Optical limiters are nonlinear devices that encompass applications from device protection to activation functionalities in neural networks. In this work, we report an optical limiter on silicon photonics based ultracompact VO2/Si waveguide. Our 20-?m-long experimental features a thermal tunable threshold power of only ?3.5 mW while being spectrally broadband. work provides new pathway achieve i...

In this paper we develop a new limiter for linear reconstruction on non-coordinatealigned meshes in two space dimensions, with focus on Cartesian embedded boundary grids. Our limiter is inherently two-dimensional and linearity preserving. It separately limits the x and y components of the gradient, as opposed to a scalar limiter which limits all components simultaneously with one scalar. The li...

A water surface slope limiting scheme is tested and compared with the water depth slope limiter for the solution of one dimensional shallow water equations with bottom slope source term. Numerical schemes based on the total variation diminishing RungeKutta discontinuous Galerkin finite element method with slope limiter schemes based on water surface slope and water depth are used to solve one-d...

Influence of distributed generation systems in the distribution systems can increase the level of short-circuit current. The effectiveness of distributed generation systems is affected by the size, location, type of distributed generation systems technology, and the methods of connecting to distribution systems. Wind turbine system is the examples of distributed generation source. Not only does...

In the Quarterly Progress Report of October 15, 1957, page 52, we pointed out that we had devised a feedforward-across-the-limiter technique that could be arranged to suppress whichever of two cochannel FM signals is undesired. A simple experimental model of this system was built and tested (1). Before summarizing the experimental results, we shall present a resume of the appropriate theoretica...

We present a detailed characterization of passive, picosecond optical-power-limiting devices using tightly focused beams in thick semiconductor samples. This study of limiting in ZnSe with 30-psec, 532-nm pulses shows that the resulting internal self-action (two-photon absorption plus free-carrier self-defocusing) protects the bulk material from optical damage. Simple scaling relations were det...

We implement numerical modeling of high-energy laser-pulse propagation through bulk nonlinear optical materials using focused beams. An executable program with a graphical user interface is made available to researchers for modeling the propagation of beams through materials much thicker than the diffraction length (up to 10(3) times longer). Ultrafast nonlinearities of the bound-electronic Ker...

This paper analyzes the performance of directdetection optical CDMA systems with single optical hard-limiter using equal-weight orthogonal (EWO) signaling. Moreover, this paper clarifies the basic structure and the performance of the system using time-shifted versions of optical orthogonal code (OOC’s) as EWO signaling. The system assigns the time-shifted versions of OOC’s to the transmission o...
