This article analyzes compact laterally coupled distributed feedback DFB lasers with three defect regions. These devices are more flexible and smaller than conventional DFB lasers, having typical lengths between 20 and 50 m and a width less than 1 m lateral gratings are inserted in a single-mode waveguide . We optimize the defect regions to achieve an improved performance. In other words, an ad...

The frequency-tuning and -control properties of monolithic doubly resonant optical parametric oscillators are analyzed for stable single-mode pump radiation. Single-axial-mode operation is observed on the idler and the signal for both pulsed and continuous pumping. Projections are made for tuning-parameter tolerances that are required for maintenance of stable single-frequency oscillation. Cont...

We demonstrate the existence of surface waves in two-dimensional photonic crystal slab edges. In finite-sized air-terminated photonic crystal boundaries, the slab-edge mode turns into a lasing mode under pulsed optical pumping conditions. Analyses of the modal behaviors of the slab-edge modes by means of calculations based on the plane wave expansion method and the finite-difference time-domain...

The control strategy this water is based Takagi-Sugeno type fuzzy supervisors and sliding mode controller. first generates the maximum power point current under varying climatic condition whereas second allows tracking reference signal produced by supervisor. includes generator (PVG) followed DC-DC Converter, DC bus, an AC/...

This paper deals with a theoretical investigation of heat and mass transfer with thermal radiation analysis on hydromagnetic peristaltic Prandtl fluid model with porous medium through an asymmetric tapered vertical channel under the influence of gravity field. Analytical results are found for the velocity, pressure gradient, pressure rise, frictional force, temperature and concentration. The in...

We demonstrated GaN-based photonic crystal (PC) nanobeam cavities by using the e-beam lithography and the suspended nanobeams were realized by focused-ion beam (FIB) milling. One resonant mode was clearly observed at 411.7 nm at 77K by optical pumping. The quality factor was measured to be to 7.4 × 10(2). Moreover, the degree of polarization value was measured to be 40%. The temperature-depende...

We report experimental results from multi-instrument diagnostic tools related to phenomena in the high latitude ionosphere F-region, induced by simultaneous action of powerful extraordinary (X-mode) and ordinary (O-mode) polarized HF radio waves at EISCAT (European Incoherent SCATter) during magnetically quiet background geophysical conditions. pump were injected towards magnetic zenith a frequ...

We investigate mode-locking processes in lasers displaying a variable degree of structural randomness. By a spin-glass theoretic approach, we analyze the mean-field Hamiltonian and derive a phase diagram in terms of pumping rate and degree of disorder. Paramagnetic (noisy continuous wave emission), ferromagnetic (standard passive mode locking), and spin-glass phases with an exponentially large ...
