A temperature-modulated pyroelectricity measurement system for a small single crystal is developed and applied to standard sample measurements performed on thin of lithium niobate. The modulation based the AC technique, in which temperature periodically oscillated, synchronized pyroelectric signal extracted using lock-in amplifier. Temperature by irradiating periodic light placed heat exchange ...

We report on the experimental observation of quantum-network-compatible light described by a nonpositive Wigner function. The state is generated by photon subtraction from a squeezed vacuum state produced by a continuous wave optical parametric amplifier. Ideally, the state is a coherent superposition of odd photon number states, closely resembling a superposition of weak coherent states |alpha...

The Top-Hat hot electron light emission and lasing in semiconductor heterostructure (HELLISH)-vertical-cavity semiconductor optical amplifier (THH-VCSOA) is a bidirectional light-emitting and light-absorbing heterojunction device.The device contains 11 Ga0.35In0.65 N0.02As0.08/GaAs MQWs in its intrinsic active region which is enclosed between six pairs of AlAs/GaAs top distributed Bragg reflect...

This report describes the development of a transimpedance amplifier that takes current as input and gives voltage as output. The amplifier consists of three CMOS amplifier stages in a fed-back configuration, achieving a transimpedance gain over 3 kΩ and a 3-dB bandwidth greater than 2.8 GHz. The amplifier operates with a 1.5 V supply voltage and a power budget of 30 mW.

The main difference in topology of a boost bridgeamplifier and state-of-the-art class-D amplifier is in theconnection of a loudspeaker between a power supply and aswitching bridge. The boost bridge amplifier provides fourtimes higher peak power at the loudspeaker than the power,which can be achieved by a class-D amplifier from the samepower supply. Total harmonic distort...

We have developed a large-aperture, flash-lamp-pumped Cr:LiSrAlF(6) (Cr:LiSAF) amplifier for use in a femtosecond chirped-pulse amplifier system. Optimum design of the 19-mm-diameter amplifier results in a single-pass gain of 5 with good beam quality. This amplifier produces 1.05-J pulses after compression, with a width of 125 fs at a repetition rate of 0.05 Hz.

In this paper, we have developed a high power solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) for Sband military radars. The SSPA consists of a high power amplifier (HPA) module combined GaN based power amplifier pallets, a drive amplifier (DA) module, a digital control module and a power supply unit. The SSPA shows the total output power of 62 dBm in S-band.

Large bit-line capacitance is one of the main bottlenecks to the performance of on-chip caches. New sense amplifier techniques need to explicitly address this challenge. This paper describes two sensing techniques to overcome this problem: a current sense amplifier (CSA) and a charge transfer sense amplifier (CTSA) and their implementation based on 90nm CMOS technology. The current sense amplif...

Analysis and simulation are presented of the mismatched load condition for a balanced class-E power amplifier, which is based on 90° hybrids at its input and output. The performances of the 200-Watt balanced class-E amplifier, such as the output power and efficiency, were analyzed and compared to the conventional single-ended class-E power amplifier for the 1:3 VSWR mismatch condition. The simu...

We describe the design and operation of a unique hydraulic press for the study of scintillator materials under isostatic pressure. This press, capable of developing a pressure of a gigapascal, consists of a large sample chamber pressurized by a two-stage hydraulic amplifier. The optical detection of the scintillation light emitted by the sample is performed, through a large aperture optical por...
