    摘要: A tunable bolometer device for detecting infrared light (IR) from a target at specific frequencies and in a broadband mode. The device may have an array of pixels of which each is controllable to be sensitive to a particular wavelength of light that is selected and detected. The detection of particular frequencies on a pixel level may result in spectral analysis of the target. Further, each pixel of the bolometer via an associated etalon may be tuned to detect a different frequency of IR or be switched to broadband detection of IR. The device may be packaged in an integrated vacuum package where the etalon array becomes the topcap which is bonded to the wafer containing the bolometer array.

    摘要: A method and system for detecting concealed weapons and explosives by imaging THz scenes using conventional optics and detectors is provided. Photon fields with two different wavelengths can be sent through a chopper and towards a wavelength-selective mirror. A light beam with a wavelength in the visible or IR range is sent toward a visible photon array detector. Similarly, light beams with wavelengths in the THz range can be sent towards a target, which are reflected and/or absorbed by objects in the target. The reflected or transmitted light continues on through an optional filter to remove background light, then into a non-imaging detector. The visible photon array detector can be coupled with the non-imaging detector, which will register an image of the scene that is illuminated by the THz photons.

    摘要: An atomic clock having a physics package that includes a vacuum chamber cavity that holds atoms of Rb-87 under high vacuum conditions, an optical bench having a single laser light source, a local oscillator, a plurality of magnetic field coils, an antenna, at least one photo-detector and integrated control electronics. The single laser light source has a fold-retro-reflected design to create three retro-reflected optical beams that cross at 90° angles relative to one another in the vacuum chamber cavity. This design allows the single laser light source to make the required six trapping beams needed to trap and cool the atoms of Rb-87. The foregoing design makes possible atomic clocks having reduced size and power consumption and capable of maintaining an ultra-high vacuum without active pumping.

    摘要: A start-up circuit having a micro crush capacitor that is operatable with a small pressure. The crush capacitor may be connected to a silicon controlled rectifier or similar device. Applying the pressure to the crush capacitor may turn on the SCR which may in turn activate a sensor. The circuit may be fabricated on a flexible substrate which together may be regarded as a flexible circuit. The flexible circuit may be held down on a back plate with a form plate clamping the circuit at its perimeter edge. The flexible circuit may be held firm with the plates for component insertion and/or circuit testing.

    摘要: A pressure sensor is formed on a substrate, the surface of the substrate having a p-n junction and a shell with a beam inside the shell over the p-n junction. The beam and the shell and the p-n junction surface form optical Fabry-Pérot cavities. An optical fiber is positioned in a hole formed in the underside of the substrate below the p-n junction. Light from the fiber charges the p-n junction and drives it into vibration mode. Pressure changes change the tension in the diaphram to vary the frequency with changes in pressure, so that pressure can be detected.

    摘要: A microelectrical mechanical system (MEMS) microthruster array is disclosed. The MEMS microthruster array of the present invention can be used for maintaining inter satellite distance in small satellites. One microthruster array includes numerous microthruster propulsion cells, each having a vacuum enclosed explosive igniter disposed on one side by a breakable diaphragm and having a propellant-filled chamber on the opposite side of the diaphragm. Upon explosion of the explosive igniter, the first diaphragm breaks, which, together with the explosion of the explosive igniter, causes the propellant to expand rapidly, thereby providing exhaust gases which are ejected from an exterior face of the microthruster propulsion array, thereby providing a small unit of thrust.

    摘要: A very high temperature microbeam sensor of a resonant integrated microstructure having an electrostatic beam driver and an optical fiber pick-up for sensed light from the beam. The high temperature sensor has no components that are vulnerable to temperatures up to 600 degrees C. Associated components for detection, processing and driving are remote from the sensor environment. By using different materials in the beam assembly, such as tungsten for the beam, and sapphire for the substrate and the shell, the sensor can withstand temperatures up to 1000 degrees C. Also, optical fiber may be used for long distance connections between processing electronics and the driver in the sensing device, by locating a photo detector just outside the very or ultra high temperature sensing environment, and then using optical fiber for sending long distance signals from the processor to the driver photo detector, for eliminating electrical signal-to-noise problems.

    摘要: A method of fabricating vapor cells comprises forming a plurality of vapor cell dies in a first wafer having an interior surface region and a perimeter, and forming a plurality of interconnected vent channels in the first wafer. The vent channels provide at least one pathway for gas from each vapor cell die to travel outside of the perimeter of the first wafer. The method further comprises anodically bonding a second wafer to one side of the first wafer, and anodically bonding a third wafer to an opposing side of the first wafer. The vent channels allow gas toward the interior surface region of the first wafer to be in substantially continuous pressure-equilibrium with gas outside of the perimeter of the first wafer during the anodic bonding of the second and third wafers to the first wafer.
