Several techniques, including transmission X-ray photography and AC-impedance spectroscopy, are available for evaluating the fiber dispersion in a fiber reinforced concrete Evaluating the fiber dispersion in fiber reinfored concrete needs since the fibers bridge crackseffectively. However, these equipment is very expensive. Therefore this paper presents the quantitative evaluation method based on the image analysis of sectional image taken using an ordinary digital camera. After detecting the fiber accurately, the fiber dispersion characteristics are represented by the coefficient such as the fiber dispersion coefficient, the number of fibers in unit area, and the distribution of the fiber orientation. Test were performed to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed method and the dispersion characteristics of fibers according placing method and flow direction. Additionally, the effect of fiber dispersion characteristics on mechanical properties was investigated. Test results shows that fiber aligned along the flow direction and more fibers placed and dispersion was better on the section parallel to the flow direction. And about 50% difference in the flexural tensile strength according to the placing method occured.

We investigated the combined effect of fiber chromatic dispersion and self-phase modulation (SPM) in multi-channel subcarrier multiplexed (SCM) optical transmission systems. We theoretically analyzed the transmission characteristics of the SCM signals with the effect of SPM and chromatic dispersion in a single-mode optical fiber by numerical simulations based on the nonlinear Schrodinger equation. The numerical simulation results revealed that the effect of fiber dispersion and SPM could occur independently between subcarrier channels in two-channel SCM systems for small optical modulation index (OMI) and large channel spacing. However, for large OMI, small channel spacing, and large fiber launching power, we found a performance degradation of the two-channel system compared to that of a single-channel system. These parameters are therefore important for the optimization of multi-channel SCM systems applicable to radio over fiber networks.

An investigation has been carried out, by computer simulation, to evaluate the impact of dispersion compensation configurations on 960 Gbps wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) system with optical phase conjugator (OPC). The considered dispersion compensation configurations in this research are conventional one-end type and bi-end type. One-end and bi-end type are made by using one dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) and two DCFs to decrease dispersion accumulated in one single mode fiber (SMF) span, respectively. It is found that bi-end compensation configuration offers the equal performance with that of one-end configuration in WDM system with residual dispersion per span (RDPS) of 400 ps/nm if net residual dispersion (NRD) had to be optimized in each cases.

Dispersion management (DM), optical phase conjugation (OPC), and the combination of DM and OPC are promising techniques to compensate for optical signal distortion due to group velocity dispersion and nonlinear Kerr effects. The system performance improvement in DM links combined with OPC has been reported; however, the fixed residual dispersion per span (RDPS) usually used in these links restricts the flexibility of link configuration. Thus, in this paper, a flexible optical link configuration with artificially distributed single-mode fiber (SMF) lengths and RDPS in the combination of DM and OPC is proposed. Simulation results show that the best artificial distribution pattern is the gradually descending distribution of SMF lengths and the gradually ascending distribution of RDPS, as the number of fiber spans is increased, regardless of the average RDPS, the optimal net residual dispersion, and the dispersion coefficient of the dispersion compensating fiber.

We demonstrated numerically that both the chromatic dispersion and the dispersion slope could be compensated by using purely phase-sampled superstructure fiber Bragg gratings provided with chirp of coupling coefficient along the wavelength axis. Also, we propose a purely phase-sampled Bragg grating for dispersion and dispersion slope compensation by introducing a chirp in coupling coefficient and sampling function. The bandwidth of all reflected channels can be equalized.

This paper aims to manufacture nonwoven fabrics by wet-laid technology using Vectran$^{(R)}$ one of the highly favoured high-performace fiber. In previous study, a novel evaluation on fiber dispersion was studied to select optimum surfactant by the need for the control of fiber dispersion in water with reference to wet-laid nonwoven technology. 3 Types of sulfonate anionic surfactants were chosen and added in a stage of agitation to improve dispersion behavior of fibers in water. It was observed that the state of fiber dispersion in water affected various properties of nonwovens, including appearance, physical properties, and mechanical properties. Nonwoven added SDBS was uniform in web structure, thickness and weight. Its average pore was small in size and consisted of fine pores and the value of porosity was high. Further, the difference of tensile value between 2 directions was the least. Consequentially, as the dispersion behavior of fiber increases, nonwoven shows more balanced and uniform physical properties in all directions.

Design rule of optical transmission link consisted of dispersion management (DM) controlling accumulated dispersion in total fiber length by precompensation and postcompensation, and optical phase conjugator (OPC) positioned at mid-way are proposed. DM schemes investigated in this paper are 2 types depending on the position of precompensation and postcompensation; bi-end type and concentration type. It is confirmed that effective residual dispersion ranges, as a design parameter of optical link, of transmission section from transmitter to OPC and transmission section from OPC to receiver are independence on the positions of dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) accomplishing precompensation and postcompensation, if both DCF position is symmetry with respect to OPC.

This paper presents a study on the permittivities of the carbon nano fiber/epoxy composite at microwave frequency. The permittivities of composite materials depend on the concentrations and the dispersion methods of the carbon nano fibers. The experimental values of complex permittivities were obtained for the specimen made by dispersion method using ethyl alcohol as dispersion media and compared with the results by simple mechanical mixing method.

In dispersion management (DM) and optical phase conjugation applied into optical transmission links with multi fiber spans for minimizing the impact of nonlinearity and group velocity (GVD), implementation possibility of DM using only one fiber span for pre- or postcompensation was assessed as a function of duty cycle of RZ pulse and residual dispersion per span (RDPS). It is confirmed that DM with optimal net residual dispersion (NRD) controlled by only one fiber span could be sufficiently applied into optical transmission links, though optimal NRD is more increased than that in transmission links with the general DM scheme of pre- and postcompensation. Thus, it is expected that optical transmission system is simply designed and implemented by applying the proposed DM scheme into real optical transmission links. Also, it is confirmed that the advantageous duty cycle of RZ is 0.5 and RDPS is setting to be small value for the effective transmitting wide signal wavelength range in optical links with optimal NRD controlled by only one fiber span.
