RIMI: Fiber Optic Sensors and Smart Materials

9353126麦克林拟议的研究将集中在电学上而不是几何上结合电光材料中的发射器、探测器和被动模式。这项研究将包括建模和制造用于用作有源光纤的器件的碳化硅和锗材料，并实现光交换的大规模集成。此外，还将研究辐射对光纤光电系统工作特性的影响。在一项平行研究中，将开发电子能带结构计算，通过使用和扩展金属系统中使用的原理和能带理论技术来解释半成像半导体中的磁性。***

9353126 Maclin The proposed research will focus on combining the emitter, detector and passive modes electrically rather than geometrically in electro-optical materials. The research will involve modeling and fabricating SiC and Ge materials for devices to serve as active optical fibers and to achieve large-scale integration of optical switching. The effects of radiation on the operational characteristics of fiber optical-electronic systems will also be investigated. In a parallel study, electronic, band structure calculations will be developed to explain magnetism in semimagnetic semiconductors by using and extending the principle, band theory techniques used in metal systems. ***
