  • Investigation of electric field-induced optical absorption changed in CdS

    Creator:
    Shimoda, Raynor Yoichi
    Abstract:
    The feasibility of using the Franz-Keldysh effect in practical light intensity controlling devices was investigated. Reverse-biased diodes made from CdS were implemented to obtain high electric fields necessary for the effect. The three types of diodes studies were: MIS, metal-semiconductor barrier, and p⁺-n heterojunction. An expression for the change in...

    Myers, Robert A. (Robert Allan), 1962-
    Abstract:
    Coplanar microstrip structures placed on dielectric substrates are used as high frequency electro-optic modulators. The method of lines, a mathematical technique for solving partial differential equations, has been applied to solve for the propagation characteristics of such a configuration. It has been determined that simple transmission line models are adequate...

  • Fiber Bragg grating-tunable diode laser

    Creator:
    Ericksen, Doug
    Abstract:
    Continuously tunable diode laser sources coupled to single-mode fiber are useful sources for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors. This paper describes the development and fabrication of such a device. An introduction is given describing applications of tunable lasers and some of the different methods of creating a tunable diode...

  • Radiation effects in III-V compound semiconductor heterostructure devices

    Creator:
    Li, ChyiShiun
    Abstract:
    The radiation effects in III-V heterojunction devices are investigated in this thesis. Two types of heterojunction devices studied are InGaP/GaAs single heterojunction bipolar transistors (SHBTs) and GaN-based heterojunction light emitting diodes (LEDs). InGaP/GaAS HBTs are investigated for high energy (67 and 105 MeV) proton irradiation effects while GaN heterojunction LEDs...

  • Design techniques for high efficiency high current LED drivers

    Creator:
    Rao, Sachin B.
    Abstract:
    Solid-state based lighting offers a number of advantages such as long life, high efficiency and compactness compared to a conventional halogen tube based lighting. Due to these advantages they are being increasingly used in a variety of lighting applications including portable devices, home, and automotive lighting. Consequently, there has been...

    Abstract:
    The increasing popularity of cellular phones with integrated cameras in the recent past has led to major improvements in its image quality. However, integration of new features, such as mobile email, video streaming, MP3 etc. tend to put the limitation on image quality as camera phone designers struggle to manage...
