A method for extracting the interference components of normal modes from broadband acoustic propagation data recorded by a single hy- drophone without any prior information is present in this paper. First, a Hermitian matrix is formed by the power spectral density. Second, a singular value decomposition （SVD） is performed on the Hermitian matrix to obtain the orthonormal eigenvectors, which are proportional to the interference components of normal modes. The fundamental equations of the new extracting method are derived based on normal mode and waveguide invariant theory. And the validity of the present method is verified by the numerical simulation and experimental results. In addition, the extracted results of normal-mode interference components are intended to be used for passive ranging of broadband sources.展开更多

We introduce bends, splitters, and mode converters for MDM waveguides with no additional loss. We also demonstrate that optical gain provides a mechanism for on/off switching in MDM plasmonic waveguides. Highly efficient compact couplers between dielectric waveguides and MDM waveguides are also introduced.展开更多

The system consists of 2×2 processor element chips interconnected in a mesh network configuration. An additional layer with optical waveguide structure is embedded in a conventional printed circuit board to construct the EOPCB. Vertical cavity surface emitting laser （VCSEL）/positive intrinsic-negative （PIN） arrays are ap- plied as the optical transmitters/receivers. Three 1 ~ 12 VCSEL/PIN parallel optical transmitting/receiving modules are used to provide 32 input/output optical channels required by the 2~2 chip-to-chip optical mesh interconnect system. The data rate in each optical channel is 3.125 Gbps and thus 10 Gbps parallel optical interconnect link for each direction of a chip is obtained. The optical signals from a processor element chip can be transmitted to another chip through optical waveguide interconnect embedded in the board. Thus the optical interconnect mesh network for parallel multiprocessor system can be implemented.展开更多

TO coefficients of EO fluorinated polyimide films with side-chain azobenzene chromophore were measured by attenuated- total-reflection （ATR） technique at different temperatures with TE- and TM-polarized lights, respectively. It is found that the absolute values of TO coefficients increase with the increments of both chromophore concentration and film thickness, but the polarization dependence of TO coefficients increases with the increment of chromophore concentration and decreases with the increment of film thickness.展开更多
