The scope of this proposed effort is to design and demonstrate a multi-band (S and X), wide instantaneous bandwidth (>1 GHz S-band and >2 GHz at X-band) range processor utilizing S2-CHIP technology. S2-CHIP, termed for spatial spectral coherent holographic integrating processor, is an analog optical signal processor that has the ability to process coherent multi-band, ultra-wide-bandwidth radar r ...

This proposed Phase I project is aimed at developing a turn-key highly-coherent laser system for commercial and high-performance military applications. The core technology of the proposed system is based on regenerative spectral hole burning (RSHB) materials. RSHB materials currently provide the narrowest optical resonance recorded in a solid state material. The ultra-narrow resonant structure ...

The output power and power added efficiency are the key performance parameters of modern transmitter/receiver (T/R) modules. The optimization of these parameters depends mostly on the RF characteristics of the active elements used in the T/R module output stages. GaAs FETs and HFETs that are currently used do not allow for high drain bias and large input signal swings. Power combining elements res ...

SET will develop commercially viable large area multi-epitaxial wafer technology for manufacturing of reliable high microwave power transistors and amplifiers for new generation of Transmit/Receive modules.
