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 ...

Intra-cavity spectroscopy using amplified spontaneous emission in fiber lasers [PDF]
Fiber laser sources offer interesting possibilities for gas sensors since they can operate over an extended wavelength range, encompassing the near-IR absorption lines of a number of important gases but a major problem is that overtone absorption lines ...

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 ...

Concrete is a brittle material when subjected to design and accidental impact loads, which are expected along the life span of the structure. To improve the impact performance of concrete, steel fibers are used as short discrete material reinforcing ...

Reducing Polarization Mode Dispersion With Controlled Polarization Rotations [PDF]
One of the fundamental limitations to high bit rate, long distance, telecommunication in optical fibers is Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD). Here we introduce a conceptually new method to reduce PMD in optical fibers by carrying out controlled ...

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 ...

Active fiber length distribution and its application to determine the critical fiber length
Abstract A new test and evaluation method has been developed to determine the critical fiber length characteristic of short fiber reinforced composites. From the so-called active ‘barbe’ (beard) length distribution calculated from the length distribution of the fibers in the composite and from the length distribution of the fibers protruding from the

Simulation of Optical Fiber Amplifier Gain Using Equivalent Short Fibers
Electromagnetic wave propagation in optical fiber amplifiers obeys Maxwell equations. Using coupled mode theory, the full Maxwell system within an optical fiber amplifier is reduced to a simpler model.
