Amplification effect on SBS and Rayleigh scattering in the backward pumped distributed fiber Raman amplifier

The amplification effect on stimulated Brillouin scattering （SBS） and Rayleigh scattering in the backward pumped G652 fiber Raman amplifier （FRA） is studied. The pump source is a 1427.2-nm fiber Raman laser whose power is tunable between 0 - 1200 mW, and the signal source is a tunable narrow spectral bandwidth （〈 10 MHz） external cavity laser （ECL）. The Rayleigh scattering lines are amplified by the FRA and Stokes SBS lines are amplified by the FRA and the fiber Brillouin amplifier. The total gain of SBS lines is the production of the gain of Raman amplifier and that of Brillouin amplifier. In experiment, the SBS gain is about 42 dB and the saturation gain of 25-km G652 backward FRA is about 25 dB, so the gain of fiber Brillouin amplifier is about 17 dB.

Preparation of CoFe alloy nanoparticles with tunable electromagnetic wave absorption performance

CoFe alloy nanoparticles with different particle sizes were successfully prepared by hydrogen-thermal reduction of CoFe₂O₄ microspheres at different temperatures. It was found that the real part of the permeability of the CoFe alloy nanoparticles increased with the decrease of the particle size, and accordingly the reflection loss (RL) peak moved towards the low-frequency region. The maximum RL of the coating based on CoFe alloy nanoparticles exceeded −23 dB, and a wide effective absorption band width (RL≤−10 dB) of about 6 GHz was simultaneously achieved. The EMA performance was confirmed to be tunable by the control of the absorber's particle size, and thus a new clue for the design of the EMA applications was supplied.     

Method of state code matrixes in the realization of optical switching using Perfect Shuffle

Based on the Left Perfect Shuffle (LPS) optical communication network constructed by cascade multi-stage LPS interconnection, using Looping algorithm, any arbitrary sequence of the input signals can be realized. However, instead of obtaining the simultaneous state codes of the same level node switches through mathematical analytical expressions directly, only routing tags of each channel can be obtained through mathematical analytical expressions so as to draw out topological chart of the network to obtain the state codes implied in the chart. Thus, the states of the switches cannot be directly programmed and controlled by computer in practical application. In this paper, based on the Looping algorithm, a method of stage code matrixes is presented to resolve this problem. By using the method, the simultaneous state codes of the same level’s four node switches can be directly obtained, which is convenient for the computer to provide controlled signals needed to finish the permutation for each node switch. The method of stage code matrixes provides further theoretical basis for the realization of optical switching by integration of Perfect Shuffle and high-speed optical switches.

Chemical and mechanical stability of EPDM in a PEM fuel cell environment

Proton exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell stack requires elastomeric gaskets in each cell to keep the reactant gases within their respective regions. Long-term durability of the fuel cell stacks depends heavily on the functionality of the elastomeric gasket material. Chemical and mechanical stability of the elastomeric material is of great concern to the overall performance of the fuel cell stacks. The degradation of a commercially available gasket material, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM), was investigated in a simulated PEM fuel cell environment in this work. One solution and two temperatures, based on actual fuel cell operation, were used in this study. Optical microscopy was used to show the topographical changes on the sample surface. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy was employed to study the surface chemistry of the gasket material before and after exposure to the simulated PEM fuel cell environment over time. Atomic absorption spectrometry was used to identify the leachants in the soaking solution from the elastomeric material. Microindentation test and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) were conducted to assess the change of mechanical properties of the samples exposed to the environment. The atomic absorption spectrometer analysis shows that silicon and calcium were leached from the material into the soaking solution. The ATR-FTIR results indicate that the chemical changes were not apparent. The microindentation test and DMA results reveal that mechanical properties were not changed significantly.
