We identify the optimal phase sensitivity of this scheme by maximizing the quantum Fisher information(QFI) with respect to the BS transmission ratio. Our scheme outperforms the conventional scheme with a balanced BS, particularly in the presence of single-mode photon loss. Notably, our scheme retains quantum advantage in phase sensitivity in the limit of high photon intensity, where the balanced scheme offers no advantage over the classical strategy.展开更多

In sharp contrast to previous works, the considered systems possess two important characteristics: (i) The uncertain nonlinear terms meet the linearly unmeasurable-states dependent growth with the growth rate being an unknown function of the input and output. (ii) There exist input matching uncertainty and unknown measurement sensitivity. By introducing a single dynamic gain and employing a cleverly devised event-triggering mechanism (ETM), we design a new gain-based event-triggered output-feedback controller, which globally regulates all states of the considered systems and maintains global boundedness of the closed-loop system. Furthermore, the estimation of input matching uncertainty achieves convergence towards its actual value, and Zeno behavior does not happen. Two simulation examples including a practical one show that the proposed approach is effective.展开更多

文摘Acoustic detection has many applications across science and technology from medicine to imaging and communications.However,most acoustic sensors have a common limitation in that the detection must be near the acoustic source.Alternatively,laser interferometry with picometer-scale motional displacement detection can rapidly and precisely measure sound-induced minute vibrations on remote surfaces.Here,we demonstrate the feasibility of sound detection up to 100 kHz at remote sites with≈60 m optical path length via laser homodyne interferometry.Based on our ultrastable hertz linewidth laser with 10-15 fractional stability,our laser interferometer achieves 0.5 pm/Hz1/2 displacement sensitivity near 10 kHz,bounded only by laser frequency noise over 10 kHz.Between 140 Hz and 15 kHz,we achieve a homodyne acoustic sensing sensitivity of subnanometer/Pascal across our conversational frequency overtones.The minimal sound pressure detectable over 60 m optical path length is≈2 mPa,with dynamic ranges over 100 dB.With the demonstrated standoff picometric distance metrology,we successfully detected and reconstructed musical scores of normal conversational volumes with high fidelity.The acoustic detection via this precision laser interferometer could be applied to selective area sound sensing for remote acoustic metrology,optomechanical vibrational motion sensing,and ultrasensitive optical microphones at the laser frequency noise limits.

文摘Laser frequency microcombs provide a series of equidistant,coherent frequency markers across a broad spectrum,enabling advancements in laser spectroscopy,dense optical communications,precision distance metrology,and astronomy.Here,we design and fabricate silicon nitride,dispersion-managed microresonators that effectively suppress avoided-mode crossings and achieve close-to-zero averaged dispersion.Both the stochastic noise and mode-locking dynamics of the resonator are numerically and experimentally investigated.First,we experimentally demonstrate thermally stabilized microcomb formation in the microresonator across different mode-locked states,showing negligible center frequency shifts and a broad frequency bandwidth.Next,we characterize the femtosecond timing jitter of the microcombs,supported by precise metrology of the timing phase and relative intensity noise.For the single-soliton state,we report a relative intensity noise of−153.2 dB∕Hz,close to the shot-noise limit,and a quantum-noise–limited timing jitter power spectral density of 0.4 as 2∕Hz at a 100 kHz offset frequency,measured using a self-heterodyne linear interferometer.In addition,we achieve an integrated timing jitter of 1.7 fs±0.07 fs,measured from 10 kHz to 1 MHz.Measuring and understanding these fundamental noise parameters in high clock rate frequency microcombs is critical for advancing soliton physics and enabling new applications in precision metrology.

文摘This study investigates the nonlinear resonance responses of suspended cables subjected to multi-frequency excitations and time-delayed feedback.Two specific combinations and simultaneous resonances are selected for detailed examination.Initially,utilizing Hamilton’s variational principle,a nonlinear vibration control model of suspended cables under multi-frequency excitations and longitudinal time-delayed velocity feedback is developed,and the Galerkin method is employed to obtain the discrete model.Subsequently,focusing solely on single-mode discretization,analytical solutions for the two simultaneous resonances are derived using the method of multiple scales.The frequency response equations are derived,and the stability analysis is presented for two simultaneous resonance cases.The results demonstrate that suspended cables exhibit complex nonlinearity under multi-frequency excitations.Multiple solutions under multi-frequency excitation can be distinguished through the frequency–response and the detuning-phase curves.By adjusting the control gain and time delay,the resonance range,response amplitude,and phase of suspended cables can be modified.

文摘Null compensation interferometry is the primary testing method for the manufacture of ultra-high-precision aspheric mirrors.The crosstalk fringes generated by stray light in interferometry can affect accuracy and potentially prevent the testing from proceeding normally.Position errors include the decenter error,tilt error,and distance error.During the testing process,position errors will impact the testing accuracy and the crosstalk fringes generated by stray light.To determine the specific impact of position errors,we use the concept of Hindle shell testing of a convex aspheric mirror,and propose the simulation method of crosstalk fringes in null compensation interferometry.We also propose evaluation indices of crosstalk fringes in interferometry and simulate the influence of position errors on the crosstalk fringes.This work aims to help improve the design of compensation interferometry schemes,enhance the feasibility of the design,reduce engineering risks,and improve efficiency.

文摘We propose a quantum-enhanced metrological scheme utilizing unbalanced entangled coherent states(ECSs) generated by passing a coherent state and a coherent state superposition through an unbalanced beam splitter(BS). We identify the optimal phase sensitivity of this scheme by maximizing the quantum Fisher information(QFI) with respect to the BS transmission ratio. Our scheme outperforms the conventional scheme with a balanced BS, particularly in the presence of single-mode photon loss. Notably, our scheme retains quantum advantage in phase sensitivity in the limit of high photon intensity, where the balanced scheme offers no advantage over the classical strategy.

文摘The Mach-Zehnder interferometer is a fundamental tool for measuring phase shifts between two light paths,serving as a crucial prototype for achieving high-precision measurements in various scientific and technological applications.In this study,we analyze different models for estimating the relative phase shift in a general two-arm Mach-Zehnder interferometer.We demonstrated that single-parameter estimation models can be reduced from the two-parameter estimation model by imposing appropriate constraints on the parameter space.To make quantum Fisher information of the single-parameter estimation models meaningful,the corresponding constraints must be guaranteed in the experiment implementation.Furthermore,we apply the quantum Fisher information approach to analyze the Mach-Zehnder interferometer with the an input state composed of a displaced squeezed vacuum state and a coherent state,providing insights into the precision limits of such configurations.

文摘In the industrial roller kiln,the time-delay characteristic in heat transfer causes the temperature field to be affected by both the current and historical temperature states.It presents a poor control performance and brings a significant challenge to the process precise control.Considering high complexity of precise modeling,a data-driven time-delay optimal control method for temperature field of roller kiln is proposed based on a large amount of process data.First,the control challenges and problem description brought by time-delay are demonstrated,where the cost function for the time-delay partial differential equation system is constructed.To obtain the optimal control law,the policy iteration in adaptive dynamic programming is adopted to design the time-delay temperature field controller,and neural network is used for the critic network in policy iteration to approximate the optimal time-delay cost function.The closed-loop system stability is proved by designing the Lyapunov function which contains the time-delay information.Finally,through establishing the time-delay temperature field model for roller kiln,the effectiveness and convergence of the proposed method is verified and proved.

文摘Laser interferometry with higher resolution,faster update rate,and larger dynamic range is highly anticipated in the exploration of physics frontiers,advanced manufacturing,and precision sensing.Real-time dispersive spectral interferometry(DSI)shows promise for high-speed precision measurements,whereas the resolution of subnanometers has not yet been achieved.We present a comprehensive theoretical framework to analyze the limitations of real-time DSI based on the signal-to-noise ratio and data volume.A real-time orthogonal polarization spectral interferometry technique is proposed,which utilizes a pair of interferograms with the pi-phase shift to effectively mitigate the phase noise embedded in real-time spectral envelopes,thereby enabling the precise measurements with subnanometer resolution at megahertz frame rates.The recorded time series data are processed through interpolation,segmentation,time–frequency mapping,and de-enveloping to regain the typical cosine-shaped spectral evolution,followed by a fitting-based phase retrieval method to extract the interference phase.The phase resolution of 1.1 mrad(0.91 as for time delay and 0.3 nm for distance)is obtained at the update rate of 22.2 MHz even under the detection bandwidth of 500 MHz,and can be further enhanced to 0.29 mrad(0.24 as for time delay)after 500 times averaging(∼0.5 MHz).Our approach is validated through periodic phase modulations and applied to measure the rapid damped oscillations of a piezo stage,yielding results consistent with those obtained from a commercial picometer interferometer.

文摘To ensure the safety of power energy transmission channel and mitigate the harm caused by galloping of iced transmission lines,the axial time-delay velocity feedback strategy is adopted to suppress the galloping.The par-tial differential equation of galloping with axial time-delay velocity feedback strategy is established based on the variational principle for Hamiltonian.Then,the partial differential equation of galloping is transformed into or-dinary differential equation based on normalization and the Galerkin method.The primary amplitude-frequency response equation,the first-order steady-state approximate solution,and the harmonic amplitude-frequency re-sponse equation are derived by the multiscale method.The impact of different parameters such as time-delay value,control coefficient,and amplitude of external excitation on the galloping response are analyzed.The am-plitude under the primary resonance exhibits periodicity as time-delay value varies.The amplitude diminishes with increased control coefficient and increases with external excitation.Comprehensive consideration of vari-ous influences of parameters on vibration characteristics is crucial when employing the axial time-delay velocity feedback strategy to suppress galloping.Therefore,to achieve the best vibration suppression effect,it is crucial to adjust the time-delay parameter for modifying the range and amplitude of the resonance zone.The conclusions obtained by this study are expected to advance the refinement of active control techniques for iced transmission lines,and may provide valuable insights for practical engineering applications.

文摘Microsphere assisted microscopy(MAM)has been rapidly developed to meet the measurement needs of microstructures.MAM can be integrated with optical interference microscopy(OIM)to achieve high lateral resolution surface profile measurement.However,the microspheres introduce intricate phase changes,resulting in optical path asymmetry which is very challenging to compensate for.This limitation constrains the application of MAM in OIM.In this paper,simulation analysis reveals that the phase transmission of the microsphere is influenced by parameters such as microsphere diameter and its relative position to the sample.It is concluded that a unique compensation process must be adopted for each individual microsphere.Addressing this issue,we proposed a phase compensation algorithm based on the three-dimensional position control of the microsphere and integrated it into our combined system of MAM and white light interferometry(WLI),reducing the phase errors introduced by the microspheres while enhancing the lateral resolution of optical system.This approach improved the profile measurement accuracy,offering a perspective for optically measuring the surface profile of intricate microstructures.

文摘This paper discusses the design of event-triggered output-feedback controller for a class of nonlinear time-delay systems with multiple uncertainties. In sharp contrast to previous works, the considered systems possess two important characteristics: (i) The uncertain nonlinear terms meet the linearly unmeasurable-states dependent growth with the growth rate being an unknown function of the input and output. (ii) There exist input matching uncertainty and unknown measurement sensitivity. By introducing a single dynamic gain and employing a cleverly devised event-triggering mechanism (ETM), we design a new gain-based event-triggered output-feedback controller, which globally regulates all states of the considered systems and maintains global boundedness of the closed-loop system. Furthermore, the estimation of input matching uncertainty achieves convergence towards its actual value, and Zeno behavior does not happen. Two simulation examples including a practical one show that the proposed approach is effective.

文摘The semiconductor bridge(SCB)ignites through bridge film discharge,offering advantages such as low ignition energy,high safety,and compatibility with digital logic circuits.The study uses laser interferometry to investigate the gas dynamics of the bridge film after SCB plasma extinction.Interferometric images of the SCB film gas were obtained through a laser interferometry optical path.After the degradation model of digital image processing,clearer images were produced to facilitate analysis and calculation.The results show that the gas temperature at the center of the SCB film reaches a maximum of 1000 K,and the temperature rapidly decreases along the axial direction of the bridge surface to room temperature at 300 K.The maximum diffusion velocity of the plasma is 1.8 km/s.These findings provide critical insights for SCB design and ignition control.
