拉盖尔-高斯光束在界面反射和折射的质心偏移特性研究

在圆柱坐标系中研究了傍轴线偏振拉盖尔-高斯光束在两种各向同性介质界面反射和折射后光强质心的偏移. 基于菲涅耳近似和泰勒级数展开,分别得到了部分反射和全反射两种情形下,质心的横向偏移和纵向偏移与光束拓扑荷的解析关系式. 研究表明,部分反射时,反射和折射光束的横向偏移的大小与光束的拓扑荷成正比,方向由拓扑荷的符号决定;而纵向偏移仅仅大小与光束的拓扑荷有关. 全反射时,反射光束质心偏移不受拓扑荷影响. 通过数值模拟验证了解析结果的正确性,并得到了解析公式的适用条件. 拉盖尔-高斯光束的质心偏移特性可应用于测量光 关键词： 拉盖尔-高斯光束 横向偏移 纵向偏移 拓扑荷

Fresnel entropic characterization of optical Laguerre-Gaussian beams

A novel approach, based on Fresnel tomography, to determine the entropy of two-dimensional optical Laguerre-Gaussian beams is presented and discussed. Numerical evaluations of the entropy distribution in the phase space associated with Laguerre-Gauss modes are presented. It is shown that the concept of Fresnel entropy provides a general criterion for studying and characterizing the vorticity of Laguerre-Gauss modes.     

Utilization of characteristic polynomials in vibration analysis of non-uniform beams under a moving mass excitation

Vibration of non-uniform beams with different boundary conditions subjected to a moving mass is investigated. The beam is modeled using Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. Applying the method of eigenfunction expansion, equation of motion has been transformed into a number of coupled linear time-varying ordinary differential equations. In non-uniform beams, the exact vibration functions do not exist and in order to solve these equations using eigenfunction expansion method, an adequate set of functions must be selected as the assumed vibration modes. A set of polynomial functions called as beam characteristic polynomials, which is constructed by considering beam boundary conditions, have been used along with the vibration functions of the equivalent uniform beam with similar boundary conditions, as the assumed vibration functions. Orthogonal polynomials which are generated by utilizing a Gram–Schmidt process are also used, and results of their application show no advantage over the set of simple non-orthogonal polynomials. In the numerical examples, both natural frequencies and forced vibration of three different non-uniform beams with different shapes and boundary conditions are scrutinized.     

Using a partially observable Markov chain model to assess colonoscopy screening strategies – A cohort study

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is notoriously hard to combat for its high incidence and mortality rates. However, with improved screening technology and better understanding of disease pathways, CRC is more likely to be detected at early stage and thus more likely to be cured. Among the available screening methods, colonoscopy is most commonly used in the U.S. because of its capability of visualizing the entire colon and removing the polyps it detected. The current national guideline for colonoscopy screening recommends an observation-based screening strategy. Nevertheless, there is scant research studying the cost-effectiveness of the recommended observation-based strategy and its variants. In this paper, we describe a partially observable Markov chain (POMC) model which allows us to assess the cost-effectiveness of both fixed-interval and observation-based colonoscopy screening strategies. In our model, we consider detailed adenomatous polyp states and estimate state transition probabilities based on longitudinal clinical data from a specific population cohort. We conduct a comprehensive numerical study which investigates several key factors in screening strategy design, including screening frequency, initial screening age, screening end age, and screening compliance rate. We also conduct sensitivity analyses on the cost and quality of life parameters. Our numerical result demonstrates the usability of our model in assessing colonoscopy screening strategies with consideration of partial observation of true health states. This research facilitates future design of better colonoscopy screening strategies.     

Partially harmonic forms and models of H-series

Let G   be a real reductive Lie group, let H=TA$H=TA$ be the identity component of a Cartan subgroup, and let h$\mathfrak{h}$ be the corresponding Cartan subalgebra. This leads to a parabolic subgroup of G whose identity component is MAN. The unitary G-representations induced by MAN are known as the H  -series. We study symplectic geometry of G×h$G\times \mathfrak{h}$ and apply geometric quantization to construct unitary G-representations by partially harmonic forms. They are direct integrals of the H-series, indexed by the image of the moment map. We also perform symplectic reduction and symplectic induction, and consider their analogues in representation theory via geometric quantization.     

Efficient statistical inference for partially nonlinear errors-in-variables models

In this paper, we consider the partially nonlinear errors-in-variables models when the non- parametric component is measured with additive error. The profile nonlinear least squares estimator of unknown parameter and the estimator of nonparametric component are constructed, and their asymptotic properties are derived under general assumptions. Finite sample performances of the proposed statistical inference procedures are illustrated by Monte Carlo simulation studies.

Theory of third-harmonic generation using double half-Gaussian hollow beams and self-phase-matching

We first (to best of out knowledge) use the slowly varying envelope approximation (SVEA) to obtain the equation of third harmonic (TH) generated by focusing the double half-Gaussian hollow beams into an atomic medium. The two-dimension intensity distribution is achieved by simulating, and it is similar to that generated by the 0th order Bessel beams. In addition to the similarities between the experimental setups, we demonstrate the accuracy of the equation. Compared with that generated by the Bessel beams, the pattern of the TH intensity generated by the double half-Gaussian hollow beams has salient features.     

Dual extremum principles for geometrically exact finite strain beams

Both necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of two complementary-dual extremum principles for geometrically exact finite strain (one-dimensional) beam models are investigated by means of two different approaches. One is based on the results published by Gao and Strang, and the other relies on the approach proposed by Noble and Sewell. While the former is limited to beam models restricted to moderate large deformations, the latter is valid for arbitrarily large deformations (and strains). The numerical implementation of the complementary-dual extremum principles can lead to simple true global upper bounds of the error of the approximate solutions.
