Proposal Number: ECS-9616291 Principal Investigator: Robert York Abstract: This is a Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) for the development of a compact and tunable sub-millimeter radiation source using integrated photomixing on low temperature grown (LTG) compound semiconductors. The SGER will be used to demonstrate the potential for efficient microwave/millimeter wave signal generation and to investigate the limitations of LTG materials for photomixing, an area of risk which makes this work appropriate for SGER funding. The source technologies developed within this research could lead to a simple compact and cost-effective implementation for broadband spectroscopy with many applications: environmental science, remote sensing, detection of hazardous chemicals and deep space exploration.

摘要：本项目为探索性研究（SGER）小额资助项目，用于在低温生长（LTG）化合物半导体上使用集成光混合技术开发紧凑可调谐的亚毫米辐射源。SGER将用于展示微波/毫米波信号高效产生的潜力，并研究LTG材料用于光混合的局限性，这是一个风险领域，使这项工作适合SGER资助。本研究中开发的源技术可以为宽带光谱提供简单紧凑且具有成本效益的实现，并具有许多应用：环境科学，遥感，危险化学品检测和深空探测。
