Research on Temperature Field Reconstruction Based on RBF Approximation with Polynomial Reproduction Considering the Refraction Effect of Sound Wave Paths

The temperature field distribution directly reflects the combustion condition in a furnace.In this paper,acoustic thermometry to reconstruct temperature distribution is investigated.A method based on radial basis function approximation with polynomial reproduction(RBF-PR)is proposed in order to improve the accuracy and stability of the method based on RBF approximation.In addition,the refraction effect of sound wave paths is considered in the process of reconstruction.The curved lines with refraction effect are numerically calculated by solving differential equations,which show that sonic waves curve towards the zones of higher temperature.The reconstructed performance is validated via numerical simulation using four temperature distribution models.Results and analysis show that the proposed method has much greater accuracy than the method based on RBF approximation,and when considering the effect of refraction,our method can reconstruct more excellent reconstruction performance than others,which do not take into account the refraction effect of sound wave paths.

The Refractive Effect of k-Factor on Radio Propagation over Lokoja, Nigeria

The effective earth radius factor(k-factor)has a refractive propagation effect on transmitted radio signals thus making its study necessary for the proper planning of terrestrial radio links and power budget.This study was carried out over the city of Lokoja,Nigeria,using ten years(2011 to 2020)atmospheric data of temperature,pressure and humidity both at the surface(12 m)and at 100 m AGL.The data were retrieved from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts(ECMWF)ERA5.The k-factor yearly variation follows the same trend with minimum and maximum values obtained during dry and wet season months respectively.In addition,the highest mean value of 1.00042 was recorded in the month of August while the lowest value of 1.00040 was recorded in the month of January with an overall mean value of 1.0003.This value is less than the recommended standard of 1.33 by ITU-R.The propagation effect corresponding to k<1.33 is sub-refractive.The implication of this on radio wave propagation,especially terrestrial communications is that transmitted wireless signal is prone to losses.This can be mitigated through an effective power budget:Choice of transmitting antenna’s height and gain,so as to improve the Quality of Service over the study area.

EFFECTIVE INDEX PROFILE ALONG THE DEPTH DIRECTION OF Ti∶LiNbO 3 STRIP WAVEGUIDE

Based on the quasi analytical technique, an analytical expression for the effective index profile in the depth direction in Ti:LiNbO 3 strip waveguide is theoretically derived. It is very useful for the research into the propagation characteristics of the strip waveguides with metal clad. From this expression, the field distributions and modal indices in typical waveguides are calculated. In addition, the method of how to get the position where the mode field has the maximum value is yielded in this paper. It is very important to the optical coupling between two waveguides or between the waveguide and the fiber.

Dispersion Properties of TIRPCF under Compton Scattering

The dispersion properties in the short wavelength region of total internal reflective photonic crystal fiber(TIRPCF) in Compton scattering have been studied by using the model of the equivalent twin waveguide soliton coupling, dispersion management solitons and effective refractive index. It is shown that the positive dispersion of the cladding waveguide of TIRPCF and the negative dispersion of its core waveguide are quickly increased by the square of the collision non-elastic composition between the electron and photons, and they are lessened by the increase of the electron absorption photon number. Under the one-photon nonlinear Compton scattering, the method of the compensated probing laser diffraction by the phase hole induced by the stationary pumping laser in the cladding waveguide enables the average dispersion value of TIRPCF to be close to zero, and the zero dispersion point quickly shifts to the short wavelength region.

Effect of Fe concentration on the nonlinear refraction and reverse saturable absorption in ferroelectric X-cut LiNbO_3 crystal

In this Letter, the effects of the iron （Fe） dopant concentration on the nonlinear optical properties of iron-doped ferroelectric X-cut LiNbO3 crystals plates are studied by using the Z-scan technique with a cw laser at the wave- length of 532 nm. The amount of iron in the compound is varied from 0 to 0.15 mol%. Measurements of nonlinear refractive index n2 and the nonlinear absorption coefficient β are determined. The sign of the nonlinear refractive index is found to be negative and the magnitude is on the order of 10-s cm2/W. This nonlinear effect increases as the concentration increases from 0 to 0.15 mol%. A good linear relationship is obtained between nonlinear refractive index, nonlinear absorption coefficient, and concentration.

Analysis of strong refractive effect within 11Li projectile structure

In the context of the double folding optical model,the strong refractive effect for elastic scattering of 11Li+12C and 11Li+28Si systems at incident energies of 29,50,and 60 MeV/n is studied.Real folded potentials are generated based on a variety of nucleon-nucleon interactions with the suggested density distributions for the halo structure of 11Li nuclei.The rearrangement term(RT)of the extended realistic density dependent CDM3Y6 effective interaction is considered.The imaginary potential was taken in the traditional standard Woods-Saxon form.Satisfactory results for the calculated potentials are obtained,with a slight effect of the RT in CDM3Y6 potential.Successful reproduction with a normalization factor close to one for the observed angular distributions of the elastic scattering differential cross section has been achieved using the derived potentials.The obtained reaction cross-section is studied as a guide by extrapolating our calculations and previous results.

Effect of synthesis conditions and surrounding medium on luminescence properties of YVO_4:Eu^(3+) nanopowders

Nanocrystalline yttrium vanadate doped with europium ions powders were synthesized via sol-gel method based on decomposition of metal-polymer complex. X-ray diffraction analysis showed that samples had pure tetragonal phase without any impurities. Scanning electron microscopy and static light scattering technique were used to study morphology and size of prepared nanoparticles. Average diameter of the nanoparticles was about 40 nm. The changes in structural and luminescence properties were observed as a function of the first and second calcination temperature. The optimal conditions for synthesis of nanoparticles were determined as Т1=500℃, t1=1 h; Т2=950 ℃, t2=1.5 h. The effect of different media surrounding the nanoparticles on their luminescence properties and lifetime was investigated and discussed in terms of effective refractive index. It was found that the observed lifetime of YVO4：Eu^3＋ 5 at.% nanophosphor was decreased from 0.64 ms in air（nmed=1） to 0.45 ms in chalcogenide glass As39S61（nmed=2.39）.

Plasmonic gold nanoshell induced spectral effects and refractive index sensing properties of excessively tilted fiber grating

We demonstrate a fiber refractive index（RI） sensor based on an excessively tilted fiber grating（ExTFG）immobilized by large-size plasmonic gold nanoshells（GNSs）. The GNSs are covalently linked on ExTFG surface.Experimental results demonstrate that both the intensity of the transverse magnetic（TM） and transverse electric（TE） modes of ExTFG are significantly modulated by the localized surface plasmon resonance（LSPR） of GNSs due to the wide-range absorption band. The wavelength RI sensitivities of the TM and TE modes in the low RI range of 1.333–1.379 are improved by ～25% and ～14% after GNSs immobilization, respectively, and the intensity RI sensitivities are ～599%/RIU and ～486%/RIU, respectively.

Decoupling co-existing surface plasmon polariton （SPP） modes in a nanowire plasmonic waveguide for quantitative mode analysis

Knowledge of surface plasmon polariton （SPP） modes in one-dimensional （1D） metallic nanostructures is essential for the development of subwavelength optical devices such as photonic circuits, integrated light sources, and photo- detectors. Despite many efforts to characterize the propagation parameters of these subwavelength 1D plasmonic waveguides, such as Ag nanowires, large discrepancies exist among available reports owing to their sensitivity to the relative weights of co-existing SPP modes and the lack of a method of decoupling these modes and analyzing them separately. In this work, we develop an interference method to distinguish different SPP modes that are simultaneously excited in a Ag nanowire waveguide and measure their propagation parameters separately. By extracting information from the propagation-distance- dependent intensity oscillations of the scattered light from the nanowire tip, the effective refractive indices, propagation lengths, and relative mode weights of co-existing SPP modes supported by the nanowire are derived from a mode interference model. These parameters depend strongly on the nanowire diameter and excitation wavelength. In particular, we demonstrate the possibility of selective excitation of different SPP modes by varying the nanowire diameter. This new mode analysis technique provides unique insights into the develop- ment and optimization of SPP-based applications.

An Integrated-Plasmonic Chip of Bragg Reflection and Mach-Zehnder Interference Based on Metal-Insulator-Metal Waveguide

In this paper,a Bragg reflector is proposed by placing periodic metallic gratings in the center of a metal-insulator-metal(MIM)waveguide.According to the effective refractive index modulation caused by different waveguide widths in a period,a reflection channel with a large bandwidth is firstly achieved.Besides,the Mach-Zehnder interference(MZI)effect arises by shifting the gratings away from the waveguide center.Owing to different optical paths with unequal indices on both sides of the grating,a narrow MZI band gap will be obtained.It is interesting to find out that the Bragg reflector and Mach-Zehnder interferometer are immune to each other,and their wavelengths can be manipulated by the period and the grating length,respectively.Additionally,we can obtain three MZI channels and one Bragg reflection channel by integrating three different gratings into a large period.The performances are investigated by finite-difference time-domain(FDTD)simulations.In the index range of 1.33–1.36,the maximum sensitivity for the structure is as high as 1500 nm/RIU,and it is believed that this proposed structure can find widely applications in the chip-scale optical communication and sensing areas.
