|
 | A methodology for designing silicon complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuits (ICs) for implementation with optoelectronic (OE) technology is presented. Optoelectronic technology involves the bonding of laser detectors and transmitters to ports on the surface of the silicon IC. The ports that connect to the laser devices are metal pads that are placed in a gridded area array. The methodology focuses only on the design of the digital logic circuitry ... |

|
| This project focused on developing methods for fabrication of nonthermionic cold cathodes based on a lattice-matched material system consisting of a conducting substrate (source of electrons), a wide-bandgap semiconductor (conduction band closer to the vacuum level), and a low-work function material (to facilitate high emission of electrons). A material system fulfilling these requirements was found in indium phosphide (InP) as a substrate, cadmium sulfide (CdS) as the wide-bandgap semiconductor, and ... |

|
| A simplified 1-dimensional transmission light model of electromagnetic waves propagation in mine fields is considered. This model might be used as a first indicator of the presence of land mines. Next, the 2D inverse algorithm would image mines. It is shown that this 1-dimensional model is in general agreement with published Army data. |

|
| Iterative encoding methods capable of greatly increasing the performance of CGH's were investigated. An F/l holographic lens, designed with an iterative encoding method was measured to have a diffraction efficiency of 87%. This is the highest reported efficiency for an F/l element. A recursive Mean Squared Error Algorithm was developed to reduce the computation time. A hologram was fabricated to generate a 32x32 spot array. The experimental measurements indicated a ... |
