We demonstrate a simple method to generate a stable 40 GHz pulse train at 1550 nm by spectral filtering of a 10 GHz mode.locked pulse source using a fiber Fabry-Perot interferometer (FFPI). A high finesse FFPI with a 40 GHz free spectral range blocks successfully unwanted spectral components of a 10 GHz pulse source and passes only 40 GHz spaced spectral lines ensuring pulse repetition-frequency quadruplication of the input pulses.

Monostatic sonar systems localize targets using the time information of pulse transmission and receipt. Whereas, in asynchronous bistatic sonar systems, receivers need to detect direct blast to localize targets, since a source doesn't share pulse information with receivers. In this paper, we propose a direct blast detection algorithm, which estimates PRI (Pulse Repetition Interval) of direct blast and adaptive thresholds. Experimental results show the proposed algorithm has robust direct blast detection performance in the environment where strong background noise and target signal exist.

We propose a selective detection scheme based on pulse repetition considering the BER (Bit Error Rate) performance and complexity of coherent IR-UWB (Impulse Radio-Ultra Wide Band) systems. To take system complexity into account, the proposed scheme transmits the UWB signals by pulse repetition at the transmitter, like conventional PRC (Pulse Repetition Coding). However, to effectively improve BER performance of the system, the proposed scheme performs selective detection by estimating the SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) of the received pulse-repeated signal at the UWB receiver. Hence, the proposed scheme effectively improves BER performance of the coherent IR-UWB systems without increasing system complexity, as compared to the conventional PRC algorithm.

Typically, radar systems change the pulse repetition interval of their modulated signal in order to avoid detection. On the other hand the radar-signal detection system tries to detect the modulation pattern. The histogram or auto-correlation methods are usually used to detect the PRI pattern of the radar signal. However these methods tend to lost the sequence information of the PRI pulses. This paper proposes a PRI-sequence detection algorithm based on the finite-state machine that could detect not only the PRI pattern but also their sequence.

Zero current switching(ZCS) series resonant converter is used to control laser power density in a pulsed Nd:YAG laser power supply. The high power and high repetition rate paused Nd:YAG laser is designed and fabricated to control current pulse width and pulse repetition rate in the double elliptical laser oscillator. In order to find out operational characteristics of pulsed Nd:YAG laser, the electrical properties of driving power supply and laser output power are investigated and experimented by changing of the current pulse width from 200uS to 350uS(step 50uS) and pulse repetition rate range of 500pps(pulse per second) to 1150pps. From that result, we obtaind maximum efficiency of 1.83% and maximum laser output or 220W at the condition of 350 uS and 1150pps with one Nd:YAG rod), and obtained that of more than 400W with two laser head connecting series.

Wavelength and repetition-rate tunable optical pulse-trains for ultrafast optical time- and wavelength division multiplexing are generated from a semiconductor fiber ring laser by optical injection mode-locking. The pulse trains show the pulse with of ${\sim}10$ ps and the wavelength tuning of wider than 30 nm at various repetition-rates of 10 GHz, 20 GHz, 30 GHz and 40 GHz, respectively.

A regenerative Er-doped fiber amplifier system for a high-repetition-rate optical pulse train is investigated for the first time. A signal pulse train with a wavelength tuning range of 18 nm is produced by a passive mode-locked fiber laser based on a nonlinear polarization rotation technique. In order to realize the amplification, an optical delay-line is used to achieve time match between the pulses' interval and the period of pulse running through the regenerative amplifier. The 16 dB gain is obtained for an input pulse train with a launching power of -30.4 dBm, a center wavelength of 1563.4 nm and a repetition rate of 15.3 MHz. The output properties of signal pulses with different center wavelengths are also discussed. The pulse amplification is found to be different from the regenerative amplification system for CW signals.

In this study, it is the purpose to develope a cheap and compact repetitively pulsed $CO_2$ laser with pulse repetition rate range of 180 Hz. We used a SCR switched power supply as a high voltage pulsed supply, which is cheap and simple comparing to others. PIC one-chip microprocessor was used for precise control of a laser power supply on the control part. And the laser cavity was fabricated as an axial and water cooled type. The laser performance characteristics as various parameters, such as pulse repetition rate and gas pressure have been investigated. The experiment was done under the condition of total pressure of $CO_2, N_2$ and He from 4 Torr to 16 Torr and pulse repetition rate from 4 Hz to 180 Hz. As a result, the maximum average output was about 19.6W at the total pressure of 12 Torr and the pulse repetition rate of 180Hz.

This paper presents a new algorithm for estimating pulse repetition intervals (PRIs) of stagger PRI pulse trains using a 2 dimensional TDOA histogram. The PRI transform algorithm can remove harmonics of stable and jitter PRI pulse trains in a TDOA histogram. But, it is impossible for the algorithm to detect stagger PRI pulse trains because it regards frame PRIs of stagger Pulse trains as harmonics of stable PRI pulse trains. A new algorithm of this paper has an ability to distinguish stagger pulse trains from harmonics of other pulse trains and to estimate frame PRIs of detected pulse trains.

Many of modem radars use modulated pulse repetition intervals for the purpose of anti-aliasing and ECCM. The interception, analysis and identification of radar signals is a major function of a radar intercept receiver. In this paper, we discuss the identification of pulse repetition intervals modulation of radar signals which is one of the major parameters for the analysis of radar. We proposed a new algorithm based on Markov models approach. This approach is shown to be reliable and robust to the missing pulses, as well as to require only relatively few pulse data.
