正弦相位调制双法布里—珀罗干涉术的实验研究

讨论了光纤传光、正弦相位调制的双法布里－珀罗干涉术实验结果。通过光强信号的傅里叶分析，证实基频幅值和相位均合谐振腔长度或程函变化信息，从而提出实现基频相位或幅值测量的时间间隔测量法或幅值整流基频幅值测量法。在已研制的实验装置上，测试两种方法的灵敏度阈，结果表明：作者提出的平行双通道结构和光纤传光的测试方法能补偿谐振腔温漂影响，简化信号处理过程，更适合实时测量。

一种改进的夜间数字能见度测量方法

为降低背景光噪声对数字摄像法夜间能见度测量的不确定性影响,对双光源法能见度测量系统进行改进。该系统利用避光筒限制CCD相机视场角,拍摄2个位于不同距离的LED背光源,然后对摄取到的图像进行处理得到光源图像的灰度值,再根据阿拉德定律求得大气消光系数,计算出大气能见度值。通过在无背景光、有背景光未加避光筒和加避光筒3种条件下的比对实验,分析光源图像的灰度信息,并将实验结果进行处理,得出有避光筒和无避光筒时测得的能见度值与无背景光下测量结果的相关系数分别是0.911 3和0.322 7,均方根相对偏差分别是6.87% 和23.38%。结果表明:系统抑制背景光噪声的能力明显增强,能较准确地测量夜间能见度。     

Digital Interferometric Measurement of Forced Convection Heat Transfer in a Miniature Rectangular Channel

Investigations have been performed on convective heat transfer in water flowing through mini-channels using the non intrusive technique of laser interferometry coupled with digital image processing. Optical glass channels, fabricated with metallic heating surfaces, were studied using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer configuration. Fringe patterns captured using a high-sensitivity CCD camera were analyzed digitally based on a calculation method developed for the liquid medium. Results of parametric studies were compared and contrasted with relevant theoretical solutions from the literature. Indication of the onset of turbulence at Reynolds numbers smaller than the conventional transition Reynolds number for large channels has also been noticed in the experimental investigation.     

Lattice orientation within stirring-induced crystals of polyethylene

Micro-shish-kebab stirring-induced polyethylene crystals, as defined and described in the preceding paper, are flat, ribbon-shaped fibers. Selected area electron-diffraction techniques were used to determine the orientation of the crystal axes with respect to the external fiber shape. It has been shown that in addition to the crystal-lographic c-axis laying along the fiber direction, the normal to the ribbon plane is parallel to the crystallographic a-axis.     

Pattern dynamics in cellular perception

By using a giant amoeboid cell of the Physarum plasmodium, changes in the intracellular distribution of chemical components are studied in relation to information processing in cell behavior. Various kinds of metabolites oscillate, and so the protoplasm should be a collection of chemical oscillators. Spatially, characteristic chemical patterns are self-organized for different cell shapes, and hence cell behavior. New phase waves propagate throughout the cell upon local stimulation, their direction being opposite for attraction and repulsion. Locomotion is inhibited when the coherence of the oscillators breaks. Thus, pattern dynamics is correlated with information processing in the amoeboid cell.     

Evolution of downsized crescent-shaped dune in wind tunnel experiment

The migration of a downsized crescent-shaped dune was investigated in a wind tunnel experiment.Quantified upwind influx and vertical oscillation of the sand bed were introduced to modulate the saturation level of the sand flux above the dune surface to affect dune evolution.The evolution was recorded by top-view photography and then abstracted as the evolution of self-defined characteristic quantities using a digital image processing algorithm.The results showed that,in contrast to the case for spanwise quantities,the evolution of streamwise quantities corresponds to a linear increase in the modulation magnitude more positively and in a monotonic and convergent manner.In contrast with quantities on the windward face,the changes in quantities with respect to the horns were nonmonotonic with time and almost uncorrelated with the variation in modulation strength,which reveals the distinctiveness of leeside evolution.     

Comparison of scale factor estimators for ultrasonic temperature monitoring: Application to structural health monitoring

In Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) of materials, estimating the effects of environmental and operational conditions such as temperature is important. Indeed, temperature changes induce modifications of the mechanical properties of the material and therefore cause a dilation of the acoustic signals characterized by a scale factor. This paper described four scale factor estimators able to monitor changes in temperature: The short-time cross-correlation (STXC) method, the stretching method (STRE), the Minimum Variance Based Estimator method (MVBE) and the Scale Transform Based Estimator method (STBE). The first two methods have already been assessed in the literature while the latter two have been specifically developed for this study. First, closed-form for the Cramer-Rao bound on the estimates of the scale factor, from a simplified deterministic signal, are derived and simplified expressions are given. Then, a statistical evaluation of the quality of estimates is conducted through Monte-Carlo simulations using synthetic signals, based on a model taking into account the influence of temperature. A raw estimate of the computational complexity of signal processing methods also completes this evaluation phase. Finally, the experimental validation of estimation methods is conducted on an aluminum plate subjected to temperatures variations in a controlled thermal environment. The temperature estimates are then faced with an analytical model describing the material behavior.     

Investigation of a UV-laser generated waveguide in a planar polymer chip using an improved interferometric method

Polymeric integrated-optical waveguides are prepared in a planar polymer chip by UV-laser lithographic methods. The waveguide samples are irradiated by an excimer laser at a wavelength Λ=248 nm with various irradiation parameters (different fluencies and irradiation doses). Mach-Zehnder interferometer is employed and the refractive index depth profiles of the waveguide samples are obtained. This profile covers two regions having exponential and Gaussian shapes. The model field distributions strongly depend on the refractive index of each region. The mode field distribution and the effective mode indices for each region have been calculated on the basis of a theoretical model and the experimentally measured data.
