چکیده

Since the invention of the laser by Theodore H Maiman 50 years ago, lasers have found widespread applications in various technological fields, such as telecommunications, industrial production [1], and sensor and measurement equipment. While the focus in communications is on achieving high transmission frequencies in the GHz range, in industrial production the main objective is often high, pulsed light power in the ultra-short nanosecond range. In laser sensor and measurement applications the challenges of the design of fast driver circuits is a very demanding task. This White Paper describes the design of fast driver circuits, PCB layouts and optical measurement considerations, as well as a solution to achieve an ideal design for pulses as short as 2.5 ns.

A Fast and Self-Repairing Genetic Programming Designer for Logic Circuits

Usually, important parameters in the design and implementation of combinational logic circuits are the number of gates, transistors, and the levels used in the design of the circuit. In this regard, various evolutionary paradigms with different competency have recently been introduced. However, while being advantageous, evolutionary paradigms also have some limitations including: a) lack of con...

نقش محرک سریع در روش افروزش سریع- شوکی

This paper deals with the role of fast ignitor in fast-shock ignition (FSI) concept. The semi-analytical model indicates that the FSI target gain is a function of fast ignitor laser wavelength. If the energy of fast ignitor driver is and the laser wavelength is less than 0.53 micron, then with a fuel mass about 2 mg the FSI has a considerable advantage over pure shock ignition and the figure o...

Design and Test of New Robust QCA Sequential Circuits

   One of the several promising new technologies for computing at nano-scale is quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA). In this paper, new designs for different QCA sequential circuits are presented. Using an efficient QCA D flip-flop (DFF) architecture, a 5-bit counter, a novel single edge generator (SEG) and a divide-by-2 counter are implemented. Also, some types of oscillators, a new edge-t...
