While negativity in phase space is a well-known signature of nonclassicality, wide variety nonclassical states require their characterization beyond negativity. We establish framework nonclassicality that addresses comprehensively with direct experimental evidence. This includes the phase-space distribution as special case and further analyzes quantum positive distributions effectively. prove i...

The topic of this thesis is related to testing of very large scale integration circuits. The thesis presents the idea of optimizing mixed-mode built-in self-test (BIST) scheme. Mixed-mode BIST consists of two phases. The first phase is pseudo-random testing or partial pseudo-exhaustive testing (P-PET). For the faults not detected by the first phase, deterministic test patterns are generated and...

Abstract Fourier domain mode-locked (FDML) lasers are some of the fastest wavelength-swept light sources, and used in many applications like optical coherence tomography (OCT), OCT endoscopy, Raman microscopy, detection ranging, two-photon microscopy. For a deeper understanding underlying laser physics, it is crucial to investigate field evolution FDML clarify whether provides frequency comb st...
