Article Abstract

The detection and tracking of ships can be realized by using the laser forward and backward scattering characteristics of ship wake bubbles. In this paper, the detection ability of two kinds of scattering to wake bubbles is studied. Based on the distribution characteristics of ship wake and bubble targets, typical bubble targets are selected to study from both micro and macro aspects. The light scattering model of water is established from the microscopic aspect, and the forward and backward scattering light intensity equations of water are derived. The circumferential scattering characteristics of a single bubble are analyzed based on the Mie scattering theory. According to the transmission characteristics of light in wake bubbles, the secondary scattering model of wake bubbles is established, and the forward and backward scattering light intensity equations are derived. In the macroscopic aspect, the laser scattering simulation model of wake bubbles is established by Monte Carlo, and the forward and backward scattering characteristics of wake bubble clusters with different radii, densities, and thicknesses are analyzed emphatically. A laser forward scattering and backscattering detection system under typical bubble characteristics was built, and the composite scattering characteristics of wake bubbles with different parameter characteristics were experimentally analyzed. The theoretical and experimental results show that with the increase of bubble radius, density, and thickness, the amplitude of laser forward scattering signal of bubble groups decreases gradually, the amplitude of backward scattering signal increases gradually, the change rate of forward and backward scattering amplitude increases, and the change rate of backscattering is obviously larger than that of forward scattering. The detection of wake bubbles by backscattering has more characteristic changes than that by forward scattering, and the detection success rate is higher. The research results can provide theoretical and experimental support for the design of a ship wake laser detection system.

Significance: Second-harmonic generation (SHG) analysis of collagen internal structure and overall organization in the tumor microenvironment may enhance current metastasis prediction methods, which do not prognosticate with the same accuracy for patients of different races. For these optical tools to be clinically available, a multicenter trial is needed. We investigate if SHG-based prognostic signals vary with patient race, providing insight for designing such a trial.

Double-pass Thomson scattering (TS) is a technique used to measure electron temperature anisotropy, and a double-pass TS diagnostic system with good safety (avoidance of damage to the YAG laser device by the backward beam) and performance (collection optics with sufficient efficiency) was fabricated in TST-2. Obvious electron temperature anisotropies were found in the TST-2 ohmic plasmas. Moreover, a simple theoretical model was proposed to estimate the electron temperature anisotropy from the inductive electric field, the electron temperature and density, and the effective ionic charge.

A combined lateral scanning Raman scattering lidar (LSRSL) and backward Raman scattering lidar (BWRSL) is built in Xi'an, which can achieve accurate measurements of atmospheric temperature and water vapor from the ground to the concerned height. In this paper, we report a method to correct the atmospheric transmittance in the return path, which is due to the wavelength difference between the high- and low-quantum-number transitions of PRRSS for temperature measurements and between the VRSS of N and HO for water vapor measurements. The correction function of atmospheric transmittance is optimized by considering the effect of aerosols from nearby industry and local urban traffic on atmospheric transmittance.
