Abstract

In this paper, the graded index (GI) multimode rare-earth metal (RE-M) doped polymer optical waveguide amplifier has been prepared and tested optically. A 10-cm Europium Aluminum Benzyl Methacrylate ( was fabricated via a unique technique known as the “Mosquito Method” which utilizes a micro-dispenser machine. Optical gain from 75 to 150 µm circular core diameter waveguide of 13 wt.% concentration has been demonstrated and measured under forward pumping condition. The cladding monomer deployed in this research is Acrylate resin XCL01, which is a modified photocurable acrylate material. Fundamentally, -30 decibel (dBm) red light signal input and 23 dBm pump power of 532 nm green laser wavelength is implemented within the range of 580 to 640 nm optical amplification wavelength. A maximum gain of 12.96 dB at 617 nm wavelength has been obtained for a 100 µm core diameter of Eu-Al polymer optical waveguide. The effect of different coupler diameter for pumping and the comparison of insertion loss before and after amplification against the performance of the Eu-Al polymer waveguide amplifier are also studied. There exists an optimum core diameter of which the amplifier gain enhancement is at maximum value.

Abstract

Vortex-induced vibration (VIV) poses a critical threat to the integrity and fatigue life of marine and offshore structures. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a truncated cone fouling suppression device in reducing VIV of a low-mass ratio circular cylinder. Experiments were performed in a circulating water flume at Reynolds numbers ranging from 8,000 to 45,000, using various surface coverage ratios. The vibration amplitude and frequency responses were analyzed to determine suppression performance. Results showed that the device reduced oscillation amplitude by up to 68% within the lock-in region, with optimal suppression observed at 25-50% coverage. This indicates that partial surface modification enhances flow–structure interaction and weakens wake coherence. Furthermore, a bibliometric analysis was integrated to identify research trends and gaps in passive vibration control. The present approach provides both scientific and practical insights for developing low-drag, efficient, and sustainable VIV mitigation strategies in marine engineering.
