An array of nanowires having a relatively constant diameter and techniques and apparatus for fabrication thereof are described. In one embodiment, a technique for melting a material under vacuum and followed by pressure injection of the molten material into the pores of a porous substrate produces continuous nanowires. In another embodiment, a technique to systematically change the channel diameter and channel packing density of an anodic alumina substrate includes the steps of anodizing an aluminum substrate with an electrolyte to provide an anodic aluminum oxide film having a pore with a wall surface composition which is different than aluminum oxide and etching the pore wall surface with an acid to affect at least one of the surface properties of the pore wall and the pore wall composition.
The present invention provides improved optical switches in which no mechanical movement is required to direct optical pathways between plural fiber ports and light transmission is bi-directional. Advantageously, the inventive switches permit bi-directional light transmission. The inventive switches also incorporate light bending devices to allow two fibers to be coupled to the light beams using a single lens for compactness. In the inventive switch, an optical signal is spatially split into two polarized beams by a birefringent element, which passes through a polarization rotation device that comprises waveplates, walk-off elements, and an electrically controllable polarization rotator, and recombine into an output fiber, achieving polarization independent operation. The switches of the present invention rely on electro-magnetically or electro-optically switching the beam polarizations from one state to another to rapidly direct the light path.
Thermal Displacement-Based Radiation Detector Of High Sensitivity

International Classification:
B41J 2/05
US Classification:
2503381
Abstract:
A radiation detector comprises an infrared radiation sensing micro mirror array, where each micro mirror is supported with a deformable cantilever beam having an organic layer for increased dynamic range. The radiation detector includes two or more sources of optical radiation for irradiating the micro mirror array, an image sensor array for receiving optical reflection from the micro mirror array, and an aperture plate for (i) spatially restricting optical radiation reaching the micro mirror array and (ii) spatially restricting reflected optical reflection reaching the image sensor array.
A mechanical-optical transducer comprises a readout illumination source providing light having different wavelengths or different polarization states; an image sensor array for sensing the light from the readout illumination source; and a mechanical-optical device including sensing pixels whose optical property change in response to incident thermal infrared radiation, the mechanical-optical device having a reflective surface disposed to selectively reflect light from the readout illumination source to the image sensor array.

Travel is beginning to tick upwards in Massachusetts. Officials say it could be ‘quarantine fatigue.’
that people across the country had begun going outside more frequently and for longer trips. The upward trend following several weeks of stay-at-home orders in most states was called quarantine fatigue by Lei Zhang, the director of the universitys Maryland Transportation Institute.

A global north-to-south shift in wind power by end of century
is increasing rapidlyabout 20 percent a year. Karnauskas and colleagues Julie Lundquist and Lei Zhang, also in ATOC, wanted to better understand likely shifts in production, so they turned to an international set of climate model outputs to assess changes in wind energy resources across the globe. T
