Active Mamyshev regenerator

The regenerator location problem

In this article, we introduce the regenerator location problem (RLP), which deals with a constraint on the geographical extent of transmission in optical networks. Specifically, an optical signal can only travel a maximum distance of dmax before its quality deteriorates to the point that it must be regenerated by installing regenerators at nodes of the network. As the cost of a regenerator is h...

The Generalized Regenerator Location Problem

In an optical network a signal can only travel a maximum distance of dmax before its quality deteriorates to the point that it must be regenerated by installing regenerators at nodes of the network. As the cost of a regenerator is high, we wish to deploy as few regenerators as possible in the network, while ensuring all nodes can communicate with each other. In this paper we introduce the gener...

Finite Element Analysis (FEA) on Rotary Regenerator Bed of Active Magnetic Refrigerator (AMR): Temperature Distribution

The Magneto Caloric Effect is an intrinsic property of a magnetic solid. It is the response of this solid to the application or removal of magnetic fields [1]. When magnetic material is subjected to a magnetic field the magnetic moments are aligned and the magnetic entropy is lower. And the sample heats up when the field is removed the magnetic entropy is increased and the temperature is lowere...

Heat Transfer Coefficient in a Packed Sphere Regenerator for Use in Active Magnetic Regenerative Refrigeration

A new robust regime for a dispersion-managed multichannel 2R regenerator.

We study the performance of a multichannel version [M. Vasilyev and T.I. Lakoba, Opt. Lett. 30, 1458 (2005)] of the all-optical Mamyshev regenerator in a practically important situation where one of its key components - a periodic-group-delay device - has a realistic amplitude characteristic of a bandpass filter. We show that in this case, the regenerator can no longer operate in the regime rep...
