High power devices in wide bandgap semiconductors

Silicon carbide (SiC) semiconductor devices for high power applications are now commercially available as discrete devices. Recently Schottky diodes are offered by both USA and Europe based companies. Active switching devices such as bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), field effect transistors (JFETs and MOSFETs) are now reaching the market. The interest is rapidly growing for these devices in high power and high temperature applications. The main advantages of wide bandgap semiconductors are their very hi...     

Heterodyne mixing and polarization diversity techniques in radio over fiber system with high sensitivity and dispersion tolerance

We propose and experimentally demonstrate the heterodyne mixing and polarization diversity tech- niques in radio over fiber (ROF) systems with the advantages of high sensitivity and dispersion endurance. The generation of 2.5 Gb/s optical DPSK and PSK signals, fiber propagation and wireless transmission over 15 GHz subcarrier are illustrated with very low sensitivity of -26 and -32 dBm, respectively. Moreover, based on the wireless polarization diversity techniques, we successfully performed the t...     

光进铜退的网络信息安全建设

光进铜退是中国固网运营商中国电信和中国网通为逐步实现光纤接入(FTTx),用光纤代替铜缆所提出的一项工程——中国固网运营商现在所采用的ADSL接入网一般都是局端集中方式,即用户家ADSL Modem需要同电信分局的ADSL局端设备同步信号,这段距离一般超过3公里。这样,距离成为了国内ADSL技术提速的最大问题。所以,"光进铜退"的策略就是将FTTx技术同ADSL技术相结合,尽可能缩短ADSL局端设备(DSLAM)同用户家这段铜线的距离,以提供高带宽接入。

双悬臂梁式光纤Bragg光栅位移传感器

位移测量装置利用测量杆通过楔形块作用在固定于底座的等强度悬臂梁上,其中,光纤Bragg光栅粘贴于其中一块等强度悬臂梁外表面的中心线处。在测量中,当测量杆产生位移时,会带动楔形块产生相应的位移,并促使等强度悬臂梁的自由端产生扰度变化,从而导致粘贴于等强度悬臂梁外表面的光纤Bragg光栅产生波长移位。实验表明,当位移增加或者减少时,位于中心测点的光纤Bragg光栅的实验灵敏度分别为正行程0.015nm/mm,反行程为0.014nm/mm,重复性误差为2.2%;正行程的线性度为0.99728,反行程的线性度为0.99684,迟滞为0.0626%FS。

Impact of ZnO gate interfacial layer on piezoelectric response of AlGaN/GaN C-HEMT based ring gate capacitor

We report on a piezoelectric response investigation of AlGaN/GaN circular high electron mobility transistor (C-HEMT) based ring gate capacitor as a new stress sensor device to be potentially applied for dynamic high-pressure sensing. A ring gate capacitor of C-HEMT with an additional ZnO gate interfacial layer was used to measure the changes in the piezoelectric charge induced directly by the variation of piezoelectric polarization of both gate piezoelectric layers (AlGaN, ZnO) for harmonic loading at different excitation frequences. Our experimental results show that about 10 nm thick piezoelectric ZnO layer grown on ring gate/AlGaN interface of C-HEMT can yield almost a 60% increase in the piezoelectric detection sensitivity of the device due to its higher piezoelectric coefficient. A three-dimensional CoventorWare simulation is carried out to confirm the increase in the measured piezoelectric response of ZnO based ring gate capacitor of C-HEMT.
