Time-dependent Hartree-Fock and Møller-Plesset second-order calculations have been used to unravel the relationships between structure and first hyperpolarizability in spiropyran/merocyanine couples and therefore to design efficient second-order nonlinear optical switching compounds. Large first hyperpolarizabilities for the merocyanine form as well as large contrasts of first hyperpolarizability have been obtained when, on the same species, (i) substituents at R(1) and R(2) positions on the phenolate ring of the merocyanine form are strong acceptor and donor substituents, respectively, (ii) the ethylenic bridge is substituted by donor groups, (iii) the other aromatic part of the system is benzimidazolo rather than indolino or benzothiazolo, and (iv) strong donor substituents are placed on the benzimidazolo moiety.

Dry matter intake (DMI) determination is essential for effective management of meat goats, especially in optimizing feed utilization and production efficiency. Unfortunately, farmers often face challenges in accurately predicting DMI which leads to wastage of feed and an increase in the cost of production. This investigation aimed to predict DMI in Black Bengal goats by using body weight (BW), body condition score (BCS), average daily gain (ADG), and metabolic body weight (MBW) by applying an artificial neural network (ANN) model.

In the specific directly-modulated laser with direct detection (DML-DD) link, the interaction between the chirp of DML and chromatic dispersion (CD) can be modeled as composite second-order (CSO) distortion. By incorporating the CSO model into the nonlinear equalizer, it is possible to better extract the feature of the end-to-end channel, achieving superior performance with lower complexity.

To reduce overhead and simplify operations, we had previously developed a method to deliver ultra-short pulses through fiber-optic links to multiple locations and to characterize them remotely using a compact detector module. We created a pulse pair with varying delays at the central location using a pulse shaper before launching them into the fiber links and measured the first and second-order autocorrelations at the satellite location.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFWe theoretically study how the magnetic field direction controls both the transmission rate and the group delay of the signal, as well as the second-order sideband process in a hybrid cavity-magnon optomechanical system. By tuning the direction of the bias magnetic field, either a positive or negative magnon Kerr coefficient can be achieved, leading to a corresponding shift in the magnon frequency. As a result, the transmission rate can be significantly modified, resulting in a Fano-like transparency spectrum governed by the magnetic field direction, along with a slow-to-fast light switch also influenced by that direction.

Background: High-resolution brain imaging is crucial in clinical diagnosis and neuroscience, with ultra-high field strength MRI systems ( ) offering significant advantages for imaging neuronal microstructures. However, achieving magnetic field homogeneity is challenging due to engineering faults during the installation of superconducting strip windings and the primary magnet.
Purpose: This study aims to design and optimize active superconducting shim coils for a 7 T animal MRI system, focusing on the impact of safety margin, size, and adjustability of the second-order shim coils on the MRI system's optimization.
