基于随机光栅的可调谐随机光纤激光器

提出一种基于随机光栅与高反射布拉格光栅(FBG)相结合的可调谐随机光纤激光器。利用980nm泵浦光源泵浦一段7m长的掺铒光纤(EDF)进行增益放大,由随机光栅提供随机反馈。随机光栅长7cm,具有约10000个折射率修改点,这些点由飞秒激光逐点写入,并沿光纤方向随机分布,两点相邻间隔小于10μm。同时,利用中心波长为1548nm的高反射FBG来组成半开放腔结构,实现了随机激光的输出。实验测得的泵浦阈值功率仅为18mW,斜率效率高达13.2%,并通过改变FBG的中心波长,实现了输出激光波长的可调谐,调谐范围为4.45nm(1548.04~1552.49nm)。得益于半开放式激光腔的设计和EDF的高增益,整个系统具有阈值低、效率高、结构简单等优点。     

Apparent power-law distributions in animal movements can arise from intraspecific interactions

Lévy flights have gained prominence for analysis of animal movement. In a Lévy flight, step-lengths are drawn from a heavy-tailed distribution such as a power law (PL), and a large number of empirical demonstrations have been published. Others, however, have suggested that animal movement is ill fit by PL distributions or contend a state-switching process better explains apparent Lévy flight movement patterns. We used a mix of direct behavioural observations and GPS tracking to understand step-length patterns in females of two related butterflies. We initially found movement in one species (Euphydryas editha taylori) was best fit by a bounded PL, evidence of a Lévy flight, while the other (Euphydryas phaeton) was best fit by an exponential distribution. Subsequent analyses introduced additional candidate models and used behavioural observations to sort steps based on intraspecific interactions (interactions were rare in E. phaeton but common in E. e. taylori). These analyses showed a mixed-exponential is favoured over the bounded PL for E. e. taylori and that when step-lengths were sorted into states based on the influence of harassing conspecific males, both states were best fit by simple exponential distributions. The direct behavioural observations allowed us to infer the underlying behavioural mechanism is a state-switching process driven by intraspecific interactions rather than a Lévy flight.     

Spatially constrained sparse coding scheme for natural scene categorization

Coding and pooling, the major two sequential procedures in sparse coding based scene categorization systems, have drawn much attention in recent years. Yet improvements have been made for coding or pooling separately, this paper proposes a spatially constrained scheme for sparse coding on both steps. Specifically, we employ the m-nearest neighbors of a local feature in the image space to improve the consistency of coding. The benefit is that similar image features will be encoded with similar codewords, which reduced the stochasticity of a conventional coding strategy. We also show that the Viola–Jones algorithm, which is well-known in face detection, can be tailored to learning receptive fields, embedding the spatially constrained information on the pooling step. Extensive experiments on the UIUC sport event, 15 natural scenes and the Caltech 101 database suggests that scene categorization performance of several popular algorithms can be ubiquitously improved by incorporating the proposed two spatially constrained sparse coding scheme.     

Modulation of iron–nickel layers composition by an external magnetic field

In this article, characterization of FeNi layers deposited on a Cu plate for variable magnetic field arrangement is shown. Layers were prepared using a simple electrodeposition process, from an aqueous solution of Fe²⁺ and Ni²⁺ sulfate salts containing boric acid, an iron activator. By application of variation of current values, times, and external magnetic field orientations, the resultant film quality was examined and the efficiency of the embedded elements was investigated. The studies show differences in the coating morphology and relative composition of ferromagnetic metals (Ni, Fe) electrodeposited on a not ferromagnetic (paramagnetic) metal (Cu). The obtained layers were investigated by Scanning Electron Microscopy and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy.

An extended stochastic pseudo-spectral Galerkin finite element method (XS-PS-GFEM) for elliptic equations with hybrid uncertainties

Nouy and Clement introduced the stochastic extended finite element method to solve linear elasticity problem defined on random domain. The material properties and boundary conditions were assumed to be deterministic. In this work, we extend this framework to account for multiple independent input uncertainties, namely, material, geometry, and external force uncertainties. The stochastic field is represented using the polynomial chaos expansion. The challenge in numerical integration over multidimensional probabilistic space is addressed using the pseudo-spectral Galerkin method. Thereafter, a sensitivity analysis based on Sobol indices using the derived stochastic extended Finite Element Method solution is presented. The efficiency and accuracy of the proposed novel framework against conventional Monte Carlo methods is elucidated in detail for a few one and two dimensional problems.     

On auto- and cross-interdependence in interval field finite element analysis

This paper discusses the concepts of auto- and cross-interdependence in interval field finite element analysis. In classic interval analysis, independent intervals are used to construct hyper-rectangular input spaces that correspond to the bounded uncertainty that is present on some model parameters. This is a direct result from the inability of modeling interdependence. Such assumption of complete independence might prove in some cases to be highly over-conservative. A first example is the modeling of spatial uncertainty, where the interdependence is governed by allowable spatial gradients of field realizations. Secondly, interdependence can also occur in case uncertainty in several structural quantities has the same root cause (eg, the manufacturing process). Recent work by the authors introduced concepts for modeling dependence between intervals in a spatial and multivariate context. However, it is unclear how an analyst has to deal with multiple quantities that have a spatial uncertainty component and are furthermore interdependent. This paper presents an approach to link multiple interval fields using recently introduced convex hull pair constructions and inverse distance weighting interpolation. Two case studies to illustrate the new methodology are included, proving the flexibility of the methodology in the modeling of auto- and cross-interdependence between multiple interval scalars and/or interval fields.
