We report experimental results on the dynamics and synchronization of a 19‐broad‐area semiconductor laser array in an external cavity containing a lens array, projection optics, and a diffractive grating. All lasers are locked to single longitudinal mode. Significant improvement of the spatial profile of the entire laser array output beam has been observed. Laser coupling is investigated through the radio‐frequency (RF) spectrum and temporal correlation of coupled laser emitters. Such coupling is found to exert certain effects on the frequency locking of the laser array.
We implement experimentally a method to generate photon-number-path and polarization entangled photon pairs using "beamlike" type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC), in which the signal-idler p...

Over the last four years, a community of researchers working on Grid and High Performance Computing technologies started discussing the barriers and opportunities that grid technologies must face and exploit for the development of health-related applications. This interest lead to the first Healthgrid conference, held in Lyon, France, on January 16th–17th, 2003, with the focus of creating increased awareness about the possibilities and advantages linked to the deployment of grid technologies in health, ultimately targeting the creation of a European/international grid infrastructure for health. The topics of this conference converged with the position of the eHealth division of the European Commission, whose mandate from the Lisbon Meeting was "To develop an intelligent environment that enables ubiquitous management of citizens’ health status, and to assist health professionals in coping with some major challenges, risk management and the integration into clinical practice of advances in health knowledge." In this context "Health" involves not only clinical procedures but covers the whole range of information from molecular level (genetic and proteomic information) over cells and tissues, to the individual and finally the population level (social healthcare). Grid technology offers the opportunity to create a common working backbone for all different members of this large "health family" and will hopefully lead to an increased awareness and interoperability among disciplines. The first HealthGrid conference led to the creation of the Healthgrid association, a non-profit research association legally incorporated in France but formed from the broad community of European researchers and institutions sharing expertise in health grids. After the second Healthgrid conference, held in Clermont-Ferrand on January 29th–30th, 2004, the need for a "white paper" on the current status and prospective of health grids was raised. Over fifty experts from different areas of grid tec

We consider the problem of scheduling heterogeneous batch processor under the conditions non-identical job sizes, dynamic job arrivals and incompatible job families. The problem studied in this paper is motivated by heat-treatment operations in the pre-casting stage of steel casting manufacturing. We proposed a few heuristic algorithms with maximizing the average utilization of batch processors as scheduling objective. From the computational experiments carried out, it appears that all the proposed heuristics are yielding very close to the optimum (estimated optimum) average utilization of the batch processors. Further, we carried out a few simple sensitivity analyses. From sensitivity analysis, in general, it appears that there is an influence on the performance of the proposed heuristic algorithms when the input parameter changes. The influence observed is further verified statistically. Finally, it is observed that with respect to the scheduling objective, the choice of the best algorithm(s) do not significantly affected due to changes in the parameters considered.
We achieved the first room-temperature lasing in a InAs quantum-dot microdisk at a wavelength of 1.23 /spl mu/m by photopumping. We investigated its temperature dependence to estimate dominant factors for lasing.

This paper reports on user interface design and evaluation for a mobile, outdoor, augmented reality (AR) application. This novel system, called the battlefield augmented reality system (BARS), supports information presentation and entry for situation awareness in an urban war fighting setting. To our knowledge, this is the first time extensive use of usability engineering has been systematically applied to development of a real-world AR system. Our BARS team has applied a cost-effective progression of usability engineering activities from the very beginning of BARS development. We discuss how we first applied cycles of structured expert evaluations to BARS user interface development, employing user interface mockups representing occluded (non-visible) objects. Then we discuss how results of these evaluations informed our subsequent user-based statistical evaluations and formative evaluations, and present these evaluations and their outcomes. Finally, we discuss how and why this sequence of types of evaluation is cost-effective.
