Perception of Nonlinear Distortion in Music Signals Reproduced by Microspeakers

A lot of work has focused on compensating nonlinear distortions of the microspeaker under large excitation, yet it is unclear at which level the effect of nonlinear distortion is imperceptible or not annoying. In this study virtual listening tests were performed to evaluate the deterioration of sound quality in music signals with different levels of nonlinear distortion by a microspeaker. Binaural recordings of the music played by the microspeaker were made at different voltage levels, adjusted to the same RMS power, and afterwards reproduced by a low distortion reference headphone. The “double-blind triple-stimulus with hidden reference” method was used in the listening tests. Listeners were required to not only discern the distortion, but also rank the severity of the distortion. The effects of several factors including subject, program material and distortion level on the perceived distortion are discussed.     

The Distortion Theorems for Harmonic Mappings with Negative Coefficient Analytic Parts

Some sharp estimates for coefficients, distortion and the growth order are obtained for harmonic mappings $f \in TL^{\alpha}_H,$ which are locally univalent harmonic mappings in the unit disk $\mathbb{D}:=\{z:|z|<1\}.$ Moreover, denoting the subclass $TS^{\alpha}_H$ of the normalized univalent harmonic mappings, we also estimate the growth of $|f|,$ $f \in TS^α_H,$ and their covering theorems.

Wave theory of light leading to the generalized vectorial laws of reflection and refraction

This paper deals with the application of Huygens’ wave theory of light for the derivation of the generalized vectorial laws of reflection and refraction discovered by the author in 2005. The long-running literature falls short of such a theoretical proof of the generalized vectorial laws of reflection and refraction on the basis of wave theory. As such the present work is novel and original. At the same time it also enhances the theoretical foundation of the discovery of the generalized vectorial laws of reflection and refraction there by proving the efficiency and increasing the range of applicability of the wave theory of light as well.     

Analysis of optical re-modulation by multistage modeling of RSOA

The time-resolved multistage reservoir model well-known for semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is extended to analyze the behavior of a bulk homogeneous InP-InGaAsP buried heterostructure reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA). Parameters for simulation have been extracted from the experimental RSOA characteristics. We have employed the model to explain the steady-state and re-modulation dynamics in the RSOA. Electrical modulation bandwidth and intermodulation distortion in the RSOA have been derived from the model and close agreement is obtained with the reported data. It is found out that the ripples in the upstream output from the RSOA for incomplete modulation erase of downstream modulated data follow Gaussian distribution, which simplifies the calculation of upstream SNR and bit error rate. It is explained in detail that amplitude ripples in the upstream data can be reduced by judicious choice of optical and electrical parameters of the RSOA. In particular, for an average low downstream power level (<−20 dBm) a good downstream modulation erase factor about 89% and 23 dB extinction ratio in the upstream modulated signal can be achieved.     

The effect of plasma channel on the self-distortion of laser pulse propagating through the collisional plasma channel

In the present paper, laser pulse distortion/breakup and the effect of the plasma channel on the laser propagation through the collisional plasma have been studied by using moment theory approach. Second order nonlinear differential equations of the beam width parameter have been derived for the propagation of the laser through uniform homogenous plasma and preformed plasma channel having parabolic density profile. Differential equations of beam width parameter have been solved numerically using Runge Kutta method. It has been observed from analysis that when the laser pulse propagates through the homogenous plasma, the low intensity front and rear parts of the laser get defocused/diffracted and the high intensity central/main portion of the laser pulse gets self-guided. As a result of this, the laser pulse gets distorted. This distortion of the laser has not been observed when the laser pulse is propagated through the plasma channel having density minimum at the axis and maximum at the edges. The laser pulse is guided as a whole, even the low intensity front and rear parts of the laser are also guided. Therefore, the plasma channel is useful to prevent the distortion/breakup of the laser.
