Using finite element analysis, it was determined that by using frustum shaped test masses with a ratio between the opposing radii of about 0.7 the frequency of the principle real eigenmodes of the test mass can be shifted into higher frequency ranges. For a fused silica test mass this shape modification could increase this value from 5951 Hz to 7210 Hz, and in a silicon test mass it would increase the value from 8491 Hz to 10262 Hz, in both cases moving the principle real eigenmode to a frequency further from LIGO bands, reducing slightly the noise seen by the detector. -

Fundamental Sensitivity Limit Imposed by Dark 1/F Noise in the Low Optical Signal Detection Regime
Fundamental sensitivity limit imposed by dark 1/f noise in the low optical signal detection regime Emily J. McDowell1, Jian Ren2, and Changhuei Yang1,2 1Department of Bioengineering, 2Department of Electrical Engineering, Mail Code 136-93,California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, 91125 [email protected] Abstract: The impact of dark 1/f noise on fundamental signal sensitivity in direct low optical signal detection is an understudied issue. In this theoretical manuscript, we study the limitations of an idealized detector with a combination of white noise and 1/f noise, operating in detector dark noise limited mode. In contrast to white noise limited detection schemes, for which there is no fundamental minimum signal sensitivity limit, we find that the 1/f noise characteristics, including the noise exponent factor and the relative amplitudes of white and 1/f noise, set a fundamental limit on the minimum signal that such a detector can detect. © 2008 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (230.5160) Photodetectors; (040.3780) Low light level References and links 1.

Subjective criteria are the best tool for evaluating an image when the image obtained at the end of the processing is interpreted by man. The objective criteria are based on the difference, pixel by pixel, between the original and the reconstructed image and ensure a good approximation of the image quality perceived by a human observer. There is also the possibility that in evaluating the fidelity of a remade (reconstructed) image, the pixel-by-pixel differences will be weighted according to the sensitivity of the human visual system. The problem of improving medical images is particularly important Citation: Dumitrescu, C.; Raboaca, in assisted diagnosis, with the aim of providing physicians with information as useful as possible M.S.; Felseghi, R.A. -
Noise by the Nonlinear Stochastic Differential Equations
Modeling scaled processes and 1/f β noise by the nonlinear stochastic differential equations B Kaulakys and M Alaburda Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy of Vilnius University, Goˇstauto 12, LT-01108 Vilnius, Lithuania E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. We present and analyze stochastic nonlinear differential equations generating signals with the power-law distributions of the signal intensity, 1/f β noise, power-law autocorrelations and second order structural (height-height correlation) functions. Analytical expressions for such characteristics are derived and the comparison with numerical calculations is presented. The numerical calculations reveal links between the proposed model and models where signals consist of bursts characterized by the power-law distributions of burst size, burst duration and the inter- burst time, as in a case of avalanches in self-organized critical (SOC) models and the extreme event return times in long-term memory processes. The presented approach may be useful for modeling the long-range scaled processes exhibiting 1/f noise and power-law distributions.

Introduction The inverse power-law distributions, autocorrelations and spectra of the signals, including 1/f noise (also known as 1/f fluctuations, flicker noise and pink noise), as well as scaling behavior in general, are ubiquitous in physics and in many other fields, counting natural phenomena, spatial repartition of faults in geology, human activities such as traffic in computer networks and financial markets. -

Conventional denoising filters and models can easily suppress perturbative noises in high contrast images. However, for low photon budget multi- photon images, high detector gain will not only boost signals, but also bring huge background noises. In such stochastic resonance regime of imaging, sub-threshold signals may be detectable with the help of noises. Therefore, a denoising filter that can smartly remove noises without sacrificing the important cellular features such as cell boundaries is highly desired. In this paper, we propose a convolutional neural network based denoising autoencoder method, Fully Convolutional Deep Denoising Autoencoder (DDAE), to improve the quality of Three-Photon Fluorescence (3PF) and Third Harmonic Generation (THG) microscopy images. The average of the acquired 200 images of a given location served as the low-noise answer for DDAE training. -
Chapter 11 Noise and Noise Rejection
CHAPTER 11 NOISE AND NOISE REJECTION INTRODUCTION In general, noise is any unsteady component of a signal which causes the instantaneous value to differ from the true value. (Finite response time effects, leading to dynamic error, are part of an instrument's response characteristics and are not considered to be noise.) In electrical signals, noise often appears as a highly erratic component superimposed on the desired signal. If the noise signal amplitude is generally lower than the desired signal amplitude, then the signal may look like the signal shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Sinusoidal Signal with Noise. Noise is often random in nature and thus it is described in terms of its average behavior (see the last section of Chapter 8). In particular we describe a random signal in terms of its power spectral density, (x (f )) , which shows how the average signal power is distributed over a range of frequencies, or in terms of its average power, or mean square value. Since we assume the average signal power to be the power dissipated when the signal voltage is connected across a 1 Ω resistor, the numerical values of signal power and signal mean square value are equal, only the units differ. To determine the signal power we can use either the time history or the power spectral density (Parseval's Theorem). Let the signal be x(t), then the average signal power or mean square voltage is: T t 2 221 x(t) x(t)dtx (f)df (1) T T t 0 2 11-2 Note: the bar notation, , denotes a time average taken over many oscillations of the signal. -
Random Attractors for a Class of Stochastic Partial Differential
Random attractors for a class of stochastic partial differential equations driven by general additive noise ∗ Benjamin Gess a, Wei Liu ay, Michael R¨ockner a;b a: Fakult¨atf¨urMathematik, Universit¨atBielefeld, D-33501 Bielefeld, Germany b: Department of Mathematics and Statistics, Purdue University, West Lafayette, 47906 IN, USA Abstract The existence of random attractors for a large class of stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) driven by general additive noise is established. The main results are applied to various types of SPDE, as e.g. stochastic reaction-diffusion equations, the stochastic p-Laplace equation and stochastic porous media equations. Besides classical Brownian motion, we also include space-time fractional Brownian Motion and space-time L´evynoise as admissible random perturbations. Moreover, cases where the attractor consists of a single point are considered and bounds for the speed of attraction are obtained. AMS Subject Classification: 35B41, 60H15, 37L30, 35B40 Keywords: Random attractor; L´evynoise; fractional Brownian Motion; stochastic evolution equations; porous media equations; p-Laplace equation; reaction-diffusion equations. 1 Introduction Since the foundational work in [16, 17, 44] the long time behaviour of several examples of SPDE perturbed by additive noise has been extensively investigated by means of proving the existence of a global random attractor (cf. e.g. [8, 10, 11, 12, 19, 20, 31, 46, 47]). However, these results address only some specific examples of SPDE of semilinear type. To the best of our knowledge the only result concerning a non-semilinear SPDE, namely stochastic generalized porous media equations is given in [9].
