Let C[[x1, . . . ,xn]] (brie£y C [[x]], where xˆ (x1, . . . ,xn) is the vector of indeterminates) be the ring of formal power series in n indeterminates x1, . . . ,xn with complex coe¤cients.We consider in this paper formal power series transformations F by which we understand automorphisms F of C[[x]] which are continuous with respect to the order topology (i.e., order preserving) and leave ev...

Digitized-Radio over Fibre (DRoF) techniques provide higher dynamic range and are more robust against optical link impairments. In this paper, a fully-photonic DRoF system is proposed and its performance is investigated in an integrated system with an analogue Radio over Fibre (ARoF) system. In this simulation based evaluation, DRoF and ARoF systems performance in the presence of other channels...

In this paper, a fibre laser at 546 nm has been studied for a signal power of -30 dB. Er-doped ZBLAN fibre has been used by upconversion pumping of a 980 nm laser diode. Gain saturation effect has been investigated in detail. Laser performance has also been discussed. An efficiency of 35% has been calculated with a length of 5 mm fibre laser. Results show that Er-doped ZBLAN is a promising cand...

Photonic crystal fibre (PCF)s with zero chromatic dispersion at the telecommunication wavelength is reported. The PCF design parameters, such as the effects of air holes and structural design parameters on the effective index, effective mode area, confinement losses and chromatic dispersion, have been carefully investigated by using the full vectorial finite element method. It is demonstrated t...

This paper reviews sensing applications of optical fibre microwires and nanowires. In addition to the usual benefits of sensors based on optical fibres, these sensors are extremely compact and have fast response speeds. In this review sensors will be grouped in three categories according to their morphology: linear sensors, resonant sensors and tip sensors. While linear and resonant sensors mai...

Optical couplers are very important devices in optical communication systems and optical sensor systems. Several types of optical couplers with different materials or different transmission characteristics have been reported. Here we propose a semi-reciprocal polarization maintaining fibre coupler with unique transmission characteristics, which is distinct from conventional polarization maintai...

In this paper we described a structure of an original multiwavelength optical fiber source for DWDM systems. In order to obtain a several dozen of optical carriers with highly stable channel spacing of 4.5GHz a single laser source and acousto optic frequency shifter were used. Results of the analysis of the structure properties were presented. Key-Words: DWDM, EDFA, multiwavelength

In the last decade optical fibre tapers with micrometer diameter (often called microfibers) have been investigated for numerous applications ranging from sensing to wavelength convertors, telecom and optical manipulation. This paper reviews the various applications of microfibres. 1. Optical microfibres Although microfibers with diameters comparable to the wavelength have been manufactured for ...

The main objective of this study is to propose a methodology to build a parametric linear model of Flexible Multibody Systems for control design. This approach uses a combined Finite Element State Space Approach based on component modes synthesis and double-port approach. The proposed scheme offers the advantage of automatic assembly of substructures, preserving the elastic dynamical behavior o...

Fever: a Clinical Study. By T. J. Maclagan, M.D. London: J. & A. Churchill. 1888. Dr. Maclagan has above all things the pen of a ready writer, and this book forms no exception in respect of quality to his previous publications. It is so pleasant to peruse a book whose grammar is irreproachable, and style attractive. In the space of something over 160 pages, Dr. Maclagan enunciates his theories ...
