A Coherent Noise Control Using Templates

Reduction of phase-induced intensity noise in a fiber-based coherent Doppler lidar using polarization control.

Optimization of signal-to-noise ratio is an important aspect in the design of optical heterodyne detection systems such as a coherent Doppler lidar (CDL). In a CDL, optimal performance is achieved when the noise in the detector signal is dominated by local oscillator shot-noise. Most modern CDL systems are built using rugged and cost-efficient fiber optic components. Unfortunately, leakage sign...

Doppler Estimation Using a Coherent Ultrawide-Band Random Noise Radar

The University of Nebraska has developed an ultrawide-band (UWB) coherent random noise radar operating over the 1–2 GHz frequency range. The system achieves phase coherence by using heterodyne correlation of the received signal with a time-delayed frequency-shifted replica of the transmit waveform. Knowledge of the phase of the received signal and its time dependence due to target motion permit...

Active Noise Control in Pardis Coach using Different Fuzzy Controllers

In recent years, need to increase the convenience of trips in railway vehicles causes that train operators and manufacturers focus on reducing the noise level which is sensed by passengers. In this paper, first the state of modeling acoustic noise in cab train is discussed and natural frequencies and acoustic mode shapes are derived and then formulation of acoustic pressure in the cab will be o...

Optimal switching using coherent control

Coherent adiabatic spin control in the presence of charge noise using tailored pulses.

We study finite-time Landau-Zener transitions at a singlet-triplet level crossing in a GaAs double quantum dot, both experimentally and theoretically. Sweeps across the anticrossing in the high driving speed limit result in oscillations with a small visibility. Here we demonstrate how to increase the oscillation visibility while keeping sweep times shorter than T(2)(*) using a tailored pulse wi...
