However, several factors contribute to significant FSO link performance degradation. One of Most serious conditions is the influence of the rain, that frequently appear, thus making the implementation of strongly connected FSO networks a demanding issue. Dynamic FSO networks is attractive ones over the robust static ones, i.e, partial and full relayed networks, for this demanding issue. In this paper two new resource allocation Schemes are proposed for cooperative-dynamic FSO networks, as attractive solution for both atmospheric variation and high cost of robust static network problems. Each Scheme is formulated as integer linear multi-objective optimization problem (ILP-MOP), where reliability-fairness, capacity and bit-error rate functions are targeted. And each scheme is composed of lexicographic, lex-max-min and lex-min-max criteria. Each ILP-MOP is solved using exhaustive search method to obtain the guaranteed optimal solution(s). The simulation results is used to reveal that two schemes are more reliable-fairness and cost efficient than the robust static topology, specially at sever weather conditions. Also, the results show the two schemes have different behavior, where one prioritize the reliability-fairness over capacity utilization and the another does the opposite.","PeriodicalId":222009,"journal":{"name":"2016 4th International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology (PHOTOPTICS)","volume":"18 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122909783","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}

Rather than the usual optical multiple-input and multiple-output processing, simple space coding based on optical code division multiplexing was used to achieve separate detection of the desired signals. The signal to interference-and-noise ratio has a positive value when the relative phase drift between the optical signals in different cores is suppressed to values typically less than ∼π/10. Although a complete solution of the phase drift control problem was not achieved, this scheme suggests that real-time MCF transmissions are possible.","PeriodicalId":222009,"journal":{"name":"2016 4th International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology (PHOTOPTICS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130501983","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 the interactions of two stable in-phase (Δθ = 0) quiescent solitons result in several outcomes. The possible interaction outcomes between two solitons may include symmetric or asymmetric separation, merger into one quiescent or moving soliton, destruction of one or both solitons and the formation of three solitons. It is found that the outcomes of the interactions are dependent upon the strength of quintic nonlinearity (q), initial separation (Δx) of the solitons, coupling-coefficient (κ) between the cores and the group velocity term (c) in the linear core.","PeriodicalId":222009,"journal":{"name":"2016 4th International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology (PHOTOPTICS)","volume":"124 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128168182","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}

Five ex vivo human samples were studied. Spectral and lifetime measurements were acquired each hour. Fluorescence intensity decreased slightly with time. This decrease existed for healthy and tumoral samples and did not affect the differences between them: higher fluorescence intensity for control samples compared to tumor samples.

The total idea of the phase recognization method is as follows. Firstly, two pixels with suitable phase-difference are selected from the interference field and the interference equations of the two pixels' gray values are established in one driven cycle of PZT. Secondly, the parameters of interference equations can be obtained by using ellipse fitting algorithm. Thirdly, the point-to-point step length of PZT drive and sequence phases can be determined through reverse calculation of sequence phases. Finally, in order to calculate initial phase of every pixels four interference grayscale images that meet the four steps phase-shift algorithm are designed and calculated through Lagrange parabolic interpolation. The experimental results have shown that this method decreases the requirement for hardware, environment and needs less interference grayscale images than traditional methods. The method can meet the high precision demands of surface topography measurement and has high processing speed.","PeriodicalId":222009,"journal":{"name":"2016 4th International Conference on Photonics, Optics and Laser Technology (PHOTOPTICS)","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115221311","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}
