Synthesis and Characterization of Short Saccaharum Cilliare Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites by A. S. Singha, Vijay Kumar Thakur

“…Present work reveals that mechanical properties such as: tensile strength, compressive strength, flexural strength and wear resistance of the UF matrix increase up to 30% fibre loading(in terms of weight) and then decreases for higher loading when fibers are incorporated into the matrix polymer. Morphological and Thermal studies of the matrix, fibre and short fibre reinforced (SF-Rnf) green composites have also been carried out. …”

Ultranarrow-linewidth stimulated Brillouin scattering with fundamental acoustic waves by Wendao Xu, Maxime Zerbib, Arjun Iyer, Kien Phan Huy, Jean-Charles Beugnot, William H. Renninger

“…In this work, sub-MHz Brillouin linewidths as narrow as 110 kHz are observed in tapered optical fibers with homogeneous waists. Tight confinement of both the optical and acoustic waves yields Brillouin gains over a thousand times higher than traditional backward Brillouin scattering in standard fibers, and a long waist and low-loss transitions enable a Brillouin interaction strength nearly a hundred times greater than prior taper-based FIM-FAM demonstrations. …”
