Literature review (Progress report)

Project title: Constructing a computer interfaced swept wavelength Laser.

My project is on developing a current driver and cooling circuit for visible diode lasers.

Requirements:

- This assignment (Literature review-progress report) carries 40% weightage so it's really important.
- Minimum 30 pages( Font: Times new roman; font size:12,headings-14, IEEE format)
- Assignment has to be written according to the Literature review rubric as below:

ENGG805 Literature Review (progress report)

Assessment Attribute Expectation

(In the grey cells on the RHS, provide a rating to represent the standard of student's achievement)

Introduction and Problem Statement

- Introduction to the project is clearly stated.
- Problem or problems have been defined clearly.

Knowledge of Contextual Factors

- Literature review is relevant and comprehensive.
- Information and ideas are critically evaluated.
- Literature sources used are of high-quality.
- Review is critically presented in a logical flow.

Organization and Presentation

- Writing is clear, logical, and succinct.
- Review follows from generic ideas to specific conclusions

Independence

- Demonstration of Intellectual Independence

- I have also attached one document relevant to my project only for reference.(that's a complete project not the literature review-progress report).

- Assignment has to follow proper in-texting and referencing(Harvard referencing); reference list must be correct, academic and long.

- The assignment format should be strictly ( IEEEtran.zip) or (2014_04_msw_a4_format.doc). The format files are attached in the mail.Abstract-This electronic document is a "live" template and already defines the components of your paper [title, text, heads, etc.] in its style sheet.

*CRITICAL: Do Not Use Symbols, Special Characters, or Math in Paper Title or Abstract. (Abstract)

I. INTRODUCTION (HEADING 1)

This template, modified in MS Word 2007 and saved as a "Word 97-2003 Document" for the PC, provides authors with most of the formatting specifications needed for preparing electronic versions of their papers. All standard paper components have been specified for three reasons: (1) ease of use when formatting individual papers, (2) automatic compliance to electronic requirements that facilitate the concurrent or later production of electronic products, and (3) conformity of style throughout a conference proceedings. Margins, column widths, line spacing, and type styles are built-in; examples of the type styles are provided throughout this document and are identified in italic type, within parentheses, following the example. Some components, such as multi-leveled equations, graphics, and tables are not prescribed, although the various table text styles are provided. The formatter will need to create these components, incorporating the applicable criteria that follow.

II. EASE OF USE
A. Selecting a Template (Heading 2)
First, confirm that you have the correct template for your paper size. This template has been tailored for output on the A4 paper size. If you are using US letter-sized paper, please close this file and download the file "MSW_USltr_format".
B. Maintaining the Integrity of the Specifications

The template is used to format your paper and style the text. All margins, column widths, line spaces, and text fonts are prescribed; please do not alter them. You may note peculiarities. For example, the head margin in this template measures proportionately more than is customary. This measurement and others are deliberate, using specifications that anticipate your paper as one part of the entire proceedings, and not as an independent document. Please do not revise any of the current designations.

III. PREPARE YOUR PAPER BEFORE STYLING
Before you begin to format your paper, first write and save the content as a separate text file. Keep your text and graphic files separate until after the text has been formatted and styled. Do not use hard tabs, and limit use of hard returns to only one return at the end of a paragraph. Do not add any kind of pagination anywhere in the paper. Do not number text heads-the template will do that for you.

Finally, complete content and organizational editing before formatting. Please take note of the following items when proofreading spelling and grammar:

A. Abbreviations and Acronyms
Define abbreviations and acronyms the first time they are used in the text, even after they have been defined in the abstract. Abbreviations such as IEEE, SI, MKS, CGS, sc, dc, and rms do not have to be defined. Do not use abbreviations in the title or heads unless they are unavoidable.

B. Units
- Use either SI (MKS) or CGS as primary units. (SI units are encouraged.) English units may be used as secondary units (in parentheses). An exception would be the use of English units as identifiers in trade, such as "3.5-inch disk drive."
- Avoid combining SI and CGS units, such as current in amperes and magnetic field in oersteds. This often leads to confusion because equations do not balance dimensionally. If you must use mixed units, clearly state the units for each quantity that you use in an equation.
- Do not mix complete spellings and abbreviations of units: "Wb/m2" or "webers per square meter," not "webers/m2." Spell units when they appear in text: "...a few henries," not "...a few H."

- Use a zero before decimal points: "0.25," not ".25." Use "cm3," not "cc." (bullet list)
