双扫描激光雷达精细探测低层大气气溶胶方法

为实现水平非均匀分布的低层大气气溶胶光学特性的遥感探测,提出一种基于双扫描激光雷达的气溶胶精细探测方法.该方法以扫描激光雷达为遥感探测工具,通过双激光雷达相向交叉扫描工作模式,实现对同一空域近地表气溶胶全视野剖面的交叉探测,从而提供双激光雷达方程组以精确求解气溶胶消光和后向散射系数.在数据反演过程中,通过对交叉扫描区域进行坐标化和网格化处理、网格像素单元的初值预设,以及双扫描激光雷达方程组的数值逼近反演得到气溶胶消光.利用长距离扫描激光雷达的数据对该方法进行验证,结果表明,该方法与多角度方法反演所得到的结果随高度变化的趋势具有高度的一致性;同时双扫描激光雷达可提供交叉扫描区域剖面的气溶胶浓度分布,相比于单条廓线具有较大的优势.     

Eccentricity modulation of a close-in planet by a companion: Application to GJ 436 system

GJ 436b is a Neptune-size planet with 23.2 Earth masses in an elliptical orbit of period 2.64 days and eccentricity 0.16. With a typical tidal dissipation factor (Q′∼10⁶) as that of a giant planet with convective envelope, its orbital circularization timescale under internal tidal dissipation is around 1 Ga, at least two times less than the stellar age (> 3 Ga). A plausible mechanism is that the eccentricity of GJ 436b is modulated by a planetary companion due to their mutual perturbation. Here we investigate this possibility from the dynamical viewpoint. A general method is given to predict the possible locations of the dynamically coupled companions, including nearby/distance non-resonant or mean motion resonance orbits with the first planet. Applying the method to GJ 436 system, we find it is very unlikely that the eccentricity of GJ 436b is maintained at the present location by a nearby/distance companion through secular perturbation or mean motion resonance. In fact, in all these simulated cases, GJ 436b will undergo eccentricity damp and orbital decay, leaving the present location within the stellar age. However, these results do not rule out the possible existence of planet companions in nearby/distance orbits, although they are not able to maintain the eccentricity of GJ 436b.

基于大气湍流效应的双波长激光传输特性实验研究

为研究大气湍流作用下不同波长激光信号的传输特性,建立了基于双波长条件下的激光光束传输实验测试系统,在此基础上进行了室外实验测量,得到了双波长光束同信道传输时的光束漂移和光强起伏变化的测试数据。实验结果表明,大气湍流对激光信号的传输具有较大的影响,且光强的闪烁系数与波长有很大的关系,选择波长较长的激光束可减少湍流对光强起伏的影响;光束质心漂移具有很大的随机性,且其质心变化与波长之间无明显的直接联系。实验测试数据结果与大气湍流理论相符合,对空间大气通信具有一定的参考价值。     

部分相干涡旋光束在大气湍流中的远场传输特性

运用广义惠更斯-菲涅耳原理,详细研究了部分相干涡旋光束在湍流介质中的远场传输规律.研究表明,部分相干涡旋光束的光谱相干度及光强分布与光束的拓扑电荷数、空间相对相干长度及湍流介质的折射率结构常数等因素有关.在湍流介质中,光谱相干度存在相位奇点,并且随着空间相对相干长度的增大,相干涡旋逐渐演化为强度涡旋,而湍流介质的强弱对部分相干涡旋光束的影响则相反,随着湍流介质的折射率常数的增大,强度涡旋逐渐演化为相干涡旋.     

Propagation of a decentered astigmatic partially coherent beam in a turbulent atmosphere

Propagation properties of a decentered general astigmatic partially coherent beam (i.e., decentered twisted anisotropic Gaussian Schell-model beam) in a turbulent atmosphere are investigated. Analytical formulas for the cross-spectral density and decentered parameter of a decentered astigmatic partially coherent beam propagating in a turbulent atmosphere are derived. Irradiance properties of a decentered astigmatic partially coherent beam in a turbulent atmosphere are studied graphically, and are found to be quite different from its properties in free space.     

The angle-of-arrival variance of optical waves propagating through turbulent atmosphere in the presence of random jitter

Dynamic wind loads, thermal expansion and other mechanical reasons cause optical platform mounts to sway. The sway distorts the alignment between transmitters and receivers, causing random pointing jitter, the outcome of which is the phase fluctuation of optical waves from the transmitter. Furthermore, atmospheric turbulence causes fluctuations in the phase of those optical waves. By using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, both phase fluctuations are considered and an analytic formulation for the angle-of-arrival variance of optical waves propagating through turbulent atmosphere in the presence of motion-induced pointing jitter is derived. The result shows that the angle-of-arrival variance of optical waves under the combined impact of motion-induced pointing jitter and atmospheric turbulence is the sum of the angle-of-arrival variances induced by them independently.     

Scintillation index of astigmatic annular beams in a turbulent atmosphere

The scintillation properties of astigmatic annular beams in a weak turbulent atmosphere are investigated. Expression for the on-axis scintillation index of an astigmatic annular beam is derived. It is found that the scintillation index of an astigmatic annular beam can be smaller than that of a Gaussian beam, an elliptical Gaussian beam and a stigmatic annular beam in a weak turbulent atmosphere under certain conditions. The scintillation properties of astigmatic annular beams are closely controlled by its beam parameters.     

Picard iteration methods for a spherical atmosphere

Several methods for solving the radiative transfer equation in a spherical atmosphere are presented. These methods include the long characteristic Picard iteration, and the conventional and the accelerated short characteristic Picard iteration. Approximate methods as for instance the Picard iteration methods with open boundaries are also discussed. The analysis is focussed on the computational efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method and their applicability to atmospheric remote sensing.
