In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Tb(2)(C(7)H(3)F(2)O(2))(6)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Tb(III) ion is coordinated by an N,N'-bidentate 2,2'-bipyridine mol-ecule, and two O,O'-bidentate 2,4-difluoro-benzoate (dfb) anions. One of the latter also bonds to the second Tb(III) centre through one of its O atoms. The third dfb anion bonds to one Tb atom from each of its O atoms. Thus, the...

The fabrication of visible wavelength vertically emitting distributed feedback (DFB) lasers with a subwavelength grating fabricated by a replica molding process and an active polymer layer printed by a horizontal dipping process is reported. The combined techniques enable the organic DFB laser to be uniformly fabricated over large surface areas upon a flexible plastic substrate, with an approac...

This paper introduces a directional filter bank (DFB) for segmentation of NDE images containing directional information. The DFB is used to split an image into a desired number of sub-band images with each sub-band image containing features belonging only to a given angular range. The DFB is a two-channel decomposition employing the Quincunx sampling matrix and the diamond half band filter pair...

− We demonstrate an ultra-stable visible laser source that can be generated from injection locked infrared DFB based on optical comb. The optical comb was used as injection source and locked to an acetylene stabilization laser as a reference source of optical communication region. The DFB laser was selectively injection locked from only one among the comb mode with 25 GHz spacing. The ultra-sta...

In this paper, based on the coupled-mode and carrier rate equations, derivation of a dynamic model and numerically analysis of a MQW chirped DFB-SOA all-optical flip-flop is done precisely. We have analyzed the effects of strains of QW and MQW and cross phase modulation (XPM) on the dynamic response, and rise and fall times of the DFB-SOA all optical flip flop. We have shown that strained MQW a...

We theoretically investigate the effects of frequency detuning and injection power on the nonlinear dynamics of DFB lasers under dual external optical injection. Keywords—Optical injection, DFB laser, frequency detuning, injection power.

In this manuscript we discuss state of the art hybrid integration techniques and III-V/Si active components with an emphasis on hybrid distributed feedback (DFB) lasers for telecom applications. We review our work on ultra-compact III-V/Si DFB lasers and further describe design considerations and challenges associated with electrically pumped hybrid lasers. We conclude with a perspective on DFB...

A Doppler filter bank (DFB) is the heart of pulsed Doppler radar and gives clutter filtering and coherent integration. With these capabilities, it provides the improvement of detection probability as well as velocity discrimination, which can detect small targets in clutter environment. This paper implements a DFB with parallel processing configuration using multiple digital signal processors (...

Over the last three decades extensive research has been carried out towards the design and development of fibre optic hydrophones. The inherent advantages of fibre optic sensing technology, like high sensitivity, immunity to electromagnetic interference, intrinsic safety to water leakage, remote measurement capability etc. makes it an ideal choice for underwater acoustic sensing[1, 2]. The init...

Silicon integration of mid-infrared (MIR) photonic devices promises to enable low-cost, compact sensing and detection capabilities that are compatible with existing silicon photonic and silicon electronic technologies. Heterogeneous integration by bonding III-V wafers to silicon waveguides has been employed previously to build integrated diode lasers for wavelengths from 1310 to 2010 nm. Recent...
