Title: Athermally-passive, adjustable, chromatic dispersion compensator using a linearly chirped fbg
Inventor: PELLETIER FRANCOIS
IPC: G02B6/02
Filed: 2003-02-04
Abstract: The present invention discloses an athermally-passive adjustable chromatic dispersion device. The device comprises an optical fiber grating which is fixed on its length to an elongated beam member that can be flexed so that a non-uniform tensile strain induced in the grating reconfigures the group delay response.  The chirp of the grating is changed by the bending of the bar, allowing adjustable chromatic dispersion compensation. A multi-material construction allows the package to passively compensate for the natural temperature dependence of the filter resonance wavelength by varying the strain in the fiber in response to changes in the ambient temperature. The device also allows for adjustment of the central filter wavelength without affecting the grating integrity.

Abstract: Flexible joint which is used for the repair during the production of metallic tubes which enclose loosely inside them optical fibers, surrounded by a suitable filling material or for the connection of long lengths of the above mentioned tubes during the manufacturing of submarine cables which contain these tubes.  The joint comprises a connecting metallic tube (6), which connects externally with overlapping at its ends the metallic tubes (3, 10) after splicing is performed between the optical fibers which they enclose and which are separated in bundles (1, 2).      The mechanical connection of the joint is achieved through plastic deformation of the over-applied connecting metallic tube by creating grooved rings (11) at the sections where it overlaps the metallic tubes to be connected (3,10). The water tightness of the joint is obtained by welding the ends (8) of the over-applied connecting metallic tube (6) to the external surface of the metallic tubes to be connected (3, 10). In the case the metallic tubes carry a plastic coating (4), this is restored in the area of the joint (9, 5).

Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed for controlling to a target heat release rate (HRR) using a HRR control lever, namely, pilot fuel timing and/or pilot fuel quantity, used in a gaseous-fuelled compression ignition internal combustion engine. The mechanism to control HRR to a target HRR provides improved performance and emissions for such an engine. A target HRR is determined for a cycle of an engine. A HRR control lever is then used to adjust to the target HRR in consideration of combustion conditions in the engine and the difference between the target HRR and Cycle HRR predicted for the cycle by reference to, by way of example, a derived HRR trace from a previous cycle, a pressure trace, a measured property of the exhaust gas directly determined or mapped values provided during calibration allowing for adjustment to a target HRR for the engine. The mapped values can be cross-referenced to the combustion conditions in the engine.
