We constructed grating- tuned external cavity semiconductor lasers using Littman and Littrow configuration, for which the wavelengths are tuned by rotation of the grating. This wavelength tunable semiconductor laser is one of the main devices of WDM optical communication. In Littman configuration, the wavelength range of about 60 nm (The C- and L-band range of 1,530~1,590 nm) was obtained by changing the incidence angle of the grating about $\pm$1$^{\circ}$ from the incidence angle of 70$^{\circ}$. In the 40 nm tuning range, the output power variation was less than 1.25 ㏈ and the side mode suppression ratio(SMSR) was 32 ㏈. In Littrow configuration (The incidence angle and the first order diffraction angle is the same, i.e. $\alpha$=$\delta$), the wavelength tuning range was about 80 nm for the same conditions used in Littman configuration except the incidence angle ($\alpha$=49$^{\circ}$). In 60 nm tuning range, the output power variation was less than 1.5 ㏈ and SMSR was 35 ㏈.

This paper proposes a hybrid LED driving circuit and its control method for extension of the color gamut of LED. The proposed hybrid LED driving circuit provides the constant current by switching regulation in the high current and by linear regulation in the low current through LED. Furthermore, the magnitudes of the high current and low current were controlled by CC(Continuous Current) control method and PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) control method, respectively. We experimentally confirmed that the current through RGB LED is linearly controlled to 2% maximum current ratio by varying PWM in the proposed driving circuit and control method. As a result of the measurement of the output light color in CIE1976 chromaticity coordinates, we confirmed that the color, which not be expressed by the existing method, uniformly expressed. We confirmed that the color, which can not be expressed by the existing method, was uniformly output and verified that the color gamut was expanded by the low current controlled by the proposed driving circuit and control method.

An actuator system is a type of motor designed to control a mechanism operated by a source of energy, in the form of an electric current by converting energy into some kind of motion. As audio actuators, transforming electric voltage signal into audio signal, speakers and amplifiers are commonly used. In applications of industry, high output power systems are required. For these systems to generate high-quality output, it is essential to control output impedance of audio systems. We have developed an adaptable power supply for driving active amplifier systems with variable loads. Depending on the changing values of resistance of the speaker which produces audible sound by transforming electric voltage signal, the power supply source of the active amplifier can generate the maximum power delivered to the speaker by an adaptable change of loads. The amplifier is well protected from the abrupt increment of peak current and an excess of current flow.

This paper describes the frequency dependence of the grounding impedance. In order to propose the evaluation method of the transient response of powered grounding systems, the grounding impedances were measured with varying the frequency of incoming currents by way of the variable frequency inverter and band pass filter. The magnitude and phase of the grounding impedance were analyzed in the frequency range of 20 [Hz]∼2.1[kHz]. The grounding impedance were increased with increasing the frequency of the test current. The grounding impedance at the frequency of 2[kHz] in the actual 22.9[kV] substation grounding system was approximately 3 times as large as the 60[Hz] grounding impedance. It was found that the frequency dependence of the grounding impedance is mainly subject to the inductive reactance of the grounding conductors. As a result, it is critical to determine the shape and size of grounding grid reducing the resultant inductance in grounding systems for lightning surge protection.

In this paper, do link ripple currents for three-phase ac/dc/ac PWM converters feeding adjustable speed ac machine drives are analysed in a frequency domain. The expression of the harmonic currents is developed by using switching functions of the converter and exponential courier series expansion. The effect of the displacement angle between the switching Periods of line-side converters and motor-side inverters on the dc link ripple currents is Investigated. Also, the influence of asynchronization of PWM is observed. The result of analysis is compared with frequency spectrum which results from PSIM simulation. The proposed analysis technique is useful to understand the principles of P% and to derive an equivalent model of the dc link capacitors in a high frequency range.

In this paper, a new control method is presented to reduce acoustic resonance phenomena of metal halide lamps with electronic ballasts. A behavior of frequency controlled resonant inverter is analyzed and the transfer function is obtained. An integrator as a current controller for ballast is employed. By using both a disturbance of the lamp power and spread spectrum effects for reducing acoustic resonance, an amplitude modulation is done by using the current controller with 200[Hz] sinusoidal wave. Arc stabilities of MH 250[W] lamps are studied with changing the modulation index. Experiments with two MH 250[W] lamps, made by different manufacturers, showed the validity of the proposed method.

This paper is reported on the simulation and test results of a constant flux vector control scheme of an induction motor without any speed detecting eqiupment, in which the adaptive current PWM inverter is used. The rotor speed is estimated form stator voltage, current and parameters of motor, and control algorithm in the system is performed with by micro processor. By comparing the waveform of input current of this system with that of the case with taco-generator, good agreement is observed except small ripple component. Experimental results which are acquired at start up and during acceleration/deceleration are quite similar to those of the simulation results.

For revolving and elevating a turret of a tank, we substitute an existing oil pressure system with an electric system using a motor and applied the vector control method to this system. A switching method of an inverter for providing desired sinusoidal current to each phase of a motor, we adopted min-max pulse width modulation method which takes less computation time, rather than space vector pulse width modulation method. We designed a digital filter and applied it to the control system. Developed current controller is verified it's performance through a current control test, speed control test, frequency response and tracking a profile of speed test.

We design and fabricate a novel tunable wavelength filter, which utilizes long-range surface plasmon-polaritons excited along nm-thick-metal strips. A gold metal strip, with $\sim$ cm length, 20 nm thickness, and $\sim$ 5$\mu$m width, is embedded in thick thermo-optic Polymer films supported by a silicon wafer. A dielectric Bragg grating structure is Placed on the metal strip, so that transmission signals at telecom wavelength are selected by thermal effect of the thermo-optic polymer. High extinction ratio of 25 dB and total insertion loss of $\sim$25 dB/cm can be measured by single-mode coupling of optical fibers. We also verify that wavelength tuning of the long-range surface plasmon-polariton filters can be achieved by electric current directly applied to the metal-strip waveguides.

This paper proposes a new approach for the design of a multi-output electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps of different outputs and control method. At first, a standard-output electronic ballast is constructed and then fluorescent lamps with different outputs are lighted by the frequency control of inverter circuit using MeV. This multi-output electronic ballast consists of a rectifier circuit, an inverter circuit, and a frequency control circuit to determine the optimal frequency for the lamps of different output. In order to verify the proposed design method, a prototype of a multi-output electronic ballast for 11 [WJ. 15[WJ compact fluorescent lamps and 20W fluorescent lamp is constructed. Results of observing the voltage and current characteristics of lamps are in accord with those of PSpice simulation. Also its efficacy is nearly the same as the other electronic ballasts. From the result, therefore, validity of the proposed design method of a multi-output electronic ballast for fluorescent lamps is verified.
