    Abstract: An apparatus and method for testing sensitivity consistency of an acoustic emission sensor are provided. The apparatus uses a cylindrical polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) rod as a test bench. A clamping seat, a clamping block, and a mounting cylinder are mounted on one end of the test bench in cooperation. Under an action of a pressure spring, an end face of a tested sensor keeps pressure-stable coupling contact with an end face of the test bench. A bracket is mounted on another end face of the test bench, and keeps, together with a fixing seat and the clamping seat, the test bench horizontally placed on a desktop. By adjusting a width and an amplitude of a pulse excitation signal of a signal generator, and according to sensitivity distribution and aggregation between tested sensors, a consistency calculation method is used to screen out tested sensors with first, second, and third sensitivity consistency.

    Abstract: The present invention is a pressure coupling chamber (1) developed for comparison calibrations of acoustic pressure-sensitive hydrophone (2) in the frequency range from Hz to 1 kHz. A hydrophone (2), reference receiver unit (3) and acoustic source (6) under test are acoustically coupled in the chamber through the air-filled medium inside the pressure coupling chamber (1). Acoustic sources (6) that are going to create acoustic pressure in the pressure coupling chamber (1), placed on the side walls of the chamber (1) to surround the pressure-sensitive active surface of hydrophone (2), are driven to create a hydrostatic pressure effect in the related frequency range in the chamber. Calibration of tested hydrophone (2) with comparison method is carried out by measuring the output voltages of tested hydrophone (2) and the reference receiver unit (3).

    Abstract: The present disclosure belongs to the field of photoacoustic signal detection, and specifically relates to a quantum-enhanced all-optical photoacoustic signal detection device and method. The problem of low sensitivity of photoacoustic signals based on interference measurement is solved, and high-sensitivity detection of photoacoustic signals generated by living organisms including human bodies can be achieved. A degenerate optical parametric oscillator based on a first-type phase matching crystals is used for preparing a vacuum squeezed state light field, a coherent control technology is used for locking the squeezed angle to obtain the quadrature phase vacuum squeezed state, the prepared quadrature phase vacuum squeezed state light field is injected into the vacuum channel of a Michelson interferometer, and a balanced homodyne detection mode is used for achieving detection of the quantum-enhanced photoacoustic signals.

    Abstract: A method in which an acoustic sensor disposed in a polishing apparatus can be accurately calibrated is disclosed. In this method, polishing sounds of a substrate are acquired using an acoustic sensor; and then at least two distinctive sounds, having distinctive frequencies respectively, are selected from the acquired polishing sounds. Further, the at least two distinctive sounds are output from a sound source coupled to any of a polishing table, the acoustic sensor, and a substrate holder to cause the at least two distinctive sounds to be input to the acoustic sensor. Next, output values of the acoustic sensor are calibrated, such that the output values of the acoustic sensor relative to the at least two distinctive sounds come within an allowable range.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a beam overlap verification system and method for phased array ultrasonic inspection. A scan plan for the ultrasonic inspection defines a suitable probe, wedge and calibration block having machined defects for the geometry to be inspected, and makes a beam definition which defines a set of ultrasonic beams emitted by the phased array. An intersection amplitude unit records the response amplitudes from each defect at predetermined intersection points of adjacent beam pairs as the probe and wedge are manually scanned across the calibration block. An overlap verification module determines the −6 dB overlap of all adjacent beam pairs which are relevant to the geometry to be inspected, and verifies that the beam overlap conforms to the required coverage according to the ASME or other relevant codes. In this way, coverage is experimentally verified during calibration prior to inspection of a known geometry, such as a weld.

    Abstract: A monitoring system comprising ultrasound sensors to monitor the structure of a composite material part during production is automatically calibrated using reference sensors mounted on reference blocks and placed in the production environment of the part. The automatic calibration comprises actuating a reference sensor to transmit an ultrasonic wave and measuring the amplitude of a reference echo constituted by the transmitted ultrasonic wave after it has passed through the reference block. The measured amplitude is compared to a set point value and the gain is applied to the reference sensor to obtain an amplitude value of the reference echo substantially equal to the set point value. The gain applied to the reference sensor is applied to the ultrasound sensors of the same type as the reference sensor. The operation is performed for each reference sensor, and successively for all of the stages of production of the part.
