Mode beating in spot-size converter lasers

An anomalous modulation in the wavelength spectrum has been observed in lasers with spot-size converters. This intensity modulation is shown to be caused by beating between the fundamental lasing mode and radiation modes in the taper. This results in a periodic modulation in the net gain spectrum, which causes wavelength jumps between adjacent net gain maxima, and a drive current dependent spectral width that is expected to affect system performance. The amplitude of this spectral modulation is reduced significantly by either using an angled rear-facet which reflects the beating radiation modes away from the laser axis, or by using a nonlinear, adiabatic taper.

Buck变换器的输出短路火花放电能量及输出本质安全判据

为得出Buck变换器的输出本质安全判据, 基于安全火花试验装置, 对其输出短路火花放电特性进行了试验研究, 发现其放电过程可分为介质击穿、火花产生、火花维持和火花熄灭四个阶段.基于得出的火花放电特性, 对其输出短路火花放电能量进行了深入分析, 指出对于给定电感的Buck变换器, 当负载电阻 R_L小于给定电感对应的临界电阻R_LC时, 火花放电能量是关于R_L的凹函数; 而在R_L > R_LC时, 是关于R_L的凸函数.考虑到实际的参数取值范围, 进一步指出: R_L < R_LC时的火花放电能量随R_L的增加而增大, 且在R_L=R_LC时达到最大值; 而在R_L > R_LC时, 则随着R_L的增加, 先增大后减小, 在增加到特征电阻R_{L, DCM}时达到最大值. 得出了变换器在全动态范围内的最危险工况: 变换器在输入电压最高及负载电阻等于R_{L, DCM} 时工作于DCM, 此时, 短路火花放电能量达到最大值.基于能量等效, 提出了可模拟变换器输出短路放电特性的等效简单电容电路及输出本质安全判据, 仿真和试验结果验证了理论分析及所提出判据的正确性和可行性. 关键词： Buck变换器 本质安全 短路火花放电能量 输出本质安全判据     

D/A Converters and Iterated Function Systems

This paper discusses A/D and D/A converters as applications of iterated function systems. We describe operation of basic converters in terms of iterate function systems and introduce typical examples for binary and Gray encodings/decodings. We then comment that converters in the field of analog signal processing have different character from iterated function systems in the field of nonlinear dynamical systems. Simple implementation circuits for the binary and Gray D/A converters are also shown.     

Distribution and speciation of platinum group elements in environmental matrices

The use of platinum group elements (PGEs) as components of autocatalytic converters attached to motor vehicles has resulted in serious contamination of the environment by Pt, Rh and Pd in nanocrystalline forms. Trace concentrations of PGEs, particularly the major component Pt, in environmental samples have been measured by sensitive instrumental procedures. These data have raised further questions about the nature of Pt species in contaminated soils and in plants grown in them. The focus of attention is changing from accumulations of data expressing total concentrations to investigations of speciation. Application of analytical procedures for research on speciation has provided information concerning transformations of Pt compounds in contaminated soils, the uptake of Pt by plants and the nature of Pt compounds in vegetation. Determination of background levels of precious metals in clinical and environmental matrices has required the development of analytical methods which combine uses of minimal quantities of reagents, and as small a number of chemical operations as possible to yield very low procedural blanks. Sensitive instrumental methods based upon high resolution inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry and adsorptive stripping voltammetry have proven to be valuable for this work.
