门控分幅相机增益衰减特性

 分析了分幅相机增益衰减的理论模型,利用Mathematica软件模拟了增益随电脉冲传输时间指数衰减的曲线图。根据增益衰减理论,设计了测量增益衰减系数的实验。实验结果表明：分幅相机的平均增益按0.024 9 mm^-1指数衰减,电脉冲沿微带线传输的电压幅值衰减系数平均为0.003 56 mm^-1。得出实验数据中单条微带上增益并不完全符合增益指数衰减规律,而是在最后一帧图的增益有所回升,分析得出这是由电脉冲在微带末端连接处的反射引起的。经多次测量,电脉冲在微带线末端的平均值反射比为24.2％。对增益衰减状况的改善提出建议：采用良导体制作传输线,选取介质损耗小和绝缘性能好的材料作为填充介质,合理设计MCP微带线的厚度、微带宽度及微带与输出面的间距则可减小分幅相机增益的衰减。

衰减匹配的超声Barker码激励方法

为增加超声穿透高声衰减介质的能力,提出了一种衰减匹配的超声Barker码激励方法。基于换能器高斯响应与材料非频散线性衰减的假设,得到了Barker码激励的信号模型,求解旁瓣抑制滤波后脉冲压缩的信噪比表达式可知,该方法仅需要根据材料衰减特性与轴向分辨率的要求,分别调整Barker码的中心频率与时长,便可以获得更高的信噪比。取衰减系数为1.4 Np/(MHz·cm)、厚度为5 cm的橡胶为试样进行验证。当与方波激励方法的轴向分辨率相近时,衰减匹配的Barker码激励方法比传统Barker码激励方法的信噪比增益提高接近5 dB;当牺牲一定轴向分辨率时,信噪比增益提高接近11 dB。结果表明,衰减匹配的Barker码激励方法可以降低依频率衰减对脉冲压缩的影响,有效提高衰减回波的信噪比。      

Time delay enhancement in stimulated-Brillouin-scattering-based slow-light systems

We show a simple method of time delay enhancement in slow-light systems based on the effect of stimulated Brillouin scattering. The method is based on the reduction of the absolute Brillouin gain by a loss produced by an additional pump laser. With this method we achieved pulse delays of nearly 100 ns in a standard single-mode fiber. In the presented approach the delay or acceleration of optical signals is decoupled from their amplification or attenuation, which allows the adaptation of the pulse amplitudes to the given application.

Time domain attenuation estimation method from ultrasonic backscattered signals

Ultrasonic attenuation is important not only as a parameter for characterizing tissue but also for compensating other parameters that are used to classify tissues. Several techniques have been explored for estimating ultrasonic attenuation from backscattered signals. In the present study, a technique is developed to estimate the local ultrasonic attenuation coefficient by analyzing the time domain backscattered signal. The proposed method incorporates an objective function that combines the diffraction pattern of the source/receiver with the attenuation slope in an integral equation. The technique was assessed through simulations and validated through experiments with a tissue mimicking phantom and fresh rabbit liver samples. The attenuation values estimated using the proposed technique were compared with the attenuation estimated using insertion loss measurements. For a data block size of 15 pulse lengths axially and 15 beamwidths laterally, the mean attenuation estimates from the tissue mimicking phantoms were within 10% of the estimates using insertion loss measurements. With a data block size of 20 pulse lengths axially and 20 beamwidths laterally, the error in the attenuation values estimated from the liver samples were within 10% of the attenuation values estimated from the insertion loss measurements.     

Acoustic characteristics of composite materials as acoustic window at oblique incidence of sound waves

This paper described a method for estimating the acoustic characteristics of composite materials at oblique incidence of sound waves. Composite materials are used as acoustic windows of SONAR to protect the internal sensors and electronic parts from water. In this study the composite material of glass reinforced plastic and polyurethane was used as the specimen. As the acoustic characteristics the velocities and attenuation coefficients of sound waves through the composite material were measured in the high frequency range. The insertion loss was also measured as a function of incident angle at 200 and 76 kHz, respectively. The attenuation coefficients in the low frequency range were estimated by interpolating the measured attenuation in the high frequency range with power-law form fitting. A four-medium layer model was proposed to estimate the insertion loss of composite materials at oblique incidence of sound waves in the low frequency range. The four-medium layer model well described the experimentally measured insertion loss at the high frequency range. It suggests that the insertion loss of the composite materials can be well estimated as a function of incident angle in the low frequency range.

An efficient approach to characterizing and calculating carrier loss due to heating and barrier height variation invertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers

It is important to determine quantitatively the internal carrier loss arising from heating and barrier height variation in a vertical-cavity surface-emitting quantum well laser (VCSEL). However, it is generally difficult to realize this goal using purely theoretical formulas due to difficulty in deriving the parameters relating to the quantum well structure. In this paper, we describe an efficient approach to characterizing and calculating the carrier loss due to the heating and the barrier height change in the VCSEL. In the method, the thermal carrier loss mechanism is combined with gain measurement and calculation. The carrier loss is re-characterized in a calculable form by constructing the threshold current and gain detuning-related loss current using the measured gain data and then substituting them for the quantum well-related parameters in the formula. The result can be expressed as a product of an exponential weight factor linked to the barrier height change and the difference between the threshold current and gain detuning-related loss current. The gain variation at cavity frequency due to thermal carrier loss and gain detuning processes is measured by using an AlInGaAs--AlGaAs VCSEL structure. This work provides a useful approach to analysing threshold and loss properties of the VCSEL, particularly, gain offset design for high temperature operation of VCSELs.

A new compensation method for temperature-dependent gain tilt in L-band EDFA by adjusting only inserted VOA

A novel compensation method for temperature-dependent gain tilt of L-band erbium-doped fiber amplifier (L-EDFA) is proposed, in which the attenuation between stages is the only parameter to be adjusted. A simple linear relationship between the attenuation and the erbium fiber coil temperature was derived theoretically. When the erbium fiber coil temperature cycles from 26 to 70℃, the gain tilt variation less than 0.3 dB is achieved experimentally by adjusting only the pre-inserted variable optical attenuator (VOA).

Optical and acoustic monitoring of bubble cloud dynamics at a tissue-fluid interface in ultrasound tissue erosion

Short, high-intensity ultrasound pulses have the ability to achieve localized, clearly demarcated erosion in soft tissue at a tissue-fluid interface. The primary mechanism for ultrasound tissue erosion is believed to be acoustic cavitation. To monitor the cavitating bubble cloud generated at a tissue-fluid interface, an optical attenuation method was used to record the intensity loss of transmitted light through bubbles. Optical attenuation was only detected when a bubble cloud was seen using high speed imaging. The light attenuation signals correlated well with a temporally changing acoustic backscatter which is an excellent indicator for tissue erosion. This correlation provides additional evidence that the cavitating bubble cloud is essential for ultrasound tissue erosion. The bubble cloud collapse cycle and bubble dissolution time were studied using the optical attenuation signals. The collapse cycle of the bubble cloud generated by a high intensity ultrasound pulse of 4-14 micros was approximately 40-300 micros depending on the acoustic parameters. The dissolution time of the residual bubbles was tens of ms long. This study of bubble dynamics may provide further insight into previous ultrasound tissue erosion results.
