Current Feedback Amplifiers (CFA) are discussed in this report. Current Feedback Amplifiers employ the current mode of signal processing to achieve higher gain-bandwidth product and greater slew rates than those of a Voltage Feedback Amplifier (VFA). The Current Feedback Amplifier topology has an inherent advantage over that of the the Voltage Feedback Amplifier, wherein the amplifier gain can ...

We study the combined effects of dynamic gain saturation and two-photon absorption on the amplification of short pulses in semiconductor optical amplifiers and show that two-photon absorption can saturate the amplifier gain and limit the output pulse energies even for amplifiers with large gain saturation energies. We discuss the upper limits for the pulse energies obtainable from semiconductor...

An applications-oriented review of optical parametric amplifiers in fiber communications is presented. The emphasis is on parametric amplifiers in general and single pumped parametric amplifiers in particular. While a theoretical framework based on highly efficient four-photon mixing is provided, the focus is on the intriguing applications enabled by the parametric gain, such as all-optical sig...

The top shows current source amplifiers used with a loop array, the bottom shows ultra-low output impedance amplifiers used with a partially decoupled rung array. The current source amplifiers provide higher levels of decoupling, but are unable to generate as much current as the ultra-low output impedance amplifiers. 7333 A Comparison of Isolating Amplifier Architectures Neal Hollingsworth, Kat...

The class-D power amplifiers which operate in a switched mode have become an attractive alternative of the conventional analog power amplifiers class-A, B and AB in the field of audio applications. They offer high power efficiency compared to analog power amplifiers and can be realised as completely digital power amplifiers. This paper briefly overviews the basic concepts of analog and digital ...

Gallium Nitride (GaN) amplifiers have demonstrated very high power density as well as wide band width in previous research. This paper examines their use in supplying flat gain, power, and linearity across a large band width. It demonstrates two types of power amplifiers: a Ft Doubler (FT2) amplifier and a Cascode amplifier, both of which require a simple PCB tune. Both amplifiers show 0.2 to 4...

In this paper an efficient high step-up converter with a coupled- inductor with soft- switching operation is presented. The proposed topology includes a coupled-inductor boost converter for raising the voltage gain. Moreover, a simple auxiliary resonant circuit composed of an auxiliary switch, a clamping diode and a resonant tank (inductor, capacitor), is adopted in this paper. The coupled-indu...
