Low-threshold self-induced modulational instability ring laser in highly nonlinear fiber yielding a continuous-wave 262-GHz soliton train

Modulational instability (MI) is employed in a self-induced ring cavity configuration based on highly nonlinear dispersion-shifted fiber (HNL DSF) and an erbium-doped fiber amplifier to generate a continuous-wave 262-GHz train of 365-fs optical solitons. The laser operates around 1540 nm, with an average output power of 15 mW. MI is achieved at a low threshold as a result of low average cavity dispersion and high fiber nonlinearity. It is shown that, because of the normal dispersion of the HNL DSF, the solitons exist in the average soliton regime.     

Copropagating and counterpropagating pumps in second-order- pumped discrete fiber Raman amplifiers

The gains and noise figures of discrete second-order-pumped fiber Raman amplifiers utilizing copropagating and counterpropagating pump configurations were experimentally obtained, and the gain results were compared with computer simulations. It was found that the additional gain that is due to second-order Raman pumping is larger for the copropagating pumps than for the counterpropagating pumps, in agreement with simulations. In contrast to distributed second-order-pumped fiber Raman amplifiers, a slight increase in noise figure, by as much as ~1 dB was observed relative to the single-pump scheme. However, the advantages of second-order pumping in discrete amplifiers include greater flexibility in design of the gain distribution along the fiber and the ability to spectrally distribute the pump powers to avoid undesired nonlinear effects.

Fluorocarbon- containing hydrophobically modified poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)

A fluorocarbon-modified poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) has been synthesized by copolymerization of N-isopropyl acrylamide with a small amount of acrylate or methacrylate containing a perfluoroalkyl group. It was found that the hydrophilicity of macromolecular backbone is an important factor to the solution properties of the copolymers and that hydrophobic association between fluorocarbon groups is stronger than that between the corresponding hydrocarbon analogies. The viscosity of some of the copolymer solutions was very sensitive to temperature. It was dilatant at higher fluorocarbon comonomer content ( > 0.20-1.0 mol%) and was Newtonian at very low fluorocarbon comonomer content (0.03-0.2 mol% ) . Evidence for hydrophobic association of the fluorocarbon groups was obtained from the effects of adding Nad and surfactants on the solution viscosity. The LC-ST properties of these copolymers were studied by DSC method and this was also found to be consistent with hydrophobic association between the fluorocarbo

Luminescence-Based Optical Fiber Chemical Sensors

Abstract

A scheme for the simultaneous determination of temperature and analyte concentration for application in luminescence-based chemical sensors is proposed. This scheme is applied to an optical oxygen sensor, which is based on the quenching of the fluorescence of a ruthenium complex. Temperature measurement is performed using the excitation radiation and an absorption long-pass filter. Preliminary results are presented that show the viability of an oxygen measurement that is independent of temperature and optical power level. The possibility of self-referenced temperature measurements with semiconductor nanoparticles is also investigated. In order to optimize the sensor design, several different optical fiber probe geometries for oxygen sensing are tested and compared, including different methods of coupling radiation into the optical fiber system. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polyacrylamide membranes are tested as supports for sensor immobilization in fiber-optical pH sensing devices in aqueous solution. Some results are presented that show the feasibility of using fiber-optical pH indicators for remote monitoring.     

INDUCED OSCILLATIONS GENERATED BY PROTECTIVE THRESHOLD POLICIES IN THE MANAGEMENT OF EXPLOITED POPULATIONS

Abstract Management and conservation of exploited populations have been a central issue in theoretical and empirical studies. In this work, it is shown that threshold policies can induce cyclic behavior in an otherwise exploited stable population as a consequence of the combination of harvest pressure and excessively protective threshold densities. Moreover, the dynamical outcomes generated by these extremely protective policies may vary according to the initial densities. These results may be of significant concern in conservation as well as in management of exploited population.
