受海面波浪起伏、降雨和内波等海洋动力学过程的影响,浅水声速剖面的时间演化具有高度非线性,针对该问题提出使用改进的粒子滤波方法进行声速剖面序贯反演.该方法通过建立声速剖面的经验正交模型(EOF)以及描述声速剖面时间演化特征的状态空间模型,将声速剖面反演问题建模为状态跟踪问题,利用不敏粒子滤波(UPF:Uncented Particle Filter)算法进行声速剖面序贯反演。仿真试验通过实测声速剖面数据和先验地声参数信息产生接收声场数据,再利用模拟声场数据估计声速剖面的时间变化.结果表明,相比于集合卡尔曼滤波(EnKF:Ensemble Kalman Filter),在计算效率等同的情形下,该方法可以在状态参数的时间跳变点保持良好的跟踪性能,一定程度上克服了现有反演算法在跳变点发散的问题,可以有效提高声速剖面反演精度,尤其在声速剖面时变性较强时具有显著优势.

Highly confined hybrid spoof surface plasmons in ultrathin metal-dielectric heterostructures

Highly confined "spoof" surface plasmons (SSPs) are theoretically predicted to exist in a perforated metal film coated with a thin dielectric layer. Strong modes confinement results from the additional waveguiding by the layer. Spectral characteristics, field distribution, and lifetime of these SSPs are tunable by the holes' size and shape. SSPs exist both above and below the light line, offering two classes of applications: "perfect" far-field absorption and efficient emission into guided modes. It is experimentally shown that these plasmonlike modes can turn thin, weakly absorbing semiconductor films into perfect absorbers.     

Test of Mie-based single-scattering properties of non-spherical dust aerosols in radiative flux calculations

We simulate the single-scattering properties (SSPs) of dust aerosols with both spheroidal and spherical shapes at a wavelength of 0.55 μm for two refractive indices and four effective radii. Herein spheres are defined by preserving both projected area and volume of a non-spherical particle. It is shown that the relative errors of the spheres to approximate the spheroids are less than 1% in the extinction efficiency and single-scattering albedo, and less than 2% in the asymmetry factor. It is found that the scattering phase function of spheres agrees with spheroids better than the Henyey–Greenstein (HG) function for the scattering angle range of 0–90°. In the range of ～90–180°, the HG function is systematically smaller than the spheroidal scattering phase function while the spherical scattering phase function is smaller from ～90° to 145° but larger from ～145° to 180°.We examine the errors in reflectivity and absorptivity due to the use of SSPs of equivalent spheres and HG functions for dust aerosols. The reference calculation is based on the delta-DISORT-256-stream scheme using the SSPs of the spheroids. It is found that the errors are mainly caused by the use of the HG function instead of the SSPs for spheres. By examining the errors associated with the delta-four- and delta-two-stream schemes using various approximate SSPs of dust aerosols, we find that the errors related to the HG function dominate in the delta-four-stream results, while the errors related to the radiative transfer scheme dominate in the delta-two-stream calculations. We show that the relative errors in the global reflectivity due to the use of sphere SSPs are always less than 5%. We conclude that Mie-based SSPs of non-spherical dust aerosols are well suited in radiative flux calculations.     

Screening-Dependent Study of Superconductivity in 3d-Transition Metals Binary Alloys Superconductors

In the present article, we report the screening-dependent study of the superconducting state parameters （SSPs）, viz. electron-phonon coupling strength A, Coulomb pseudopotential μ^＊, transition temperature TC, isotope effect exponent a, and effective interaction strength No V of 3d-band transition metals binary alloys superconductors have been made extensively in the present work using a model potential formalism and employing the pseudo-alloy-atom （PAA） model for the first time. Five local field correction functions proposed by Hartree （H）, Taylor （T）, Ichimaru-Utsumi （IU）, Farid et al. （F） and Sarkar et al. （S） are used in the present investigation to study the screening influence on the aforesaid properties. The present results of the SSPs obtained from H-screening are found in qualitative agreement with the available experimental data wherever exist.     

Making metals transparent for white light by spoof surface plasmons

From first-principles computations we reveal that metallic gratings consisting of narrow slits may become transparent for extremely broad bandwidths under oblique incidence. This phenomenon can be explained by a concrete picture in which the incident wave drives free electrons on the conducting surfaces and part of the slit walls to form spoof surface plasmons (SSPs). The SSPs then propagate on the slit walls but are abruptly discontinued by the bottom edges to form oscillating charges that emit the transmitted wave. This picture explicitly demonstrates the conversion between light and SSPs and indicates clear guidelines for enhancing SSP excitation and propagation. Making structured metals transparent may lead to a variety of applications.     

浅海声速剖面与移动声源的跟踪定位

在水平非均匀分布的浅海环境中,针对移动声源跟踪时,声速剖面的变化会对声场产生影响,提出了一种利用集合卡尔曼滤波算法的声速剖面跟踪反演和移动声源跟踪定位的方法。首先,将声速剖面进行距离和深度的参数化表示,从而将对声速剖面的跟踪转化为对声速剖面前3阶经验正交函数系数的跟踪;其次,通过将声源状态信息和声速剖面信息表示为状态变量,而将垂直线列阵接收到的声场信息作为测量值建立状态-测量模型,然后利用集合卡尔曼滤波方法对模型状态变量进行跟踪。仿真结果得出:声速剖面跟踪反演的均方根误差和移动声源跟踪定位的绝对误差都非常小,对声源的跟踪定位精度很高。并且通过增加集合样本数、增加接收信号信噪比以及增加接收阵元数目都可以提高跟踪定位结果精度。最后,利用东海实验数据对本方法进行了验证。      

A New Method for Calculation of Single Seismic Phase of Cylindrically Multilayered Media Including Liquid Interlayer

A new method based on generalized reflection and transmission （R/T） coefficients method is proposed to calculate the single seismic phase （SSP） of cylindrically multilayered media including liquid interlayer. The use of normalization factors and normalized Lamé coefficients makes the algorithm stable numerically. Using the modified R/T matrices, we derive the iterative expressions of generalized R/T matrices, and by using the iterative relation we determine the SSP of each interface and the full waveforms. To show the superiority of this new approach for investigating of reflection and transmission properties of cylindrically multilayered media, we simulate the full waveforms and SSPs of cased hole model with annulus I （casing-cement interface） channelling （or, cross-flow）. The generalized reflection coefficient spectra and SSPs of interfaces obtained show the propagation mechanism of each component of full waveform clearly.

Effect of metal surface morphology on nano-structured patterns induced by a femtosecond laser pulse and its experimental verification

The effect of material surface morphology on the periodic subwavelength of nano-structures induced by a femtosecond(fs) laser was investigated systematically from the initial surface roughness, the different scratches, the pre-formed ripples, and the "layer-carving" technology experiments. The results of the comparative experiments indicate that the initial surface conditions of the target surface have no obvious effects on the spatial structured periods(SSPs) and the ripple orientation of the periodic nano-structures induced by a fs laser, which agreed well with the foretold present surface two-plasmon resonance(STPR) model. Furthermore, different shapes of nanogrids with high regularity and uniformity were obtained by fs-laser fabrication.     

Permutation approach to finite-alphabet stationary stochastic processes based on the duality between values and orderings

The duality between values and orderings is a powerful tool to discuss relationships between various information-theoretic measures and their permutation analogues for discrete-time finite-alphabet stationary stochastic processes (SSPs). Applying it to output processes of hidden Markov models with ergodic internal processes, we have shown in our previous work that the excess entropy and the transfer entropy rate coincide with their permutation analogues. In this paper, we discuss two permutation characterizations of the two measures for general ergodic SSPs not necessarily having the Markov property assumed in our previous work. In the first approach, we show that the excess entropy and the transfer entropy rate of an ergodic SSP can be obtained as the limits of permutation analogues of them for the N-th order approximation by hidden Markov models, respectively. In the second approach, we employ the modified permutation partition of the set of words which considers equalities of symbols in addition to permutations of words. We show that the excess entropy and the transfer entropy rate of an ergodic SSP are equal to their modified permutation analogues, respectively.     

Mid-infrared metamaterial based on perforated SiC membrane: engineering optical response using surface phonon polaritons

We theoretically and experimentally study electromagnetic properties of a novel mid-infrared metamaterial: optically thin silicon carbide (SiC) membrane perforated by an array of sub-wavelength holes. Giant absorption and transmission is found using Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) microscopy and explained by introducing a frequency-dependent effective permittivity ε_eff(ω) of the perforated film. The value of ε_eff(ω) is determined by the excitation of two distinct types of hole resonances: delocalized slow surface polaritons (SSPs) whose frequencies are largely determined by the array period, and a localized surface polariton (LSP) corresponding to the resonance of an isolated hole. Only SSPs are shown to modify ε_eff(ω) strongly enough to cause giant transmission and absorption. Because of the sub-wavelength period of the hole array, anomalous optical properties can be directly traced to surface polaritons, and their interpretation is not obscured by diffractive effects. Giant absorbance of this metamaterial can be utilized in designing highly efficient thermal radiation sources. PACS 41.20.Cv; 42.70.Qs; 71.45.Gm     

Superconducting state parameters of binary metallic glasses

Ashcroft’s empty core (EMC) model potential is used to study the superconducting state parameters (SSPs) viz. electron-phonon coupling strength λ, Coulomb pseudopotential μ*, transition temperature T _C , isotope effect exponent αand effective interaction strength N _O V of some binary metallic glasses based on the superconducting (S), conditional superconducting (S’) and non-superconducting (NS) elements of the periodic table. Five local field correction functions proposed by Hartree (H), Taylor (T), Ichimaru-Utsumi (IU), Farid et al. (F) and Sarkar et al. (S) are used for the first time with EMC potential in the present investigation to study the screening influence on the aforesaid properties. The T _C obtained from the H-local field correction function are in excellent agreement with available theoretical or experimental data. In the present computation, the use of the pseudo-alloy-atom model (PAA) was proposed and found successful. Present work results are in qualitative agreement with such earlier reported experimental values which confirm the superconducting phase in all metallic glasses. A strong dependency of the SSPs of the metallic glasses on the valence ‘Z’ is identified.      

经验正交函数与广义数值环境模式重构声速剖面的比较

本文利用Argo资料对经验正交函数(EOF)和GDEM模式拟合声速剖面的效果进行了比较。结果表明,两种方法都能较好地重构局地声速剖面。EOF方法的拟合精度与选取的EOF阶数有关,阶数越高,精度越高;GDEM模式的拟合精度介于EOF的前5阶到前10阶之间。EOF易受到样本数量和采样深度的限制,难以提供完整的声速剖面;而GDEM模式能够将剖面扩展到更深的深度,与仅有上层海洋采样数据的声速剖面相比,结合深海水团的信息可使拟合结果达到更高的精度。     

Tracking-positioning of sound speed profiles and moving acoustic source in shallow water

An ensemble Kalman filter(EnKF) approach is proposed to perform sequential tracking of water column sound speed profile(SSP) using a moving acoustic source. First,the SSPs are discretized in depth and range, and are expressed by the empirical orthogonal functions(EOFs). Second, the acoustic source state information and the first three orders of EOF coefficients are expressed as the state variable, and the acoustic field information received by the vertical line array are the measured values. Successively, the state variables and measured values are used to establish the state-measure model. Last, the EnKF is utilized to track the state variables. The simulation results show that the root mean square error of SSP and the absolute error of source are all small, and thus the acoustic source tracking-positioning has high accuracy. Moreover, increasing the number of sample collection, the signal-to-noise ratio and the number of receiving elements can improve the tracking-positioning results. The method is verified using the experimental data of the East China Sea.     

Sequential Parameter Estimation Using Modal Dispersion Curves in Shallow Water

Existing sequential parameter estimation methods use the acoustic pressure of a line array as observations. The modal dispersion curves are employed to estimate the sound speed profile(SSP) and geoacoustic parameters based on the ensemble Kalman filter. The warping transform is implemented to the signals received by a single hydrophone to obtain the dispersion curves. The experimental data are collected at a range-independent shallow water site in the South China Sea. The results indicate that the SSPs are well estimated and the geoacoustic parameters are also well determined. Comparisons of the observed and estimated modal dispersion curves show good agreement.

A dual model strategy to transfer multivariate calibration models for near-infrared spectral analysis

A dual-model method is proposed for correcting the calibration model. In the method, a primary calibration model is built using the spectra of a primary instrument and a correction model is established to describe the ratios between the predicted results from the spectra of different instruments. The prediction for the spectra of secondary instrument can be achieved by correcting the prediction of the primary model. A mathematical proof is described for the existence of the correction model, and the model is investigated using a near-infrared spectroscopic dataset of plant leaf samples measured on two instruments. The results show that a precise correction model is obtained and the model can be used to correct the predictions of the primary model. The correlation coefficients between the predicted and the reference ratios are above 0.9, and the prediction error after the correction is at the same level of the primary model.
