    摘要: Multiplexed fiber optic sensors are able to monitor a multitude of sensor positions along an optical fiber from a single interrogation point. A long-standing goal is to increase the length of fiber and the number of multiplexed sensors without significantly compromising performance or increasing the size, weight, power and cost of the fiber and interrogation system. A technique is provided for performing extremely long-range, multiplexed fiber optic strain sensing in an efficient manner. This technique utilizes a serial optical frequency comb based interrogation system to probe an array of sensors placed along a single optical fiber.

    摘要: A method of training a machine learning model to predict seafloor ripple geometry that includes receiving one or more input values, each input value based on an observation associated with ocean wave and seafloor conditions, and preprocessing the one or more input values. The method includes generating a training data set based on the preprocessed data set, splitting the training data set into a plurality of folds, and training via stacked generalization the machine learning model by performing a cross validation of each fold of training data based on at least one deterministic equilibrium ripple predictor model and on at least one machine learning algorithm. The method may include generating via the trained machine learning model, a set of one or more seafloor ripple geometry predictions, and performing Bayesian regression on the set of one or more seafloor ripple predictions to generate a probabilistic distribution of predicted seafloor ripple geometry.

    摘要: Optical frequency combs are used for a wide range of applications, some of which require precise control of the amplitude and phase of individual comb teeth. A technique is provided for tooth-level optical frequency comb control. A frequency comb may include a plurality of comb teeth that are separated from one another by a comb frequency spacing. This technique includes generating a train of control pulses, each of the control pulses being frequency-locked to a corresponding tooth of an optical frequency comb to be controlled. The tooth-level control of the frequency comb is enabled via stimulated Brillouin scattering using the train of control pulses.

    摘要: An atomizer includes an endcap having a nozzle; an annular sidewall extending outward from a surface of the endcap and situated radially outward from the nozzle; and a plurality of vanes extending radially inward from the sidewall and axially outward from the endcap, the vanes being set at a non-zero angle of incidence to the sidewall. The annular sidewall and endcap define an fluid chamber between an inlet and the nozzle, and flow from the inlet to the nozzle is at least partially directed through passageways between the vanes, and the flow is imparted with swirling motion from the vanes.
