Fiber lasers have made remarkable progress over the past three decades, and they now serve far-reaching applications and have even become indispensable in many technology sectors. As there is an insatiable appetite for improved performance, whether relating to enhanced spatio-temporal stability, spectral and noise characteristics, or ever-higher power and brightness, thermal management in these systems becomes increasingly critical. Active convective cooling, such as through flowing water, while highly effective, has its own set of drawbacks and limitations. To overcome them, other synergistic approaches are being adopted that mitigate the sources of heating at their roots, including the quantum defect, concentration quenching, and impurity absorption. Here, these optical methods for thermal management are briefly reviewed and discussed. Their main philosophy is to carefully select both the lasing and pumping wavelengths to moderate, and sometimes reverse, the amount of heat that is generated inside the laser gain medium. First, the sources of heating in fiber lasers are discussed and placed in the context of modern fiber fabrication methods. Next, common methods to measure the temperature of active fibers during laser operation are outlined. Approaches to reduce the quantum defect, including tandem-pumped and short-wavelength lasers, are then reviewed. Finally, newer approaches that annihilate phonons and actually cool the fiber laser below ambient, including radiation-balanced and excitation-balanced fiber lasers, are examined. These solutions, and others yet undetermined, especially the latter, may prove to be a driving force behind a next generation of ultra-high-power and/or ultra-stable laser systems.

Quantum Cellular Automata(QCA) is one of the proposed techniques as an alternative solution to the fundamental limitations of CMOS. QCA has recently been extensively studied along with experimental results, and is attracting attention as a nano-scale size and low power consumption. Although the XOR gates proposed in the previous paper can be designed using the minimum area and the number of cells, there is a disadvantage that the number of added cells is increased due to the stability and the accuracy of the result. In this paper, we propose a gate that supplement for the drawbacks of existing XOR gates. The XOR gate of this paper reduces the number of cells by arranging AND gate and OR gate with square structure and propose a half-adder by adding two cells that serve as simple inverters using the proposed XOR gate. Also This paper use QCADesginer for input and result accuracy. Therefore, the proposed half-adder is composed of fewer cells and total area compared to the conventional half-adder, which is effective when used in a large circuit or when a half - adder is needed in a small area.

In this work, we introduce a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor(CMOS)-based integrated circuit(IC) measurement set-up for quantum computer control and read-out using a cryogenic refrigerator. CMOS circuits have to operate at extremely low temperatures of 3 to 5 K for qubit stability and noise reduction. The existing cryogenic measurement system is liquid helium quenching, which is expensive due to the long-term use of expendable resources. Therefore, we describe a cryogenic measurement system based on a closed cycle refrigerator (CCR) that is cost-free even when using helium gas for long periods of time. The refrigerator capable of reaching 4.7 K was built using a Gifford-Mcmahon(G-M) type cryocooler. This is expected to be a cryogenic refrigerator set-up with excellent price competitiveness.

Wigner functions and density matrices are computer simulated for various quantum mechanical states of light. Wigner function and density matrices are evaluated by filtered back projection which includes inverse Radon transform from the distribution function of the photocurrents, which are calculated in the balanced homodyne detection scheme. The density matrix is also directly obtained by using the pattern function from the simulated phase independent photocurrent distribution function. ction.

네트워크에서 다양한 애플리케이션의 서비스 성능을 저하시키는 불공정 큐잉 문제를 해결하기 위해 현재 공정 큐잉 분야가 활발히 연구중이다. 그 중에서 DRR(Deficit Round Robin)은 작업 복잡도가 낮고 구현이 간단한 기법으로 이전 라운드에서의 서비스 결손량을 다음 라운드에서 서비스하도록 하여 공정한 서비스를 보장하는 기법이다. 그러나 엔터프라이즈 환경과 같은 고속 네트워크 환경에서 최대 수 kbyte 이상의 패킷 사이즈를 가지는 서비스들에 대해 불필요한 SQ(Service Quantum) 재설정 횟수 및 라운드 순회 횟수로 인한 지연시간 증가를 일으킨다. 본 논문에서는 매 라운드마다 전송을 앞둔 패킷의 사이즈를 고려하여 SQ를 동적으로 설정하는 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법은 각 큐의 가장 앞쪽에 있는 패킷들 중 사이즈가 아무리 큰 패킷도 현재 라운드에서 서비스될 수 있고, 패킷을 처리하는데 있어서의 작업 복잡도 또한 최소화하는 기법으로 다양한 애플리케이션들에 대한 지연시간을 최소화한다.

We have designed and simulated an 1-bit ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) by using a half adder. An ALU is the part of a computer processor that carries out arithmetic and logic operations on the operands in computer instruction words. The designed ALU had limited operation functions of OR, AND, XOR, and ADD. It had a pipeline structure. We constructed an 1-bit ALU by using only one half adder and three control switches. We designed the control switches in two ways, dc switch and NDRO (Non Destructive Read Out) switch. We used dc switches because they were simple to use. NDRO pulse switches were used because they can be easily controlled by control signals of SET and RESET and show fast response time. The simulation results showed that designed circuits operate correctly and the circuit minimum margins were ＋/-27%. In this work, we used simulation tools of XIC and WRSPICE. The circuit layouts were also performed. The circuits are being fabricated.

The paper presents a histogram equalization method using the edge information of an image to be processed. The basic idea of this method is to carry out histogram equalization with edge information, which is important and essential for object conformation. In the proposed method, the edge information is used to generate histogram for the equalization process. It is found to be effective to suppress the histogram spikes that cause quantum jumps in mapping function for the equalization process. The proposed method is tested for randomly selected 30 images and compared to conventional approaches with a quantitative measure to check it preserves the structural similarity. Experimental results show that the proposed method has better performance and no artifacts caused by histogram spikes.

라우터나 스위치 같은 네트워크상의 접근 포인트에서 트래픽들에 대한 불공정 큐잉은 서비스의 성능을 저하시킬 뿐만 아니라 불필요한 병목을 일으킬 우려가 많기 때문에 트래픽들에 대한 공정한 패킷 스케줄링 기법들이 많이 연구되고 있다[2]. 그 중에서 서비스 할당량 SQ(Service Quantum)와 결손 계측자 DC(Deficit Counter)를 사용하는 DRR 기법은 다른 것들에 비해 작업 복잡도가 낮고 보다 정확한 공정성을 보장하는 패킷 스케줄링 기법이다. 그러나 이 기법은 TCP 프로토콜의 재전송 타이머에 의해 검출된 전송이 실패된 패킷을 고려하지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 TCP 프로토콜의 재전송 타이머에 의해 검출된 전송이 실패된 TCP 패킷을 관리하기 위한 추가적인 큐를 두어 기존의 DRR 보다 정확한 공정성을 보장하는 기법을 제안한다.

Square lattice nano-hole arrays with diameters and periodicities of 200 and 500 nm, respectively, are fabricated on InGaN/GaN blue light emitting diodes (LEDs) using electron-beam lithography and inductively coupled plasma reactive ion etching processes. Cathodoluminescence (CL) investigations show that light emission intensity from the LEDs with the nano-hole arrays is enhanced compared to that from the planar sample. The CL intensity enhancement factor decreases when the nano-holes penetrate into the multiple quantum wells (MQWs) due to the plasma-induced damage and the residues. Wet chemical treatment using KOH solution is found to be an effective method for light extraction from the nano-patterned LEDs, especially, when the nano-holes penetrate into the MQWs. About 4-fold CL intensity enhancement factor is achieved by the KOH treatments after the dry etching for the sample with a 250-nm deep nano-hole array.
