Spontaneous and stimulated Raman scattering in long low loss fibers [PDF]
This paper considers the problem of forward Raman scattering process in a single transverse mode fiber. Both pump wave depletion and spontaneous scattering are considered in the analysis.

Slowing of pulses to c/10 with subwatt power levels and low latency using Brillouin amplification in a bismuth-oxide optical fiber [PDF]
We report the generation of slow light using Brillouin amplification in a short length of highly nonlinear bismuth-oxide fiber. By using just 2m of fiber, we demonstrate a five-fold reduction in group velocity for ~200ns pulses, which we believe to be a ...

Deformation of a flexible fiber in a viscous flow past an obstacle [PDF]
We study the deformation and transport of elastic fibers in a viscous Hele-Shaw flow with curved streamlines. The variations of the global velocity and orientation of the fiber follow closely those of the local flow velocity. The ratios of the curvatures

Optical fibers with interferometric path length stability by controlled heating for transmission of optical signals and as components in frequency standards [PDF]
We present a simple method to stabilize the optical path length of an optical fiber to an accuracy of about 1/100 of the laser wavelength. We study the dynamic response of the path length to modulation of an electrically conductive heater layer of the ...

Wood anatomy of boreal species in a warming world: a review
Global warming is affecting tree growth and forest productivity, especially in the Northern boreal ecosystems. Wood quality, which is largely determined by anatomical traits of wood, is vital for the forest industry and global carbon sequestration ...

Modified Sagnac experiment for measuring travel-time difference between counter-propagating light beams in a uniformly moving fiber [PDF]
A fiber optic conveyor has been developed for investigating the travel-time difference between two counter-propagating light beams in uniformly moving fiber.

An experimental study of the California bearing ratio of basalt fiber reinforced loess
In order to study the factors affecting the CBR value of the fiber-reinforced loess and the mechanism of the fiber-reinforced soil, chopped basalt fiber was used as the reinforcement material, and the CBR test was performed by changing the moisture ...

Electrode geometry and preferential stimulation of spinal nerve fibers having different orientations: a modeling study [PDF]
In a computer modeling study of epidural spinal cord stimulation using a longitudinal array of electrode contacts, the effect of contact geometry and contact combination on the threshold voltages for stimulation of dorsal column (DC) fibers and dorsal ...
