Whole field measurements of acousto-optic refraction

A new effect of acousto-optic refraction has been detected. The effect is observed in optical images of sound fields and has the appearance of bright fringes in the images. The fringes are shown to identify contours of equal refraction angle. Since the angle of optical refraction induced by a sound field is—under certain conditions—proportional to the spatial gradient or slope of the acoustic pressure, the name “iso-slope fringes” is applied. This new effect can be used to make optical whole field measurements of sound fields with significantly better spatial resolution than is possible with current measurement methods. The new effect may be of particular interest to investigators analyzing non-linear acoustic propagation phenomena.

Calibration of optical tweezers based on acousto-optic deflector and field programmable gate array

Accurate calibrations of stiffness and position are crucial to the quantitative measurement with optical tweezers. In this paper, we present a new calibration scheme for optical tweezers including stiffness and position calibrations. In our system, acousto-optic deflectors (AODs) are used as laser beam manipulating component. The AODs are controlled by a field programmable gate array (FPGA) connected to a computer using universal serial bus (USB) communication mode. Our results agree well with the present theory and other experimental results.     

Analysis of the deviation of the diffracted beams caused by acousto-optic tunable filter in multispectral imaging

The deviation caused by acousto-optic tunable filter(AOTF) diffraction in multispectral imaging is analyzed through derivation calculus of the deviation angle.The rotatory polarization of acousto-optic crystal is taken into account in this analysis.The relationships between the polar angle of the incident and the diffracted beams are acquired by using the momentum-matching condition.During the diffraction of the incident beams,far more deviations are induced.     

The diffracted sound field from the transition region of an axisymmetric body in water

Understanding the physical features of the diffracted sound field on the surface of an axisymmetric body is important for predicting the self-noise of a sonar mounted on an underwater platform.The diffracted sound field from the transition region of an axisymmetric body was calculated by the geometrical theory of diffraction.The diffraction ray between the source point and the receiving point on the surface of an axisymmetric body was calculated by using the dynamic programming method.Based on the diffracted sound field,a simulation scheme for the noise correlation of the conformal array was presented.It was shown that the normalized pressure of the diffracted sound field from the transition region reduced with the increases of the frequency and the curvature of the ray.The flow noises of two models were compared and a rather optimum fore-body geometric shape was given.Furthermore,it was shown that the correlation of the flow noise in the low frequencies was stronger than that in the high frequencies.And the flow noise received by the acoustic array on the curved surface had a stronger correlation than that on the head plane at the designed center frequency,which is important for sonar system design.     

垂直天线阵观测信息反演大气折射率廓线

利用垂直天线阵观测得到的电磁场信息建立目标泛函,从电磁波抛物方程传播模式出发,利用偏微分方程最优控制中的伴随方法研究大气折射率廓线反演问题. 针对反演的不适定性,采用正则化思想对目标泛函进行改造,并根据变分同化思想构建反演迭代格式. 数值模拟试验验证了理论算法的可行性. 由于采用分步Fourier算法求解电磁波抛物方程传播模式和伴随模式过程中产生的固有误差随着传播距离的增加累积增大,反演廓线在传播距离较远时不能收敛于观测廓线. 在这种情况下,引入较好的初猜廓线和背景场可以有效地改进反演结果. 关键词： 大气折射率 电磁波抛物方程 变分伴随 正则化     

Stray field measurements of flow displacement distributions without pulsed field gradients

The probability distribution P(zeta) of diffusive and advective molecular displacements is determined using a fixed field gradient (FFG) pulse sequence, on fluid flow through a Bentheimer sandstone, in the grossly inhomogeneous stray field of a super-conducting magnet. Two decades of q-space are scanned with stimulated echoes, using the gradient of the stray field and variable encoding times delta. The strength of the gradient permits the use of short encoding times, which is desirable for limiting the distorting effects produced by flow displacements through susceptibility induced field inhomogeneities. CPMG and CP echo trains are used to refocus separately the real and imaginary parts of the stimulated echo, for experimental efficiency.     

排列形状及阵列数目对纳米导线阵列场发射性能的影响

为了进一步研究纳米导线阵列的排列形状以及阵列数目对其场发射行为的影响，利用镜像悬浮球模型对正方形以及六边形排列的纳米导线阵列的场发射行为进行计算与模拟，近似的得到纳米导线阵列的场发射增强因子满足如下的变化趋势：β=h/ρ(1/1+W)+1/2(1/1+W)²+3,其中h为纳米导线的高度，ρ为纳米导线的半径，W是以R为自变量的函数，R为纳米导线阵列的间距.结果显示纳米导线阵列的排列形状对其场发射性能的影响较小，而阵列间距则是影响场发射性能的关键因素：当R<R₀时，场发射增强因子随着阵列间距的减小而急剧减小；当R>R₀时，场发射增强因子基本不变，其中R₀为导线阵列场发射的最佳间距.进一步研究表明改变纳米导线阵列的数目基本不会改变阵列的场发射性能随间距的变化趋势，但是随着阵列数目的增加，R₀会有一定程度的减小，场发射增强因子也会降低. 关键词： 纳米导线 场发射 增强因子 阵列数目     

The determination of electron density profiles from refraction measurements obtained using holographic interferometry

The angles a fourth-harmonic holographic interferometer probing beam is refracted upon passing through a neodymium laser-produced plasma have been measured by varying the focus during reconstruction of the hologram. A method (not requiring the numerical inversion of an integral equation) for using such refraction measurements to give the plasma electron density profile is shown to produce a profile in agreement with that obtained from the phase information on the reconstructed in-focus interferogram.     

Influence of field evaporation treatment on the field emission properties of carbon nanotubes array

Field evaporation was used in the post-fabrication treatment of a carbon nanotubes (CNTs) array and effectively modified the CNTs morphology in favor of the field emission under a moderate field. After the field evaporation treatment, the uniformity of the emission site distribution improved but the onset voltage rose. Using the Fowler-Nordheim theory, the actual onset field and the evaporation field around the CNT were calculated to be −4.6-5 and 9-12 V/nm, respectively. These values are close to those obtained from the individual CNT samples. The above results have provided an alternative to modify the configuration of an array sample and demonstrated the feasibility of tackling the problem of the disparity in the field emission capability of different CNTs in an array.

Plane-wave analysis of the near field of light diffracted by ultrasound.

Although the phenomenon of light diffraction by ultrasound has been studied very extensively during the last 40 years, almost all investigations were concentrated on the individual far field (Fraunhofer) diffraction orders. In the present paper, the basic theory is developed for studying the near field (Fresnel region) of light diffracted by an arbitrary plane ultrasonic wave and the fundamental periodicity properties are stated. The general plane-wave theory of Raman-Nath has been taken as a starting point. From the analysis, the near field of the diffracted light is seen to be highly sensitive to variations of the ultrasonic amplitude and this feature provides a useful technique for observing weak ultrasonic waves. In particular, for the specific case of Raman-Nath-type diffraction, a procedure is presented allowing the reconstruction of the time waveform of the ultrasonic wave from the diffracted light intensity signal.

Analysis of the field diffracted by a cylinder with a perforated coating

The direct and inverse problems of plane wave diffraction by a circular cylinder with a perforated coating are investigated. In the context of the direct problem, it is shown that a coated cylinder causes a more intense diffraction field than that produced by a smooth cylinder. In the context of the inverse problem, the parameters of the perforated coating are chosen so as to ensure a given level of suppression for the field diffracted by the cylinder.     

A fast signal subspace approach for the determination of absolute levels from phased microphone array measurements

Phased microphone arrays are used in a variety of applications for the estimation of acoustic source location and spectra. The popular conventional delay-and-sum beamforming methods used with such arrays suffer from inaccurate estimations of absolute source levels and in some cases also from low resolution. Deconvolution approaches such as DAMAS have better performance, but require high computational effort. A fast beamforming method is proposed that can be used in conjunction with a phased microphone array in applications with focus on the correct quantitative estimation of acoustic source spectra. This method bases on an eigenvalue decomposition of the cross spectral matrix of microphone signals and uses the eigenvalues from the signal subspace to estimate absolute source levels. The theoretical basis of the method is discussed together with an assessment of the quality of the estimation. Experimental tests using a loudspeaker setup and an airfoil trailing edge noise setup in an aeroacoustic wind tunnel show that the proposed method is robust and leads to reliable quantitative results.     

非线性对大气介质中阵列聚焦声场分布影响的研究

基于时域有限差分算法将大气中近似到二阶微小项的非线性声波波动方程进行离散化,得到了模拟采用的差分波动方程.在此基础上,数值模拟了初始声压强弱不同的5个点声源组成的线阵列垂直或斜向辐射的连续正弦波在大气中传播时二维声场的分布情况.将线性条件下的模拟结果与非线性条件下的模拟结果进行比较后发现:弱非线性会对声场的分布和阵列聚焦增益产生一定的影响,使声场分布波形比线性条件下的声场分布波形更加靠近阵列,聚焦效果变差;强非线性会使波形发生更严重畸变,这是由于产生了基频以外的其他频率声波引起的;非线性对斜向传播时声场分布的影响与垂直传播时的影响效果基本相同,但由于斜向辐射时的声波几何扩展造成的轴向声压衰减要大于垂直辐射时的轴向声压衰减,因此聚焦增益和强非线性的影响都将小于垂直辐射时的情况.     

偏振方向对阵列光束远场能量分布的影响

为了研究相干合成系统发光单元的偏振方向对相干合成远场光强分布的影响,以１维线性分布的阵列为例,利用傅里叶方法分析得到了单个发光单元的偏振方向偏离时相干合成的远场光强的解析表达式。数值计算结果表明：光源偏振方向的偏离使得远场中心光斑的峰值光强减小,光强的最小值不再为零,次瓣所包含的能量增大,但图样仍成对称性分布。对于5个单元合成系统,当单个发光单元偏振方向偏离π/2时,峰值光强减小到原来的68%左右。
