Articles
The synchronisation mechanism of selfpulsating laser diodes is determined and it is shown how this results in a frequency-dependent phase difference between the electrical input and optical output. The time-to-lock of the electrical input to the optical output is examined, particularly with regard to the importance of the initial phase difference between the signals. The effect of synchronisation on timing jitter in self pulsating lasers is also investigated.
The Control Of A Process With Time Delay By Using A Modified Smith Predictor Compensator, Aidan O'Dwyer, John Ringwood
The Control Of A Process With Time Delay By Using A Modified Smith Predictor Compensator, Aidan O'Dwyer, John Ringwood
Conference papers
A modification is proposed to the Smith predictor compensator structure for the control of a process with time delay. The modification facilitates the achievement of an improved closed loop system regulator response, with little degradation in the corresponding servo response. The compensator design procedure is discussed, and simulation results are provided to demonstrate the applicability of the method.
