We have recently introduced a new technique, coherent hemodynamics spectroscopy (CHS), which aims at characterizing a specific kind of tissue hemodynamics that feature a high level of covariation with a given physiological quantity. In this study, we carry out a detailed analysis of the significance of coherence and phase synchronization between oscillations of arterial blood pressure (ABP) and total hemoglobin concentration ([Hbt]), measured with near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) during a typical protocol for CHS, based on a cyclic thigh cuff occlusion and release. Even though CHS is based on a linear time invariant model between ABP (input) and NIRS measurands (outputs), for practical reasons in a typical CHS protocol, we induce finite “groups” of ABP oscillations, in which each group is characterized by a different frequency. For this reason, ABP (input) and NIRS measurands (output) are not stationary processes, and we have used wavelet coherence and phase synchronization index (PSI), as a metric of coherence and phase synchronization, respectively. PSI was calculated by using both the wavelet cross spectrum and the Hilbert transform. We have also used linear coherence (which requires stationary process) for comparison with wavelet coherence. Themethod of surrogate data is used to find critical values for the significance of covariation between ABP and [Hbt]. Because we have found similar critical values for wavelet coherence and PSI by using five of the most used methods of surrogate data, we propose to use the data-independent Gaussian random numbers (GRNs), for CHS. By using wavelet coherence and wavelet cross spectrum, and GRNs as surrogate data, we have found the same results for the significance of coherence and phase synchronization between ABP and [Hbt]: on a total set of 20 periods of cuff oscillations, we have found 17 coherent oscillations and 17 phase synchronous oscillations. Phase synchronization assessed with Hilbert transform yielded similar results with 14 phase synchronous oscillations. Linear coherence and wavelet coherence overall yielded similar number of significant values. We discuss possible reasons for this result. Despite the similarity of linear and wavelet coherence, we argue that wavelet coherence is preferable, especially if one wants to use baseline spontaneous oscillations, in which phase locking and coherence between signals might be only temporary.

当前压缩感知中测量矩阵的优化是测量阶段和重构阶段采用同一矩阵的事前优化。采用了以行变换为主的测量矩阵优化算法和过渡矩阵将压缩感知的测量矩阵和重构矩阵相分离，在测量阶段采用单像素相机的0-1稀疏矩阵，在重构阶段采用近似矩阵，这是区别于传统思路的测量数据和测量矩阵的事后优化方法。理论分析和实验结果表明，优化矩阵的性能好于稀疏循环矩阵，近似矩阵和优化矩阵具有相近的性能。研究成果降低了测量矩阵工程设计和实现的难度。
本文运用类高斯型分布的光束处理方法,即把低阶混合模的光束视为扩大K倍的基模高斯光束。首先从混合模与基模光强及光斑半径的计算说明这种假设的合理性。由此出发给出了混合模光束特性的计算公式,又用类高斯光束去分析一个典型的连续波Nd:YAG激光器,找到了最佳腔长的范围,接着又叙述了K的实验测定方法.最后,分析讨论了激光器输出光束与光纤的耦合,求出了实际应用的必要参量。
针对放大自发辐射噪声引起的信号劣化情形, 分析了时钟抽运四波混频光纤再生器的静态和动态功率转移函数(PTF)以及Q因子转移函数(QTF)三者之间的差异, 揭示了消光比参数对动态PTF曲线的影响。重点研究了全光再生器的动态PTF和QTF特性, 发现仿真结果与实验数据相吻合。研究表明, 在给定波长配置和光纤参数下, PTF输出饱和点和QTF最佳工作点所对应的输入光功率相差1 dB, 且与抽运光功率基本无关。该结论意味着通过测量动态PTF曲线可以获得最佳工作点的信息。
为了便于气体放电等离子体的起燃，驱动恒流源需要较高的开路电压，同时因气体放电具有负阻效应，起燃后维持放电所需的电压远小于起燃电压，起燃后富余的电压会造成恒流源具有较大功耗。鉴于此，提出一种降低气体辉光放电驱动用恒流源功耗电路方案，给出电路原理图并详细分析其工作原理。本方案使用开路电压略高于气体放电维持电压的恒流源来降低功耗，使用高压脉冲压电陶瓷来保证气体放电可靠起燃，恒流源与高压脉冲电路由高压硅堆隔离后并联工作。实验结果表明，当电路工作正常时，可降低约为50%的功耗。在直流辉光放电实验平台上对镀锌板进行样
