Grating-tuned external cavity diode lasers

Creator:: Falconer, Beate Stephan
Abstract:: Diode lasers have many advantages such as small size, high efficiency and small angular dispersion of the collimated beam. However they also have some problems like lack of frequency stability. They can not be tuned in wavelength. An external cavity can solve these problems and decrease the laser linewidth. To...

Time domain electromagnetic simulation of VLSI interconnects

Creator:: Falconer, Maynard C.
Abstract:: Current trends in integrated circuit technology are continuing towards physically smaller components and related structures. Interconnects between circuit components have reached sub-micron dimensions which can not be modeled accurately by the current ideal microstrip analysis based techniques. These techniques often assume that the structure being modeled is perfectly conducting, smooth,...

Effects of water quality and surface temperature on the scaling characteristics of cooling tower water

Creator:: Lahm, Lawrence
Abstract:: The fouling of cooling tower water was investigated as a function of heater surface temperature and water quality. In particular, the effects on fouling of the addition of calcium in excess of the amounts required for saturation were examined. First, the average bulk water temperature was 97 ± 1 degree...

A chromatographic method for fractionating histone and ribosomal protein

Creator:: Haley, Lawrence Robert
Abstract:: Histones are presumed to be of chromosomal origin and provide both structural and functional elements for chromatin. In like manner the ribosomal proteins are of ribosomal origin and have analogous roles. Considerable controversy over their cellular roles exists because of the inability to compare directly both groups of proteins. In...

The oxidation of triethylamine by thallium(III) chloride

Creator:: Arneson, Robert Lawrence
Abstract:: The oxidation of triethylamine by the two electron oxidant thallium(III) chloride was studied and the results compared to those when triethylamine is oxidized by copper(II) halides. This study requires anhydrous conditions since in an aqueous system thallium(III) chloride is extensively hydrolyzed and triethylamine causes precipitation of thallium(III) oxide. Most of...
