  • Patent number: 4439016
    Abstract: The invention comprises a system for deflecting an optical beam in response to an electrical signal. A collimated optical beam is generated utilizing any convenient means. The collimated light beam is injected into an optical wave guide positioned between two electrodes. One electrode is substantially coextensive with the surface of the waveguide. The second electrode comprises a series of spaced stripes parallel to the optical beam and having varying length across the surface of the electro-optically sensitive material. The electro-optically sensitive material is subjected to a varying electrical field by applying an electrical voltage to the electrodes causing the velocity of propagation of the light through the electro-optically sensitive material to vary across the layer. This changes the phase relationship of the optical beam across its diameter as it emerges from the edge of the electro-optically sensitive material. This results in a deflection of the electro-optical beam.

  • Patent number: 4219775
    Abstract: A method and means of generating an electron spin echo signal having a relatively higher output frequency than the input frequency of the applied 90.degree. and 180.degree. RF pulses applied to an electron spin echo sample located in a static magnetic field by increasing the magnitude of the Zeeman magnetic field by a predetermined amount after the application of the 90.degree. and 180.degree. pulses. Also the spin echo sample is situated in a microwave cavity which has two resonant frequency modes, the first of which has a relatively high Q while the second has a relatively low Q. The 90.degree. and 180.degree. RF pulses are applied to the system at the first resonant frequency having the high Q while the spin echo signal is coupled out of the system at the second resonant frequency having the low Q.

  • Patent number: 4017855
    Abstract: A system for determining the use of an ECM jammer against a bi-frequency radar utilizing a spin echo matched filter. Portions of two simultaneously transmitted radar RF pulses of different instantaneous carrier frequencies are coupled to a non-linear element which produces a composite pulse signal containing predetermined intermodulation product frequencies. This composite pulse signal is utilized as the input pulse to a spin echo system which has a locally generated postset pulse applied a predetermined time thereafter. The radar return signals are coupled to the spin echo system which produces a spin echo correlation signal upon the reception of an ECM radar return pulse which inherently contains substantially the same predetermined intermodulation product frequencies.
