Characteristics of InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) ridge laser diodes (LDs) are investigated for high-power $1.3\;{\mu}m$ applications. For QD ridge LDs with a $5-{\mu}m$-wide stripe and a 1-mm-long cavity, the emission wavelength of 1284.1 nm, the single-uncoated-facet CW output power as high as 90 mW, the external efficiency of 0.31 W/A and the threshold current density of $800\;mA/cm^2$ are obtained. The linewidth enhancement factor ($\alpha$-factor) is successfully measured to be between 0.4 and 0.6, which are about four times as small values with respect to conventional quantum well structure. It is possible that this result significantly reduce the filamentation of far-field profiles resulting in better beam quality for high power operation.

This study proposes a high efficiency bridgeless Power Factor Correction (PFC) converter with improved common mode noise characteristics. Conventional PFC has limitations due to low efficiency and enlarged heat sink from considerable conduction loss of bridge diode. By applying a Common Mode (CM) coupled inductor, the proposed bridgeless PFC converter generates less conduction loss as only a small magnetizing current of the CM coupled inductor flows through the input diode, thereby reducing or removing heat sink. The input diode is alternately conducted every half cycle of 60 Hz AC input voltage while a negative node of AC input voltage is always connected to the ground, thus improving common mode noise characteristics. With the aim to improve switching loss and reverse recovery of output diode, the proposed circuit employs Critical Conduction Mode (CrM) operation and it features a simple Zero Current Detection (ZCD) circuit for the CrM. In addition, the input current sensing is possible with the shunt resistor instead of the expensive current sensor. Experimental results through 480 W prototype are presented to verify the validity of the proposed circuit.

Novel single-stage power factor correction AC/DC converter with low DC link voltage using new magnetic feedback technique is proposed in this paper. The Proposed converter has high power factor, tight output voltage regulation and low link capacitor voltage less than 450V for all the load range through the universal input line. This converter has also no dead-zone in the input current, which is seen in the conventional converter using the previous magnetic feedback technique. In this paper, the analysis of operations and features of the proposed converter is provided, and the experimental results of 90W-prototype shows the low harmonic distortions satisfied with EN 61000-3-2 Class D, high power factor and low link voltage less than 450V.

This paper investigates the modal acoustic power by a cascade of flat-plate airfoils interacting with homogeneous, isotropic turbulence. Basic formulation for the acoustic power upstream and downstream is based on the analytical theory of Smith and its generalization due to Cheong et al. The acoustic power spectrum has been expressed as the sum of cut-on acoustic modes, whose modal power is the product of three terms: a turbulence series, an upstream or downstream power factor and an upstream or downstream acoustic response function. The effect of these terms in the modal acoustic power has been examined. For isotropic turbulence gust, the turbulent series are only reducing factor of the modal acoustic power. The power factor tends to reduce the modal acoustic power in the upstream direction, although the power factor is liable to increase the modal acoustic power in the downstream direction. The modes close to cut-off are decreasing strongly, especially in the downstream direction. Therefore the modes close to cut-off don't contribute highly to the radiated acoustic power in the downstream direction, although the modal acoustic pressure is high for these modes.

This paper presents a new active power filter with low DC voltage for compensating reactive power and harmonics of three-phase high power/voltage harmonic producing load. It has a structure of converter connected in series with power factor correction capacitor. Appropriate size and number of filter capacitor are determined by an equation and applied to simulation of 10kvar 6-pulse SCR rectifier.

The proposed method offers an improved control method for high power density AC/DC adapter by using more energy efficient electrical equipments. Power factor correction (PFC) topology is based on boost topology with boundary conduction mode (BCM). DC/DC topology is based on half-bridge topology with fixed 50% duty and newly introduced off-time control method, which helps to reduce size of the semiconductor and the magnetic devices. Test results with 85W AC/DC adapter (18.5V/4.6A) design show that the measured efficiency is 90% with power density of $36W/in^3$. It also shows low no load power consumption of about 0.5W.

In this study, a single-power-conversion series-resonant ac-dc converter with high efficiency and high power factor is proposed. The proposed ac-dc converter consists of single-ended primary-inductor converter with an active-clamp circuit and a voltage doubler with series-resonant circuit. The active-clamp circuit clamps the surge voltage and provides zero-voltage switching of the main switch. The series-resonant circuit consists of leakage inductance $L_{lk}$ of the transformer and resonant capacitors $ C_{r1}$ and $ C_{r2}$. This circuit also provides zero-current switching of output diodes $D_1$ and $D_2$. Thus, the switching loss of switches and reverse-recovery loss of output diodes are considerably reduced. The proposed ac-dc converter also achieves high power factor using the proposed control algorithm without the addition of a power factor correction circuit and a dc-link electrolytic capacitor. A detailed theoretical analysis and the experimental results for a 1kW prototype are discussed.
