Time-Reversed Refocusing of Surface Water Waves
A time-reversal mirror is, roughly speaking, a device which is capable of receiving a signal in time, keeping it in memory and sending it back into the medium in the reversed direction of time. A brief mathematical review of the time-reversal theory is presented in the context of the linear shallow water equations. In particular an explicit expression is given for the refocused pulse in the sim...
متن کاملStability of time reversed waves in changing media
We analyze the refocusing properties of time reversed waves that propagate in two different media during the forward and backward stages of a time-reversal experiment. We consider two regimes of wave propagation modeled by the paraxial wave equation with a smooth random refraction coefficient and the Itô-Schrödinger equation, respectively. In both regimes, we rigorously characterize the refocus...
متن کاملLoschmidt-echo decay from local boundary perturbations.
We investigate the sensitivity of the time evolution of semiclassical wave packets in two-dimensional chaotic billiards with respect to local perturbations of their boundaries. For this purpose, we address, analytically and numerically, the time decay of the Loschmidt echo (LE). We find the LE to decay exponentially in time, with the rate equal to the classical escape rate from an open billiard...
متن کاملShort-time Loschmidt gap in dynamical systems with critical chaos.
We study the Loschmidt echo F(t) for a class of dynamical systems showing critical chaos. Using a kicked rotor with singular potential as a prototype model, we found that the classical echo shows a gap (initial drop) 1-F_{g} , where F_{g} scales as F_{g}(alpha,,eta)=f_{cl}(chi_{cl} identical witheta;{3-alpha}/) ; alpha is the order of singularity of the potential, eta is the spread of the initi...
متن کاملDegraded Time-Frequency Acuity to Time-Reversed Notes
Time-reversal symmetry breaking is a key feature of many classes of natural sounds, originating in the physics of sound production. While attention has been paid to the response of the auditory system to "natural stimuli," very few psychophysical tests have been performed. We conduct psychophysical measurements of time-frequency acuity for stylized representations of "natural"-like notes (sharp...
