In this paper, we investigated the compensation characteristics of distorted NRZ format and RZ format signal dependence on dispersion variation of each transmission section in 8-channel WDM system. The WDM system have two transmission sections of unequal length with respect to optical phase conjugator(OPC) position. We select highly-nonlinear dispersion shifted fiber(HNL-DSF) as a nonlinear medium of OPC in order to convert wideband signal waves to conjugated waves. First, we confirmed that RZ is better than NRZ as a modulation format for maintenance or stable performance, when total dispersion or both sections in WDM system is different each other. Also, we confirmed that total dispersion of the short length section must be smaller than that of the long length section in order to excellently compensate for NRZ format signal.

Pipe wall thinning is one of severe problems on structural safety in nuclear power plants. A guided wave can be a proper tool for the fast evaluation or monitoring. As for gradual wall thinnings, however, low sensitivity caused by the low reflection coefficient limits the use of the guided wave. In this work, instead of the guided wave reflection at the wall thinning, the variation of dispersion characteristics is concerned. SH waves were employed due to several advantages and the magnetostrictive patch transducers were used for the excitation and sensing of the SH waves. The proposed method were verified with some experiments and showed the feasibility as an effective tool for the inspection of gradual wall thinning.

In this paper, compensation characteristics of distorted WDM channel due to both chromatic dispersion and self phase modulation (SPM) is numerically investigated under the assumptions of non-uniformly distributed fiber dispersion, in order to inspect the application of mid-span spectral inversion (MSSI) to any exact transmission links. The MSSI is compensation method used in this approach. This method has an optical phase conjugator (OPC) placed in mid-way of total transmission length to compensate distorted WDM channels. It is confirmed that MSSI will become applicable to long-haul WDM systems by controlling input light power of transmission channels, when the averaged dispersion of both fiber sections with respect OPC was varied and distributed unequally each other. Applying MSSI to long-haul WDM system, it is possible to remove all in-line compensator, consequently it will be expected to reducing system cost.

We tested the characteristics of the BOAO Medium Dispersion Spectrograph (MDS) such as the CCD capabilities, wavelength shift by gravity direction variation, slit illumination function and efficiency. Then we calculated the appropriate exposure time to obtain the given S/N ratio for several given magnitudes. Also the remaining problems to be improved were discussed.

The particle dispersion in the turbulent mixing layer has been numerically investigated to clarify the effect of the velocity ratio in the large-scale vortical structures. In this study the LES with subgrid-scale model is employed. The Lagrangian method to predict the particle motion is applied. The particles of 10, 50, 150, 200${\mu}m$ in mean diameter were loaded into the origin of the mixing layer. It is shown that the characteristics of flow and growth rate are strongly dependent on the variation of the velocity ratio. It is also shown the relationship between the Stokes number and the particle dispersion. As a result, in the case of St~1 the particle dispersion is faster than the diffustion of the flow field while in the cases of both St<<1 and St>>1 it is shown that the particle dispersion in lower than the diffusion of the flow filed.

Generally, OPC(ordinary portland cement) is used for grouting in Korea, and bentonite has usually been added to prevent the deposition of cement particles. The dispersion of CB(cement bentonite) grout is influenced by variable factors i.e. water to cement ratio, particle size of cement, kind of bentonite, adding volume, methods of adding, viscosity of CB grout materials and curdling time. Among variable factors, the viscosity of CB grout materials is influenced by the dispersion, and dispersion is improved as increasing the mixing speed. In this paper, described a suitable mixing speed of the High Speed Mixer in field, engineering characteristics of CB grout materials vary with the water to cement ratio and the mixing speed as well as confirming the state of dispersion.

We have experimentally investigated the eye margin characteristics of intensity modulated 10Gb/s NRZ signals in optically amplified systems depending on optical signal-to-noise ratio and chromatic dispersion. For the practical system application, the minimum optical signal-to-noise ratio was 25 dB. We utilized the negative chirped transmitter and a dispersion compensation fiber to compensate the chromatic dispersion in single mode fiber. We found the optimum eye opening and receiver sensitivity in case of the residual dispersion of 0~+935 ps/nm.

Non-destructive measurement of zero-dispersion wavelength variation in a dispersion shifted fiber by four-wave mixing technique is carried out. The oscillatory behavior of the four-wave mixing efficiency is utilized for the measurement of the linear dispersion slope and zero-dispersion wavelength. A simple formula useful for engineering estimation of the characteristics of fiber four-wave mixing efficiency is presented.

The effect of eccentricity on dispersion and nonlinear properties of a photonic crystal fiber having elliptical air holes is investigated using a fully vectorial effective index method. It is found that the effective refractive index increases with increase of eccentricity. The dependence of dispersion and nonlinear properties of the PCF on the eccentricity of the air hole is investigated. It is revealed that eccentricity of the air hole affects the zero dispersion wavelength. Further, the nonlinear properties such as mode field area, nonlinear coefficient and self phase modulation of the Photonic crystal fibers are analyzed. The mode field area increases and the nonlinear coefficient decreases with increase in eccentricity. The variation of the self phase modulation with elliptical air hole is also discussed.

This paper describes the development of the stream-tube based dispersion model for modeling contaminant transport in open channels. The operator-splitting technique is employed to separate the 2D contaminant transport equation into the pure advection and pure dispersion equations. Then the total variation diminishing (TVD) schemes are combined with the second-order Lax-Wendroff and third-order QUICKEST explicit finite difference schemes respectively to solve the pure advection equation in order to prevent the occurrence of numerical oscillations. Due to various limiters owning different features, the numerical tests for 1D pure advection and 2D dispersion are conducted to evaluate the performance of different TVD schemes firstly, then the TVD schemes are applied to experimental data for simulating the 2D mixing in a straight trapezoidal channel to test the model capability. Both the numerical tests and model application show that the TVD schemes are very competent for solving the advection-dominated transport problems.
