    摘要: An optical modulator device comprised of a semiconductor laser acoustically coupled to a thin film resonator is disclosed herein. The thin film resonator includes a piezoelectric crystal layer having first and second opposing surfaces, with the first opposing surface being in contact with a metallic electrode. The semiconductor laser is interposed between an acoustically reflective surface and the second surface of the thin film resonator. In a preferred implementation the acoustically reflective surface is defined by a submount underlying a substrate upon which is mounted the semiconductor laser.A frequency modulator exhibiting an improved modulation index may be achieved by integrating a superlattice structure within the active region of the semiconductor laser. The superlattice structure will preferably include a cascaded stack of stacked pairs, each stack pair constituent being of a thickness equivalent to a multiple of one-half of the wavelength of optical emission produced by the semiconductor laser of the superlattice.The optical device may also be implemented in the form of a phase modulator disposed to provide a phase-modulated optical output of predetermined frequency. Phase modulation is produced in the absence of appreciable frequency modulation by configuring the thin film resonator to be of a longitudinal length less than that of the semiconductor laser.

    摘要: The invention provides tapered-width micro-cantilevers and micro-bridges that give additional design parameters for controlling and synthesizing pull-in (i.e., actuation) voltages. The pull-in voltage of a tapered-width micro-cantilever is generally a function of the taper function of the width along the length, the initial width, and the length of the micro-cantilever. By controlling these design parameters, a specific pull-in voltage for a micro-cantilever is obtained. The formula for a pull-in voltage is determined based on the geometry of the micro-cantilever device and a plurality of derived pull-in voltages. The pull-in voltage is derived by iteratively solving a displacement vector as a function of applied voltage across the micro-cantilever device and setting the pull-in voltage to the voltage at which the solution does not converge. The formula is derived for linear-tapered width, parabolic-tapered width and exponential-tapered width micro-cantilevers.

    摘要: When an oscillator is required to operate at high frequencies, there may be more than one frequency that can provide the required 360.degree. phase shift in the feedback signal, and thus more than one oscillating frequency. The present invention eliminates prior art inductors in assuring (for oscillators having an odd number of stages) that there is only a single range of frequencies having the desired phase shift in the feedback loop. In a three-stage oscillator, this is accomplished by designing the circuit to have 120.degree. of phase shift in each stage at the desired oscillatory RF frequency, but 180.degree. of phase shift at near DC frequency.

    摘要: An n-way power divider, particularly useful where n.noteq.2.sup.x, includes an input and a plurality of outputs. The power applied to the input is coupled to the outputs, and phase shifters are associated with at least some of the outputs. The phase shift provided by each of the phase shifters is determined such that the reflected power waves from each of the outputs appearing at the input cancel. Because the circuit is reciprocal, it can also be used as a signal combiner with appropriately phased power-wave vectors at the inputs.

    摘要: A fiber-based, magneto-optic (MO) optical modulator or switch based on Sagnac interferometry is provided. The system uses a magneto-optic Faraday rotator (MOFR) to produce optical modulation with low magnetic fields. The Sagnac geometry allows for increased modulation at lower fields than traditional MO modulators. This switch uses the MOFR to create different states of polarization in counter-propagating waves, which results in interference at the output port. A magnetic field is used to control the amount of rotation in the state of polarization (SOP), and therefore, the ON-OFF extinction ratio.

    摘要: A buff is made from a non-woven fabric where the fibers are first carded and formed into a fairly thick fleece. The fleece is passed over a topographical surface on, for example, a moving belt or a drum. The fleece is subject to a bow-tie hydroentanglement process where many fine jets of water entangle the fibers on the topographical surface. Excess water is vacuumed from the system. The fabric is dried and chemically treated. With the fabric a variety of buffing tools are made, in wheel, belt or roll form. Tests against standard and mill treatment buffs show a remarkably lower fabric weight loss percentage and lower or normal operating temperatures. The fabric has exceptional mechanical strength having a tensile strength in excess of 650 N/50 mm according to DIN 29073/3. Preferably the fabric has a tensile strength of at least 1,000 N/50 mm in the machine direction and in excess of 900 N/50 mm in the cross direction according to such DIN.

    摘要: A broadband microwave active inductor circuit for producing a flat inductive response versus frequency comprises a pair of bipolar transistors arranged in a gyrator configuration for producing an active inductance. Because the transistors exhibit intrinsic characteristics which influence the inductive response of the active inductor circuit, a feedback network is connected to the gyrator configuration to compensate for the intrinsic characteristics of the transistors so that the active inductor circuit realizes a flat inductive response over a wide range of frequencies including microwave frequencies.

    摘要: A single circuit which provides forward biasing, input impedance matching and voltage input limiting to a transistor which has a source, gate and drain terminal is presented. Biasing, input matching and limiting for a transistor is accomplished using two inductor coils, five crystal diodes, a positive voltage source, and three resistors. The forward biasing is achieved using three resistors, and the third, fourth and fifth crystal diode. The third resistor connects the drain terminal of the transistor to the positive voltage source. The second resistor connects the junction between the third resistor and the drain terminal to the transistor's gate terminal. The fourth and fifth crystal diodes are connected in series between the source terminal and the common electrical ground. The first resistor and third diode are connected in parallel between the transistor's gate terminal and the common electrical ground. Limiting of the input voltages over the gate terminal is accomplished by the first and second crystal diodes which are connected in series with each other and in a parallel circuit with the first resistor/diode and the common electrical ground. Finally, input impedance matching is accomplished by the two inductor coils which are connected in series with the gate terminal with the first three diodes and first resistor between them. The parasitic impedances of the three cyrstal diodes create a shunt capacitor in parallel with the first resistor. The shunt capacitor to ground and second inductor coil provide impedance matching to the transistor.
