A New Method to Investigate InGaAsP Single-Photon Avalanche Diodes Using a Digital Sampling Oscilloscope

A near-infrared single-photon detection system is established by using pigtailed InGaAs/InP avalanche photodiodes. With a 50GHz digital sampling oscilloscope, the function and process of gated-mode （Geiger-mode） single-photon detection are intuitionally demonstrated for the first time. The performance of the detector as a gated-mode single-photon counter at wavelengths of 1310 and 1550nm is investigated. At the operation temperature of 203K,a quantum efficiency of 52% with a dark count probability per gate of 2.4 × 10 ^-3 ,and a gate pulse repetition rate of 50kHz are obtained at 1550nm. The corresponding parameters are 43%, 8.5 × 10^-3 , and 200kHz at 238K.

Construction of a broadband impedance spectrum and synchronous DC voltammetry measurement system for solar cells

The current impedance spectroscopy measurement techniques face difficulties in diagnosing solar cell faults due to issues such as cost,complexity,and accuracy.Therefore,a novel system was developed for precise broadband impedance spectrum measurement of solar cells,which was composed of an oscilloscope,a signal generator,and a sampling resistor.The results demonstrate concurrent accurate measurement of the impedance spectrum(50 Hz-0.1 MHz)and direct current voltametric characteristics.Comparative analysis with Keithley 2450 data yields a global relative error of approximately 6.70%,affirming the accuracy.Among excitation signals(sine,square,triangle,pulse waves),sine wave input yields the most accurate data,with a root mean square error of approximately 13.3016 and a global relative error of approximately 4.25%compared to theoretical data.Elevating reference resistance expands the half circle in the impedance spectrum.Proximity of reference resistance to that of the solar cell enhances the accuracy by mitigating line resistance influence.Measurement error is lower in high-frequency regions due to a higher signal-to-noise ratio.

Measurement of soil electrical conductivity based on direct digital synthesizer(DDS)and digital oscilloscope

A soil electrical conductivity(EC)measurement system based on direct digital synthesizer(DDS)and digital oscilloscope was developed.The system took the“current-voltage four-electrode method”as the design principal and adopted a six-pin structure of the probe,two center pins to measure the soil EC in shallow layer,two outside pins to measure the soil EC in deep layer,and two middle pins for inputting the driving current.A signal generating circuit using DDS technology was adopted to generate sine signals,which was connected with the two middle pins.A digital oscilloscope was used to record and store the two soil output signals with noises in microseconds,which were from the two center pins and two outside pins,respectively.Then a digital bandpass filter was used to filter the soil output signals recorded by the digital oscilloscope.Compared with the traditional analog filter circuit,the digital filter could filter out the noises of all frequency except for the frequency of the excitation source.It could improve the effect of filtering and the accuracy of the soil EC measurement system.The DDS circuit could provide more stable sine signals with larger amplitudes.The use of digital oscilloscope enables us to analyze the soil output signals in microseconds and measure the soil EC more accurately.The new soil EC measurement system based on DDS and digital oscilloscope can provide a new effective tool for soil sensing in precision agriculture.

An experiment to estimate the revolution of DC motor

In this paper we have reported a simple and cost effective lab level experiment to determine the revolution of DC motor at various voltages.This experiment is designed on the basis of laser light pulses observed in cathode ray oscilloscope(CRO)output through an aperture.These output waveforms are directly related with the revolution of DC motor.A laser light beam was allowed to pass through a slot attached with the shaft of DC motor.The outcoming light is in the form of light pulses that falls on the photodetector which was connected to CRO.The frequency of light pulses is the function of applied voltage to DC motor.The CRO output was measured at different voltages.The visual waveforms on CRO interpret the different values of revolutions per minute(rpm)at different values of voltages given to DC motor.Analysis was made to determine the voltage depended revolution.

Earth’s Serious Anisotropy, Non-Inertiality, Ether, Gain of Free Energy, Revealed, Part 2

The present paper is of historic importance as well as the second part of [1]. In this second part, we detect important details about the orbit of the Earth and about the velocity (of magnitude 217 km/s) of the solar system around the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Some of these details concern the perihelion and aphelion of the orbit of the Earth. For several years we have observed that the return pulses, on the oscilloscope screen, appear to be more energetic than the initial pulses (See Part 1, Figure 2, for which the blue return pulse crests are much higher than the yellow initial crests). The used oscilloscope is and only must be, a storage oscilloscope, in other words, a computerized oscilloscope with a digital memory. The first oscilloscopes like this, came out, only after 1995, a relatively recent time that all wire velocity experiments and measurements were already completely investigated by science. We do astronomy, without receiving images by an astronomical telescope, but instead by sending signals around a loop and making an analysis using the same oscilloscope as in Part 1. We recommend to the reader to study Part 1 as a prerequisite. The Earth surface is accelerating with a centripetal acceleration, due to its rotation, thus it is not an inertial frame. Also, the Earth is evidently anisotropic, due to the same rotation, a second reason for it being a non-inertial rotating frame.

Measurement Analysis in Electrochemical Discharge Machining （ECDM） Process： A Literature Review

Electrochemical discharge machining is considered to be a hybrid machining process that combines with EDM and ECM （electro chemical machining）, called ECDM. The material removal is based on two phenomena： electrochemical dissolution of the material and thermal erosion of electrical discharges that occur between the cathode ＆ anode electrodes. This process is better used for machining of non conducting materials efficiently. In this research paper shows that a brief literature review study of various measuring instruments used for analysis of various parameters of the electrochemical discharge machining process on various types of materials, tool material, input ＆ output parameters such as surface roughness, surface texture, material removal, tool wear etc..

A Method for Measuring LC Resonance Frequency by Impulse Response

LC circuit resonance frequency measurement often requires the use of professional analysis instruments such as LCR meters,vector network analyzers,but currently such instruments on the market are expensive,and it is difficult for non-professional institute personnel to access.Here comes unnecessary trouble.In view of this situation,a test method for measuring the resonance frequency using only a digital storage oscilloscope is proposed.Using the impulse signal to obtain the system response,the response waveform period can be observed through the oscilloscope.

Accurate and robust estimation of phase error and its uncertainty of 50 GHz bandwidth sampling circuit

This paper discusses the dependence of the phase error on the 50 GHz bandwidth oscilloscope＇s sampling circuitry. We give the definition of the phase error as the difference between the impulse responses of the NTN （nose-to-nose） estimate and the true response of the sampling circuit. We develop a method to predict the NTN phase response arising from the internal sampling circuitry of the oscilloscope. For the default sampling-circuit configuration that we examine, our phase error is approximately 7.03° at 50 GHz. We study the sensitivity of the oscilloscope＇s phase response to parametric changes in sampling-circuit component values. We develop procedures to quantify the sensitivity of the phase error to each component and to a combination of components that depend on the fractional uncertainty in each of the model parameters as the same value, ±10%. We predict the upper and lower bounds of phase error, that is, we vary all of the circuit parameters simultaneously in such a way as to increase the phase error, and then vary all of the circuit pa- rameters to decrease the phase error. Based on Type B evaluation, this method qualifies the impresses of all parameters of the sampling circuit and gives the value of standard uncertainty, 1.34°. This result is developed at the first time and has important practical uses. It can be used for phase calibration in the 50 GHz bandwidth large signal network analyzers （LSNAs）.

100 Gb/s all-optical clock recovery based on a monolithic dual-mode DBR laser

We experimentally demonstrate all-optical clock recovery for 100 Gb/s return-to-zero on-off keying signals based on a monolithic dual-mode distributed Bragg reflector （DBR） laser, which can realize both mode spacing and wavelength tuning. By using a coherent injection locking scheme, a 100 GHz optical clock can be recovered with a timing jitter of 530 fs, which is derived by an optical sampling oscilloscope from both the phase noise and the power fluctuation. Furthermore, for degraded injection signals with an optical signal-to-noise ratio as low as 4.1 dB and a 25 km long distance transmission, good-quality optical clocks are all successfully recovered.
