Cavity-locked ring-down spectroscopy

Slow down, enzymes at work

the hormone relied on the sympathetic nervous system, the branch that pumps out adrenaline during emergencies but at other times emits a hormonal trickle to maintain a low level of stimulation. This baseline activity was lower in mice lacking the leptin receptor, indicating a connection between leptin and the sympathetic nervous system. When that connection was broken by deleting the adrenaline...

Verification of a Locked CFD Approach to Cool Down Modeling

Increasing demand on the performance of Subsea Production Systems (SPS) suggests a need for more detailed investigation of fluid behavior taking place in subsea equipment. Complete CFD cool down analyses of subsea equipment are very time demanding. The objective of this paper is to investigate a Locked CFD approach, which enables significant reduction of the computational time and at the same t...

Pound-Drever-Hall-locked, frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectrometer.

We describe a high sensitivity and high spectral resolution laser absorption spectrometer based upon the frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FS-CRDS) technique. We used the Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) method to lock the probe laser to the high-finesse ring-down cavity. We show that the concomitant narrowing of the probe laser line width leads to dramatically increased ring-down even...

A Fast-Locked Bang-Bang All-Digital Phased-Locked Loop Using Successive-Approximation Frequency-Search Algorithm

Digital system such as system-on-chip microprocessor generally requires Phased-Locked Loop (PLL) for clock generation. However, traditional analog PLL typically contains several important components not included in a standard cell library, such as resistor and low leakage capacitor, which makes it difficult to integrate into a digital system. In addition, its performance is limited by process, ...
