    Abstract: Tunable VCSELs (TVCSELs) employing expanded material systems with expanded mechanical/optical design space for semiconductor DBR mirrors on GaAs substrates. One is the InGaAs/AlGaAsP material system. It adds indium In to decrease InGaAs H-layer bandgap for higher refractive index and higher DBR layer refractive index contrast. Adding phosphorus P gives independent control of bandgap and strain of AlGaAsP low refractive index L-layers. The tensile strain of AlGaAsP L-layer compensates compressive strain of InGaAs H-layer and lowers the cumulative strain of the multilayer DBR structure. Another option is the InGaAsN(Sb)/AlGaAsP material system, where both types of layers can be lattice matched to GaAs. It uses indium In and nitrogen N, and possibly antimony Sb, to get independent control of strain and bandgap, and thus refractive index, of dilute nitride InGaAsN(Sb) H-layers, with lower bandgap and higher refractive index than starting GaAs. Using expanded material system enables reliable DBR mirrors with higher reflectivity and spectral bandwidth and tunable VCSELs with wider tuning range.

    Abstract: An initiator including a housing adapted to be received in an igniter or rocket motor, at least one charge at a distal end of the housing, an electro-explosive device behind the charge for detonating the charge when subject to a voltage HV, and a pressure bulkhead behind the electro-explosive device. An electronic subsystem in the housing is connected to the electro-explosive device through the bulkhead and includes a lead for providing the voltage HV to the electro-explosive device to initiate it, and a switch in the lead which does not conduct if errant voltages are present on the lead to prevent initiation of the electro-explosive device until the correct voltage HV is present.

    Abstract: A laser sustained plasma lamp includes a mechanically sealed pressurized chamber assembly (330) configured to contain an ionizable material. The chamber assembly is bounded by a chamber tube (310), an ingress sapphire window (340), a first metal seal ring (320) configured to seal against the chamber tube ingress end and the ingress sapphire window, an egress sapphire window (342), and a second metal seal ring (322) configured to seal against the chamber tube egress end and the egress sapphire window. A mechanical clamping structure (350, 355) external to the chamber assembly is configured to clamp across at least a portion of the ingress sapphire window and the egress sapphire window. The ingress sapphire window and the egress sapphire window are not connected to the chamber tube via welding and/or brazing.

    Abstract: A power supply system includes multiple power converters, each having an input and an output. The outputs of the power converters are connected together in parallel to produce a single system output. There is a shared command bus that is coupled to each one of the power converters. A control loop in (associated with) a designated one of the power converters is operable to generate a current command signal to be output onto the shared command bus. All of the parallel connected power converters in the power supply system are configured to receive the current command signal from the shared command bus and to adjust an amount of electrical current being supplied by that power converter in response to the current command signal.

    Abstract: An ignition facilitated electrodeless sealed high intensity illumination device is configured to receive a laser beam from a continuous wave (CW) laser light source. A sealed chamber is configured to contain an ionizable medium. The chamber has an ingress window disposed within a wall of a chamber interior surface configured to admit the laser beam into the chamber, a plasma sustaining region, and a high intensity light egress window configured to emit high intensity light from the chamber. The CW laser beam is producible by a CW laser below 250 Watts configured to produce a wavelength below 1100 nm. The device is configured to focus the laser beam to a full width at half maximum (FWHM) beam waist of 1-15 microns2 and a Rayleigh length of 6 microns or less, and the plasma is configured to be ignited by the CW laser beam.

    Abstract: An integrated barrel/bridge detonator subassembly includes a polyimide flyer layer, a conducting layer, and a barrel layer. The conducting layer has an electrically conducting material laminated to a first side of the flyer layer. The conducting layer consists of a single layer of an electrically conducting material. The electrically conducting material forms a first land having a first connecting pad, a second land having a second connecting pad disposed opposite the first land, and a bridge disposed between and providing electrical conductivity between the first land and the second land. A barrel layer formed of an insulative material is laminated to a second side of the flyer layer substantially opposite the first side. The barrel layer has an opening disposed substantially opposite the bridge.
