apparatus for separating particles out of a gas stream. With the modern laser diagnostic technologies of laser and phase Doppler anemometry (LDA and PDA), there is the potential to measure the flow and particle field inside the cyclone. The gas phase only measurements used micron‐sized oil seeding droplets, whereas the solid phase, chosen for the PDA particle size measurements, was limestone powder. To assess the possibility of measuring milled limestone particles with PDA, the measured size distribution was compared with those obtained by laser diffraction. The measurements inside the cyclone showed that the flow field in the upper part of the cyclone was different to that commonly thought. Therefore, the vertical height of the cyclone's vortex finder could be shortened without deterioration of the separation efficiency. The particles found in the hold‐up of the cyclone air flow were considerably larger than the average particle size in the feed pipe.

谐振腔光纤陀螺相位调制复位误差影响的研究

对数字相位斜波调制中2π复位误差对谐振腔光纤陀螺（R-FOG）的影响进行了研究.结果表明,相位复位误差将会导致R-FOG输出光强信号的波动,光强波动周期等于相位斜波复位周期.反射输出光强的波动在相位斜波的前后半周期明显不同,前后半周期输出光强平均值的差异与复位误差的大小和方向相关.提出了一种相位调制复位误差的消除方法,利用前后半周期平均光强差作误差信号,反馈控制相位调制通道增益,可实现复位误差的消除.

Influence of mode distortion on the transverse mode competition in large-mode-area amplifiers

In large mode area fiber amplifier, it is difficult to avoid the bend induced mode distortion. With the existence of mode distortion taken into account, a previous transverse mode competition model has been improved. Based on this model and the finite element difference-beam propagation method, the behaviors of bent mode competition are demonstrated and compared with the straight mode competition where the mode distortion is neglected, the comparison and quantitative results show that serious mode distortion can change the appearance of transverse mode competition in bent fiber amplifiers and even drastically degrade the amplifier performance.

Doppler limited laser spectroscopy on hafnium lines. Part II: Hyperfine structure of odd-parity levels

The hyperfine structure of selected odd-parity levels of the configurations 5d6s ^26p and 5d ^26s6p of I was studied in 10 lines lying in the red spectral region. Hyperfine spectra were obtained by the method of laser induced fluorescence in the plasma of a liquid nitrogen cooled hollow cathode discharge. The observed hyperfine structure constants A and B, together with results from earlier studies were analyzed by means of a parametric method. The interpretation has been carried out based on a refined multiconfigurational fine structure calculation including the main Rydberg series configurations mutually interacting. The set of fine structure parameters as well as the leading eigenvector percentages of levels relevant for this paper are given. The following single electron hfs parameters were deduced for : , ,, for the lowest configuration. Received: 16 November 1998 / Received in final form: 5 February 1999     

Influence of mode coupling on mode group diversity multiplexing in multimode fibers

In this paper, the influence of mode coupling on mode group diversity multiplexing (MGDM) in multimode fibers is investigated. It is found experimentally, that in step index fibers mode coupling is very strong among the lowest mode groups. It is confirmed that mode coupling in graded index fibers is negligible. Theoretical and numerical investigation of the system performance in strong mode coupling conditions, indicates need for greater separation of the lowest MGDM channels.     

Error sources for the analysis of Doppler broadening in positron annihilation spectra

Correction factors for systematic shifts of the second-order moment ² (linearly related toS ^–1) of the Doppler broadened annihilation gamma ray lineshape are presented. They allow to compare ² values obtained under different experimental conditions. The height of the observed peak, the number of keV/channels used and the number of channels over which the Doppler broadening dsstribution should be considered are bounded by the a priori settled relative uncertainty ofgs ².Fellow of the CIC, PciA Bs.

Towards beyond-1 GHz solution NMR: internal 2H lock operation in an external current mode

We have commenced a project to develop a beyond-1 GHz solution NMR spectrometer using a HTS coil. Due to a small residual resistance present in the HTS conductor and joint resistance between conductors, a stable persistent current sufficient for NMR measurements is unlikely. Therefore, a current has to be supplied to the HTS coil from an external power supply. The ripple of an external power supply causes a field fluctuation which must be stabilized. In this study we show results of NMR measurements using a 500-600 MHz NMR in such an external current mode: the field fluctuations are stabilized by an internal 2H lock. The field fluctuation from the external power supply comprises a major field fluctuation component at low frequencies, 0.003-0.005 Hz, and superimposed minor field ripples at 2 Hz and 50 Hz. The former limits the time interval of the internal 2H lock, while the latter generates sidebands in the NMR spectrum. Sideband and baseline noise are controlled by appropriate selection of the feedback loop parameters of the lock. The quality of the 1D-solution NMR spectra observed in external current mode is equivalent to that obtained in persistent current mode. However, if the feedback loop time is as short as the gradient pulse width, refocusing of the NMR signal is lost and NMR peaks disappear. The 2D-NOESY and the 2D-HSQC spectra of ubiquitin in an external current mode have been acquired. The quality of the 2D spectra is equivalent to those obtained in persistent current mode; i.e. the internal 2H lock operates stably over an experimental time interval of 40-50 min. To realize a beyond-1 GHz NMR spectrometer, further investigations must be made of (i) the long term stability of a DC power supply, (ii) the enhancement of the compensation field limit for the internal 2H lock, (iii) the extension of the helium refill time interval, and (iv) a method to correct the field homogeneity in the external current mode.     

Influence of reflections on mode competition in gyrotrons

A general theory is presented for studying the influence of reflections on mode competition in gyrotrons. Strong effect is found in the illustrative example: the coaxial cavity TE_28,16 gyrotron operating close to the optimal point in the general parameter spare. In some cases, the fixed-field approximation and the self-consistent approach lead to qualitatively different predictions, which emphasizes the need for self-consistent calculations in the final stage of design of a gyrotron     

Stabilisation of single-longitudinal mode operation in a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser

Detection of the reflected laser beam power from the mode-selecting etalon in a prelase-Q-switched laser provides an indicator of mode-frequency drifts. The detected signal can be used to control a piezo-mounted resonator mirror, thus correcting the drift and providing a means for maintaining single longitudinal mode operation on every shot.
