The pressure broadening and shift for the J=1−0 line of CH3C14N: Resolved and overlapped hyperfine components

Summary Pressure broadening and shift parameters are measured for theJ=1−0 line of CH₃C¹⁴N at 18.4 GHz, both for the three hyperfine components and for the single line which envelopes the hyperfine components, observed at higher pressures (p≥40 mTorr). In agreement with theoretical predictions, these parameters are the same for all the observed lines: Γ _p = (50 ± 5) MHz/Torr,s=(7±2) MHz/Torr. These values are compared with previous measurements, showing a large variance expecially for the shift parameter. The measured broadening parameter is 40% lower than prediction of the Anderson theory.

Riassunto Sono stati misurati i parametri di allargamento e spostamento per pressione della rigaJ=1−0 del CH₃C¹⁴N a 18.4 GHz. Tali misure sono state eseguite, sulle tre componenti iperfini e sul loro inviluppo osservato a pressionip≥40 mTorr. In accordo con le previsioni teoriche, questi parametri risultano gli stessi per tutte le righe osservate: Γ _p = (50 ± 5) MHz/Torr,s=(7±2) MHz/Torr. Questi valori sono confrontati con quelli delle precedenti misure che mostrano una considerevole dispersione, specialmente per quanto riguarda il parametro di spostamento. L'allargamento per pressione è risultato piú basso di quello previsto dalla teoria di Anderson di circa il 40%.

     

Effect of dual-frequency clutter suppression in harmonic Doppler detection

Background

High-frequency Doppler imaging is highly potential for detection of blood flow in microcirculation. In a swept-scan system, however, the spectral broadening of tissue clutter limits the detectability of low-velocity flow signal. Conventionally, the scanning speed of transducer has to be reduced to alleviate the clutter interference but at the cost of imaging frame rate. For example, the blood velocity of 0.5 mm/s becomes detectable only with a scanning speed lower than 1 mm/s. In this study, an alternative method is examined by suppressing the clutter magnitude to reduce the interference to flow signal without sacrificing scanning speed.

Methods

The method of third harmonic (3f₀) transmit phasing can suppress the tissue harmonic clutter by transmitting at the fundamental and the additional 3f₀ frequencies to achieve mutual cancellation between the frequency-sum and the frequency-difference components of the second harmonic signal. With 3f₀ transmit phasing, the cut-off frequency of wall filtering can be reduced to preserve low-velocity flow without compromising the frame rate.

Results

Our results indicate that the 3f₀ transmit phasing effectively reduces the harmonic clutter magnitude and thus improves the flow signal-to-clutter ratio. Compared to the conventional counterpart, the clutter-suppressed color flow and power Doppler images show fewer clutter artifacts and is capable of detecting more low-velocity flow of microbubbles. The resultant color-pixel-density also improves with clutter suppression.

Conclusion

For the swept-scan high-frequency (>20 MHz) system, 3f₀ transmit phasing is capable of providing effective clutter suppression. With the same achievable scanning speed, the resultant Doppler image has higher sensitivity for low-velocity flow and is less susceptible to clutter artifacts.     

Reconstruction of the acoustic impedance profile in a plate using an inverse spectral procedure

An inverse spectral procedure was applied to reconstruct the acoustic impedance profile along the thickness direction of a plate using its thickness resonance frequencies, density and thickness. For a successful reconstruction, the material-property profile must be symmetric about the mid-plane of the plate. Several cases of numerical simulations, including plates with a few layers and with a high number of layers are described. The calculated resonance frequencies were used to reconstruct the acoustic impedance profile, a process that was successful for all cases. We assume that a plate with a high number of layers, each with a different but constant acoustic impedance, simulates a plate with a smoothly varying acoustic impedance profile. It can be concluded that such a plate, which generates small, virtually undetectable, internally reflected waves, can also be reconstructed. In the special case of a plate of unknown thickness and unknown but constant density, the method is still useful, because a relative variation of the material property can be reconstructed using only the resonance frequencies. An experiment using a resonance-mode electromagnetic acoustic transducer (resonance-mode EMAT) is also described. EMAT is a non-contact ultrasonic method that can measure thickness resonance frequencies, making it appropriate for this method. Some examples of applications are measurement of the temperature profile inside a rolled metal sheet, measurement of a clad metal plate, and monitoring of a metal casting.

We report simulations concerning optical amplification in Er:Ti:LiNbO₃ curved waveguides. The derivation and the evaluation of the spectral optical gain, the spectral noise figure, the amplified spontaneous emission photon number, and the signal to noise ratio are performed under the small gain approximation. The simulations show the evolution of these parameters under various pump regimes, Er concentration profiles and waveguide lengths. The results obtained are of significant interest for the design of complex, rare earth-doped integrated optics structures involving bent waveguides.
