一种新型低噪声掺Er光纤放大器的研究

提出了一种新型的低噪声掺Er光纤放大器(EDFA)。将光波长交错器的输入端口与普通EDFA的输出端相连接,用于降低噪声,信号光由光波长交错器的偶信道端口输出。利用光波长交错器的梳状反射特性,抑制EDFA的放大自发辐射(ASE),改善EDFA的噪声特性,使其具有低噪声的特点。采用4m长的掺Er光纤(EDF)作为增益介质,小信号功率为-26dBm时,在1530～1560nm带宽范围内,测得低噪声EDFA的噪声系数低于3.83dB,仅比噪声系数的量子极限3dB大0.83dB。

氧化石墨烯吸附水体中酚类有机污染物的分子动力学模拟

研究采用分子动力学模拟(Molecular dynamics simulation, MD)的方法, 以苯酚、α-萘酚和4-辛基酚为代表, 研究了酚类有机污染物(Phenolic Organic Pollutants, POPs)在氧化石墨烯(Graphene Oxide, GO)上单独和竞争吸附过程。通过自由能计算得到三种POPs在GO表面的吸附能分别为: 4-辛基酚(41.34 kJ/mol)>α-萘酚(33.23 kJ/mol)>苯酚(19.31 kJ/mol)。吸附过程中的主要作用力为POPs的疏水作用, 而分子团簇、范德华相互作用、静电相互作用以及氢键等在一定程度上增加了GO对POPs的吸附能力。在混合体系中, POPs之间存在明显的竞争吸附现象, 吸附过程包含了直接吸附和形成分子团簇的间接性吸附两个过程。本研究结果为含POPs水体的治理以及GO材料的设计和筛选提供了一定的理论依据。

An efficient speech recognition system in adverse conditions using the nonparametric regression

General Regression Neural Networks (GRNN) have been applied to phoneme identification and isolated word recognition in clean speech. In this paper, the authors extended this approach to Arabic spoken word recognition in adverse conditions. In fact, noise robustness is one of the most challenging problems in Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) and most of the existing recognition methods, which have shown to be highly efficient under noise-free conditions, fail drastically in noisy environments. The proposed system was tested for Arabic digit recognition at different Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) levels and under four noisy conditions: multispeakers babble background, car production hall (factory), military vehicle (leopard tank) and fighter jet cockpit (buccaneer) issued from NOISEX-92 database. The proposed scheme was successfully compared to the similar recognizers based on the Multilayer Perceptrons (MLP), the Elman Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and the discrete Hidden Markov Model (HMM). The experimental results showed that the use of nonparametric regression with an appropriate smoothing factor (spread) improved the generalization power of the neural network and the global performance of the speech recognizer in noisy environments.     

Seawater temperature and salinity sensing based on in-fiber Michelson-Fabry-Perrot hybrid interferometer employing frequency domain decomposition method

We propose an in-fiber Michelson-Fabry-Perrot (M-FP) hybrid interferometer for the simultaneous measurement of seawater temperature and salinity. The sensor head consists of two parallel hetero Fabry-Perot (FP) cavities fabricated on the end face of the twin core fiber (TCF). A fiber fusion taper is used to split and recouple the light in the two cores. In this case, the Vernier effect can be obtained which can greatly enhance the sensitivity and solve the problem of temperature cross-sensitivity. Different from the traditional demodulation method based on envelop detection, we employed frequency domain decomposition method (FDDM) to demodulate the sensing signal. The simulation results indicate that the proposed sensor has high sensitivity to salinity and temperature. Thanks to the merits of high sensitivity, ease of fabrication and small footprint, the proposed seawater temperature and salinity sensor would have potential applications in marine science, food industry and ocean ranching.
