Electro-optic, Superconducting Analog Signal Processing Devices

由于最近高温陶瓷材料的发展，超导领域受到了极大的关注。虽然需要做大量的工作来开发这些用于电子应用(例如，生产高质量的非辉光薄膜、高质量的约瑟夫森结和其他基本电路元件)，但已经开发了其他高质量和合理的T_c材料，如Nb_2O_3，以展示各种电子电路。超导电子领域的未来看起来格外光明，因为这些最近的材料发展提供了未来的潜力。本提案涉及对半导体和超导组合电路的微波和光学特性的研究。尽管小组认为最近的事态发展已经过时，但它建议为其提供资金，因为它认识到，PI的观点将与这些并驾齐驱，并将敏感地注意到它们在他希望追求的设备领域的潜力。建议提供资金，其中49,840美元来自光波技术，20,000美元来自SSME。

The area of superconductivity is receiving considerable attention because of the development of the recent high-Tc ceramic materials. While much work needs to be done to exploit these for electronic applications (for example the production of good quality amosphous films, high quality Josephson junctions, and other basic circuit elements) other materials of high quality and reasonable Tc, such as niobium oxide, have already been exploited to demonstrate various electronic circuits. The future of the superconducting electronics area looks exceptionally bright because of the future potential offered by these recent materials developments. The present proposal deals with an investigation of the microwave and optical properties of combined semiconductor and superconductor circuits. Although the panel felt it was out-dated by the recent developments, it recommended funding it with the realization that the perspective PI would have kept abreast of these and would be sensitive to their potential in the device areas he wished to pursue. Funding is recommended with $49,840 from lightwave technology and $20,000 from SSME.
