Writing Bragg Gratings in Multicore Fibers
Published on: April 20, 2016
Abstract:
A numerical technique to obtain the wave behavior in tightly coupled multimode fibers with inhomogeneous indices is introduced in this paper. The specific problem of the coupling characteristics of two parallel multimode fibers whose index profile is parabolic is treated in detail. It was found that in spite of the fact that rather complicated coupling behavior is observed when multimodes exist, total guide power still exchanges among the fibers in a periodic manner, and the coupling length still increases monotonically as a function of the separation distance between the fibers. It has also been demonstrated that by simply specifying the index profiles of the coupling structure (provided that the profiles are slowly varying), the coupling characteristics can be generated with our technique.

Spin–Spin Coupling: Two-Bond Coupling (Geminal Coupling)
The central atom need not be NMR-active because its electrons are affected by the electron polarization of the spin-active atoms. However, spin information is transmitted less effectively than in one-bond coupling, and 2J values are usually weaker than 1J values. The energy of...

Spin–Spin Coupling: Three-Bond Coupling (Vicinal Coupling)
The extent of coupling depends on the C‑C bond length, the two H‑C‑C angles, any electron-withdrawing substituents, and the dihedral angle between the involved orbitals. The...

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene π orbitals.
