摘要: A reconfigurable optical frequency selective structure having embedded therein:
(a) an array of optical antennas for picking up propagating radiation in a visible or infrared frequency region and achieving preferential absorption of electromagnetic energy at a target wavelength k within the region,
(b) an array of optical mesa structures of sub-wavelength scale including a phase-change material, the array of optical antennas being disposed atop the array of optical mesa structures respectively;
(c) a metal ground plane disposed beneath the array of optical mesa structures, the array of optical mesa structures standing above the ground plane or an interfacial layer and being separated from one another to inhibit parasitic capacitance coupling therebetween; and
(d) a plurality of heaters for selectively heating any one of the array of optical mesa structures to cause the phase change material in the selected optical mesa structure to change from an amorphous state, wherein the antenna atop the selected mesa structure is capacitively coupled to the metal ground plane, to a crystalline state wherein the antenna atop the selected mesa structure is electrically shunted to the ground plane via the selected mesa structure.-

摘要: A process enables growing thick stoichiometric crystalline and preferably IR-transparent optical PCMO material on Si and other substrates. Sputter deposition is carried out in oxygen-free inert gas (e.g., Ar) environment, which helps to prevent decomposition of the PCMO material over the substrate. In the disclosed process, there is no need to add a seed layer prior to PCMO deposition. Moreover, no post-deposition annealing is needed in a high-temperature and high-pressure oxygen furnace, but an anneal provides certain additional benefits in terms of improved transparency at IR wavelengths. Over a long deposition time for a thick PCMO film on the high temperature (≥450° C.) substrates, the PCMO deposition is made repeated cycles of deposition of the PCMO material at the high temperature, each deposition cycle being followed by cooling the PCMO-deposited substrate to a substantially lower temperature (

摘要: Some variations provide a method of making an additively manufactured single-crystal metallic component, comprising: providing a feedstock comprising a first metal or metal alloy; providing a build plate comprising a single crystal of a second metal or metal alloy; exposing the feedstock to an energy source for melting the feedstock, generating a melt layer on the build plate; and solidifying the melt layer, generating a solid layer (on the build plate) of a metal component. The solid layer is also a single crystal of the first metal or metal alloy. The method may be repeated many times to build the part. Some variations provide a single-crystal metallic component comprising a plurality of solid layers in an additive-manufacturing build direction, wherein the plurality of solid layers forms a single crystal of a metal or metal alloy with a continuous crystallographic texture. The crystal orientation may vary along the additive-manufacturing build direction.

摘要: Described is a system for Neuromorphic Adaptive Core (NeurACore) signal processor for ultra-wide instantaneous bandwidth denoising of a noisy signal. The NeurACore signal processor includes a digital signal pre-processing unit for performing cascaded decomposition of a wideband complex valued In-phase and Quadrature-phase (I/Q) input signal in real time. The wideband complex valued I/Q input signal is decomposed into I and Q sub-channels. The NeurACore signal processor further includes a NeurACore and local learning layers for performing high-dimensional projection of the wideband complex valued I/Q input signal into a high-dimensional state space; a global learning layer for performing a gradient descent online learning algorithm; and a neural combiner for combining outputs of the global learning layer to compute signal predictions corresponding to the wideband complex valued I/Q input signal.

摘要: A method and apparatus for verifying object classification includes comparing detected object-components with trained component-based descriptors and similarity measures to generate object classification verification data. The object classification verification data represents object classification confidence or misclassification errors to weight uncertainty for perception-based decision making. A sequence of similarity measures associated with a current frame and prior frames within a reference observation time constraint are compared to a reference temporal similarity measure boundary to generate the object classification verification data.

摘要: Some variations provide an atomic instrument configured with an optically transparent and electrochemically cleanable window, comprising: a transparent first electrode; a second electrode with an atom reservoir for first metal ions; an ion conductor interposed between the first electrode and a second electrode, wherein the ion conductor is capable of transporting second metal ions, wherein the ion conductor is in contact with the first electrode and with the second electrode, and wherein the ion conductor is optically transparent; and a transparent window support in contact with the ion conductor, wherein the electrochemically cleanable window is optically transparent, wherein the transparent window support, the ion conductor, and the first electrode collectively form a transparent and electrochemically cleanable window. The disclosed technique removes adsorbed low-vapor-pressure metal thin films from the interior of windows before they become opaque, which extends system lifetime and reduces optical power requirements.
