The implementation of what we believe to be the first stored-program digital optical computer is described. The implementation domain consists of lithium niobate directional couplers that are modified to provide optical control and are interconnected with single-mode fiber. The architecture is also the first to employ time-of-flight synchronization. That is, there are no flip-flops used as sync...

This study demonstrates the flexible white LED structure with high lumen efficiency and uniform optical performance for neutral white and warm white CCT. Flip-chip LEDs were attached on a polyimide substrate with copper strips as electrical and thermal conduction paths. Yellow phosphors are mixed with polydimenthysiloxane (PDMS) to provide mechanical support and flexibility. The light efficienc...

We demonstrate that efficient optical pumping of nuclear spins in semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) can be achieved by resonant pumping of optically forbidden transitions. This process corresponds to one-to-one conversion of a photon absorbed by the dot into a polarized nuclear spin, and also has potential for initialization of hole spin in QDs. We find that by employing this spin-forbidden proc...

We have demonstrated laser cooling of a single electron spin trapped in a semiconductor quantum dot. Optical coupling of electronic spin states was achieved using resonant excitation of the charged quantum dot (trion) transitions along with the heavy-light hole mixing, which leads to weak yet finite rates for spin-flip Raman scattering. With this mechanism, the electron spin can be cooled from ...

A demonstration of a high-power, high-speed 980 nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser array with continuous-wave power of greater than 120 mW and frequency response over 7.5 GHz at room temperature is reported. Experimental results show that copper plating the array elements and flip-chip bonding provides effective thermal management as well as offering uniform current distribution at micro...

We examine the scattering of charged pions from the trinucleon system at a pion energy of 180 MeV. The motivation for this study is the structure seen in the experimental angular distribution of back-angle scattering for π +-3 He and π −-3 H but for neither π −-3 He nor π +-3 H. We consider the addition of a double spin flip term to an optical model treatment and find that, though the contribut...

Understanding the mechanism of cisplatin (CDDP) action may improve therapeutic strategy for ovarian cancer. Although p53 and FLICE-like inhibitory protein (FLIP) are determinants of CDDP sensitivity in ovarian cancer, the interaction between p53 and FLIP remains poorly understood. Here, using two chemosensitive ovarian cancer cell lines and various molecular and cellular approaches, we show tha...

This paper explores the energy-delay space of eight widely referred flip-flops in a 0.13μm CMOS technology. The main goal has been to find the smallest set of flip-flop topologies to be included in a “high performance” flip-flop cell library covering a wide range of power-performance targets. Based on our comparison results, transmission gate-based flipflops show the best power-performance trad...
