The high-power generation capability of pulsed mode Silicon Double Drift Region (DDR) IMPATT devices has been studied by using generalized simulation software developed by the authors. The software is based on drift-diffusion modeling scheme, incorporating thermal design. After optimization of the device design, it is observed that a maximum efficiency of 9% with an output power of 15W can be a...

The refurbished Z pulsed power driver has been operational since October of 2007 delivering a peak current of ~26 MA to the load. A critical component of the refurbished Z accelerator was the Laser Triggered Gas Switch (LTGS) with a maximum proven operating point of 6.5 MV, 820 kA and an overall 1-σ timing jitter of ~6 ns. We have identified a feature in the V-dot monitor on the Pulse Forming L...

In a quantum-noise limited system, weak-value amplification using postselection normally does not produce more sensitive measurements than standard methods for ideal detectors: the increased weak value is compensated by reduced power due to small probability. Here, we experimentally demonstrate recycled pulsed light source and optical switch enable nearly deterministic of mirror tilt. Using pho...

Our work deals with a new approach to improve the beam quality of diode lasers, which is still insufficient for many applications. We propose time-multiplexing, where several pulsed laser diode beams are guided onto a common optical path. This allows to superpose the power of the diodes while maintaining the beam parameter product of a single laser diode. Pulsed operation of continuous wave las...

Fujikura has achieved an output power of 30 W from a Q-switched pulsed fiber laser with a pulse width about 100 ns for the first time in the world. Following the achievement, we commercialized a 70 W output pulsed fiber laser . In the article, we describe our activities on high-power pulsed fiber lasers, and introduce our 70 W output products. Fujikura’s advanced and original functions of pulse...

This paper proposes a novel nine switch converter based integrated power conditioner in place of conventional twelve switch converter based power conditioner for improving power quality. Space vector modulation scheme is proposed for producing gating signals for nine switch converter. In the proposed integrated power conditioner the nine-switch converter replaces shunt and series converters fou...

The bias-pumped gain-switched fiber laser proposed by us is considered a novel pulsed fiber laser based on a new pulsing mechanism. With a certain signal power seeding, synchronization of temporal evolution can be kept between the output signal laser and the pump. The seed laser can be supplied conveniently by a CW pump power which is named bias pump power. A pulsed pump is responsible for shap...

Flip-flops is perilous timing elements in digital circuits which have a huge influence on the circuit speed and power consumption. The performance of flip-flop is an significant element to regulate the efficiency of the entire synchronous circuit.This paper recommends a low-power and area-efficient shift register using pulsed latches. Therefore area and power consumption are reduced by substitu...
