CR1 has pioneered a process that allows, for the first time, the synthesis of a new generation of optical fibers made of oxide glasses of compositions other than silica, such as Y203-A1203. Stanford University has expertise and instrumentation to characterize fiber laser materials and evaluate device performance. The proposed research combines these capabilities to demonstrate feasibility of new ...

4H-silicon carbide power devices are expected to have 3x higher current densities and 200x lower on-resistance, while still operating up to 350 degree C. This is because of an order of magnitude higher breakdown electric field and a 2-3x higher thermal conductivity of 4H-SiC as compared to Si. Recent advances in 4H-SiC crystal quality, low doped epitaxial uniformity, dopant ion implantation, rea ...

The use of synthetic data for the generation of target signature templates is a vital element of current and future automatic target recognition systems. [1] [2] Although current synthetic signatures closely match their measured counterparts, they suffer from two shortcomings: 1) susceptibility to model error and 2) poor representation of signature variance. The current model validation relie ...

With the increasing demand for higher component density and higher source frequencies in electronic circuits, the requirements for signal integrity and electro-magnetic compatibility have become paramount. Although some solutions exist for simpler packaging and signal integrity problems, the more challenging issues are the design, computational analysis and testing of piece-parts and systems. Re ...

This SBIR Phase I project builds upon Digital Optics Corporation's experience in the design, fabrications, and integration of diffractive optics with lasers and electronics to provide an innovative laser beam steering approach for laser radar systems. The proposed method uses a spatial light modulator in conjunction with specially designed diffractive optical elements to provide a laser beam steer ...
