Passive harmonic mode-locking in soliton fiber laser is presented with excellent noise characteristics by employing a single-walled carbon nanotubes saturable absorber designed to interact with evanescent wave of the laser field. The 34(th) harmonic mode-locking pulses at 943.16 MHz repetition rate were stably generated with 18 mW output power, >50 dB side-mode suppression and -140 dB/Hz relati...

This article studies the numerical approximation of harmonic maps into surfaces, i.e., critical points for the Dirichlet energy among weakly differentiable vector fields that are constrained to attain their pointwise values in a given manifold. An iterative algorithm that is based on a linearization of the constraint about the current iterate at the nodes of a triangulation is devised and its g...

We show that under certain symmetry, the images of complete harmonic embeddings from the complex plane into the hyperbolic plane is completely determined by the geometric information of the vertical measured foliation and is independent of the horizontal measured foliation of the corresponding Hopf differentials. In this paper, we find a new explicit relation between the image of harmonic embed...

This paper presents an efficient Harmonic-CELP hybrid coder at 2.4 kbps utilizing the well-known characteristics of the Harmonic and CELP coders. According to frame voicing decision, the proposed hybrid coder switches the RP-VSELP coder as a fast CELP in case of unvoiced, or an improved Harmonic coder in case of voiced. The proposed Harmonic-CELP hybrid coder has several features as follows: fa...

Speaker identification accuracy decreases significantly in the presence of additive noise. In this paper, we propose a robust speech feature extraction method, which is based on the harmonic structure of voiced segments. The robust features are composed of fundamental and harmonic peak data from short-time spectrum. These features are evaluated by thirty speaker data from TIMIT database and add...

Plasma kinetics models which are commonly used to model rf discharges often produce electron energy distributions ~EEDs! averaged over the rf cycle. In doing so, the time dynamics of the EEDs are lost. In this article we describe a technique to recover these time dynamics by using an ‘‘on-the-fly’’ ~OTF! Monte Carlo method. The OTF method directly computes the harmonic content of the EEDs using...

A family of quantum anharmonic oscillators is studied in any finite spatial dimension in the scheme of first quantization and the investigation of their eigenenergies is presented. The statistical properties of the calculated eigenenergies are compared with the theoretical predictions inferred from the Random Matrix theory. Conclusions are derived. 1 Motivation The quantum harmonic oscillator p...
