A single pulse modulation and pseudorandom coded pulse modulation are utilized for water vapor DIAL in this paper. The water vapor profiles conducted from these modulation techniques are compared to the real observation data in summer in Japan. As a result, the single pulse modulation is appropriate for near region measurement, while pseudorandom coded pulse modulation is appropriate for far re...

This paper presents a measurement circuit structure for capturing SET pulse-width suppressing pulse-width modulation and within-die process variation effects. For mitigating pulse-width modulation while maintaining area efficiency, the proposed circuit uses massively parallelized short inverter chains as a target circuit. Moreover, for each inverter chain on each die, pulse-width calibration is...

Transmission Line Pulse is a short pulse (25ns to 150ns) measurement of the current-voltage (I/V) characteristics of the ESD protection built into an integrated circuit. The short TLP pulses are used to simulate the short ESD pulse threats and integrated circuit must tolerate without being damaged. In this work the fundamental principles of how the TLP pulse is generated and used to create I-V ...

The Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) collides a beam of electrons and positrons at 92 GeV. It is the first colliding linac, and produces Zo particles for High-Energy Physics measurements. The energy of each beam must be measured to one part in lo4 on every collision (120 Hz). An Energy Spectrometer in each beam line after collision produces two stripes of highenergy synchrotron radiation with cri...

A detailed uncertainty analysis is presented for the pulse parameter measurement service of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, USA). It relates to the new pulse parameter measurement and extraction processes. Uncertainties for pulse amplitude, transition duration, overshoot and undershoot (preshoot) are given. Effects of temperature variation, impulse response estimate, p...

We show that the usual phase-matching-bandwidth constraint in ultrashort-laser-pulse measurement techniques is overly restrictive. Specifically, the phase-matching bandwidth need not exceed the pulse bandwidth on every pulse. Instead, only the phase-matching bandwidth integrated over the measurement period need exceed the pulse bandwidth. We show that angle-dithering a second-harmonic-generatio...
