Kigre's Phase I fiber amplifier development effort demonstrated 10dB of internal gain at 1.54um from 2.2 cm long section of MM-2 erbium ytterbium phosphate fiber amplifier pumped at 980nm. 26dB of gain was also produced from a 8.8com long section of thissame fiber pumped at 1480nm. Mode field image testing of a fiber show this MM-2 fiber to be perfect 1.54um single mode containment match to stan ...

DESCRIPTION: The research (Phase II) is designed to complete the initial validity (development stage) research on an intrafamilial child sexual abuse screening scale constructed from items in the Sexual Child Abuse Potential (SCAP) Inventory, so that the Inventory can be released for selected types of field use. Seven studies (Phase II) build upon preliminary s ...

The objective of this Phase II program is to achieve a prototype back-side illuminated solar blind AlGaN based p-i-n ultraviolet photodetector exhibiting a high solar blindness, quantum efficiency and a low dark current. The technical challenges in thisproject find their roots in the improvement of the AlxGa1-xN material overall quality for the very high Al concentrations needed in this program ( ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the research (Phase I and Phase II) is to design (Phase I) and to evaluate in a clinical trial (Phase II), a time-limited, theoretically and empirically based secondary prevention program (Thoughtful Parenting: Moment to Moment, TPMM) to reduce risk factors associated with the ubiquitous problem of child physical abuse. Specifically, the ...

The Architecture Analysis and Design Language (AADL) is an SAE standard language for describing the software and hardware architecture of performance-critical real-time systems. In addition, the AADL standard allows the definition of annexes, i.e., formal extensions to the standard language to enhance the design specifications of hardware or software components. We propose to leverage the AADL la ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Latino communities have been disproportionately impacted by the HIV/AIDS epidemic, especially Latino gay and bisexual men and transgender persons (GBT). The stigma towards homosexuality and HIV/AIDS has been proposed as one of the underlying factors leading to unprotected sex, hence, to HIV and AIDS. The stigma towards homosexuality and HIV/AIDS may put individ ...

This STTR Phase II project continues the development of a new glass (designated MM-i) for ion-exchange glass waveguides and amplifiers used in l.55 um optical communication systems. There is excellent commercial potential for these glass materials and the waveguide lasers (lossless splitters) and optical amplifiers that may be fabricated from them. To date, development efforts in the communication ...

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objectives of this study are to develop a new portable rehabilitation device with intelligent control to stretch an ankle joint with spasticity and/or contracture repeatedly to reduce spasticity/contracture in neurologically impaired patients. It will stretch the joint to true extreme plantar- and dorsi-flexion until a specified peak resistance torque is r ...
