A SOLID STATE SWITCH FOR OPERATION AT CRYOGENIC TEMPERATURE IS BEING DEVELOPED THAT WILL PROVIDE MULTI-MEGAWATT POWER CONDITIONING IN THE RAPIDLY EXPANDING FIELD OF LOW TEMPERATURE ELECTRONICS. SINCE EXISTING CONTROLLED SWITCHES ARE NOT DIRECTLY SUITABLE FOR CRYOGENIC OPERATION, ONLY A FUNDAMENTAL APPROACH CAN DEVELOP STRUCTURES CAPABLE OF LOW LOSS AND RELIABLE OPERATION IN THE TEMPERATURE RANGE B ...

THE USE OF GLOBAL INTERCONNECTS IN DIGITAL OPTICAL COMPUTERSAT THE GATE LEVEL SHOWS THE POTENTIAL TO ACHIEVE GATE INTERCONNECT BANDWIDTH PRODUCTS OF UP TO 10**16 WITH POWER CONSUMPTION ON THE ORDER OF 100W. IN THIS STUDY, METHODS OFHARNESSING THESE INTERCONNECTS FOR WIDEWORD DIGITAL COMPUTATION PRIMITIVES SUCH AS EXCLUSIVE OR, ADD, AND MULTIPLY ARE INVESTIGATED. EFFICIENT IMPLEMENTATION OF THESE P ...

INFRARED SYSTEMS ARE NEEDED FOR A VARIETY OF DEFENSE RELATED APPLICATIONS, SUCH AS: SURVEILLANCE, TARGET DETECTION, ACQUISITION AND TRACKING, MISSILE GUIDANCE, ETC. FOR MANY APPLICATIONS SUCH AS THOSE INVOLVING COLD-DIM TARGETS, THESE SYSTEMS NEED TO OPERATE IN THE VERY LONG WAVELENGTH REGION OF THE INFRARED SPECTRUM, E.G. 15-35 MICRONS CUTOFF. IN THIS WAVELENGTH REGION, THE AVAILABILITY OF SUITAB ...
