We have analyzed the amplification of a signal wave in the optical parametric interactions of the pump, signal, and idler waves in planar waveguides, with the pump wave being Cerenkov radiation. Based on the coupled-mode theory, we have derived the first-order coupled-mode differential equations for no pump depletion. The equations can easily be solved numerically. The approximate analytical and numerical solutions of the equations show that the signal wave can be amplified parametrically.

Optical parametric amplification has been analyzed for the Cerenkov-idler configuration in planar waveguides. The coupled-mode theory is employed for the analysis. The coupled-mode equations are derived and the approximate analytic solution is obtained for no pump depletion. From the analytic solution, it is shown that the signal power gain can be enhanced as the Cerenkov radiation angle of the idler approaches to zero. The numerical example is also shown for the effect of the Cerenkov radiation angle approaching zero.

To determine the effect of chemical structure of linear amine curing agents on thermal and mechanical properties, standard epoxy resin DGEBA was cured with diaminodiphenyl methane (DDM), diaminodiphenyl sulphone (DDS) in a stoichiometrically equivalent ratio. From this work, the effect of aromatic amine curing agents. In contrast, the results show that the DGEBA/DDS cure system having the sulfone structure between the benzene rings had higher values in the conversion of epoxide, density, shrinkage (%), glass transition temperature, tensile modulus and strength, flexural modulus and strength than the DGEBA/DDM cure system having methylene structure between the benzene rings, whereas the DGEBA/DDM cure system presented higher values in the maximum exothermic temperature, thermal expansion coefficient, and thermal stability. These results are caused by the relative effects of sulfone group having strong electronegativity and methylene group having (+) repulsive property and stem from the effect of the conversion ratio of epoxide group. The result of fractography shows that the each grain size of the DDM/DGEBA system with feather-like structure is larger than that of the DDS/DGEBA system.
