sensing Investigating nonlinear optics phenomena Holographic techniques employing lasers also contribute to a number of measurement techniques. Laser based LIght Detection And Ranging (LIDAR) technology has application in geology‚ seismology‚ remote sensing and atmospheric physics. Lasers have been used aboard spacecraft such as in the Cassini-Huygens mission. In astronomy‚ lasers have been used to create artificial laser guide stars‚ used as reference objects for adaptive optics telescopes. Lasers

The horizons of optical networks are much more than high speed physical layer transport. An intelligent optical network design must include higher network layer considerations. This is the only book currently on the market that addresses optical networks from the physical layer to the network layer and should be valuable for those who try to understand the intricacies of what optical networks can be. —Vincent Chan‚ Professor‚ MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science This book

How to Calculate the Laplace Transform of a Function TerminologySolving the transformDiscontinuous FunctionsUsing Properties of Laplace Transforms Edited by Caidoz‚ Flickety‚ Zareen‚ Garshepp and 4 others The Laplace transform is an integral transform which allows a differential equation to be converted into a (hopefully) simpler algebraic equation‚ making it easier to solve. While you can use tables of Laplace Transforms‚ it is never a bad idea to know how to do the transform yourself.

perception. In this letter‚ we introduce the Discrete Anamorphic Stretch Transform (DAST) and its application to image compression. DAST is a physics-inspired transformation that emulates diffraction of the image through a physical medium with specific nonlinear dispersive property. By performing space-bandwidth compression‚ it reduces the data size required to represent the image for a given image quality. This diffraction-based compression is achieved through a mathematical restructuring of the image and

Positive Feedbacks in the Economy A new economic theory elucidates mechanisms whereby small chance events early in the history of an industry or technology can tilt the competitive balance by W. Brian Arthur onventional economic theory is built on the assumption of diminishing renrrns. Economic actions engender a negative feedback that leads to a predictable equilibrium for prices and market shares. Such feedback tends to stabilize the economy because any major changes will

modulation and demodulation technology is called Cellonics. In general‚ this technology will allow for modem speeds that are 1‚000 times faster than our present modems. The development is based on the way biological cells communicate with each other and nonlinear dynamical systems (NDS). Major telcos‚ which are telecommunications companies‚ will benefit from the incredible speed‚ simplicity‚ and robustness of this new technology‚ as well as individual users. In current technology‚ the ASCII uses
