    摘要: We show that, in the pure-quartic systems, modulation instability (MI) undergoes heteroclinic-structure transitions (HSTs) at two critical frequencies of {\omega} c1 and {\omega} c2 ( {\omega} c2 > {\omega} c1 ), which indicates that there are significantchanges of the spatiotemporal behavior in the system. The complicated heteroclinic structure of instability obtained by the mode truncation method reveals all possible dynamic trajectories of nonlinear waves, which allows us to discover the various types of Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) recurrences and Akhmediev breathers (ABs). When the modulational frequency satisfies {\omega} < {\omega} c2 , the heteroclinic structure encompasses two separatrixes corresponding to the ABs and the nonlinear wave with a modulated final state, which individually separate FPU recurrences into three different regions. Remarkably, crossing critical frequency {\omega} c1 , both the staggered FPU recurrences and ABs essentially switch their patterns. These HST behaviors will give vitality to the study of MI.

    摘要: Single-pixel imaging (SPI) has attracted widespread attention because it generally uses a non-pixelated photodetector and a digital micromirror device (DMD) to acquire the object image. Since the modulated patterns seen from two reflection directions of the DMD are naturally complementary, one can apply complementary balanced measurements to greatly improve the measurement signal-to-noise ratio and reconstruction quality. However, the balance between two reflection arms significantly determines the quality of differential measurements. In this work, we propose and demonstrate a simple secondary complementary balancing mechanism to minimize the impact of the imbalance on the imaging system. In our SPI setup, we used a silicon free-space balanced amplified photodetector with 5 mm active diameter which could directly output the difference between two optical input signals in two reflection arms. Both simulation and experimental results have demonstrated that the use of secondary complementary balancing can result in a better cancellation of direct current components of measurements and a better image restoration quality.

  • Single-pixel imaging based on weight sort of the Hadamard basis

    摘要: Single-pixel imaging (SPI) is very popular in subsampling applications, but the random measurement matrices it typically uses will lead to measurement blindness as well as difficulties in calculation and storage, and will also limit the further reduction in sampling rate. The deterministic Hadamard basis has become an alternative choice due to its orthogonality and structural characteristics. There is evidence that sorting the Hadamard basis is beneficial to further reduce the sampling rate, thus many orderings have emerged, but their relations remain unclear and lack a unified theory. Given this, here we specially propose a concept named selection history, which can record the Hadamard spatial folding process, and build a model based on it to reveal the formation mechanisms of different orderings and to deduce the mutual conversion relationship among them. Then, a weight ordering of the Hadamard basis is proposed. Both numerical simulation and experimental results have demonstrated that with this weight sort technique, the sampling rate, reconstruction time and matrix memory consumption are greatly reduced in comparison to traditional sorting methods. Therefore, we believe that this method may pave the way for real-time single-pixel imaging.

  • Ground-layer Adaptive Optics for the 2.5 m Wide-field and High-resolution Solar Telescope

    摘要: The 2.5 m wide-field and high-resolution solar telescope (WeHoST) is currently under developing for solar observations. WeHoST aims to achieve high-resolution observations over a super-wide field of view (FOV) of 5' × 5', and a desired resolution of 0.3''. To meet the scientific requirements of WeHoST, the ground-layer adaptive optics (GLAO) with a specially designed wave front sensing system is as the primary consideration. We introduce the GLAO configuration, particularly the wave front sensing scheme. Utilizing analytic method, we simulate the performance of both classical AO and GLAO systems, optimize the wave front sensing system, and evaluate GLAO performance in terms of PSF uniformity and correction improvement across whole FOV. The results indicate that, the classical AO will achieve diffraction-limited resolution; the suggested GLAO configuration will uniformly improve the seeing across the full 5' × 5' FOV, reducing the FWHM across the axis FOV to less than 0.3'' (λ ≥ 705 nm, r0 ≥ 11 cm), which is more than two times improvement. The specially designed wave front sensor schedule offers new potential for WeHoST's GLAO, particularly the multi-FOV GLAO and the flexibility to select the detected area. These capabilities will significantly enhance the scientific output of the telescope.

  • The NTSC VLBI System and its application in UT1 measurement

    摘要: In order to measure the Universal Time (UT1) in real time, National Time Service Center (NTSC) has built a VGOS-like (VLBI Global Observing System) broadband VLBI network, which includes three 13-m radio telescopes located in Jilin, Sanya and Kashi, and a data analysis center in Xi'an. Each station is equipped with a highly stable hydrogen atomic clock and a self-developed VLBI backend, and is co-located with two GPS receivers. This VGOS-like VLBI network may play an important role in improving the Chinese broadband VLBI technology and making valuable contributions to domestic VLBI measurements of UT1. In this paper, we introduce the specifications of this VLBI network, and present the UT1 measurements at C-band conducted in 2018 using the Jilin-Kashi baseline of this network. The comparisons between our UT1 estimates and those provided by IERS suggest that the NTSC VLBI network is capable to determine UT1 accurate at the level of 58.8 microseconds.
