Investigating Optical Properties of One-Dimensional Photonic Crystals Containing Semiconductor Quantum Wells by Mahshid Mokhtarnejad, Morteza Asgari, Arash Sabatyan

“…We also demonstrated that the reflectivity of MQWs under normal incident was at maximum, while both using a strong pump and changing incident angle reduced it. Reflectivity of the structure for a weak probe pulse depends on polarization, intensity of the pump pulse, and delay between the probe pulse and the pump pulse. …”

Focusing Modeling of OPFC Linear Array Transducer by Using Distributed Point Source Method by Ziping Wang, Ying Luo

“…Compared with traditional transducer, the interaction effect of two OPFC linear phased array transducers is also modeled in the same medium, which shows that the pressure beam produced by the new transducer is narrower or more collimated than that produced by the conventional transducer at different angles. DPSM can be used to analyze and optimally design the OPFC linear phased array transducer.…”
