Theoretical and experimental analysis of phase noise in semiconductor lasers biased below threshold by Iker Pascual de Zulueta, Angel Valle

“…Additive and multiplicative noise models predictions are compared with measurements of the phase noise with a coherent receiver using a 90 ^∘ optical hybrid. We develop a novel method to extract the phase noise directly from our measurements, that in contrast to the usual direct method is not based on the analysis of the phase noise difference. …”

The influence of selected risk factors on the hearing threshold level of noise exposed employees by Adam DUDAREWICZ, Esko TOPPILA, Małgorzata PAWLACZYK-ŁUSZCZYŃSKA, Mariola ŚLIWIŃSKA-KOWALSKA

“…In the analysis, the distribution of hearing level of each subgroup was compared to the predicted one which the standard calculation method described in ISO 1999:1990. For each of the considered risk factors, the difference between measured and calculated hearing level distribution was used to establish, by the least square method, a noise dose related correction square function for the standard method. …”
