We present a detailed overview of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in single-mode
optical fibers. The review is divided into two parts. In the first part, we discuss the …

The electrostrictive properties of a polyether-based polyurethane elastomer and its
corresponding composites filled with conductive carbon black (CB) were studied by …

Abstract Poly (vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) receives an increasing amount of attention
because it exhibits the strongest piezoelectric response of any commercially available …

Stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) is the major factor that limits the maximum optical fiber
output power in narrow linewidth applications, which include important fields such as …

This article describes some of our work on 0.65 Pb (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3) O 3-0.35 PbTiO 3 (0.65
PMN-0.35 PT) thick films printed on alumina substrates. These thick films, with the nominal …

The electromechanical behavior of 0.65 Pb (Mg 1/3 Nb 2/3) O 3–0.35 PbTiO 3 (0.65 PMN-
0.35 PT) thick films, screen printed and fired on alumina substrates, was investigated using …

Micro-and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS) have long shown their potential
to disrupt the established technologies. Over the past 15 years, MEMS have become …

Depuis quelques années on s' intéresse aux actionneurs base polymères, souvent appelés
polymères électroactifs électroniques (EAPS) pour intégrer dans des microsystèmes …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides the information necessary to understand the
capabilities and limitations of existing electrically operated microactuators so that a …

This thesis is devoted to the study or spectral-purity transfer through optical injection when
the coherency of the seeded light is varied. The main idea is to spread this strong coherency …
