Mode couplings due to external forces distributed along a polarization-maintaining fiber: an evaluation
Abstract:
A new interferometric scheme for measuring mode conversion distributed locally along a polarizationmaintaining fiber is presented. Using this technique the power coupling coefficient, varying with magnitude and angle of external pressure transversely applied to a fiber, was evaluated both theoretically and experimentally. The coupling point location is determined with +/- 1.5-cm accuracy and resolution of better than 10 cm for a 220-m long fiber having modal birefringence of 4.4 x 10 (- 4). The coupling coefficient was proportional to the external force in the range from 5 x 10 (- 3) to 0.1 kg/mm. The relationships determined experimentally reflected those predicted by theory.

Energy Stored In A Coaxial Cable
In the simplest form, a coaxial cable can be represented by two long hollow concentric cylinders in which the current flows in opposite directions. The magnetic field inside and outside the coaxial cable is determined by using Ampère's law. The magnetic field inside...

Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must have a...
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.
