A theoretical investigation of chirp insonification of ultrasound contrast agents

A theoretical investigation of second harmonic imaging of an Ultrasound Contrast Agent (UCA) under chirp insonification is considered. By solving the UCA’s dynamical equation analytically, the effect that the chirp signal parameters and the UCA shell parameters have on the amplitude of the second harmonic frequency are examined. This allows optimal parameter values to be identified which maximise the UCA’s second harmonic response. A relationship is found for the chirp parameters which ensures that a signal can be designed to resonate a UCA for a given set of shell parameters. It is also shown that the shell thickness, shell viscosity and shell elasticity parameter should be as small as realistically possible in order to maximise the second harmonic amplitude.

Convex Optimization approach to signals with fast varying instantaneous frequency

Motivated by the limitation of analyzing oscillatory signals composed of multiple components with fast-varying instantaneous frequency, we approach the time-frequency analysis problem by optimization. Based on the proposed adaptive harmonic model, the time-frequency representation of a signal is obtained by directly minimizing a functional, which involves few properties an “ideal time-frequency representation” should satisfy, for example, the signal reconstruction and concentrative time-frequency representation. FISTA (Fast Iterative Shrinkage-Thresholding Algorithm) is applied to achieve an efficient numerical approximation of the functional. We coin the algorithm as Time-frequency bY COnvex OptimizatioN (Tycoon). The numerical results confirm the potential of the Tycoon algorithm.

硅基光波导中啁啾高斯脉冲在反常色散区的传输特性

本文利用激光脉冲在硅基光波导(SOI)中传播时满足的非线性薛定谔方程,采用分步傅里叶变换,数值模拟了硅基光波导中啁啾高斯脉冲在反常色散区的传播特性.通过模拟发现,三阶色散正负主要决定了脉冲的振荡波形性质,克尔效应与双光子吸收对脉冲波形起调制作用,自由载流子效应则可以忽略.初始啁啾参数的正负存在影响了脉冲的振荡强弱变化和脉冲中心的漂移的趋势,并且无论是正啁啾还是负啁啾,脉冲振荡与漂移都随着啁啾的增大而更加剧烈,同时啁啾正向增大与负向增大,都将导致脉冲展宽越严重致主峰峰值越低.

A novel timing synchronization for CO-OFDM systems using chirp signals

A fast and efficient timing offset correction is an essential function in the coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) system. The timing synchronization schemes for OFDM systems in wireless communications can be used for CO-OFDM systems. However, the performance of these schemes is reduced due to the chromatic dispersion. To fulfill the requirement of the CO-OFDM systems, a novel symbol timing synchronization scheme based on chirp signals has been proposed. The simulation results show that the proposed method is robust in CO-OFDM systems which is suffering from noise.     

Narrowing behavior of chirped pulses with small Fresnel number in focusing systems

Based on the diffraction integral and Fourier transform, the fields of chirped pulses passing through a thin lens are derived. Influences of Fresnel number and chirp parameter on the transverse intensity distributions of the chirped pulses at focal plane are illustrated with numerical results. Also, effect of pulse duration on the intensities is investigated. It is found that the width of transverse intensity distribution of the chirped pulses decreases with increasing the chirp parameter and the narrowing behavior presents more obvious with smaller Fresnel number. A physical explanation for the narrowing behavior is given on the basis of a simplified form of the field expression.
