The radial basis network is used as the finline discontinuities electromagnetic artifical neural network(EMANN) models. EM software analysis is employed to characterize finline discontinuities. EMANN models are then trained using physical parameters and frequency as inputs and equivalent electric circuit element parameters of finline discontinuities as outputs. Once trained , the EMANN models can simulate equivalent electric circuit element parameters of finline step, notch and strip very fast and efficiently.     

Knowledge-Based Artificial Neural Network Models for Finline

Finline plays an important role in millimeter-wave integrated-circuit design. In this paper, a knowledge-based artifcial neural network is used to model the finline. Using prior knowledge input method and Bayesian regularization technique make the neural network models for finline reduce the amount of training data needed and prevent overfitting in neural network training. The neural network is electromagnetically developed with a set of training data that are produced by the fnite element method, which is robust both from the angle of time of computation and accuracy.

Infrared frequency upconverter for high-sensitivity imaging of gas plumes

A remote methane detection system has been developed using a single-frequency tunable optical parametric oscillator at 3.4 microm infrared wavelength. The infrared received light is converted by a frequency upconverter with a strong pump beam to near-infrared wavelength at 0.81 microm and detected by a sensitive photomultiplier. The conversion efficiency of the upconverter was 40% for the backscatter signal from a topographic target, and the detector sensitivity was 11 times higher than that of the cooled InAs detector. By raster scanning the infrared beam, imaging was realized for the methane gas plume with an accuracy of 20 parts in 10(6)m at the range of ~2m.     

High speed optical sampling covering C band and L band using CPPLN waveguide

Two means of high speed optical sampling covering C band and L band based on sum frequency generation (SFG) in chirped periodically poled LiNbO₃(CPPLN) waveguide are studied in this paper. For the first method, arbitrary waveband inside C and L band can be sampled by tuning pump wavelength and the bandwidth is controllable by choosing suitable waveguide length and chirped coefficient of CPPLN waveguide. For another, the broad bandwidth covering C band and L band can be obtained with a fixed pump. The numerical simulations based on coupled-wave equations are carried out. The NRZ sequences of 10 Gb/s and 640 Gb/s transmission rate are sampled in simulation. Distinct eye diagrams and quality factors (Q) are obtained by software-synchronized algorithm. The results show that the two means of the optical sampling both can cover C band and L band. SFG in CPPLN waveguide used for optical sampling system has a broad bandwidth and more flexible selectivity.     

Two-electron band to band transitions in silicon

Radiative two-electron band to band transitions are investigated experimentally in silicon. The question of phonon-participation is investigated. It turns out that at low temperature the phononless transitions dominate, whereas above room-temperature the phonon-assisted transitions become more important. A theoretical discussion leads to the conclusion that at least one participating phonon is an acoustical one.

Accurate Design of Finline Tapers for Millimeter Wave Applications

The design of nonuniform bilateral finlines on anisotropic substrates for millimeter wave applications is presented. The taper consists of a planar circuit with smooth variation of the slot width profile along the structure. The spectral domain method and Galerkin procedure are combined with the transmission line theory for studying the behavior of tapered bilateral finlines and evaluation of their design parameters. The influence of the substrate anisotropy on the propagation characteristics of these structures is also examined. This technique is general and can be applied to investigate a broad class of planar transmission line tapers.     

Inherently gain flattened L band TDFA based on W-fiber design

We present here a detailed theoretical analysis for realizing an inherently gain flattened L⁺ band thulium doped fiber amplifier (TDFA), based on a depressed inner-clad (W-fiber) design, wherein the inherent gain flattening is achieved by an optimized bend induced leakage loss. The leakage loss characteristics of W-fiber have been used to suppress higher wavelength amplified stimulated emission (ASE) in the designed TDFA, which otherwise depletes the population inversion in the amplifier, making it almost impossible to obtain high gain for wavelengths in and close to the conventional L-band. It has been shown through simulations that 20 dB net gain (±0.3 dB ripple) is achievable over 32 nm bandwidth (1604-1636 nm), using this design pumped with 160 mW of power. We also show that inherent gain flattening leads to redistribution of power among signal wavelengths, and hence an inherently gain-flattened TDFA is much more efficient as compared to a configuration that uses discrete filters for gain flattening. The net gain value and gain flattening of the designed TDFA module have been tested against tolerance with respect to fiber parameters as well as bend radius. This is for the first time to the authors knowledge that inherently gain flattened L⁺ band operation has been shown using TDFAs.
