Abstract:

A modulated holding beam shining a VCSEL above threshold can improve modulation bandwidth by adjusting the semiconductor laser’s relaxation oscillation frequency. The improved modulation characteristics are accompanied by reduced damping rate. By choosing correct parameters, dynamical behavior of system and cavity solitons is changed.

A Novel Multilevel Ac–Dc-Ac Converters with Improved Efficiency

Multilevel inverter technology has emerged recently as a very important alternative in the area of high power medium-voltage control and also for improving the total harmonic distortion by reducing the harmonics. Generally, the poor quality of voltage and current of a conventional inverter fed induction machine is obtained due to the presence of harmonics and hence there is a significant level ...

A 15Gb/s AC-coupled VCSEL Driver with Waveform Shaping in 65nm CMOS

A Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) driver in 65nm CMOS selectively-enables parallel low-power CMOS drivers to shape the output current waveforms and compensate VCSEL nonlinearities. The CMOS waveform-shaping drivers are AC-coupled allowing them to operate from a 1-V supply to save power, while parallel low-frequency paths provide programmable DC biasing from a 3-V supply. The meas...

Intensity modulated dose calculation with an improved experimental pencil-beam kernel.

PURPOSE This article presents an improved pencil-beam dose calculation formalism based on an experimental kernel obtained by deconvolution. The new algorithm makes it possible to calculate the absorbed dose for all field sizes. METHODS The authors have enhanced their previous work [J. D. Azcona and J. Burguete, Med. Phys. 35, 248-259 (2008)] by correcting the kernel tail representing the cont...

Improved safety of retinal photocoagulation with a shaped beam and modulated pulse

Shorter pulse durations help confine thermal damage during retinal photocoagulation, decrease treatment time and minimize pain. However, safe therapeutic window (the ratio of threshold powers for rupture and mild coagulation) decreases with shorter exposures. A ring-shaped beam enables safer photocoagulation than conventional beams by reducing the maximum temperature in the center of the spot. ...

Pulse Width Modulated Igbt Ac Chopper

A new circuit is presented for three-phase voltage controller (AC chopper) constructed from IGBTs. Traditionally such an equipment contains thyristors as switching elements. All drawbacks of this solution come from its only possible control method: firing control. The new circuit allows Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control, providing much better properties. A new and advantageous control method...
