in this paper first we try to analysis the behavior ofthe soas in the optical networks and then have proposed anumerical simple model to simulate the behavior of thesemiconductor optical amplifiers. after that by employing thismodel as inline amplifier for a dwdm optical system, we havesimulated the transmission of 10 channels with bit rate 10 gb/sup to distance 3970 km with rz-dpsk modulation ...

We demonstrate a compact power-referenced fiber-optic accelerometer using a weakly tilted fiber Bragg grating (TFBG) combined with an abrupt biconical taper. The electric-arc-heating induced taper is located a short distance upstream from the TFBG and functions as a bridge to recouple the TFBG-excited lower-order cladding modes back into the fiber core. This recoupling is extremely sensitive to...

We have investigated the generation of supercontinuum in tapered Y-shaped fibers in the nanosecond pump regime. This fiber used to fabricate the tapers has, in addition, a Gedoped core which enhances the nonlinearity of the material and the Raman gain. The fiber was pumped at 1064 nm in the ns pump regime (0.6 ns pulses and up to 3.2 kW peak power). The taper had a uniform waist of 0.9 μm diame...

An optical resonance method for the determination of the strain- and stress-optical coefficients of optically transparent polymers is presented and exemplified for monodisperse and bidisperse molecular weight polystyrene (PS). This method employs whispering gallery modes (WGMs) resonation inside a spheroid polymeric cavity, suspended on an optical fiber taper waist, which, in turn, is used for ...

A novel geometry for enhancing the sensitivity of intensity modulated refractometric fiber optic sensor for detection of adulteration level in diesel by kerosene is proposed. In this multimode plastic optical fiber is uncladded for specific length and bent into S shape. This geometry is simulated and analyzed using Beam Propagation Method in Beam prop RSOFT software. When sensor is immersed in ...

background: headache is one of the most disturbing symptoms with common neurological signs. variations in optic nerve perfusion quality or retinal microcirculation may end up in ganglion cell damage in patients with migraine. methods: sixty patients diagnosed with migraine and thirty normal individuals were evaluated in groups including migraine with aura, migraine without aura and controls. re...

introduction radon is a colorless and tasteless gas which exists in most soils. it is a substance that poses a potential risk for lung cancer in case a person is exposed to high levels over long periods of time. the environmental protection agency (epa) estimates that 90% of lung cancers per year are caused by radon. the aim of this paper is to estimate the absorbed doses of 222rn by mcnpx simu...

using a new numerical model, the pump-to-signal relative intensity noise (rin) transfer in singlepumpfiber optical parametric amplifiers for low modulation frequencies is investigated. the model includesfiber loss, pump depletion, as well as the gain saturation, and therefore, it can describe the practicalcircumstances associated with various applications of fiber optical parametric amplifiers....
