β¦ Synopsis
UO operations in UNIX are inherently synchronous. The need for asynchronous UO comes first from multithreaded applications where thrads cannot block for UO, and second from the fact that asynchronous VO has much less overhead than synchronous UO. There are two main approaches to accomplishing asynchronous UO in UNIX. We compare the two approaches in design and implementation, and report the results of extensive experiments to measure the performance differences.

The features of degenerate multi-wave mixing in resonant media (dye solutions) have been studied theoretically and experimentally. It has been demonstrated that thermal nonlinearity due to the induced absorption from the excited level contributes significantly to the efficiency of four-wave mixing,
