引力波能否探测黑洞的近视界几何？若能，哪种频率尺度是最优的？尽管更短的波长通常能分辨更小的尺度，但我们表明黑洞散射可能存在信息论意义上的最优值。我们研究了一个可控的散射思想实验：将标量测试场的高斯脉冲发送至黑洞势，利用反射波形推断几何结构。近视界偏差用Rezzolla-Zhidenko度规定义，在高信噪比极限下通过费舍尔矩阵量化信息恢复。窄的高频脉冲能分辨小尺度，但大部分会穿透势垒；宽脉冲被有效反射，但对势的分辨能力差。两者的竞争选择了最优脉冲宽度，数值上发现其约为势垒峰值的平方根倒数。利用Pöschl-Teller解析解，我们进一步建模了准简正模式的正确激发，并将基模信息与包含瞬态响应的全波形信息分离。因此，最优探测器并非最高频脉冲，而是平衡空间分辨率与反射信息的波形，这一结果将黑洞光谱学、半经典势垒散射与信息理论联系起来。
英文摘要
Can gravitational waves probe the near-horizon geometry of black holes, and if yes, which frequency scale is optimal? Although shorter wavelengths usually resolve smaller scales, we show that black-hole scattering may impose an information-theoretic optimum. We study a controlled scattering Gedankenexperiment in which Gaussian pulses of scalar test fields are sent toward a black- hole potential and the reflected waveform is used to infer the geometry. Near-horizon deviations are parametrized with the Rezzolla-Zhidenko metric, and information recovery is quantified by the Fisher matrix in the high-signal-to-noise limit. Narrow, high-frequency pulses resolve short scales but are mostly transmitted through the barrier, while wide pulses are efficiently reflected but poorly resolve the potential. Their competition selects an optimal pulse width, numerically found to be set by about the inverse square root of the potential peak. Using the Pöschl-Teller analytical solutions, we further model the correct excitation of quasinormal modes and separate the information in the fundamental mode from that in the full waveform, including the prompt response. The optimal probe is therefore not the highest-frequency pulse, but the waveform that balances spatial resolution against reflected information, linking black-hole spectroscopy, semiclassical barrier scattering, and information theory.
