Resonant Cavity Enhanced Photo-Diodes for LWIR Communications
SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC Topic: AF151050ABSTRACT:The LWIR spectrum is well suited for moderate- to long-range free space communications because of its atmospheric window and low scattering by dust, haze, precipitation, and fog. The recent impressive laser development of QCLs is poised to provide the high speed LWIR transmitter for such a free space communication system; a corresponding advance in LWIR detectors is needed to enable the h ...

Hydrogenation of SLS for Defect Mitigation of III-V-based Infrared Detectors
SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC Topic: AF151132ABSTRACT:Type II strained-layer superlattice (SLS) materials are predicted to have much lower Auger recombination rates than those of HgCdTe, leading to lower dark currents; however, they are limited by Shockley-Read-Hall recombination via defect states near mid-gap. Hydrogenation is a technique that has proven to be effective in electrically passivating defects in various semiconductor-based devi ...

Non-Destructive Inspection Data Capture
SBC: Anautics, Inc. Topic: AF151162ABSTRACT: An organizational culture that promotes problem solving is necessary for success in any organization. Nondestructive Inspection (NDI) is the inspection of a structure or component in any manner that will not impair its future usefulness. The purpose of the inspection may be to detect flaws, measure geometric characteristics, determine material structure or composition, or it may characte ...

Multi-Attribute Reliability and Maintainability Engineering Assessment Methodology
SBC: Anautics, Inc. Topic: AF093193The ability of humans to make complex decisions is one of the most interesting aspects of human intelligence, especially when judgemental, ambiguous, absense, or erratic knowledge is concerned. This project focuses on the development of a methodology to classify multi-attribute alternatives into evidence blocks for evaluation in automated decision support processes. Anautics developed approach com ...

Ultra Low Power Electronics for Autonomous Micro-Sensor Applications
SBC: Sciperio, Inc. Topic: AF093159There are a number of sensors capable of detecting valuable information. However these sensors are many times only valuable if they are in a strategic location. To place the sensor in a strategic location it potentially requires some type of concealment and would also be remote. One of the biggest issues we struggle with power to drive the remote sensors. This can be solved using one of two ap ...

Decision Support System Based On Collaborative-orientated System Engineering Cpabilities
SBC: Anautics, Inc. Topic: AF083229As the Air Force (AF) begins the progression of applying systems engineering from the top-level definition of the system architecture down to a granular level of design it is very important to also realize the changes that will be taking place through Technology Insertion initiatives. Continuous system engineering is required to preserve the integrity of a system, facilitate the development of new ...

Corrosion Prevention Coatings
SBC: Sciperio, Inc. Topic: N/AMilitary aircraft are largely constructed from special aluminum alloys, which typically have secondary precipitate phases that substantially improve mechanical strength. However, these regions also promote corrosion in such common environmental conditionsas acid rain, saltwater, and thermal cycling. The problem is significant enough that the U.S. Air Force expends approximately $1 billion per ye ...
