Actively mode-locked fiber lasers for high speed telecommunication systems by Lam, Quoc Huy

“…On the other hand, the laser's SNR rapidly decreases as the laser is detuned since the pulse experiences higher loss when passing the modulator with position shift. As a result, the locking range is found to be limited by the noise.…”

Semiparametric sieve maximum likelihood estimation for interval censored data with/without cure fraction by Szabo, Zsolt

“…In the first part, we discuss the accelerated hazards (AH) model, which provides an alternative to the popular proportional hazards (PH) model when the proportionality does not hold. We explore the difficulties that arise when one fits the AH model to interval censored data. …”
