waveguides with low confinement loss, low chromatic dispersion, and low nonlinear effects are used in optical communication systems. optical fibers can also be employed in such systems. besides optical fibers, photonic crystal fibers are also highly suitable transmission media for optical communication systems. in this paper, we introduce two new designs of index-guiding photonic crystal fiber ...

Continued demand for higher bandwidth in data networks along with an industry need for standardized network components has driven the need for 10 Gb/s optical transceivers into the long haul, metro core, and enterprise/storage environments. In response to this demand, the functionality and performance of these modules have increased significantly, while the size, cost, and power consumption hav...

purpose: to compare the optical properties of hydrophilic and hydrophobic intraocular lenses (iols) containing uv-absorber and to determine their chemical composition. methods: optical properties of different foldable hydrophilic and hydrophobic as well as non-foldable hydrophobic polymethylmetacrylate (pmma) iols were evaluated in three powers of 15, 22 and 25 diopters. optical properties were...

The effect of excitons in GaInAs-InP coupled asymmetric quantum wells on the refractive index modulation, is analyzed numerically using a model based on the effective mass approximation. It is shown that two coupled quantum wells brought in resonance by an applied electric field will, due to the reduction in the exciton oscillator strengths, have a modulation of the refractive index which is mo...

In this paper we combined an optical mixer via photonic crystal ringresonator to propose an all optical 1 to 2 decoder. The main idea used in this paper isbased on controlling the optical behavior of the resonant ring via optical powerintensity. We know that resonant wavelength of the photonic crystal ring resonator isvery sensitive upon the refractive index of dielectric rods, on the other had...

This paper describes the Thermal and structural combined simulation on COMSOL Multiphysics of a Microwave (MW) Fin Taper (FT) Spatial Power Combiner (SPC) Power Amplifier (PA), based on rectangular Waveguide (WG). In the SPC based PA's, the captured power is feeded by microstrip transmission lines (μSTL’s) to Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuit (MMIC) Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA’s). T...

We report the monolithic integration, fabrication, and electro-optical properties of AlGaAs– GaAs-based transceiver (TRx) chips for 850 nm wavelength optical links with data rates of multiple Gbit/s. Avoiding the use of external fiber coupling optics and using a single buttcoupled multimode fiber (MMF) with 50 or 62.5μm core diameter, low-cost bidirectional communication in halfand even full-du...
