Error Behaviour In Optical Networks
(2005-12-01)Optical fibre communications are now widely used in many applications, including local area computer networks. I postulate that many future optical LANs will be required to operate with limited optical power budgets for a ... -
The Flexoelectro-optic Effect for Photonics Applications
(2006-07-22)This thesis comprises an account of research carried out into the flexoelectro-optic effect, as observed in chiral nematic liquid crystals, and its potential for application in fibre optic communications components. The ... -
Design support for eco-efficiency improvements in manufacturing
(2016-12-21)Eco-efficiency improvements in manufacturing is a controversial subject for researchers, practitioners as well as policy makers. The widely accepted definition of "doing more with less" is not accurate enough to guide the ... -
A method for the numerical analysis of combustion instabilities with an application to afterburner screech
(2015-05-16)This work concerns the prediction of potentially damaging thermoacoustic oscillations in gas turbine combustion systems by computational means. A framework is laid out to predict numerically the frequency and stability of ...
