<span lang="EN-GB">DC grids can effectively feed pulsed power loads (PPLs), integrating local energy storage to minimize the impact on other connected and implementing buffered sub-grids isolate susceptible even more. The identification of regulatory limits for PPL integration DC grid response assessment necessitate suitable Power Quality (PQ) metrics. Existing indexes (e.g. ripple distor...

With the increase in consumer awareness, demand for minimally processed foods and ecofriendliness, various technologies were developed for food processing and preservation. The conventional thermal food preservation and processing techniques appears to have the shortcoming of adversely affecting the food quality, organoleptic properties and nutrients. However, many non-thermal food preservation...

Here we report a compact monolithic 2000nm pulsed laser with a single spatial mode output, ~1.5ns pulse duration, 8kW peak power and >200mW average power at 20 kHz repetition rate. The gain-switched laser, consisting of a pair of fiber Bragg gratings and 0.5m of thulium-doped single cladding fiber, was core pumped by a high peak power pulsed 1.5 m laser. When the input pulse energy of the 20 kH...

function is to promote a greater understanding of the proper application of air power within the Australian Defence Force and in the wider community. This is being achieved through a variety of methods including development and revision of indigenous doctrine, the incorporation of that doctrine into all levels of RAAF training, and increasing the level of air power awareness across the broadest...

Power consumption is an increasing concern in VLSI circuits. To meet the energy requirements new logic circuits have been developed alternatively to standard CMOS. The so-called adiabatic families reduce energy consumption due to the use of a pulsed power supply. A slowly varying voltage source requires less energy to charge a capacitance if its period is longer than the time constant of the ch...

A pulsed power supply with a compact and low-cost electric-double-layer-capacitor (EDLC) is developed for generating magnetic fields long pulse duration of few seconds. The system demonstrated in three experimental setups using 10.7 F- or 50 F-EDLC capacitor bank. By the bank 27 mm wide-bore magnet, field peak strength 24.3 T ∼1 s generated. profiles are reproduced theoretical calculations taki...

Electrically pumped vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) can produce hundreds of mW's of 976 nm CW output in a TEM00 mode when operated with an external cavity configuration. During pulsed operation (<50ns) a significant increase in the peak power is observed, compared to CW operation. High peak powers makes these lasers very well suited for intra-cavity frequency doubling with a no...
