Dependence on average atomic number of coherent/incoherent scattering intensity ratios in compounds

We have investigated the dependence on average atomic number of coherent/incoherent scattering intensity ratios in molecules. A Am-241 source is used to provide γ-rays. Several compounds having different average atomic numbers were used as scatterers. Scattering γ-rays were counted by a Si(Li) detector (FWHM at ). We observed an increase in the coherent/incoherent scattering intensity ratios with increasing average atomic number.     

Comparative characteristics of coherent and incoherent microwave scattering in dense inhomogeneous layers

Results of experiments on measuring forward scattering of waves in the range 88–100 GHz propagating in dense inhomogeneous layers consisting of grainy polymer materials are presented. Experiments were carried out with coherent and incoherent radiation. A comparison of the results demonstrates that incoherent radiation averages the depolarization effects and is preferable in comparison with coherent radiation for diagnostics of dense inhomogeneous materials. __________ Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 9, pp. 11–14, September, 2006.     

An experimental study on cross-section ratio of coherent to incoherent scattering for 145 keV incident gamma photons

The coherent (Rayleigh) to incoherent (Compton) scattering cross-section ratio of elements, in the range 6 ≤ Z ≤ 82, are determined experimentally for 145 keV incident gamma photons. An HPGe (High purity germanium) semiconductor detector is employed, at scattering angle of 50°, 70° and 90°, to record the spectra originating from interactions of incident gamma photons with the target under investigation. The intensity ratio of Rayleigh to Compton scattered peaks observed in the recorded spectra, and corrected for photo-peak efficiency of gamma detector and absorption of photons in the target and air, along with the other required parameters provides the differential cross-section ratio. The measured values of cross-section ratio are found to agree with theoretical predictions (corresponding to 4.939, 6.704 and 8.264 Å⁻¹ photon momentum transfer) based upon non-relativistic form factor, relativistic form factor, modified form factor and S-matrix theory.     

浅海宽带简正模相干/非相干能量比值特征匹配的源深估计

无源声源深度估计一直是水声领域的一个难题。针对浅海波导中低频宽带脉冲声源深度估计问题,提出了利用单水听器接收信号中多阶简正模相干项能量与非相干项能量比值的特征匹配处理方法,不仅消除了声源未知激发谱的影响,而且由于在预先估计声源距离基础上实现对声源深度的独立估计,运算量小。同时,由于利用了实测数据与拷贝声场中具有相同简正模贡献的相干能量特征进行匹配,参数估计具有较高的稳健性。首先通过向量线性相关数学理论,在理想波导条件下讨论了简正模数目与源深估计单值性的关系,证明了仅利用两阶简正模时源深估计具有多值性,而声场含有三阶以上简正模时源深估计存在唯一解。进一步的仿真分析表明,当信噪比高于0 dB时源深估计结果的平均误差整体上在5 m之内。分析了水文参数、沉积层声学参数及声源距离失配时方法的鲁棒性。最后,利用浅海垂直阵采集的低频宽带脉冲实验数据对方法进行验证,声源深度估计结果绝对误差小于5 m的概率在79.1%以上。方法可推广应用于浅海水平或垂直基阵对低频宽带声源的深度估计。     

群体雾粒子散射模型及散射角谱研究

如何提高制导精度是研制制导系统所要关心的问题,在有雾的天气情况下,群体雾粒子的散射是影响制导精度的重要因素之一。在Mie理论的基础上,从单个球形粒子的散射效率因子出发,得到了1～6μm群体粒子的散射系数。根据布格尔定律导出了群体粒子对激光束的散射光强表达式,然后在接收器视场角范围内,模拟了散射光强的分布情况。结果表明,沿着激光束的传播方向,散射光强存在比较大的起伏,并且越靠近接收器的视场中轴线,散射光强有减少的趋势。

Light scattering under nanofocusing: Towards coherent nanoscopies

We investigate light scattering under nanofocusing in the context of coherent spectroscopy. We discuss the different mechanisms that may enhance the signal in extinction and how these depend on nanofocusing as well as on the probed system. We find that nanofocusing may improve the detection sensitivity by orders of magnitude under realistic conditions, enabling scanning implementations of coherent spectroscopy at the nanoscale.     

The polarization property and irradiance distribution of incoherent and coherent Gaussian beam combinations

Based on the beam coherence-polarization (BCP) matrix, the polarization property of coherent and incoherent Gaussian beam combinations is studied in detail. The general expressions for the degree of polarization P of the resulting beam in case of incoherent and coherent combinations are derived. It is shown that P is dependent on the incoherent or coherent combination, propagation distance, separation, azimuth of the polarization plane and numbers of beamlets in general. The irradiance distribution of the resulting beam for the coherent cases depends on the azimuth of the polarization plane of beamlets. However, for the incoherent case it does not.     

Reconstruction evaluation of intensity ratio distribution for extraction of absorber information in homogeneous scattering medium

To extract effectively the absorber information embedded in a homogeneous scattering medium in the transmission geometry, a method of taking the ratio of the output intensity in a measured medium to that in a reference medium is evaluated. The reference medium is a virtual one with the same scattering coefficient distribution as that of the measured medium, but with a uniform absorption coefficient distribution. Numerical results show that the proposed method can enhance the output signal by extracting the ballistic-like component. We also apply a backprojection method to reconstruct the single absorber using many pairs of input and output intensity ratio distributions. The reconstruction position error and the quantitative measurement of absorption coefficient are discussed.     

Enhanced coherent emission aided by an incoherent process

Enhanced emission of a coherent signal generated by the nonlinear process omega(f)+omega(b)-omega(p) has been found in an incoherently pumped four-level system. It is shown that finite (large) atomic coherence can be generated by (incoherent) pumping of the intermediate states, which removes the destructive interference effects that otherwise inhibit coherent emission of signals.

Stimulated photon echo under excitation by incoherent and coherent pulses

Excitation of stimulated photon echo by two incoherent pulses obtained from one source and one coherent pulse is considered. The dependence of the average amplitude of stimulated echo on the parameters of noise pulses is determined. The results can be used for analysis of the corresponding algorithm of excitation of stimulated spin echo, as well as in calculations of characteristics of the signal processors based on the phenomena of photon and spin echoes.     

Longitudinal intensity distribution near the focus produced by light through scattering media

Speckle pattern is formed when coherent light passes through scattering media. It has been demonstrated that after appropriately optimizing the phase of the incident light, a bright focal spot in the target point can be obtained for the case that the light passes through the scattering medium. However, until now the focused intensity distribution near the focus seems unclear. In this paper we experimentally investigate some factors influencing the longitudinal intensity distribution near the focus in details. It is shown that the desired longitudinal focused intensity distribution can be obtained by optimizing the incident light. The results may have potential applications in particle manipulation and laser processing, etc.

Light intensity fluctuations on a semiconductor microsphere calculated by boundary element method

For a semiconductor microsphere irradiated by monochromatic unpolarized plane light wave, the governing Maxwell equations, which are transformed into Schrödinger equations through Debye potentials, are solved by the boundary element method, one of the integral formulations. The resultant light intensities on the particle surface show noise-like fluctuations depending on various parameters such as the light wavelength, the particle size, the numerical surface element size, etc. The more the numerical surface elements used, the greater the noise extent of the intensities. We think that this noise is related to the fluctuations happening in the real world and that they are somehow made into shape numerically by Green’s function and surface integration. One can consider a numerical surface element as a crystalline or amorphous unit cell. Actually a few experiments with photon energy conversion devices give the consistent results with ours that the energy conversion efficiency is on the increase with the decreasing size of unit cells. It is thus proposed here that this noise from numerical computation may be modeled to be the real thermal fluctuations of photon density on particle surface for photovoltaic cells, photocatalysts, photoluminescence devices, etc.     

Transitions from coherent to incoherent state induced by anharmonic interaction

A non-linear stochastic oscillator driven by a coherent radiation field is studied. Analog simulation is shown to support the arguments of theory on the specific role of the fluctuation-dissipation process and/or anharmonic interaction in making valid a treatment in terms of a Boltzmann-like distribution of energy. The results of analog simulation show that at certain values of the excitation frequency a superimposition of a coherent and an incoherent state may appear thereby opening the way to a more exhaustive theoretical treatment of this problem.
