We have designed a laser system for the Linac Coherent Light Source rf photoinjector consisting of a Ti:Sapphire oscillator and 2 amplifiers using Chirped Pulse Amplification. The output after tripling will be 0.5 mJ tunable UV pulses at 120 Hz, with wavelength around 260 nm, pulsewidth of 10 ps FWHM and 200 fs rise and fall times. Amplitude stability is expected to be 1% rms in the UV and timi...

We have measured the joint Q-function of a highly multimode field using unbalanced heterodyne detection with a charge-coupled device array detector. We use spectral interferometry between a weak signal field and a strong, 100 fs duration local oscillator pulse to reconstruct the joint quadrature amplitude statistics of about 25 temporal modes. By adjusting the time delay between the signal and ...

We study the effect of a randomly modulated harmonic driving on the phase behavior of a nonlinear oscillator. A multiple-scale analysis shows that the system is formally equivalent to a rocked oscillator, in which a modulated harmonic driving locks the system at one of two phases, both of which are in quadrature with that of the driving. This theoretically predicted noise-induced bistable phase...

To qualify the condition of a multi standard and a multi band transceiver, a quadrature voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), which has a wide and proper tuning range, is necessary, while providing high phase noise performance and consuming low current. In this paper, a dual band quadrature VCO in 0.18 μm CMOS process is proposed. To attain the dual band operation, a reconfigureurable LC tank is...

This paper presents the design of a new four-stage ring oscillator with quadrature outputs using a 0.13μm CMOS 1P8M technology. The oscillator utilizes feed-forward technique and negative resistance to reduce the delay per stage and provides high frequencies. Employing single PMOS transistor to vary the load impedance allows reaching ultra-wide tuning range. The output frequency ranges from 0.8...

Nowadays, the All-Digital Phase-Locked Loop (ADPLL) as a digital electronic circuit is applied in modern communication systems. The main components of ADPLL such as phase detector, loop filter and voltage controlled oscillator which are all digitally discussed in detail. On the other hand, sensitivity to parasitic mismatches in LC oscillators and the limitation of the robustness and the quantiz...

We report experimental results of frequency tuning, stabilization, and beat-note phase noise measurements of a type-II phase-matched potassium titanyl phosphate (KTP) doubly resonant optical parametric oscillator (OPO). Three types of OPO cavity design were constructed and experimented for their mechanical stability and frequency tunability. Four tuning elements were employed in our 2-element a...

Synthetic biology has enabled the creation of biological reconfigurable circuits, which perform multiple functions monopolizing a single biological machine; Such a system can switch between different behaviours in response to environmental cues. Previous work has demonstrated switchable dynamical behaviour employing reconfigurable logic gate genetic networks. Here we describe a computational fr...

As an application of the simultaneous and continuous measurement noncommutative observables formulated in our previous paper [C. Jiang G. Watanabe, Phys. Rev. A 102, 062216 (2020)], we propose a scheme to generate pure ideal quadrature-squeezed state one-dimensional harmonic oscillator system by feedback control based on such type quadrature observables. We find that, appropriately setting stre...
