THIS PROPOSAL ADDRESSES THE DEVELOPMENT OF A SOLID STATE LASER SCANNER FOR ROUTING A HIGH ENERGY LASER BEAM AMONG THE FIBER OPTIC ENERGY TRANSFER PATHS OF A LASER ORDNANCE INITIATION SYSTEM. A SOLID STATE LASER SCANNER WITH NO MOVING PARTS WILL ENABLE A MORE COMPACT AND DURABLE LASER ORDNANCE INITIATION SYSTEM. APA OPTICS' SOLID STATE LASER SCANNER UTILIZES INTERGRATED OPTIC WAVEGUIDES OF ALGAAS A ...

WE PROPOSE A PHASE I RESEARCH PROGRAM AIMED AT DEPOSITING SINGLE CRYSTAL BN FILMS OVER SAPPHIRE AND SILICON CARBIDE SUBSTRATES. OUR PLAN IS TO EMPLOY A UNIQUE PHOTO-ASSISTED SWITCHED ATOMIC LAYER EPITAXY PROCESS. THIS WE FEEL WILL REDUCE THE SINGLE CRYSTAL EPITAXY TEMPERATURE VALUES CLOSE TO 1400C. WE ALSO PROPOSE TO USE A UNIQUE MULTILAYER BUFFERING PROCEDURE TO DECREASE THE INTERFACE DEFECTS RES ...

WE PROPOSE AN AUTOMATED MOLECULAR BEAM EPITAXY (MBE) PROCESS FOR REPRODUCTABLE GROWTH OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE STRUCTURES. WE WILL APPLY RHEED AND THERMAL OSCILLATION TECHNIQUES TO CONTROL THE RATE ANDCOMPOSITION OF THE LAYERS AND TO ENSURE THAT THE GROWTH PROCEEDS UNDEROPTIMUM CONDITIONS. A MASS SPECTROMETER WILL BE USED TO CONTROL DOPANT INCORPORATION LEVELS. FLUXES FOR OPTIMUM GROWTH OF THE DIFF ...

AN EFFECTIVE METHOD FOR REDUCING FLUX TRANSIENTS IN MOLECULAR BEAM EPITAXY (MBE) EFFUSION CELL SOURCE IS PROPOSED. MBE IS A USEFUL TECHNIQUE FOR FABRICATING MANY IMPORTANT ELECTRONIC AND OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES WHOSE PERFORMANCE DEPENDS CRITICALLY ON REPRODUCIBLE MATERIAL STRUCTURES. TIGHT CONTROL OF THE STRUCTURES IS OFTEN HINDERED BY FLUX TRANSIENTS DURING SOURCE SHUTTER OPERATION. WE PROPOSE A M ...

CONVENTIONAL INTERCONNECT AND SWITCHING TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A LIMITATION IN HIGH THRUPUT PROCESSORS AND COMPUTERS. WAFER SCALE INTEGRATION IS ONE TECHNIQUE TO RESOLVE INTERCONNECT PROBLEMS. METHODS OF INTERFACING TO WAFER SCALE DEVICES WILL RESOLVE INTERCONNECT PROBLEMS. METHODS OF INTERFACING TO WAFER SCALE DEVICES WILL REQUIRE OPTICAL INTERCONNECT TECHNIQUES. IMPLEMENTING COMMUNICA ...

REAGENTS AND REACTION PROCEDURES WILL BE DEVELOPED DURING PHASE I FOR THE COUPLING OF ANTIBODY MOLECULES TO THE ACTIVATED SURFACE OF MICROCHIP CAPACITANCE SENSORS. PROPRIETARY PHOTOAFFINITY REAGENTS WILL BE SYNTHESIZED AND COUPLED TO THE ELECTRODE SURFACE FOR SPECIFIC COVALENT BINDING OF MONOCLONAL ANTIBODY (USING ONE OF THE TWO ANTIBODY BINDING SITES). THIS WILL LEAVE THE REMAINING STABILIZED ANT ...
