The paper presents selected aspects of free space photoacoustics. The photoacoustic cell used in most of photoacoustic measurements introduces some limitations in receiving photoacoustic signal, which cause partial loss of photoacoustic signal energy. Use of photoacoustic cell results in conversion of a part of acoustical energy into different dissipative phenomena and/or processes which intensity depend on quality and design of the photoacoustic cell. Free space photoacoustic method offers capability of examination of perfect photoacoustic phenomenon without any vessels or constrains resulting from existence of a photoacoustic cell. Free space photoacoustic method can be applied not only to qualitative detection of ultra low leakages but also to quantitative measurements.

The paper describes a design, test circuit and preliminary test results of a programmable filter dedicated to photoacoustic experiments. The filter was implemented as a state variable filter with independent digital control of top and bottom corner frequencies as well as quality factor.

The system was based on digital direct synthesis of the input sine wave and true-RMS detection of the output signal.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a novel optical measurement technique for high resolution, high sensitivity 2D and 3D visualization of material inner structure. With the aid of OCT one can analyze a wide range of biological and technical materials in non-contact and non-destructive way. In our research we concentrate on possibilities of using OCT systems for characterization of polarization properties of investigated materials. We present a short review of polarization sensitive OCT topologies and principle of polarization state measurement.

Dispersion of optical elements and sample in optical coherence tomography (OCT) system introduce a wavelength dependent phase distortion to the light beam propagating in OCT system. This causes blurring of the image in high resolution OCT using broadband light sources. Also decreased resolution with the depth of a sample is observed. To avoid this, the overall dispersion of the system can be compensated using a dispersive material in the reference arm of a system. Unfortunately, the dispersion is changed in the system with the probing depth. Overcome to this problem is numerical dispersion compensation technique. Calculations can be made after the measurements have been taken to provide depth dependent compensation. Various techniques and their possibilities are presented.

The influence of bit-depth limitations in hologram quantization process in classical off-axis digital holography on the quality of reconstructed images, which are numerically derived by Fresnel transformation of the complex amplitude distribution in the CCD plane, has been investigated. It is shown that the standard deviation is independent on the object intensity level and it decreases together with the increase of the quantization bit depth. For the bit depth grater than 16, the deviation reaches plateau.

Regardless of the time passing by the Temporal Phase Shifting (TPS) method is still one of the most commonly used interferometric techniques of automatic interferogram data acquisition and analysis. It is known to be accurate and reliable. The main assumption of TPS is that a set of images acquired has a phase difference due to a perfectly implemented phase shift only. Several calibration algorithms used are modifications of the Carre algorithm. This paper focuses on the implementation and numerical analysis of the calibration algorithm proposed by Chen et al. It is based on seeking the maximum and minimum intensity values. This approach is less restrictive because it does not require any knowledge of the phase shifter performance or establishing a special phase distribution in an interferogram. Its overall robustness is expected to be better, especially in view of in situ calibration conducted before every measurement.

In this paper the influence of environmental conditions on subcarrier multiplexing in multimode fibers (MMF) is investigated.

Eye diagram and BER degradation with respect to a measured variation in the frequency response is investigated.

Phased array antennas have received an attention in radiolocation and radar technology due to the fact that there is no need for the physical movement of an antenna and a very fast angle shift of the beam is possible. The need for improving performance in such devices lead to use the optical beamforming. In order to design such system the usage of appropriate dispersion coefficient of time delay lines is required. This paper shows examples of such dispersion coefficient modeling together with possible and useful simplifications.

Photonic cross-sections play a crucial role in transparent optical networks. Designs intended for telecommunication networks are already well known, whereas those intended for sensor networks are still at a preliminary stage of development. The present paper presents a design and a model of a switch suitable for sensor networks. The idea underlying the design is the use of optical fibers with cores of relatively large diameters. The paper describes the basic assumptions adopted in the design, and the reasoning conducted to find the optimum configuration of the 1x2 switch microsystem. i.e. the switching lattice and its driver. The lattice is constructed of a fiber positioning circuit and an actuator. A model of the switch head for polymer clad silica fibers is presented. The underlying idea consists of the use of an electromagnetic actuator with a magnetic thumb-lock. This design enables the switch to be manufactured in short series and permits decreasing the dimensions of the entire microsystem.

It is becoming more and more difficult for the conventional PCBs with mechanically drilled vias and plated through holes to meet the current packaging density requirements. To overcome these challenges, new manufacturing schemes for high density and high performance multilayer PCBs have been developed. The polymer materials play important role in finding the cheap solution. Polymer materials are used to make reliable vertical interconnects in substrates made by SBU (Sequential build-up) processes. The SBU technology with conductive paste filled microvias can achieve a connection density of up to 100 pads/cm² while the conventional PTHs can reach only 20 pads/cm². The polymer base materials can be used to replace solders in PCB assembly. The exploitation data obtained from own research, and connected with applying adhesives in inner connections into PCB as well as connected with component assembly on PCB were given.

The electromigration on printed circuit test boards after soldering process was under investigation. FR-4 laminate, that is the most popular laminate for printed circuit boards fabrication, with 35mm thick copper layer was used in the test. Six various solders were applied in this work, which differed with silver content from each other. Some solder contained lead and copper. For electromigration assessment two tests were performed: Surface Insulation Resistance Test and Water-Drop Test. Silver presence in the solder do not decreased insulation resistance of test printed circuit boards. This implies, that small silver content in a solder does not increase electromigration of solder material. The "Water drop" test showed, that silver addition decreases electrochemical migration in continuous water layer on printed circuit board surface.

The constant tendency of miniaturization in electronic products and developments in surface assembly techniques creates requirement to prepare new techniques and processes also in the range of metallic coatings. An additional factor which influences the evolution of preservatives coatings technology is the necessity to adapt Polish law to European directive. From 1^st July 2006 there will be an obligatory RoHS directive banning applying lead in electronics. Electroless tin deposition is one of an alternative for Sn/Pb lead free preservative films on copper surface in PCB technology. Electroless deposition of tin coatings on copper can be made in two ways: from an alkaline bath - the process disproportionation of Sn(II) compounds and from acidic bath contain complex compound such as thiourea - the displacement of copper by tin in Sn(II). Alkaline baths are not used in printed circuit board technology because it has destructive influence on resists. Besides acidic baths complex compounds contain additional stability solution composition which modify structure of obtained tin film. Quality and thickness tin layer are fundamental parameters which determine its protective character. The research test were done in thiourea-type electroless tin bath. The influence of different parameters on n rate of tin deposition and thickness of Sn coating were determined: temperature of the bath, Sn(II)-salt, thiourea and HCl concentration. Tin layers were depositioned on electrolytical copper foil. The thickness of Sn coating was determined by coulometry in 2M HCl. The rate deposition process depends mainly on the thiourea and HCl concentrations in solution. The temperature is also a very important parameter. The thickness of tin layer grows when the temperature increase. Although above 70°C appear undesirable thiourea decomposition. The results of the investigation show that further investigations are necessary for this solution.

The presented results of investigations determine the first part of work made in PCB manufacturing field in Tele and Radio Research Institute.

The environment of insulating system in which making switch functions is air and atmospheric pressure. Air is applied as isolation and as extinguisher. Insulating system applying air is characterized by the lowest electric strength to breakdown. Despite the fact that insulating system applying air and atmospheric pressure is characterized by the lowest electric strength to breakdown from among other dielectrics which are applied in insulating systems, it has also some advantages. The air is safe for surrounding, cheap and moreover it retains its physical properties even when the making switch works in low temperatures. The object of theoretical analysis of the area of insulating contact system is to assess a diversity of electric field in contact space. The aim of theoretical analysis is to find in making switch, areas which have the biggest sensitivity to breakdown and determine features which are particularly crucial as regards electric strength.

We show that the electroencephalogram (EEG) contains individual-specific information, which can be extracted and used for identity verification. We applied both linear (Auto Regressive) and nonlinear (Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity) models to 16 second frames of one channel EEG down-sampled to frequency 60 Hz. We used parameters of this model as the features and employed a Mahalanobis distance-based classifier for identity verification of individuals. The initial testing for 10 persons using measurements distributed over a long period of time reached 88% of correct verifications, showing the potential of our approach, as well as indicating that the results are time invariant.

We propose an iris recognition technique using transformation of the iris image into a binary sequence that represents zero-crossing points of the filtered image by way of Laplacian of Gaussians.

The eyeball spontaneous rotation is corrected at the verification stage. The methodology was tested with a local database of 180 different irises, revealing the EER (Equal Error Rate) at the level of 0.03%.

The main concept of molecular computing depends on DNA self-assembly abilities and on modifying DNA with the help of enzymes during genetic operations. In the typical DNA computing a sequence of operations executed on DNA strings in parallel is called an algorithm, which is also determined by a model of DNA strings. This methodology is similar to the soft hardware specialized architecture driven here by heating, cooling and enzymes, especially polymerases used for copying strings. As it is described in this paper the polymerase Taq properties are changed by modifying its DNA sequence in such a way that polymerase side activities together with peptide chains, responsible for destroying amplified strings, are cut off. Thus, it introduces the next level of molecular computing. The genetic operation execution succession and the given molecule model with designed nucleotide sequences produce computation results and additionally they modify enzymes, which directly influence on the computation process. The information flow begins to circulate. Additionally, such optimized enzymes are more suitable for nanoconstruction, because they have only desired characteristics. The experiment was proposed to confirm the possibilities of the suggested implementation.

VoIP is a fast-developing technology which allows making telephone calls using a data network like the Internet. VoIP converts the voice signal from the telephone into a digital signal that travels over the Internet and then converts it back at the other end so that speaking to anyone with a regular phone number is possible. VoIP may also enable the direct calls from a computer with the use of a conventional telephone or a microphone. Some services using VoIP may only allow you to call other people using the same VoIP service, but others may allow you to call anyone who has a telephone number.
