This paper presents a low-voltage low-power IF 455 kHz signal processor that contains a three-stage limiting amplifier and an FM/FSK demodulator. The limiting amplifier uses an on-chip feedforward offset cancellation circuit. The FM/FSK demodulator employs a quadrature detector that is composed of an on-chip phase detector and an external tank phase shifter. The demodulation constant is 20 mV/kHz with maximum /spl plusmn/10 kHz frequency deviation. The IF signal processor that consumes 2.3 mW from a single 2-V power supply demonstrates a high sensitivity of -72 dBm. It occupies an active area of 0.2 mm/sup 2/ using 0.6 /spl mu/m digital CMOS technology.

Central to the photonic revolution is the development of miniature light sources such as the vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL). VCSEL manufacturing has been established to provide inexpensive optical sources for data communication applications. Recent progress in materials and fabrication technologies has enabled a new generation of high performance VCSELs. We report recent device advances, including short (650 nm) and long (1300 nm) wavelength VCSELs, structures producing high single mode output, and hybrid integrated 2-dimensional transmitter arrays for spatial multiplexed optical interconnects.

We propose a wireless optical communication system with white colored LEDs for a wireless home link (WHL). The white colored LEDs have a high power output and are regarded as lamps for the next generation. In the proposed system, this device is used for a wireless home link.

We review our recent results from studies of electronic properties of GaNAs/GaAs structures with low nitrogen content, by photoluminescence (PL), PL excitation, time-resolved PL spectroscopies as well as optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) and cyclotron resonance (ODCR) studies. The issues to be addressed include key material-related properties and fundamental electronic parameters of the GaNAs alloy, relevant to device applications, such as identification of the dominant recombination processes in the alloy, compositional dependence of the electron effective mass and band alignment in the GaNAs/GaAs heterostructures.

Dextrous manipulation is a fundamental problem in the study of multifingered robotic hands. Given a robotic hand and an object to be manipulated by the hand in an environment filled with obstacles, the main objectives of dextrous manipulation are to have the hand grasp the object and transfer it from a start configuration to a goal configuration without collision. To fulfill such a task in general, we will need: (a) a manipulation planner to generate a feasible path for the hand; and (b) a controller to implement the planned path. In this overview paper, we define the manipulation planning problem and present a unified control system architecture for multifingered manipulation (CoSAM/sup 2/). By incorporating the various kinematic and static relationships of a multifingered robotic hand system with proper sensory data inputs at different stages, CoSAM/sup 2/ achieves the various objectives of dextrous manipulation. Theoretical background of the control system design along with real-time experimental results are described.

Summary form only given. For approximately ten years, MIT has supported an undergraduate project laboratory which teaches microfabrication process design. The project laboratory attempts to engage the students in projects which have a end goal of fabrication of a specific novel device, often with an end user that is supporting the laboratory portion of the course. In this paper, we will present the most recent results of teaching this course in the Spring '98 semester. The project this semester was to fabricate an array of micromechanical contactors which could be used in the high-speed testing of integrated circuits. We will describe the execution of the course in detail. A detailed description of the final device design and fabrication will be given with the measured results. We will summarize the lessons learned, particularly in relation to organizing a team of students on one project, and the nuances of working with an industrial sponsor in a course environment.

Accurate modeling of noise coupling effects due to crosstalk via the substrate is an increasingly important concern for the design and verification of mixed analog-digital systems. In this paper we present a technique to accelerate the model computation using BEM methods that can be used for accurate and efficient extraction of substrate coupling parameters in mixed-signal designs.

This paper demonstrates an OPTOBUS-based fully packaged optoelectronic cross-connect interconnect technique for data communication applications. Optical insertion loss of the compact 100/spl times/100 cross-connect interconnect device ranges from 0.4 to 2.9 dB among all possible connections. Optical transmissions with bit error rate (BER) of >10/sup -12/ can be maintained at per channel bandwidth of 900 Mb/s. The system is expected to have an aggregated interconnect bandwidth near 100 Gb/s when being fully connected with the OPTOBUS chips.
