Author Bio
Dr. Barclay M. Newman was Chair and Chief Translator of the Contemporary English Version (CEV) of the Bible, first published in 1995 by the American Bible Society, then in 2006 by G.P. Putnams Sons (Penguin Books) as Seek Find: The Bible for All People. He was a member of the Old Testament Committee for the Good News Bible (Todays English Version) published in 1976 by the American Bible Society (ABS), and he chaired the revision that was published by the ABS in 1992 as the Good News Translation.
Editorial Reviews
"The first edition (1971) of this concise Greek-English dictionary of the NT was described in NTA 16, p. 234. In the main part the new edition of the Greek-English lexicon features reviewed and revised definitions of each word, a more systematic approach to cross-referencing, indications of words used only once in the Greek NT, the use of small upright lines to signal compound words, and the inclusion of Greek words not found in the NT in conjunction with the definition of an entry. Also included are maps and a fourteen-page appendix that provides a sampling of some Greek NT words that share similar meanings."

Misconduct comes at taxpayer expense
It looks like the sexual harassment lawsuit against the Kentucky Legislative Research Council has been settled out of court. Neither side is talking and little more will be known as the depositions have been sealed. All it took was our tax money. That's right folks, our tax money.
HEELS TOGETHER. A new program was established to provide local women and girls more opportunities for continuing education, business start-up, financial literacy and mentoring. This is an effort by women to support and improve opportunities for other deserving women in our community.
ISSUE: Progress of Basketball Hall of Fame
OUR VIEW: Organization makes major step forward
When the Kentucky Association of Basketball Coaches mailed initial letters to communities about a proposed hall of fame, most went unanswered.

Beautiful Michigan Day. Spoiled by Golf
Eight of us met at Macatawa Legends for Senior Day. Great deal - golf and lunch for $35. Such a beautiful day. Golf not so beautiful. Still had fun. Something about Boots?

... of wine, boat ride on beautiful Hutchins Lake, good friends. Then, 11 of us gathered at The Butler in Saugatuck for dinner. We laughed, had such a good time, even though we have only been gone 3 weeks. We really are blessed to have such great friends. Went back to Schmidts, cracked open the bottle of Woodford Reserve, had shots with bourbon balls. WOW!
On a Mission
On November 11, 2014, we will be leaving Holland, MI and going to Bluefields, Nicaragua to stay for 7 weeks with our friends, RCA missionaries Adrian and Bernardeth Kelly-Bobb.

Read Whole Story
Admittedly grim, the film is compelling because documentarian Tom Roberts, a sophisticated craftsman, plays the story for suspense: Will the medical personnel striving to stamp out polio succeed in the face of the Taliban's murderous opposition?
One month ago, I was nervously holding my 2-month-old daughter in my lap at our pediatrician's office in New York City, waiting for her to get her first series of vaccinations. What would have appeared to be a routine visit was, in fact, a huge moment in my life.
Now, during World Immunization Week, as we celebrate the exceptional commitment of mothers worldwide to protect their children, let us also view this as a rallying call. With 1.5 million deaths each year from vaccine-preventable diseases, there is still much work to be done.
The early bird gets the worm. Slow and steady wins the race. For those of us who are parents, these may be familiar sayings that we tell our children to either get them moving, or instead have them slow down.
For those of us who were spared by fate and vaccine, Philip Roth's Nemesis charts polio's course and brings to mind the friends and neighbors who suffered the withering and the life-long incarceration of limbs.
We have already come a long way in reducing the total number of polio cases globally, and it is just a matter of time before polio is a disease of the past.
Sixty years ago, Jonas Salk's inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) gave new hope to parents in the U.S. that they could protect their children from what was, at the time, one of the most terrifying diseases facing Americans.
Human nature is human nature, and people with firm beliefs will push back defensively if they feel threatened. The heavy-handed approach often doesn't work.
In the wake of recent measles outbreaks, pollsters have noticed a trend: Younger Americans are considerably less convinced of vaccines' safety, less l...
Even for Pakistan-watchers who privilige nuance over sensation, the question of why our country continues to grapple with a disease that has been preventable for over half a century, certainly begs an answer.
By Alex Whiting LONDON, Feb 19 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - It is a little known disease but it could make medical history if scient...
February 11 marked six months since the onset of the last confirmed case of wild poliovirus on the African continent. That is longer than at any time in recorded history. There is now a chance that we are on the verge of a historic achievement in global health: an Africa free of wild poliovirus.
Vaccines only work if we maintain our determination to provide their benefits to our children. When it comes to preventable disease, misinformation can be as deadly, if not more so than the disease itself, both here and abroad.
We are already midway through the first month of the 2015 -- and more importantly, midway through the Decade of Vaccines. With much to accomplish, I compiled a quick list of the 10 advances in global health and vaccinations I would like to see in 2015.
Warning: Denver talk-radio host Ken Clark tells me the following blog post is a "hit piece consisting of lies and deceit in order to continue to manip...

If we would get the Ebola vaccine that exists somewhere in the future, then we need to examine our reasons for not utilizing the vaccines that exist right now.
Amid a calendar jammed with scores of so-called awareness days, World Polio Day -- observed on October 24 -- is among the most significant and important of this year.
ll the calls for more international action are most welcome. But we cannot forget that ultimately it is not the CDC or experimental drug companies that will overcome the disease. It will be Africans who will win this war on the ground.
Ignorance, false claims to expertise and scientific illiteracy are threatening our children's health.

User Reviews
This is a great jacket from Jupa, my son loves it. It is not heavy, but it is really warm.
My son really likes the thumb hold in the sleeve of this Jupa ski jacket. It is long enough, but the arm length seems a little short. It is a good quality warm jacket for Wisconsin ice fishing.
My son loves this Jupa ski jacket, he wears it all the time and says it keeps him warm, and it is only going to get colder. I am impressed with the build quality!

Optical Amplification Source: Master 7_5 Optical Amplifiers An optical amplifier is a device which amplifies the optical signal directly without ever changing it to electricity. The light itself is amplified. Reasons to use the optical amplifiers: Reliability Flexibility Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) Low Cost Variety of optical amplifier types exists, including: Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOAs) Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifiers (EDFAs) (most common) Traditional Optical Communication System Loss compensation: Repeaters at every 20-50 km Optically Amplified Systems EDFA = Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifier Optical Amplification Variety of optical amplifier types exist, including: Semiconductor optical amplifiers Optical fibre amplifiers (Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifiers) Distributed fibre amplifiers (Raman Amplifiers) Optical fibre amplifiers are now the most common type One of the most successful optical processing functions Also used as a building block in DWDM systems Source: Master 7_5 Overview Erbium doped fibre amplifiers Amplifier applications Issues: Gain flattening and Noise Raman amplification Basic EDF Amplifier Design • Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) most common – Commercially available since the early 1990's – Works best in the range 1530 to 1565 nm – Gain up to 30 dB (1000 photons out per photon in!) • Optically transparent – "Unlimited" RF bandwidth Input Coupler Isolator – Wavelength transparent 1480 or 980 nm Pump Laser Output Erbium Doped Fiber Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifier A pump optical signal is added to an input signal by a WDM coupler Within a length of doped fibre part of the pump energy is transferred to the input signal by stimulated emission For operation circa 1550 nm the fibre dopant is Erbium Pump wavelength is 980 nm or 1480 nm, pump power circa 50 mW Gains of 30-40 dB possible Isolator Isolator Input WDM Output Erbium Doped Fibre Pump Source = Fusion Splice Source: Master 7_5 Interior of an Erbium Doped Fibre Amplfier (EDFA) Pump laser WDM Fibre coupler Erbium doped fibre loop Fibre input/output Source: Master 7_5 Operation of an EDFA Power level Power level Power interchange between pump and 980 nm 1550 nm data signals 980 nm 1550 nm signal data signal signal data signal Isolator Isolator Input Output WDM Erbium Doped Fibre = Fusion Splice Pump Source Physics of an EDFA Erbium Properties • Erbium: rare element with phosphorescent properties – Photons at 1480 or 980 nm activate electrons into a metastable state – Electrons falling back emit light in the 1550 nm range 540 • Spontaneous emission 670 – Occurs randomly (time constant ~1 ms) 820 • Stimulated emission 980 – By electromagnetic wave Metastable 1480 – Emitted wavelength & phase are state identical to incident one Ground state Erbium Doped Fibre Amplifiers Consists of a short (typically ten metres or so) section of fibre which has a small controlled amount of the rare earth element erbium added to the glass in the form of an ion (Er3+). The principle involved is the principle of a laser. When an erbium ion is in a high-energy state, a photon of light will stimulate it to give up some of its energy (also in the form of light) and return to a lower-energy (more stable) state ("stimulated emission"). The laser diode in the diagram generates a high-powered (between 10 and 200mW) beam of light at a wavelength such that the erbium ions will absorb it and jump to their excited state. (Light at either 980 or 1,480 nm wavelengths.) Er+3 Energy Levels • Pump: 980 or 1480 nm Pump power >5 mW • Emission: 1.52-1.57 m Long living upper state (10 ms) Gain 30 dB EDFA Operation 1. A (relatively) high-powered beam of light is mixed with the input signal using a wavelength selective coupler. 2. The mixed light is guided into a section of fibre with erbium ions included in the core. 3. This high-powered light beam excites the erbium ions to their higher-energy state. 4. When the photons belonging to the signal (at a different wavelength from the pump light) meet the excited erbium atoms, the erbium atoms give up some of their energy to the signal and return to their lower-energy state. 5. A significant point is that the erbium gives up its energy in the form of additional photons which are exactly in the same phase and direction as the signal being amplified. 6. There is usually an isolator placed at the output to prevent reflections returning from the attached fibre. Such reflections disrupt amplifier operation and in the extreme case can cause the amplifier to become a laser! Technical Characteristics of EDFA EDFAs have a number of attractive technical characteristics: Efficient pumping Minimal polarisation sensitivity Low insertion loss High output power (this is not gain but raw amount of possible output power) Low noise Very high sensitivity Low distortion and minimal interchannel crosstalk Amplified Spontaneous Emission • Erbium randomly emits photons between 1520 and 1570 nm – Spontaneous emission (SE) is not polarized or coherent – Like any photon, SE stimulates emission of other photons – With no input signal, eventually all optical energy is consumed into amplified spontaneous emission – Input signal(s) consume metastable electrons much less ASE Random spontaneous emission (SE) Amplified Amplification along fiber spontaneous emission (ASE) EDFA Behaviour at Gain Saturation There are two main differences between the behaviour of electronic amplifiers and of EDFAs in gain saturation: 1) As input power is increased on the EDFA the total gain of the amplifier increases slowly. An electronic amplifier operates relatively linearly until its gain saturates and then it just produces all it can. This means that an electronic amplifier operated near saturation introduces significant distortions into the signal (it just clips the peaks off). 2) An erbium amplifier at saturation simply applies less gain to all of its input regardless of the instantaneous signal level. Thus it does not distort the signal. There is little or no crosstalk between WDM channels even in saturation. Saturation in EDFAs Total output power: Amplified signal + Noise (Amplified Spontaneous Emission ASE) Total Pout Max -3 dB Gain - 30 -20 - 10 P in (dBm) EDFA is in saturation if almost all Erbium ions are consumed for amplification Total output power remains almost constant, regardless of input power changes Gain Compression • Total output power: Amplified signal + ASE – EDFA is in saturation if almost all Erbium ions are consumed for Total P out amplification Max – Total output power remains almost -3 dB constant – Lowest noise figure Gain • Preferred operating point – Power levels in link stabilize -30 -20 -10 automatically P in (dBm) Amplifier Length • As the signal travels along the length of the amplifier it becomes stronger due to amplification. • As the pump power travels through the amplifier its level decreases due to absorption. • Thus, both the signal power level and the pump power level vary along the length of the amplifier. At any point we can have only a finite number of erbium ions and therefore we can only achieve a finite gain (and a finite maximum power) per unit length of the amplifier. • In an amplifier designed for single wavelength operation the optimal amplifier length is a function of the signal power, the pump power, the erbium concentration and the amount of gain required. • In an amplifier designed for multiwavelength operation there is another consideration - the flatness of the gain curve over the range of amplified wavelengths. With a careful design and optimisation of the amplifier's length we can produce a nearly flat amplifier gain curve. Optical Gain (G) • G = S Output / S Input S Output: output signal (without noise from amplifier) S Input: input signal Gain (dB) 40 • Input signal dependent 30 P Input: -30 dBm -20 dBm – Operating point (saturation) of EDFA strongly depends on -10 dBm power and wavelength of 20 -5 dBm incoming signal 10 1520 1540 1560 1580 Wavelength (nm) EDFA Applications & Selection/Applications Source: Master 7_5 OFAs in the Network Several attractive features for network use: Relatively simple construction Reliable, due to the number of passive components Allows easy connection to external fibres Broadband operation > 20 nm Bit rate transparent Ideally suited to long span systems Integral part of DWDM systems Undersea applications for OFAs are now common Source: Master 7_5 Optical Amplifier Applications Fibre Link In-line Optical Transmitter Receiver Amplifier Optical Amplifiers Fibre Link Power Optical Transmitter Receiver Amplifier Optical Amplifier Optical Preamplifier Transmitter Receiver Fibre Link Optical Amplifier Source: Master 7_5 Amplifier Applications Preamplifiers An optical preamplifier is placed immediately before a receiver to improve its sensitivity. Since the input signal level is usually very low a low noise characteristic is essential. However, only a moderate gain figure is needed since the signal is being fed directly into a receiver. Typically a preamplifier will not have feedback control as it can be run well below saturation. Power amplifiers Most DFB lasers have an output of only around 2 mW but a fibre can aggregate power levels of up to 100 to 200 mW before nonlinear effects start to occur. A power amplifier may be employed to boost the signal immediately following the transmitter. Typical EDFA power amplifiers have an output of around 100 mW. Line amplifiers In this application the amplifier replaces a repeater within a long communication line. In many situations there will be multiple amplifiers sited at way-points along a long link. Both high gain at the input and high power output are needed while maintaining a very low noise figure. This is really a preamplifier cascaded with a power amplifier. Sophisticated line amplifiers today tend to be made just this way - as a multi-section amplifier separated by an isolator. EDFA Categories • In-line amplifiers – Installed every 30 to 70 km along a link – Good noise figure, medium output power • Power boosters – Up to +17 dBm power, amplifies transmitter output – Also used in cable TV systems before a star coupler • Pre-amplifiers – Low noise amplifier in front of receiver • Remotely pumped – Electronic free extending links up to 200 km and more (often found in submarine applications) TX RX Pump Pump Example: Conventional EDFA Best used for single channel systems in the 1550 nm region, Systems are designed for use as boosters, in-line amplifiers or preamplifiers. Bandwidth is not wide enough for DWDM, special EDFA needed Source: Master 7_5 Gain Flattened EDFA for DWDM Gain flatness is now within 1 dB from 1530-1560 nm ITU-T DWDM C band is 1530 to 1567 nm Source: Master 7_5 Selecting Amplifiers Maximum Output Type Gain Noise figure power Power High gain High output power Not very important Amplifier Medium output In-line Medium gain Good noise figure power Low value < 5 dB Preamplifier Low gain Low output power essential Pumping Directions Additional pumping options Multistage EDFAs Two-Stage EDFA Line Amplifier with Shared Pump. Pump power would typically be split in a ratio different from 50:50. Some new EDFA designs concatenate two or even three amplifier stages. An amplifier "stage" is considered to consist of any unbroken section of erbium doped fibre. Multistage amplifiers are built for a number of reasons: 1. To increase the power output whilst retaining low noise 2. To flatten the total amplifier gain response 3. To reduce amplified stimulated emission noise Commercial Designs EDF EDF Input Output Isolator Isolator Pump Lasers Telemetry & Input Remote Control Output Monitor Monitor Security/Safety Features • Input power monitor – Turning on the input signal can cause high output power spikes that can damage the amplifier or following systems – Control electronics turn the pump laser(s) down if the input signal stays below a given threshold for more than about 2 to 20 µs • Backreflection monitor – Open connector at the output can be a laser safety hazard – Straight connectors typically reflect 4% of the light back – Backreflection monitor shuts the amplifier down if backreflected light exceeds certain limits Spectral Response of EDFAs & Gain Flattening Source: Master 7_5 Output Spectra +10 dBm Amplified signal spectrum (input signal saturates the optical amplifier) ASE spectrum when no input signal is present -40 dBm 1575 nm 1525 nm EDFA Gain Spectrum Erbium can provide about 40-50 nm of bandwidth, from 1520 to 1570 nm Gain spectrum depends on the glass used, eg. silica or zblan glass Gain spectrum is not flat, significant gain variations 30 EDFA gain spectrum Gain 20 (dB) 10 0 1520 1530 1540 1550 1560 Wavelength (nm) Source: Master 7_5 Gain Characteristics of EDFA Gain (amplifier) - is the ratio in decibels of input power to output power. Gain at 1560 nm is some 3 dB higher than gain at 1540 nm (this is twice as much). In most applications (if there is only a single channel or if there are only a few amplifiers in the circuit) this is not too much of a limitation. WDM systems use many wavelengths within the amplified band. If we have a very long WDM link with many amplifiers the difference in response in various channels adds up. Flattening of the Gain Curve Techniques 1. Operating the device at 77° K. This produces a much better (flatter) gain curve but it's not all that practical. 2. Introducing other dopant materials (such as aluminium or ytterbium) along with the erbium into the fibre core. 3. Amplifier length is another factor influencing the flatness of the gain curve. 4. Controlling the pump power (through a feedback loop) is routine to reduce amplified spontaneous emission. 5. Adding an extra WDM channel locally at the amplifier ("gain clamping"). 6. Manipulating the shape of the fibre waveguide within the amplifier. At the systems level there are other things that can be done to compensate: 1. Using "blazed" fibre Bragg gratings as filters to reduce the peaks in the response curve. 2. To transmit different WDM channels at different power levels to compensate for later amplifier gain characteristics. Gain Flattening Concept Gain Flattening Filters (Equalizers) Used to reduce variation in amplifier gain with wavelength, used in DWDM systems The gain equalisation is realised by inserting tapered long period gratings within the erbium doped fibre. Designed to have approximately the opposite spectral response to that of an EDFA Inline Dicon gain flattening filter spectral response Inline Dicon gain flattening filter Source: Master 7_5 Spectral Hole Burning (SHB) • Gain depression around saturating signal – Strong signals reduce average ion population – Hole width 3 to 10 nm – Hole depth 0.1 to 0.4 dB – 1530 nm region more sensitive to SHB than 1550 nm region 0.36 dB • Implications – Usually not an issue in transmission systems (single l or DWDM) 7 nm – Can affect accuracy of some lightwave measurements 1540 1545 1550 1560 Wavelength (nm) Polarization Hole Burning (PHB) • Polarization Dependent Gain (PDG) – Gain of small signal polarized orthogonal to saturating signal 0.05 to 0.3 dB greater than the large signal gain – Effect independent of the state of polarization of the large signal – PDG recovery time constant relatively slow • ASE power accumulation – ASE power is minimally polarized – ASE perpendicular to signal experiences higher gain – PHB effects can be reduced effectively by quickly scrambling the state of polarization (SOP) of the input signal Noise in EDFAs Source: Master 7_5 Optical Amplifier Chains Optical amplifiers allow one to extend link distance between a transmitter and Fibre Link receiver Amplifier can compensate for attenuation Cannot compensate for dispersion (and crosstalk in DWDM systems) Amplifiers also introduce noise, as each amplifier reduces the Optical SNR by a small amount (noise figure) Optical Transmitter Receiver 1 2 N Optical Amplifiers Fibre Section Source: Master 7_5 Amplifiers Chains and Signal Level Sample system uses 0.25 atten fibre,Fibrekm fibre sections, 19 dB amplifiers 80 Link with a noise figure of 5 dB 10 0 Signal level (dBm) -10 -20 -30 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 Location (km ) Each amplifier restores the signal level to a value almost equivalent to the level at the start of the section - in principle reach is extended to 700 km + Source: Master 7_5 Amplifiers Chains and Optical SNR Fibre Link Same sample system: Transmitter SNR is 50 dB, amplifier noise figure of 5 dB, 60 50 Optical SNR (dB) 40 30 20 10 0 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 Location (km) Optical SNR drops with distance, so that if we take 30 dB as a reasonable limit, the max distance between T/X and R/X is only 300 km Source: Master 7_5 Noise Figure (NF) • NF = P ASE / (h• • G • B OSA) P ASE: ASE power measured by OSA h: Plank's constant : Optical frequency G: Gain of EDFA Noise Figure (dB) B OSA: Optical bandwidth [Hz] 10 of OSA 7.5 • Input signal dependent 5.0 – In a saturated EDFA, the NF depends mostly on the wavelength of the signal 1520 1540 1560 1580 – Physical limit: 3.0 dB Wavelength (nm) Raman Amplification Source: Master 7_5 Raman Amplifiers Raman Fibre Amplifiers (RFAs) rely on an intrinsic non- linearity in silica fibre Variable wavelength amplification: Depends on pump wavelength For example pumping at 1500 nm produces gain at about 1560-1570 nm RFAs can be used as a standalone amplifier or as a distributed amplifier in conjunction with an EDFA Source: Master 7_5 Raman Effect Amplifiers Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) causes a new signal (a Stokes wave) to be generated in the same direction as the pump wave down-shifted in frequency by 13.2 THz (due to molecular vibrations) provided that the pump signal is of sufficient strength. In addition SRS causes the amplification of a signal if it's lower in frequency than the pump. Optimal amplification occurs when the difference in wavelengths is around 13.2 THz. The signal to be amplified must be lower in frequency (longer in wavelength) than the pump. It is easy to build a Raman amplifier, but there is a big problem: we just can't build very high power (around half a watt or more) pump lasers at any wavelength we desire! Laser wavelengths are very specific and high power lasers are quite hard to build. Distributed Raman Amplification (I) Raman pumping takes place backwards over the fibre Gain is a maximum close to the receiver and decreases in the transmitter direction Long Fibre Span Optical Transmitter EDFA Receiver Raman Pump Laser Source: Master 7_5 Distributed Raman Amplification (II) With only an EDFA at the transmit end the optical power level decreases over the fibre length With an EDFA and Raman the minimum optical power level occurs toward the middle, not the end, of the fibre. EDFA + Optical Power Raman EDFA only Distance Source: Master 7_5 Animation Broadband Amplification using Raman Amplifiers Raman amplification can provides very broadband amplification Multiple high-power "pump" lasers are used to produce very high gain over a range of wavelengths. 93 nm bandwidth has been demonstrated with just two pumps sources 400 nm bandwidth possible? Source: Master 7_5 Advantages and Disadvantages of Raman Amplification Advantages Variable wavelength amplification possible Compatible with installed SM fibre Can be used to "extend" EDFAs Can result in a lower average power over a span, good for lower crosstalk Very broadband operation may be possible Disadvantages High pump power requirements, high pump power lasers have only recently arrived Sophisticated gain control needed Noise is also an issue Source: Master 7_5 Semiconductor Optical/Laser Amplifiers (SOAs/SLAs) There are two varieties: Simple SOA are almost the same as regular index-guided FP lasers. The back facet is pigtailed to allow the input of signal light. The main problem is that it has been difficult to make SOAs longer than about 450 m. In this short distance there is not sufficient gain available on a single pass through the device for useful amplification to be obtained. One solution to this is to retain the reflective facets (mirrors) characteristic of laser operation. Typical SOAs have a mirror reflectivity of around 30%. Thus the signal has a chance to reflect a few times within the cavity and obtain useful amplification. Travelling wave SLA (TWSLA) Travelling Wave SLAs (TWSLAs) The TWSLA is different from the SOA in a number of ways: 1. The cavity is lengthened (doubled or tripled) to allow enough room for sufficient gain (since the amplifier uses a single pass through the device and doesn't resonate like a laser). Devices with cavities as long as 2 mm are available. 2. The back facet is anti-reflection coated and pigtailed to provide entry for the input light. 3. The exit facet of the amplifier is just the same as for a laser except that it is also anti-reflection coated. 4. Because of the absence of feedback the TWSLA can be operated above the lasing threshold giving higher gain per unit of length than the simple SOA (Gains of up to 25 dB over a bandwidth range of 40 nm). Limitations/Advantages/Applications SOAs have severe limitations: •Insufficient power (only a few mW). This is usually sufficient for single channel operation but in a WDM system you usually want up to a few mW per channel. •Coupling the input fibre into the chip tends to be very lossy. The amplifier must have additional gain to overcome the loss on the input facet. •SOAs tend to be noisy. •They are highly polarisation sensitive. •They can produce severe crosstalk when multiple optical channels are amplified. This latter characteristic makes them unusable as amplifiers in WDM systems but gives them the ability to act as wavelength changers and as simple logic gates in optical network systems. A major advantage of SOAs is that they can be integrated with other components on a single planar substrate. For example, a WDM transmitter device may be constructed including perhaps 10 lasers and a coupler all on the same substrate. In this case an SOA could be integrated into the output to overcome some of the coupling losses. Other Amplifier Types • Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (SOA) – Basically a laser chip without any mirrors – Metastable state has nanoseconds lifetime (-> nonlinearity and crosstalk problems) – Potential for switches and wavelength converters • Praseodymium-doped Fiber Amplifier (PDFA) – Similar to EDFAs but 1310 nm optical window – Deployed in CATV (limited situations) – Not cost efficient for 1310 telecomm applications – Fluoride based fiber needed (water soluble) – Much less efficient (1 W pump @ 1017 nm for 50 mW output) Small Footprint Amplifiers and 1300 nm Amplifiers Source: Master 7_5 Miniature Optical Fibre Amp Erbium doped aluminium oxide spiral waveguide 1 mm square waveguide Pumped at 1480 nm Low pump power of 10 mW Gain only 2.3 dB at present 20 dB gain possible With the permission of the FOM Institute Amsterdam and the University of Holland at Delft Source: Master 7_5 A 1310 nm Band Raman Amplifier Operation is as follows: 1. Signal light and pump light enter the device together through a wavelength selective coupler. 2. The pump light at 1064 nm is shifted to 1117 nm and then in stages to 1240 nm. 3. The 1240 nm light then pumps the 1310 band signal by the SRS and amplification is obtained. To gain efficiency a narrow core size is used to increase the intensity of the light. Also, a high level of Ge dopant is used (around 20%) to increase the SRS effect. This is a very effective, low noise process with good gain at small signal levels. Future Developments • Broadened gain spectrum – 2 EDFs with different co-dopants (phosphor, aluminum) – Can cover 1525 to 1610 nm • Gain flattening – Erbium Fluoride designs (flatter gain profile) – Incorporation of Fiber Bragg Gratings (passive compensation) • Increased complexity – Active add/drop, monitoring and other functions

True, as long as the road is clean, decent tires, as long as the rider has some ability, the bike WILL easily make it. The rider chooses NOT to make it, by actual choice, or by brain fart, or by panic/freeze mode on the grips. Probably expains a lot of those left laners on the Dragon, same for the ones photographed off into the trees.
I'm glad you mentioned the road being clean and decent tires. I've had a front knobby let go on the pavement, and I didn't feel like I was even pushing it that hard. I was able to save it, but I can definitely see how a bike possibly wouldn't make a turn if traction let go or hard parts dragged.

Just Say No!
I checked in on Friday and the first room was just filthy - despite the bed being made and everything appearing to be in place: there were pubic hairs on the floor of the bathroom area; the coffee pot burner was rusted out; the surface areas were
not clean (including what appeared to be ashes in the non-smoking room); the bathroom sink drained very slowly; and, tiles were coming up off the floor in the bathroom. Upon returning late on Saturday night, the lock to the room did not work; no maintenance person could be located immediately so I was put in another room (also dirty - but not as bad as the first room). When I finally got into the original room after midnight to transfer my belongings to the other room, I noticed that - despite the housekeeper was walking by and waving as I left in the morning and not leaving anything saying that the room should not be cleaned - no cleaning was done. I don't know, maybe the housekeeping staff could not get into the room. Sunday night, when I arrived back at the room, the toilet was leaking. Luckily, there was someone available to check it and the issue was easily resolved; but, it was obviously left in that condition by the maintenance person. I have had good experiences at La Quinta hotels in San Antonio, South Padre Island and other Texas cities. But this one? Just remember there is a reason for the the poor ratings and the attractive price.
Would recommend
we had a great time
Everyone was curteous, efficient and helpful. Clean, easy to find, breakfast was sufficient
not close to AMA airport which we expected since part of the name says LaQuinta East - Airport
Great for passing through town
This hotel was great for the price. A friend met me for breakfast the morning of my departure, and the hotel staff told her to eat free. Very friendly, courteous staff.
Hotel staff can tell you about a canyon several miles down I-40 East.

3 share lead at rainy Wyndham
GREENSBORO, N.C. With thunder booming, Chez Reavie rushed to hit the 15-foot putt that would have left him alone atop the Wyndham Championship leaderboard.
Once he missed, he had more than enough time to think about his gimme.
After a long weather delay, Reavie returned to the green and tapped in a 1-footer to close out a 64. He wound up sharing the early lead with former champion Brandt Snedeker and Ryan Moore on Thursday during a suspended first round of the PGA Tour's final event before the playoffs.
"I could have just made the first putt and left," Reavie said.
Justin Rose, Kevin Streelman and Colt Knost were one stroke back at 65, with Chris Riley also at 5 under through 14 holes. U.S. President's Cup captain Fred Couples and John Daly were among the eight who shot 66. Steve Elkington joined them at 4 under through 14 holes and Bill Haas was at 4 under through 10.
Play was suspended for roughly four hours amid early afternoon rumbles of thunder and the more than an inch of rain that was dumped on the area surrounding the Donald Ross-designed course at Sedgefield Country Club.
Things didn't clear up until late afternoon, play resumed around 4:30 p.m. and 78 players were left on the course when things were halted shortly before 8 p.m. due to darkness. It was scheduled to resume at 7:45 a.m. Friday.
"When you lose time Thursday, it's very difficult to catch up," said Mark Russell, the tour's vice president of rules and competition. "It's going to be an all-day affair."
Once the rains stopped, Reavie came back to the green at No. 9 and polished off his opening round by tapping in his short putt for par. The former Arizona State player took a strong first step toward thrusting himself into the playoff field. He entered at No. 177 on the points list, 159 behind No. 125 Andres Romero.
Starting his round on the back nine, Reavie made a late charge with birdies on Nos. 4-7 to move to 6 under. Then, he said he heard thunder while he lined up the birdie putt that he pushed wide right.
Playing partners Parker McLachlin and Johnson Wagner both holed out, but the air horn sounded to stop play moments before Reavie could tap in. That temporarily halted his best round since the Mercedes-Benz Championship – the first event of the year.
"The putter woke up today," he said. "I've been hitting the ball well for the last month and a half or so. I just haven't been able to make any putts."
Snedeker, who won the Wyndham two years ago when it was held across town at Forest Oaks Country Club, started on the back nine and birdied the par-3 No. 7 before the delay, then came back out and closed his round with consecutive pars.
"I've been putting it fantastic – I putted it great today, and hit a lot of quality iron shots," Snedeker said. "I knew I was swinging good, knew I was playing good ... I guess getting back on bent-grass greens kind of got my putter working again."
