A variable polarisation compensator using artificial dielectrics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Artificial dielectrics can be made to exhibit strong birefringence. This property may be used to construct waveplates for a variety of applications. In this article, a method for making a variable artificial dielectric retarder, akin to a Babinet–Soleil compensator, is investigated. Whilst the feature sizes are too small for this device to be practical at optical wavelengths, the technique lends itself to quasi-optical instruments operating at terahertz wavelengths. q 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.

Performance of a single-input multiple-output decision feedback equaliser for polarisation mode dispersion compensation
To compensate the performance degradation induced by polarisation mode dispersion (PMD) in high-speed optical transmission, a single-input multiple-output (SIMO) decision feedback equaliser (DFE) technique is proposed to combat all orders of PMD-induced distortion. The scheme is based on a new SIMO PMD channel model which utilises information embedded in both polarisation states. The performanc...

AIM To evaluate changes in corneal polarisation properties and their influence on peripapillary retinal nerve fibre layer (RNFL) thickness measurements after laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) by means of scanning laser polarimetry (SLP) with variable corneal polarisation compensator (VCC) in normal white subjects. METHODS SLP was performed by means of GDx VCC on 32 eyes of 32 norm...
متن کاملIntelligent Control for the Variable-Speed Variable-Pitch Wind Energy System
In this paper, a new type of multi-variable compensation control method for the wind energy conversion systems (WECS) is presented. Based on wind energy conversion systems, combining artificial neural network (ANN) control and PID, a new type of PID NN intelligent controller for steady state torque of the wind generator is designed, by which the steady state torque output is regulated to track ...
متن کاملPower factor correction technique based on artificial neural networks
This paper presents a novel technique based on artificial neural networks (ANNs) to correct the line power factor with variable loads. A synchronous motor controlled by the neural compensator was used to handle the reactive power of the system. The ANN compensator was trained with the extended delta-bar-delta learning algorithm. The parameters of the ANN were then inserted into a PIC 16F877 con...
متن کاملInfluence of LASIK on scanning laser polarimetric measurement of the retinal nerve fibre layer with fixed angle and customised corneal polarisation compensation.
BACKGROUND/AIM Retinal nerve fibre layer thickness (RNFLT), as measured with scanning laser polarimetry using the fixed angle corneal polarisation compensator (SLP-F), has been found to be reduced after uncomplicated laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) compared to the pre-LASIK measurement. Since this virtual RNFLT thinning is attributed to the corneal changes induced by the LASIK, th...
