The purpose of the lasercomm demonstration during the Trident Warrior 06 (TW06) exercise was to explore the performance of a high data rate free space laser communication system in the operational… (More)
Periodic arrays of apertures with subwavelength dimensions and submicron periodicity were fabricated on gold-coated tips of silica optical fibers using focused ion beam (FIB) milling. Interaction of… (More)
Optically transparent indium-gallium-zinc-oxide-based nand and nor gates and inverters were fabricated and characterized using transistors deposited at room temperature with 5-, 10-, and 20-μm gate… (More)
Short range, high bandwidth underwater optical communications links are potentially useful for retrieving stored information from underwater systems. However many underwater systems have limited… (More)
The fabrication of high performance amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) transparent thin film transistors (TTFT) and their bias stress stability is presented. N-channel enhancement mode… (More)
The significant amount of energy stored in a large high-field superconducting magnet can be sufficient to destroy the coil in the event of an unprotected quench. For magnets based on high-temperature… (More)
In this study, an active matrix pixel was fabricated and characterized using indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) thin-film transistors and a novel electroluminescent (EL) Eu:IGZO thin-film phosphor. The… (More)
We describe the fabrication and characterization of visible transparent small-scale indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) integrated circuits. The IGZO channel and indium tin oxide (ITO) contacts and… (More)
An underwater optical communications system that implements forward error correction is demonstrated. The system uses a 405 nm diode laser to transmit on-off-keying (OOK) return-to-zero modulated… (More)
One issue with underwater sensors is how to efficiently transfer large amounts of data collected by the node to an interrogating platform such as an underwater vehicle. It is often impractical to… (More)
