Influences of Ice Crystal Particles on the Detection Performance of Quantum Interference Radar
Min Nie, Yixin Zhang, Guang Yang, Meiling Zhang, Aijing Sun, and Changxing Pei
In order to study the influence of ice crystal particles on the performance parameters of quantum interference radar, based on the Van de Hulst approximation theory of ice crystal particles, standard gamma distribution, and Henyey-Greenstein phase function, the polarization changes of radar detection photons in the bacIn order to study the influence of ice crystal particles on the performance parameters of quantum interference radar, based on the Van de Hulst approximation theory of ice crystal particles, standard gamma distribution, and Henyey-Greenstein phase function, the polarization changes of radar detection photons in the background of ice crystal particles are studied. The influence model of different parameters of ice particles on transmission distance, resolution, and bit error rate of quantum interference radar detection photons is established. Simulation results show that increasing the effective scale of ice crystal particles will increase the energy dissipation of the detected photons, resulting in a decrease in the transmission distance of the detected photons. The resolution of the quantum interference radar decreases as the optical thickness of the ice crystal grains increases when the number of transmitted beam photons is fixed. Particularly, when the concentration of ice crystal particles is constant, the quantum bit error rate of the link increases with the increase of effective size of the ice crystal particles and the asymmetric factor. In addition, different types of ice crystal particles have different effects on the quantum bit error rate. Meanwhile, in the case of high polarization ratio, reducing the ellipticity angle within a certain range will accordingly bring down the quantum bit error rate..

In this paper, cloth simulation filtering (CSF) algorithm is applied to filter the airborne LiDAR data. By setting the number of particles generated in the algorithm and the threshold of ground point classification, the ground point cloud is extracted from six groups of point cloud data under different terrain conditions, and the Kappa coefficient of classification is between 0.851 and 0.954. The DEM of 1 m×1 m is generated from the ground points extracted by the CSF algorithm, and the DEM provided by the research area is linearly fitted. Experimental results show that the regression line fitting goodness factor R2 is larger than 0.99 and the root mean square error is between 0.10451 and 0.30387. The cloth simulation algorithm has few parameters for extracting ground points of the point cloud and is suitable for a wide range of terrain. The high-resolution DEM generated by the proposed algorithm can well express the continuous undulating surface changes and terrain features of the region..

A detachable double-walled open model pipe pile is made, the FBG sensors are mounted on the model pipe pile by grooving and gluing the pile wall. The stress distribution and variation law of the model pipe pile during penetration are measured. The results indicate that the sensors with the special model pipe pile can better meet the requirements for testing the penetration characteristics of the open pipe pile. The sensors are easy to install and have a high survival rate. With the increase of the penetration depth of the model pipe pile, the bearing characteristic is similar to the friction end-bearing piles, and the axial forces of the inner and outer walls of the pile increase, but the growth rate of each point is different. The lateral frictional resistance of the inner and outer wall of the pile increases as a whole, and the unit side frictional resistance shows different degrees of “degradation effect”..

To correctly extract the ciphertext in high-speed information protection transmission systems, both communication parties must be synchronized so that the receiving end can accurately define the data transmission process, as well as the start and end positions of valid data. For a high-speed information protection transmission system encrypted using optical quantum noise, an effective key synchronization scheme is proposed herein. The synchronization frame structure and synchronization process are designed, the channel transmission delay is periodically measured, and the difference is iteratively estimated to correct the arrival time of the decryption key to complete the synchronization of the decryption key and the ciphertext under high-speed information transmission. This study analyzes the important parameters that affect the key synchronization, verifies the feasibility of the scheme, and analyzes the key performance indicators such as the success rate and bit error rate of the synchronization scheme based on the experimentally-obtained data..

In the process of surface reconstruction, the system can move freely, and the movement path of the system can be restored through the visual positioning method. In order to ensure the accuracy of the surface reconstruction, a global optimization method is used to unify the structured light point clouds extracted from each position under the global coordinate system, which effectively avoids the accumulation of errors in the pose calculation process and obtains a high-precision surface morphology. The two-position global coordinate system poses are unified, and the high-precision attitude sensor and static reference point are used to calculate the relative pose between the global coordinate systems during the two measurements. Experimental results show that this method is fast and has high precision, and the relative error of deformation measurement is within 0.12%..

According to the working temperature index requirement of -20-50 ℃, an integrated opto-mechanical-thermal analysis of the zoom lens is carried out. Patran software is used to load the temperature stress on the lens, and calculate the thermoelastic deformation of the optical structure. Nastran software is used to calculate the rigid body displacement of the mirror nodes of optical components after thermal deformation. The Zernike coefficient of each lens surface after deformation is analyzed by Sigfit optical interface software, and the results are imported into Zemax to predict the effect of lens surface change and rigid body displacement change on modulation transfer function (MTF) and wavefront difference. Experimental results show that under the temperature load of -20-50 ℃, the maximum axial displacement of posterior fixation group can reach 6.107×10 -3 mm, which seriously affects the imaging quality. In order to reduce the influence of temperature load, flexible pressure ring is used to realize the design of axial displacement controllable heat difference dissipation. Integrated opto-mechanical-thermal analysis show that the MTF values of the optical system under temperature load are all greater than 0.3, meeting the technical requirements. Finally, the temperature adaptability of the zoom lens and the accuracy of integrated opto-mechanical-thermal analysis are tested by temperature reliability experiment, which provides a set of efficient, accurate, and wide-ranging integrated opto-mechanical-thermal analysis process..

However, there are many challenges related to the design of this algorithm because of the pathological problems associated with the two-frame phase shift technology. In this study, a phase shift extraction algorithm is proposed for a two-frame random time-domain phase-shifted fringe pattern. First, the background term of the fringe pattern was eliminated using high-pass filtering. Subsequently, the minimum square root of the amplitude was searched using the gradient descent algorithm in combination with the square root distribution law of amplitude. Then, the introduced phase shift was extracted. Finally, the two-step phase shift algorithm was used to obtain the measured phase. The simulation and experimental results show that compared with other classical algorithms, the proposed algorithm exhibits various features, including small recovery phase error and noise insensitivity. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm is simple, flexible, and easy to apply..

When the incident light wave entered the waveguide structure, the semi-circular resonant cavity and metal baffle formed two narrow discrete states and a wide continuous state, respectively. Consequently, the interference effect was observed, which can form two sharp asymmetric resonance spectra, that is, two modes of Fano resonance. To conduct numerical simulation analysis on the transmission spectrum characteristics of the structure, the coupled-mode theory and finite element analysis method were used. Moreover, the effects of structural and medium refractive index parameters on the transmission quality factor and sensitivity characteristics were elucidated. By analyzing the optimization of the structural parameters, the system performance can be flexibly adjusted and optimized by modifying the structural parameters. Furthermore, the transmission quality factors in the two modes are 3.05×10 5 and 4.59×10 5, and their corresponding sensitivities are 800 nm/RIU and 1160 nm/RIU, espectively. The proposed flexible dual Fano resonance structure has certain application values in the study of nanobiosensors, nonlinear optics, and slow light..

ing at the shortcomings of low optical trap stiffness and poor axial stability in dual-beam optical trap, a four-beam optical trap is proposed to capture and manipulate particles. Using ray optics model, the differences in mechanical characteristics between the dual-beam optical trap and the four-beam optical trap are compared and analyzed, and a four-beam optical trap chip is designed and fabricated. Polystyrene microspheres with radius of 5 μm are captured and the axial optical trap stiffness is calibrated by mean square displacement method. Both simulations and experimental results show that the stiffness of the axial light trap in the four-beam optical trap is comparable to that of the transverse optical trap in the dual-beam optical trap, and is much larger than that of the axial light trap in dual-beam optical trap. While maintaining the lateral capture stability of dual-beam optical trap, the four-beam optical trap improves the axial capture stability, and is of great significance for stable manipulation of micro-particles.

When the energy density increases, the diameters of the micro-dimples initially increase and subsequently remain constant (the maximum diameter is 100 μm); the laser energy density only slightly affects the depths of the dimples. The diameters and depths of the dimples initially increase and then decrease with the increasing number of pulses. The maximum diameter and depth of the dimple are 140 μm after 20 pulses. Further, the ablation threshold φth of the high-silicon aluminum alloy is 2.08 J/cm 2 in case of one pulse, which decrease with an increase in the number of pulses owing to energy accumulation. In addition, the effect of microtextures on the wear reduction of the cylinder liner surface can be observed at a fixed depth and diameter of the micropits, and the samples with area fractions of 10% and 20% exhibite better wear properties than those with an area fraction of 5%..

The mechanisIn this study, the removal mechanism of polyacrylate-based paint is studied by fiber lasers. In addition, the effects of energy density on the quality of laser paint removal are investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the relationship between the energy density and surface shape is studied. The mechanism of laser paint removal is studied using SEM, X-ray energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). The results show that the quality of laser paint removal is considerably influenced by the energy density. When laser cleaning was performed once, the quality of laser paint removal improves with the increasing energy density. However, this quality slightly decreases because of the plasma shielding effect when the energy density is 12.56 J/cm 2 and 13.60 J/cm 2, respectively. When laser cleaning is performed twice, the quality of laser paint removal continuously improves with the increasing energy density. The combustion on the cleaning surface is weak owing to the enhanced laser-plasma-induced shock. The content of C on the cleaning surface increases, whereas that of O decreases. The morphology, element content, and chemical bonding of the cleaning surface indicates three types of cleaning mechanisms, including thermal combustion, pyrolysis, and plasma shock. Various coupling mechanisms are used to remove the polyacrylate-based paint from the surface of an aluminum alloy..

Results show that the linear heat input and relative wire speed can affect the longitudinal flexure deformation through the bending stiffness and equivalent load. As the linear heat input increases, the equivalent load also gradually increases, and the bending stiffness shows a decreasing→increasing→decreasing trend. Moreover, the equivalent load and bending stiffness will simultaneously increase when the linear heat input increases in a certain range, resulting in a relatively small change in flexure deformation. By increasing the relative wire speed, the bending stiffness of sample is improved, thereby causing a significant reduction in the welding deformation. By selecting small linear heat input and large relative wire speed within reasonable parameters, welding deformation can be restrained..

The effect of welding parameters on welding quality and stability was studied from the aspects of weld formation, porosity, and characteristics of metal vapor/plasma. The results indicate that the laser power has an effect on the weld width, residual height, underfill, and porosity. The welding speed mainly affects the weld width and weld width ratio. The effect of welding process on weld quality is closely related to the characteristics, and stability of metal vapor/plasma. At lower laser power (1.5-2.5 kW) or higher welding speed (3.5-4.5 m/min), the metal vapor/plasma area is large and area fluctuation is obvious, the weld is not penetrated, and the porosity is high. Under moderate laser power (3.0-3.5 kW), and welding speed matching (2.5 m/min), the area and periodic fluctuation of metal vapor/plasma are small, the weld is fully penetrated, and the forming quality is good..

By establishing the mode of all-normal-dispersion fiber lasers, we have studied the effects of gain saturation energy and gain bandwidth on the fitting factor, pulse width, spectrum width, and pulse energy of the output parabolic pulses. The results show that in backward pumping mode, the laser can output parabolic pulses with higher energy, and can generate parabolic pulses with lower gain saturation energy. The backward pumped all-normal-dispersion fiber laser can maintain the output of the parabolic pulses in a larger gain and saturation energy range. The gain bandwidth of gain fiber has a small influence on the output characteristics of the parabolic pulses in different pumping schemes..

Theoretical research demonstrates that when the transverse magnetic polarized light with 12.20 μm wavelength is incident, hBN heterostructure GH shift can be effectively improved by adjusting the Fermi level of graphene or the number of graphene layer. This phenomenon is attributed to the Lorentz resonance phenomenon in the infrared band of hBN. For 0.2 eV Fermi energy, GH shift of 80.97λ can be achieved using a single layer of graphene as the heterostructure. Moreover, the law of GH shift varying with the hBN thickness exhibits the same as that with the hBN dielectric constant. Notably, when the hBN thickness changes around 1.53 μm, the positive and negative variations in GH shift can be flexibly switched in the range of -150λ-150λ. Furthermore, these findings are helpful in designing new high-sensitivity infrared optical sensors..

Second, we construct a spatial interference microscope system that uses green light and diluted 6-μm polystyrene microsphere into the microscopic objective oil to simulate microenvironment of a cell. Finally, using four of the spatial-interference images, we reconstruct the phase distribution of the oil-immersed microspheres. The relative error in the microsphere radius is 6.5%, and the relative error of optical path difference volume of the oil-immersed microsphere is 8.4%. By comparing these results with those achieved by the traditional four-step phase shift method, the improvement can be neglected. Therefore, in situations where the imaging speed is important and the observed cell is sufficiently thin, it is not necessary to use the corrected four-step phase-shift method to increase the imaging speed..

First, the symplectic sub-technology and approximate difference of wavelet scale function were introduced into the S-MRTD algorithm in time and space, respectively. Next, based on the time-reversible constraints and growth factors, a set of optimized symplectic operators was solved. Further, the stability and numerical dispersion of the traditional FDTD method and S-MRTD algorithm were discussed. Finally, based on the S-MRTD algorithm, the transmission and reflection coefficients of photonic crystals were analyzed. Numerical calculation and simulation results verify the feasibility and accuracy of the S-MRTD algorithm. The successful application of the S-MRTD algorithm facilitates a new numerical calculation technique with high accuracy and efficiency for elucidating the transmission characteristics of photonic crystals..

Further, this structure is optimized to limit the propagation of light in low-refractive-index materials and concentrate energy. The slot waveguide structure comprises two symmetrical high-refractive-index slabs, a middle low-refractive-index slot, and a peripheral cladding. The effects of the cladding size, the height and width of the middle low-refractive-index slot, and the width of the slab are simulated under two-dimensional conditions with an incident wavelength of 1550 nm based on the finite element analysis method. The aforementioned parameters are optimized to ensure that energy is more concentrated in the middle low-refractive-index slot. In addition, the distribution of the electric field in a three-dimensional space is studied when the optimized parameters are used to establish a three-dimensional model, proving that light can propagate in low-refractive-index materials when the proposed structure is used..

First, two dielectric films (i.e., films 1 and 2) are coated outside a corner-cube reflector's reflective plane. Then, the refractive index and thickness of the dielectric film are optimized through particle swarm optimization (PSO) method to realize the incident light, which can be totally reflected at the interface of the corner-cube reflector and the dielectric film. The evanescent wave returns to the corner-cube reflector through the film 2. The polarization preservation can be achieved using the superposition effect of the reflected beam and the evanescent wave to change the propagating beam phase. Finally, COMSOL Multiphysics simulation software is used to simulate the polarization preservation effect of the corner-cube reflector. Simulation results show that when the initial azimuth of the incident polarized light is in the range of [-40°,40°], it exhibits better preserved polarization, i.e., the azimuth angle and the ellipticity of the emitted light are varied by approximately 0.2° and 0, respectively..

Therefore, this study presents a method to rapidly detect and classify the pollen particles in air. Herein, 465 Raman spectroscopic data associated with 42 pollen samples were obtained using a Raman spectrometer by considering common pollen as the research object. Subsequently, they were categorized as interfamily and intergeneric pollen according to their biological classification, and then classified and predicted. After the obtained spectral data were preprocessed, principal component analysis was used for extracting the spectral characteristic information, and a support vector machine recognition model was established.

Using prepared Ag colloid substrates, the SERS detection is performed on commercially available glyphosate pesticides with different concentrations, and the detection concentration of the glyphosate can be as low as 1.8×10 -6 mol/L. Next the SERS of the volatiles of glyphosate solutions with different concentrations are studied by using the prepared capillary glass tube. When the glyphosate solution is diluted to a concentration of 1.8×10 -6 mol/L, there is still a significant characteristic absorption peak of the glyphosate, which indicates the detected concentration of the experimental method can reach 1.8×10 -6 mol/L (about 0.3 mg/kg). According to the National Food Safety Standard formulated in 2016, the maximum glyphosate residue in fruits is 0.5 mg/kg. Compared with the national standard,the concentration of the glyphosate pesticide residues in the detected water has basically reached the national maximum detection standard of pesticide residues. Therefore, this experimental method can be used as a scientific and effective method for the detection of glyphosate pesticide residues and can provide a reference for detecting other pesticide residues..
