Method and apparatus of spectro-acoustically enhanced ultrasonic detection for diagnostics

Patent Vo-Dinh, Tuan [Knoxville, TN]; Norton, Stephen J [Raleigh, NC]

An apparatus for detecting a discontinuity in a material includes a source of electromagnetic radiation has a wavelength and an intensity sufficient to induce an enhancement in contrast between a manifestation of an acoustic property in the material and of the acoustic property in the discontinuity, as compared to when the material is not irradiated by the electromagnetic radiation. An acoustic emitter directs acoustic waves to the discontinuity in the material. The acoustic waves have a sensitivity to the acoustic property. An acoustic receiver receives the acoustic waves generated by the acoustic emitter after the acoustic waves have interacted withmore » « less

Active microphonic noise cancellation in radiation detectors

Patent Zimmermann, Sergio

A new adaptive filtering technique to reduce microphonic noise in radiation detectors is presented. The technique is based on system identification that actively cancels the microphonic noise. A sensor is used to measures mechanical disturbances that cause vibration on the detector assembly, and the digital adaptive filtering estimates the impact of these disturbances on the microphonic noise. The noise then can be subtracted from the actual detector measurement. In this paper the technique is presented and simulations are used to support this approach.

Fiber laser microphones with graphene diaphragms

Patent Liao, Shaolin; Chien, Huan-Sheng

An acoustic sensor comprises a sensing head comprising an optical fiber having a tip. A graphene diaphragm is disposed on the tip and is configured to vibrate in response to an acoustic signal. A fiber laser is optically coupled to the sensing head. The fiber laser comprises a first set of fiber Bragg gratings and a second set of fiber Bragg gratings. A gap is present between the first set and the second set of fiber Bragg gratings. The fiber laser is configured to generate a sensing optical signal having a first intensity in response to an excitation optical signal,more » « less

Laser microphone

Patent Veligdan, James T [Manorville, NY]

A microphone for detecting sound pressure waves includes a laser resonator having a laser gain material aligned coaxially between a pair of first and second mirrors for producing a laser beam. A reference cell is disposed between the laser material and one of the mirrors for transmitting a reference portion of the laser beam between the mirrors. A sensing cell is disposed between the laser material and one of the mirrors, and is laterally displaced from the reference cell for transmitting a signal portion of the laser beam, with the sensing cell being open for receiving the sound waves.
