Phase mismatching analysis of third harmonic generation in BBO crystal

对BBO晶体三次谐波转换过程中相位失配情况进行了研究。当BBO 晶体按Ⅰ类相位匹配(oo→e)进行三次谐波转换时，如果保持基频光正入射，当倍频光从两个相互独立的平面方向(晶体主截面及主截面的垂面)偏离预期方向时，相位失配将出现变化，并且在两个面内的偏离量对转换效率的影响程度不同。我们分别数值模拟了两个方向上的相位失配情况，并给出了谐波转换效率同入射角度偏差的关系。数值模拟结果表明，在主截面内的相位匹配容限角为0.2°，在主截面垂面内的相位匹配容限角为4.5°。同时，开展了实验研究，实验结果与数值模拟结果高度吻合，表明在主截面内的角度偏差对转换效率的影响更大。

Space-frequency coupling, conical waves, and small-scale filamentation in water

Numerical simulations of fs laser propagation in water have been made to explain the small-scale filaments in water we have observed by a nonlinear fluorescence technique. Some analytical descriptions combined with numerical simulations show that a space-frequency coupling mainly from the interplay among self-phase modulation, dispersion and phase mismatching will reshape the laser beam into a conical wave which plays a major role of energy redistribution and can prevent laser beam from self-guiding over a long distance. An effective group velocity dispersion is introduced to explain the pulse broadening and compression in the filamentation. (c) 2005 American Institute of Physics.

超短光脉冲感应级联五阶非线性相移分析

由于群速度失配的影响,飞秒光脉冲在感应到FONPS（级联五阶非线性相移）的同时,将不可避免地发生脉冲畸变.通过理论分析及数值模拟,提出了使级联五阶非线性过程运行在较大相位失配条件下的解决方案,成功地消除了脉冲畸变.并且借助于该过程中倍频效率的提高,有效地补偿由于相位失配量的增大所造成的FONPS的下降,实现飞秒基频光脉冲在感应到大的FONPS的同时无脉冲畸变发生.

Condensed phase combustion travelling waves with sequential exothermic or endothermic reactions

The one-dimensional propagation of a combustion wave through a premixed solid fuel for two-stage kinetics is studied. We re-examine the analysis of a single reaction travelling-wave and extend it to the case of two-stage reactions. We derive an expression for the travelling wave speed in the limit of large activation energy for both reactions. The analysis shows that when both reactions are exothermic, the wave structure is similar to the single reaction case. However, when the second reaction is endothermic, the wave structure can be significantly different from single reaction case. In particular, as might be expected, a travelling wave does not necessarily exist in this case. We establish conditions in the limiting large activation energy limit for the non-existence, and for monotonicity of the temperature profile in the travelling wave.

Speaker identification using higher order spectral phase features and their effectiveness vis-a-vis Mel-Cepstral features

The effectiveness of higher-order spectral (HOS) phase features in speaker recognition is investigated by comparison with Mel Cepstral features on the same speech data. HOS phase features retain phase information from the Fourier spectrum unlikeMel–frequency Cepstral coefficients (MFCC). Gaussian mixture models are constructed from Mel– Cepstral features and HOS features, respectively, for the same data from various speakers in the Switchboard telephone Speech Corpus. Feature clusters, model parameters and classification performance are analyzed. HOS phase features on their own provide a correct identification rate of about 97% on the chosen subset of the corpus. This is the same level of accuracy as provided by MFCCs. Cluster plots and model parameters are compared to show that HOS phase features can provide complementary information to better discriminate between speakers.
