We compare the properties of subwavelength imaging in the visible wavelength range for metal-dielectric multilayers operating in the canalization and the resonant tunnelling regimes. The analysis is based on the transfer matrix method and time domain simulations. We show that Point Spread Functions for the first two resonances in the canalization regime are approximately Gaussian in shape. Mate...

3.3kV high speed IGBT module was developed. Optimized lifetime control realized drastically decreasing of both of turn off loss and recovery loss. This high speed characteristic is suitable for bi-directional and medium frequency application such as resonant DC/DC converter. IGBT switching and diode reverse recovery behaviour at resonant DC/DC converter modelled circuit were demonstrated. Obvio...

A third order harmonic oscillator has been proposed based on the resonant tunneling diode pair oscillators. This oscillator has significant advantages, good stability of the oscillation frequency against the load impedance change together with capability to output higher frequencies. Proper circuit operation has been demonstrated using circuit simulations. It has been also shown that the output...

By spectrally slicing a single longitudinal-mode from a master weak-resonant-cavity Fabry-Perot laser diode with transient wavelength scanning and tracking functions, the broadened self-injection-locking of a slave weak-resonant-cavity Fabry-Perot laser diode is demonstrated to achieve bi-directional transmission in a 200-GHz array-waveguide-grating channelized dense-wavelength-division-multipl...

In NMR the polarisation of the Zeeman system may be routinely probed and manipulated by applying resonant rf pulses. As with spin-1⁄2 nuclei, at low temperature the quantum tunnelling states of a methyl rotor are characterised by two energy levels and it is interesting to consider how these tunnelling states might be probed and manipulated in an analogous way to nuclear spins in NMR. In this pa...

The time evolution of plane waves in the presence of a 1-dimensional square quantum barrier is considered. Comparison is made between the cases of an infinite and a cut-off (shutter) initial plane wave. The difference is relevant when the results are applied to the analysis of the tunnelling regime. This work is focused on the analytical calculation of the time-evolved solution and highlights t...

This paper provides an Analog Behavioral Model (ABM) in PSpice of a tunnel diode The PSpice parameters are implemented as separate parameterized blocks constructed from SPICE (ABM) controlled sources and extracted through experiment. A tunnel diode based oscillator is also proposed and simulated using circuit analysis software. The behavior of the tunnel diode is simulated and compared to the m...

This paper proposes a new resonant gate driver circuit for a soft switching synchronous buck converter in a fixed load condition. The switching energy can be fully recovered during current commutation phase in the gate driver while the diode conduction losses in the low and high side switches can be substantially reduced by employing additional L and C resonant in the circuit. Using PSpice simu...
