Novel Field Installable Sagged Fiber Connector Realizing Physical Contact Connection without Polishing Fiber Endface
We propose and demonstrate a new type of field installable optical fiber connector that enables us to realize physical contact connection by using a sharpened fiber endface and the compression force of sagged fiber.
Physical contact connection of single-mode fiber with cleaved and unpolished endface
The physical contact connection of an SMF with a return loss of more than 50 dB is achieved by using the cleaved fiber endface. The fiber endface requirements and appropriate cleaving conditions are clarified.
Natural history and long‐term evolution in families with autosomal dominant cortical tremor, myoclonus, and epilepsy
Purpose:  To investigate for the first time the natural history and long‐term evolution of “familial cortical tremor, myoclonus, and epilepsy.”
