The major hindrance in the way of integration of a laser source and an external modulator in ferroelectrics has for long been the lack of efficient waveguide lasers and amplifers suitable for integration in these materials. However, with the recent resurgence of interest in rare-earth doped, waveguide lasers in LiNbO3 and in view of the promising results already achieved, the on-chip integration ...

Cryogenic cooling objectives for space applications require reduced size, weight, and input power; longer life and increased reliability; and increased net cooling load. The Reverse-Brayton expander cycle has the potential to meet all these objectives. Previous efforts to implement this cycle for long-life cryocoolers utilized "room temperature" tilting pad bearings. The warm bearings provided ...

80 Development of an Inexpensive Mini-Optical Light Shelf (MOLS) Daylighting System--Architectural Energy Corporation, 2540 Frontier Avenue, Suite 201, Boulder, CO 80301-2400; (303) 444-4149 Mr. Neall Digert, MIES, Principal Investigator Mr. Michael Holtz, AIA, Business Official DOE Grant No. DE-FG03-97ER82331 Amount: $74,902 Approximately $71 billion is spent annually on the power needs of no ...

The U.S. Air Force has identified a need to develop innovative inertial sensor configurations and algorithms that utilize multiple low-cost, low-performance sensors to produce an inexpensive inertial measurement unit (IMU) with relatively high performance. A multiple-sensor IMU uses several low-performance sensors per axis and blends their outputs to attain an accuracy comparable to a higher-perf ...

This proposal describes a new optical phase-shifter technology incorporating analog ferroelectric liquid crystal (FLC) materials. This technology will be used to produce a phased-array beamsteerer that can be reconfigured in under 100 microseconds. Due to the analog behavior, the device promises high diffraction efficiency and low sidelobe amplitude. Because FLC materials are used, rapid switchi ...
