Not Available We propose to design, demonstrate and develop highly stable, single-mode vertical cavity surface emitting lasers (VCSELs) in 1 x N arrays (N > 8) operating at 1.3 ¿m at 1GHz bandwidths. Sensors Unlimited will use a novel design based upon flip-bonding, substrate removal and… More

NASA is considering an electromagnetic catapult, the MagLifter to lowerthe cost of cargo delivery to space and improve launch reliability. Acarrier sled, levitated and propelled by magnets, provides an inintialvelocity to a space transportation vehicle. For Large payloads, therequired energy for… More

NASA is considering an electromagnetic catapult, the MagLifter to lowerthe cost of cargo delivery to space. A carrier sled levitated and propelledby magnets provides the initial velocity to a space transportation vehicle.Superconducting magnets enable higher fields at lower weights than… More

70211 The high magnetic fields required for future accelerator magnets can only be achieved with Nb3Sn or other A15 or HTS type conductors, which are brittle and sensitive to mechanical strain. The traditional ¿cosine-theta¿ dipole configuration for these magnet designs has intrinsic… More

70326 Beam transport in inertial fusion induction accelerators requires reliable, compact, and low cost superconducting quadrupole arrays. These multiple beam transport systems are interleaved with induction cores for acceleration, which poses unique requirements on the magnet-interconnect… More

76295-Beam transport in inertial fusion induction accelerators requires reliable, compact, and low cost superconducting quadrupole arrays. To correct the field at the outer edges of an array, and to reduce the stray magnetic field to meet the requirements of the surrounding induction cores needed… More

The project aims at developing a reliable and responsive electromagnetic launch system. In the proposed concept, a magnetically levitated sled is accelerated to a velocity of 7 km/sec by a high power linear motor system for the launch of samll payloads. A novel design of electromagnetic guide system… More

High-field (~5 T) bent-dipole (0.7 m radius) magnets are required as part of a 180-degree-bend beam-transport region in the high radiation areas of a planned Rare Isotope Accelerator (RIA). The requirements for these magnets can be met by using a novel coil design called the double-helix dipole… More

The conceptual design of a novel, hypersonic electromagnetic launch system has been developed. Phase-1 assumed a 100-kg projectile leaving the launcher at 7,000 m/sec. The projectile is propelled and levitated by electromagnetic forces inside a tube filled with low pressure helium. A controlled… More

High field superconducting dipole magnets, with a field strength of about 4.5 Tesla and a bend radius of about 0.7 m, are required in the high radiation areas of beam transport in future rare isotope accelerators. However, the small bending radii of these magnets produce unwanted higher-order… More
