Abstract:

The effort is divided into specific topics applicable to data processing. Those topics include the Dember effect, alignment of a ring laser gyro, measurement of the Fresnel drag coefficient, integrated optical switches, aluminum gallium arsenide waveguides, Fredkin gates, optically reconfigurable superconductive circuits, and an initial investigation into the application of an acoustooptical tunable filter to the interrogation of fiber optic Bragg sensors.
