    摘要: A dispersion compensation module (DCM) for compensating dispersion of an optical fiber transmission link is provided. The optical fiber transmission link comprises a transmission fiber and the DCM. The DCM comprises at least first and second dispersion compensating fibers, DCF1 and DCF2, respectively. DCF1 and DCF2 each have a dispersion, D1 and D2, respectively, a dispersion slope, S1 and S2, respectively, and a relative dispersion slope, RDS1 and RDS2, respectively. The transmission fiber also has a dispersion, DTransFiber, a dispersion slope, STransFiber, and a relative dispersion slope, RDSTransFiber. DCF1 and DCF2 are selected based on their respective relative dispersion slopes, RDS1 and RDS2, respectively. DCF1 and DCF2 have particular, lengths, L1 and L2, respectively. The DCFs are combined with each other and with the transmission fiber and RDS1 and RDS2 are such that the combination of the transmission fiber with the combined DCFs results in overall dispersion compensation of the optical fiber transmission link.

    摘要: A GRIN fiber lens is fabricated by the steps of providing a graded index glass preform, thinning the graded index preform to remove a sufficient thickness of the graded glass to establish a desired Δn, and drawing a graded index optical fiber from the thinned graded index preform. Thinning, in this context, refers to removal of graded index glass from the outside of the graded index preform so as to reduce its outer diameter. The thinning thus changes Δn which is the refractive index difference between the center of the preform and its outer surface. The graded index preform can be provided by MCVD deposition followed by removal of the starting tube glass, by OVD deposition, by VAD, or by ion exchange fabrication. The thinned graded index preform is advantageously annealed before drawing in order to minimize ripple. And, in a variation of the process, an overcladding can be applied over the thinned graded preform before draw for further adjustment or control of the Δn.

    摘要: A method and apparatus is disclosed for retorting particulate solid materials, particularly hydrocarbon-containing materials such as oil shale, oil sands, tar sands, coal shale, coal tailings, and the like, for the recovery of a volatile constituent such as oil or gas. A rotary retorting apparatus is employed which consists of a cylindrical drum, or other similar regularly shaped chamber, with a substantially horizontal axis of rotation and having multiple compartments for retorting and combustion and, optionally, spent solids cooling. The apparatus further includes solids transport chutes for forward and backward circulation of solids, arranged for the intercompartmental transfer of solids with the capability of additions at one or more points in each compartment. Employing the method and apparatus, particulate solids feedstock is heated by recycled spent solids material to remove the volatile constituent of the feedstock in the retort section. Another feature of the invention employs direct solids-to-gas contact established by lifting and cascading reacting solids through hot gas streams such that throughput, high thermal efficiency, low energy input, among other advantages, are obtained in producing high yields of volatile product. In particular, high oil yields and gas yields are obtained when processing oil shale, but with low sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides in the flue gases and reduced hydrogen sulfide in the retort gases.
