摘要:
Methods and apparatus for implementing stable self-starting and self-sustaining high-speed electrical nonlinear pulse (e.g., soliton, cnoidal wave, or quasi-soliton) oscillators. Chip-scale nonlinear pulse oscillator devices may be fabricated using III-V semiconductor materials (e.g., GaAs) to attain soliton pulse widths on the order of a few picoseconds or less (e.g., 1 to 2 picoseconds, corresponding to frequencies of approximately 300 GHz or greater). In one example, a nonlinear pulse oscillator is implemented as a closed loop structure that comprises a nonlinear transmission line and a distributed nonlinear amplifier arrangement configured to provide a self-adjusting gain as a function of an average voltage of the oscillator signal. In another example, a nonlinear oscillator employing a lumped nonlinear amplifier and a nonlinear transmission line in a closed loop arrangement may be used in combination with a two-port nonlinear transmission line that provides additional pulse compression for pulses circulating in the oscillator.

In one example, a nonlinear pulse oscillator is implemented as a closed loop structure that comprises a nonlinear transmission line, an improved high-pass filter, and a nonlinear amplifier configured to provide a self-adjusting gain as a function of an average voltage of the oscillator signal, to provide a pulse waveform having a desired target amplitude. In one implementation, the nonlinear amplifier and high pass filter functions are integrated in a two stage nonlinear amplifier/filter apparatus employing complimentary NMOS and PMOS amplification components and associated filtering and feedback circuitry configured to essentially implement an electric circuit analog of a saturable absorber via an adaptive bias control technique.

Methods and apparatus utilizing the quantum inductance of one-dimensional (ID) nanoscale structures (e.g., nanowires, carbon nanotubes). In one exemplary circuit implementation, all elements of a high-frequency circuit path are constituted by nanoscale structures without significant intervening structures (e.g., metal contacts) that would introduce undesirable resistance in the high-frequency circuit path. In this manner, the deleterious effects of contact resistance (e.g., metal-to-nanostructure interfaces) on the quality factor associated with the quantum inductance, and ultimately operation of the circuit, may be significantly reduced or avoided.

Provided is an electronic fountain candle, comprising a transparent or semitransparent outer cylinder (9), a battery compartment, a flow-guiding cover (10), an LED/water pump assembly (4), and a control board (3). The outer cylinder (9) is a hollow tube body. The battery compartment is an inverted cup-shaped body, the opening of the cup facing down, the bottom of the cup being on the top, and the cup-shaped body being sleeved inside the outer cylinder (9). A water storage chamber is located at the interior wall of the outer cylinder (9), above the bottom of the battery compartment cup. The LED/water pump assembly (4) is mounted inside the water storage chamber, and comprises: being equipped with an LED-PCB board (42) for an LED, as well as a water pump (43) and a water drainage pipe (41). The LED-PCB board (42) is waterproofed, and the water outlet of the water pump (43) is connected to the water drainage pipe (41). The flow-guiding cover (10) is provided with a flow-guiding hole, and the water drainage pipe (41) is in communication with the flow-guiding hole. The peripheral edge of the flow-guiding cover (10) is lower than the upper end face of the outer cylinder (9), and there is a gap, used for draining water, between the flow-guiding cover (10) and the inner wall of the outer cylinder (9). The control board (3) is mounted inside the battery compartment, and the LED/water pump assembly (4) is electrically connected to the control board (3). The LED of the electronic fountain candle simulates the weak light of a conventional lamp, while the circulation of water simulates the sound of flowing water in a natural environment, creating a natural and tranquil ambiance.
