We demonstrate experimentally that the frequency resolved optical switching (FROSt) method is independent of polarization direction pulse to be characterized. In this perspective, it employed characterize two or three co-propagating pulses linearly polarized in orthogonal directions, enabling retrieve simultaneously their temporal intensity and phase profiles together with group delay. This tec...

we solve the coupled mode equations governing the chalcogenide nonlinear fiber bragg gratings (fbgs) numerically, and obtain the bistability characteristics. the characteristics of the chalcogenide nonlinear fbgs such as: switching threshold intensity, bistability interval, on-off switching ratio are studied. the effects of fbg length and its third order nonlinear refractive index on fbg charac...

We investigate the roto-breathers recently observed in experiments on Josephson ladders subjected to a uniform transverse bias current. We describe the switching mechanism in which the number of rotating junctions increases. In the region close to switching we find that frequency locking, period doubling, quasi-periodic behaviour and symmetry breaking all occur. This suggests that a chaotic dyn...

Silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET has the potential to replace silicon (Si) IGBT due to its superior switching performance. However due to presence of parasitic inductance in converter layout, device voltage and current experience overshoots and oscillations during device switching. These undesired overshoots increase switching loss. In the context of these parasitic inductances, the performance of ...

A soft switching three-transistor push-pull(TTPP)converter is proposed in this paper. The 3rd transistor is inserted in the primary side of a traditional push-pull converter. Two primitive transistors can achieve zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) easily under a wide load range, the 3rd transistor can also realize zero-voltage-switching assisted by leakage inductance. The rated voltage of the 3rd tra...

Dual-frequency cholesteric liquid crystal (DFCLC) devices characteristically require high operation voltage, which hinders their further development in thin-film-transistor driving. Here we report on a lower-voltage switching method based on the thermodielectric effect. This technique entails applying a high-frequency voltage to occasion dielectric oscillation heating so to induce the increase ...

The regulation on power line communication (PLC) has been eased in Japan, and the frequency band between 2 and 30 MHz can be used for in-home PLC. Several different types of commercial PLC equipment are available in the market. Almost all of them include PLC adapters that interconvert Ethernet signals and power line signals. An in-home network can easily be constructed by using these PLC adapte...

We introduce a mechanism that provides an on/off switching capability in channel add-drop filter structures. These filters consist of two waveguides, a bus and a drop, coupled through a frequency-selective element. The switching functionality is achieved by incorporating materials with variable absorbing characteristics into the coupling element. When the variable material displays minimum abso...
