The influence of end reflectivity on the excess noise factor in distributed feedback lasers is analyzed. It is shown that the end reflectivity affects the excess-noise factor markedly in the weak and moderate coupling region. In particular, in this coupling region the noise level in the laser structure strongly depends on the end reflectivity phase. Moreover, in the weak and moderate coupling region, the excess-noise factor decreases with an increasing end reflectivity amplitude; in the strong coupling region the opposite behavior is observed 相似文献

We discuss hardware/software co-processing on a hybrid processor for a compute- and data-intensive multispectral imaging algorithm, k-means clustering. The experiments are performed on two models of the Altera Excalibur board, the first using the soft IP core 32-bit NIOS 1.1 RISC processor, and the second with the hard IP core ARM processor. In our experiments, we compare performance of the sequential k-means algorithm with three different accelerated versions. We consider granularity and synchronization issues when mapping an algorithm to a hybrid processor. Our results show that speedup of 11.8X is achieved by migrating computation to the Excalibur ARM hardware/software as compared to software only on a Gigahertz Pentium III. Speedup on the Excalibur NIOS is limited by the communication cost of transferring data from external memory through the processor to the customized circuits. This limitation is overcome on the Excalibur ARM, in which dual-port memories, accessible to both the processor and configurable logic, have the biggest performance impact of all the techniques studied. 相似文献

The authors present the results of birefringence measurements in highly birefringent optical bow-tie fibers under hydrostatic pressure up to 100 MPa. The birefringence measurement method is based on twist-induced effects and has never before been applied in a high-pressure environment. The experiments were conducted using a specially designed pressure facility, which made it possible to simultaneously generate several mechanical perturbations, including twist and hydrostatic stress, and to investigate their effects on mode transmission in optical fibers. A comparison with theoretical results as well as with previous experimental data on pressure influence on the beat length parameter in highly birefringent fibers is provided.<> 相似文献

We present a novel approach allowing for a simple, fast and automated morphological analysis of three-dimensional image stacks (z-stacks) featuring fibrillar structures from optically cleared soft biological tissues. Five non-atherosclerotic tissue samples from human abdominal aortas were used to outline the multi-purpose methodology, applicable to various tissue types. It yields a three-dimensional orientational distribution of relative amplitudes, representing the original collagen fibre morphology, identifies regions of isotropy where no preferred fibre orientations are observed and determines structural parameters throughout anisotropic regions for the analysis and numerical modelling of biomechanical quantities such as stress and strain. Our method combines optical tissue clearing with second-harmonic generation imaging, Fourier-based image analysis and maximum-likelihood estimation for distribution fitting. With a new sample preparation method for arteries, we present, for the first time to our knowledge, a continuous three-dimensional distribution of collagen fibres throughout the entire thickness of the aortic wall, revealing novel structural and organizational insights into the three arterial layers. 相似文献

In this paper, we present a number of novel pure-carbon structures generated from cyclo[18]carbon. Due to the very high reactivity of cyclo[18]carbon, it is possible to link these molecules together to form bigger molecular systems. In our studies, we generated new structures containing 18, 36 and 72 carbon atoms. They are of different shapes including ribbons, sheets and tubes. All these new structures were obtained in virtual reactions driven by external forces. For every reaction, the energy requirement was evaluated exactly when the corresponding transition state was found or it was estimated through our new approach. A small HOMO–LUMO gap in these nanostructures indicates easy excitations and the multiple bonds network indicates their high reactivity. Both of these factors suggest that some potential applications of the new nanostructures are as components of therapeutically active carbon quantum dots, terminal fragments of graphene or carbon nanotubes obtained after fracture or growing in situ in catalytic reactions leading to the formation of carbonaceous materials. 相似文献

Representing the majority of living animals, insects are the most ubiquitous biological organisms on Earth. Being able to simulate insect swarms could enhance visual realism of various graphical applications. However, the very complex nature of insect behaviors makes its simulation a challenging computational problem. To address this, we present a general biologically‐inspired framework for visual simulation of insect swarms. Our approach is inspired by the observation that insects exhibit emergent behaviors at various scales in nature. At the low level, our framework automatically selects and configures the most suitable steering algorithm for the local collision avoidance task. At the intermediate level, it processes insect trajectories into piecewise‐linear segments and constructs probability distribution functions for sampling waypoints. These waypoints are then evaluated by the Metropolis‐Hastings algorithm to preserve global structures of insect swarms at the high level. With this biologically inspired, data‐driven approach, we are able to simulate insect behaviors at different scales and we evaluate our simulation using both qualitative and quantitative metrics. Furthermore, as insect data could be difficult to acquire, our framework can be adopted as a computer‐assisted animation tool to interpret sketch‐like input as user control and generate simulations of complex insect swarming phenomena. 相似文献

Mass transfer investigations in a two‐phase gas‐liquid Couette‐Taylor flow (CTF) reactor and a numerical flow simulation are reported. The CTF reactor is characterized by high values of the mass transfer parameters. Previous mass transfer investigations have yielded high values of the volumetric mass transfer coefficients (of the order of 10–1 s–1) and the specific interfacial area, compared to those obtained in a stirred tank (103 m2 m–3). In order to intensify mass transfer in the CTF reactor, an eccentric rotor (rotating inner cylinder) was used. In the eccentric annulus with rotating inner cylinder, due to frequent variation of the hydrodynamic flow field parameters, nonlinear hydrodynamic conditions occurred. These conditions can influence the rate of mass transfer. The experimental results of benzaldehyde oxidation in an eccentric CTF reactor confirmed an increase in mass transfer, as against a concentric CTF reactor. Numerical simulation of the Couette‐Taylor (helical) flow was performed in a concentric and in an eccentric annulus. Calculation of parameters such as velocity, static pressure, kinetic energy and energy dissipation rate revealed a significant effect of gap eccentricity on the flow behavior. 相似文献

The theoretical understanding of the principle of pressure-induced polarization coupling is discussed, and the improved construction, operation, and temperature desensitization of a high-pressure (up to 100 MPa) fiber-optic sensor in two configurations is described. The sensor exploits the effect of polarization coupling between two orthogonally polarized eigenmodes of a highly birefringent, polarization-preserving optical fiber which serves as the sensing element. An idea of temperature desensitization of the sensor output signal is demonstrated. The requirements for an electronic measurement system based on the sensor are discussed, including indentification of the parametric and functional specifications and constraints of such a system 相似文献

A new approach to strain measurement based on Fourier analysis of strain-induced polarization and intermodal coupling in highly birefringent, (HB) two-mode elliptical-core fibers is presented. The results indicate that Fourier spectra of sine-like, strain-dependent characteristics can create a very important tool in projecting practical devices which will measure longitudinal strain in specific applications 相似文献

We present a novel framework to evaluate multi‐agent crowd simulation algorithms based on real‐world observations of crowd movements. A key aspect of our approach is to enable fair comparisons by automatically estimating the parameters that enable the simulation algorithms to best fit the given data. We formulate parameter estimation as an optimization problem, and propose a general framework to solve the combinatorial optimization problem for all parameterized crowd simulation algorithms. Our framework supports a variety of metrics to compare reference data and simulation outputs. The reference data may correspond to recorded trajectories, macroscopic parameters, or artist‐driven sketches. We demonstrate the benefits of our framework for example‐based simulation, modeling of cultural variations, artist‐driven crowd animation, and relative comparison of some widely‐used multi‐agent simulation algorithms. 相似文献
