Experiments are presented that lead to the determination of material kinetic parameter. These values are introduced in a numerical model to provide quantitative simulation of gratings formation under various holographic exposures. We extend its application to the investigation of film shrinkage influence on refractive index distribution and spectral selectivity of reflection gratings. This study improves the understanding of recording process and consequently allows building more accurate holographic components in this material.","PeriodicalId":342015,"journal":{"name":"Applications of Photonic Technology","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128805809","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 near transform limited pulses are only generated over a limited frequency range even if system is properly mode-locked over a wide frequency range around the fundamental mode-locking frequency. If transform limited pulses are not obtained at the fundamental frequency, output pulse is not more affected from the noise at this frequency.

Using the identical reference cavity for each feedback technique makes the system compact. The phase margin of optical feedback loop can be maximized by stabilizing the center frequency of a laser diode (LD) to the reference cavity mode, which is identical to the optical injection locking mode based on negative electrical feedback. To improve the long-term frequency stability relative to the reference frequency, the optical feedback path length has also been controlled by using frequency error signal obtained by Pound-Drever-Hall technique. With present system, the linewidth of a 35mW visible LD has been reduced to less than 40kHz. Using this frequency stabilized LD as a master light source, heterodyne optical phase-locking has also been carried out with Littorow configuration extended-cavity slave LD in order to evaluate applicability of our system to the OPLL. The achieved minimum square root of the Allan variance of the beat frequency fluctuation was 3.8×10-13 at integration time of 10 sec. Throughout this phase-locking experiment, we could confirm that our master system maintained good time base stability, not showing any system instabilities such as mode hopping or disturbances.","PeriodicalId":342015,"journal":{"name":"Applications of Photonic Technology","volume":"100 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122487935","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}

Periodontal diseases are some of the most common chronic disorders, which affect humans in all parts of the world. Treatment usually involves the removal of plaque and calculus by scaling and polishing the tooth. In some cases a surgical reduction of hyperplastic tissue, may also be required. In addition, periodontitis is a risk factor for systemic disorders such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Current detection methods are qualitative, inaccurate, and often do not detect the periodontal disease in its early, reversible stages. Therefore, an early detection method should be implemented identifying the relationship of periodontal disease with erythema. In order to achieve this purpose we are developing an optical erythema meter to diagnose the periodontal disease in its reversible, gingival stage. The discrimination between healthy and diseased gum tissue was made by using the reflection of two illuminating wavelengths provided by light emitting diodes operating at wavelengths that target the absorption and reflection spectra of the highlights of each particular tissue type (healthy or diseased, and what kind of disease). Three different color gels could successfully be distinguished with a statistical significance of P < 0.05.","PeriodicalId":342015,"journal":{"name":"Applications of Photonic Technology","volume":"152 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121157506","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}
