Noise characterization of analog to digital converters for amplitude and phase noise measurements
2017
International audience; Improvements on electronic technology in recent years have allowed the application of digital techniques in phase noise metrology where low noise and high accuracy are required, yielding flexibility in systems implementation and setup. This results in measurement systems with extended capabilities, additional functionalities and ease of use. In most digital schemes the Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) set the ultimate performance of the system, therefore the proper selection of this component is a critical issue. Currently, the information available in literature describes in depth the ADC features only at frequency offsets far from the carrier. However, the perfo…
Performance analysis of dual-pump nonlinear amplifying loop mirror mode-locked all-fibre laser
2019
We numerically characterise, in the three-dimensional space of adjustable cavity parameters, the performance of a recently reported layout of a flexible figure-8 laser having two independently pumped segments of active fibre in its bidirectional ring (Smirnov et al 2017 Opt. Lett. 42 1732–5). We show that this optimisation problem can be efficiently addressed by applying a regression model based on a neural-network algorithm.
Perturbation of the oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction with polyethylene glycol
2003
The effects of the water soluble non-ionic polymers poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG-400, PEG-900 and PEG-2000) and poly(ethylene glycol dimethylether) (MPEG-2000) on the dynamics of the cerium ion catalyzed oscillatory Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reaction were investigated in a stirred batch reactor by measuring CO2 evolution rate and Ce(IV) absorbance changes. Addition of increasing amounts of additives strongly influences all the oscillatory parameters (induction period, time period and amplitude) to an extent that depends on the type of the additive used. The polymer perturbation effects are compared with those previously obtained with methanol and ethylene glycol (1). All these experimental ob…
