We present a gigahertz (GHz)-repetition-rate optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped by an electro-optic comb at 1.03 µm, delivering sub-picosecond signal pulses across 1.5–1.7 µm from MgO-doped periodically poled L mathvariant="normal">i</mml:mi...

Preliminary note The aim of the investigation was to compare and unveil efficiency of electro-hydraulic control (EHR) system to mechanical three point hitch regulation in mouldboard ploughing. Increase of working velocity and three point hitch automatic regulation activity decreased depth of ploughing at both regulation systems but electro-hydraulic system done it more accurately since deviatio...

objective: in this article, a numerical study is conducted on mixing of two fluids in the liquid phase with two different concentrations of a chemical species in the electro-osmotic flow. methods: the base liquid is an electrolyte which flows in a two-dimensional micro-channel having electrically charged walls. lorentz electric force, which is used as stimulating flow factor, is created by appl...

This paper discusses the performance monitoring and optimization of large scale jet pumping in Mangala field, one of the biggest onshore fields in India. Mangala field is characterized by multi-Darcy sandstones, containing waxy and viscous crude oil. Currently, the field is producing at plateau of 150,000 BOPD. The base development plan for the field included hot water flooding; this also makes...

In order to evaluate the utilization of variable ATP concentration produced by an oscillatory reaction (as in anaerobic glycolysis), we analyze the thermodynamic efficiency of power output of a cyclic, ATP-driven proton pump found in the plasma membrane of plant cells. The model used includes the coupling of potassium and calcium ion transport. Oscillations in the concentration of ATP can lead ...

We report on an upconversion cascade laser in an erbium-doped ZBLAN fiber emitting simultaneously on the three transitions (4)S(3/2) ? (4)I(9/2) at 1.7 microm , (4)I(11/2) ? (4)I(13/2) at 2.7 microm , and (4)I(13/2) ? (4)I(15/2) at 1.6 microm . At moderate pump powers, the laser transition at 1.6 microm supports 2.7-microm lasing and permits a slope efficiency at 2.7 microm of 15% versus launch...

We compare different tilted-pulse-front pumping schemes for single-cycle THz generation in LiNbO(3) crystals both theoretically and experimentally in terms of conversion efficiency. The conventional setup with a single lens as an imaging element has been found to be highly inefficient in the case of sub-50 fs pump pulses, mainly due to the resulting chromatic aberrations. These aberrations are ...
