We study the transition from incoherence to coherence in large networks of coupled phase oscillators. We present various approximations that describe the behavior of an appropriately defined order parameter past the transition and generalize recent results for the critical coupling strength. We find that, under appropriate conditions, the coupling strength at which the transition occurs is determined by the largest eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix. We show how, with an additional assumption, a mean-field approximation recently proposed is recovered from our results. We test our theory with numerical simulations and find that it describes the transition when our assumptions are satisfied. We find that our theory describes the transition well in situations in which the mean-field approximation fails. We study the finite-size effects caused by nodes with small degree and find that they cause the critical coupling strength to increase.

We report femtosecond optically excited terahertz (THz) emission from tellurium doped GaSb at room temperature. The influence of the majority and minority carrier type and concentrations on the strength of the THz emission is investigated. Strong enhancement of THz emission in GaSb is observed as a result of compensation of native acceptors by tellurium donors. Surface field acceleration and the photo-Dember effect are identified as THz emission mechanisms in GaSb and modeled in dependence of the majority and minority carrier type and concentrations in our GaSb samples. THz emission from p-type GaSb is dominated by the photo-Dember effect whereas THz emission from n-type GaSb is dominated by surface field acceleration. The doping conditions under which THz emission is maximized are identified.
The refractive index contrast in dielectric multilayer structures, optical resonators and photonic crystals is an important figure of merit, which creates a strong demand for high quality thin films with a very low re...

In the simulation of Intensity Modulation-Direct Detection WDM Systems,when the dispersion and nonlinear effects play equally important roles,the intensity fluctuation caused by cross-phase modulation may be overestimated as a result of the improper step ***,the step size in numerical simulation should be selected to suppress false XPM intensity modulation (keep it much less than signal power).According to this criterion,the step size is variable along the *** a WDM system,the step size depends on the channel *** type of transmission fiber has different step *** the split-step Fourier method,this criterion can reduce simulation time,and when the step size is bigger than 100 meters,the simulation accuracy can also be improved.

In this paper, we consider the problem of dynamically regulating the timing of traffic light controllers in busy cities. We use a Stochastic Fluid Model (SFM) to model the dynamics of the queues formed at an intersection. Based on this model, we derive gradients of the queue lengths with respect to the green/red light lengths within a signal cycle. We report preliminary numerical results comparing the performance of the estimates with finite-difference and smoothed perturbation analysis estimates. Then all estimators are used to optimize the traffic system via Stochastic Approximation.

In iterative learning control, model uncertainty issue has been studied in various ways. But, in existing works, the model uncertainty has been considered as iteration invariant, that is, it does not change on the iteration axis. Furthermore, in these works, monotone convergence problem has not been properly studied. In this paper, new monotonic convergence condition of iteration varying model uncertain iterative learning control system is derived. So, the main goal of this paper is to guarantee the monotone convergence of the iteration varying model uncertainty system until the tracking error is reduced below the previously calculated base-line error boundary. Through the numerical example, the validity of the suggested method is illustrated.
