We fabricated an ultra-compact InP-based DP-QPSK modulator by the hybrid integration of an InP twin-IQ modulator and a PLC polarization multiplexing circuit for the first time. 112-Gb/s DP-QPSK modulation is successfully demonstrated.
With an aim of obtaining aluminum P/M materials strengthened by dispersion of transition metal compounds and solid solution of Mg , Al -2 mass % Co and Al -5 mass % Co alloys with varied Mg additions of 0, 1 and 5 mass% were prepared by rapid solidification techniques. Rapidly solidified flakes were produced by argon gas atomization and subsequent splat quenching on a water-cooled copper roll. The flakes were consolidated to the P/M (Powder metallurgy process is named as P/M) materials by hot extrusion after vacuum degassing. Cast ingots of these alloys were also hot-extruded under the same conditions to the I/M (Ingot metallurgy process is named as I/M) reference materials. Uniform dispersion of fine intermetallic compounds ( Co 2 Al 9) was observed in all the as-extruded P/M materials. Added Mg was present as the solute in the P/M and I/M materials alloy even after annealing at 773K. The P/M materials containing Mg exhibited higher hardness and strength than those without Mg at room temperature. Tensile strength increased with increasing amount of Mg in the I/M materials at elevated temperatures. However, strength of the P/M materials decreased with addition of Mg at 573K and 673K. According to the steady state creep rate and creep rapture time, the creep resistance of the P/M materials containing Mg was clearly inferior to that of Mg -free alloys. Thus the positive effects of Mg additions on mechanical properties of the P/M materials of Al - Co - Mg alloys disappeared at high temperature.
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.
