Show Abstract
A transducer array consisting of a large number of separated sets of electrodes plated on a single piezoelectric plate of uniform thickness is described. Each set of electrodes is made to act essentially independently by placing them sufficiently far apart and employing an essentially trapped energy mode. Experimental results obtained with a linear array on PZT‐7A show that the isolation is very good over a bandwidth of about 14%, close to the calculated bandwidth of 12.8%.

Show Abstract
This paper shows that tha altered energy gap caused by the acoustic domains in CdS lies between the fundamental optical band gaps ec and ec (e: polarization of the incident light; c: c axis of the crystal). The experimental results take into account the errors for both the finite beam diameter and the rotation of polarization of incident light due to scattering.

Show Abstract
Nucleation sites of thermal oxidation‐induced stacking faults in Czochralski‐grown silicon crystals have been studied by transmission electron microscopy. Such sites are commonly found to consist of oxide precipitate‐dislocation complexes, which appear as center etch pits in line figures delineating faults in optical observations. Embryonic faults were detected in these complexes. These results are strong evidence that stacking faults in silicon result from dissociation of (1/2) 〈110〉 dislocations on a sessile {111} plane.

Show Abstract
We believe that we have observed planar channeling of As in the open {112} plane of Si by measurement of the depth distribution of electrically active As implanted in Si at 800 keV. The assumed planar‐channeled distribution is sharply peaked and is found for ions directed 0.55 ° away from the 〈110〉 axis in the direction of the {112} plane. This distribution occurs 2.6 μm in depth with a FWHM of only 800 Å and contains 3% of the total 1.5×1012 cm−2 implanted As ions. The corresponding sharply peaked 〈110〉 axial‐channeled As distribution occurs 5.5 μm in depth with a FWHM of 0.40 μm and contains 28% of the implanted As ions. The axial‐channeling distribution degrades as the angle away from the 〈110〉 axis increases until at 0.55° the planar‐channeling distribution occurs abruptly and the axial‐channeling distribution nearly disappears. The electronic stopping power of Si for 800‐keV As ions in the {112} plane is determined to be 1.05×10−13 cm2 eV from these data and from accurately channeled (by Rutherford backscattering) As ion ranges measured in Si from 10 to 800 keV. While the axial‐channeled distribution is skewed toward the surface, the planar‐channeled distribution does not appear to be skewed.

Show Abstract
The roles of grain‐boundary and bulk diffusion in thin‐film couples of Ag‐Au have been elucidated by comparing interdiffusion profiles in single‐crystal and polycrystalline couples. The use of self‐supporting couples, and Rutherford backscattering for depth analysis, greatly simplify interpretation of the data. Room‐temperature grain‐boundary diffusion is observed in polycrystalline couples with a diffusion coefficient ∼1014 cm2 sec−1. On annealing these polycrystalline films, at temperatures ⩽400 °C, an initial fast interdiffusion is observed followed by a slower process; models for this behavior are presented.

Show Abstract
Small polaron formation in LiNbO3 is shown to cause thermally activated electron capture on deep impurities. The activation energy for carrier trapping is calculated by using a simple model, which takes into account ionic relaxation for both the impurity and the lattice. The calculation predicts an activation energy for thermal decay of an excess Fe2+ population which agrees with experiment.

16‐μ and 8.5‐μ tunable lasing outputs were obtained from two sequential stimulated Raman scattering processes in K vapor using two visible dye lasers concurrently. Greater than 10 mW of 16‐μ output was obtained for a 1‐kW pump power. Tuning range of 2–4 cm−1 was observed. Kinetic information on the quenching of the 4P levels of K was deduced from the 16‐μ signal amplitudes as a function of the delay time between the two lasers.

Show Abstract
We describe mechanisms operating in the plasma spatial filter. Curvature of the critical density surface of the blow‐off plasma causes high and intermediate spatial frequencies on the incoming laser beam to be rejected. In addition, time‐dependent plasma motions result in the masking of high spatial frequency information on a time‐integrated near‐field photograph of the beam. Effects on the spectrum of the reflected laser light are evaluated.

Show Abstract
Band emission at 235.5 nm is observed in fast discharge in a Xe/Cl2 mixture at low pressure. This emission has the same spectral width as that of the excimer 2Σ+1/22Σ+1/2 transition at 307 nm. It is suggested that this band is also due to bound‐free transitions, but belongs to the spin‐orbit split level 2Π state of the ionic XeCl molecule that correlates with Xe+(2P1/2) and Cl(1S). The molecular energy gap between 2Σ+1/2 and 2Π1/2 is almost equal to the atomic spin‐orbit splitting and their potential curves are very similar. This bound‐free 2Π1/22Σ+1/2 emission may be an excimer laser candidate.

Using frequency offset‐locked spectroscopy of methane at 3.39 μm we show that the saturated absorption peaks can be significantly blue or red shifted if the wave fronts of the laser beam are spherical in the gas cell. Good agreement with theoretical prediction is found. We discuss suitable conditions to avoid this geometry‐induced shift in optical frequency standards.

We report the observation of electrically controlled modulation in a single‐mode channel waveguide branch fabricated on Ti‐diffused LiNbO3. Over 55% intensity modulation has been observed for applied voltages of ±30 V with an active length of 2.9 mm. Experimental factors limiting device performance are discussed. A theoretical description of the device, based on power transfer between local normal modes, is presented and shown to be consistent with experimental results when sideways diffusion in the channels is approximately accounted for.

Show Abstract
cw ultraviolet laser output of up to 16 W from the 3511‐ and 3638‐Å lines of Ar III, 6.7 W from the 3507‐ and 3564‐Å lines of Kr III, and 1.8 W from the 3746‐ and 3781‐Å lines of Xe III have been observed in purely wall‐confined noble gas discharges. The current density dependence of laser output from these doubly‐ionized species is found to be extremely strong but consistent with our theoretical predictions. The maximum observed output of 16 W from Ar III so far, however, is only limited by rapid optical degradation of the uv cavity mirrors.

Show Abstract
We analyze a focusing interaction between a parabolic voltage pulse traveling in a transmission line filled with nonlinear dielectric and a laser pulse which crosses the guide at right angles. In this interaction the voltage pulse, which is about 1 nsec in duration, creates an effective cylindrical lens that moves across the optical wave front with a velocity greater than 109 cm/sec. The light is imaged by this disturbance to a focal spot which translates at the same velocity, producing the effect of a streak camera without the necessity of a photocathode and electron deflection. By placing a spatial filter, rather than a detector array, in the focal plane, subnanosecond shaping or gating of the input pulse can be achieved very simply.

Show Abstract
We have generated 100–200‐ps iodine 1.315‐μ laser pulses by means of the free induction decay (FID) technique. A 2.5‐ns switched‐out pulse from a mode‐locked oscillator is truncated by generating its own gas breakdown in the focal spot between two lenses and then passed through a hot I2 absorber operated in the small‐signal regime to generate a short FID pulse. Streak camera studies of such pulses showed that the breakdown time was about 40 ps and the FID pulses had a full width at half‐maximum of about 100–200 ps. Subsequent amplification of a pulse showed that the 4‐GHz bandwidth of the atmospheric pressure iodine amplifier was insufficient to cover the pulse spectrum. A calculation of the pulse width based on the reduction of the small‐signal gain due to such spectral considerations also gave pulse widths in the 100–200‐ps range.
