Calculation of the Coupling Coefficient of Twin-Core Fiber Based on the Supermode Theory with Finite Element Method

Currently, coupled mode theory (CMT) is widely used for calculating the coupling coefficient of twin-core fibers (TCFs) that are used in a broad range of important applications. This approach is highly accurate for scenarios with weak coupling between the cores but shows significant errors in the strong coupling scenarios, necessitating the use of a more accurate method for coupling coefficient calculations. Therefore, in this work, we calculate the coupling coefficients of TCFs using the supermode theory with finite element method (FEM) that has higher accuracy than CMT, particularly for the strong coupling TCF. To investigate the origin of the differences between the results obtained by these two methods, the modal field distributions of the supermodes of TCF are simulated and analyzed in detail.

Asymptotic Theory of Guided Modes for Cladded Slab Waveguides

Multilayer cladded slab waveguides have been solved by using asymptotic theory once or twice. Based on the solution of a three layer slab waveguide, the wave number of guided modes has been expanded in series of one or two small parameters. One side cladded slab, two side cladded slab and two parallel cladded slab waveguide system are demonstrated to show how to use this essentially analytic method. Numerical examples have also been given and compared with exact solutions, eved the first or second order solutions are highly accurate.

BACKGROUND Craniocerebral injuries encompass brain injuries,skull fractures,cranial soft tissue injuries,and similar injuries.Recently,the incidence of craniocerebral injuries has increased dramatically due to the increased numbers of traffic accidents and aerial work injuries,threatening the physical and mental health of patients.AIM To investigate the impact of failure modes and effects analysis(FMEA)-based emergency management on craniocerebral injury treatment effectiveness.METHODS Eighty-four patients with craniocerebral injuries,treated at our hospital from November 2019 to March 2021,were selected and assigned,using the random number table method,to study(n=42)and control(n=42)groups.Patients in the control group received conventional management while those in the study group received FMEA theory-based emergency management,based on the control group.Pre-and post-interventions,details regarding the emergency situation;levels of inflammatory stress indicators[Interleukin-6(IL-6),C-reactive protein(CRP),and procalcitonin(PCT)];incidence of complications;prognoses;and satisfaction regarding patient care were evaluated for both groups.RESULTS For the study group,the assessed parameters[pre-hospital emergency response time(9.13±2.37 min),time to receive a consultation(2.39±0.44 min),time needed to report imaging findings(1.15±4.44 min),and test reporting time(32.19±6.23 min)]were shorter than those for the control group(12.78±4.06 min,3.58±0.71 min,33.49±5.51 min,50.41±11.45 min,respectively;P<0.05).Pre-intervention serum levels of IL-6(78.71±27.59 pg/mL),CRP(19.80±6.77 mg/L),and PCT(3.66±1.82 ng/mL)in the study group patients were not significantly different from those in the control group patients(81.31±32.11 pg/mL,21.29±8.02 mg/L,and 3.95±2.11 ng/mL respectively;P>0.05);post-intervention serum indicator levels were lower in both groups than pre-intervention levels.Further,serum levels of IL-6(17.35±5.33 pg/mL),CRP(2.27±0.56 mg/L),and PCT(0.22±0.07 ng/mL)were lower in the study group than in the control group(30.15±12.38 pg/mL,3.13±0.77 mg/L,0.38±0.12 ng/mL,respectively;P<0.05).The complication rate observed in the study group(9.52%)was lower than that in the control group(26.19%,P<0.05).The prognoses for the study group patients were better than those for the control patients(P<0.05).Patient care satisfaction was higher in the study group(95.24%)than in the control group(78.57%,P<0.05).CONCLUSION FMEA-based craniocerebral injury management effectively shortens the time spent on emergency care,reduces inflammatory stress and complication risk levels,and helps improve patient prognoses,while achieving high patient care satisfaction levels.

Generalized Odd-Even Mode Theory and Mode Synthesis Antenna Design Approach

In this article,studies on the multimode excitation problem of waveguides and antennas,the balance/unbalance mech-anism and the balanced feeding techniques in dipole antenna systems are first briefly historically reviewed.In this context,general-ized odd-even mode theory is advanced to quantitatively and approximately describe the mutual coupling effect between a feed line and an antenna.As is mathematically deduced and demonstrated,the modal parity mismatch between the feed line and the antenna should ultimately dominate the unbalance phenomenon in antenna systems.Thus,an elegant,closed-form formula is derived to ap-proximately calculate the“unbalance degree”of a straight dipole off-center fed by a symmetric twin-wire line.Design approaches for the simplest,linear,1-D multimode resonant antennas are introduced.Moreover,the“falling tone excitation”law gauged based on prototype dipoles is revealed and used to develop a mode synthesis design approach for microstrip patch antennas(MPAs)and 2-D sectorial electric dipole antennas.Design examples with distinctive radiation performance are presented and discussed.Finally,possible development trends of multimode resonant antennas are prospected.

In the work of developing extrinsic fabry perot interferometric (EFPI), the key technology of polishing fiber optic endfaces and coating the multilayer of dielectric films on them is raised and resolved to settle the disturbance and stability problem of EFPI, which simplifies the sensing system, improves the sensor performance and reduces the cost. In this paper, the relations between the output interferential light intensity and the F P cavity length are calculated based on the theory of mode field coupling.

Numerical Analysis of Fiber Bragg Grating and Long Period Fiber Grating Undergoing Linear and Quadratic Temperature Change

The coupled-mode equations for fiber Bragg grating （FBG） and long period fiber grating （LPFG） undergoing linear and quadratic temperature change were given. The effects of temperature gradient and quadratic temperature change on the reflectivity spectrum of fiber Braggs grating and the transmission spectrum of long period fiber grating were investigated using the numerical simulation, and the dependence relationships of the central wavelength shift, the full-width-athalf-maximum, and the peak intensity upon temperature gradient were also obtained. These relationships may be used to design a novel fiber optical sensor which can simultaneously measure the temperature and temperature gradient.

Effects of memory on scaling behaviour of Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation

In order to describe the time delay in the surface roughing process the Kardar Parisis-Zhang （KPZ） equation with memory effects is constructed and analysed using the dynamic renormalization group and the power counting mode coupling approach by Chattopadhyay [2009 Phys. Rev. E 80 011144]. In this paper, the scaling analysis and the classical self-consistent mode-coupling approximation are utilized to investigate the dynamic scaling behaviour of the KPZ equation with memory effects. The values of the scaling exponents depending on the memory parameter are calculated for the substrate dimensions being 1 and 2, respectively. The more detailed relationship between the scaling exponent and memory parameter reveals the significant influence of memory effects on the scaling properties of the KPZ equation.

The wireless power transmission system based on nonlinear parity time symmetry is a robust sys-tem that can maintain high-efficiency transmission at a certain distance.Parity-Time Symmetry(PT symmetry)wireless power transfer system,due to its insensitivity to the position of the coupled resonant coil over a large range,can carry out constant power transfer to the load,and through coupled mode theory The PT symmetrical wireless power transmission circuit with S-P structure is analyzed,and the system has different transmission efficiencies in different coupling intervals,and the transmission effect of the structure at different distances is studied with the change of coupling coefficient.Then,the simulation is carried out by MATLAB and origin software.The final results show that the transmission efficiency does not change with the coupling coefficient in the strong coupling region and can maintain high-efficiency transmission.In the weak coupling region,the coupling coefficient has a great influence on the transmission efficiency of the system.

TE Mode Mixing Dynamics in Curved Multimode OpticalWaveguides

Propagation of light through curved graded index optical waveguides supporting an arbitrary high number of modes is investigated.The discussion is restricted to optical wave fields which are well confined within the core region and losses through radiation are neglected.Using coupled mode theory formalism,two new forms for the propagation kernel for the transverse electric(TE)wave as it travels along a curved two-dimensional waveguide are presented.One form,involving the notion of“bend”modes,is shown to be attractive from a computational point of view as it allows an efficient numerical evaluation of the optical field for sharply bent waveguides.

A patterned monolayer graphene metamaterial structure consisting of six graphene blocks and two graphene strips is proposed to generate triple plasmon-induced transparency(PIT).TriplePIT can be effectively modulated by Fermi levels of graphene.The theoretically calculated results by coupled mode theory show a high matching degree with the numerically simulated results by finite-difference time-domain.Intriguingly,the high-sensitive refractive index sensing and excellent slow-light performance can be realized in the proposed graphene metamaterial structure.The sensitivity(S)and figure of merit can reach up to 5.7115 THz RIU^(-1)and 116.32,respectively.Moreover,the maximum group refractive index is 1036.Hence,these results may provide a new idea for designing graphene-based sensors and slow light devices.

Multi-frequency switch and excellent slow light based on tunable triple plasmon-induced transparency in bilayer graphene metamaterial

We propose a novel bilayer graphene terahertz metamaterial composed of double graphene ribbons and double graphene rings to excite a dynamically adjustable triple plasma-induced transparency(PIT)effect.The coupled mode theory(CMT)is used to explain the PIT phenomenon,and the results of the CMT and the finite-difference time-domain simulation show high matching degree.By adjusting the Fermi levels of graphene,we have realized a pentafrequency asynchronous optical switch.The performance of this switch,which is mainly manifested in the maximum modulation depth(MD=99.97%)and the minimum insertion loss(IL=0.33 dB),is excellent.In addition,we have studied the slow-light effect of this triple-PIT and found that when the Fermi level of graphene reaches 1.2 eV,the time delay can reach 0.848ps.Therefore,this metamaterial provides a foundation for the research of multi-frequency optical switches and excellent slow-light devices in the terahertz band.

Waveguide-resonator coupling structure design in the lithium niobate on insulator forχ^((2))nonlinear applications

The microring resonator based on lithium niobate on insulator(LNOI)is a promising platform for broadband nonlinearity process because of its strong second-order nonlinear coefficients,the capability of dispersion engineering,etc.It is important to control the energy transmitted into the resonator at different wavelengths,as this becomes difficult for two bands across an octave.In this Letter,we study the effect of different pulley bus-resonator configurations on phase mismatching and mode field overlap.We achieve the control of energy transmission coefficients at different wavebands simultaneously and provide a general design methodology for coupled structures for broadband applications.This paper can contribute to quantum and classical optical broadband applications based on LNOI microring resonators.

Some Modal Relations and Generalized Velocity Method in State Space

Real mode theory in configuration space has shown that the mode acceleration method converges faster than the mode displacement method. This paper demonstrates a similar conclusion in the state space. Some new expressions on modal parameter matrices were set up first. A generalized velocity method (GVM) is then demonstrated in a systematic way. This method is the so\|called complex mode velocity method, but the expressions and schemes are given in terms of parametric matrices in configuration space. Theoretical comparison of this GVM with the traditional complex mode method shows some interesting conclusions. The latter approach is actually a generalized displacement method (GDM). Without mode reduction, the displacement responses of the concerned system resulting from both approaches are identical. On the other hand, both approaches have to adopt mode reduction to become practical. Under this situation, GVM has advantages because it compensates for the contribution of the omitted high\|order modes to the displacement responses.

Effects of Three Coupling Coefficients on the Spectrum Characteristics of Superstructure Fiber Grating

For the superstructure fiber grating （SFG） consisting of fiber Bragg grating （FBG） and long-period fiber grating （LPFG）, there exist three kinds of coupling： the contra-directional coupling between forward propagating core mode and backward propagating core mode, the contra-directional coupling between core mode and cladding mode, and the co-directional coupling between core mode and cladding mode. By using the similarity transformation method for the coupled mode equations, the effects of three coupling coefficients κcoL, κclL, and κsL on the transmission and re- flection spectra of SFG have been investigated. The simulations show that the overall intensity of the transmission spectrum of SFG is decided by LPFG, that the main lobes of the transmission and reflectivity spectra of SFG are decided by coupling coefficients κcoL and κsL, and that the side lobes of the transmission and reflectivity spectra are decided by coupling coefficients κclL and κsL.
