Fast response self-pumped phase conjugator based on a +c-face incident configuration in a pentagon-shaped BaTiO3 crystal

We propose a novel geometry for a self-pumped phase conjugator that uses a +c-face incident configuration in a photorefractive pentagon-shaped 0°-cut BaTiO₃ crystal for obtaining fast response in phase conjugation. A steady phase-conjugate output with a fast response time 0.4 s is obtained when the incident beam has a 4 W/cm² intensity. The influences of position and angle on the temporal phase-conjugate response are also investigated. The advantage of this phase conjugator using this novel configuration is improved resolution of a phase-distorted image with a value as high as 128 lp/mm.     

Molecular dynamics of polycrystalline cellobiose studied by solid-state NMR

Molecular motions of polycrystalline cellobiose have been investigated by measuring proton spin–lattice relaxation times, T₁ and T_1ρ, and the second moment, M₂, in both protonated and D₂O exchanged forms over the temperature range 120–380 K. T₁ relaxation is dominated by the motions of hydroxyl groups between 150 and 380 K, characterised by an activation energy of about 8.74 kJ/mol, whereas T_1ρ relaxation is driven by the motions of the same groups between 120 and 300 K. T_1ρ results suggest that hydroxyl groups have a distribution of dynamics. Motion of methylene groups was detected in the second-moment experiments at about 350 K, characterised by activation energy of about 40 kJ/mol. Consideration of the calculated and observed rigid-lattice second moments suggests that the reported X-ray data are incorrect for the inter-proton distance on C6′. ¹³C CPMAS spectra of both protonated and deuterated cellobiose have also been measured. Spectra of the deuterated material showed the existence of a second crystalline form in addition to the normal form.     

Structural features of toxic chemicals for specific toxicity

We have studied the structural features of toxic chemicals from the RTECS database associated with specific toxicity. The frameworks, functional groups, and structure patterns of molecules are taken into account. Potential active frameworks, groups, and structure patterns for specific toxicity are gained by computational chemistry approaches. These structural features of toxic chemicals will be helpful in understanding activities of toxic chemicals and useful in predicting the toxicity of chemicals, especially in the early stage of drug design.     

Practical scheme for polarization-insensitive and frequency-conversion interval independent four-wave mixing in semiconductor optical amplifiers

A practical scheme for polarization-insensitive and frequency-conversion interval-independent four-wave mixing in an optical loop configuration is proposed that uses one conventional semiconductor optical amplifier device and two perpendicular polarized pump sources. The significant advantages of this technique are simplicity of configuration, efficient conjugate power generation, effective suppression of the signal and one pump wave at the output port, and reduction in noise.

where τ (0, ∞), σ [0, ∞), Q(t) C([t₀, ∞), R ⁺ ), r(t) C([t₀, ∞), (0, ∞)) with r(t) nondecreasing on [t₀ − τ, ∞). We shall show that all positive solutions of ( * ) can be classified into four types, A, B, C, and D, and we shall obtain sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of A-type, B-type, and D-type positive solutions of ( * ), respectively. A sufficient condition for the existence of C-type positive solutions of ( * ) is also given. Finally, we shall offer a sharp oscillation result for all solutions of ( * ). Our results generalize and improve those established in B. Yang and B. G. Zhang (Funkcial. Ekvac.39 (1996), 347–362).

Design criteria of a chemical reactor based on a chaotic flow

We consider the design criteria of a chemical mixing device based on a chaotic flow, with an emphasis on the steady-state devices. The merit of a reactor, defined as the Q-factor, is related to the physical dimension of the device and the molecular diffusivity of the reactants through the local Lyapunov exponents of the flow. The local Lyapunov exponent can be calculated for any given flow field and it can also be measured in experimental situations. Easy-to-compute formulae are provided to estimate the Q-factor given either the exact spatial dependence of the local Lyapunov exponent or its probability distribution function. The requirements for optimization are made precise in the context of local Lyapunov exponents. (c) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
