Hawkes //Example 10.2 //OS=Windows XP sp3 //Scilab version 5.5.2 clc; clear; //given Alpha=5e-7;//Coefficient of expansion of pure silica in K^(-1) Beta=6.8e-6;//Value for pure silica in K^(-1) LambdaB=1.55e-6;//Wavelength in m n1=1.46;//Dimensionless Refractive index of Silica P11=0.126;//Value of 1st Pockels coefficient P12=0.274;//Value of 2nd Pockels coefficient Mu=0.17;//Poisson's ratio DeltaLambdaB=LambdaB*(Alpha+Beta);//Wavelength sensitivity to temperature changes of the fiber in m K^(-1) mprintf("\n DeltaLambdaB = %.4f nm K^-1",DeltaLambdaB/1e-9);//Dividing by 10^(-9) to convert to nm K^(-1) Pe=(n1^2)/2*((1-Mu)*P12-Mu*P11);//Corresponding effective photoelastic coefficient mprintf("\n Pe = %.3f",Pe);//The answers vary due to round off error DeltaLambdaB=LambdaB*(1-Pe);//Wavelength sensitivity as far as sensitivity is concerned in m Epsilon^(-1) mprintf("\n DeltaLambdaB = %.1e m Epsilon^-1",DeltaLambdaB);
