    摘要: Embodiments of the microwave amplification system are described. In an embodiment, a microwave amplification system includes a microwave amplifier that contains a paramagnetic material with an impurity. The impurity has a plurality of nuclear spin and electron spin-based energy levels. The system includes an input to receive a pumping signal which is transmitted to the microwave amplifier to cause a population inversion in the impurity and excite it to one of the nuclear spin and electron spin-based energy levels. The system further includes another input to receive an input signal to be amplified by the microwave amplifier, the input signal having a lower power than the pumping signal. Once transmitted to the microwave amplifier, the input signal is amplified by the excited state of the impurity in the microwave amplifier thereby generating an amplified signal.

    摘要: A thermo-electric cooling (TEC) system is presented for cooling of a device, such a laser for example. The TECT system comprises first and second heat pumping assemblies, and a control unit associated at least with said second heat pumping assembly. Each heat pumping assembly has a heat source from which heat is pumped and a heat drain through which pumped heat is dissipated. The at least first and second heat pumping assemblies are arranged in a cascade relationship having at least one thermal interface between the heat source of the second heat pumping assembly and the heat drain of the first heat pumping assembly, the heat source of the first heat pumping assembly being thermally coupled to the electronic device which is to be cooled by evacuating heat therefrom. The control unit is configured and operable to carry out at least one of the following: (i) operating said second heat pumping assembly to provide a desired temperature condition such that temperature of the heat drain of said first heat pumping assembly is either desirably low or by a certain value lower than temperature of the heat source of said first heat pumping assembly; and (ii) operating said second heat pumping assembly to maintain predetermined temperature of said thermal interface.

    摘要: An apparatus comprising a ferromagnetic conductive material including a magnon gain medium (MGM) and a tunnel junction coupled to the ferromagnetic conductive material are provided. The magnon gain medium (MGM) further comprises a conduction band that is split into two sub bands separated by an exchange energy gap, a first sub band having spin up, and a second sub band having spin down. The applied bias voltage is configured to shift the Fermi level of the external metallic contact with respect to the Fermi level of the ferromagnetic conductive material so that the injected electrons are configured to tunnel into the second sub band having spin down.

    摘要: A third-order distributed feedback laser has an active medium disposed on a substrate as a linear array of segments having a series of periodically spaced interstices therebetween and a first conductive layer disposed on a surface of the active medium on each of the segments and along a strip from each of the segments to a conductive electrical contact pad for application of current along a path including the active medium. Upon application of a current through the active medium, the active medium functions as an optical waveguide, and there is established an alternating electric field, at a THz frequency, both in the active medium and emerging from the interstices. Spacing of adjacent segments is approximately half of a wavelength of the THz frequency in free space or an odd integral multiple thereof, so that the linear array has a coherence length greater than the length of the linear array.
