In this paper, we present near-field optical images of nanostructures exhibiting an extraordinary transmission. These structures consist of annular aperture arrays engraved in a metallic film: they are quite promising structures for nanophotonics because o ...
Industrial applications often require two (or more) variable speed electric drives, which have to be controlled independently. An example is a centre-driven two-motor winder, where ac machines are traditionally supplied from their individual three-phase vo ...
The performances of kriging, stochastic simulations and sequential self-calibration inversion are assessed when characterizing a non-multiGaussian synthetic 2D braided channel aquifer. The comparison is based on a series of criteria such as the reproductio ...
Techniques for efficiently assigning resources for spurts of traffic in a wireless communication system are described. The system may support semi-persistent and non-persistent resource assignments. A semi-persistent resource assignment is valid for as lon ...

In this work, by using a comprehensive numerical model which rigorously describes the interaction between stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) and four-wave mixing (FWM), we verify that FWM processes, including depletion and parametric gain, generate a redist ...
We unveil the role of bound-to-continuum photoexcitation of carriers as a relevant process that affects the performance of quantum dot (OD) lasers. We present the response of an InAs/InGaAs QD laser to a sub-band gap pump, showing an unexpected depletion o ...
The degradation of the performance of distributed fiber Raman amplifiers (DFRAs) is shown to be dependent on the interaction between pump-pump four-wave mixing (FWM) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), by means of numerical simulations. We verify that F ...
Ultrawideband (UWB) radio is a promising solution for high-rate wireless communications over short ranges. In this paper, the performance of multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) UWB systems is analyzed using the Saleh-Valenzuela c ...
In this work, by means of numerical simulations, we verify that four‐wave mixing (FWM) processes, including depletion and parametric gain, generate a redistribution of pump power in distributed fiber Raman amplifiers (DFRAs). As a consequence of pump‐pump ...
