We present the procedure for designing a high speed and low power all-optical analog to digital converter (AO-ADC), by integrating InGaAsP semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with InP based photonic crystal (PhC) drop filters. The self-phase modulation in the SOA can shift the frequency of the Gaussian input pulse. The two output PhC based drop filters are designed to appropriately code the f...

The paper presents an original architecture and implementation of 9-bit Linearized Pulse Width Modulator (LPWM) for Class-BD amplifier, based on the hybrid method using STM32 microcontroller Programmable Tapped Delay Line (PTDL). analog input signals are converted into 12-bit PCM signals, then directly transformed 32-bit LBDD DPWM data pulse-edge locations within n-th period switching frequency...

We have developed an ultrabroad-band regenerative amplifier with a mirrorless cavity to eliminate the limitation of bandwidth of dielectric coats on cavity mirrors. A large amount of material dispersion in Pellin-Broca prisms which are used instead of the cavity mirrors is compensated using a hybrid technique of Brewster prism pairs in the regenerative amplifier and an adaptive phase controller...

This paper describes a digital realization of a click modulator for a class-D digital audio power amplifier. The click modulator is an interesting alternative to a classical pulse width modulator. The modulator was realized using a floating point digital signal processor ADSP21065L and FPGA circuit Spartan 3 XC3100E. Some simulation and laboratory test results are presented in this paper. Stres...

The multilevel inverter topology gives the advantages of usage in high power and high voltage application with reduced harmonic distortion without a transformer. This paper presents a comparative study of nine level diode clamped inverter for constant Switching frequency of sinusoidal Pulse width Modulation and sinusoidal Natural Pulse width Modulation with switching frequency Optimal Modulation.

This paper presents a technique to improve the performance of laser phase-shift range finders. The phase measurement is performed by using a new method to extract the phase-shift data from the peak of received and transmitted intermediate frequency signal amplitudes. The pulse width modulation is used to minimize the noise effect and enhance the signal amplitude measurement. The advantages of p...

In this study, a new numerical method is introduced to obtain the exact shape of output pulse in the chalcogenide fiber Bragg grating (FBG). A Gaussian pulse shape with 173 ps width is used as an input pulse for lunching to a 6.6 mm nonlinear FBG. Because of bistable and hysteresis nature of nonlinear FBG the time sequence of each portion of pulse is affected the shape of output pulse. So we di...

Introduction: Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is a process in which the membrane of the cancer cells are irreversibly damaged with the use of high-intensity electric pulses, which in turn leads to cell death. The IRE is a non-thermal way to ablate the cancer cells. This process relies on the distribution of the electric field, which affects the pulse amplitude, width, and electrical conducti...
