  • APPARATUS FOR OPENING AND CLOSING BREECH BLOCK AND CANNON HAVING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20130160636
    Abstract: An apparatus for opening and closing a breech block includes a cam follower, a housing, a first plunger, a rotation unit, a pressurizing unit, an open cam, a first elastic member, and a second plunger. In the present invention, in a state that the open cam is out of the range of a moving path of the cam follower so as to restrict rotation of the cam follower, the second plunger is inserted into the housing so as to support the pressurizing unit. This may allow a closed state of the breech block to be maintained after firing. Furthermore, in the present invention, a closed mode of the breech block may be converted into an open mode, through simple manipulations, e.g., by rotating the rotation unit, i.e., by moving the pressurizing unit.

  • Gain-clamped optical amplifying apparatus using fiber Raman amplifier having Raman cavity
    Patent number: 8077382
    Abstract: Provided is a gain-clamped (GC) optical amplifier using a fiber Raman amplifier (FRA) having a Raman cavity. The FRA having a Raman cavity comprises a Raman fiber module (RFM) amplifying and outputting an input optical signal and a resonant cavity generating a Raman laser and a gain clamping laser (GC laser), wherein the resonant cavity is formed as a feedback loop between an input terminal and an output terminal of the RFM. Accordingly, a gain of an optical signal propagating along a core of RFM keeps a constant value regardless of input signal intensity by generating the GC laser for gain clamping between a wavelength band of the Raman laser and a gain band of input signals.
