SIGNAL SAMPLING DEPTH-INDUCED SKEW EFFECT IN SIMS DEPTH PROFILING

The effect of signal sampling depth in SIMS on profile was not reported We have found that the maximum sampling depth in SIMS is considerably bigger than the mean penetration range of primary ions and can skew the profile of secondary ion counts for implanted samples on the more deeper direction from the surface. The effect of maximum sampling depth is true not only for implanted samples but also for the samples in the middle of which there is an other impurity-rich layer. The action principle of signal sampling depth effect and the method of decreasing the error produced by the effect are discussed in this

Near field 3-D imaging approach for joint high-resolution imaging and phase error correction

This paper combines compressed sensing (CS) imaging theory and range migration algorithm (RMA), and then proposes a near-field three-dimensional (3-D) imaging approach for joint high-resolution imaging and phase error correction. Firstly, a sparse measurement matrix construction method based on a logistic sequence is proposed, which conducts nonlinear transformation for the determined logistic sequence, making it obey uniform distribution, then conducts sign function mapping, and generates the pseudorandom sequence with Bernoulli distribution, thus leading to good signal recovery under down-sampling and easy availability for engineering realization. Secondly, in combination with the RMA imaging approach, the dictionary with all scene information and phase error correction is constructed for CS signal recovery and error correction. Finally, the non-quadratic solution model jointing imaging and phase error correction based on regularization is built, and it is solved by two steps - the separable surrogate functionals (SSF) iterative shrinkage algorithm is adopted to realize target scattering estimate; the iteration mode is adopted for the correction of the dictionary model, so as to achieve the goal of error correction and highly-focused imaging. The proposed approach proves to be effective through numerical simulation and real measurement in anechoic chamber. The results show that, the proposed approach can realize high-resolution imaging in the case of less data; the designed measurement matrix has better non-coherence and easy availability for engineering realization. The proposed approach can effectively correct the phase error, and achieve highly-focused target image. © 2017 Beijing Institute of Aerospace Information.

Investigation of Image Fusion Between High-Resolution Image and Multi-spectral Image

On the basis of a thorough understanding of the physical characteristics of remote sensing image, this paper employs the theories of wavelet transform and signal sampling to develop a new image fusion algorithm. The algorithm has been successfully applied to the image fusion of SPOT PAN and TM of Guangdong province, China. The experimental results show that a perfect image fusion can be built up by using the image analytical solution and re-construction in the image frequency domain based on the physical characteristics of the image formation. The method has demonstrated that the results of the image fusion do not change spectral characteristics of the original image.

Photonic Analog-to-Digital Conversion of Time-Continuous Signals using a TDM Switching-Wavelength Sampling Source

A 20 Gsample/s photonic analog-to-digital converter is constructed using a 4-switching-wavelength repetitive sampling pulse source. The signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SINAD) is measured to be 44.5 dB and corresponds to 7 effective number of bits.

Waveform timing performance of a 5 GS/s fast pulse sampling module with DRS4

We first clarify timing issues of non-uniform sampling intervals regarding a 5 GS/s fast pulse sampling module with DRS4. A calibration strategy is proposed, and as a result, the waveform timing performance is improved to below 10 ps RMS. We then further evaluate waveform-timing performance of the module by comparing with a 10 GS/s oscilloscope in a setup with plastic scintillators and fast PMTs. Different waveform timing algorithms are employed for analysis, and the module shows comparable timing performance with that of the oscilloscope.

Enhancement on the generation of sampled phase-only holograms

Past research has demonstrated that if the intensity image of an object is uniformly down-sampled and converted into a Fresnel hologram, the phase component alone will be sufficient to reconstruct the source image. However, due to down-sampling, the edge and line patterns are degraded heavily. In this Letter, we propose an enhance- ment on the parent method by incorporating an adaptive down-sampling lattice. A hologram generated with our proposed method, which is referred to as the edge-enhanced sampled phase-only hologram, preserves favorable visual quality on both the shaded regions as well as the edge patterns of the object image.

Dynamic lock-in compensation for mechanically dithered ring laser gyros

In ring laser gyros （RLGs）, dynamic lock-in, which results from information loss in the lock-in region, occurs when a constant sine bias is introduced. However, sampling some signals in the lock-in region for a particular duration allows the retrieval of lost information. It is demonstrated how dynamic lock-in and the flat region in the input-output curve near the zero angle rate can be eliminated after compensation.
