Abstract: The present invention provides methods of making covalently crosslinked vinyl polymer hydrogels having advantageous physical properties, and covalently crosslinked vinyl polymer hydrogel compositions made by such methods, as well as articles of manufacture comprising such covalently crosslinked vinyl polymer hydrogel compositions. The physical properties of the produced hydrogels can be adjusted by varying controlled parameters such as the proportion of physical associations, the concentration of polymer and the amount of radiation applied. Such covalently crosslinked vinyl polymer hydrogels can be made translucent, preferably transparent, or opaque depending on the processing conditions. The stability of the physical properties of the produced vinyl polymer hydrogel can be enhanced by controlling the amount of covalent crosslinks.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un convertisseur de modulation optique (10) conçu pour convertir le format de modulation d'un signal d'entrée optique, lequel convertisseur se caractérise par un support biréfringent (14), une fibre de maintien de polarisation, avec un retard de temps de propagation de groupe différentiel sélectionné entre ses deux principaux axes de symétrie à travers lesquels passe le signa d'entrée optique afin d'être séparé en deux composants optiques circulant, chacun, le long de l'un des deux axes principaux du support à une vitesse de groupe différente de manière à permettre la conversion du format de modulation du signal d'entrée. Grâce à un choix approprié du retard de temps de propagation de groupe différentiel conféré par le support par rapport au débit binaire du signal d'entrée et grâce à une présentation appropriée du signal d'entrée par rapport aux axes principaux du support, la conversion entre les différents formats de modulation peut être réalisée. Ce mode de réalisation comprend la conversion directe de MDPCD optique (manipulation par déplacement de phase à cohérence Différentielle) en POLSK (modulation de polarisation par déplacement de phase), de MDPCD en MI (modulation d'intensité) en passant par une conversion intermédiaire en POLSK, de POLSK en DDMI (détection directe à modulation d'intensité), et de MI en POLSK.
