A new method for chromatic dispersion mapping in optical fibers is presented. It is based on measuring the CW four-wave mixing distribution created by two beams along the fiber using a Brillouin-OTDA. Experimental results demonstrate the feasibility of the ...
Bi-directional Transmission (or Reflection) Distribution Functions, commonly named BTDFs (and BRDFs), are essential quantities to describe any complex fenestration system in details. They are defined as the ratio of the luminance diffused from a surface el ...
By combining a metallic ink and standard inks, one may create printed images having a dynamic appearance: an image viewed under specular reflection may be considerably different from the same image viewed under non-specular reflection. Patterns which are e ...
The thermotropic phase diagram of 1:1 co-crystals of hexamethylenetetramine and pimelic acid (heptanedioic acid) is investigated. Three crystalline phases are identified at ambient pressure. Phase I is disordered, as revealed by diffuse rods in its diffrac ...
The transfer mechanism of 1-pyrene sulfonate anion (PSA−) across the polarized water 1,2-dichloroethane (DCE) interface was investigated by a combination of electrochemical techniques and potential modulated fluorescence (PMF) spectroscopy under total inte ...
The combination of EPR and Mossbauer spectroscopy along with IR, Diffuse Reflectance UV-visible, and XRD techniques proved to be a powerful tool for identifying and characterizing the mol. and electronic structure of various Fe complexes formed inside the ...
The inventive method for measuring the optical properties of transparent and/or diffusive objects (18), especially their reflection profile, uses two coupled interferometers. Said coupled interferometers are operated with two beams of different coherence l ...
Several models predict the reflectance of a rough metallic surface. They are however not adapted to the surfaces used in the packaging industry, such as boxes made of printed metallic plates. For printing purposes, metallic surfaces need to be varnished. L ...
High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), electron microdiffraction, and X-ray diffraction were used to study hydroxyapatite specimens with particle sizes from a few nanometers to several hundreds of nanometers. Diffuse scattering (without ...
Investigates the use of embedded optical fiber Bragg gratings to measure strain near a stress concentration within a solid structure. Due to the nature of a stress concentration (i.e., the strong nonuniformity of the strain field), the assumption that the ...
