In this paper, the finite element method is used to investigate the absorption characteristics of a viscoelastic panel periodically embedded with a type of infinite-long noncoaxially cylindrical locally resonant scatterers(LRSs). The effect of the core position in the coating layer of the LRS on the low-frequency(500 Hz–3000 Hz) sound absorption property is investigated. With increasing the longitudinal core eccentricity e, there occur few changes in the absorptance at the frequencies below 1500 Hz, however, the absorptance above 1500 Hz becomes gradually better and the valid absorption(with absorptance above 0.8) frequency band(VAFB)of the viscoelastic panel becomes accordingly broader. The absorption mechanism is revealed by using the displacement field maps of the viscoelastic panel and the steel slab. The results show two typical resonance modes. One is the overall resonance mode(ORM) caused by steel backing, and the other is the core resonance mode(CRM) caused by LRS. The absorptance of the viscoelastic panel by ORM is induced mainly by the vibration of the steel slab and affected little by core position. On the contrary, with increasing the core eccentricity, the CRM shifts toward high frequency band and decouples with the ORM, leading to two separate absorption peaks and the broadened VAFB of the panel.展开更多

A method combined plane wave expansion and finite element analysis is extended for out-of-plane incidence. The reflection characteristics of the anechoic layers with cavities and locally resonant scatterers are discussed. The backing is a steel plate followed by an air half space. Under this approximate zero transmission backing condition, the reflection reduction is induced by the absorption enhancement. The absorption mechanism is explained by the scattering/absorption cross section of the isolated scatterer. Three types of resonant modes which can induce efficient absorption are revealed. Due to the fact that the frequencies of the resonant modes are related to the size of the scatterers, anechoic layers with scatterers of mixed size can broaden the absorption band. A genetic optimization algorithm is adopted to design the anechoic layer with scatterers of mixed size at a desired frequency band from 2 kHz to l0 kHz for normal incidence, and the influence of the incident angle is also discussed.展开更多

The simul...Based on the diffraction theory model for hot-image formation, the evolution of hot-images induced by multiscatterers located in the same plane perpendicular to the propagation axis is numerically simulated. The simulation results show that hot-images induced by coplanar multi-scatterers are also coplanar no matter whether they exist simultaneously or severally. However, if they exist simultaneously the peak intensity of the primary hot-images is weaker than if they exist severally. The unequal competition for energy between the scattered beams from the scatterers leads to the fact that part of the corresponding hot-images are relatively enhanced and the others are restrained. The results show that the hot-images of certain scatterers become stronger when any of these parameters, i.e. amplitude modulation coefficient, phase modulation coefficient and size of the surrounding scatterer, decrease.展开更多

However, a prior date of surface change is required to select a feasible image pair. We propose an automatic spatio-temporal change detection method by identifying the temporary coherent scatterers. Based on amplitude time series, χ^(2)-test and iterative single pixel change detection are proposed to identify all step-times: the moments of the surface change. Then the parameters, e.g., deformation velocity and relative height, are estimated and corresponding coherent periods are identified by using interferometric phase time series. With identified temporary coherent scatterers, different types of temporal surface changes can be classified using the location of the coherent periods and spatial significant changes are identified combining point density and F values. The main advantage of our method is automatically detecting spatio-temporal surface changes without prior information. Experimental results by the proposed method show that both appearing and disappearing buildings with their step-times are successfully identified and results by ascending and descending SAR images show a good agreement.展开更多

文摘Bilayer MoS2 is a promising channel candidate for extending Moore’s law,owing to its optimal channel thickness and improved suppression of extrinsic scattering compared to monolayers.However,its intrinsic phonon-limited electron mobility is severely limited by enhanced K–Q intervalley scattering arising from the multivalley conduction band feature inherent to the bilayer structure.To overcome this bottleneck,we propose a“valley separation engineering”strategy that combines a twist angle near 30°with applied stress.Our first-principles calculations demonstrate that although valley separation can be continuously increased using this strategy,the electron mobility saturates at∼200 cm^(2)⋅V^(−1)⋅s^(−1).The saturation is attributed to the competition between the reduced effective mass and enhanced intravalley scattering induced by phonon softening once the detrimental intervalley scattering is effectively suppressed by sufficient valley separation.This study establishes a theoretical upper limit for the intrinsic electron transport of bilayer MoS2 masked by severe intervalley scattering.

文摘By employing a full quantum theory of electron-photon scattering in intense laser fields,we calculate the angularresolved radiation rate of the fundamental wave in Thomson scattering.We investigate the dependence of radiation rate on Euler angles and elucidate the underlying physical mechanism.The figure-8 profile of the radiation rate within the polarization plane is validated,while its evolution with respect to laser intensity and electron momentum is illustrated.Our findings reveal that in lower-intensity laser fields and for slow electron motion,the angular-resolved radiation rate exhibits distinct dipole emission characteristics.However,significant changes are observed at high laser intensities and/or large electron momenta,leading to pronounced alterations in the angular-resolved radiation rate.Remarkably similar variation patterns can be achieved by proportionally adjusting both laser intensity and electron momentum.

文摘Scattering obscures information carried by waves by producing speckle patterns,posing a fundamental challenge across diverse fields,from microscopy to astronomy.Although machine learning has recently shown promise in speckle analysis,existing approaches are hindered by their dependence on large,labeled datasets—a significant bottleneck in many real-world applications.Here,we introduce speckle unsupervised recognition and evaluation(SURE),a groundbreaking unsupervised learning strategy for speckle recognition that eliminates the need for labeled training data.SURE's distinctive feature lies in its ability to extract invariant features through advanced clustering algorithms to enable direct classification of high-level information from speckle patterns without prior knowledge.We demonstrate the transformative potential of this approach in two key applications:(1)a noninvasive glucose monitoring system that accurately tracks glucose concentrations over time without extensive calibration and(2)a high-throughput communication system using multimode fibers,achieving improved performance in dynamic environments.In addition,we showcase SURE's unprecedented capability to classify objects hidden behind obstacles using scattered light,further broadening its scope.This versatile approach opens new frontiers in biomedical diagnostics,quantum network decoupling,and remote sensing,unlocking a transformative new paradigm for extracting information from seemingly random optical patterns.

文摘Muon scattering tomography(MST) is a powerful noninvasive imaging technique with significant applications in nuclear material detection and security screening.Traditional MST usually relies on the point of closest approach(PoCA) algorithm to reconstruct images from muon scattering data;however,PoCA often suffers from suboptimal image clarity and resolution.To overcome these challenges,we propose a novel approach that leverages reinforcement learning(RL) to enhance MST reconstruction,termed the μRL-enhanced method.By framing the MST optimization task as an RL problem,we developed an intelligent agent capable of dynamically adjusting the key PoCA parameters.The agent is trained using a multi-objective reward function that guides the optimization toward higher-quality reconstructions.Our experimental results show that theμRL-enhanced method significantly outperforms the traditional PoCA baseline acros s multiple benchmark metrics.Specifically,the proposed approach on average attains a 307% improvement in the intersection over union(IoU),a 79% increase in the structural similarity index measure(SSIM),and a 8.4% enhancement in the peak signal-to-noise ratio(PSNR) across four experiments.Furthermore,when benchmarked against the maximum likelihood scattering and displacement(MLSD)algorithm,the μRL-enhanced method offers modest gains in PS NR and IoU,together with a one-third increase in SSIM.These improvements demonstrate the enhanced reconstruction accuracy and structural fidelity of the μRL-enhanced method,highlighting its potential to advance MST technologies and their applications.

文摘In complex media scattering,multiple scattering severely degrades the optical wavefront and results in blurred images,while the spectral distortion caused by the scattering effect leads to severe color distortion.Achieving color high-resolution imaging through scattering media remains a significant challenge.Here,we propose a broadband,polarization-based method for color high-resolution imaging through scattering media.This approach enables high-resolution reconstruction by effectively separating the speckle illumination pattern from the mixed-scattering field information,leveraging polarization common-mode characteristics.Concurrently,it incorporates chromatic balance compensation to correct spectral aliasing in the scattered light field,enabling color high-resolution imaging through complex scattering media.To further optimize color distortion caused by scattering,a compensation strategy combining color constancy and white balance theory is adopted.Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly enhances both spatial resolution and color fidelity across various scattering conditions and target materials,showcasing strong adaptability and robustness.This approach provides an effective solution for achieving high-resolution color optical imaging in complex scattering environments.
