Even in northern-tier Midwestern states, ticks are active and crawling for seven months or more yearly, and smart hunters everywhere will take precautions to prevent disease-carrying tick bites. I’ve ...

This work proposes a simple and efficient technique to improve the extinction ratio of a transmitter by using the regenerative properties of four-wave mixing (FWM) in a highly non-linear dispersion ...

Ticks also figuratively suck because they’re just plain gross. According to the Centers for Disease Control, avoiding wooded and bushy areas is the best way to prevent tick bites. Unfortunately, this ...

All-optical wavelength multicasting at 4times10 Gb/s with extinction ratio enhancement has been demonstrated based on pump-modulated four-wave mixing in a nonlinear photonic crystal fiber. We show ...
