Three deep learning models—Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks with attention mechanism, Video Vision Transformer (ViViT), and Long-term Recurrent Convolutional Network (LRCN)—were evaluated to determine the most effective method for analyzing time series patterns generated by a Michelson interferometer. The interferometer was used to detect vibration modes created by handwriting, capturing time-series data from the diffraction patterns. Among these models, the LSTM-Attention network achieved the highest validation accuracy, reaching up to 92%, outperforming both ViViT and LRCN. These findings highlight the potential of deep learning in material science for detecting and classifying vibration patterns. The powerful performance of the LSTM-Attention model suggests that it could be applied to similar classification tasks in related fields.展开更多

Two interferometers outputs are connected to an electric band-pass filter via a detector respectively. The central frequencies of the two filters are selected adaptively according to the disturbance frequency. The disturbance frequency is obtained by either frequency spectrum of the two interferometers outputs. An alarm is given out only when the Sagnac interferometer output is changed. A disturbance position is determined by calculating a time difference with a cross-correlation method between the filter output connected to the Sagnac interferometer and derivative of the filter output connected to the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The frequency spectrum, derivative and cross-correlation are obtained by a signal processing system. Theory analysis and simulation results are presented. They show that the system structure and location method are effective, accurate, and immune to environmental variations.展开更多

文摘A new type of polarization sensitive interferometer is proposed,named the Delta interferometer,inspired by its geometry resembling the Greek letter Delta.The main difference between the Delta interferometer and other existing interferometers,such as Michelson,Mach-Zehnder and Young's double-slit interferometers,is that the two interfering paths are asymmetrical in the Delta interferometer.The visibility of the first-order interference pattern observed in the Delta interferometer is dependent on the polarization of the incidental light.Optical coherence theory is employed to interpret this phenomenon and single-mode continuous-wave laser light is employed to verify the theoretical predictions.The theoretical and experimental results are consistent.The Delta interferometer is a perfect tool to study the reflection of electromagnetic fields in different polarizations and may find applications in polarization-sensitive scenarios.

文摘A dispersion interferometer(DI)has been installed and operates on the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak(EAST).This DI system utilizes a continuous-wave 9.3μm CO_(2)laser source to measure line-averaged electron densities accurately.In contrast to conventional interferometers,the DI does not require substantial vibration isolations or compensating systems to reduce the impact of vibrations in the optical path.It also employs a ratio of modulation amplitudes,ensuring it remains immune to the variations in detected intensities.Without a variation compensation system,the DI system on EAST reaches a density resolution of less than1.8×10^(-2)πrad and a temporal resolution of 20μs.The measurements made by the POlarimeterINTerferometer(POINT)system and the far-infrared hydrogen cyanide(HCN)interferometer are remarkably consistent with the DI’s results.The possibility of fringe jumps and the impact of refraction in high-density discharge can be significantly decreased using a shorter wavelength laser source.A rapid density change of 3×10^(19)m^(-3)during 0.15 s has been measured accurately in shot No.114755 of EAST.Additionally,the DI system demonstrates dependability and stability under 305 s long-pulse discharges in shot No.122054.

文摘Far-infrared(FIR)interferometer is widely used to measure the electron density in the magnetically confined fusion plasma devices.A new FIR laser interferometer with a total of 13 channels(8 horizontal channels and 5 oblique channels)is under development on the HL-3tokamak by using the formic-acid laser(HCOOH,f=694 GHz).In order to investigate the boundary electron density activity during the divertor discharge,three horizontal interferometry channels located at Z=-97,-76,76.5 cm have been successfully developed on HL-3 in 2023,and put into operation in recent experimental campaign,with a time resolution of<1.0μs and lineintegrated electron density resolution of~7.0×10^(16) m^(-2).This paper mainly focuses on the optical design of the three-channel interferometry system,as well as optical elements and recent experimental result on HL-3.
文摘The present study delves into the application of investigating quantum state behaviour,particularly focusing on coherent and superposition states.These states,characterized by their remarkable stability and precision,have found extensive utility in various domains of quantum mechanics and quantum information processing.Coherent states are valuable for manipulating quantum systems with accuracy.Superposition states allow quantum systems to exist in numerous configurations at the same time,which paves the way for quantum computing’s capacity for parallel processing.The research accentuates the crucial role of quantum error correction(QEC)in ensuring the stability and reliability of quantum information processing systems.Quantum systems are prone to errors from decoherence and environmental noise,making QEC essential for ensuring accurate results by employing the Shor code,an error-correcting code devised by Peter Shor,it becomes feasible to detect and rectify errors that may arise during quantum computations.The Shor code detects and corrects both bit-flip and phase-flip errors,greatly enhancing the robustness of quantum information systems.This research offers insights into the multifaceted utility of MZI(Mach-Zehnder interferometer)and its relevance in the advancement of quantum technology.By integrating QEC with the capabilities of MZI,this study offers a holistic approach to advancing the precision and reliability of quantum technologies.

文摘A compact and high-resolution fiber-optic refractive index(RI)sensor based on a microwave photonic filter(MPF)is proposed and experimentally validated.The sensing head utilizes a cascaded in-line interferometer fabricated by an input single-mode fiber(SMF)tapered fusion with no-core fiber-thin-core fiber(TCF)-SMF.The surrounding RI(SRI)can be demodulated by tracing the passband’s central frequency of the MPF,which is constructed by the cascaded in-line interferometer,electro-optic modulator,and a section of dispersion compensation fiber.The sensitivity of the sensor is tailorable through the use of different lengths of TCF.Experimental results reveal that with a 30 mm length of TCF,the sensor achieves a maximum theoretical sensitivity and resolution of-1.403 GHz∕refractive index unit eRIUT and 1.425×10^(-7) RIU,respectively,which is at least 6.3 times higher than what has been reported previously.Furthermore,the sensor exhibits temperature-insensitive characteristics within the range of 25℃-75℃,with a temperatureinduced frequency change of only±1.5 MHz.This value is significantly lower than the frequency change induced by changes in the SRI.The proposed MPF-based cascaded in-line interferometer RI sensor possesses benefits such as easy manufacture,low cost,high resolution,and temperature insensitivity.

文摘Distributed fiber-optic sensing(DFOS)can turn the worldwide fiber network into a sensing array,which may immensely extend the sensing range and approaches for hazard assessment,earth observation,and human activity measurement.However,most existing DFOS schemes cannot simultaneously give dual attention to the detection ability(for example,sensing distance)and multipoint localizing function.A mirror-image correlation method is proposed and can precisely extract the time delay between two original signals from their composite detected signal.This method enables the distributed vibration sensing function of the laser interferometer and maintains its high detection ability.We demonstrate its feasibility by simultaneously localizing multiple knocking vibrations on a 250-km round-trip fiber and distinguishing traffic vibrations at two urban positions in a field test.The localizing precision is analyzed and satisfies the requirements for fiber network sensing.
文摘In this paper, we explore the classification of vibration modes generated by handwriting on an optical desk using deep learning architectures. Three deep learning models—Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks with attention mechanism, Video Vision Transformer (ViViT), and Long-term Recurrent Convolutional Network (LRCN)—were evaluated to determine the most effective method for analyzing time series patterns generated by a Michelson interferometer. The interferometer was used to detect vibration modes created by handwriting, capturing time-series data from the diffraction patterns. Among these models, the LSTM-Attention network achieved the highest validation accuracy, reaching up to 92%, outperforming both ViViT and LRCN. These findings highlight the potential of deep learning in material science for detecting and classifying vibration patterns. The powerful performance of the LSTM-Attention model suggests that it could be applied to similar classification tasks in related fields.

文摘The mathematical model of 4He quantum interferometer gyroscope is presented. The model includes the driven equation, the current equation and the position equation. Therefore, it can sufficiently describe the gyro- scope system. The driven equation shows the thermally driven gyroscope can work for a long time but the pres- sure driven one cannot. From the current equation, the superfluid currents passing through the weak link contain the AC currents which show the rotation flux, and other currents caused by drive. As shown in the position equa- tion, the displacement of diaphragm is the only detectable parameter in the gyroscope system. The model is tested by the simulations based on experimental parameters, and can be used to research performance of the gyroscope and analyse the gyroscope error.

文摘A distributed optical fiber disturbance detection system consisted of a Sagnac interferometer and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer is demonstrated. Two interferometers outputs are connected to an electric band-pass filter via a detector respectively. The central frequencies of the two filters are selected adaptively according to the disturbance frequency. The disturbance frequency is obtained by either frequency spectrum of the two interferometers outputs. An alarm is given out only when the Sagnac interferometer output is changed. A disturbance position is determined by calculating a time difference with a cross-correlation method between the filter output connected to the Sagnac interferometer and derivative of the filter output connected to the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The frequency spectrum, derivative and cross-correlation are obtained by a signal processing system. Theory analysis and simulation results are presented. They show that the system structure and location method are effective, accurate, and immune to environmental variations.
