ABSTRACTMicrowave joining of sintered silicon carbide, both to itself and reaction bonded silicon carbide, has been accomplished in a single mode rectangular resonant cavity. Several approaches using different interlayer materials were employed to join sintered silicon carbide. Effective joining of reaction bonded silicon carbide to itself and sintered silicon carbide was accomplished without the use of any interlayer material in the single mode resonant cavity as well as in a multi-mode oven. Specimens cut from 0.95 cm diameter rods were joined in the single mode cavity, whereas a variety of arbitrary shapes and larger specimens (of reaction bonded silicon carbide) were joined in the multi-mode oven.

AbstractIn the past several years there has been an explosive growth in the use of microwave energy for the processing of a host of materials. Microwave energy provides rapid internal heating which results in an overall reduction in the processing time. The important features of microwave processing are described, as well as several applications.Microwave energy has been used by a few groups for the joining of alumina, mullite, silicon nitride and silicon carbide. The work performed by these groups will be reviewed. Typically, a single mode microwave applicator has been used to join ceramics at temperatures ranging between 1250°C - 1800°C. Microwave joining of ceramics was achieved in a matter of minutes, in contrast to hours reported by conventional methods. The strength of the joints was equal to or greater than the as-received materials. Joining of specimens of sintered silicon carbide (Hexoloy ™ ) using interlayers, and direct joining of reaction bonded silicon carbide (RBSC) to itself and Hexoloy™ has been accomplished recently. Both single mode and multimode microwave applicators were used and larger specimens of RBSC having complex shapes were joined using hybrid heating. The paper describes microwave joining apparatus, techniques and results.

In this work Sintered Silicon Carbide (S-SiC) samples have been used to fabricate fiber-optic-coupled pressure sensors. The sensor structure reproduces a low-finesse Fabry–Perot (FP) interferometer. Laser manufacturing of cylindrical S-SiC samples was performed to define the thin membrane geometry of sensors. FP cavity is defined by the end-face of a single mode fiber and the S-SiC diaphragm surface. Hence, pressure is evaluated by measuring the cavity depth by a dedicated optoelectronic system coupled to the single mode fiber. Exploiting the excellent properties of S-SiC, in terms of high hardness, low thermal expansion, and high thermal conductivity, realized devices have been characterized up to 20 MPa. Experimental results demonstrate that produced sensors exhibit a non-linearity around ±0.6%F.S. and a high input dynamics. The all-optic sensing system proposed in this work would represent a good alternative to conventional solutions based on piezoelectric effects, overcoming the drawback related to electromagnetic interference on the acquired signals. In addition, the mechanical characteristics of S-SiC allow the use of the sensor in both automotive and aerospace hostile environments as pressure monitors in combustion engines.

AbstractData rates in optical fiber networks have increased exponentially over the past decades and core-networks are expected to operate in the peta-bit-per-second regime by 2030. As current single-mode fiber-based transmission systems are reaching their capacity limits, space-division multiplexing has been investigated as a means to increase the per-fiber capacity. Of all space-division multiplexing fibers proposed to date, multi-mode fibers have the highest spatial channel density, as signals traveling in orthogonal fiber modes share the same fiber-core. By combining a high mode-count multi-mode fiber with wideband wavelength-division multiplexing, we report a peta-bit-per-second class transmission demonstration in multi-mode fibers. This was enabled by combining three key technologies: a wideband optical comb-based transmitter to generate highly spectral efficient 64-quadrature-amplitude modulated signals between 1528 nm and 1610 nm wavelength, a broadband mode-multiplexer, based on multi-plane light conversion, and a 15-mode multi-mode fiber with optimized transmission characteristics for wideband operation.

Abstract Ring resonator is an essential element in silicon integrated circuit, it is widely used as filter, wavelength multiplexer and switch in single-mode operation regime. As the rapid development of mode division multiplexing (MDM) technique, ring resonator that can process multi-mode signals simultaneously and uniformly is highly desired. However, the severe modal dispersion makes identical transmission for different modes very hard. In this paper, by breaking through the limitation of conventional multi-mode manipulation design with evanescent coupling or mode interference, we propose and demonstrate a multi-mode ring resonator (MMRR) inspired by the free space geometric optics. Arbitrary number of supporting modes can be achieved by simply widening the waveguide width. For proof-of-concept demonstration, an MMRR supporting four modes is fabricated with uniform transmittance. Furthermore, architecture of cascaded four MMRRs are also demonstrated experimentally.
