    摘要: A waveguide gas laser is disclosed wherein narrow resonances in the loss vs. wavelength characteristics of a hollow waveguide laser resonator are employed to achieve wavelength selectivity. The laser includes a capillary bore waveguide of radius a and length 2L (or length L in a half-symmetric arrangement) which contains a laser gas having a laser transition capable of providing stimulated emission of light at wavelength .lambda.. The aforementioned loss resonances are achieved when the waveguide dimensions and the wavelength .lambda. are of preselected values satisfying the relation ##EQU1## where N is a positive integer.

    摘要: A compact scanned antenna which includes a radiator, a rotatable tube and a line source. The radiator is formed by plating a shaped dielectric core. It generates an antenna beam at an output aperture in response to a microwave signal at an input port. The line source generates a radiation sheet which is directed across a signal plane to the input pot. The tube has a cylindrical wall which is positioned across the signal plane. As the tube rotates, refractive or diffractive transmission structures pass through the signal plane. The refractive structures include linear segments which refract the wavefront of the radiation sheet. Because the wavefront slope at the radiator's aperture is a function of the wavefront slope at its input port, the antenna beam is scanned. The linear contour segments have the same inclination but are not colinear. This arrangement reduces the thickness of the tube wall. Phase coherence is achieved by an appropriate radial spacing of adjacent ends of contour segments. The diffractive structures are arranged to vary the spacing of diffraction rings as they pass through the signal plane. This produces scanned, first-order antenna beams. The line source is adapted to direct a predetermined one of these beams into the radiator.

    摘要: An antenna system includes a set of symmetrically located center-fed and segmented dipole antennas embedded on top of a frequency selective photonic bandgap crystal. A two-dimensional array of microelectromechanical (MEM) transmission line switches is incorporated into the dipole antennas to connect the segments thereof. An MEM switch is located at the intersection between any two adjacent segments of the antenna arm. The segments can be connected (disconnected) by operating the switch in the closed (open) position. Appropriate manipulation or programming of the MEM switches will change the radiation pattern, scanning properties and resonance frequency of the antenna array. In addition, an MEM switch is inserted into the crystal to occupy a lattice site in the 3-dimensional crystal lattice. The crystal will have a broadband stopgap if the MEM switch operates in the closed position (perfect symmetry of the crystal), and will produce a narrowband absorption line inside the stopgap if the MEM switch is in the open position, thereby permitting change in real time of the frequency response of the crystal.

    摘要: Apparatus is provided comprising a laser source, collimating optics for collimating light provided by the laser source, focusing optics for focusing the collimated light provided by the collimating optics, and a detector array disposed at the focal plane of the focusing optics. Two surface acoustic wave transducers are disposed adjacent to one another and adjacent to an optical path between the collimating and focusing optics. The surface acoustic wave transducers are individually connected to antennas which are oriented substantially parallel to one another. The surface acoustic wave transducers launch surface acoustic waves which interact with the laser light and cause the light to be deflected in proportion to the amplitude and frequency of signals applied to the surface acoustic wave transducers by the antennas. The beams deflected by the two surface acoustic waves result in an interference pattern created at the detector array. A microcomputer is provided and coupled to the detector array for comparing the amplitude of the main sidelobes of the interference pattern which is indicative of the direction of arrival of energy received by the two antennas.

    摘要: A beam of ammonia molecules including the isotopes N.sup.15 H.sub.3 and N.sup.14 H.sub.3 is generated wherein some of the molecules of each isotope reside in an asymmetric energy state and other of the molecules of each isotope reside in a symmetric energy state. The symmetric state molecules are removed from the beam in a first state selector to provide a beam containing substantially only asymmetric state molecules of each isotope. The latter beam is fed to a resonant microwave cavity where it interacts with microwaves of a frequency inducing asymmetric state to symmetric state transitions for molecules of one of the isotopes but not for molecules of the other isotope. Either the asymmetric state molecules or the symmetric state molecules are removed from the resultant beam in a second state selector to provide a beam containing substantially only molecules of the other energy state enriched in the isotope N.sup.15 H.sub.3.

    摘要: Electronically tunable optical filters are disclosed wherein a spatially varying dc electric field is applied to successive regions of a birefringent crystalline medium disposed between a pair of suitably oriented polarizers along the path of a light beam to be filtered. The dc electric field, which may be either parallel or perpendicular to the light path, electro-optically produces in the birefringent medium an effective oscillation of the optic axis of the medium about the pass direction of the input polarizer in a plane perpendicular to the light path as a function of distance along the light path with a predetermined spatial variation to achieve a desired filter transmission characteristic. The electric field is generated from programmable control voltages to provide a wide variety of filter passband or stopband characteristics.

    摘要: A laser beam frequency modulation demodulator is disclosed utilizing the highly linear frequency versus voltage characteristic of the absorption resonance provided by a Stark-effect cell. An error signal, generated by dither modulation of the Stark-effect cell voltage, is fed back to the Stark-effect cell via a low-pass filter to cause the absorption resonance to track the instantaneous frequency of the laser beam. The feedback signal applied to the Stark-effect cell has an amplitude proportional to the frequency modulation on the laser beam.
