Se presenta un estudio básico sobre la capacidad de utilizar el cruce de dos guías de onda ópticas basadas en solitones espaciales obscuros, para actuar como un divisor de haces ópticos controlable. El estudio se basa en el hecho que; la luz guiadaes difractada en la zona de cruce de la guía de onda por una pantalla de fase efectiva, formada por el perfil de la colisión de los solitones. Se encontró que cuando los dos solitones obscuros están inmersos en el mismo fondo de luz brillante finito, la energía del haz guiado puede ser desviada hacia el canal óptico deseado, al modicar el ángulo de colisión. Sin embargo, cuando cada uno de los solitones está inmerso en su propio fondo de luz, la correspondiente unión óptica no funciona adecuadamente. Esto se debe a que el ancho finito de la luz de fondo actúa como un filtro pasa bajas sobre el haz difractado. Además, el efecto de inestabilidad modulacional de cruzamiento de fase ocurre solamente para ángulos de colisión suficientemente pequeños.<br>A fundamental study on the capability of a crossing of two optical wave guides basedon dark-spatial solitons to act as a controllable optical beam splitter is presented in this work. It is based on the fact that the guided beam is diffracted at the wave guide crossing by an effective phase screen formed by the soliton collision profile. It was found that when the two dark solitons are immersed into the same finite bright background, the energy of a guided beam can be split into the desired optical channel according to the collision angle. On the other hand, when each dark soliton is immersed into its own bright background, the corresponding optical junction can not operate. This is because the finite width of the backgrounds acts as a low-pass filter over the diffracted beam, and because the onset of the cross-phase modulation instability effect occurs for small enough collision angles.Date

PALS - Performance Assessment Links in Science1999-01PALS is an on-line, standards-based, continually updated resource bank of science performance assessment tasks indexed via the National Science Education Standards (NSES) and various other standards frameworks. The tasks, collected from numerous sources, include student directions and response forms, administration procedures, scoring rubrics, examples of student work, and technical quality data calculated from field testing. On-line rater training packets have also been created for some tasks. PALS is supported by a grant from the Elementary, Secondary, and Informal Education (ESIE) Division (Grant #: ESI-9730651) of the National Science Foundation.

NASA Earth Observatory: Biomes (title provided or enhanced by cataloger)This National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) website allows students to investigate biomes and then test their knowledge by completing missions. The site provides basic data about each biome such as temperature, precipitation, vegetation, location, description and links. Biomes discussed include coniferous forest, temperate deciduous forest, desert, grassland, rainforest, shrubland and tundra. The two missions (available at beginner and advanced levels) are designed to teach students about the relationship between temperature and precipitation and plants in biomes. A teacher resource guide provides details about goals, expected outcomes, extension ideas, and hands-on activities.
