LASER DRIVEN PLASMA SOURCES ARE POTENTIAL X-RAY SOURCES FOR MICROLITHOGRAPHIC APPLICATIONS. UNFORTUNATELY, TO DATE, THESE PLASMA SOURCES HAVE NOT PRODUCED THE X-RAY INTENSITIES REQUIRED FOR LARGE SCALE MANUFACTURING. CHIRPED PULSE AMPLIFICATION, AN INNOVATIVE LASER ARCHITECTURE CONCEPT, COMPATIBLE WITH MOST SOLID STATE SOURCES, IS CAPABLE OF INCREASING THE PEAK POWER OF SMALL LASER SYSTEMS ONE THO ...

POC PURPOSES AN ADVANCED SOLAR POWER SYSTEM FOR SMALL SPACECRAFT THAT EMPLOYS A NEW TYPE OF HOLOGRAPHIC CONCENTRATOR TO SELECTIVELY CONCENTRATE DIFFERENT WAVELENGHTS OF SOLAR ENERGY ONTO DIFFERENT PHOTOVOLTAIC RECEIVERS. THE NOVELTY OF POC'S APPROACH INCLUDES THE USE OF ITS UNIQUE HOLOGRAPHIC TECHNOLOGY WHICH ALLOWS THE PRODUCTION OF VERY HIGHLY EFFICIENT LIGHT COLLECTORS IN THE ENTIRE VISIBLE AND ...

THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WAFER-LEVEL TESTING TECHNIQUE FOR MULTIGIGAHERTZ GAAS DIGITAL INTEGRATED CIRCUITS TO CHARACTERIZE THE TRANSIENT-RADIATION-INDUCED UPSET LEVEL IS PROPOSED. THIS CONCEPT WILL ALLOW THE OPTIMIZATION OF THE UPSET LEVEL IN HIGH PIN-OUT DENSITY CIRCUITS USING AN ON-SITE, QUICK TURNAROUND PROCEDURE FOR TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT AS WELL AS CIRCUIT SCREENING. THIS NONDESTRUCTIVE TECHNIQUE ...
