    摘要: A multi-loop phase locked loop (PLL) system with noise attenuation has a first PLL including a local oscillator, a second PLL coupled to an output of the first PLL, and a third PLL in a feedback path between the second PLL and first PLL. A first phase comparator compares an input signal with the first feedback signal to generate a first phase error signal for the first PLL. The first phase error signal is multiplied by a scaling factor k determining the amount of noise attenuation. The third PLL has a bandwidth preferably at least ten times higher than the second PLL so that the overall transfer function of the second and third PLLs is approximately the transfer function of the second PLL. The transfer function of the third PLL is multiplied by a scaling factor 1/k. This arrangement allows the use of an uncompensated local oscillator in the first PLL. The noise generated in the uncompensated local oscillator is reduced by the attenuation factor k.

    摘要: A method and system are provided for improving maintenance of timing information when a node enters holdover due to a lost connection between a sub-network and a reference clock. Each node within the sub-network sends information concerning the drift of its local oscillator to a single node, and the single node uses this information to determine timing information for the entire sub-network. The single node may also use knowledge of the characteristics of the local oscillators. In this way, drift from the reference clock can be minimized without incurring significant added hardware costs.

    摘要: In an OCT system, the autocorrelation signal depends only on the strength of the signal in the object arm scattered back from a patient's retina and is a result of different reflections from different layers of the retina interfering with each other. The strength of the autocorrelation signal depends on how well focused the system is. Normally the autocorrelation signal is treated as noise. However by removing the reference path signal, the autocorrelation signal is easily measured and analyzed. The optimal focus can the then be found by adjusting the focus value until the autocorrelation signal is maximized.

    摘要: In a computer-implemented method of adjusting a local clock at a receiver in a packet network, the local clock is generated by a phase locked loop locked to a master clock with the aid of time-stamped timing packets arriving over the network from the master clock with a packet delay distribution about a nominal delay. The timing packets are filtered to adjust for the packet delay distribution. A control input for the phase locked loop is derived from the timing packets. The amount of skew in the packet delay distribution about the nominal delay is determined, and the arrival times of timing packets are then selectively modified to correct for the amount of skew in the packet delay variation distribution prior to filtering the timing packets.

    摘要: A polarizing beam splitter has a pair of opposed transparent prism substrates with a refractive index n0, and providing at least one input port and at least one output port. The input port accepts light incident over a range of operational angles including a central operational angle. A multilayer thin film structure is sandwiched between the pair of opposed transparent substrates and consists essentially of a plurality of layers l1 . . . lm having respective refractive indices n1 . . . nm, wherein at least three of said refractive indices n1 . . . nm are different, and wherein the refractive index of the substrates n0 lies between the highest refractive index nH and lowest refractive index nL, and wherein nH, nL and n0 define a Brewster angle θ0B: θ 0 ⁢ B = arcsin ( n L ⁢ n H n 0 ⁢ n L 2 + n H 2 ) , and a critical angle θc: θ C = arcsin ⁡ ( n L n 0 ) . The refractive indices n0 and n1 . . . nm are selected such that the central operational angle for a beam incident on the multiple thin film structure lies above the Brewster angle θ0B and such that most or all the operational angles defined by said input port lie above the Brewster angle θ0B. For p-polarized light at least one optical admittance of the layers with refractive indices n1 . . . nm is lower or very close to that of the optical admittance of the substrate for the operational angles such that the thin film polarizing beam-splitter favors the transmittance for p-polarized light incident at that input port such that most of the p-polarized light is transmitted through the multiple thin film structure. For s-polarized light the polarizing beam-splitter acts as a high reflective coating to favor the reflectance for s-polarized light incident at the input port such that most of the s-polarized light is reflected from said multiple thin film structure. The polarizing beam splitter is compact and yet remains functional over a wide range of operational angles.
