Study of Gamma-Gamma Model under Gaussian Beam
Liu Min, Liu Xiguo, Wang Hongxing, and Yu Zhenzheng
Gamma-Gamma model is a commonly used intensity scintillation model in wireless optical communications. For the problems of the complexity of the parameters models and the lack of reference for various approximate models, under Gaussian beam and using the method of simulation calculation, we analyze the effects of wavefGamma-Gamma model is a commonly used intensity scintillation model in wireless optical communications. For the problems of the complexity of the parameters models and the lack of reference for various approximate models, under Gaussian beam and using the method of simulation calculation, we analyze the effects of waveform condition, aperture dismeter, transmission distance, inner/outer scale, turbulent strength and wavelength on the characteristics of Gamma-Gamma model. The simulation results show that the effects of waveform condition, aperture diameter, transmission distance and turbulent strength cannot be ignored, while the effects of inner and outer scales, wavelength can be neglected. Moreover, as long as the ratio of aperture diameter to transmission distance remains unchanged, the Gamma-Gamma distribution characteristics will also keep unchanged. These conclusions provide reference and basis for the simplification of models in practical applications and the setting of system parameters for actual system..

Based on the non-Kolmogorov spectrum, using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, the analytical expressions for the spectrumof Gaussian-Schell model (GSM) beams propagating through non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence are derived and used to study the influence of non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence on spectral cBased on the non-Kolmogorov spectrum, using the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, the analytical expressions for the spectrumof Gaussian-Schell model (GSM) beams propagating through non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence are derived and used to study the influence of non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence on spectral changes of GSM beams. It is shown that there exist spectral shifts (blueshift and redshift) and spectral transition of GSM beams propagating through non-Kolmogorov atmospheric turbulence. The spectral transition depends on the off-axis distance r, the general exponenta, the general structure constant [C2n], the inner scale l0, the outer scale L0, and the propagation distance z. With the increment of the general exponenta and the inner scale l0, as well as the decrement of the general structure constant [C2n], the spectral transition magnitude [Δ] will decrease and the critical position of spectral transition zc will increase. This work will provide theoretical model and computational basis for researches such as free space optical communications..

A new method for temperature sensing performance evaluation of long period fiber grating (LPFG) is proposed. The method is to use the ratio of the temperature sensitivity to the fitting standard deviation, P, to measure the sensing properties of LPFG. Lot of experimental results show that temperature sensitivity has a good consistence with the P value. The greater the P value is, the better the temperature sensing property of LPFG is, and the smaller the P value is, the poor the property is..

It is found that the transfer delay fluctuations caused by the variations in refractive index, the variation in fiber link length, and the excursion in laser output wavelength are major factors reducing the stability of frequency transfer. Using the newly established round-trip timing sequence model, it is shown that the transfer delay fluctuation resulting from temperature slow variation can be compensated, but the transfer delay fluctuation caused by temperature fast variation cannot be compensated. Reducing the rate of the dynamic junction temperature variations of laser is an effective method to improve the stability of frequency transfer. In order tosatisfy the requirement that the short term stability and long term stability are less than 10-15 s-1 and 10-20 d-1, respectively, some effective measure, must be taken and the rate of the dynamic junction temperature variations of laser must be precisely controlled to be less than 0.04 ℃/s..

Damage detection is oWith the construction of a number of massive projects, the structure failure becomes more common and will probably lead to huge economic losses and casualties. It has important and practical significance to establish a complete set of structural health monitoring system for these massive projects. Damage detection is one of the core technologies for structural health identification. Although a variety of damage identification methods have been developed, accurately measuring the response of the structural information is still the premise of the effectiveness of damage identification. Damage in the massive structures cannot be predicted, so it is not advisable to perform health monitoring by means of strain gauges. We use quasi-distributed long-gage optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG), combined with the damage detection application in simply supported steel-concrete composite beam, to verify the performance of such a sensor. The test results show that damage identification efficiency is reduced with the increase in length of the quasi-distributed long-gage FBG strain sensor gage..

Firstly，according to the principles of image brightness and band index, the value of band index and identifiability for Phaseolus vulgaris leaves are calculated respectively among every band. Then, through sorting the value of band index and identifiability for Phaseolus vulgaris leaves, it can be concluded that bands 545, 630, 645, 720, 650 and 570 nm have preferable identification with considering the characteristics of discrete gray levels and rich brightness of images and little correlation coefficient among different bands. Finally, the classification accuracy for Phaseolus vulgaris leaves is calculated according to the principles of minimum Euclidean distance and minimum spectral angle matching. The classification accuracy of characteristic bands for Phaseolus vulgaris leaves is 100.00% and 83.33% separately through using these two methods. We can draw a conclusion that these bands have ideal classification accuracy. Therefore, bands 545, 630, 645, 720, 650 and 570 nm can be used as feature bands for Phaseolus vulgaris leaves..

Meanwhile, the numerical calculations of FWHM and depth are researched for three different effective numerical apertures (1.33~1.45, 1~1.45 and 1~1.12, respectively). The results indicate that the FWHM of radially polarized beam is 144 nm, breaking through the limitation of diffraction, which is also better than 330 nm of linearly and 360 nm of circularly polarized ones, by using 532 nm incident wave and 1.33~1.45 aperture. The sharper focuscan be got with the larger and thinner aperture. Also the smaller depth of transmission can be got with the larger difference of squares of upper and lower limits, for which 140 nm is the shallowest depth with 1~1.45 aperture. Compared to other polarizations, radially polarized beam is the most suitable choice for CTIRM. And by optimizing the effective numerical aperture, high horizontal resolutions and low axial fluorescent noise near the sample surfacecan be obtained simultaneously..

The effects of the actions of dispersion, nonlinearing, and combination action of dispersion and nonlinearity on the chaotic signal and the demodulated message quality are analyzed as the optical fiber transmission distance increases. The results show that: the dispersion leads to the broadening of chaotic signal, and the increase of broadening ratio, and reduces the synchronization performance of chaotic signal with the optical fiber transmission distance increasing, which results in the degradation of the demodulated message quality. Nonlinearity does not affect the time-domain waveform of chaotic signals, but the combination effects with dispersion make the chaotic signal change rapidly, as a result, the synchronization performance of chaotic signals varies rapidly, and the demodulated message quality sharply deteriorates..

The influences on transmission of intra-channel four-wave mixing (IFWM), intra-channel cross-phase modulation (IXPM), and self-phase modulation (SPM) are compared for different bit patterns, different transmitted powers, and different bit rates. Results show that, in the case of higher bit rate, IFWM is the most important nonlinearity while SPM plays a negligible role as compared to IFWM or IXPM. As the bit rate decreases, both IFWM and IXPM decline while SPM relatively increases. For a fixed bit rate, all of the three nonlinearities increase with the imcrease in input power while IFWM has the fastest increasing rate and SPM the lowest one. We propose to apply a large pre-broadening to the input pulses for quasi-linear strongly dispersion-managed transmission and find that it can efficiently suppress intra-channel nonlinear effects such as IFWM, IXPM and SPM..

When the barrier layer periodicity asymmetry is any nonzero constant，the transmittance is below 100%; while with the increase of barrier layer periodicity, the transmission peaks sharpen with a constant transmittance. The transmittance of transmission peaks decreases with the barrier layer periodicity asymmetry increasing, and the greater asymmetry is, the faster the transmittance decreases, and the faster the transmission peaks narrow. These properties can provide theoretical basis for construction, preparation and design of the photonic crystal model..

Amplitude correlation degrees and correlation bandwidth are defined, which can readily indicate the severity of spatiotemporal couplings. Intuitive pictures of pulses with different amounts of spatial chirp are given. With amplitude correlation functions, the amplitude couplings in ultrashort pulses, such as the first-order spatial chirp and angular dispersion caused by angular dispersion elements and the second-order spatial chirp caused by diffraction effects, are studied, and corresponding analytical expressions for the amplitude correlation degrees are given. It can be found that the refraction and diffraction of broadband optical pulses are frequency dependent, resulting in the decrease of amplitude correlation degree and leading to a coupling of spatial and temporal effects. Specifically the severity of the spatial chirp caused by an angular disperser increases with the increase of propagation distance and finally tends to be constant. Moreover, as the diffraction of ultrashort pulsed Gaussian beams is frequency dependent, the second-order spatial chirp of ultrashort pulsed Gaussian beams caused by diffraction effects will decrease during propagation. Finally, the severity of angular dispersion caused by an angular disperser does not vary as the beam propagates in the free space.网络出版日期: 2013-12-11.
