We report a set of measurements to demonstrate a new type of surface emitting distributed feedback (DFB) quantum cascade laser (QCL) operated at 3.5 THz as local oscillator by pumping a superconducting hot-electron bolometer (HEB) mixer. The second order DFB surface emitting THz QCL, based on the Bragg gratings incorporated into the waveguide, shows single mode emission at 3.555 THz, which is only 4 GHz off from the hydroxyl (OH) line. This frequency can be slightly tuned by operating current or temperature. Because of the radiation being emitted from the surface, the far-field beam is much improved, with a divergent far field beam pattern only in one direction. We also notice that in the far field beam pattern, unlike conventional metal-metal waveguide QCLs, there are no interference patterns. All these make it possible to fully pump a superconducting NbN HEB mixer with a surface emitting DFB QCL at 60 K, and even at 70 K based on the estimated power.

In this paper, we propose the two quasi-sliding mode control for bilinear systems. By proper choice of the parameters in the control law, the system states will move within the quasi-sliding mode control band. Finally, the simulations are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.

A unified drain current model for undoped or lightly doped double-gate (DG) and surrounding-gate (SRG) MOSFETs incorporating velocity saturation effect are presented in this paper. The unified charge-based core model for undoped or lightly doped DG and SRG MOSFETs is presented first. Caughey-Thomas engineering mobility model with exponent factor n=2 is then integrated self-consistently into the unified drain current model derivation of the two device structure. Extensive two dimensional (2D) and three dimensional (3D) device simulations are performed to validate the proposed model. Symmetry property of the proposed unified current model is obtained with the exponent factor n=2 in Cauhey-Thomas Model.

This paper presents a Park transform-based method for preprocessing stator current data from a motor and transforming it into a form that is useful for fault detection and diagnostics. The proposed method generates power signatures that are invariant to the initial electrical angle of the voltage when the motor is connected to the utility, and can also adapt to variations in the electrical angle of the supply voltage over time. A modified nonlinear least squares algorithm identifies and tracks the parameters of the supply voltage over time, ensuring that the supply voltage and the argument of the Park transformation remain synchronized. Experimental results are presented that illustrate the method's effectiveness for identifying changes in the mechanical load on a 3/4 HP refrigeration compressor.

A correlation between the gated-diode R-G current and the performance degradation of SOI n-channel MOS transistor after F-N stress test has been demonstrated in this paper. Due to increase of interface traps after F-N stress test, the generation-recombination (R-G) current of the gated-diode in the SOI-MOSFET architecture increases while the performance characteristics of MOSFET transistor such as the saturation drain current and sub-threshold slope generate degradation. From a series of experimental measurements of the gated-diode and the SOI-MOSFET DC characteristics, a linear decrease of the drain saturation current and increase of the threshold voltage as well as the like-line rise of the sub-threshold swing and the corresponding degradation of the trans-conductance are also observed. These results provide theoretical and experimental evidences for us to use the gated-diode tool to monitor SOI-MOSFET degradation.

Superconducting heterodyne receiver has played a vital role in the high resolution spectroscopy applications for astronomy and atmospheric research up to 2THz. NbN hot electron bolometer (HEB) mixer, as the most sensitive mixer above 1.5THz, has been used in the Herschel space telescope for 1.4-1.9THz and has also shown an ultra-high sensitivity up to 5.3THz. Combined a HEB mixer with a novel THz quantum cascade laser (QCL) as local oscillator (LO), such an all solidstate heterodyne receiver provides the technology which can be used for any balloon-, air- and space-borne heterodyne instruments above 2THz. Here we report the first highresolution heterodyne spectroscopy measurement using a gas cell and using such a HEB-QCL receiver. The receiver employs a 2.9THz metal-metal waveguide QCL as LO and a NbN HEB as a mixer. By using a gas cell filled with methanol (CH3OH) gas in combination with hot/cold blackbody loads as signal source, we successfully recorded the methanol emission line around 2.918THz. Spectral lines at different pressures and also different frequency of the QCL are studied.
The dynamic input power range resulting in BER-3 using our proposed joint-SPM compensation scheme can be increased by 0.4 dB and 1.2 dB, compared to separately compensate for SPM at either transmitter or receiver side.
