Phase-sensitive resonance in scattering of continuous waves on femtosecond solitons in photonic crystal fibers
Using cross-correlation frequency-resolved optical gating we observe the phase-sensitive resonance in the interaction of a soliton with a continuous wave in a birefringent photonic crystal fiber, which leads t...

Control of dispersion in photonic crystal fibers
Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) exploit the large index difference between air and glass to achieve modal properties unattainable by conventional fiber techniques.

Spectral-temporal soliton dynamics analysis near second zero-dispersion point in photonic crystal fibers
The propagation dynamics of an ultrashort optical pulse near the second zero-dispersion point of a small-core high-delta photonic crystal fiber is investigated using cross-correlation frequency-resolved optica...

From Scattering to Waveguiding: Photonic Crystal Fibres
Photonic crystals are formed of a regularly patterned microstructured material, with a pitch comparable to the optical wavelength. These materials exhibit unusual optical properties due to the interference of ...

Characterising Whispering-Gallery Modes In Microspheres Using A Near-Field Probe
We use scanning near-field optical microscopy to study the spatial structure of electromagnetic resonance modes in a high-Q dielectric microcavity of the whispering-gallery mode type. Direct observation of the...

Near Field Optics with High-Q Whispering-Gallery Modes
High-Q whispering-gallery modes (WGM) are resonant electromagnetic modes which can be observed in dielectric microspheres with diameters larger than about ten times the wavelength [1]. They correspond to high ...

Application of the Shifrin Inversion to the Malvern Particle Sizer
The Malvern Particle Sizer was developed by J. Swithenbank et al.1 in 1977, and has been extensively used since then for measuring the size distribution of solid particles and droplets. The reproducibility of res...

A Framework for Software Fault Tolerance in Real-Time Systems
Real-time systems often have very high reliability requirements and are therefore prime candidates for the inclusion of fault tolerance techniques. In order to provide tolerance to software faults, some form o...
