Analysis of a resonant-cavity enhanced GaAs/AlGaAs MSMphotodetector

The authors have developed a 2-D device simulator for heterostructure metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodetectors. They have incorporated a model of multilayer optics into the simulator and used it to analyze the temporal response of a resonant-cavity enhanced heterostructure with a confining buffer layer and a distributed Bragg reflector (DBR). The authors show that through fine tuning the layer thicknesses, optical resonance enhancement of the light absorption can be obtained

Features of penetrating obstacles made of combined materials with strikers of different shape

Results of ballistic tests for obstacles made of combined materials in relation to striker shape are presented in the form of penetration curves. It is established that striker shape affects not only quantitative indices, but also the qualitative nature of these curves.Translated from Problemy Prochnosti, No. 1, pp. 60–62, January, 1992.

Diffraction characteristics of superimposed holographic gratings inplanar optical waveguides

A coupled-mode analysis of superimposed holographic transmission gratings in single-mode planar optical waveguides is presented. The diffraction characteristics are shown to be sensitive to the polarization of the incident wave, the angular separation of the output waves and the relative index modulation between the gratings. The coupling between gratings affects the diffraction efficiencies and decreases the angular and wavelength selectivities. Nevertheless, good channel separation and high fanout can be obtained together
