Antioxidant activity and acute toxicity of new unsymmetrical azines containing coumarin and one more heterocyclic moieties

Ristić, Milenko • Radulović, Niko • Dekić, Biljana • Ristić, Novica • Dekić, Vidoslav

During our previous work, we prepared a series of mixed azines with a coumarin moiety and different benzaldehydes, and tested their acute toxicity and antioxidant activity. Since heterocyclic compounds possess a broad range of biological activities, in the continuation of our work, we designed, synthesized and fully spectrally characterized a series of new mixed azines starting from 3-acetyl-4-hydroxycoumarin and different heteroaromatic aldehydes. The synthesized compounds were evaluated f ...

New natural products from the epicuticular wax of Dianthus cruentus Griseb. (Caryophyllaceae)

Radulović, Niko • Ristić, Milenko • Mladenović, Marko • Ristić, Novica • Dekić, Vidoslav • Dekić, Biljana • Ranđelović, Vladimir

Detailed GC and GC-MS analysis of a diethyl ether washings of fresh flowers of Dianthus cruentus Griseb. (Caryophyllaceae) enabled the identification of 153 constituents. The major identified compounds were long-chain n-alkanes - pentacosane (5.0 %), heptacosane (19.5 %) and nonacosane (6.5 %). Detailed analyses, in combination with synthesis and chemical transformations (transesterification and synthesis of dimethyl disulfide adducts), led to the identification of a homologous series of n-, iso ...

A transmission length limit for space division multiplexing in step-index silica optical fibers

Savović, Svetislav • Djordjevich, Alexandar • Simović, Ana • Drljača, Branko

By solving the power flow equation, we investigate the influence of mode coupling on space division multiplexing capability of three multimode step-index silica optical fibres with a different strengths of mode coupling. Results show that mode coupling significantly limits the length of these fibres at which the space division multiplexing can be realized with a minimal crosstalk between the neighbour optical channels. This is most pronounced in silica optical fibres with the strongest mode ...

Influence of wavelength on the bandwidth of W-type plastic-clad silica optical fibers

Drljača, Branko • Simović, Ana • Djordjevich, Alexandar • Savović, Svetislav

The bandwidth and steady-state loss of multimode W-type plastic-clad silica optical fibers are investigated by solving the time-dependent power flow equation. The results show how the bandwidth of W-type plastic-clad silica optical fibers can be enhanced by shifting from the red to the infrared wavelength region for different intermediate layer widths and refractive indices of the outer cladding. Such characterization of these fibers is consistent with their manifest effectiveness in reduci ...

Influence of mode coupling on angular division multiplexing in seven-core plastic optical fibers

Savović, Svetislav • Djordjevich, Alexandar • Simović, Ana • Drljača, Branko

We propose an angular division multiplexing in new designed multicore plastic optical fiber with seven cores arranged in a hexagonal array. The influence of mode coupling on two-channel angular division multiplexing capability in each of seven cores is investigated by solving the power flow equation. Our numerical results show that mode coupling significantly limits the fiber length at which the angular division multiplexing can be realized in each of seven cores with a minimal crosstalk be ...

Influence of wavelength on equilibrium mode distribution and steady state distribution in W-type plastic optical fibers

Drljača, Branko • Simović, Ana • Djordjevich, Alexandar • Savović, Svetislav

Wavelength dependence of equilibrium mode distribution (EMD) and steady state distribution (SSD) in W-type plastic optical fibers (POFs) is investigated in this paper for parametrically varied width of the fiber’s intermediate optical layer and refractive index of the outer cladding. We have shown that with increasing the wavelength EMD and SSD are achieved at shorter W-type POF lengths. This is explained by the rise of the leaky mode losses with increasing wavelength. This facilitates tail ...

Savović, Svetislav • Djordjevich, Alexandar • Simović, Ana • Drljača, Branko

We propose a spatial division multiplexing in a new designed multimode multicore graded index plastic optical fiber with nine cores arranged in an octagonal array. The influence of mode coupling on two-channel spatial division multiplexing capability in each of nine cores is investigated by solving the power flow equation. Our numerical results show that mode coupling significantly limits the fiber length at which the spatial division multiplexing can be realized in each of nine cores with ...

Influence of mode coupling on three spatially multiplexed channels in multimode graded index plastic optical fibers

Svetislav, Savović • Djordjevich, Alexandar • Simović, Ana • Drljača, Branko

The influence of mode coupling on three-channel spatial division multiplexing capability in multimode graded index plastic optical fibers is investigated by solving the power flow equation. Our numerical results show that mode coupling significantly limits the fiber length at which the spatial division multiplexing can be realized with a minimal crosstalk between three neighbor spatial optical channels. Three spatial channels in the multimode graded index plastic optical fiber can be employ ...

Influence of the Wavelength on the Bandwidth in W-Type Plastic Optical Fibers

Drljača, Branko • Simović, Ana • Djordjevich, Alexandar • Savović, Svetislav

We investigate the bandwidth and steady-state losses of multimode W-type plastic optical fibers solving the time-dependent power flow equation and show how the bandwidth in W-type plastic optical fibers can be enhanced by increasing the wavelength for different widths of the intermediate layer and refractive indices of the outer cladding. Such characterization of the fibers is consistent with their manifested efficiency in reducing modal dispersion and increasing bandwidth; this fact facilita ...

Influence of width of launch beam distribution and mode coupling on transmission characteristics of W-type plastic optical fibers

Drljača, Branko • Simović, Ana • Djordjevich, Alexandar • Min, Rui • Jovanović, Slavica • Savović, Svetislav

We show strong effects of width of the launch beam’s angular distribution on bandwidth and mode coupling in W-type plastic optical fibers (POFs). In general, the broader this width, the stronger the coupling and the lower the bandwidth—but the bandwidth drop due to this effect tapers off with distance from the input end and ceases at lengths over 25 m as the steady state distribution is reached. With increasing the strength of mode coupling, the equilibrium mode distribution is reached at s ...
