The developed method of optimal design of flexible optical networks takes into account various factors and goals to ensure efficient use of resources, high performance, scalability, and adaptability. A mathematical model is developed to determine the key parameters of the fiber optic linear network route. The topology of the route of a fiber-optic linear network based on the proposed matrix model is proposed. An algorithm for using the matrix model of parameters based on the proposed variant of the fiber-optic linear network route is developed. The application of a systematic approach using the proposed method will allow network designers to achieve optimal design of flexible optical networks that efficiently use resources, provide high performance, as well as scalability and adaptability necessary for future growth and technological progress.
The law of conservation and transformation of energy proves one of the fundamental laws of nature. In mechanics, this law is defined as the law of conservation of mechanical energy. It states that the total mechanical energy of a closed system of bodies, where solely conservative forces interact, remains constant. Consideration is given to the methodical recommendations related to implementing laboratory experiments for the experimental verification of the law of the energy conservation in a closed system. The paper is aimed at theoretically substantiating the use of innovative techniques of carrying out laboratory experiments in physics under the present-day conditions of training military students of higher military educational establishments which will contribute to developing their professional competence under the conditions of the fundamental and professional training integration.
The paper presents an entirely fiber optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer formed in a polarization maintaining photonic
crystal fiber (PM PCF). It uses the interference between the polarization modes and the cladding modes. The method of
collapsing the air holes in a single segment of the PM PCF was applied to excite the cladding mode from the polarization
modes of the PM PCF and create the coupling region of these modes. Measurements of the wavelength spectra of the
produced interferometers were performed. The influence of the interferometer length on the period of the wavelength
spectrum was investigated experimentally. On the basis of these measurements the difference of the group refractive
indices of the polarization modes and the cladding mode was determined. The dependence of the strain sensitivity
coefficient of the produced interferometers on the wavelength was determined experimentally. The possibilities of
application of the constructed interferometer for sensors are presented.
Presented is a compact, all-PCF modal interferometer made by fusion splicing. The splices were performed in such a way as to cause the holes of the PCF to collapse over the length of the splice. The modal interferometer is created by the segment of a birefringent PCF, including the micro-collapses at the ends, and SMF-28 pigtails spliced to it. Obtained spectra of the interferometer and an estimation of its parameters are presented. The effect of tensile strain on the spectrum is illustrated. The application possibilities of the constructed interferometer for sensors are given.
