Performance gain of displacement receiver with optimized prior probability

We numerically study the performance of the displacement based quantum receiver for the discrimination of weak 3- and 4-phase-shift keyed (PSK) coherent state signals. We show that due to the nontrivial asymmetry of the receiver structure, optimization of the prior probability increases the mutual information and achieves sub-shot-noise limit discrimination. Moreover, we estimate the cutoff rate for a 4-PSK signal and confirm that the prior probability optimization shortens the code length for a given decoding error criterion. Such consideration for the asymmetric channel matrix is essential in a study of the compassable quantum receiver.     

A dynamic pricing approach for returned products in integrated forward/reverse logistics network design

During the last decade, the stringent pressures from environmental and social requirements have spurred an interest in designing a reverse logistics network. In this paper, we address the problem of designing and planning a multi-echelon, multi-period, multi-commodity and capacitated integrated forward/reverse logistics network. Returned products are categorized with respect to their quality levels, and a different acquisition price is offered for each return type. Furthermore, the reservation incentive of customers, the expected price of customers for one unit of used product described by uniform distribution, is applied to model the customers’ return willingness. Due to the fact that the remaining worthwhile value in the used products is the corporation’s key motivation for buying them from customers, a dynamic pricing approach is developed to determine the acquisition price for these products and based on it determine the percentage of returned products collected from customer zones. The used products’ acquisition prices at each time period are determined based on the customers’ return willingness by each collection center.     

Calibration of a multifactor model for the forward markets of several commodities

We propose a model for the evolution of forward prices of several commodities, which is an extension of the factor forward model in [1, 2], to a market where multiple commodities are traded. We calibrate this model in a market where forward contracts on multiple commodities are present, using historical forward prices. First, we calibrate separately the four coefficients of each individual commodity, using an approach based on quadratic variation/covariation of forward prices. Then, with the same technique, we pass to the estimation of the mutual correlation among the Brownian motions driving the different commodities. This calibration is compared to a calibration method used by practitioners, which uses rolling time series and requires a modification of the model, but turns out to be more accurate in practice, especially with a low frequency of observed transaction. We present efficient methods to perform the calibration with both methods, as well as the calibration of the intercommodity correlation matrix. Then we calibrate our model to WTI, ICE Brent and ICE Gasoil forward prices. Finally we present a method for estimating spot volatility from forward parameters, with an application to the WTI spot volatility.     

Crossed Beam Study on the F+D2→DF+D Reaction at Hyperthermal Collision Energy of 23.84 kJ/mol

We presented an experimental apparatus combining the H-atom Rydberg tagging time-of-flight technique and the laser detonation source for studying crossed beam reactions athyperthermal collision energies. The preliminary study of the F+D₂→DF+D reaction at hyperthermal collision energy of 23.84 kJ/mol was performed. Two beam sources were used in this study: one is the hyperthermal F beam source produced by a laser detonation process, and the other is D₂ beam source generated by liquid-N₂ cooled pulsed valve. Vibrational state-resolved di erential cross sections (DCSs) of product for the title reaction were determined. From the product vibrational state-resolved DCS, it can be concluded that products DF(v'=0, 1, 2, 3) are predominantly distributed in the sideway and backward scattering directions at this collision energy. However, the highest vibrational excited product DF(v'=4), is clearly peaked in the forward direction. The probable dynamical origins for these forward scattering products were analyzed and discussed.

测量单泡声致发光中气泡R(t)曲线的前向Mie散射技术

光干涉原理和Mie理论计算结果表明,单泡声致发光中气泡前向Mie散射的振荡信号,主要是由于气泡的透射光束和表面反射光束之间光干涉产生的. 这些干涉波峰形成了测量气泡半径的空间标尺,标尺的单位长度δR由散射角θ,检测光波波长和流体光折射率确定,而每个波峰就是标尺的刻线,它们与该时刻的气泡半径大小一一对应. 在30°—50°散射角范围内,利用前向Mie散射实验测定了单泡声致发光中气泡的最大半径,R(t)曲线及平衡半径,表明前向Mie散射是一种便捷的测定气泡运动特性的有效方法. 关键词： 单泡声致发光 前向Mie散射 光干涉

 获得长脉冲高功率微波（HPM）输出是HPM源技术追求的重要目标之一。从物理机理上分析了影响慢波结构HPM器件实现长脉冲HPM输出的因素,并利用长脉冲脉冲功率源和过模慢波结构HPM器件,开展了X波段长脉冲HPM产生实验。实验中,采用介质-铜阴极,并在慢波结构表面镀Cr,在导引磁场约0.7 T、二极管电压约400 kV、电流约10 kA、束流脉宽200 ns的条件下,获得了功率500 MW、脉宽约100 ns、主模为TM₀₁的X波段长脉冲HPM输出。对实验结果的分析表明,脉冲功率源与HPM器件的阻抗不匹配,是导致HPM器件输出微波脉宽比电子束脉宽短、以及HPM器件输出微波功率效率较低的主要原因。     

多脉冲激光对K9玻璃的表面损伤实验研究

 实验研究了波长为1 064 nm、脉宽为10 ns、重复频率为1 Hz的激光脉冲对K9玻璃的表面损伤特点,给出了脉冲透过能量随激光脉冲作用次数变化的规律。采用3维立体显微镜对损伤形貌进行观察,发现K9玻璃的损伤表面呈环状分布,分为烧蚀区、微裂纹区和断裂区。随着激光脉冲个数的增加,损伤由点状破坏演变为损伤区,微裂纹逐渐增长,损伤面积逐渐增大。基于激光支持的爆轰波理论分析,激光与脆性材料的相互作用可引起微裂纹的大量增长。在多脉冲激光的作用下,K9玻璃损伤的累积效应明显,表面损伤阈值明显降低,表面裂纹增长明显,损伤面积逐渐增大;但随着激光脉冲的继续增加,这种损伤趋于稳定。
