Towards Low Cost Coupling Structures for Short-Distance Optical Interconnections
The performance of short distance optical interconnections in general relies
very strongly on coupling structures, since they will determine the overall
efficiency of the system to a large extent. Different configurations can be
considered and a variety of manufacturing technologies can be used. We present
two different discrete and two different integrated coupling components which
can be used to deflect the light beam over 90 degrees and can play a crucial
role when integrating optical interconnections in printed circuit boards. The
fabrication process of the different coupling structures is discussed and
experimental results are shown. The main characteristics of the coupling
structures are given. The main advantages and disadvantages of the different
components are discussed
High temperature mobility of CdTe
The Hall mobility of electrons μH is measured in CdTe in the temperature interval 450-1050°C and defined Cd overpressure in near-intrinsic conditions. The strong decrease of μH above 600°C is reported. The effect is explained within a model of multivalley conduction where both electrons in �1c minimum and in L1c minima participate. The theoretical description is based on the solution of the Boltzmann transport equation within the relaxation time approximation including the polar and acoustic phonon intravalley and intervalley scatterings. The �1c to L1c separation �E=0.29 - 10-4T (eV) for the effective mass in the L valley mL=0.35m0 is found to best fit the experimental data. Such �E is about four times smaller than it is predicted by first-principle calculations. © 2001 American Institute of Physics

What Causes High Resistivity in CdTe
CdTe can be made semi-insulating by shallow donor doping. This is routinely
done to obtain high resistivity in CdTe-based radiation detectors. However, it
is widely believed that the high resistivity in CdTe is due to the Fermi level
pinning by native deep donors. The model based on shallow donor compensation of
native acceptors was dismissed based on the assumption that it is practically
impossible to control the shallow donor doping level so precisely that the free
carrier density can be brought below the desired value suitable for radiation
detection applications. In this paper, we present our calculations on carrier
statistics and energetics of shallow donors and native defects in CdTe. Our
results show that the shallow donor can be used to reliably obtain high
resistivity in CdTe. Since radiation detection applications require both high
resistivity and good carrier transport, one should generally use shallow donors
and shallow acceptors for carrier compensation and avoid deep centers that are
effective carrier traps
A Carleman type theorem for proper holomorphic embeddings
In 1927, Carleman showed that a continuous, complex-valued function on the
real line can be approximated in the Whitney topology by an entire function
restricted to the real line. In this paper, we prove a similar result for
proper holomorphic embeddings. Namely, we show that a proper \cC^r embedding
of the real line into \C^n can be approximated in the strong \cC^r topology
by a proper holomorphic embedding of \C into \C^n
Abundances of Volatile - Bearing Species from Evolved Gas Analysis of Samples from the Rocknest Aeolian Bedform in Gale Crater
The Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument suite on board the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) recently ran four samples from an aeolian bedform named Rocknest. SAM detected the evolution of H2O, CO2, O2, and SO2, indicative of the presence of multiple volatile bearing species (Fig 1). The Rocknest bedform is a windblown deposit selected as representative of both the windblown material in Gale crater as well as the globally-distributed martian dust. Four samples of Rocknest material were analyzed by SAM, all from the fifth scoop taken at this location. The material delivered to SAM passed through a 150 m sieve and is assumed to have been well mixed during the sample acquisition/preparation/handoff process. SAM heated the Rocknest samples to approx.835 C at a ramp rate of 35 C/min with a He carrier gas flow rate of apprx.1.5 standard cubic centimeters per minute and at an oven pressure of ~30 mbar [1]. Evolved gases were detected by a quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS). This abstract presents the molar abundances of H2O, CO2, O2, and SO2 as well as their concentration in rocknest samples using an estimated sample mass
