A processing system was designed and implemented to support beacon acquisition, precision beam pointing, and command/control functions for the optical Communications Demonstrator. The central processor operates as a command controlled embedded system, but by blending real-time and linear design techniques, a single digital signal processor handles all spaceborne functions. Real-time functions include operation of a CCD array detector, calculation of centroids, computation of point-ahead error, and execution of a steering mirror servo loop at 2 kHz update rate. Linear functions include command interpretation, diagnostic control of all functions, storage and interpolation of data for acquisition and point-ahead calculation, downlinking of status information, hardware control, transmit laser control, and image capture.

Philips Imaging technology has succeeded in fabricating an image sensor especially suited for digital image processing. The FT12 sensor is of the frame transfer type and designed for 2/3' optical format. It has a high resolution (1024 X 1024 in interlaced mode), overexposure handling by means of vertical anti-blooming and square pixels of 7.5 micrometers by 7.5 micrometers . The data rate is 60 fields per second in interlaced mode. Its single output register can run up to 40 MHz. The register can be clocked bi-directionally, which makes it possible to produce a mirrored image. These properties make it perfectly suited for machine vision applications, like pattern recognition and real-time process monitoring. The paper describes the sensor, simulation results, measurements, as well as the implementation of the sensor in a camera module.

The recent publication of the DICOM 3.0 standard for transferring images and other medical information between computers promises greatly enhanced communication and interoperability for medical applications. As part of a prototype implementation of the DICOM 3.0 standard we have also considered the problem of converting DICOM Information Objects into other standard image formats. This paper concentrates on the issues involved in converting DICOM image formats into IPI (Image Processing and Interchange) formats. The issue of conformance is restricted to consideration of information attributes which can be adequately represented in IPI formats and the tradeoffs involved when using different encoding schemes.

A smart structural health monitoring system (SHMS) requires various sensing technologies to detect and locate flaws, and assess their criticality to the structural integrity of the aircraft. To realize its full potential, a SHMS must be capable of remotely sensing flaw growth and location. Acoustic emission (AE) is one of the few sensing technologies that is capable of direct and remote sensing of flaw growth. Currently, there are two AE sensing techniques used for monitoring, detecting and locating flaw growth in structural components. In one technique, specific AE event parameters are captured by narrowband transducers and are studied to identify their source and location. The other technique studies the whole AE waves captured by wideband transducers and then detects and locates flaw growth based on waveform analysis and the wave propagation characteristics of the structure being monitored. This paper investigates both AE techniques, establishes their limitations, and defines the goals that need to be achieved in AE technology before it can successfully be implemented into a SHMS.

This paper describes a parallel by wavelength, packet-switched, extended photonic backplane for multiprocessors. Packet-switching is implemented with minimal optoelectronic conversion at switching nodes, with the payload data maintained in optical format. Since, currently it is not possible to provide efficient asynchronous storage in optics, the deflection routing protocol is used to avoid static buffering at nodes. Space-time switching at nodes is utilized to reduce contention for spatial channels. The ShuffleNet topology yields packet flight times that grow logarithmically with size of the system. With current technology, our approach can support up to 100 bits in parallel at network cycle times of the order of 4ns. The architecture is capable of supporting hundreds to thousands of processors separated by distances up to a few hundred meters.< >

The use of fibre-loop memories is being experimented for solving routing contention of data cells in photonic high bit rate ATM switching fabrics.1 The simplest fiber-loop memory looks like a ring laser consisting of a semiconductor laser amplifier (SOA), a span of fibre introducing a delay of the order of an ATM cell duration (10–6-sec) and a 50/50 directional coupler (Fig. 1). To compensate for the power tapping at the directional coupler while avoiding the onset of laser oscillations, the SOA is biased above the ring laser threshold only for a limited number of round trips, then the bias current is switched off. The memory is thus driven through the transition from a state ruled by spontaneous emission toward a state above lasing threshold, in which stimulated emission is predominant. Far enough from the beginning of the transition the intensity fluctuations display a maximum.2,3 The transition is completed after a time depending on the final state intensity.2 These features significantly affect the maximum storage time and noise behavior of the memory.

Summary form only given. Polyacetylene films were synthesized using homogeneous catalytic systems based on Ti(O-C/sub 4/H/sub 9/)/sub 4/, Al(C/sub 2/H/sub 5/)/sub 3/, poly(isobutylalumoxanes) (MM=470,900) and poly(ethylalumoxane) (MM=560). The physic-chemical characteristics of these films were studied with IR spectrometry, 2-mm ESR, cyclic voltammetry and conductometry. Polyacetylene synthesized using Ti(O-C/sub 4/H/sub 9/)/sub 4/-poly(isobutylalumoxane) (MM=900) catalyst has a higher density, a lower rate of oxidation and ageing as well more stable electric properties after six months of storage in argon at 0/spl deg/C. Thus, it can be concluded from the data obtained that an isobutyl substituent in polyalkylalumoxanees is more preferable that the ethyl one and increase of molecular mass of poly(isobutylatumoxanes) leads, both to the higher mechanical strength and conductivity of polyacetylene films.

Photodarkening in the chalcogenide glass As/sub 2/S/sub 3/ makes it attractive for applications in integrated optics and datastorage. Various optical devices can be fabricated using the laser-induced change of refractive index in this material. Waveguides, directional couplers, and holographic gratings have been fabricated on thin films and bulk samples of As/sub 2/S/sub 3/. This paper reports studies of the dynamics of waveguide and grating formation on the surface of bulk As/sub 2/S/sub 3/. Spatial and temporal characteristics of laser-induced refractive index changes are described. Several different materials effects are shown to contribute to the index modulation.
