A microwave power module (MPM), which is a hybrid combination of a solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) as a driver and a traveling-wave tube amplifier (TWT) as the final high power stage, is a high-power device largely used for radar applications. A gain equalizer is often required to flatten the TWT output power gain owing to its big gain fluctuations over the operating frequency range. In this paper, the design of an X-band, fully-coaxial, easily-tunable broadband power equalizer for an MPM is presented. The structure is composed of a coaxial waveguide as the main transmission line and a coaxial cavity loaded with absorbing material as a resonant unit. Sensitivity analyses of the attenuation amplitude and resonant frequency of the equalizer in terms of coaxial cavity length, thickness of the absorbing disc, and insertion depth of the probe were carried out. The measured results were in good agreement with the simulated ones, showing that the equalization curve met the requirements well and proved that this optimal structure has the advantages of a large power capacity, a wide operating frequency band, is easily tunable, and good transmission performance.

A dual wavelength high power double-clad erbium/ytterbium-doped fiber laser with a narrowest spacing of 0.4 nm and a M2 value of close to unity is presented in the region of 1565 nm. This result can be realized with a significant improvement of the mode competition problem using a loop mirror as a comb filter. The wavelength region can also be varied using polarization controllers in the loop mirror. This dual-wavelength fiber laser with side mode suppression ratio (SMSR) of 40 dB is quite stable, and the output power variance is as low as 0.46 dB.

The over-potentials in a fuel cell due to ohmic losses and concentration polarization can be reduced if the gas delivery field and the current collection system are well designed. To obtain such a substantial understanding for designing the gas delivery and current collection system, this study proposed a model to theoretically analyze the current collection process, and finally a method and tool of optimization for scales of gas channels and current collection ribs is presented. The analysis found that small current collectors and collection area is advantageous for getting high power density in both PEMFCs and SOFCs.
