Advanced receiver technology for commercial threat warning systems
Advanced threat warning technology will begin to play a more significant role for Homeland defense and National security. Of particular concern are landing and take-off patterns of slow moving commercial airliners here and abroad. Recognizing this vulnerability has triggered renewed interest in high sensitivity internal gain optical detectors and 2D arrays. Avalanche photo detectors (APD’s) are the most highly sought after low-noise, high-gain photo sensors. They are being developed for highly sensitive LADAR receiver systems in autonomous munitions and for data communications (for example) and will be the “eyes” of modern commercial threat warning systems. This paper reviews several LADAR technologies and the corresponding requirements placed on APD’s. Performance of commercial and experimental APD’s will be discussed. Recent results on large format InAlAs APD arrays fabricated by the authors will also be presented.
Monte Carlo simulations of the bandwidth of InAlAs avalanche photodiodes
We present a Monte Carlo simulation of the bandwidth of an InAlAs avalanche photodiode with an undepleted absorber. The carrier velocities are simulated in the charge layer and the multiplication region. It is shown that the velocity overshoot effect is not as significant as simpler models have suggested. At high electric field intensity, the electron effective saturation velocity is only slightly higher when impact ionization is significant, compared with when impact ionization is absent. The simulated 3 dB bandwidth is consistent with experiments for gains up to 50.
Design of Fixture for Pitch Circle Diameter Run-out Check
The design of fixture is an exceptionally mind boggling and natural process, which require learning and knowledge. Fixture configuration assumes an imperative part at the setup arranging stage. Appropriate fixture configuration is urgent for creating item quality in various terms of exactness, surface complete and accuracy of the machined parts. In existing plan the installation set up is done physically, so the point of this undertaking is to supplant with installation to spare time for stacking and emptying of segment. Apparatuses are ordinarily grouped by the kind of machine on which they are utilized. Installations can likewise be recognized by a sub arrangement. For instance, if an installation is intended to be utilized for examination called as inspection apparatus. By using the new designed fixture, run-out checking become easier and process becomes simpler.
