    摘要: This invention is a new communication system in which multichannel broadcast digital services are distributed to each user with the broadcast services signal riding in the passband above a digital baseband signal. The system can deliver more than 1 Gbps additional bandwidth to each subscriber. The passband bandwidth will accommodate growth in downstream services including video on demand, higher speed web downloads including improved streaming audio and video, HDTV, interactive video, and personalized video. The invention requires only a single fiber path and a single optical receiver for each user or group of users. A single fiber, single optical receiver system is much less expensive than two systems, one transmitting baseband and the other passband. A single receiver is greatly cost beneficial to achieving economical fiber to the home.

    摘要: Sensors for detecting IR radiation, UV radiation, X-Rays, light, gas, and chemicals. The sensors herein incorporate freestanding carbon nanostructures, such as single-walled carbon nanotubes (“SWCNT”), atomically thin carbon sheets having a thickness of about between 1 atom and about 5 atoms (“graphene”), and combinations thereof. The freestanding carbon nanostructures are suspended above a substrate by a plurality of conductors, each conductor electrically connected to the carbon nanostructure. In one method of manufacture, a resonance chamber is formed under the carbon nanostructure by etching of the substrate, yielding a sensor wherein the resonance chamber is bounded by at least the substrate and the carbon nanostructure.

    摘要: An enhanced sensitivity laser vibrometer with increased output signal strength and more sensitive surface vibration detection, is provided by using a reflective mirror assembly to repeatedly bounce the sensing laser beam against the acoustic pressure-sensing diaphragm to magnify the acoustic incident pressure wave being detected. The enhancement in signal strength, in terms of power spectral density, is a function of the number of bounces squared and the detection of surface vibrations with a displacement of smaller than 4 picometers is demonstrated experimentally.

    摘要: A system for detection of optical type devices being used by an enemy sniper subject without alerting the enemy is shown. A coherent laser beam of a wave length in the visible color range, is sent along an axis and passing through a beam splitter device. A detection means is arranged to generate a signal when it detects retro-reflections from the target optical devices or subject including clutter reflections in a 180 degree direction relative to axis. The detection means is coaxially mounted with the source of illumination with a second detection means off axis therefrom to generate a second detection signal when it detects clutter reflections from the target optical devices or subject. A comparator means forms a difference signal between the retro-reflected detection signal and the second detection signal and indicates when the difference signal exceeds a predetermined threshold.

    摘要: A system and method for predicting the ratio of the strength of the carrier signal to the strength of nonlinear distortion (C/NLD) generated by a communications laser is disclosed. The method jointly evaluates the individual distortion components arising from laser clipping and from inherent laser P-I nonlinearity. According to the method, the laser P-I curve is measured with high precision to quantify the P-I nonlinearity. Various derivatives of the P-I curve are determined and then utilized to calculate C/NLD as a function of a communications network parameter such as the optical modulation index per channel or rms modulation index. Based on this information, the laser can be identified in terms of its sensitivity to RF drive variations in the field. Lasers can be tagged, etc., depending on their C/NLD sensitivity. In this manner, a laser having a C/NLD ratio appropriate for the requirements of a broadband transmission network, such as a SCM CATV system, can be selected and installed in such a system.
