A method of soft switching in the half bridge converter using a small saturable core is presented. For the soft switching, a small dead time of both switch off is made in a pair of MOSFET switch. The saturable core is of rectangular magnetization characteristics and the core flux swings from the minus to the plus saturation during ON time of the switch. The soft switching is realized in dead time by a resonance between the saturating inductance of the core and the stray capacitance of MOSFET. As an extension of this concept, instead of the saturable core, we propose a new soft switching circuit using a linear inductance and two switches, which is especially suitable for regulating the output and also for high frequency switching. A theoretical principle of soft switching presented here was confirmed by experiments on a half bridge converter of 1.25 KW.

We briefly review the recent progress in passively mode-locked fiber lasers (PMLFLs) based on semiconductor saturable absorber mirrors (SESAMs) and discuss the detailed characterization of a SESAM-based, passively mode-locked erbium-doped fiber (EDF) laser operating in the 1.5-${\mu}m$ spectral range for various configurations. A simple and compact design of the laser cavity enables the PMLFL to generate either femtosecond or wavelength-tunable picosecond pulses with high stability as the intra-cavity filtering method is altered. All the cavities investigated in our experiments present self-starting, continuous-wave mode-locking with no Q-switching instabilities. The excellent stability of the source eventually enables the wavelength-tunable PMLFL to be used as a master oscillator for a power-amplifier source based on a large-core EDF, generating picosecond pulses of >10-kW peak power and >100-nJ pulse energy.

A novel ultra-narrow linewidth single longtudinal mode DFB semiconductor laser in the extended FBG cavity is proposed. The 3㏈ linewidth of 20KHz was demonstrated by using self-heterodyne measurement set-up with a fiber delay line of 63km. And this linewidth was further compressed to less than 3KHz, which is resolution limited performance, by inserting E $r^{+3}$ doped fiber saturable absorber. This is equivalent to 3㏈ linewidth of 2$\times$10$^{-8}$ nm.

Superconducting tape easily can applied to distribution of electricity. It designs basic model of Saturable Reactor type Fault Current Limiter which used superconducting tape, and observes a specific character by means of simulation. Saturable Reactor type Fault Current Limiter is not influenced by saturation of Magnet core appeared in Induction Fault Current Limiter, because it exploit saturation of Iron core. But, it is possible that superconducting tape quenched when AC current flow to superconducting tape which biased DC voltage.

Passive mode-locking of a pulsed Nd:YAG laser is achieved with saturable absorbers, BDN dye in iodoethane solvent and Kodak Eastman # 26 dye in 1,2-dichloroethane solvent, and its optimum conditions are investigated. The thickness of saturable absorbers employed in the laser mode-locking is 0.16~0.50mm. The PBR (peak-to-background ratio) measured in the oscilloscope is 79.8% in Kodak Eastman # 26 dye at the neighbourhood of the peak power, whereas the passive mode-locking with BDN dye gives PBR of 67.7%. BDN and Kodak Eastman # 26 dyes are superior in photostability over Kodak eastman # 9860 and # 9740 dyes which were used previously in passive mode-locking. From the PBR curve, we find that Kodak Eastman # 26dye is more effective than BDN dye in passive mode-locking. The spacing between the adjacent pulses of the pulse train, which depends on the laser cavity length, is measured and is found to be 7 nsec for the cavity length of 100cm.

A mechanism of taurine transfer across the rat small intestine was elucidated by using the in situ recirculation perfusion or loop method. Taurine uptake was saturable, Km= 39.9 mM, and energy dependent, and required sodium. The close structural analogues, aminomethane sulfonic acid, .gamma.-amino-butyric acid, hypotaurine, and .betha.-alanine, reduced significantly taurine uptake when present in 10-fold excess. The .alpha.-amino acid, glycine, did not inhibit uptake. Hence, all of these findings lead to a conclusion that a carrier-mediated transport system for taurine exists in the small intestine.

주 스위치가 항상 영전압에서 스위칭을 하는 새로운 영전압 스위칭 방식 (ZVS)의 PWM 컨버터를 제안하였다. 제안된 컨버터에서 두 개의 가포화(saturable)인덕터를 보조 스위치의 전도 손실을 줄이기 위하여 기존의 ZVS PWM 컨버터에서 사용한 한 개의 인덕테를 대체하였다. 컨버터의 주 스위치는 영전압 스위칭으로 인하여 스위칭의 전류를 줄이므로써 최소화하였다. 따라서, 제안된 컨버터는 고 전력밀도의 시스템 구현에 사용이 가능하다. 영전압 스위칭을 포함한 위의 특징을 실험을 통하여 증명되었다.

In this paper, we conduct a simulation of manipulating various pulsed laser operations through tuning the modulation depth of the saturable absorber in a laser cavity. The research, showing that various pulsed operations could be manipulated from Q-switching through Q-switched mode locking to mode locking by tuning the modulation depth of the saturable absorber in a cavity, has been studied by experimental means. We conduct a simulation with the Haus master equation to verify that these experimental results are consistent with expectations from theory. The time dependence of the gain was considered to express Q-switching fluctuation through applying a rate equation with the Haus master equation. Laser operation was manipulated from mode locking through Q-switched mode locking to Q-switching as modulation depth was increased, and this result agreed well with the theoretical expectation.
