Self-phase modulation effects in 1D optical slow-wave structures made of Fabry-Pérot cavities coupled by Distributed Bragg Reflectors (DBRs) are discussed. The nonlinear response of the structure is investigated by a comparative analysis of several numerical methods operating either in time or frequency-domain. Time-domain methods include two Finite-Difference Time-Domain approaches, respectively, optimized to compensate for numerical dispersion and to model nonlinearity at any order. In the frequency-domain an efficient method based on a numerical integration of Maxwell’s equations and an iterative nonlinear extension of the Eigenmode Expansion method are discussed. A Nonlinear Equivalent Circuit of DBRs is also presented as a useful model to reduce computational efforts. Numerical results show that bistable effects and self-pulsing phenomena can occur when either the optical power or the number of coupled cavities of the structure are sufficiently increased
The article describes the limiting parameters of the rising branch of adhesive characteristics. Attention is paid to the actual results of experimental research conducted by the authors. A summary of the obtained knowledge is made. In addition, a test stand of tram wheels driven by the synchronous motor and the carried out experiments are described. A comparison of the achieved results is drawn.
SynopsisRelationship between structural parameters of poly(ethy1ene terephthalate) (PET) fibers, their mechanical properties, and nonisothermal sorption of disperse dyes are investigated. Influence of diethylene glycol (DEG) addition and small changes in draw ratio are studied. Mechanical properties are characterized by stress-strain curves a t constant deformation rate. The stress-strain relationships are described by means of derivative analysis. For treatment of nonisothermal experiments a simple kinetic model is suggested enabling to determine activation parameters of sorption. Further, the influence of a blank dye bath on the structure and properties of PET fibers is studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
