Analysis of nasal consonants using perceptual linear prediction.

Until recently, speech analysis techniques have been built around the all-pole linear predictive model. This study examines the effectiveness of using the perceptual linear predictive method for analyzing nasal consonants. Six speakers (three men and three women) produced 300 CV syllables with initial nasal consonants /m/ and /n/. A threshold-based boundary detection algorithm was developed to extract nasal segments from the CV contexts. Poles of a fifth-order perceptual linear predictive model were calculated and the frequency of the second pole was used to characterize the place of articulation of nasal consonants. Results indicated that the frequency for the second transformed pole was significantly lower for /m/ than for /n/ and was independent of factors such as a vowel context and gender of the speaker. A nasal identification rate of 86% was obtained based on the frequency of the second pole. The use of the perceptual linear predictive method may thus overcome some difficulties associated with analyzing nasal consonants.

LB薄膜中四新戊氧基酞菁锌和四壬基酞菁铜分子聚集体的吸收光谱的温度特性

本文制备了四新戊氧基酞菁锌(Tetra-neopentoxy phthalocyanine zine)(TNPPeZn)和四壬基酞菁铜(Tetra-nonyl phthalocyanine copper)(TNPeCu)两种酞菁衍生物的Langmuir-Blodgett(LB)薄膜.通过测量10～473K温度下的吸收光谱,研究了两种薄膜的分子聚集状态.TNPPeZn的LB薄膜中,存在着分子单体和分子二聚体,在吸收光谱中分别表现为680nm和620nm的吸收峰.随着温度的升高,分子单体逐渐转变为分子二聚体,这个过程是不可逆的.TNPeCu的LB薄膜中,除了分子单体和分子二聚体以外,还有吸收为740nm的分子J聚集体存在.随着温度的变化,J聚集体发生可逆变化.

Nanoscale gap filling for phase change material by pulsed deposition and inductively coupled plasma etching

The gap filling of phase change material has become a critical module in the fabrication process of phase change random access memory (PCRAM) as the device continues to scale down to 45 nm and below. However, conventional physical vapor deposition process cannot meet the nanoscale gap fill requirement anymore. In this study, we found that the pulsed deposition followed by inductively coupled plasma etching process showed distinctly better gap filling capability and scalability than single-step deposition process. The gap filling mechanism of the deposit–etch–deposit (DED) process was briefly discussed. The film redeposition during etching step was the key ingredient of gap filling improvement. We achieved void free gap filling of phase change material on the 30 nm via with aspect ratio of 1:1 by two-cycle DED process. The results provided a rather comprehensive insight into the mechanism of DED process and proposed a potential gap filling solution for 45 nm and below technology nodes for PCRAM.     

X波段高功率微波选模定向耦合器

高功率、长脉冲是高功率微波技术发展的趋势,提高微波器件的功率容量成为一项重要的任务,使用过模器件可以有效提高微波源的功率容量,然而却会带来微波源中同时存在多种模式的问题。为了识别一个X波段长脉冲过模高功率微波源的输出主模TM01模式,设计了一种在线选模定向耦合器,进行了理论分析和模拟优化设计。当频率范围为9.2~9.6 GHz时,模拟结果显示该选模耦合器对TM01模的耦合度为-54 dB,在400 MHz带宽内定向性大于35 dB,对TM02模的抑制度大于15 dB,功率容量可达到3 GW以上。     

Stable single longitudinal mode erbium-doped silica fiber laser based on an asymmetric linear three-cavity structure

We present a stable linear-cavity single longitudinal mode (SLM) erbium-doped silica fiber laser. It consists of four fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) directly written in a section of photosensitive erbium-doped fiber (EDF) to form an asymmetric three-cavity structure. The stable SLM operation at a wavelength of 1545.112 nm with a 3-dB bandwidth of 0.012 nm and an optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) of about 60 dB is verified experimentally. Under laboratory conditions, the performance of a power fluctuation of less than 0.05 dB observed from the power meter for 6 h and a wavelength variation of less than 0.01 nm obtained from the optical spectrum analyzer (OSA) for about 1.5 h are demonstrated. The gain fiber length is no longer limited to only several centimeters for SLM operation because of the excellent mode-selecting ability of the asymmetric three-cavity structure. The proposed scheme provides a simple and cost-effective approach to realizing a stable SLM fiber laser.     

S波段相对论速调管放大器锁相特性

对相对论速调管放大器（RKA）锁相特性进行了粒子模拟与实验研究。在2.5维粒子模拟中,研究了电子束电压波形特征对RKA锁相特性的影响,结果表明:电子束电压波形上冲对RKA锁相特性有正面影响,即能够减小相位差达到锁定状态的时间,幅度为20%的上冲导致大约23的相位差变化;波形顶降则对RKA锁相特性有负面影响,可使相位差过早地偏离稳定值,幅度为5%的顶降大约能引起50的相位差偏离;电压波形的上升时间对RKA相位锁定特性也有影响,但规律不明显。在三维粒子模拟和实验中,研究了导引磁场大小对RKA锁相特性的影响,结果表明,在1.6 T以下,RKA输出微波与种子源微波之间的相位差锁定值总体上随导引磁场的增大而减小,在细节上,呈现阶跃形式,即一定范围内导引磁场大小变化不会导致相位差的改变。实验研究表明,在导引磁场范围为0.6~1.2 T时,RKA锁定相位差随导引磁场的增大而减小,阶跃现象不明显。

The Monte-Carlo simulation on a scintillator neutron detector

A simulation of the properties of the shifting scintillator neutron detector using 6LiF/ZnS(Ag) scintillation screens is performed.The simulation results show that the light attenuation length of standard BC704 scintillator is about 0.65 mm.Its thermal neutron detection efficiency,gamma sensitivity and intrinsic spatial resolution can achieve around 50.0%,10 5and 0.18 mm(along X-axis) respectively.For the detector,air coupling position resolution is better than the silicone oil coupling.Some of the simulation results are compared with experimental results.They are in agreement.This work will be helpful for constructing neutron detector for high intensity powder diffractometer at Chinese spallation neutron source.
