Ramie (Boehmeria nivea L.) bast fiber is one of the most ancient natural fibers, which is used for textile only after degumming. Hemicellulose, pectin, and hydrotrope are the main colloidal matters in ramie fiber, which are removed when degumming ...

Low noise all-fiber amplification of a coherent supercontinuum at 2 \mu m and its limits imposed by polarization noise [PDF]
We report the amplification of an all-normal dispersion supercontinuum pulse in a Thulium / Holmium co-doped all-fiber chirped pulse amplification system.

Holomorphic fiber bundles with hyperbolic fiber [PDF]
The purpose of the present note is to show that holomorphic fiber bundles with hyperbolic fiber are almost trivial: They are trivial if the base is simply connected, and have a simple structure otherwise.

Temperature Insensitive Vector Bending Sensor Based on Asymmetrical Cascading SMF-PCF-SMF Structure
A temperature insensitive vector curvature sensor of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is presented based on core-offset splicing and waist-enlarged fiber taper. Obvious red and blue shifts in transmission spectrum appear at two symmetrical bending directions

Influence of matrix toughness and interfacial strength on the toughness of epoxy composites with ductile steel fabric reinforcement [PDF]
In the last decades, several studies have been performed on polymers reinforced with steel cords or wires. However, the diameter of these steel reinforcements was still quite large (200 micron and more).

Yielding and hardening of flexible fiber packings during triaxial compression
This paper examines the mechanical response of flexible fiber packings subject to triaxial compression. Short fibers yield in a manner similar to typical granular materials in which the deviatoric stress remains nearly constant with increasing strain ...

Lateral Stress Sensor Based on an In-Fiber Mach–Zehnder Interferometer and Fourier Analysis
A novel lateral stress sensor based on a compact in-fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) and Fourier analysis is proposed and demonstrated. The in-fiber MZI is formed by cascading two offset splicing joints.
