Nonlinear polarization rotation (NPR) in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) has applications in all-optical signal processing. Modeling NPR in a SOA requires knowledge of the carrier density induced refractive index ...

A wideband dynamic numerical model of a tapered buried ridge stripe semiconductor optical amplifier is described. The model is based on a carrier density rate equation and a set of travelling-wave equations describing the ...
A wideband steady-state model and efficient numerical algorithm for a bulk InP–InGaAsP homogeneous buried ridge stripe semiconductor optical amplifier is described. The model is applicable over a wide range of operating ...
The feasibility of employing a Lyot filter to compensate for the pattern effect in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is experimentally demonstrated. The operation mechanism relies on the control of its comb-like ...
A commonly held belief is that the friend construct in C++ is a violation of encapsulation. However, little empirical
analysis of its use has taken place to provide evidence to support this claim. This paper presents a ...
This article starts from the position that gender is crucial in understanding Irish society. Using Connell’s concept of the patriarchal dividend, and drawing on a variety of relevant literature, it explores its existence ...
Agent-oriented Conceptual Modelling (AoCM, as exemplified by the i* notation [5], represents an interesting approach to modelling early phase requirements that is particularly effective in capturing organizational contexts, ...

This case study aimed to examine how effective virtual manipulatives are in the teaching of primary mathematics. Concrete manipulatives are an expensive investment for primary schools and as a result there is often not ...
