Wavelength sensitivity in blindsight [PDF]
Blindsight--the residual visual functions observed in visualfield defects resulting from destruction of part of the primary visual cortex (striate cortex) even though visual stimuli presented in the field defect are not consciously perceived--has generated new insights into the nature of consciousness and the role of the extrastriate pathways in visual

New rest wavelength determinations for 7 mid-infrared fine structure lines by ISO-SWS [PDF]
Observations of the planetary nebulae NGC6302, NGC6543 and NGC7027 by the Short Wavelength Spectrometer (SWS) on board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) have been used to determine rest wavelengths of spectral lines. We report on improved accuracies for wavelengths of 7 mid-infrared ionic fine structure lines.

Modulation instability induced by cross-phase modulation in a dual-wavelength dispersion-managed soliton fiber ring laser [PDF]
We report on the observation of modulation instability induced by cross-phase modulation in a dual-wavelength operation dispersion-managed soliton fiber ring laser with net negative cavity dispersion. The passively mode-locked operation is achieved by using nonlinear polarization rotation technique. A new type of dual-wavelength operation, where one is

Nanosecond channel-switching exact optical frequency synthesizer using an optical injection phase-locked loop (OIPLL) [PDF]
Experimental results are reported on an optical frequency synthesizer for use in dynamic dense wavelength-division-multiplexing networks, based on a tuneable laser in an optical injection phase-locked loop for rapid wavelength locking.

Research on infrared emission spectra of pulverized coal ash deposits [PDF]
This paper deals with thermal radiation properties of ash deposits on a pulverized coal boiler of an electric power plant. Normal emittance spectra in the 2.5-25 μm interval, and total normal emittance, were measured on 2 kinds of ash layers of a mm ...
