 | The method of analyzing the temperature performance of type-II Interband Cascade (IC) GaSb-based semiconductor lasers has been developed. The method includes comparing the temperature-concentration dependence at the laser threshold with steady-state carrier heating characteristics. The number of cascades in prototype type-II IC lasers has been optimized with respect to the highest achievable operating temperature. An ultra-sensitive single-pass measurement technique was developed to study optical absorption in thin-layered laser heterostructures. The ... |

 | Stark modulation of the wavelength of a midinfrared tunable interband cascade laser was studied. Wavelength modulation at frequencies exceeding 1 GHz was demonstrated. Estimates of capacitances inherent to the laser's structure suggested that improved packaging techniques could lead to modulation frequencies approaching 6 GHz. |

 | The Sleep and Performance Research Center (SPRC) at Washington State University will conduct laboratory and field studies of sleep loss and performance in normal humans. These studies will provide the scientific basis for the effective management of sleep to sustain performance in the operational environment, including all 24x7 operations, extended work hours, and shiftwork. They will improve effectiveness, productivity, safety, health and well-being in military and civilian operations, reducing the ... |

 | A new class of high power continuous wave room-temperature operated GaSb-based mid-infrared lasers and laser arrays was developed. World record devices were designed and fabricated. (1) 1W CW and 5W pulsed single laser operation was achieved in 2.3-2.5 micron range. (2) 500mW continuous wave (2.5W in pulse) and 160mW continuous wave (2W in pulse) was reported for 2.7 and 2.8 micron devices, respectively. (3) Linear laser arrays operating at 2.35 ... |

 | Network-centric warfare is the basis of doctrine and operations for the U.S. Army, Navy, and Air Force. Fundamental to network-centric warfare is the availability of accurate, detailed, real-time information at all levels of command and control. Network-centric operations and the associated self-synchronization put a premium on the performance of individual soldiers and small teams at all levels of command and control. A critical component of such performance is the ability ... |
