A theoretical model based on Fourier optics and the power-coupling overlap integral is built to investigate the interchannel response in a micro-electro-mechanical systems 1xN(2) wavelength-selective switch. The simulation results demonstrate that the interchannel response depends significantly on the output port location and the radius of curvature of the micromirrors. For the output originall...

recently, we have used the symmetric bracket of vector fields, and developed the notion of the symmetric derivation. using this machinery, we have defined the concept of symmetric curvature. this concept is natural and is related to the notions divergence and laplacian of vector fields. this concept is also related to the derivations on the algebra of symmetric forms which has been discus...

in this paper, we obtain two intrinsic integral inequalities of hessian manifolds.

The fiber-optic delivery of sparks in gases is challenging as the output beam must be refocused to high intensity (approximately 200 GW/cm(2) for nanosecond pulses). Analysis suggests the use of coated hollow core fibers, fiber lasers, and photonic crystal fibers (PCFs). We study the effects of launch conditions and bending for 2 m long coated hollow fibers and find an optimum launch f# of appr...

in this paper, by modifying cheng-yau$'$s technique to complete hypersurfaces in $s^{n+1}(1)$, we prove a rigidity theorem under the hypothesis of the mean curvature and the normalized scalar curvature being linearly related which improve the result of [h. li, hypersurfaces with constant scalar curvature in space forms, {em math. ann.} {305} (1996), 665--672].

Let Mn be a Riemannian n-manifold. Denote by S(p) and Ric(p) the Ricci tensor and the maximum Ricci curvature on Mn, respectively. In this paper we prove that every C-totally real submanifolds of a Sasakian space form M̄2m+1(c) satisfies S ≤ ( (n−1)(c+3) 4 + n 2 4 H2)g, where H2 and g are the square mean curvature function and metric tensor on Mn, respectively. The equality holds identically if ...

Background: Scoliosis is a health problem that causes a side-to-side curvature in the spine. The curvature may have an “S” or “C” shape. To evaluate scoliosis, the Cobb angle has been commonly used. However, digital image processing allows the Cobb angle to be obtained easily and quickly, several researchers have determined that Cobb angle contains high variations (errors) in the measurements. ...
