We propose to design, fabricate and develop an advanced SiC diode that can lead to (i) substantially reduced volume and weight of power systems, (ii) greatly expanded operating temperature range, and (iii) drastically improved power efficiency and enhanced radiation tolerance. We propose to compare and optimize different designs of the proposed SiC power diodes. We propose to fully develop the cri ...

THE PROPOSED THREE-PHASE PROGRAM ADDRESSES THE NATIONAL NEED FOR HIGHLY EFFICIENT PHOTOVOLTAIC ENERGY CONVERSION. IN PHASE I OF THE PROPOSED PROJECT, KOPIN WILL EXAMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF INTEGRATION OF A MONOLITHIC TANDEM CELL (FOR HIGH EFFICIENCY) WITH A CLEFT SUBSTRATE RECOVERY APPROACH (FOR REDUCED COST). OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE IS THE DESIGN OF A SIMPLIFIED INTERCONNECT AND HEAT TRANSFER APP ...

High-repetition-rate (>1 MHz), high-bunch-charge (up to 1 nC) electron sources, possessing the high gradients at the cathode surface that are needed for low emittance electron bunches, are critical components of next generation light sources, such as energy recovery linacs (ERLs) and free electron lasers (FELs), and are essential for other advanced accelerator applications. The high-brightness in ...

High-repetition-rate (>1 MHz), high-bunch-charge (up to 1 nC) electron sources will be critical components of next generation light sources, which will be needed to upgrade DOE user facilities. These electron sources must possess high gradients at the cathode surface to provide for low emittance electron bunches. In order to achieve the desired performance levels (= 1 mmmrad at appropriate bunch ...

Technology Service Corporation (TSC) proposes to identify Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) scenarios of interest, and assess a wide variety of advanced state-of-the-art Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies for post-intercept and other forms of debris, clutter, and electronic attack/electronic protection (EA/EP) applications in missile defense radars. The stu ...

An evolving set of missile threats will challenge Integrated Air and Missile Defense (IAMD) in the future. Advanced long-range radar is one component of a system to counter this threat, yet such powerful radars can also inadvertently detect and track a number of non-threat objects and signals in the environment. In Phase 1, TSC reviewed advanced methods in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine ...

The Nokomis will develop  a system capable of assessing both red and blue targets and support mission utility studies and Angle of Arrival (AoA) analysis efforts to support Air Force requirements for a robust predictive capability to support assessment of

In this program, Magellus will employ metalorganic chemical vapor deposition and novel device processing technologies to develop large-area III-nitride HFET devices and RF circuits that are capable of operation at high frequencies (above 20GHz), high powers and power densities (above 10W total power and 10W/mm power density), and high temperatures (above 300C). Magellus has developed several uniq ...
