In this paper, a magneto-optic modulator has been designed by using single crystal BSO and polycrystal ZnSe as Faraday cells. And practical core-type optical current sensors using pure iron and permalloy have been prepared and experimented. In order to obtain efficient magnetic field detection, LED(NEC OD08358, 0.87 $\mu$m) was used as optical source, PIN-PD(OD-8454)as optical receiver and multi-mode optical fiber (100/140$\mu$m) as transmission line. The characteristics matrix of the optical element was calculated by Stokes parameter, and optic modulation characteristics equations were derived by Muller matrix. Electromagnetic analysis program (FLUX 2D, micro VAX 3600) by finite element method was used to find the magnetic flux density around the core. The measuring error of the output voltage to input current has been masured below 5% in the range of 50A to 1000A. As the temperature was changed from -20$^{\circ}C$ to 60$^{\circ}C$, the maximum measurement error of the optical output has been found to be 0.5% at 60$^{\circ}C$. These experimental results show good temperature and linearity characteristics. The SNR of the overall system was 47dB in case of 600A (250.2 Oe) conductor current and the system has good noise immunity.

In this paper the characteristics of submicron gate GaAs MESFET's have been studied using a particle model which takes into account the hot-electron transport phenomena, i.e., the velocity overshoot. \ulcornervalley(<000> direction), L valley (<111>direction), X valley (<100>direction) as the GaAs conduction energy band and optical phonon, acoustic phonon, equivalent intervalley, nonequivalent intervalley scattering as the scattering models, have been considered in this simulation. And the GaAs material and the device simulation have been done by determination of the free flight time, scattering mechanism and scattering angle according to Monte-Carlo algorithm which makes use of a particle model. As a result of the particle simulation, firstly the electron distribution, the potential energy distribution and the situation of electron displacement in 0.6 \ulcorner gate length device have been obtained. Secondly, the cutoff frequency, obtained by this method, is k47GHz which is in good agreement with the calculated result of theory. And the current-voltage characteristics curve which takes account of the buffer layer effect has been obtained. Lastly it has been verified that parasitic current at the buffer layer can be analyzed using channel depth modulation.

AC-DC conversion is a necessary for the systems that require DC source. This conversion has been done via rectifiers based on controlled or uncontrolled semiconductor switches. Advances in the power electronics and microprocessor technologies allowed the use of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) rectifiers. In this paper, dq-axis current and DC link voltage of three-phase PWM rectifier are controlled by using type-2 fuzzy neural network (T2FNN) controller. For this aim, a simulation model is built by MATLAB/Simulink software. The model is tested under three different operating conditions. The parameters of T2FNN is updated online by using back-propagation algorithm. The results obtained from both T2FNN and Proportional + Integral + Derivate (PID) controller are given for three operating conditions. The results show that three-phase PWM rectifier using T2FNN provides a superior performance under all operating conditions when compared with PID controller.

A new ion beam extraction system is designed using a simple ion mass filter and a micro mass balance and a QMS based detecting system. A quadrupole Mass Filter is used for selective ion beam formation from inductively coupled high density plasma sources with appropriate electrostatic lens and final analyzing QMS. Also a quartz crystal microbalance is set between a QMF and a QMS to measure the etching and polymerization rate of the mass selected ion beam. An inductively coupled plasma was used as a ion/radical source which had an electron temperature of 4-8 eV and electron density of $4${\times}$10^{11}$＃/㎤. A computer interfaced system through 12bit AD-DA board can control the pass ion mass of the qmf by setting RF/DC voltage ratio applied to the quadrupoles so that time modulation of pass ion's mass is possible. So the direct measurements of ion - surface chemistry can be possible in a resolution of $1\AA$/sec based on the qcm's sensitivity. A full set of driving software and hardware setting is successfully carried out to get fundamental plasma information of the ICP source and analysed $Ar^{+}$ beam was detected at the $2^{nd}$ QMS.

DC/DC switching power converters produce DC output voltages from different DC input sources. The converter is used in regenerative braking of DC motors to return energy back in the supply, resulting in energy savings for the systems containing frequent stops. The DC/DC converter is composed of a PWM-IC (pulse width modulation integrated circuit) controller, a MOSFET (metal-oxide semi-conductor field-effect transistor), an inductor, capacitors, and resistors, etc. PWM is applied to control and regulate the total output voltage. In this paper, radiation shows the main influence on the changes in the electrical characteristics of comparator, operational amplifier, etc. in PWM-IC. In the PWM-IC operation, the missing pulses, the changes in pulse width, and the changes of the output waveform are studied by the simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) and compared with experiments.

This paper proposes phase current reconstruction techniques for two-phase two-leg and two-phase four-leg inverters using a single current sensor. In the proposed methods, one phase current is sampled simultaneously with a particular branch current by using only one current sensor, and then current reconstruction algorithms are applied to extract the information on two phase currents from the sensor output. The sampled current information is periodically updated at the peak and the valley of the triangular carrier waveform in each switching cycle of pulse-width modulation (PWM). The voltage vector spaces where the phase currents can be reconstructed are evaluated. Compared to the existing method using two individual current sensors in two phases, the proposed schemes can save implementation cost since it is possible to remove one current sensor. In addition, the proposed methods are free from gain discrepancy issues between two current sensors. Simulations and experiments show excellent current reconstruction performance of the proposed methods.

Buried-heterostructure lasers are more difficult to fabricate than weakly index guided or gain guided lasers. However, these strongly index guided structures are most suitable for a source of lightwave transmission systems. But, for conventional etched mesa buried heterostructure lasers, the regrowth of InP blocking layer is difficult and irreproducible. So, there are inevitable leakage currents flowing outside the active region resulting poor performance. To eliminate these problems, we used a planar buried heterostructure. As a results, the average threshold current was 28mA and the differential quantum efficiency was about 20% per facet for $1.3\mum$ GaInAsP/InP PBH-LD. The initial forward leakage current was not exceeding $1\muA$ and the reverse voltage for $-10\muA$ was -3V~-5V, these are improved figure of 1mA~10mA and -1V~-3V for EMBH laser diode. The chip modulation bandwidth was more than 2.4GHz for $1.5I_th$.

A proper estimate of solar cell efficiency is of great importance for the feasibility analysis of solar cell power plant development. Since solar cell efficiency depends on temperature, several methods have been introduced to measure it by operating temperature modulation. However, the methods either rely on the external environment or need expensive equipment. In this paper, a thermoelectric module was used to control the operating temperature of crystalline silicon solar cells effectively and precisely over a wide range. The output characteristics of crystalline silicon solar cells in response to operating temperatures from $-5^{\circ}C$ to $100^{\circ}C$ were investigated experimentally. Their efficiencies decreased as the temperature rose, since the decrease in the open circuit voltage and fill factor exceeded the increase in the short circuit current. The maximum power temperature coefficient of the single crystalline solar cell was more sensitive to temperature change than that of the polycrystalline solar cell.
