ACE consists of a suite of instruments in which the primary element is an infrared Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) coupled with an auxiliary 2-channel visible (525 nm) and near infrared imager (1020 nm). A secondary instrument, MAESTRO, provides spectrographic data from the near ultra-violet to the near infra-red, including the visible spectral range. In combination the instrument payload covers the spectral range from 0.25 to 13.3 micron. A comprehensive set of simultaneous measurements of trace gases, thin clouds, aerosols and temperature will be made by solar occultation from a satellite in low earth orbit. The ACE mission will measure and analyze the chemical and dynamical processes that control the distribution of ozone in the upper troposphere and stratosphere. A high inclination (740), low earth orbit (650 km) allows coverage of tropical, mid-latitude and polar regions. This paper will describe the metrology scheme, based on an IR laser diode, as well as algorithms that are needed to fully calibrate, along the wavenumber axis, the spectra measured by the ACE instrument.","PeriodicalId":342015,"journal":{"name":"Applications of Photonic Technology","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127277248","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Time-resolved reflectivity experiments are used to gain insight into the ultrafast carrier dynamics and fundamental limitations of conventional photoconductive (PC) switches. Self-switching and frozen wave generation are introduced as effective sources of terahertz electrical transients, and the PC response of these techniques is seen to be independent of the charge carrier lifetime in the semiconductor substrate. The concept of PC switching is further extended to the launching of free-space terahertz radiation, and electro-optic sampling techniques using polycrystalline sensors are shown to be viable sensors for free-space terahertz radiation.","PeriodicalId":342015,"journal":{"name":"Applications of Photonic Technology","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134539229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

DETECT is a Monte-Carlo simulator developed for the Computer Aided Design (CAD) of optical photon sensing devices. The simulator generates individual emission photons in specified locations of a photon-emitting device and tracks their passage and interactions in active and passive components of the system. Extensive options are available in the simulator to model the geometry of the photon sensing device, to account for the time and wavelength distribution of emission photons, to track their interactions with surfaces, to account for their possible absorption and re-emission by a wave-shifting components and to model their detection by pixelated photomultipliers or photodiodes. DETECT2000 is a very significant upgrade of DETECT97, which has long been established in the nuclear medicine instrumentation community for its accuracy to model the performances of high resolution energy and position sensitive gamma-ray detectors. The 2000 version of DETECT offers an accelerated version of the simulator which has been redesigned in the object-oriented C++ language. New features such as the tracking of the time and wavelength history of individual optical photons have been added.","PeriodicalId":342015,"journal":{"name":"Applications of Photonic Technology","volume":"117 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124142751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
