    Abstract: A method for detecting both gamma-ray events and neutron events with a common detector, where the detector includes a layer of semiconductor material adjacent one side of a glass plate and a Gd layer on an opposite side of the glass plate, between the glass plate and a layer of silicon PIN material to form an assembly that is bounded by electrodes, including a semiconductor anode on one side of the semiconductor layer, a cathode connected to the glass plate, and a Si PIN anode on a side of the Si PIN layer opposite the semiconductor anode. The method includes the steps of: (1) monitoring the electrical signal at each of the semiconductor anode and the Si PIN anode, and (2) comparing signals from the semiconductor anode and the SI PIN anode to differentiate between gamma-ray events and neutron events based on predetermined criteria.

    Abstract: A radiation detector having a pair of adjacent mesas disposed on a common layer. The common layer comprises a first semiconductor layer having a first conductivity type and an energy bandgap responsive to radiation in a first spectral region. Each of the mesas comprises: a second semiconductor; and a third semiconductor layer disposed on the second semiconductor layer having the first conductivity type and an energy bandgap responsive to radiation in a second spectral region. The second semiconductor layer may have a conductivity type opposite the first conductivity type or the three layers may provide an nBn or pBp structure. The third semiconductor layer of the second mesa produces minority carriers, in response to the radiation in the second spectral region, flowing as unwanted carriers into the common layer towards the first mesa. A barrier region is disposed in the common layer to prevent the unwanted carriers from passing from the second mesa to the first mesa.

    Abstract: A method is provided for operating one or more one solid-state electro-optic device to provide an electrically switching shutter. The method includes forming an alternating stack of first semiconductor layers having a first dopant and second semiconductor layers having a second dopant to form at least one superlattice semiconductor device. The method further includes applying to the at least one superlattice semiconductor device a first voltage to induce a transparent state of the alternating stack such that light is transmitted through the alternating stack, and applying to the at least one superlattice semiconductor device a second voltage different from the first voltage to induce an opaque state of the alternating stack such that light is inhibited from passing through the alternating stack.

    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to passive ranging of objects by using relative positional relation of the object to a coded aperture ranged object. A first range to a first object is determined via a coded-aperture ranging system based on a point spread function optimization of an image of the first object. The terrain surface between the first object and a second object is mapped via a 3D polarimetry system. A second range to the second object is then calculated via a range calculator based on the first range and the terrain surface between the first object and the second object.
