A reaction characteristic detector comprising a ladder assembly including a plurality of rungs, where each rung in the plurality of rungs comprises a reaction passage determiner spaced a distance from a point of an energetic material reaction initiation. Each reaction passage determiner has at least one characteristic that is configured to change in response to the reaction occurring proximate to the reaction passage determiner.

An optical electronic integrated circuit (OEIC) having optical waveguides as device interconnects. An optical waveguide is formed by depositing, in an oxygen-free atmosphere, a film of semiconductor material on a semiconductor substrate at a temperature that substantially diminishes the porosity of the film and the diffusion of material from the substrate into the film. The semiconductor film, which has an index of refraction greater than that of the substrate, is etched to form the optical waveguide on the substrate. The substrate also supports a plurality of active optical devices between which the optical waveguide extends. The substrate is preferably formed from gallium-arsenide and the waveguide from germanium. The active devices may also include these materials as well as aluminum-gallium-arsenide.

A hetero-junction tunneling transistor having a first layer of p++ silicon germanium which forms a source for the transistor at one end. A second layer of n+ silicon material is deposited so that a portion of the second layer overlies the first layer and forms the drain for the transistor. An insulating layer and metallic gate for the transistor is deposited on top of the second layer so that the gate is aligned with the overlying portions of the first and second layers. The gate voltage controls the conduction between the source and the drain and the conduction between the first and second layers occurs by vertical tunneling between the layers.
摘要:
The present invention is achieved by layering a dielectric slab between a ground plane and a two dimensional quasi quantum well heterostructure and by switching between an unbiased state and a negative potential which is established between the quantum well heterostructure and the ground plane. In the unbiased state, the device supports wave propagation in the dielectric with a phase velocity similar to that of a wave propagating in a parallel plate waveguide. Upon application of the bias voltage, that is establishing a negative potential difference between contacts based on either side of the quantum well heterostructure, the conductivity of the quantum well decreases. Therefore, as the carrier wave propagates the wave interacts with a boundary similar to that of a dielectric-air interface. This new boundary condition, in turn, produces a faster phase velocity. Hence, toggling the bias modulates the quantum well conductivity which changes the phase velocity of the carrier wave.
