双包层光纤侧面耦合器

研究了一种侧面抽运双包层光纤的方法，从被剥除了外包层、端面为350μm×400μm的D型双包层光纤内包层上切下长度为3mm的一段柱体，并胶合在相同的双包层光纤内包层的侧面上，构成了柱体-光纤侧面耦合器。半导体激光器的抽运光从该柱体的一端入射并通过它耦合进入双包层光纤的内包层，实验测得耦合器最大耦合效率为85％。该方法适用于输出功率为数瓦的光纤激光器和放大器的侧面抽运。

Undergraduate performance in accounting and business-based information technology

The pervasiveness of information systems (IS) in organizations mandates the need for high levels of IS skills. In recognition, professional bodies impose IS course requirements for accreditation. For both students and employers, performance in IS courses has become important. The tertiary entrance overall performance score accounted for 19.7 per cent of the variance in students' passing grades. Thereafter, proficiency in office automation software and programming accounted for 1.5 and 0.8 per cent of the variance, respectively. Students living in a stable, family home-based environment performed better and it is likely that this environment underpinned other factors affecting performance.
