Melting temperature of nickel by a pulse heating technique

The melting temperature of 99.98⁺ % pure nickel was measured by means of a subsecond duration pulse heating technique. The results, based on IPTS-68, yield a value of 1729 K for the melting temperature with an estimated maximum uncertainty of ±4 K.     

Thin oxide films of silicon by high pressure oxidation

High pressure oxidation of silicon was performed at an oxidation temperature range of 650 to 800°C for thin oxide films with about 300 å thickness. The index of refraction was dependent on an oxidation temperature but independent of the oxidation pressure as 1.475 at 750°C. The dielectric breakdown strength of the oxide film was measured by the voltage ramping,method. The fixed oxide charge about 1.0 × 10¹¹ cm^?2 was also measured from the high frequency C-V measurement. The pulse scanning C-V measurement technique was used to measure the minority carrier generation rate in the depleted surface. The surface generation velocity was slightly dependent on the oxidation temperature and indicated that the fast surface states increased with decreasing oxidation temperature.     

Subsurface radar signal deconvolution

We present two methods of signal deconvolution for systems whose impulse response (wavelet function) can be explicitly determined, and where the goal is to locate short impulses in the presence of strong, reverberation-like interferences.The first method, which we call algebraic deconvolution, differs from other known techniques in two ways: first of all, explicit use of the wavelet function provides more powerful a priori knowledge than the autocorrelation or the power spectrum. Secondly, this method permits to flexibly trade off noise versus resolution.In the second method presented here, we use an analytical model (synthetic wavelet) of the system impulse response to determine an inverse filter.These methods have been developed for video pulse radar signals, and encouraging early results have been obtained.     

Magnetic resonance diffusion imaging of ovarian masses: a first experience with 12 cases

Objective: The objective of the study was to determine the feasibility of using apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurement for the differential diagnosis of malignancy in ovarian masses. Materials and methods: Twelve cases involving ovarian masses were imaged using spin echo diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Five cases involved malignant ovarian masses, on the basis of postoperative histologic examination, and the rest involved benign masses. The ovarian masses were imaged in vivo (10 cases) before surgery and ex vivo (8 cases) after surgical resection. Diffusion-weighted data were corrected for motion using the phase data from unweighted data in nine cases. Multifactorial analysis of variance was used to evaluate the effects of malignancy, location (in vivo versus ex vivo), and motion correction on the measurement of ADC intensity and texture. Results: Motion correction caused an undesirable spatial smoothing of the ADC maps and a significant interaction ( ) was found between location and motion correction. ADC value ( ) and texture ( ) differences were found between malignant and nonmalignant ovarian masses. Conclusion: Measurement of ADC intensity and texture has the potential to differentially diagnose malignancy in individual ovarian masses if the problem of image motion artifact can be eliminated through the use of faster imaging sequences.Acknowledgements.

F-TRIA01: A Fast Bipolar Transimpedance Amplifier

This paper describes a new transimpedance amplifier for fast current pulses delivered by high energy particle detectors. The choice of a bipolar technology allowed a 100 low input impedance and a rise time down to 1 nS. The fully differential current mode architecture provides an excellent linearity and a large versatility as for its transimpedance, bandwidth and power consumption.     

SOA双折射效应对超短光脉冲光谱特性的影响

探讨了半导体光放大器(SOA)中的双折射效应对超短光脉冲光谱特性的影响。双折射使得SOA对光的相位调制具有偏振相关性,TE模和TM模具有不同的光谱分布,从而总的光谱被展宽。研究表明,超短光脉冲在SOA中发生的光谱展宽中,很大程度上是来源于相位调制的偏振相关性,并与SOA的工作电流、光功率和脉冲形状等因素有关;通过在有源区中引进合适的应变和合适的波导设计,有可能消除这种不利影响。
