We report on electrochemical signal amplification using gap electrodes based on the redox cycling between gap electrodes. The distance between electrodes was controlled from $2{\mu}m$ to a few hundreds of nanometer by chemical deposition of reduced Au ion on the pre-defined electrodes. Enhanced redox current of ferri/ferrocyanide was obtained by redox cycling between the two working electrodes. The faradaic current is amplified about a thousand times in this redox system. Since the signal amplification is due to the shortened diffusion length between the two electrodes, the narrower the nanogap was, the better detection limit, calibration sensitivity, and dynamic range. The experimental results were discussed on the basis of the cyclic voltammetry (CV), atomic force microscope (AFM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurements.

평판 도파로에서 pump가 체렌코프 복사(Cerenkov radiation)의 파동인 경우, pump, signal, 그리고 idler 사이의 매개적 상호작용에 의한 signal의 증폭현상을 해석하였다. 결합모드 이론을 사용하여 pump의 고갈(depletion)을 무시할 수 있는 경우, 수치적 계산으로 쉽게 풀 수 있는 1차 결합모드 미분방정식을 유도하였다. 이 미분방정식의 근사해와 수치적 계산 예를 통해서 signal이 매개적으로 증폭될 수 있음을 보였다.

본 논문에서는 200 mW 이하의 낮은 펌핑 조건의 다이오드 펌프 세슘 증기 셀에서 약한 신호광 증폭을 보고한다. 고효율 증폭효과를 얻기 위해서 펌프빔과 신호빔을 하나의 단일 모드 광섬유로 통과시켜 세슘 증기 셀 내부에서 완전히 겹치도록 하였다. 우리는 약한 신호광의 증폭 정도를 셀의 온도, 신호광의 세기, 펌프광의 세기에 따라 조사하였다. 증기 셀의 온도 $115^{\circ}C$, 신호광의 출력 0.1 mW, 그리고 펌프광의 출력 200 mW인 조건에서 56배의 증폭효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

We report on a numerical calculation study of two new functional properties in magnetic tunnel junctions (MTJs), negative dynamic resistance and RF amplification. The magnetic dynamics in a conventional CoFeB/MgO/CoFeB MTJ with in-plane magnetization was investigated using a macro-spin model simulation. To examine the influence of thermal fluctuations, random external magnetic fields were also included. Using a voltage controlled bias circuit, the negative dynamic resistance was obtained from time averaged I-V characteristics at both 0 K and 300 K under appropriate external magnetic fields and bias voltages. Using this negative dynamic resistance property, we demonstrated RF amplification with a 100 MHz high frequency signal. Sizable RF amplification gain was observed without thermal fluctuation. However, at 300 K, the RF signal was not amplified because low frequency magnetization dynamics were dominant.

We propose a real-time post processing of nonlinear amplified signal to improve voice recognition in remote talk. In the previous research, we have found the nonlinear amplification has unique advantage for both the voice activity detection and the sound localization in remote talk. However, the original signal becomes distorted due to its nonlinear amplification and, as a result, the rest of sequence such as speech recognition show less satisfactorily results. To remedy this problem, we implement a linearization algorithm to recover the voice signal's linear characteristics after the localization has been done.

Salmonella species are among the major pathogens that cause foodborne illness outbreaks. In this study, we aimed to develop a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for the rapid and sensitive detection of Salmonella species. We designed LAMP primers targeting the hilA gene as a universal marker of Salmonella species. A total of seven Salmonella species strains and 11 non-Salmonella pathogen strains from eight different genera were used in this study. All Salmonella strains showed positive amplification signals with the Salmonella LAMP assay; however, there was no non-specific amplification signal for the non-Salmonella strains. The detection limit was 100 femtograms (20 copies per reaction), which was ~1,000 times more sensitive than the detection limits of the conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay (100 pg). The reaction time for a positive amplification signal was less than 20 minutes, which was less than one-third the time taken while using conventional PCR. In conclusion, our Salmonella LAMP assay accurately detected Salmonella species with a higher degree of sensitivity and greater rapidity than the conventional PCR assay, and it may be suitable for point-of-care testing in the field.

Redox cycling in between the two working electrodes in an electrochemical cell can lead a great signal enhancement. In this work, we report on a systematic examination of current amplification along with the decrease in the gap distance of a nanogap device which was fabricated by the combination of photo and chemical lithography [1]. The gap distance was controlled by the chemical lithographic process of surfacecatalyzed growth of metallic layer on pre-defined electrodes with wider initial gap. Enhancement of the redox current of ferri/ferrocyanide was observed upon gap distance reduction and the current is amplified about a thousand times in this redox system when the gap distance was decreased from 200 nm to 30 nm. The experimental results were discussed on the basis of the cyclic voltammetry (CV), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

In broom sorghum, Sorghum bicolor Moench, UV causes anthocyanin synthesis having action peaks in UVA and UVB regions. We previously reported that UV induces anthocyanin synthesis through UVB photoreceptor and phytochrome activated by UV. Furthermore, UVA and UVB amplify phytochrome-induced anthocyanin synthesis (PIAS). Our action- spectroscopic research indicated that a UV -receptor for amplification of PIAS is likely to be the same or same type of UVB photoreceptor for induction of anthocyanin synthesis. UVA-amplification of PIAS can be explained by the action of a cryptic red light signal (CRS), an amplification factor for PIAS produced by a distinct phytochrome-species activated by UVA. We suggest that UVA photoreceptors are not involved in anthocyanin synthesis in the broom sorghum.

평판 도파로에서 Cerenkov-idler configuration 형태의 광학적 매개증폭에 대해서 결합모드 이론을 적용하여 결합모드 방정식을 유도하고, 이 방정식의 근사해를 펌핑광의 고갈(depletion)이 없는 경우에 대해서 구한다. 이 근사해로부터 발생되는 idler의 체렌코프 복사각이 $0^{\circ}$도에 접근할 때 signal의 이득이 크게 향상될 수 있음을 보여주고 수치적 예를 보인다.
