Optical properties of zirconia-titania-ORMOSIL films for temperature tuning distributed feedback waveguide lasers

The zirconia-titania-ORMOSIL waveguide thin films with considerable optical quality were prepared by the sol-gel process. The refractive index (n) and the extinction coefficient (k) were determined by a scanning ellipsometer. Wavelength tunable output of distributed feedback waveguide lasing was demonstrated in Rhodamine 6G doped ZrO2 TiO2-ORMOSIL thin films by varying the temperature, and about 5.5 nm wavelength tuning range was achieved around the emission wavelength of 599 nm. The thermal-optic coefficient (dn/dT) of the active ZrO2-TiO2-ORMOSIL films was deduced. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Line-width reduction of a laser diode array using an external cavity with two feedback mirrors

A novel Littman-Metcalf external cavity laser diode array with two feedback mirrors is introduced. The line-width broadening effect caused by smile can be reduced by the novel external cavity. At the drive current of 16A, the line-width is narrowed to 0.1nm from free-running width of 1.6nm with output efficiency of 84%.

Comparativa entre distintos sistemas comerciales de feedback de la profundidad y frecuencia de las compresiones torácicas durante la Reanimación Cardiopulmonar realizada en un tren de larga distancia.

[Es]En este trabajo se analiza la posibilidad de utilizar los sistemas de feedback comerciales más conocidos (TrueCPR de la empresa Physio-Control y CPRmeter de Laerdal) en un tren de larga distancia. Se trata de estudiar su habilidad y precisión tanto en profundidad de compresión como en frecuencia. Para nes comparativos, también ha sido necesario analizar la precisión de ambos equipos en condiciones de laboratorio.
