Acoustical Scanning of Optical Images

Abstract

The fiber-optic laser probe has been used as a diagnostic tool to identify loss mechanisms in monolithic storage correlators, generating suggestions for improved device efficiency. Schottky diode correlators have been operated in the input correlation mode, demonstrating that it is possible to charge Schottky diodes slowly as p-n diodes with proper voltage amplitudes. Schottky diode correlator theory has been modified to account for charge leakage effects and comparisons with experimental results have been made. A new signal processing device, the SAW/FET, has been introduced which interfaces high-speed analog signs with low speed digital ones. Experimental results are presented.
