Inter-channel nonlinearity equalization based on Volterra series in polarization-division-multiplexed WDM systems

We propose a joint inter-channel nonlinearity equalizer based on Volterra series for polarization-division-multiplexed (PDM) wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) transmission. The equalization effectiveness is validated through numerical simulation of 20Gbit/s PDM-16QAM Nyquist single carrier frequency division equalization (SCFDE) systems.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000342624700109&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701TelecommunicationsEICPCI-S(ISTP)

Optical Single-Sideband WDM Nyquist 32-QAM SC-FDE Transmission system with Direct Detection

125 Gbit/s optical single side band (OSSB) Square-32QAM wavelength-divisionmultiplexed direct detection over 75.1km SSMF transmission has been successfully demonstrated with a subcarrier frequency band of 2.9 GHz and a channel frequency grid of 12.5GHz. ? OSA 2014.EI

THE PROBABILISTIC STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY ASSESSMENT OF REACTOR PRESSURE VESSELS UNDER PRESSURIZED THERMAL SHOCK LOADING

The pressurized thermal shock（ PTS） event poses a potentially significant challenge to the structural integrity of the reactor pressure vessel（ RPV） during the long time operation. In most countries（ with exception of the USA）,proving RPV integrity under the PTS load is based on the deterministic fracture mechanics（ DFM）. In the USA,the "screening criteria"for maximum allowable embrittlement of RPV material,which form part of the USA regulations,are based on the probabilistic fracture mechanics（ PFM）. In this paper,the FAVOR software of Oka Ridge National Laboratory is used to compare the difference between PFM and DFM analysis of the PTS even. The analysis method of FAVOR is shown through case study of the benchmark transient in the IAEA-TECDOC-1627 report. Finally,the limit of the current FAVOR（ Version6. 1） is shown
