The scheme is implemented by employing differential phase shift keying (DPSK) signals, bit-inverse properties of delay interferometers (DIs), as well as cross gain modulation (XGM) of semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). Correct logic results with high extinction ratios, clear and wide open eyes have been obtained simultaneously, without using any additional input beams. Furthermore, the great potential for hybrid or monolithic integration of delay interferometers and semiconductor optical amplifiers may make the scheme promising candidates for the future ultrafast photonic signal processing applications.","PeriodicalId":179447,"journal":{"name":"SPIE/OSA/IEEE Asia Communications and Photonics","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130981471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is found that all NWs are vertical to the substrate and no lateral growth occurs. The growth rate is proportional the flux rates of n dopant. It is observed that there is Gibbs-Thomson effect in doped NWs. Pure zinc blende structures without any stacking faults from bottom to top for all three samples were achieved.","PeriodicalId":179447,"journal":{"name":"SPIE/OSA/IEEE Asia Communications and Photonics","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127987435","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At this time, in dental office, it is difficult or even impossible to evaluate a metal ceramic crown or bridge before setting it in the oral cavity. The possibilities of ceramic fractures are due to small fracture lines or material defects inside the esthetic layers. Material and methods: In this study 25 metal ceramic crowns and fixed partial prostheses were investigated by radiographic method (Rx), micro computer tomography (MicroCT) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) working in Time Domain, at 1300 nm. The OCT system contains two interferometers and one scanner. For each incident analysis a stuck made of 100 slices was obtain. These slices were used in order to obtain a 3D model of the ceramic interface. Results: RX and MicroCT are very powerful instruments that provide a good characterization of the dental construct. It is important to observe the reflections due to the metal infrastructure that could affect the evaluation of the metal ceramic crowns and bridges. The OCT investigations could complete the imagistic evaluation of the dental construct by offering important information when it is need it.","PeriodicalId":179447,"journal":{"name":"SPIE/OSA/IEEE Asia Communications and Photonics","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125549834","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the erbium-doped fiber acts as the temperature compensation module. By monitoring the peak power variation and peak wavelength shift, it is feasible to simultaneously measure temperature and strain. The experimental results show that the mean square errors for temperature and stain are 0.35°C and 13.34με, respectively.
