Acoustic-intensity striation patterns were measured in the time-frequency domain using an L-shaped array and two simultaneously towed broadband (350-650 Hz) sources at depths above and below the thermocline under summer profile conditions. Distributions of the waveguide invariant parameter β, extracted from the acoustic striation patterns, peak at different values when receivers are above or below the thermocline for a source that is below the thermocline. However, the distributions show similar characteristics when the source is above the thermocline. Experimental results are verified by a numerical analysis of phase slowness, group slowness, and relative amplitudes of acoustic modes.

The very low-frequency noise from merchant ships provides a good broadband sound source to study the deep layers of the seabed. The nested striations that characterize ship time-frequency spectrograms contain unique acoustic features corresponding to where the waveguide invariant β becomes infinite. In this dataset, these features occur at frequencies between 20 and 80 Hz, where pairs of modal group velocities become equal.

Understanding the characteristics of underwater sound channels is essential for various remote sensing applications. Typically, the time-domain Green's function or channel impulse response (CIR) is obtained using computationally intensive acoustic propagation models that rely on accurate environmental data, such as sound speed profiles and bathymetry. Ray-based blind deconvolution (RBD) offers a less computationally demanding alternative using plane-wave beamforming to estimate the Green's function.

We propose a method for guiding charged particles such as electrons and protons, in vacuum, by employing the exotic properties of Lagrange points. This leap is made possible by the dynamics unfolding around these equilibrium points, which stably capture such particles, akin to the way Trojan asteroids are held in Jupiter's orbit. Unlike traditional methodologies that allow for either focusing or three-dimensional storage of charged particles, the proposed scheme can guide both non-relativistic and relativistic electrons and protons in small cross-sectional areas in an invariant fashion over long distances without any appreciable loss in energy - in a manner analogous to photon transport in optical fibers.

The analysis of the field excited in a waveguide by a point noise source is performed using the phase space representation of this field given by the distribution of its amplitude in the depth-angle-time space. The transition from the traditional description of the field amplitude as a function of depth and time to phase space representation is performed using the coherent state expansion developed in quantum mechanics. In this paper, the correlation function of noise signals arriving at different points of the phase plane depth-angle is investigated.

Controlling single-electron states becomes increasingly important due to the wide-ranging advances in electron quantum optics. Single-electron control enables coherent manipulation of individual electrons and the ability to exploit the wave nature of electrons, which offers various opportunities for quantum information processing, sensing, and metrology. Here we explore non-uniform magnetic fields, which offer unique mechanisms for single-electron control.
