    摘要: Alternating layers of N+ GaAs (80 .ANG.) and N+ Ga.sub.1-x Al.sub.x As (300 .ANG.), all heavily doped with a uniform flux of Sn, and biased by 2V, provide a multiple quantum-well heterojunction structure for infrared detection with cutoff wavelength established by the choice of the value x which defines the depth of the wells. Fine tuning of the cutoff wavelength may be achieved by varying the bias voltage. By biasing the individual quantum-well layers progressively through a voltage divider, an avalanche mechanism may be achieved in the detector for signal amplification. The detectors may be fabricated in large two-dimensional arrays.

    摘要: An X-ray laser comprises a single crystal in the form of a thin film with an oriented set of prominent atomic planes so that when the crystal is pumped, X-ray photons which are emitted from one of the atomic constituents of the crystal, experience internal feedback (Bragg scattering) from the atomic planes thereby eliminating the need for external feedback. In addition the crystal functions as a thin planar waveguide confining the X-ray waves therein, thereby reducing the necessary pumping power and increasing overall efficiency.

    摘要: A detection apparatus and method for FMCW LIDAR employ signals that are modified so that low-cost and low-speed photodetector arrays, such as CCD or CMOS cameras, can be employed for range detection. The LIDAR is designed to measure the range to one or more targets and includes a single mode swept frequency laser (SFL), whose optical frequency is varied with time, as a result of which, a target beam which is reflected back by the one or more targets is shifted in frequency from a reference beam by an amount that is proportional to the relative range to the one or more targets. The reflected target beam(s) is/are combined with the reference beam and detected by the photodetector array. In the case of a sparse number of targets to be detected, Compressive Sensing (CS) techniques can be employed by a processor to reduce the number of measurements necessary to determine the range of each target.

    摘要: A detection apparatus and method for FMCW LIDAR employ signals whose frequencies are modified so that low-cost and low-speed photodetector arrays, such as CCD or CMOS cameras, can be employed for range detection. The LIDAR is designed to measure the range z to a target and includes a single mode swept frequency laser (SFL), whose optical frequency is varied with time, as a result of which, a target beam which is reflected back by the target is shifted in frequency from a reference beam by an amount that is proportional to the relative range z to the target. The reflected target beam is combined with the reference beam and detected by the photodetector array. By first modulating at least one of the target and reference beams such that the difference between the frequencies of the reflected target beam and the reference beam is reduced to a level that is within the bandwidth of the photodetector array, the need for high-speed detector arrays for full-field imaging is obviated.

    摘要: The invention discloses a semi-ring Fabry-Perot (SRFP) optical resonator structure comprising a medium including an edge forming a reflective facet and a waveguide within the medium, the waveguide having opposing ends formed by the reflective facet. The performance of the SRFP resonator can be further enhanced by including a Mach-Zehnder interferometer in the waveguide on one side of the gain medium. The optical resonator can be employed in a variety of optical devices. Laser structures using at least one SRFP resonator are disclosed where the resonators are disposed on opposite sides of a gain medium. Other laser structures employing one or more resonators on one side of a gain region are also disclosed.

    摘要: Tunable semiconductor lasers are disclosed requiring minimized coupling regions. Multiple laser embodiments employ ring resonators or ring resonator pairs using only a single coupling region with the gain medium are detailed. Tuning can be performed by changing the phase of the coupling coefficient between the gain medium and a ring resonator of the laser. Another embodiment provides a tunable laser including two Mach-Zehnder interferometers in series and a reflector coupled to a gain medium.
