We report on our first results of a dispersion-managed monolithic polarization-maintaining ultrafast Thulium-doped fiber oscillator. The design incorporates only commercially available components and emits linearly polarized light with polarization extinction ratio over 17 dB . observed optical pulse spectra up to 10 nm width centered at 1961.5 beyond the water absorption lines support sub-1 ps...

In this paper noise analysis of non-linear oscillator circuits are discussed. For this purpose the physical based concept of dissipative Hamiltonian systems should be applied to a certain class of systems with limit cycle behavior.

A three-dimensional study of transverse mode evolution in a free-electron laser (FEL) oscillator is presented. The total electromagnetic field circulating in the resonator is represented as a superposition of transverse modes of the cavity. Coupled-mode theory is employed to derive a generalized 3-D steady-state oscillation criterion. from which the oscillator superrnode can be found analytical...

Parametric resonance has been well established in many areas of science, including the stability of ships, the forced motion of a swing and Faraday surface wave patterns on water. We have previously investigated a linear parametrically driven torsional oscillator and along with other groups have mentioned applications including mass sensing, parametric amplification, and others. Here, we thorou...

A theoretical relation is presented between the seismological Fourier amplitude spectrumand the mean squared value of the elastic response, which is defined by Gaussian distribution. Byshifting a general process to its mean value, spectrum of the mean squared value of the displacementis computed from the Fourier amplitude spectrum and the real part of the relative displacementtransfer function ...

Two very linear ramp-generator designs are presented. The circuits are to be used in high-resolution ADC built-in-self-test (BIST) and on-chip calibration. The first design is to charge a capacitor by a small current, which is linear enough to test 14-bit ADCs. The second design is in a relaxation oscillator architecture. It is linear enough to test up to 12-bit ADCs. The two designs have been ...

Using only linear interactions and a local parity measurement we show how entanglement can be detected between two harmonic oscillators. The scheme generalizes to measure both linear and nonlinear functionals of an arbitrary oscillator state. This leads to many applications including purity tests, eigenvalue estimation, entropy, and distance measures--all without the need for nonlinear interact...

We describe a quantum system consisting of a one-dimensional linear chain of n identical harmonic oscillators coupled by a nearest neighbor interaction. Two boundary conditions are taken into account: periodic boundary conditions (where the nth oscillator is coupled back to the first oscillator) and fixed wall boundary conditions (where the first oscillator and the nth oscillator are coupled to...
