The line-center pump frequency is the pump frequency that shifts to a Stokes frequency on gain line-center. The two frequencies(pump and Stokes) do not tune at the same frequency because the Stokes frequency is determined by the cavity mode closest to gain line-center. 2, record 1, English, - Stokes%20frequency

In order to model climate data time series that often contain periodic variations, trends, and sudden changes in mean(mean shifts, mostly artificial), this study proposes a hybrid‐domain(HD) algorithm, which incorporates a time domain test and a newly developed frequency domain test through an iterative procedure that is analogue to the well known backfitting algorithm. 1, record 2, English, - backfitting%20algorithm

The principal advantage of pulsed Doppler is range resolution, or the ability to sample blood flow in a small, specific area whose location and depth can be varied. A disadvantage of pulsed Doppler, however, is that there are limits to the maximum frequency shifts that can be unambiguously displayed at any given depth. To avoid range ambiguity, the ultrasound pulse must travel down to the selected depth and back before the next pulse can enter the heart. Therefore, the PRF [pulse repetition frequency] or sampling rate is limited at each depth. 4, record 3, English, - pulsed%20Doppler%20ultrasonography

Une même céramique est alternativement émettrice et réceptrice. L’émission des ultrasons est discontinue et chaque brève impulsion est suivie d’une période d’écoute pendant laquelle la sonde recueille les échos qui lui parviennent. Une fenêtre de mesure réglable en profondeur permet de sélectionner de façon précise le volume de la cible à étudier, ce qui évite la superposition des informations. Le mode doppler pulsé est couplé à l'échographie en mode B sur laquelle se fait le repérage de la zone de mesure. Le résultat est représenté sur l'écran sous la forme du tracé du spectre doppler. Le signal doppler appliqué à un haut parleur est également perçu sous forme audible. 7, record 3, French, - %C3%A9cho%2DDoppler%20puls%C3%A9

Laser force microscope senses topography by moving a tungsten or silicon probe across a sample(typically a microelectronic component) at a height of a few nanometers. The tip is set vibrating at close to its resonance frequency. Attractive forces... called van der Waals attractions and the surface tension of water that condenses between tip and sample, pull on the tip, changing its resonance frequency and so reducing its vibration amplitude. The variation in the forces, and hence in tip travel, reveals surface relief. A laser probe tracks the tip by means of a beam that is split into two. One of the beams is reflected through a stationary prism; the other passes through a Bragg cell--a device that shifts the beam's frequency--and is reflected from the back of the probe. The beams are recombined, and their interference produces a signal(at the Bragg-cell frequency) that measures the tip vibration. 1, record 4, English, - laser%20force%20microscope
