建议编号：ECS-9616291首席研究员：罗伯特·约克摘要：这是一项用于探索研究的小额赠款，用于开发一种使用低温生长化合物半导体上的集成光电合成技术的紧凑型和可调谐亚毫米辐射源。SGER将被用来展示高效产生微波/毫米波信号的潜力，并调查LTG材料用于光合作用的限制，这是一个风险领域，使这项工作适合于SGER资金。在这项研究中开发的源技术可以为宽带光谱学带来简单、紧凑和成本效益高的实施，具有许多应用：环境科学、遥感、危险化学品检测和深空探索。

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.
