Photonic and EO Device Characterization
Abstract
This report represents the work of eight (8) researchers providing support for six (6) ongoing programs at AFRL/SNH. The research topics include: (1) Optical properties of turbulent media. (2) InP based HEMPTs, MISFETs, and MSMs. (3) Bulk crystal growth of ZnO and GaN substrates. (4) Bulk crystal growth of InP substrates. (5) Mathematics of chromotomography. (6) Thermionic emission based thermal detectors. In order to establish the context of the work, this report is best read alongside the published papers and presentations of the primary AFRL scientists conducting the research. Among the new concepts and achievements that emerged from this work are: a new class of uncooled thermal infrared imagers based on Schottky diodes, two orders of magnitude improvement in the convergence rate of chromotomography algorithms, a new amenothermal growth technique for GaN substrates, and a 25 GHz InP wafer lined optical receiver.
