Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Micro-ring resonators (MRRs) are employed to generate signals used for optical communication applications where they can be integrated in a single system. These structures are ideal candidates for very large-scale integrated (VLSI) photonic circuits since they provide a wide range of optical signal processing functions while being ultra-compact. Soliton pulses have sufficient stability for preservation of their shape and velocity. Technological progress in fields such as tunable narrow band laser systems multiple transmission and MRR systems constitute a base for the development of new transmission techniques. Controlling the speed of a light signal has many potential applications in fiber optic communication and quantum computing. The slow light effect has many important applications and is a key technology for all optical networks such as optical signal processing. Generation of slow light in MRRs is based on the nonlinear optical fibers. Slow light can be generated within the micro-ring devices which will be able to be used with the mobile telephone. Therefore the message can be kept encrypted via quantum cryptography. Thus perfect security in a mobile telephone network is plausible. This research study involves both numerical experiments and theoretical work based on MRRs for secured communication. | Integrated Micro-Ring Photonics Principles and Applications as Slow Light Devices Soliton Generation and Optical Transmission

Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Although much research focuses on investigating the responses of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under sole impact or blast loads the responses of RC structures under a combination of impact and blast loads currently represent a gap in our knowledge. The combined actions of impact and blast loadings may be applied to RC structures during accidental or intentional collision of vessels vehicles etc. carrying explosive materials. A comprehensive study on the vulnerability of various structural members is carried out using finite element (FE) simulations under combination of impact and blast loads with the variations of various loading- and structural-related parameters and key parameters. This book introduces various structural analysis approaches for concrete structures when subjected to extreme loads such as impact and blast loadings. The theory of the combinations of impact and blast loads is proposed that can provide primary insights to the specific readers to develop new ideas in impact and blast engineering including combined actions of extreme loads arising from real-world intentional or accidental events. This book will be of value to students (undergraduate or postgraduate) engineers and researchers in structural and civil engineering and specifically those who are studying and investigating the performances of concrete structures under extreme loads. | Concrete Structures Subjected to Impact and Blast Loadings and Their Combinations

Microoptics and Nanooptics Fabrication

The deep interconnection between micro/nanooptical components and related fabrication technologies—and the constant changes in this ever-evolving field—means that successful design depends on the engineer’s ability to accommodate cutting-edge theoretical developments in fabrication techniques and experimental realization. Documenting the state of the art in fabrication processes Microoptics and Nanooptics Fabrication provides an up-to-date synopsis of recent breakthroughs in micro- and nanooptics that improve key developmental processes. This text elucidates the precise and miniaturized scale of today’s fabrication methods and their importance in creating new optical components to access the spectrum of physical optics. It details successful fabrication techniques and their direct effect on the intended performance of micro- and nanooptical components. The contributors explore the constraints related to material selection component lateral extent minimum feature size and other issues that cause fabrication techniques to lag behind corresponding theory in the development process. Written with the professional optical engineer in mind this book omits the already well-published broader processing fundamentals. Instead it focuses on key tricks of the trade helpful in reformulating processes to achieve necessary optical targets improve process fidelity and reduce production costs. The contributing authors represent the vanguard in micro-optical fabrication. The result of their combined efforts this searing analysis of emerging fabrication technologies will continue to fuel the expansion of optics components from the microwave to the infrared through the visible regime.
