Theory of spin noise in low dimensional systems and bulk semiconductors is reviewed. Spin noise is usually detected by optical means, continuously measuring the rotation angle of the polarization plane of the probe beam passing through the…

Thomson scattering measurements in High Energy Density experiments are often recorded using optical streak cameras. In the low-signal regime, noise introduced by the streak camera can become an important and sometimes the dominate source of…

In order to reach the sensitivity required to detect gravitational waves, pulsar timing array experiments need to mitigate as much noise as possible in timing data. A dominant amount of noise is likely due to variations in the dispersion…

The work analyzes existing methods for increasing the accuracy of determining weekend navigation parameters of unmanned underwater vehicles. It is proposed to retrofit the navigation system with an additional hydrodynamic tilt unit, which…

Astronomic line mapping with single-pixel instruments is usually performed in an on-the-fly (OTF) or a raster-mapping mode depending on the capabilities of the telescope and the instrument. The observing efficiency can be increased by…

The Allan variance was introduced fifty years ago for analyzing the stability of frequency standards. Beside its metrological interest, it is also an estimator of the large trends of the power spectral density (PSD) of frequency deviation.…

Measurement devices always add noise to the signal of interest and it is necessary to evaluate the variance of the results. This article focuses on stationary random processes whose Power Spectrum Density is a power law of frequency. For…

The problem of adaptive Kalman filtering for a discrete observable linear time-varying system with unknown noise covariance matrices is addressed in this paper. The measurement difference autocovariance method is used to formulate a linear…

The unified model of active galactic nuclei (AGN) includes a toroidal obscuring structure to explain the differences between Type I and Type II AGN as an effect of inclination angle. This toroidal structure is thought to be 'clumpy' as the…

In this paper, we propose an approach to address the problems with ambiguity in tuning the process and observation noises for a discrete-time linear Kalman filter. Conventional approaches to tuning (e.g. using normalized estimation error…

When probing nuclear spins in materials on the nanometer scale, random fluctuations of the spin polarization will exceed the mean Boltzmann polarization for sample volumes below about (100nm)^3. In this work, we use magnetic resonance force…

Nonlinearity in many systems is heavily dependent on component variation and environmental factors such as temperature. This is often overcome by keeping signals close enough to the device's operating point that it appears approximately…

Robustness and adaptivity are two competing objectives in Kalman filters (KF). Robustness involves temporarily inflating prior estimates of noise covariances, while adaptivity updates prior beliefs by exploiting measurements. In practical…

An Adaptive Nonlinear Differential Limiter (ANDL) is proposed in this paper to efficiently alleviate the impact of impulsive noise (IN) in a communication system. Unlike existing nonlinear methods, the ANDL is implemented in the analog…

Analysis of variance (ANOVA) reveals some disadvantages, such as non-robustness against heteroscedastic or non-normal errors and using difference to overall mean as effect sizes only. As an alternative the multiple contrast test comparing…

The optical interferometry has been widely used in various high precision applications. Usually, the minimum precision of an interferometry is limited by various technique noises in practice. To suppress such kind of noises, we propose a…

With the forthcoming release of high precision polarization measurements, such as from the Planck satellite, the metrology of polarization needs to improve. In particular, it is crucial to take into account full knowledge of the noise…

Kalman filters are widely used for object tracking, where process and measurement noise are usually considered accurately known and constant. However, the exact known and constant assumptions do not always hold in practice. For example,…

The estimation of non-Gaussian measurement noise models is a significant challenge across various fields. In practical applications, it often faces challenges due to the large number of parameters and high computational complexity. This…

This article introduces the Parabolic Variance (PVAR), a wavelet variance similar to the Allan variance, based on the Linear Regression (LR) of phase data. The companion article arXiv:1506.05009 [physics.ins-det] details the $\Omega$…
