Beginning from a common model of Brillouin scattering, the bulk viscosity is shown to play an important role in Brillouin linewidth determination. Pulse durations of SBS back-reflected optical pulses are measured over the temperature range of 5-40℃. SBS linewidths are de- termined via Fourier transformation of the time-domain results, and the bulk viscosity of water is measured and derived from the obtained values. Our results show that the proposed method for measurement of pulse durations is an effective approach for determining bulk viscosity. The method can be easily extended to determine bulk viscosities of other Newtonian liquids.展开更多

The pretilt angle of the TN medium within the TFT-TN panel affects not only its response times and view- ing angles but also the light-leakage positions of fringed- field-induced disclination lines within pixels of theTFT-TN panel.展开更多
