Laser Bandwidth-Induced Fluctuations In The Intensity Transmitted By A Fabry-Perot Interferometer, Gerhard Klimeck, Daniel Elliott, M. Hamilton Sep 1991

Laser Bandwidth-Induced Fluctuations In The Intensity Transmitted By A Fabry-Perot Interferometer, Gerhard Klimeck, Daniel Elliott, M. Hamilton

Birck and NCN Publications

We have measured the power spectrum of the intensity Auctuations of light transmitted by a Fabry- Perot interferometer when the input field is the real Gaussian field. The real Gaussian field is a field characterized by real, random (Gaussian) amplitude Auctuations. The bandwidth of the real Gaussian field was varied, taking on values less than that of the interferometer, as well as greater. Comparisons of the measured spectra with calculated spectra are quite satisfactory. Of special interest is a feature in the spectra centered at the laser-interferometer detuning frequency.


Diffraction Studies On Ni-Co And Ni-Cr Alloy Thin Films, A. R. Sethuraman, R. J. De Angelis, P. J. Reucroft Apr 1991

Diffraction Studies On Ni-Co And Ni-Cr Alloy Thin Films, A. R. Sethuraman, R. J. De Angelis, P. J. Reucroft

Nebraska Center for Materials and Nanoscience: Faculty Publications

Alloy films of Ni-Co and Ni-Cr of compositional ratios 1:1, 1:3, and 3:1 deposited by vapor deposition were studied by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Results of TEM analysis on the Ni-Co alloy films indicated that the films were face-centered cubic (fee) in structure. XRD results confirmed the TEM observations. TEM analysis of Ni-Cr alloy films showed that the films were bodycentered cubic (bec) in structure. With increase in the Cr content more than 25%, the material contained a higher fraction of an amorphous phase. XRD studies provide limited information owing to the quasi-amorphous structure of the …


Automating Tolerance Synthesis: A Framework And Tools, Stephen C.-Y. Lu, Robert G. Wilhelm Jan 1991

Automating Tolerance Synthesis: A Framework And Tools, Stephen C.-Y. Lu, Robert G. Wilhelm

Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Faculty Publications

This paper describes CASCADE-T—a new approach to tolerance synthesis that uses a complete representation of the conditional tolerance relations that exist between features of a part under design. Conditional tolerances are automatically determined from functional requirements and shape information. Tolerance primitives based on the virtual boundary requirements approach to tolerance representation are composed to form more complex tolerance relationships. Artificial intelligence techniques, including a constraint network, frame-based system, and dependency tracking are used to support flexible and detailed computation for tolerance analysis and synthesis.
