Novel compact SOI-based reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer using microring resonators - art. no. 60190L

Novel compact design for 4-channel SOI-based reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer using microring resonators is presented and analyzed. Microring resonators have two important attributes as a key new technology for future optical communications, namely functionality and compactness. Functionality refers to the fact that a wide range of desirable filter characteristics can be synthesized by coupling multiple rings. Compactness refers the fact that ring resonators with radii about 30 mu m can lead to large scale integration of devices with densities on the order of 10(4) similar to 10(5) devices per square centimeter. A 4-channel reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexer comprises a grid-like array of ridge waveguides which perpendicularly cross through each other. SOI-based resonators consisted of multiple rings at each of the cross-grid nodes serve as the wavelength selective switch, and they can switch an optical signal between two ports by means of tuning refractive index of one of the rings. The thermo-optic coefficient of silicon is 1.86x 10(-4) /K. Thus a temperature rise of 27K will increase the refractive index by 5 x 10(-3), which is enough to cause the switching of our designed microring resonators. The thermo-optic effect is used to suppress the resonator power transfer, rather than to promote loss. Thus, the input signal only suffers small attenuation and simultaneously low crosstalk can be achieved by using multiple rings.

Design and Fabrication of Low-microwave loss Coplannar Waveguide and precise V groove on Silicon Substrate for Optoelectronic Packaging - art. no. 601938

Optoelectronic packaging has become a most important factor that influences the final performance and cost of the module. In this paper, low microwave loss coplanar waveguide(CPW) on high resistivity silicon(HRS) and precise V groove in silicon substrate were successfully fabricated. The microwave attenuation of the CPW made on HRS with the simple process is lower than 2 dB/cm in the frequency range of 0 similar to 26GHz, and V groove has the accuracy in micro level and smooth surface. These two techniques built a good foundation for high frequency packaging and passive coupling of the optoelectronic devices. Based on these two techniques, a simple high resistivity silicon substrate that integrated V groove and CPW for flip-chip packaging of lasers was completed. It set a good example for more complicate optoelectronic packaging.

Nonradiative recombination effect on photoluminescence decay dynamics in GaInNAs/GaAs quantum wells - art. no. 61180Z

The nonradiative recombination effect on the photoluminescence (PL) decay dynamics in GaInNAs/GaAs quantum wells is studied by photoluminescence and time-resolved photoluminescence under various excitation intensities and temperatures. It is found that the PL decay dynamics strongly depends on the excitation intensity. In particular, under the moderate excitation levels the PL decay curves exhibit unusual non-exponential behavior and show a convex shape. By introducing a new concept of the effective concentration of nonradiative recombination centers into a rate equation, the observed results are well simulated. In the cw PL measurement, a rapid PL quenching is observed even at very low temperature and is of the excitation power dependence. These results further demonstrate that the non-radiative recombination process plays a very important role on the optical properties of GaInNAs/GaAs quantum wells.

Narrow stripe selective growth of InGaAlAs waveguides used for buried heterostructure lasers - art. no. 63210I

The narrow stripe selective growth of the InGaAlAs bulk waveguides and InGaAlAs MQW waveguides was first investigated. Flat and clear interfaces were obtained for the selectively grown InGaAlAs waveguides under optimized growth conditions. These selectively grown InGaAlAs waveguides were covered by specific InP layers, which can keep the waveguides from being oxidized during the fabrication of devices. PL peak wavelength shifts of 70 nm for the InGaAlAs bulk waveguides and 73 nm for the InGaAlAs MQW waveguides were obtained with a small mask stripe width varying from 0 to 40 gm, and were interpreted in considering both the migration effect from the masked region (MMR) and the lateral vapor diffusion effect (LVD). The quality of the selectively grown InGaAlAs MQW waveguides was confirmed by the PL peak intensity and the PL FWHM. Using the narrow stripe selectively grown InGaAlAs MQW waveguides, then the buried heterostructure (BH) lasers were fabricated by a developed unselective regrowth method, instead of conventional selective regrowth. The InGaAlAs MQW BH lasers exhibit good performance characteristics, with a high internal differential quantum efficiency of about 85% and an internal loss of 6.7 cm(-1).

本文应用自适应共振理论中ART-2神经网络进行移动机器人环境障碍模式识别。ART-2神经网络在处理单方向渐变的模式输入时具有模式漂移的特点，机器人在静态环境中运动依赖这种特点，但在动态环境中模式漂移的特点却会对机器人的安全造成威胁。为此，设计了一种改进的ART-2神经网络，使得移动机器人同时适应在静态和动态环境中安全运动。

Instalação e Configuração do PostgreSQL no Linux via código-fonte.

Apesar de exigir maior grau de dificuldade do que a instalação via pacotes, a instalação via código-fonte oferece uma infinidade de recursos em relação à primeira, tais como: definir a estrutura de diretórios para binários, bibliotecas, módulos, manuais e demais arquivos do SGBD conforme o desejado, o que facilita a organização, localização e manutenção do PostgreSQL; ativar suporte a um determinado idioma, para tradução de mensagens; construir suporte a determinadas linguagens ou módulos; definir alguns parâmetros padrões; além de conceber maior controle e segurança nas atualizações de versões do SGBD, evitando assim, atualizações automáticas indesejáveis por meio do sistema operacional e a conseqüente perda de bases de dados; entre outros. Para este trabalho, foi utilizado o sistema operacional Ubuntu Server 8.04.1, contudo, este tutorial é totalmente aplicável e compatível a outras versões Ubuntu, bem como a outras distribuições Linux, respeitando, é claro, as particularidades de algumas distribuições, como a estrutura de diretórios destes. Quanto ao SGBD PostgreSQL, foi adotado a versão 8.3.4, lançada em Setembro/2008, contudo, este tutorial se aplica também à versões inferiores 8.x.x deste SGBD.
