    General properties of quantum optical systems in a strong field limit

    Author(s): Chumakov, S. M.; Klimov, Andrei B.
    Abstract: We investigate the dynamics of an arbitrary atomic system (n-level atoms or many n-level atoms) interacting with a resonant quantized mode of an em field. If the initial field state is a coherent state with a large photon ...

    Optical star coupler with large number of inputs and outputs

    Author(s): Saniter, J.; Schmidt, F.; Hermes, T.
    Abstract: Attenuation based on the power division is made linearly dependent on the maximum number of inputs and outputs, by cascading coupler elements. The coupler elements are connected together in such a way that only after the ...

    Analysis and preliminary design of optical sensors for propulsion control

    Author(s): James, K. A.; Quick, W. H.; Strahan, V. H.
    Abstract: A fiber-optic sensor concept screening study was performed. Twenty sensor subsystems were identified and evaluated. Two concepts selected for further study were the Fabry-Perot fiber-optic temperature sensor and the ...

    N2 pressure - broadened O3 line widths and strengths near 1129.4 cm-1

    Author(s): Copeland, G. E.; Majorana, L. N.; Harward, C. N.; Steinkamp, R. J.
    Abstract: A Beer's Law experiment was performed with a tunable diode laser to find the N2 pressure broadening characteristics of a single 03 absorption line at 1129.426 cm for N2 pressures from 10 to 100 torr (O3 pressure = 3.16 ...

    Integrated optical signal processing with magnetostatic waves

    Author(s): Fisher, A. D.; Lee, J. N.
    Abstract: Magneto-optical devices based on Bragg diffraction of light by magnetostatic waves (MSW's) offer the potential of large time-bandwidth optical signal processing at microwave frequencies of 1 to 20 GHz and higher. A thin-film ...
