The Drake MN-2000 matching network matches 50 ohm transmitter
output to coax antenna feeding with VSWR of at least 5:1. Power capacity
is 1000 watts average continuous duty or 2000 watts PEP. It features a VSWR meter
with a 200 watt and 2000 watt scale (5% accurate). The antenna switch
selects either of two antennas to be matched by the MN-2000. In the Direct 1 and Direct 2 positions, the tuning network is removed. The rear panel features SO-239 jacks for input and output. 10.75 x 5.5 x 14.375 inches.
An antenna dummy load must be connected to the MN-2000 before energizing
the transmitter to avoid damage to the MN-2000. MN-2000 tuning should
be done with low power whenever possible.
The MN-2000 matches the TR-4 series.
Happy offerding:)

Let me introduce myself: my name is Richard and together with my girlfriend Sue, we will be travelling from London to Orlando on April 22nd for a five week road trip round Florida. This will be our third USA road trip assisted by Fodor.
So far we have planned our itinerary down to the Keys and back up to the start of the Tamiami trail. Could I beg some of you to share your top tips for the west coast and inland below the Ocala area.
Any suggestions, big or small would be welcome. I'm thinking: unusual destinations; B&B's in interesting locations; nice drives and walking/cycling trails ;rivers,creeks and swimming areas; farms and forests; good food stores; craft beers; markets; festivals (any type); local, small sporting events; places to visit at sunrise and late night; great places to photo etc. Absolutely everything would be considered.
Thank you in anticipation

Insider Tips For The West Coast
Let me introduce myself: my name is Richard and together with my girlfriend Sue, we will be travelling from London to Orlando on April 22nd for a five week road trip round Florida. This will be our third USA road trip assisted by Fodor.
Report Abuse
You won't be on the West Coast if you're in Florida. California is our West Coast.
Maybe you mean the Gulf Coast of Florida? i.e. the western coast of Florida?
Report Abuse
I wouldn't miss the Dry Tortuga National Park(since you didn't mention it).
I see your post is tagged for Florida, but most people are going to think you mean California/Oregon Coast when you say West Coast.
Report Abuse
Oh boy here come the post police!
Report Abuse
Big difference.
Report Abuse
Of course I meant the Gulf Coast and I thought I'd been so careful to get everything right! Maybe I'll repost this with a better title. Thanks for pointing out the obvious. As a Brit I didn't give it a thought.
Report Abuse
I'd repost with a different title. Some people (like me) sometimes only look at the title so you may get more helpful responses with a title with the word "Florida" in it.
Report Abuse
He already posted with a different title. Apparently people have plenty to whine about but nothing to add.
Report Abuse
No one is whining. I think we helped the OP tremendously.
Report Abuse
Clark, It was confusing. Frankly, your the one doing the whining.
Report Abuse
Not quite the comments I was expecting - but it's sure been entertaining!
Report Abuse
I thought he meant the West Coast too, meaning California. However, the minute he tagged it Florida it was pretty obvious.
I've been to the Gulf side of Florida and enjoyed the beaches. I can't give you a lot of helpful info but we loved Key West. I would recommend the Hemmingway home, and the President Truman home visits.
Report Abuse
"Maybe you mean the gulf coast of Florida"
All you had to do is read the post to find out. How's that for Fodors police detective work???
"It was confusing"
No it wasn't, it is tagged "Florida". Some of the fodors cops are apparently stuck at the donut shop.
Report Abuse
You need to calm down and quit YELLING, clark. It's only a travel forum.
"Maybe you mean the gulf coast of Florida".
Just being polite. You should try it some time.
Report Abuse
More often than not, a foreign visitor on this board very often tries to do way way to much when coming to the US. My first thought was they wanted to see Florida and California in one visit.
I will say spending 5 weeks in Flordia would be a great trip.
Clark, "apparently people have plenty to whine about but nothing to add" LOOK AT YOU LAST 3 POSTS
I'm sorry I added any comments to your topic. I was just trying to make things clear. Hope you enjoy your trip to Florida. Weather will probably be nice at the beginning of your trip, but if you are still here at the end of May, then it will be getting warm and humid(probably not unbearable though). FYI, Memorial Day Weekend can be busy at some spots, so plan accordingly for that last weekend in May.
I would probably visit Everglades first, as the longer you wait, the more mosquitoes you will encounter.
Report Abuse
"I think we helped the OP tremendously"
What exactly makes you think that?
Report Abuse
You wouldn't understand.

Went to this one 2 times. Not as good as it could be. Steak was undercooked. Took a long time to redo steak.
This is my favorite steak place. Only go here for special occasions since it's so pricey. They didn't cook my steak correctly once and they took it off the bill and also gave us free dessert.

There has been a HUGE improvement over the past months at both Stoney River locations. The menu has changed with some fabulous improvements, the staff is friendlier and more attentive and the wine list is just an incredible improvement. There is a noticeable upward trend going on in these restaurants which sets them apart from their competitors. This is a great choice for the money. Steaks are cooked perfectly, seafood additions are delicous and the expansion of the wines are a great idea. Go Stoney River!

When I want a quality filet cooked med rare this is my ""GO TO"". The meat is always cooked to perfection. The Shrimp cocktail is yummy too. Not to mention the bread is A MA ZING! I prefer to sit in a booth away from the bar area. The bar area and main dining area can get a little loud sometimes. But that is prob due to the fact that everyone is having a good time! It reminds me of a upscale lodge. Very Cozy. Call ahead for reservations b/c I am not alone in my thoughts about this place.
Posted: 6/12/2009Provided by Citysearch -
Where do I start?
When a friend and I first arrived at the restaurant, the valet parked are car and we proceeded to go inside to get a table. They had just opened for the night so when we asked for a table, the hostess said that there weren't any tables ready and also that they weren't open. She asked us, ""Would we like to wait?"". We weren't in a rush so we did.
When they were finally ready, the hostess brought us to our table but to our surprise, there were already about 3 tables seated and noone had come in after us. Every table in the dining room had silverware and were placed. The hostess was very belittling.
Next, we order our steak and my friend ordered his medium rare. While we were waiting for our steaks to come out, the manager then tells my friend that they are unable to get the steak to a temperature of medium rare and that they would only be able to get it at medium. Could someone explain to me how you can only get a steak to medium which is past medium rare if it's raw meat?
Noone ever thanked us for coming even after they knew it was our first time here. As my friend and I left, the hostess was talking to her co-worker. She looked up at us, I smiled, she looked away and that was that. I felt unwanted as a guest except you know, when they asked for my 100 dollars for a horrible meal.
I later talked to the management about it the next day. However, there's no use in complaining to them because they will do nothing about it and they don't seem too concerned about it.
I would rather go to Logans than this place. The food is average. At least give me amazing service and horrible food or vice versa but horrible service and horrible food and a no no.
Posted: 4/16/2009Provided by Citysearch -
ordered my steak medium rare. it came back a tiny bit pink in the middle only. for $40 you'd think they get it right, don't you???? will not go back, and we implore you to stay away.
I just thought I'd let everyone know that if you're looking for a high end steak experience, avoid Stoney River at all costs. They charge premium prices, but their meat isn't very good, and they managed to overcook my prime rib and my friend's sirloin, both of which were ordered medium rare. Medium rare is not gray and dry inside. I can excuse that at Logan's or Sizzler, but not at a place charging 40 for a steak. Their ""rolls"" are more like donut holes, complete with honey cinnamon butter. Not something you'd really want with a savory steak. Their corn chowder was rather anemic, and their potatoes are absolutely WRETCHED. We both took one bite of the caramelized onion potatoes and spat it back up. It was so sweet it made the both of us gag. I know what caramelized onions taste like; rich and sweet, but not Snicker's bar sweet. Not Snicker's bars mashed with what could have been boxed potato flakes, they were that smooth and runny.
We tried to flag down some of the wait staff, but were rebuffed by silence. They all acted like they were too busy to help us, and our waitress was absent most of the night. She took our order, gave us our food, and then disappeared. My beer glass ran empty after a couple of bites of dry beef, and I couldn't even get somebody to get me a refill. It was a Friday night, but the place was only half full. Despite being half full, we were seated right next to the service entrance to the kitchen and bar, and so in addition to bad food, we were treated with an endless stream of people ignoring us and people dropping drinks (happened twice) in front of our table. Wonderful ambiance. I wrote the manager about my experience, and he was very apologetic. He offered to send me a certificate 4 weeks ago, but of course it never came.
So don't go there. Ruth's Chris, Morton's, the Palm....all head and shoulders above this crapfest.
I love a good steak. I love it medium rare, and I love it without sauces or excessive spices. In addition to a good steak, I love great service. I am not Donald Trump. If I spend 50 dollars on a meal, I expect it to be above average. I expect the food to be great, and I expect the service to be trouble free.
Stoney River struck out on all counts. The restaurant was virtually empty, but my partner and I were completely ignored. Perhaps it was because we weren't wearing a cardigan over shirts with expensive chinos, or perhaps it because we weren't white enough, but our waiter came by exactly three times. At the few other tables that were occupied, I saw waiters and bus boys and even the manager making the rounds, making sure everything was OK. Not a word was said in our direction.
If the food had been half decent, perhaps I could have forgiven the bad service. Sadly, this was not so. The ribeye I ordered was severely overcooked. Medium rare means cool pink in the center, not warm gray. Dry aging does not help if the steak is overcooked into something resembling shoe leather. The potatoes were inedible. My wine glass went empty almost immediately after I cut into my steak, but nobody came by to offer me more, nor to check and see if our steaks are fine. I shan't be back. When our check came, we asked to see the manager, but nobody came by after 10 minutes and so we left. Never to return.

We enjoyed our meal at Stoney River. My prime rib was excellent and so were the garlic mashed potatoes. My wife said that part of her ribeye was tough but over all it was good. The service was superb.We were not that impressed by the head of lettuce salad, the bleu chees dressing was not very good.

Recorded on October 11, 2011
From The Heritage Foundation, I'm Ernest Istook.
The death of Steve Jobs has unleashed a torrent of well-deserved praise for the founder of Apple Computers. He's been labeled a creative genius on the order of Leonardo daVinci or Thomas Edison.
So what did Steve Jobs say about America's schools, and what it takes to unleash every child's full potential?
In his words: "
I believe very strongly that if the country gave each parent a voucher…several things would happen. Number one, schools would start marketing themselves like crazy to get students. Secondly, I think you'd see a lot of new schools starting…. I believe that they would do far better than any of our public schools would. The third thing you'd see is…the quality of schools again, just in a competitive marketplace, start to rise."
Steve Jobs wanted school choice, not an education system run by government bureaucrats. It's worth thinking about.

Finally, a blue screen-of-death design for my generation! NetworkWorld reports that Microsoft has reimagined the infamous blue screen of death in Windows 8, imbuing it with a kinder, gentler quality—namely a big ASCII frown and a shorter, more concise message that would (almost) fit inside a 140-character tweet:
Your PC ran into a problem that it couldn't handle, and now it needs to restart.
You can search for the error online: HAL_INITIALIZATION_FAILED
Patrick Kortendick of MobilityDigest and Xbox360Digest put up a picture of the new BSOD in the wild on TwitPic, and it looks like a reboot countdown clock is in the mix, too. Click the thumbnail on the right for the full-sized version.
I don't know how that ASCII frown will go over in the button-down business world, but I, for one, hope Microsoft keeps it. System crashes are frustrating enough as it is; having your operating system barf up a screen full of ugly, cryptic text is like twisting the knife in the wound.

Wild Orchid (1990)
105 mins
Rourke goes Wild for Otis
Tell him to take his pants off - Claudia
Were they really having sex or are they just brilliant actors, is the sort of question which arises when you watch "Wild Orchid" a movie notorious for the sex scene between Mickey Rourke and Carré Otis. Well that particular sex scene in "Wild Orchid", and there are a few, looks pretty convincing to me and as you would expect for such a realistic scene it borders on being soft porn with its explicit nature. And that is probably quite a good way to describe "Wild Orchid" as it feels more like soft porn masquerading as a movie; a movie which discard the sex scenes is utterly pointless and very artsy fartsy.
Having just been employed by a law firm, Emily (Jacqueline Bisset - Class) finds herself heading straight down to Rio with her boss Claudia (Jacqueline Bisset - Class) to finalise a real estate negotiation. When Claudia has to rush off, the naive and innocent Emily is left in the hands of millionaire James Wheeler (Mickey Rourke - Nine 1/2 Weeks) who wines and dines her. But at the same time he shows her the other side of Rio where the sexual abandon she witnesses intrigues her.
What I am sure "Wild Orchid" wanted to be was an erotic thriller, sexy edge of your seat stuff but frankly strip away all the eroticism and what is left is not very thrilling. The story revolves around the unusual relationship which forms between naive lawyer Emily and millionaire James as he wines and dines her leading her into the sexual underworld of Rio. The thing is that the actual storyline seems to be pointless, especially when it comes to the whole premise of her being a lawyer looking after an estate purchase. And being pointless any attempt to give it any mystery is superfluous and rather daft.
With the storyline being ultimately pointless and less than thrilling it means that "Wild Orchid" works on an erotic level. And that erotic level is basically Emily being shown the other side to Rio where she sees people having sex on a construction site, masquerade parties where it's all about sex and of course eventually ending up having sex with James which gives us the notorious realistic sex scene between Mickey Rourke and Carré Otis. Now all these sex scenes, and there are many, are very artsy fartsy with imaginative use of lighting, slow motion and cascading water to make them seem more than what they are but which ever way you look at it they are more like soft porn than being art. Now watching "Wild Orchid" as purely eroticism it does what is sets out to do and that is to be arousing but it's not in the least bit entertaining. And it's not entertaining because between all these sex scenes there is no real story and a lot of terrible dialogue.
Funnily whilst pretty much every performance disappoints from Carré Otis's attempts at being naive through to Jacqueline Bisset as her boss Claudia Dennis I actually enjoyed Mickey Rourke as James. In a way it feels like James is an extension of what Mickey Rourke delivered in "Nine 1/2 Weeks" with him being manipulative and risque. It makes him at least a bit interesting as you are never quite sure what he will do next, such as in the scene where he gets a troubled husband and wife to have sex in a limo they are sharing. But whilst I enjoyed his performance it also felt at times like there wasn't really a defined character rather Rourke just enjoying the risque nature of the movie.
What this all boils down to is that "Wild Orchid" is in fact a bad movie which really doesn't have much of a storyline, has plenty of terrible dialogue and thrives on being erotic. As such it's not very entertaining but watched purely for eroticism it is arousing. And for a movie so devoid of anything really special it is a movie which is known purely for whether or not Mickey Rourke and Carré Otis really did have sex in the movies most memorable sex scene.

JVC is unveiling a new compact shoulder professional camcorder developed for electronic newsgathering at the NAB Show. The new GY-HM700 camera records directly to SDHC memory cards in the QuickTime (.MOV) format and optionally to SxS media as well.
Recording in the a format that is natively recognized by Final Cut Pro editing workstations helps stations get stories to air faster by eliminating transfer times and dramatically speeding up the post-production workflow.
The shoulder-mount GY-HM700 camcorder stores files on inexpensive SDHC memory cards. The camera provides two memory card slots, for a total of up to 64GB capacity — more than six hours of continuous HD recording at 35Mb/s. It automatically begins recording on the second card when the first card fills up. When the second card fills up, the camera reverts to recording to the first card slot, allowing for virtually unlimited recording lengths.
By attaching the optional KA-MR100 dockable media recorder, users can record (Sony XDCAM EX-compatible) .MP4 files onto high-speed SxS memory cards, while at the same time recording the same .MP4 files to inexpensive SDHC cards. Having two copies instantaneously available provides more versatility in the field with the assurance of always having a backup.
The GY-HM700 uses three 1/3in progressive scan HD CCDs that utilize a unique optical block with diagonal offset and a patented adaptive pixel correlation technique. This is complemented with a detachable Canon 1920 x 1080 HD lens (KT14x4.4KRSJ). The camera's standard bayonet mount also accepts a wide range of optional lenses available from JVC. There's also an optional prime lens adapter.

Bill O'Reilly on Brexit Motive: "In Parts of London, You're Not Really in England, You're in Pakistan"
High school teen Cameron D'Ambrosio was arrested on terror charges and faces up to 20 years in prison for a Facebook post in which he made threats against the White House and mentioned the Boston bombings.
"He posted a threat in the form of rap where he mentioned the White House, the Boston Marathon bombing, and said 'everybody you will see what I am going to do, kill people," Methuen Police Chief Joe Solomon told the Valley Patriot.
In addition to the threats made against the White House, D'Ambrosio also posted a "Wanted: Dead or Alive" poster of himself and made remarks such as "Fuck politics, Fuck Obama and Fuck the government!!"
D'Ambrosio was arrested after another student brought the Facebook post to the attention of school administrators, who immediately contacted police.
"I do want to make clear he did not make a specific threat against the school or any particular individuals but he did threaten to kill a bunch of people and specifically mentioned the Boston Marathon and the White House. The threat was disturbing enough for us to act and I think our officers did the right thing," said Solomon.
According to Solomon, D'Ambrosio faces up to 20 years in prison for making terroristic threats under MGL. Ch. 269, Section 14. His bail has been set at $1 million dollars.
While no one can excuse the threats made by D'Ambrosio, the case underscores how authorities are increasingly focusing on social media in an attempt to track down violent rhetoric.
But while D'Ambrosio faces 20 years in jail for threatening Obama, not a single Obama supporter who threatened to assassinate Mitt Romney during the 2012 election campaign was charged with any kind of felony.
As we documented at the time, hundreds of Obama voters took to Twitter to make violent threats against Romney and his supporters with little response from the authorities.
The video below, taken from D'Ambrosio's YouTube channel, illustrates the amateur nature of his work and how his threats were more likely the product of a bored teenager rather than a terrorist mastermind.

In short no. The weather extremly unpredictable and unless you're fortunate enough to be here during a settled high pressure system there's no way of predicting more than a couple of days ahead.

Broadly, though, September and June have the driest weather, though no one can predict what it will be any individual day or hour.

This application is a continuation of application Ser. No. 08/522,500, filed Aug. 31, 1995, now abandoned.
This invention relates to optical fibres. In particular, the invention relates to an improved structure for double-clad optical fibres designed to maximize the coupling of modes propagating in the multimode cladding into the core.
A number of applications, such as biomedical and thermal printing applications, require high power laser sources (>1 Watt) in the near infrared region, as well as practical, flexible beam delivery systems. The maximum lasing power which can be extracted from a fibre laser source depends ultimately on the amount of pump radiation which can be coupled into the fibre laser cavity. The large emitting area and extreme aspect ratios (100 μm�1 μm) of high power stripe diodes available as pump sources typically result in unacceptably low coupling efficiencies of 10% into single mode fibre.
Double-clad optical fibres, consisting of a single mode core, an inner multimode cladding and a further cladding, offer improved coupling efficiency as the dimension of the inner cladding can be chosen to optimize coupling from the intended pump source. Up to 90% coupling efficiency has been achieved with double-clad fibres. In a typical double-clad fibre, a lasant-doped single mode core, having index of refraction n1, is surrounded by a large inner multimode cladding with index of refraction n2 <n1. This inner multimode cladding is then surrounded by a further layer, with index of refraction n3 <n2, which confines radiation in the inner cladding and prevents scattering losses due to accumulation of dirt and humidity on the guiding interface. The pump radiation is transferred from the modes in the inner cladding to the absorptive, single mode core as they propagate along the length of the fibre. In this way several watts of pump power can eventually be completely absorbed by the lasant-doped single mode core and thus single mode lasing at much higher powers can be achieved using double-clad fibres. The double-clad fibre geometry essentially acts as a brightness converter on the order of the area ratio of the inner cladding to the core, which may be typically 400:1.
The overall lasing efficiency of fibre lasers made using double-clad fibre is not as high, however, as in conventional single-clad devices. The absorption of the pump light guided in the cladding is, in a first approximation, governed by Beer's law wherein the absorption coefficient of the doped core is reduced by the cladding/core area ratio. Experimental results have shown that the effective absorption coefficient of concentric circular double-clad fibre is only 5% of that predicted from the geometric area ratio of Beer's law. The reason for this is thought to be as follows. The strength of the absorption of a given mode depends on the field distribution of the mode at the position of the absorptive core. The higher the order of modes, the lower the field distribution at the centre of the inner cladding. For a double-clad fibre optimised for pumping by a broad stripe diode laser (typically 100 μm wide), the number of modes in the inner cladding is on the order of 105, and only a small fraction of the field is propagating in the centre of the inner cladding and can thus be absorbed by the doped core. The radiation transfer from the multimode cladding to the single mode core is reduced by the number of modes propagating in the cladding which do not exhibit a local maxima at the location of the core. Typically, the cladding/core area ratio can be up to 400:1 and in this instance only 3% of the modes are absorbed by the single mode core (Bedo et al. in Optics Communications, 1993, pages 331-335).
It has also been shown by Bedo et al. that the absorption coefficient of double-clad fibre is non-linear with fibre length and may be up to three times larger for short lengths versus long lengths of fibre. This can be understood if one considers the modes propagating in the cladding as two ensembles, those that are absorbed by the core and those that are not, which are inter-related by a mixing parameter. The effective absorption coefficient for the double-clad fibre is then a function of the absorption coefficient, the mixing or power coupling coefficient, and the fraction of the ensemble of non-absorbing modes to the total power in the fibre. The small fraction of modes in the multimode cladding which initially do have local maxima at the position of the core are quickly depleted in a short distance by the highly absorptive core. This has the effect of increasing the relative fraction of non-absorbing modes, and thus reduces the effective absorption coefficient in the remaining length of fibre. The effective absorption of the double-clad fibre, after a characteristic length, is in fact lower than that predicted by considering only the geometric ratio of the areas of the core and cladding regions.
It has been recognized that the introduction of perturbations in the multimode cladding modes induces mode mixing and increases the radiation transfer from the inner cladding to the core. The conventional approach to achieving this effect has been to induce bends in the fibre. However, it is often the case that as many modes as are subsequently coupled into the ensemble of absorbed modes are also coupled into non-guided modes in the cladding and so are lost. The net effect is an only marginal increase in device performance. It has also been suggested to design a fibre with a constant offset of the single mode core from the geometric centre of the multimode cladding. This approach has had some success, however, it is still much less efficient than the 100% transfer efficiency inherent in traditional single-clad single mode fibre lasers in which the pump radiation and lasing mode are both guided in the same waveguide structure.
There remains a need to improve the overall efficiency of devices incorporating double-clad fibre geometries such as fibre lasers and amplifiers. It is therefore an objective of the invention to provide a structure for a double-clad optical fibre wherein there is improved coupling of the modes in the cladding to the core and thereby improve the performance of such devices.
The invention provides a double-clad fibre structure comprising a substantially single mode lasant-doped core, an inner multimode cladding surrounding the core, and an outer cladding surrounding the inner multimode cladding wherein the position of the core relative to the cross sectional plane of the inner cladding varies continuously, or "wanders", along the length of the fibre. As a result, a substantial amount of radiation in the cladding is coupled into the single mode core, and a continually renewed distribution of undepleted high order modes propagating in the inner cladding are coupled into the single mode core along the length of the fibre. Substantially all of the energy launched into the inner cladding may be absorbed in a shorter characteristic length of fibre in this wandering core configuration than in conventional double-clad fibre geometries.
The invention may be more fully appreciated by reference to the detailed description of the preferred embodiment which follows and to the drawings, shown in exaggerated detail in which:
FIGS. 1(A) to 1(D) is a series illustrating four cross-sectional views of the fibre according to the preferred embodiment of this invention, with each view being taken at succesive positions along the length of the fibre;
FIG. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of a portion of a length of fibre according to the preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of a length of perform according to a first method of making a fibre according to the preferred embodiment of the invention;
FIGS. 4(A) to 4(D) are a series of four cross sectional views illustrating a first alternative embodiment of this invention, taken at different lengths along the fibre;
FIG. 5 is a side view of a preform for making a fibre according to the first alternative embodiment of the invention wherein the preform has been formed with a helical groove;
FIGS. 6(A) to 6(C) are a series of three cross sectional views illustrating a second alternative embodiment of this invention taken at successive positions along the length of the fibre;
FIGS. 7(A) and 7(B) are, respectively, a longitudinal sectional view and a cross-sectional view of a preform for making a fibre according to the second alternative embodiment of the invention, with FIG. 7(B) being a cross sectional view taken along line 7B--7B in FIG. 7(A).
Referring to FIG. 1, the optical fibre of the preferred embodiment of the invention has a single mode core 10 surrounded by an inner cladding 12 having an index of refraction less than the index of refraction of the core 10. Core 10 may be for example a fused silica core, doped with with an active lasant material. The core may also be co-doped with a suitable element such as germanium or boron to increase the photosensitivity of the core to ultra violet radiation to facilitate the writing of Bragg gratings in the core. The inner cladding 12 may be formed of fused silica, and acts as a multimode waveguide. This inner cladding may be doped with trace elements, for example fluorine or phosphorus, to modify the index of refraction to allow more flexibility in the fibre design parameters such as the numerical aperture (NA) and the dimensions of the core and cladding regions. The ratio of the area of the inner cladding to that of the core in the invention is substantially in the range of approximately twelve to four hundred to one (12-400:1). Inner cladding 12 is surrounded by an outer cladding 14 whose index of refraction is less than that of inner cladding 12. A final jacket 15 is applied to protect and strengthen the fibre.
As illustrated in FIGS. 1(A) to 1(D) and FIG. 2, the position of the core 10 in relation to the inner cladding 12 wanders along the length of the fibre. In each of the figures, the relative size and wander of the core has been exaggerated for clarity. In the progression of views in FIGS. 1(A) to 1(D), the transverse position of core 10 within inner cladding with respect to various cross sectional planes along the length of the fibre in a series of views illustrating the variance in the transverse positioning of core 10 within the confines of inner cladding 12 along the length of the fibre.
In the preferred embodiment, the variation of the position of the single mode core is dictated by the absorption length of the double-clad fibre. For the case of a four level laser system, such as a double-clad fibre laser in which core 10 is doped for example with ytterbium (Yb), the length of fibre, 1, which absorbs a power, Pa, is given by ##EQU1## where x is the ratio of the outer to inner core areas, N is the total number density of ytterbium ions and P(O) is the launched pump power. PS is the saturation power given by ##EQU2## where σep and σap are the pump emission and absorption cross-sections, respectively, τ is the upper level lifetime and A is area of the inner cladding and hvp is the photon energy of the pump radiation. If we define a characteristic absorption length, labs, to be that which absorbs half of the launched pump power, then labs is derived from equation (2): ##EQU3##
In the preferred embodiment the single mode core wanders a minimum distance equivalent to the diameter of the single mode core within a length of fibre given by labs but may wander from this minimum up to 0.9 r, where r is the radius of the inner cladding in the case of a circular geometry.
FIG. 3 illustrates a preform 16 for making fibre according to the preferred embodiment of the invention. Preform 16 comprises a single mode core 10 and a multimode cladding 12. As illustrated in FIG. 3, V-grooves 18 are machined into opposing sides of preform 16 and are offset from the opposing V-grooves by an amount equal to one half the width of the V-groove. The fibre is drawn from the preform according to methods known to those skilled in the art of drawing preforms, such as using a drawing-furnance, resulting in a fibre in which the core is substantially single mode, the inner cladding is substantially multimode and the ratio of the areas of cladding 12 to core 10 is 12 to 400:1. As a result of the V-grooves 18 in preform, position of the core 10 relative to the cross sectional plane of the cladding 12 varies along the length of the pulled fibre, alternating from one side of the cladding 12 to the other as illustrated, for example, in FIG. 2. As an example, an 8 mm diameter machined preform with V-grooves which are 2 mm deep and 2 mm wide may produce a fibre with a total core wander of 60 μm within a ten-meter length of drawn fibre. The core displacement may be characterized as radial as indicated by the successive positions of core 10 along radial, horizontal line 17. As best seen in FIG. 2, the variance of core 10 along cladding 12 is displaced along radial, horizontal line 17 on either side of radial, vertical line 19. An outer cladding 14, which may be a clear plastic, is applied as the fibre leaves the drawing furnace and a protective jacket 15 is thereafter applied over outer cladding 14.
It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art of pulling fibre that the grooves need not necessarily be V-shape of a V. Other grooves shape are contemplated, as, for example, square grooves. However, V-grooves are preferred rather than square grooves, to provide a more gradual displacement of the core in the drawn fibre to reduce guiding losses in the single mode core. The displacement of the core need not necessarily be a radial displacement and any pattern of substantial displacement of the core with respect to the cross sectional plane of the inner cladding which promotes the transfer of radiation from the cladding to the core is within the scope of the invention. However, the periodicity should not be so short nor the displacement so great as to induce substantial guiding loss in the single mode core thereby negating the improvement achieved by the invention. In a fibre laser or fibre amplifier device, the longitudinal period of the wander should be less than or equal to the length of fibre required in the device.
An alternative embodiment of the fibre is shown in FIGS. 4(A) to 4(C). It may be fabricated in much the same way as the previous embodiment except that, as shown in FIG. 5, instead of V-grooves, a helical or spiral groove 21 is created in the preform 22, of sufficient width and depth that the displacement of the core 10 of the fibre drawn from this preform describes a corkscrew pattern along the length of the fibre. The resulting core displacement in the pulled fibre is illustrated in the succession of figures starting from FIGS. 4(A) to 4(C) FIG. 4(D). In this embodiment, the core displacement may be characterised as angular as shown by successive arrows 30, 32, and 34 as opposed to radial shown in FIGS. 1A to 1D.
A second alternative embodiment of this invention is shown in FIGS. 6(A) to 6(C). Again, it may be fabricated in much the same way as the first embodiment except that preform 24, shown in FIGS. 7(A) and (B), is first polished to provide a shape having a substantially rectangular cross-section. V-grooves 26 are then formed into opposing sides of the preform, as illustrated in FIG. 7A, and the fibre is drawn thereafter.
The fibre according to this invention may be used as an optical gain medium for fibre amplifiers or fibre lasers. In the former, the pump radiation from, for example, a large area stripe diode is launched into the inner cladding with high coupling efficiency and subsequently absorbed in the doped core creating a high gain environment at a wavelength characteristic of the active dopant. Radiation at the signal wavelength is launched into the core and is amplified during a single pass through the fibre.
In the case of a fibre laser, reflective media at each end of the fibre provide optical feedback creating a resonant cavity. Lasing is achieved in the doped core when the intensity of the pump radiation creates sufficient gain to overcome the intrinsic loss of the cavity. The reflective media may, for example, consist of bulk dielectric mirrors abutted directly against the end facets of the fibre, or fused-tapered wavelength de-multiplexers (WDM's) or reflective Bragg gratings.
In both of the foregoing embodiments the numerical aperture (NA) of the inner cladding should be substantially in the range 0.2-0.4 to allow efficient coupling to high power, broad stripe laser diode pump sources, which typically have high NA's. The geometry and dimensions of the inner cladding may also be matched to that of the pump source to further maximize coupling efficiency. The diameter of the core should be chosen to be as large as possible, within the fibre design restrictions necessary for substantially single mode behaviour in the core, to provide as large an area as possible to intercept radiation propagating along the inner cladding.
Fibre according to the invention is also advantageous for fibre lasers incorporating double-doped double-clad fibre as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,291,501 by Hanna. In this fibre design, both the core and the inner cladding are doped with active lasant material, different from each other. Appropriate pump radiation is launched into the inner cladding and lasing is induced in the inner cladding. This lasing emission then serves as the pump radiation for the optical fibre core which then also lases. The wandering core configuration of the inventive fibre would greatly enhance the transfer of radiation from the inner cladding to the fibre core improving device performance.
It will be appreciated from the foregoing that optical fibre according to the invention provides improved efficiency in coupling multimode radiation into a single mode core. It will also be appreciated that variations to the preferred and alternative embodiments described herein may be practiced without departing from the scope of the invention.

Here's what they had to say about the Superman costume from "Superman Returns".
On the bright side, the creators of the 2006 Superman remake wisely resisted the urge to drop the Man of Steel into a made-of-steel, chiseled suit carved to look like a cover of Men's Health. Here, Superman looks like he might actually be a journalist in disguise. They also deserve credit for keeping Superman in mostly patriotic colors. Superman may be a little too "truth, justice and the American Way" for some people, but we're talking about Superman, here. He's gotta be him, and one-notch-shy of actually wearing a flag always made sense for this farm boy. This leads to our one complaint: What up with the burgundy boots and cape? Red states yield red capes; burgundy is for wine drinkers.
