Harmonic and Intermodulation Performance of Fabry-Perot Intensity Modulator

Abstract

In this article, a mathematical model for the transfer function of the Fabry-Perot intensity modulator is presented. The model, basically a cosine-series function, can be used to obtain closed-form expressions for the amplitudes of the harmonic and intermodulation products of the Fabry-Perot intensity modulator driven by a multi-frequency radio frequency voltage. The special case of a Fabry-Perot intensity modulator driven by an equal-amplitude two-frequency radio frequency voltage is considered in detail, and the results are compared, whenever possible, with previously published experimental and numerically obtained results.     

KF/clinoptilolite nanoparticles as a novel catalyst for the green synthesis of chromens using three component reactions of 4‐hydroxycoumarins: Study of antioxidant activity

In this research, the green synthesis of chromen derivatives in good yields is described via three‐component reactions of 4‐hydroxycumarine, aldehydes or ketones, and methyl ketones in the presence of KF/clinoptilolite nanoparticles (KF/CP‐NPs) under solvent‐free conditions at 50°C in low time. The present methodology suggests some advantages such as low reaction time, easy and simple procedure, green method, inexpensive catalyst, high yield of product, and existence of different substrates for performing these reactions. In addition, it should be mentioned that antioxidant activity was studied for some prepared compounds, such as 4a–4d, by DPPH radical trapping and reducing potential tests of ferric ion and then comparing results with TBHQ and BHT as synthetic antioxidants. In this study, compounds 4c was shown to have moderate DPPH radical trapping, and compounds 4b and 4d displayed good reducing power of ferric ion.

Spectroscopic study and antioxidant activity of the inclusion complexes of cyclodextrins and amlodipine besylate drug

The aim of the study was to synthesize and characterization the inclusion complexes of amlodipine besylate (AML) drug with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD) which has antioxidating activity property. The guest/host interaction of AML with β-CD and γ-CD in order to complexation drug in β-CD and γ-CD were investigated. The interaction inclusion complexes was characterized by fourier transform infrared and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopies. The formation constant was calculated by using a modified Benesi–Hildebrand equation at 25 °C. The stoichiometry of inclusion complexes was found to be 1:1 for β-CD and γ-CD with AML drug. The antioxidant activity of AML drug and its inclusion complexes were determined by the scavenging of stable radical 2,2′-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH^·). Kinetic studies of DPPH^· with AML and CDs complexes were done. The experimental results confirmed the forming of AML complexes with CDs also these indicated that the AML/β-CD and AML/γ-CD inclusion complexes was the most reactive than its free form into antioxidant activity.
