HREELS signal processing via wavelets

In spectroscopy, the recorded spectra can often be modelled as the noisy convolution product of an instrumental function with the ‘true’ signal to be estimated. Such models have often been used for high‐resolution electron energy‐loss spectroscopy (HREELS). In this article, a new method is suggested to estimate the ‘true’ HREELS signal, i.e. the original electronic diffusion function with ‘true’ peak intensities. Our method relies upon the use of wavelets that, because they exhibit simultaneous time and frequency localization, are well‐suited for signal analysis. Firstly, a wavelet shrinkage algorithm is used to filter the noise. This is achieved by decomposing the noisy signal into an appropriate wavelet basis and then thresholding the wavelet coefficients that contain noise. This algorithm has a particular threshold related to frequency and time. Secondly, the broadening due to the instrumental response is eliminated through a deconvolution process. This step mainly rests on the existing relation between the Lipschitz regularity of the signal and the decay with scale of its wavelet coefficients and on least squares. The efficiency of this technique is highlighted by comparing the results obtained with those provided by other published methods. This work is the second in a series of three papers in this issue. The first one presents background knowledge on the wavelets required to understand the estimation methods. The third paper explores the application of wavelet filtering and deconvolution techniques to x‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Relative intensity noise of mode-locked fiber grating external cavity semiconductor lasers

The noise of hybrid soliton pulse source (HSPS) with linearly chirped Gaussian apodized fiber Bragg grating is analyzed by couple-mode equations including spontaneous emission noise when the HSPS is mode-locked. Relative intensity noise is calculated using numerical solutions of these equations. It is shown that transform limited pulses are generated over a wide tuning range around the fundamental mode-locking frequency with low spontaneous noise. However, a high noise level affects the operation of device, and therefore transform-limited pulses are not obtainable over a wide tuning range. It is also shown that noise is extremely sensitive to the RF and DC currents, linewidth enhancement factor, gain saturation parameter and spontaneous coupling factor.     

奇偶相干态的Wehrl熵和Shannon熵

研究了奇、偶相干态的Ｗｅｈｒｌ熵和Ｓｈａｎｎｏｎ熵，结果表明，其Ｗｅｈｒｌ熵随总噪声的增加而增大，并趋向同一个常数。Ｓｈａｎｎｏｎ熵随力学量起伏的减小而减小，且这两种态的Ｓｈａｎｎｏｎ熵均可小于相干态的Ｓｈａｎｎｏｎ熵，但这时并不与压缩效应的出现相对应，因而Ｓｈａｎｎｏｎ熵不能成为压缩存在的判据。

Two types of the effective mass divergence and the Grüneisen ratio in heavy-fermion metals

The behavior of the specific heat c_p, effective mass M^*, and the thermal expansion coefficient of a Fermi system located near the fermion condensation quantum phase transition (FCQPT) is considered. We observe the first type behavior if the system is close to FCQPT: the specific heat , , while the thermal expansion coefficient . Thus, the Grüneisen ratio Γ(T)=/c_p does not diverges. At the transition region, where the system passes over from the non-Fermi liquid to the Landau Fermi liquid, the ratio diverges as . When the system becomes the Landau Fermi liquid, Γ(T,r)∝1/r, with r being a distance from the quantum critical point. Provided the system has undergone FCQPT, the second type takes place: the specific heat behaves as , M^*∝1/T, and =a+bT with a,b being constants. Again, the Grüneisen ratio diverges as .
