In this article, a design of multi-channel data acquisition system is presented. With FPGA as the core controller, the system can implement logic control over the high-speed ADC and acquire high-speed and high-resolution sample data. Using asynchronous FIFO as a cache, it can transfer data between two different clock domains: ADC data acquisition module and RS485 data module, which helps to improve the work efficiency and data throughput of the system. In the Quartus II development platform, Verilog hardware description language is adopted and finite state machine so that parallel acquisition operation to multi-channel ADC controlled by FPGA can be achieved and the system can become equipped with high-resolution, strong real-timeliness, low noise interference and other advantages. When it comes to the final step, simulation of AD sampling, asynchronous FIFO and RS485 transmission are conducted under the Modelsim environment and on-line testing by Signaltap to the system is synchronously implemented. The validity and reliability of the system are verified.

AbstractOptoretinography – the non-invasive, optical imaging of light-induced functional activity in the retina – stands to provide a critical biomarker for testing the safety and efficacy of new therapies as well as their rapid translation to the clinic. Optical phase change in response to light, as readily accessible in phase-resolved OCT, offers a path towards all-optical imaging of retinal function. However, typical human eye motion adversely affects phase stability and precludes the recording of fast light-induced retinal events. Here we introduce a high-speed line-scan spectral domain OCT with adaptive optics (AO), aimed at volumetric imaging and phase-resolved acquisition of retinal responses to light. By virtue of parallel acquisition of an entire retinal cross-section (B-scan) in a single high-speed camera frame, depth-resolved tomograms at speeds up to 16 kHz were achieved with high sensitivity and phase stability. To optimize spectral and spatial resolution, an anamorphic detection paradigm was introduced enabling improved light collection efficiency and signal roll-off compared to traditional methods. The benefits in speed, resolution and sensitivity were exemplified in imaging nanometer-millisecond scale light-induced optical path length changes in cone photoreceptor outer segments. With 660 nm stimuli, individual cone responses readily segregated into three clusters, corresponding to long, middle and short-wavelength cones. Recording such optoretinograms on spatial scales ranging from individual cones, to 100 μm-wide retinal patches offers a robust and sensitive biomarker for cone function in health and disease. Furthermore, incorporating this capability into an easy-to-use and ubiquitous diagnostic platform of OCT enables its widespread application to patient care and drug development.

The existing problem of current laser pulse receiving system is that the laser pulses width is too narrow to be directly collected. And the consistency of the four signals acquisition is very strict. To deal with these problems, a new design of laser pulse receiver will be introduced in this article. This laser pulse receiving system includes the following structures: new high-speed laser pulse receiving hardware based on CPLD and Four-Quadrant Detectors, new peak-hold circuit of laser pulse, high-speed parallel ADC system, and processing data with fast interpolation algorithm in a Floating-Point DSP. Through the new design of high-speed parallel ADC system, the receiving system is able to simultaneously complete the timing of four high-speed laser pulse signals acquisition and the storing of data. The new construction of high-speed parallel acquisition is a core module in this design. And a new flow how to the DSP handle the data with fast interpolation algorithm will also be introduced in this article.

Most microelectronics devices and circuits operate faster, consume less power, execute more functions and cost less per circuit function when the feature-sizes internal to the devices and circuits are made smaller. This is part of the stimulus for the Very High-Speed Integrated Circuits (VHSIC) program. There is also a need for smaller, more sensitive sensors in a wide range of disciplines that includes electrochemistry, neurophysiology and ultra-high pressure solid state research. There is often fundamental new science (and sometimes new technology) to be revealed (and used) when a basic parameter such as size is extended to new dimensions, as is evident at the two extremes of smallness and largeness, high energy particle physics and cosmology, respectively. However, there is also a very important intermediate domain of size that spans from the diameter of a small cluster of atoms up to near one micrometer which may also have just as profound effects on society as “big” physics.

One of the most important requirements for a high-performance EM, especially an analytical EM using a fine beam probe, is to prevent specimen contamination by providing a clean high vacuum in the vicinity of the specimen. However, in almost all commercial EMs, the pressure in the vicinity of the specimen under observation is usually more than ten times higher than the pressure measured at the punping line. The EM column inevitably requires the use of greased Viton O-rings for fine movement, and specimens and films need to be exchanged frequently and several attachments may also be exchanged. For these reasons, a high speed pumping system, as well as a clean vacuum system, is now required. A newly developed electron microscope, the JEM-100CX features clean high vacuum in the vicinity of the specimen, realized by the use of a CASCADE type diffusion pump system which has been essentially improved over its predeces- sorD employed on the JEM-100C.

In the past few years on-line digital television frame store devices coupled to computers have been employed to attempt to measure the microscope parameters of defocus and astigmatism. The ultimate goal of such tasks is to fully adjust the operating parameters of the microscope and obtain an optimum image for viewing in terms of its information content. The initial approach to this problem, for high resolution TEM imaging, was to obtain the power spectrum from the Fourier transform of an image, find the contrast transfer function oscillation maxima, and subsequently correct the image. This technique requires a fast computer, a direct memory access device and even an array processor to accomplish these tasks on limited size arrays in a few seconds per image. It is not clear that the power spectrum could be used for more than defocus correction since the correction of astigmatism is a formidable problem of pattern recognition.

Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) structures have excellent potential for future use in radiation hardened and high speed integrated circuits. For device fabrication in SOI material a high quality superficial Si layer above a buried oxide layer is required. Recently, Celler et al. reported that post-implantation annealing of oxygen implanted SOI at very high temperatures would eliminate virtually all defects and precipiates in the superficial Si layer. In this work we are reporting on the effect of three different post implantation annealing cycles on the structure of oxygen implanted SOI samples which were implanted under the same conditions.
