Propagation Properties of Backward Lamb Waves in Plate Investigated by Dynamic Photoelastic Technique

The dynamic photoelastic technique is employed to visualize and quantify the propagation properties of backward Lamb waves in a plate. Higher energy leakage of second-order symmetric backward wave mode S2b in contrast to third-order anti-symmetric backward mode A3b is shown by the dispersion curve of a plate immersed in water, and then verified by experiments. To avoid the considerable high leakage, the plate is placed in air, both group and phase velocities of modes S2b and A3b in the glass plate are experimentally measured. In comparison with the theoretical values, less than 5% errors are found in experiments.

Propagation properties of radially polarized Pearcey–Gauss vortex beams in free space

We investigate a family of radially polarized Pearcey–Gauss vortex beams(RPPGVBs),obtain the general propagation expressions of an RPPGVB,and study the intensity distribution,phase pattern,spin currents as well as the orbital currents when the RPPGVB propagates in free space.The focal plane and the intensity of the focal point can be adjusted by changing the position of the vortex and the scaling factors.We also investigate how the waist size influences the propagation properties.

Propagation properties of foreshock cavitons: Cluster observations

Foreshock cavitons are transient phenomena observed in the terrestrial foreshock region.They are characterized by a simultaneous depression of magnetic field magnitude and plasma density,which are bounded with enhancements of these two parameters and surrounded by ultralow frequency(ULF)waves.Previous studies focused on the interplanetary magnetic field(IMF)conditions,solar wind(SW)conditions,and the growth of the foreshock waves related to the generation of foreshock cavitons.Previously,a multipoint spacecraft analysis method using Cluster data was applied to analyze only two foreshock cavitons,and this method did not consider uncertainties.In this study,multipoint spacecraft analysis methods,including the timing method,the minimum directional derivative(MDD)method,and the spatiotemporal difference(STD)method are applied to determine the velocity in both spacecraft and solar wind frames.The propagation properties show good agreement with previous results from simulations and observations that most cavitons move sunward in the solar wind frame,with the velocities larger than the Alfvén speed.The propagation properties of foreshock cavitons support the formation mechanism of cavitons in previous simulations,which suggested that cavitons are formed due to the nonlinear evolution of compressive ULF waves.We find that there is clear decreasing trend between the size of cavitons and their velocity in the solar wind frame.In addition,the timing method considering errors has been applied to study the evolution properties by comparing the velocities with errors of the leading and trailing edges,and we identify three stable cavitons and one contracting caviton,which has not been studied before.Most cavitons should remain stable when they travel toward the Earth’s bow shock.The relationship between the size of foreshock cavitons and their distance from the bow shock is also discussed.

Propagation Properties of Radio Wave in Multipath Scattering Mobile Channel

Based on a physical model for the radio wave propagation in multipath scattering environments, this paper analyses and simulates the propagation properties as well as time-selective behavior of radio waves in different urban microcellular mobile radio channels. The approach of propagation properties causes a generation of complex impulse responses to be like that given by the statistics of the underlying channel behavior. Fading characteristics of the multipath structures can be efficiently simulated by reproducing the physical wave interference process, thereby incorporating the different channel characteristics that are observed in different urban environments.

Propagation of Gauss-Bessel beams in turbulent atmosphere

This paper studies the propagation properties of Gauss-Bessel beams in a turbulent atmosphere. Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, it derives the intensity distribution expression for such beams propagating in a turbulent atmosphere. Then the influence of turbulence and source beam parameters on the beam propagation is studied in great detail. It finds that the intensity distribution of Gauss-Bessel beams will change into Gaussian profile in a turbulent atmosphere, and that stronger turbulence and smaller topological charges will lead to a faster changing.

Propagation of cylindrical vector beams in a turbulent atmosphere

Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, the propagation of cylindrical vector beams in a turbulent atmosphere is investigated. The intensity distribution and the polarization degree of beams on propagation are studied. It is found that the beam profile has a Gaussian shape under the influence of the atmospheric turbulence, and the polarization distribution shows a dip in the cross section as the beam propagates in the turbulent atmosphere. It is also found that the beam profile and the polarization distribution are closely related to beam parameter and atmospheric turbulence.

Numerical simulation of super-continuum laser propagation in turbulent atmosphere

Considering the atmospheric extinction and turbulence effects,we investigate the propagation performances of supercontinuum laser sources in atmospheric turbulence statistically by using the numerical simulation method,and the differences in propagation properties between the super-continuum(SC)laser and its pump laser are also analyzed.It is found that the propagation characteristics of super-continuum laser are almost similar to those of the pump laser.The degradation of source coherence degree may cause the relative beam spreading and scintillation indexes to decrease at different propagation distances or different turbulence strengths.The root-mean-square value of beam wandering is insensitive to the variation of source correlation length,and less aperture averaging occurs when the laser source becomes less coherent.Additionally,from the point of view of beam wandering,the SC laser has no advantage over the pump laser.Although the pump laser can bring about a bigger aperture average,the SC laser has a lower scintillation which may be due to the multiple wavelength homogenization effects on intensity fluctuations.This would be the most important virtue of the SC laser that can be utilized to improve the performance of laser engineering.

Some Applications of the Non Propagation Theorem

We use C*-algebras to determine non-propagation estimates for a certain class of generalized Schr?dinger operators acting on L2(x) , where X is a locally compact group. In particular, the Schr?dinger operators on trees are included.

Propagation of the off-axis superposition of partially coherent beams through atmospheric turbulence

The propagation properties of the off-axis superposition of partially coherent beams through atmospheric turbulence and their beam quality in terms of the mean-squared beam width w（z） and the power in the bucket （PIB） are studied in detail, where the effects of partial coherence, off-axis beam superposition and atmospheric turbulence are considered. The analytical expressions for the intensity, the beam width and the PIB are derived, and illustrative examples are given numerically. It is shown that the maximum intensity/max and the PIB decrease and w（z） increases as the refraction index structure constant Cn^2 increases. Therefore, the turbulence results in a degradation of the beam quality. However, the resulting partially coherent beam with a smaller value of spatial correlation parameter γ and larger values of separate distance Xd and beam number M is less affected by the turbulence than that with a larger value of y and smaller values of Xd and M. The main results obtained in this paper are explained physically.

Fractional Fourier transform of Lorentz beams

This paper introduces Lorentz beams to describe certain laser sources that produce highly divergent fields.The fractional Fourier transform （FRFT） is applied to treat the propagation of Lorentz beams.Based on the definition of convolution and the convolution theorem of the Fourier transform,an analytical expression for a Lorentz beam passing through a FRFT system has been derived.By using the derived formula,the properties of a Lorentz beam in the FRFT plane are illustrated numerically.

Asymptotic Speed of Wave Propagation for A Discrete Reaction-Diffusion Equation

We deal with asymptotic speed of wave propagation for a discrete reactlon-diffusion equation. We find the minimal wave speed c★ from the characteristic equation and show that c★ is just the asymptotic speed of wave propagation. The isotropic property and the existence of solution of the initial value problem for the given equation are also discussed.

HOM damping requirements and measurements for CEPC 650-MHz 2-cell cavity

Introduction The circular electron-positron collider(CEPC)will use a 650-MHz RF system with 240 two-cell cavities for the collider.The collider is a double ring with shared cavities for Higgs operation and separate cavities for W and Z operations.The higher-order modes(HOM)excited by the intense beam bunches must be damped to avoid additional cryogenic loss and multi-bunch instabilities.Materials and methods To get the real damping results,two prototypes of HOM coupler have been fabricated and installed on the 650-MHz two-cell cavity.The HOMs have been verified by bead pulling method.A test bench with two 2-cell cavities is used to measure the real damping results and study HOM propagating properties for a cavity string.Conclusion In this paper,the impedance budget,HOM damping and HOM power requirements for the CEPC collider ring are given.The damping results measured for the fundamental mode and HOMs seem good compared with the simulated results.The absorbing efficiency of the absorber and the extraction power efficiency of HOM couplers were also achieved.
