We have studied a liquid crystal (LC) mode, named locked super homeotropic (LSH), where the LCs aligned homeotropically are locked by surrounding walls such as cubic, hexagonal and cylinder. In the device, the vertically aligned LCs tilt down symmetrically around the center of the cell when a voltage is applied and thus it exhibits wide viewing angle. In addition, since the LCs is locked in micro domains the LCs do not flow to the bottom of the panel by gravity.

Since the speed of operation in the system has been increasing rapidly, chips should have been synchronized. Then, synchronized circuits such as PLL (Phase Locked Loop), DLL (Delay Locked Loop) are used. VCO (Voltage Controled Oscillator) generated a frequency in the PLL has disadvantage such as jitter accumulation. On the other hands, VCDL (Voltage Controled Delay Line) used at DLL has an advantage which has no jitter accumulation. In this paper, a new and improved VCDL structure is suggested.

The phase-locked loop(PLL) is a communication receiver which operates as a coherent detector by continuously correcting the phase error. In this paper analysis for the Phase-error behavior of analog phase-locked loop (APLL) in the presence of additive white gaussian noise has been done theoretically and experimentally. A close form solution of the first-order loop is obtained and approximate solutions are derived for the second-order loops with RC, leadlag and perfect integrator filters. The perdormance of APLL's and their characteristics are also thoroughly investigated through experiments. In order to analyze the effect of the stochastic nature on nonlinear dynamics characteristics of the second order APLL, the phase error distribution and its variance have been obtained by using the Fokker-Planck equation. Theoretical results agree closely with those of experiment.

I propose a vector passive harmonic mode-locked fiber laser based on topological insulator Bi2Se3 interacting with a fiber taper with a diameter of 7 μm. The particles of topological insulator are deposited uniformly onto the fiber taper with light pressure effect. By incorporating the fabricated saturable absorber into an Er-doped fiber laser cavity, stable mode-locked fiber is obtained. Due to the intense evanescent field of the fiber taper, strong confinement of light enhances the nonlinearity of the laser cavity, and passive harmonic mode-locking is performed. I observe a maximum harmonic mode-locking of 356th, corresponding to a frequency of 3.57 GHz. The pulse duration is 824 fs, and the full width at half maximum of the spectrum is about 8.2 nm. The polarization dependent loss of the saturable absorber is ~ 2.5 dB in the wavelength range of the C band. As the cavity contains no other polarization dependent device, the mode-locked laser is functioning in the vector state. The harmonic order vs pump power is investigated. To the best of our knowledge, this report is the highest frequency mode-locked fiber laser based on Bi2Se3. Experimental results indicate that the topological insulator Bi2Se3 functioning with a thin fiber taper is effective for vector harmonic mode-locking.

A frequency-locked loop(FLL) is a negative-feedback system that uses a frequency detector to improve the phase noise of a voltage-controlled oscillator(VCO). In this work, a theoretical analysis of the phase noise of a VCO in an FLL is presented. The analysis shows that the phase noise of the VCO follows the phase noise determined by the frequency detector and the loop filter within the FLL loop bandwidth, while the phase noise of the VCO appears outside the loop bandwidth. Therefore, it is possible to design an FLL that minimizes the phase noise of the VCO based on the theoretical analysis results. The theoretical phase noise results were verified through experiments.

In this paper, I propose the full CMOS FLL(frequency locked loop) circuit. The proposed FLL circuit has a simple structure which contains a FVC(frequency-to-voltage converter), an operational amplifier and a VCO(voltage controlled oscillator). The operation of FLL circuit is based on frequency comparison by the two FVC circuit blocks. The locking time of FLL is short compared to PLL(phase locked loop) circuit because the output signal of FLL is synchronized only in frequency. The circuit is designed by 0.35${\mu}m$ process and simulation carried out with HSPICE. Simulation results are shown to illustrate the performance of the proposed FLL circuit.

A robust all-fiber nonlinear amplifying loop-mirror-based mode-locked femtosecond laser is demonstrated. Power-dependent nonlinear phase shift in a Sagnac loop enables stable and power-efficient mode-locking working as an artificial saturable absorber. The pump power is adjusted to achieve the lowest intensity noise for stable long-term operation. The minimum pump power for mode-locking is 180 mW, and the optimal pump power is 300 mW. The lowest integrated root-mean-square relative intensity noise of a free-running mode-locked laser is 0.009% [integration bandwidth: 1 Hz-10 MHz]. The long-term repetition-rate instability of a free-running mode-locked laser is 10^-7 over 1,000 s averaging time. The repetition-rate phase noise scaled at 10-GHz carrier is -122 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz Fourier frequency. The demonstrated method can be applied as a seed source in high-precision real-time mid-infrared molecular spectroscopy.

Irreducible fracture dislocation of the ankle associated with comminuted displaced fracture of posterior malleolus is rare. Locked posterior malleolar fragments interfere with reduction of fibula or talus in ankle fractures. Prompt recognition and appropriate surgical approaches are necessary to achieve anatomical reduction of the ankle fractures.

This paper introduces the design of low-power, fast-locking delay locked-loop using complementary pass transistor logic(CPL). Low-power design has become one of the most important in the modem VLSI application. CPL has the advantage of fast speed, high density, and low power with signal buffering between stages. Based on this analysis, we concluded that the I/O performance can be beyond 500㎒, 2-poly, 2-metal 0.65$\mu\textrm{m}$, 3.3V supply.
