Show Abstract
An infrared tunable acousto‐optic filter based on Tl3AsSe3 in a noncollinear configuration is described. The filter was operated at CO2 laser wavelengths from 10.8 to 9.3 μm, with corresponding rf drive frequencies in the 15–18‐MHz range. Filter bandwidths are of the order of 20–30 cm−1, and the measured tuning rate is 18.0 kHz/cm−1 at 10 μm.

Show Abstract
We have used for the first time the electron‐microscopy technique to reveal the pure ferroelastic phase domain structure of lead phosphate, Pb3(PO4)2. The domain configuration confirms previous identifications of the symmetry elements lost at the transition. The domains are found separated by thin walls whose thicknesses are less than 50 Å. This and other recent studies suggest narrower walls in ferroelectrics and in ferroelectric ferroelastics than were envisaged from earlier theoretical models. The very high values reported by different authors are believed to be due to the resolution limitations of the experimental setup used. Fruitful consequences are expected from a thorough understanding of the stresses and lattice distortions associated with the ferroelastic domain structure.

Show Abstract
We have obtained two consecutive ion pulses separated in time by 2.6 msec from a long‐pulse (1–2 μsec) reflex tetrode ion source. The source voltage is 100 kV and the ion current density is 0.7 A/cm2. Calorimetry indicates that the energy in two pulses is equal to 180% of that in the first pulse for delays of ≳2.6 msec. For shorter delays the energy in the second pulse is reduced due to premature shorting of the diode.

Show Abstract
Ionization of liquid gallium coated on a tungsten field‐ion tip was investigated using a magnetic‐sector atom probe. For the first time, both the energy distribution of ionized Ga and its critical energy deficit with respect to a tip potential were measured as a function of field and tip temperature. Without heating the gallium, a stable Ga+ ion current of up to 10 μA was obtained from a small surface area of a tip with an energy distribution of less than 12 eV FWHM.

Show Abstract
The lifetime of stressed silica fibers is normally limited by moisture‐enhanced stress corrosion cracking known as static fatigue. We have developed a metal‐jacketing technique that provides a hermetic protection of the glass fiber surface. Fibers protected in this fashion appear to be immune to normal static fatigue effects. Lifetimes of stressed silica fibers with hermetic jackets have been observed to be more than five orders of magnitude longer than those of conventional plastic‐coated fibers.

Show Abstract
A ’’shadow deposition’’ technique using only optical lithography and conventional thin‐film technology has been used to fabricate titanium lines with nominal widths of 0.15–0.30 μ on glass substrates. Each of these lines was produced by evaporating metal at an angle to a photoresist edge and utilizing the region ’’shadowed’’ from the evaporating atoms by the edge to form an in situ mask of submicron dimensions with highly correlated edges. Uniformly wide lines having tapered edges and widths less than 0.1 μ appear to be reliably attainable with this technique. It is expected that the method will be useful for making Josephson junctions and other devices employing titanium, niobium, or any other material that can be vapor deposited.

The effects of cold traps, active carbon, and molecular sieves on the lasing gas mixture has been tested in order to selectively remove contaminant reaction products which quence laser action. Best results have been obtained by using a 3‐Å molecular sieve directly inserted into the laser chamber. More than 180 000 shots have been obtained after 5 h of 10‐Hz laser operation with a single refill before the output power decayed to one‐half the initial value.

In addition, it has been shown that the optical response of the particulate black chrome films is significantly determined by the microstructure of the films.

Explanation for low‐efficiency Cu2O Schottky‐barrier solar cells

Show Abstract
Surface analyses combined with barrier‐height studies indicate that Cu2O Schottky barriers made with low‐work‐function metals (Yb, Mg, and Mn) are essentially Cu/Cu2O cells due to reduction of the Cu2O surface and subsequent interdiffusion phenomena. The copper‐rich region essentially determines the barrier height. As a result, efficiencies of Cu2O Schottky‐barrier solar cells are usually less than 1%. It is concluded that to achieve significant increases in Cu2O cell efficiencies, MIS or heterojunction device structures must be utilized.

Show Abstract
Ne/Xe/NF3 mixtures were irradiated by a cold‐cathode e‐beam, and the fluorescence yields of the B and C states of XeF were measured as a function of neon pressure from 200 to 5300 Torr. At low neon pressures, the fluorescence yield of the B state corresponds to one photon emitted for each neon ion formed. As the neon pressure is increased the fluorescence yield of the B state decreases, but the ratio of the C emission to B emission approaches unity. If the C is formed through a channel which is independent of the B state, then the ultimate efficiency of the XeF laser is severely limited. However, analysis of the data with a XeF kinetics model indicates that the enhanced C emission results from two‐body quenching of the B state by neon. We conclude that the XeF laser performance has been limited by other processes, namely, incomplete vibrational relaxation and ground‐state bottlenecking.

Show Abstract
Detailed time‐correlated gain, flourescence, and laser energy measurements were used to obtain quantitative data on energy extraction efficiencies for a photoionization‐stabilized self‐sustained XeF laser. A current pulse of 25 ns full width at half‐maximum produced an 80‐cm3 XeF plasma in NF3 : Xe : He gas mixtures with a maximum output energy of 80 mJ. The results show that the maximum small‐signal gain and the maximum specific output energy is proportional to the NF3 content of the gas mixture. This suggests that there is an optimum fractional utilization of the NF3 molecules in the discharge. Under high‐gain conditions, 30–40% of the energy stored in XeF∗ can be extracted in a gain‐switched pulse. The output energy represents less than 1% of the input energy.

Electric‐field‐tuning characteristics of second‐harmonic generation in a three‐dimensional Ti in‐diffused LiNbO3 optical waveguide are reported. It is experimentally revealed that the phase‐matching condition for second‐harmonic generation can be achieved with low voltage applied across electrodes. For the present optical waveguide, a 1 °C temperature change is equivalent to about 13 V in phase matching, which agrees well with the calculated value. Rapid tuning or switching of parametric interactions in the LiNbO3 waveguide is expected with a low applied voltage.

We have built self‐contained bistable optical devices using integrated Fabry‐Perot resonators formed by attaching dielectric mirrors to the cleaved ends of a LiNbO3 substrate containing a Ti in‐diffused waveguide modulator.
