An interlaboratory measurement round-robin was conducted by the University of Colorado and three industrial members of the Electronic Industries Association. A computational definition of mode transition matrices (MTM's) is presented, and its relationship to the basic theory of power propagation in multimode fibers is detailed. Measured data from the round-robin were used to calculate MTM's for the test components, which included four connectors, two sections of fiber cable, two power splitters, and two short fiber segments. The diagonal elements of the (2 x 2) MTM's determined from the near-field data were found to have a laboratory-to-laboratory standard deviation of approximately 10% of the average value. The off-diagonal elements were found to have a standard deviation approaching their mean value. The inherent launch dependence of MTM's is investigated as a source of the observed variation. Other sources of uncertainty such as errors in determining the core radius are also considered. Finally the implications of these results for the problem of characterizing components' intensive multimode fiber systems are discussed.

Electric poling at field intensities approaching the dielectric strength of the film is possible with corona poling. Polymeric thin films with large second-order nonlinearities can be created with this poling technique. In this paper, the corona poling of nonlinear polymeric films at elevated temperatures, processing, characterization and possible ultrashort-pulse applications are reviewed. An experimental technique is presented to measure the electric field during poling of the nonlinear polymeric film. The characterization of orientational order in corona-poled nonlinear polymeric films and the effects associated with the large electric field during poling are discussed. Poled polymeric thin films are uniquely suited for second-order nonlinear optical applications of ultrashort pulses (< 50 fsec) since minimal pulse spreading occurs. The sum-frequency ultrashort-pulse application of nonlinear polymeric thin films and limitations of the thin polymeric films are discussed. Experimental results are presented of a side-chain nonlinear polymer that is ideally suited for ultrashort-pulse applications.

Investigations on the junctions made between Pb and polycrystalline Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x (BSCCO) are reported. The BSCCO surfaces were treated with number of methods including mechanically scraping, plasma sputtering, plasma oxidation, and Br etch before junctions were fabricated. The current-voltage characteristics and dynamic resistance (dV/dI) vs voltage have been measured at both 77K and 4.2K. We observed, among other features, a Pb gap structure similar to that seen in Pb/YBa2Cu3O7-delta junctions, a magnetic dependent supercurrent, an asymmetric I-V curve, and narrow resistance peaks. Properties of junctions prepared in different manners are compared. Both XPS and electrical studies indicated that Br etch is not suitable for the BiSrCaCuO system in spite of its successful application in YBa2Cu3O7-delta.
