In this work, we present a novel concept of structural design for the synthesis new type core/shell structure comprising γ-MnO2 cores inside hollow α-MnO2 shells. The approach involves two main steps. First, MnCO3 microellipsoids were mixed directly with KMnO4 solution, which lead to manganese oxide shell on surface MnCO3. Then, thermal annealing resulted in formation γ-MnO2/α-MnO2 ellipsoids, accompanying phase transition both core and shell. as-prepared ellipsoids used as adsorbent water...

Since rings can effectively expand pass-band spacing to make selection FBG easier, stability of SLM oscillation be improved by suitably optimizing coupling ratio optical couplers in ensure that at least one only dominates selected pass-band. When lengths are designed their...

The authors investigate the optical bistability in an L-band dual-wavelength erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser with overlapping cavities. bistable input-output hysteresis behavior of two lasing wavelengths evolves antiphase. region is tens milliwatts wide. essentially due to homogeneous saturable absorption EDF. cross-gain saturation causes bistabilities lines evolve antiphase respect each other. gain clamping effect helps widen region, which may be controlled by cavity loss and EDF length.
