Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and systems are provided for remoteable communication systems (Fig. 1). More particularly, the inventions of this system include a remoteable or distributed communications system having a plurality of front ends (Fig. 1, 110) located remotely from a base station. Each front end includes a receive side subsystem with an HTS filter (Fig. 1, 112), a non-linear modulator (see Fig. 1, 118), and may also include a low noise amplifier (Fig. 1, 116) coupled to the non-linear modulator (see Fig. 1, 118). The nonlinear modulator (Fig. 1, 118) modulates a RF signal in light prior to transport via an optical transmission path to the base station (Fig. 1, 160). Because the modulator is placed in the front end (Fig. 1, 118), no down conversion is required prior to transport of a received signal.

Abstract: Improved reproducibility of fabrication of superconducting thin film devices on MgO substrates is accomplished through use of the inventive procedure. As a first step of the process, the surface of the MgO is removed. Preferably, the surface is removed through argon plasma bombardment, whether with low energy or high energy ions. Most preferably, ion milling is utilized, with superior results being obtained by milling at 90 DEG to the surface of the substrate. The second step of the invention is to anneal the MgO substrate. This effects recrystallization of the substrate. In the preferred embodiment, the substrate is annealed at approximately 1050 DEG C in 17 % dry oxygen, 83 % dry nitrogen for 2.5 hours. Lower temperatures, such as 950 DEG C, may be utilized, though the anneal times, e.g., three hours or greater, impacts upon the commercial viability of the process. Higher temperatures, e.g., 1150 DEG C, permit steps in the surface to become unacceptably large, and often permit second phases to migrate to the surface of the substrate. Varying other factors, such as the oxygen partial pressure, change the optimal anneal temperature. Structurally, the resultant surface manifests steps or terraces, which comprise exposed peripheral edges of atomic planes within the substrate. Optionally, additional cleanings steps are performed. Devices fabricated from filling formed with the inventive method result in higher quality and more uniform devices.
