GaAs-GaAlAs heterostructure single-mode channel-waveguide cutoff modulator and modulator array

A GaAs single-mode channel-waveguide cutoff modulator that utilizes a GaAs-GaAlAs heterostructure and a linear array of such modulators are reported for the first time. We have measured a cutoff voltage as low as 9.0 V and an extinction ratio greater than 20 dB at an optical wavelength of 1.3 μm in a basic modulator that utilized a GaAs-Ga0.93Al0.07As heterostructure with a 0.9 μm thick GaAs epitaxial layer together with a ridge channel 2.5 mm in length and 5.0 μm in width. We have also succeeded in the realization of a high packing density (500 channels/cm) linear array of such cutoff modulators in the same GaAs substrate with equally satisfactory results. An RF bandwidth of 2.5 GHz has also been measured with the elementary modulator of such array. As in the case for LiNbO3substrates, the GaAs-based integrated optic modules that result from integration of such cutoff modulator arrays, microlens arrays, and planar acoustooptic or electrooptic Bragg diffraction grating arrays in a common substrate may be used to perform multiport switching, computing, and RF signal processing.

Growth temperature dependence of low-noise MESFET in molecular-beam epitaxy

The substrate growth temperature dependence of electrical properties for a low-noise MESFET fabricated on MBE-grown material has been demonstrated. The optimum noise figure and its associated gain were attributed to the higher epilayer quality and mobility at a growth temperature of 650°C between temperatures of 550°C and 700°C.

Adherence clustering: an efficient method for mining market-basket clusters

We explore in this paper the efficient clustering of market-basket data. Different from those of the traditional data, the features of market-basket data are known to be of high dimensionality and sparsity. Without explicitly considering the presence of the taxonomy, most prior efforts on clustering market-basket data can be viewed as dealing with items in the leaf level of the taxonomy tree. Clustering transactions across different levels of the taxonomy is of great importance for marketing strategies as well as for the result representation of the clustering techniques for market-basket data. In view of the features of market-basket data, we devise in this paper a novel measurement, called the category-based adherence, and utilize this measurement to perform the clustering. With this category-based adherence measurement, we develop an efficient clustering algorithm, called algorithm k-todes, for market-basket data with the objective to minimize the category-based adherence. The distance of an item to a given cluster is defined as the number of links between this item and its nearest tode. The category-based adherence of a transaction to a cluster is then defined as the average distance of the items in this transaction to that cluster. A validation model based on information gain is also devised to assess the quality of clustering for market-basket data. As validated by both real and synthetic datasets, it is shown by our experimental results, with the taxonomy information, algorithm k-todes devised in this paper significantly outperforms the prior works in both the execution efficiency and the clustering quality as measured by information gain, indicating the usefulness of category-based adherence in market-basket data clustering.

Micropatterned surfaces for control of cell shape, position, and function

The control of cell position and function is a fundamental focus in the development of applications ranging from cellular biosensors to tissue engineering. Using microcontact printing of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of alkanethiolates on gold, we manufactured substrates that contained micrometer-scale islands of extracellular matrix (ECM) separated by nonadhesive regions such that the pattern of islands determined the distribution and position of bovine and human endothelial cells. In addition, the size and geometry of the islands were shown to control cell shape. Traditional approaches to modulate cell shape, either by attaching suspended cells to microbeads of different sizes or by plating cells on substrates coated with different densities of ECM, suggested that cell shape may play an important role in control of apoptosis as well as growth. Data are presented which show how micropatterned substrates were used to definitively test this hypothesis. Progressively restricting bovine and human endothelial cell extension by culturing cells on smaller and smaller micropatterned adhesive islands regulated a transition from growth to apoptosis on a single continuum of cell spreading, thus confirming the central role of cell shape in cell function. The micropatterning technology is therefore essential not only for construction of biosurface devices but also for the investigation of the fundamental biology of cell-ECM interactions.
