Multiwall Carbon Nanotube Polyvinyl alcohol-Based Saturable Absorber in Passively q-Switched Fiber Laser
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In this work, we demonstrated a compact Q-switched erbium-doped fiber laser capable of generating high-energy pulses using a newly developed multiwall carbon nanotube (CNT) polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) thin film based saturable absorber. Q-switched pulse operation is obtained by sandwiching the thin film between two fiber ferrules forming a saturable ab

Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

In modern age, technology is being used for saving time, energy and power in all cases. Undoubtedly rice cooker is an example of all these. It is a combination of cocking and warming mode by which rice is cooked and kept warm. The purpose of this paper is to model an electric rice cooker with improved warming mode. Generally bacteria can grow upto5

From Noise to Bruit in Organization Communication: Roaming with French Knowledge/theory
Research Output | Dar Al-hikmah Library | IIUM Only

Noise is a problem in organization communication that moves along Anglo-Saxon configurations of knowledge. In that system, inspired by the received doctrine of Shannon and Weaver model of communication, noise must be excluded in and from a relationship. In French knowledge/theory, noise is a bruit. At the hand of Serres, bruit becomes an energy of
