Results show that using the index-matching liquids in PCF, the dispersion properties of the PCF can be easily engineered without changing in the geometry.
Kindergarten fees in PCF centres are generally low and affordable to many parents.
Due to finite number of air holes used in the cladding region, light confinement in PCF is inherently leaky.
Furthermore, because of strong optical absorption in PCF, an ultra-thin PCF was recently used to increase the absorption of black silicon [21].
The results show that the SC generation in PCF is strongly affected by the input polarization angle, pulse duration, peak power and initial frequency chirp.
The FLM acts as a sensor head, while the LPG in PCF serves as a filter to convert wavelength variation to optical power change.
Based on the coupled local-mode theory, the coupling behaviors and spectral characteristics of the LPGs in PCF fabricated by a femtosecond laser and a CO2 laser are analyzed which are supported by experiment results.
The dependence of structural parameters on the effective index of the fundamental guided mode, effective index of the fundamental cladding mode, mode field diameter, confinement loss, effective mode area, and chromatic dispersion in PCF have been studied, respectively.
After knocking down OD expression in PCF, the linoleate content was notably reduced, whereas that of oleate drastically increased, maintaining the total unsaturated fatty-acid level unchanged.
Similarly, RNAi-mediated down-regulation of RabX1 and RabX2 in PCF parasites resulted in no significant growth defect over nine days post-induction.
Over-expression of RabX1 in PCF parasites results in down-regulation of procyclin biosynthesis but up-regulation of total protein biosynthesis in addition to accumulation of ER-derived vesicular structures, suggesting a role in ER function [23].
