In this research, microfabrication technique using localized electrochemical deposition (LECD) with ultra short pulses is presented. Electric field is localized near the tool tip end region by applying a few hundreds of nano second pulses. Pt-Ir tip is used as a counter electrode and copper is deposited on the copper substrate in 0.5 M CuSO$_4$ and 0.5 M H$_2$SO$_4$ electrolyte. The effectiveness of this technique is verified by comparison with LECD using DC voltage. The deposition characteristics such as size, shape, surface, and structural density according to applied voltage and pulse duration are investigated. The proper condition is selected from the results of the experiments. Micro columns less than 10 $\mu$m in diameter are fabricated using this technique. The real 3D micro structures such as micro pattern and micro spring can be fabricated by this method. It is suggested that presented method can be used as an easy and inexpensive method for fabrication of microstructure with complex shape.

Impulse Radio Ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) system employing the short pulse has the tolerable characteristics for the multipath environment. The corresponding transceiver with low power consumption can be simply implemented. On the other hand, in the receiver side, the precise channel estimation is required for the knowledge of essence in channel due to the short period of pulse. The estimated gains and delays in channel are used in the rake receiver. The resulting parameters we search have a strong influence on the performance in the entire system. We introduce that the essential parameters can be obtained more precisely through the preamble in receiver side for the channel estimation and related technologies are presented.

Tungsten wire micro electrochemical machining (W-wire micro ECM) with ultra-short pulses enables precise micro machining of metal. In wire micro ECM, platinum wire has been used because it is electrochemically stable. However, the micro metal wire with low strength is easily deformed by hydrogen bubbles which are generated during the machining. The wire deformation decreases the machining accuracy. To reduce the influence of hydrogen bubbles, in this paper, the use of tungsten wire was investigated. To improve machining accuracy, suitable pulse conditions which affect generation of bubbles were also investigated. The tungsten wire micro ECM can be applied to the fabrication of various shapes. Using this method, various micro-parts and shapes were fabricated.

We have developed a mode-locked ultra-short pulse C $r^{4+}$:YAG laser, as well as a continuous wave C $r^{4+}$:YAG laser. The laser was pumped by a Nd:YAG laser and its characteristics were investigated. In continuous wave mode, we obtained as much as 600 mW at 1.436 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with pumping power of 6 W, by using an output coupler with a reflectivity of 98%. The power slope efficiency was 10%, when the gain medium was cooled to 19$^{\circ}C$. The tuning range was varied from 1.39 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ to 1.55 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the maximum power was 400 mW at 1.492 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with a 3-plate birefringent filter. The C $r^{4+}$:YAG laser was mode-locked by a Kerr lens mode locking method. Mode locking at 1.436 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$was initiated by slightly rocking a mirror mount. But the pulses were very unstable because of the strong water absorption at this region. So we shifted the lasing wavelength to 1.492 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ by using a 3-plate birefringent filter. Then we obtained stable state mode-locking with the maximum average power of 280 mW for a pumping power of 6 W. The pulse width of 43 fs was measured using an autocorrelator and the repetition rate was 104.5 MHz.

In this work, back bias effects in the program of the silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon (SONOS) cell using two-step pulse sequence, are investigated. Two-step pulse sequence is composed of the forward biases for collecting the electrons at the substrate terminal and back bias for injecting the hot electrons into the nitride layer. With an aid of the back bias for electron injection, we obtain a program time as short as 600 ns and an ultra low-voltage operation with a substrate voltage of -3 V.

Technological feasibility of using recently-available femtosecond ultra short pulse lasers for advanced precision length metrology is investigated with emphasis on absolute distance measurements with $10{\mu}m$ ??resolution over extensive ranges. The idea of using femtosecond lasers for the measurement of absolute distances is based on the fact that a short pulse train is a mode-locked combination of discrete monochromatic light components spanning a wide spectral bandwidth. The synthetic wavelength is created from the repetition frequency, $f_r$ of the femtosecond laser and for more precise resolution, higher-order harmonics of the repetition frequency may be selected as the synthetic wavelength by using appropriate electronic filters.

Pulse electrochemical machining process with high or low current density may produce a non-lustrous surface on workpiece surface. The usual polishing process to remove a black layer from the surface has been hand polish the part. But the milli-to-micro meter scale structure formed by the electrochemical machining process may be destroyed while polishing process. The application of ultra short voltage pulses based on the analysis of electrical double layer charging process allows high resolution electrochemical machining and polishing. This technique was based on the specific polarization resistance from the comparison of ideal and experimental potential variation during short voltage pulses.

In this paper, we propose structures and power spectral densities of UWB radar transmitters of Short Range Automobile. While the conventional transmitters did not consider interferences from self and other automobiles, the proposed method of this paper can minimize interferences. First, we compare a structure of the proposed method with pulse train and pulse compression method. Then, by using mathematical analysis and computer simulations, we show that the proposed method is superior to others. Also we can set proper parameters in UWB radar's transmitter through the numerical method of mathematical results.
