Exceptional surface wave as a condition of the maximum increase in the intensity of an evanescent electromagnetic wave in a transparent medium

It has been shown that the condition of the maximum increase in the intensity of TM or TE evanescent electromagnetic waves at the interface between two transparent insulators in a static electric (magnetic) field simultaneously determines the dispersion law of the corresponding exceptional surface wave for which the instantaneous energy flux through the interface is zero at any time.     

Recapturing lost evanescent power by tuning end face total internal reflection capable tunneling modes at a roughened fiber end face

We reveal that the overall evanescent wave (EW) power captured by an unclad multimode fiber employed in a sensing configuration is determined by the tunneling modes, not the guided modes. While enormous in strength, most of this power is inaccessible using traditional EW power enhancers. However, we found that by roughening the fiber end face, this supposedly lost power can be recaptured and thus can boost the detectable power level significantly. Intensive mode mixing events across various mode categories are proposed to interpret the observed phenomenon.     

Speech signal modification to increase intelligibility in noisy environments

The role of transient speech components on speech intelligibility was investigated. Speech was decomposed into two components--quasi-steady-state (QSS) and transient--using a set of time-varying filters whose center frequencies and bandwidths were controlled to identify the strongest formant components in speech. The relative energy and intelligibility of the QSS and transient components were compared to original speech. Most of the speech energy was in the QSS component, but this component had low intelligibility. The transient component had much lower energy but was almost as intelligible as the original speech, suggesting that the transient component included speech elements important to speech perception. A modified version of speech was produced by amplifying the transient component and recombining it with the original speech. The intelligibility of the modified speech in background noise was compared to that of the original speech, using a psychoacoustic procedure based on the modified rhyme protocol. Word recognition rates for the modified speech were significantly higher at low signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs), with minimal effect on intelligibility at higher SNRs. These results suggest that amplification of transient information may improve the intelligibility of speech in noise and that this improvement is more effective in severe noise conditions.     

Application of gyrotrons to high power millimeter wave Doppler radars

Gyrotrons are currently the highest power millimeter wave source. The power level currently available is more than sufficient for almost any radar application. However the fact that gyrotrons exist as free running oscillators is thought to restrict their application to Doppler radars. This paper shows that with enhanced data processing at the receiver, many Doppler radar functions become possible.     

More power to X‐rays: New developments in X‐ray spectroscopy

Recent developments in X‐ray spectroscopy in the last decade are reviewed. A specific emphasis is placed on displaying the strong natural connection between X‐ray spectroscopy and materials science. Brief explanations of several X‐ray spectroscopic methods are given. X‐ray spectroscopic instruments such as table‐top X‐ray sources are discussed in detail, whereas those employing synchrotron and other sources are briefly addressed. The spectroscopic methods and results from materials investigations are reviewed according to their positions in a 3D parameter space of time, length, and energy. New experimental measurements on atoms, molecules, nanomaterials, and bulk materials that include insulators, semiconductors, metals and magnetic materials using both static and time‐resolved methods are reviewed.     

All-optical 2R-regeneration and continuous wave to pulsed signal wavelength conversion based on fiber nonlinearity

In this paper, we propose a novel all-optical 2R (re-amplification and re-shaping) regenerator based on inducing nonlinear chirp over a continuous wave probe. The regenerator also performs continuous wave to pulsed wavelength conversion. The chirp is induced in a highly nonlinear fiber by the data modulated pulsed signal that is to be regenerated. Offset filtering is employed at the output of the highly nonlinear fiber to extract the frequencies generated as a result of chirping. The regenerator performance has been evaluated with the help of bit-error-rate plots and eye diagrams at different values of optical signal to noise ratios. Apart from re-shaping and re-amplification, inclusion of the regenerator results in better resilience to amplified spontaneous emission noise.     

Effect of external power supply to a shock layer on the shock wave structure

A physical model that describes the structure of a 1D shock wave in a gas containing a moving heat source is put forward. A stationary equation for the profile of a shock wave in a gas with an arbitrary-shape heat source that is at rest relative to this wave is derived. Analytical solutions to this equation make it possible to analyze the flow pattern in the case of external power supply.

Compact HE11 to surface wave converters for high power waveguide dummy loads

The HE₁₁ mode in corrugated circular waveguide can be converted to the EH₁₁ mode (surface wave) by a short, smooth-waveguide phase shift section followed by a short corrugation depth taper. Low-power measurements at 110 GHz in 1.25 in. aluminum waveguide demonstrated approximately 99% conversion with the proper phase shift length. As expected, the conversion efficiency versus length of the phase shifter varied periodically with the period of the TE₁₁ to TM₁₁ beat wavelength. Since the EH₁₁ surface wave is highly attenuated, this type of converter can be used effectively in a compact high-power dummy load.     

Internal tissue displacement measurement based on ultrasonic wave Doppler signal digital detection and its application to fetal movement monitoring

We have developed a fetal movement monitoring system based on small displacement measurement of internal tissues. When ultrasonic pulses are transmitted to the fetus, the reflected ultrasonic waves which have a Doppler frequency shift due to the fetal movements are detected by using an ultrasonic pulsed Doppler technique. In this paper, we propose a displacement measurement method for internal tissues which is based on the Doppler signal digital detection technique. In the method, the received ultrasonic RF signals are sampled with a sampling frequency of four times higher than the centre frequency of the ultrasonic waves; the Doppler frequency shift signals are derived using digital signal processing. From the detected signals, the internal displacements are estimated using the arc-tangent method. The basic algorithm of the detection method has already been used in the area of blood flow sensing, however, we apply the algorithm to the displacement measurement of internal tissues. The comparison between the proposed method and the conventional method is presented. The fetal movement quantitative monitoring system based on the method which has been constructed is shown.     

A scheme to enhance the conversion efficiency of slow‐wave electron cyclotron masers in the large signal approximation

Based on the anomalous Doppler effect, we propose a scheme to improve the practicability of slow‐wave electron cyclotron masers in the large signal approximation. This scheme simultaneously contains the tapered guiding magnetic field and tapered refractive index. Numerical calculations show that this scheme enables the conversion efficiency to reach a higher value within a shorter time than previous schemes. Besides, this scheme also works well in the cases of THz wave band and beam axial‐velocity spread.     

Focus of high-power microwaves with positive and negative zone plate to increase the receiving power in axial virtual cathode oscillator

We investigated an axial vircator, constructed in a pulsed power generator, called Chundoong, and simulated by a three-dimensional particle-in-cell simulation code, MAGIC. We attempted to increase the receiving power of generated microwaves by directing them at a desired focal point. To do so, a positive and negative zone plates (ZPs) are constructed at main frequency 3.5 GHz, and its focal length is 18.8 cm. The power generated from the virtual cathode is 0.72 GW, from which 24.6 kW is received by receiving antenna without a ZP. The receiving power increased significantly to 45.4 kW (92.6%) and 47.5 kW (84.5%) with positive and negative ZPs, respectively. In addition, both positive and negative ZPs have similar focusing properties for the generated microwaves. The ZP contributes significantly to increasing the receiving power. These findings might be useful for real applications to increase the receiving power at a desired focal point.
