AbstractIn this paper, the dispersion characteristics of two standard single-mode optical fibers (SMFs), fabricated with silica and poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) are studied in telecommunication spectral regions. The effect of structural parameters, such as the radius of the fiber core and the relative core-cladding index difference, is numerically investigated. It is found that over whole spectral range, the PMMA-based SMF shows lower dispersion than the silica SMF. Also, the zero-dispersion wavelength (ZDW) of PMMA-based SMF is longer than that of silica fiber. The results may be of practical importance for the telecommunication applications.

AbstractIn this article small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) is used to characterize the structural parameters of semi-crystalline blends of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) and poly(methyl methacrylate). Different blend compositions from 100 to 50 wt.-% of PVDF were investigated. The samples were considered to be isotropic. As two-dimensional SAXS patterns with cylindrical symmetry were examined, a single direction in the SAXS pattern plane was chosen to collect and plot absolute intensities versus the scattering vector. Using the one-dimensional (linear) electron density correlation and interface distribution functions obtained, respectively, from the Fourier-transformed Lorentz-corrected experimental scattering intensity and from the interference function, structural parameters such as the minimal value and the most probable value of the long period, the average lamellar thickness, and the volume crystallinity were determined.
