Non-inverting multi-mode oscillator

Title: Non-inverting multi-mode oscillator

Abstract

Various technologies described herein pertain to non-inverting multi-mode oscillators. An oscillator circuit can include a non-inverting sustaining amplifier and a feedback network. The non-inverting sustaining amplifier includes an amplifier input and an amplifier output. The feedback network includes a crystal, an input portion, and an output portion. The crystal of the feedback network can be connected between the amplifier input and the amplifier output of the non-inverting sustaining amplifier. The input portion of the feedback network can be connected between the amplifier input and ground, and can include an inductor realized using a tank circuit. Further, the output portion of the feedback network can be connected between the amplifier output and ground, and can include a capacitor. Moreover, the crystal can operate in series resonance mode or parallel resonance mode.

Active/passive mode-locked laser oscillator

Patent Fountain, William D [Fremont, CA]; Johnson, Bertram C [Palo Alto, CA]

A Q-switched/mode-locked Nd:YAG laser oscillator employing simultaneous active (electro-optic) and passive (saturable absorber) loss modulation within the optical cavity is described. This "dual modulation" oscillator can produce transform-limited pulses of duration ranging from about 30 psec to about 5 nsec with greatly improved stability compared to other mode-locked systems. The pulses produced by this system lack intrapulse frequency or amplitude modulation, and hence are idealy suited for amplification to high energies and for other applications where well-defined pulses are required. Also, the pulses of this system have excellent interpulse characteristics, wherein the optical noise between the individual pulses of themore »« less

Single mode pulsed dye laser oscillator

Patent Hackel, Richard P [Livermore, CA]

A single mode pulsed dye laser oscillator is disclosed. The dye laser oscillator provides for improved power efficiency by reducing the physical dimensions of the overall laser cavity, which improves frequency selection capability.

Capacitively readout multi-element sensor array with common-mode cancellation

Patent Britton, Jr., Charles L. (Alcoa, TN); Warmack, Robert J [Knoxville, TN]; Bryan, William L [Knoxville, TN]; ...

An improved multi-element apparatus for detecting the presence of at least one chemical, biological or physical component in a monitored area comprising an array or single set of the following elements: a capacitive transducer having at least one cantilever spring element secured thereto, the cantilever element having an area thereof coated with a chemical having an affinity for the component to be detected; a pick-up plate positioned adjacent to the cantilever element at a distance such that a capacitance between the cantilever element and the pick-up plate changes as the distance between the cantilever element and the pick-up plate varies,more »« less

Multi-mode radio frequency device

Patent Gilbert, Ronald W [Morgan Hill, CA]; Carrender, Curtis Lee [Morgan Hill, CA]; Anderson, Gordon A [Benton City, WA]; ...

A transponder device having multiple modes of operation, such as an active mode and a passive mode, wherein the modes of operation are selected in response to the strength of a received radio frequency signal. A communication system is also provided having a transceiver configured to transmit a radio frequency signal and to receive a responsive signal, and a transponder configured to operate in a plurality of modes and to activate modes of operation in response to the radio frequency signal. Ideally, each mode of operation is activated and deactivated independent of the other modes, although two or more modesmore » may be concurrently operational.« less

Real-time multi-mode neutron multiplicity counter

Patent Rowland, Mark S; Alvarez, Raymond A

Embodiments are directed to a digital data acquisition method that collects data regarding nuclear fission at high rates and performs real-time preprocessing of large volumes of data into directly useable forms for use in a system that performs non-destructive assaying of nuclear material and assemblies for mass and multiplication of special nuclear material (SNM). Pulses from a multi-detector array are fed in parallel to individual inputs that are tied to individual bits in a digital word. Data is collected by loading a word at the individual bit level in parallel, to reduce the latency associated with current shift-register systems. Themore »« less
