In this study a channel cavity flow was performed. The channel has small size in the upper cavity region. At the gap is supplied by driven flow for Reynolds number. The experimental study was carried out in a channel cavity with square heat surface by visualization equipment with Mach-Zehnder interferometer and laser apparatus. Heat source was uniform heat flux($0.4W/cm^2,\;0.8W/cm^2,\;1.2W/cm^2$). When the bottom wall is heated, the tendency of natural convection flows are vigorous increasing heat flux.

We firstly develop a straightforward method to generate full $Poincar{\acute{e}}$ beams with any polarization geometry over an arbitrary order $Poincar{\acute{e}}$ sphere. We implement this by coaxial superposition of two orthogonal circular polarized beams with alternative topological charges with the help of a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Secondly we find the existence of singularity points. And the inner relationship between their characteristics and the order of $Poincar{\acute{e}}$ spheres is also studied. In summary, this work provides a convenient and effective way to generate vector beams and to control their polarization states.

An experimental study was carried out to investigate the effects of inclined angles of channel on thermal stability of electronic components. In this study, it is focused on the natural convection heat transfer from an inclined parallel channel with discrete protruding heat sources. The material used for the inclined parallel channel was epoxy-resin, while air as the cooling fluid. Heat transfer phenomena for inclined angles of $\psi$=$15^{\circ}$, $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$ and for the range of $9.52{\times}10^5/ were analyzed. The thermal fields in the channel were visualized by Mach-Zehnder interferometer. Also, local temperatures were measured by thermocouples along the channel wall and heat sources surface. As a result, for the range of $4.29{\times} 10^5/, a useful correlation of mean Nusselt number was proposed as a function of modified channel Rayleigh number.

A tunable fiber laser and the Quadrature Sampling technique are used to construct highly sensitive fiber-optic distributive Bragg grating strain sensor system. By using a wavelength-modulated fiber laser, the variations of strain-dependent Bragg wavelengths are transformed into the variations of time-domain reflection profiles. The locations of profile peaks that correspond to the applied strains are demodulated using a precise wavelength encoder that uses a fiber-optic Mach-Zehnder interferometer and Quadrature Sampling technique. With the extremely high sensitive optical encoder, we could obtain not only high sensitivity, but also very linear responses that was impossible with the conventional techniques. This paper is attempted to report the theoretical and experimental results.

In this work, a possible new PD detection technique, based on the electro-optic effect, has been proposed. A proto-type probe sensor for detection partial discharge is made by $LiNbO_3$ Pockels cell, diachroic sheet polarizer and right-angle prism. The Mach-Zehnder interferometer system is proposed by using this sensor and this system is applied to detecting high electric field. we show the characteristic of the proto-type probe sensor and the design of a proposed probe type sensor.

The temperature distribution inside a zigzag slab laser glass was measured using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The temperature difference between the center and the surface of the slab caused the fracture of the slab glass. Two laser glasses were fractured at a temperature difference ${\Delta}T_0$of TEX>$110^{\circ}C$, $62^{\circ}C$ respectively. For the design of high-average power glass laser, it is recommended that the limit of the temperature difference ${\Delta}T_0$ inside the slab glass should be smaller than $50^{\circ}C$ for safe operation.ration.

It is well known that a discharge in oil is the source of various physical phenomena. Ultrasonic-wave detection is a useful method to the diagnosis of the transformer-insulation condition. Conventionally, ultrasonic waves are detected by Piezo-electric transducer, and we use optical method that has many advantages. In this paper, we constructed a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with optical fiber and investigated the principle of operation. Test arrangement is based on the needle-plane electrode system in oil and applied AC high voltage. Ultrasonic waves were detected and analyzed with wavelet transform.

In this paper, new Partial Discharge (PD) detection technique using Pockels-cell was proposed. For this purpose, PD was generated from needle-plane electrode in air and detected by optical measuring system using Pockets cell, based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer, consisting of He-Ne laser, single mode optical fiber, 50/50 beam splitter and photo detector. We show the characteristic of the proto-type sensor for the corona discharge.

A numerical and experimental investigation has been carried out to understand a characteristic of natural convection within a horizontal non-circular annulus. A finite-difference method has been used to solve the governing equations numerically. The effect of Rayleigh number. Prandtl number, aspect ratio and diameter ratio is studied analytically. The ranges of the parameters studied herein are Rayleigh number from $10^3$ to $2{\times}10^4$, Prandtl number from 0.1 to 10, aspect ratio from 0.25 to 1.5 and diameter ratio from 1.5 to 9.0. A Mach-Zehnder interferometer is used to obtain isothermal fringes for a diameter ratio Do/Di=2.6 and aspect ratio H/L=0.75 experimentally. A comparison between the experimental and numerical results under similar conditions shows good agreement.

In this paper, we propose a tunable drop/pass filter in the form of composed of Mach-Zehnder interferometer, to which a fiber grating and two PZTs are attached. The proposed drop/pass filter drops a part of signal power at a specific wavelength and pass the remnant of the signal to the next node in WDM network. Our simulation results show that the optical feedback is less than 2% and the drop to pass ratio can be made bigger than 10% if the phase difference between the two arms is within .+-.0.2.pi. from (2m+1).pi.. Also, the output powers at drop prot and pass port are measured to be maximum at the phase difference of .pi./2 and .pi., respectively, as expected.
