Optical interference filters utilizing tunable refractive index layers are shown to have higher spectral fidelity as compared to conventional filters consisting of non-tunable refractive index layers. To demonstrate this increase in spectral fidelity, we design and compare a variety of optical interference filters employing both tunable and non-tunable refractive index layers. Additionally, a f...

At 14:30 I will give a short introduction to my thesis You are most welcome to attend the introduction, the defense and the reception afterwards. Abstract Tunable on-chip Radio Frequency (RF) filtering is highly desirable for cost effective wireless communication devices. As mobile wireless devices increasingly support multiple RF-bands, tunable RF filtering is wanted. The tremendous growth of ...

By controlling the thickness of the grating depth with chemical beam epitaxy (CBE) growth time, we report in this letter the design and performance of an integrated tunable detector. A carefully designed tunable active filter, which allows only one below threshold Fabry-Perot mode for operation, is integrated with a waveguide detector. The full tuning range of this kind of tunable device can no...

We propose and demonstrate a tunable erbium-based fiber ring laser with power-equalized output. When a mode-restricting intracavity fiber Fabry-Perot tunable filter (FFP-TF) is combined, the proposed resonator can guarantee a tunable laser oscillation. This proposed laser can obtain the flatter lasing wavelength in an effectively operating range of 1533.3 to 1574.6 nm without any other operatin...

Tunable 2∼3-μm femtosecond lasers are of high interest in various applications, such as medical diagnostics and molecular spectroscopy. Cr:ZnSe/ZnS is extremely suited for broadband tunable due to its excellent emission bands. In this article, we demonstrate a wavelength-tunable Kerr-lens mode-locked Cr:ZnS laser by utilizing birefringent filter. The group delay dispersion the operation thickne...

This paper overviews the history of a class of varactor tuned bandpass filters. Since the miniaturization as well as the high performance of the tunable bandpass filters is required for the next generation mobile communication systems, the discussion is focused on the various planar type tunable filters including active configurations. Brief design concepts of various tunable filter configurati...

A low voltage square root domain filter based on the MOSFET square law is proposed. Through the verification of HSPICE simulation, the extendibility and the reliability of the design procedure are proven. A design technique for current-mode square-root domain band-pass filter simulation in a 0.18 μm CMOS process. The basic building block consists of current-mode current mirrors, square-root cir...

We introduce the autozeroing floating-gate (AFGA) secondorder section. We built this second-order filter where the corner frequency and are electronically tunable based on a classic filter topology and principles of operational transconductance amplifiers. We built this secondorder filter using three AFGAs—our floating-gate amplifier that sets its operating point by the interaction of hot-elect...
