Breadboard model is tuned to produce output pulses from one microsecond up to several seconds in width with up to 95 percent duty cycle, and with lower power consumption than previously existing circuits.
Anodic bonding of glass coverslips to photodiodes and photovoltaic devices eliminates the need for adhesive. The process requires relatively low temperatures /less than 560 degrees C/ and the metals and glass remain solid throughout the bonding process.

Film grown in inert carriers (A, He, or N) displays low impurity, high mobility, and improved crystal structure. Annealing steps used in growing process improves film quality and allows utilization of film for Gunn and LSA devices.
Nuclear radiation detectors with volumes of approximately 1 cu cm was fabricated from single crystals of germanium-silicon alloy containing as much as 20 weight percent germanium. The properties of these detectors were investigated and will be discussed. Tests reveal that the gamma ray photoelectric peak efficiency of an alloy detector with only 12 weight percent germanium is approximately 4 times that of a silicon detector of equal volume. The room temperature roomure appears to be a good possibility. Storage for long periods at room temperature does not seem to adversely affect these devices. The results of preliminary radiation damage experiments suggest that the alloy detectors possess a radiation damage resistance far greater than that of silicon.
The growth of a carrier wave propagating through a negative differential mobility semiconducting sample is discussed under nonuniform dc bias conditions. A simple analytical expression for the overall numerical gain is given in terms of current density and of the input and output carrier wave velocities only. Applications to n-type GaAs are discussed.
Cavity perturbation techniques offer a very sensitive and highly versatile means for studying the complex microwave conductivity of a bulk material. A knowledge of the cavity coupling factor in the absence of perturbation, together with the change in the reflected power and the cavity resonance frequency shift, are adequate for the determination of the material properties. This eliminates the need to determine the Q-factor change with perturbation which may lead to appreciable error, especially in the presence of mismatch loss. The measurement accuracy can also be improved by a proper choice of the cavity coupling factor prior to the perturbation.
