High gain broadband plasmonic slot nano-antenna has been considered. The theory of plasmonic slot nano-antenna (PSNA) has been developed. The analytical model takes into account also the electrical field inside the metal due to imperfectness of metal in optical range, as well as numerical investigation based on finite element method (FEM) has been realized. It should be mentioned that Yagi-Uda ...

A high-gain harmonic-generation free-electron laser is demonstrated. Our approach uses a laser-seeded free-electron laser to produce amplified, longitudinally coherent, Fourier transform-limited output at a harmonic of the seed laser. A seed carbon dioxide laser at a wavelength of 10.6 micrometers produced saturated, amplified free-etectron laser output at the second-harmonic wavelength, 5.3 mi...

A controller is shown to exist, universal for the family of all systems of fixed dimension n, and m controls, which stabilizes those systems that are stabilizable, if certain gains are large enough. The controller parameters are continuous, in fact polynomial, functions of the entries of the plant. As a consequence, a result is proved on polynomial stabilization of families of systems.

Recent experiments [1] have shown that a small number of fiber lasers can spontaneously form coherent states when suitably coupled. The observed synchrony persisted for a long time without any active control. In this paper we develop a dynamical model for fiber laser arrays that is valid in the high gain regime. Analysis and simulations of the model find behaviors in qualitative agreement with ...

In recent years a variety of schemes have been explored for compact, short-wavelength laser sources in solids. These include wide gap semiconductor diode lasers,* nonlinear generation of optical harmonics by phase matching,2 quasiphase matching,3 and upconversion lasers in bulk media4 and fibers.5 In practical terms, while all these approaches have shown promise, all currently exhibit important...

A high-performance CMOS unity-gain current amplifier is proposed. The solution adopts two feedback loops to reduce the input resistance and a nested-Miller technique to provide frequency compensation. A design example using a 0.8 mm process and a 2V supply is given and SPICE simulations show a bandwidth of 75MHz, no slew-rate limitations and a settling time better than 50 ns, irrespective of th...

This paper introduces a novel variation of the vee dipole antenna consisting of two coplanar vee dipoles with a common feed point. It is referred to as a double-vee dipole. Radiation characteristics of the double-vee dipole antenna are investigated numerically and experimentally. It is shown that the double-vee dipole can provide significantly higher directivity and lower sidelobes and back rad...

Simple adaptive controllers based on high gain output feedback suffer a lack of robustness with respect to bounded disturbances. Existing modifications achieve boundedness of all solutions but introduce solutions that, even in the absence of disturbances, do not achieve regulation. In this paper a new modification that achieves the desired robustness without the side-effect of undesirable solut...
