Characterization of Chromatic Dispersion and Refractive Index of Polymer Optical Fibers
(MDPI, 2017-12-20)
The chromatic dispersion and the refractive index of poly(methyl methacrylate) polymer optical fibers (POFs) have been characterized in this work by using a tunable femtosecond laser and a Streak Camera. The characterization ...
Fabrication of Active Polymer Optical Fibers by Solution Doping and Their Characterization
(MDPI, 2018-12-31)
This paper employs the solution-doping technique for the fabrication of active polymer optical fibers (POFs), in which the dopant molecules are directly incorporated into the core of non-doped uncladded fibers. Firstly, ...
Optical Characterization of Doped Thermoplastic and Thermosetting Polymer-Optical-Fibers
(MDPI, 2017-03)
The emission properties of a graded-index thermoplastic polymer optical fiber and a step-index thermosetting one, both doped with rhodamine 6G, have been studied. The work includes a detailed analysis of the amplified ...
Crank-Nicholson method for rate equations in powder random lasers
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
In this work, we show the resolution of the rate equations in powder random lasers by using the Crank-Nicholson finite difference method. Light propagation in our powders is described by the model of light diffusion. The ...
Mechanisms of Toxicity of Ag Nanoparticles in Comparison to Bulk and Ionic Ag on Mussel Hemocytes and Gill Cells
(Public Library Science, 2015-06-10)
Silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) are increasingly used in many products and are expected to end up in the aquatic environment. Mussels have been proposed as marine model species to evaluate NP toxicity in vitro. The objective ...
Study of the Influence of Various Stress-Based Mechanisms on Polarization of an SM mPOF for the Development of Useful Devices
(IEEE, 2017-07-15)
In contrast to conventional polymer optical fibres (POFs), single-mode microstructured POFs (SM mPOF) exhibit polarization properties that make them potentially interesting for their use in the design and development of ...
Negative Transfer Effects on L2 Word Order Processing
(Frontiers Media SA, 2018-03-14)
Does first language (L1) word order affect the processing of non-canonical but grammatical syntactic structures in second language (L2) comprehension? In the present study, we test whether L1-Spanish speakers of L2-Basque ...
Design, Fabrication and Testing of a High-Sensitive Fibre Sensor for Tip Clearance Measurements
(MDPI, 2018-08)
A highly sensitive fibre bundle-based reflective optical sensor has been designed and fabricated for Tip Clearance measurements in a turbine rig. The sensor offers high spatial and temporal resolution. The sensor probe ...
U-Shaped and Surface Functionalized Polymer Optical Fiber Probe for Glucose Detection
(MDPI, 2017-01)
In this work we show an optical fiber evanescent wave absorption probe for glucose detection in different physiological media. High selectivity is achieved by functionalizing the surface of an only-core poly(methyl ...
Cohomological tautness of singular Riemannian foliations
(Springer, 2018-11-16)
For a Riemannian foliation F on a compact manifold M, J. A. Alvarez Lopez proved that the geometrical tautness of F, that is, the existence of a Riemannian metric making all the leaves minimal submanifolds of M, can be ...
