提案编号：ECS-9616291 主要研究者：Robert约克 摘要： 这是一个探索性研究（SGER）的小型赠款，用于开发一种紧凑和可调的亚毫米辐射源，使用低温生长（LTG）化合物半导体上的集成光混合。SGER将用于展示高效微波/毫米波信号生成的潜力，并研究LTG材料用于光混合的局限性，这是一个风险领域，因此这项工作适合SGER资助。 在这项研究中开发的源技术可能会导致一个简单的紧凑和具有成本效益的宽带光谱与许多应用的实施：环境科学，遥感，危险化学品的检测和深空探测。

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.
