In an era of fiscal austerity, downsizing and unforgiving pressure upon human and economic capital, it is an Augean task to identify resources for fresh and creative work. The realities of the day and the practical demands of more immediate fleet needs can often dictate higher priorities. Yet, the Navy must avoid eating its seed corn. Exercising both technical insight and management foresight, the fleet, the R&D community, the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations (OpNav) and the product engineering expertise of the Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) are joined and underway with integrated efforts to marry new, fully demonstrated technologies and operational urgencies. Defense funding today cannot sponsor all work that can be mission-justified over the long term because budgets are insufficient to support product maturation within the classical development cycle. However, by rigorous technical filtering and astute engineering of both marketplace capabilities and currently available components, it is possible in a few select cases to compress and, in effect, integrate advanced development (6.3), engineering development (6.4), weapon procurement (WPN), ship construction (SCN), operation and maintenance (O&M,N) budgetary categories when fleet criticalities and technology opportunities can happily meet. In short, 6.3 funds can be applied directly to ''ripe gateways'' so modern technology is inserted into existing troubled or aging systems, sidestepping the lengthy, traditional development cycle and accelerating practical payoffs to recurrent fleet problems. To produce such constructive results has required a remarkable convergence of sponsor prescience and engineering workforce excellence. The paper describes, extensively, the philosophy of approach, transition strategy, polling of fleet needs, technology assessment, and management team requirements. The process for culling and selecting specific candidate tasks for SHARP sponsorship (matching operational need with t

Using the finite-difference time-domain method, three-dimensional scattering patterns are computed for cells containing multiple organelles. The scattering cross section and average cosine of the scattering angle are computed for cells as a function of volume fraction of melanin granules and mitochondria, Results show that small organelles play a significant role in light scattering from cells, and the volume fraction of organelles affects both the total amount of scattered light and the angular distribution of scattered light.

The progress in understanding wafer-fused vertical-cavity lasers and improvements in fabrication techniques have led to the realization of the first room-temperature continuous-wave operating 1.54-/spl mu/m vertical-cavity lasers. By demonstrating continuous-wave operation at room temperature using vertical-cavity lasers fabricated by two wafer fusion steps, we have shown that wafer fusion is a viable technique. The lasers comprise strain compensated InGaAsP quantum-well active layers sandwiched between two AlGaAs/GaAs quarter-wave mirrors. Characteristics discussed include cavity losses, the gain-current density relationship, and voltage-current characteristics.

To evaluate nonreciprocal mode conversion characteristics in a magnetooptic channel waveguide, a finite element analysis based on the scalar wave approximation is formulated for the first time. A simple iterative calculation method is conceived for solution of the nonlinear eigenvalue equations finally obtained in which the two polarizations are coupled. Specifically, the maximum isolation ratio in the mode-conversion-type magnetooptic rib guide was evaluated and the validity of the method is confirmed by comparison with published experimental results.

Six computer assisted instruction modules are available on the Internet that provide tutorials and demonstrations for nonlinear circuit analysis and design. These modules introduce the student in a sequence to the concept of a nonlinear two terminal device (one port) and its analysis and of a nonlinear three terminal device (two port) and its analysis. In addition, through interactive, graphics driven animation, the user can be provided with experience in the design of circuits with these nonlinear devices. The specific devices presented to illustrate these concepts are the pn diode and the bipolar junction transistor; there are three modules available for each. These modules are available on the Internet, either by anonymous FTP or through the auspices of NEEDS, the National engineering Education Delivery System, being developed by the NSF SYNTHESIS engineering Education Coalition.
