High-resolution recognition of FOAM modes via an improved EfficientNet V2 based convolutional neural network

Vortex beam with fractional orbital angular momentum (FOAM) is the excellent candidate for improving the capacity of free-space optical (FSO) communication system due to its infinite modes. Therefore, the recognition of FOAM modes with higher resolution is always of great concern. In this work, through an improved EfficientNetV2 based convolutional neural network (CNN), we experimentally achieve the implementation of the recognition of FOAM modes with a resolution as high as 0.001. To the best of our knowledge, it is the first time this high resolution has been achieved. Under the strong atmospheric turbulence (AT) (C_(n)^(2)=10^(-15)m^(-2/3)), the recognition accuracy of FOAM modes at 0.1 and 0.01 resolution with our model is up to 99.12% and 92.24% for a long transmission distance of 2000 m. Even for the resolution at 0.001, the recognition accuracy can still remain at 78.77%. This work provides an effective method for the recognition of FOAM modes, which may largely improve the channel capacity of the free-space optical communication.

Evaluation method of rock damage under uniaxial compression based on unit series-parallel electrical conductive model

The evaluation of rock damage behaviour is an important requirement for ensuring stability control and safety prediction in rock engineering.However,they have not been able to obtain sufficiently accurate and dynamic results due to the insufficient evaluation method.In this study,by means of fractals and unit series division,a unit series-parallel conductive model of damaged rock is derived,and a new evaluation method of rock damage under uniaxial compression was proposed.Rock was damaged by uniaxial compression,while electrical measurements and X-ray microscopy tests were performed to obtain the damaged rock resistivity,porosity,and fractal dimension variation.By establishing the relationship between defined meso-damage factor and resistivity,rock damage evolution law under axial compression was obtained.The results indicate that the growth trend was agree with the classical statistical damage model,which verified the accuracy of the results obtained by the proposed method.Moreover,as the strain increased,the damage factor determined by resistivity gradually decreased to0.06 firstly and then increased rapidly to 0.79.Different from previous damage evolution law,brittle failure was observed and the cracks development in each stage was considered,including the closure(negative damage)and expansion(positive damage)of cracks.
