The PL is fabricated directly on the three sources, in this case three cores of a multi-core fiber, using a commercial two-photon polymerization-based 3D nanoprinter. Despite the diminutive size and high index contrast of the polymer core/air cladding waveguides, we observed low insertion loss multiplexing (less than-1.7 d B), low polarization dependent loss (less than-0.25 dB), mode dependent loss of-1.7 d B, low wavelength dependence, and mode group crosstalk of less than-16 dB. We demonstrate mode group multiplexed transmission using our mode-selective multiplexer/demultiplexer pair and a short three-mode fiber link in an on-off keying intensity modulation/direct detection(IM/DD) experiment, recovering two 12.5 Gb/s signals without MIMO processing.展开更多

Let G be the covering group of S acting on the hyperbolic plane H. In this paper, the author studies some algebraic relations in the mapping class group of S for S = S／{a point}. The author shows that the only possible relations between products of two Dehn twists and products of mapping classes determined by two parabolic elements of G are the reduced lantern relations. As a consequence, a partial solution to a problem posed by J. D. McCarthy is obtained.展开更多

In The Last Gentleman, Will Barrett embarks upon a journey from the North to the South in quest of identity. Lanterns on the Levee features a similar identity quest pursued, this time, by an autobiographer who records the very process of this quest rather than representing it by a fictional character. Percy the stoic restores realness to people in a lost world, from whom he derives his self and in whom his self is deeply rooted, by remem- bering the personally significant and good past and forgetting the personally insignificant and evil present. In so doing, he not only asserts his personal identity but continues to construct it in an imaginative way. Will, by contrast, seeks to constitute and ascertain his stoic identity both by attempting to forget the every- dayness of ordinary life and thereby establish a genuine relationship with people and by undertaking the pursuit of a fatherly figure who echoes his tenacious memory of his father. Both Will and Percy, however, may be called what Kierkegaard calls a knight of infinite resignation.展开更多
