Transmission of 10 GHz,3.5 ps Optical Pulses Over 100-km Standard Fiber Using Mid-span Spectral Inversion

Transmission of 3.5ps optical pulses over 100-km standard fiber was demonstrated by employing phase conjugation in a semiconductor optical amplifier to compensate the chromatic dispersion.The pulses were broadened to 5 ps after transmission,which confirms the applicability of this technique to ultra high-bit-rate system beyond 40 Gb/s.     

Combined Flow Control Strategy Investigation for Corner Separation and Mid-Span Boundary Layer Separation in a High-Turning Compressor Cascade

To comprehensively control the corner separation and mid-span boundary layer (BL) separation, this study proposed and evaluated two new flow control configurations. One is a slotted configuration composed of blade-end and whole-span slots, and the other is a combined configuration with end-wall BL suction and whole-span slot. Additionally, the adaptability of the combined configuration to the lower blade solidity (c/t) condition was verified. The results indicate that both the slotted configuration and combined configuration can eliminate the mid-span BL separation, but a better reduction in the corner separation can be observed in the combined configuration. The two configurations can remove the concentrated shedding vortex and reduce the passage vortex (PV) for the datum cascade, but the wall vortex (WV) will be generated. By contrast, the combined configuration has weaker WV and PV than the slotted configuration, which contributes to further reducing the corner separation. In the combined configuration with a c/t of 1.66 and 1.36, the total pressure loss is reduced by 38.4% and 42.1%, respectively, on average, while the averaged static pressure rise coefficient is increased by 16.2% and 17.6%, respectively. This is advantageous for enhancing the working stability and pressure diffusion capacity for compressors. Besides this, the combined configuration with lower c/t can achieve a stronger pressure diffusion capacity and smaller loss than the higher c/t datum cascade. Therefore, the combined configuration is advantageous to the improvement of the aero-engine thrust-to-weight ratio through decreasing the compressor single-stage blade number.     

Codimension-two bifurcation of axial loaded beam bridge subjected to an infinite series of moving loads

A novel model is proposed which comprises of a beam bridge subjected to an axial load and an infinite series of moving loads. The moving loads, whose distance between the neighbouring ones is the length of the beam bridge, coupled with the axial force can lead the vibration of the beam bridge to codimension-two bifurcation. Of particular concern is a parameter regime where non-persistence set regions undergo a transition to persistence regions. The boundary of each stripe represents a bifurcation which can drive the system off a kind of dynamics and jump to another one, causing damage due to the resulting amplitude jumps. The Galerkin method, averaging method, invertible linear transformation, and near identity nonlinear transformations are used to obtain the universal unfolding for the codimension-two bifurcation of the mid-span deflection. The efficiency of the theoretical analysis obtained in this paper is verified via numerical simulations.     

Comparison of the compensation effects of fiber nonlinear impairments with mid-span optical phase conjugation between PDM CO-OFDM system and PDM QPSK system

The compensation effects of fiber nonlinearity in 112 Gb/s polarization division multiplexing(PDM) coherent optical systems by mid-span optical phase conjugation(OPC) based on four wave mixing(FWM) effect are studied. Comparisons of the compensation results between PDM coherent optical-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(CO-OFDM)system and the single carrier(SC) PDM quadrature phase shift keying(QPSK) system are provided as well. The results demonstrate that nonlinear compensation effect with mid-span OPC in PDM CO-OFDM system is much more obvious than that in SC PDM QPSK system.     

冲击荷载与火灾联合作用下SFRC梁的力学行为

为了探究冲击荷载与火灾联合作用下钢纤维混凝土(steel fiber reinforced concrete, SFRC)梁的力学性能,联合应用高性能落锤试验系统、四点弯曲实验装置与装配式电炉开展了4根SFRC梁的冲击实验与高温恒载实验,观察了其破坏模式并记录了跨中位移和钢筋应变的时程曲线,探讨了冲击损伤SFRC梁的抗火性能。此外,在实验研究的基础上,考虑材料的应变率强化效应及温度软化效应,建立数值模型,首先对梁进行冲击加载模拟,并以冲击模拟结果为初始状态,采用热-力“顺序”耦合方法,对冲击加载与高温恒载联合作用下SFRC梁的力学行为进行了三维宏观有限元数值模拟。同时,考虑混凝土内部结构非均质性的影响,采用类似步骤,开展了细观模拟。宏/细观模拟结果与实验结果的良好吻合验证了本文数值方法的合理性与有效性,并体现了细观方法的优越性。研究发现,冲击能量较小时,SFRC梁在冲击荷载作用下,尽管局部混凝土开裂,梁整体残余变形较小,抗火性能有一定程度的下降;随着钢纤维掺量增大,混凝土基体抗剪强度增大,SFRC梁在冲击荷载作用下的开裂形态由弯剪裂缝并存向以弯曲裂缝为主转变;冲击损伤SFRC梁在高温恒载作用下裂缝分布较为集中,且发生脆性破坏。     

155~Mb/s——10~Gb/s combined FSK-IM/optical label-packet modulation signals 100~km transmission over standard single mode fiber using mid-span spectral inversion by four-wave mixing in an SOA

This paper introduces the mid-span spectral inversion by four-wave mixing in a commercially available semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with a length of about 1.5~mm to optical label switching network based on combined frequency shift keying (FSK)-intensiy modulation (IM)/optical label-packet modulation to overcome the dispersion limitation of fiber. The 155~Mb/s--10~Gb/s combined FSK/IM signal is experimentally transmitted over a 100~km standard single mode fiber. 10^-10 and 10⁹ BER (bit error ratio), or even better, is achieved for the FSK label and IM packet, respectively. The -19~dB power conversion efficiency is obtained for -1~nm wavelength detuning.
