摘要: Recovering the wavelength from disordered speckle patterns has become an exciting prospect as a wavelength measurement method due to its high resolution and simple design. In previous studies, panel cameras have been used to detect the subtle differences between speckle patterns. However, the volume, bandwidth, sensitivity, and cost (in non-visible bands) associated with panel cameras have hindered their utility in broader applications, especially in high speed and low-cost measurements. In this work, we broke the limitations imposed by panel cameras by using a quadrant detector (QD) to capture the speckle images. In the scheme of QD detection, speckle images are directly filtered by convolution, where the kernel is equal to one quarter of a speckle pattern. First, we proposed an up-sampling algorithm to pre-process the QD data. Then a new convolution neural network (CNN) based algorithm, shallow residual network (SRN), was proposed to train the up-sampled images. The experimental results show that a resolution of 4 fm (~ 0.5 MHz) was achieved at 1550nm with an updating speed of ~ 1 kHz. More importantly, the SRN shows excellent robustness. The wavelength can be precisely reconstructed from raw QD data without any averaging, even where there exists apparent noise. The low-cost, simple structure, high speed and robustness of this design promote the speckle-based wavemeter to the industrial grade. In addition, without the restriction of panel cameras, it is believed that this wavemeter opens new routes in many other fields, such as distributed optical fiber sensors, optical communications, and laser frequency stabilization.

摘要: Speckle patterns have been widely confirmed that can be utilized to reconstruct the wavelength information. In order to achieve higher resolution, a varies of optical diffusing waveguides have been investigated with a focus on their wavelength sensitivity. However, it has been a challenge to reach the balance among cost, volumes, resolution, and stability. In this work, we designed a compact cylindrical random scattering waveguide (CRSW) as the light diffuser only by mixing TiO2 particles and ultra-violate adhesive. The speckle patterns are generated by the light multiple scattering in the CRSW. Importantly, the thin layer of upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) were sprayed on the end face of the CRSW. This allows the near infrared (NIR) light to be converted to the visible light, breaking the imaging limitation of visible cameras in the NIR range. We further designed a convolution neural network (CNN) to recognize the wavelength of the speckle patterns with good robustness and excellent ability of transfer learning, resulting in the achievement of a high resolution of 20 kHz ( 0.16 fm) at around 1550 nm with temperature resistance of 2 celsius. Our results provide a low-cost, compact, and simple NIR wavemeter in particular with the ultra high resolution and good temperature stability.

摘要: The ambiguity of the structure of 12Be especially in the configuration of 12Be ground state has attracted a lot of attention recently. We notice that the nuclear reaction cross section R at low energy region is sensitive to the surface structure of 12Be, which is greatly impacted by the ground state configuration of 12Be especially by the occupancy probability of the s orbital component. By using existed interaction cross section data of 12Be on C at 790 MeV/nucleon and Glauber model, the upper limit of the s orbital occupation probability of 12Be ground state is roughly determined to be about 56% with Single Particle Model calculations. This demonstrates that the method is very promising to determine the s orbital component of 12Be with proper nuclear-matter density distribution calculations for different orbitals of 12Be ground state. Hence we bring forward to determine the s orbital component of 12Be by measuring the R of 12Be on C and Al at several tens of MeV/nucleon. In this paper, the feasibility and detailed experimental scheme of the R measurement are carefully studied. The precision of the s orbital occupation probability of 12Be ground state is expected to achieve 9% by using the proposed 2% R data.

摘要: The High Altitude Detection of Astronomical Radiation (HADAR) experiment is a refracting terrestrial telescope array based on the atmospheric Cherenkov imaging technique. It focuses the Cherenkov light emitted by extensive air showers through a large aperture water-lens system for observing very-high-energy-rays and cosmic rays. With the advantages of a large field-of-view (FOV) and low energy threshold, the HADAR experiment operates in a large-scale sky scanning mode to observe galactic sources. This study presents the prospects of using the HADAR experiment for the sky survey of TeV {\gamma}-ray sources from TeVCat and provids a one-year survey of statistical significance. Results from the simulation show that a total of 23 galactic point sources, including five supernova remnant sources and superbubbles, four pulsar wind nebula sources, and 14 unidentified sources, were detected in the HADAR FOV with a significance greater than 5 standard deviations ({\sigma}). The statistical significance for the Crab Nebula during one year of operation reached 346.0 {\sigma} and the one-year integral sensitivity of HADAR above 1TeV was ~1.3%-2.4% of the flux from the Crab Nebula.
