Detector Amplifier Hybrids Te Cooled Detector Amplifier Hybrids Dia
425 wordsCooling In many cases IR detectors are cooled during use. This cooling effects the spectral response, responsibilty and response speed. Spectral response characteristics of PbS, Pb Se, and HgCdTe (MCT) shift to the long wavelength side with cooling while Ge, In As and In Sb shift to the short wavelength side. Also, note that the response speeds of PbS and Pb Se become slower with cooling. Methods of cooling include thermoelectric cooling and dewar cooling using dry ice, liquid nitrogen, etc. The...

Crystals Of Germanium Matter In The Universe Dark
998 wordsThere is perhaps no current problem of greater importance to astrophysics and cosmology than that of "dark matter." The controversy, as the name implies, is centered on the notion that there may exist an enormous amount of matter in the Universe that cannot be detected from the light that it emits. The evidence of dark matter is from the motions of astronomical objects, specifically stellar, galactic, and galaxy cluster / super cluster observations. The basic argument is that if we measure veloc...

Neutrino Energy Spectrum Neutrinos Have Mass Produced
856 wordsOne of the current questions in physics is whether or not neutrinos have mass and what this mass is. Neutrinos are subatomic particles that have no electrical charge and interact only via the weak nuclear force. They are products of radioactive decay processes, and thus are produced abundantly in our Sun, our atmosphere, and in other astrophysical sources such as supernovae and active galactic nuclei. Millions and millions of them are crossing through the Earth every second, but only very few of...

Invention Of Radio Guglielmo Marconi Wireless
908 wordsIn the early days, about a century ago, there was few ways of mass communication. The only real source of mass communication was print. Every town or city had a local newspaper where all the information was released to everyone. But then there was a new invention, radio. Radio was an extremely influential part of everyday life, and still is in the 21 st century. Most people credit the invention of radio to a man named Guglielmo Marconi. Although there were many people that contributed to the inv...

497 wordsHow a CD works Compact disc (CD) players have increasingly replaced the phonograph and the cassette tape. They offer a clear, crisp sound, faint background noise, and have the additional advantage of longer life. In addition to their audio content, some compact discs contain digital graphics that can be displayed on a television screen. To understand how a CD works one must understand what a CD consists of. A CD is about 1. 2 millimeters thick. Most of the CD consists of an injection-molded piec...

Quantum Mechanics Technological Progress
4,210 wordsWhat is quantum computing? Quantum Computing is something that could have been thought up a long time ago an idea whose time has come. For any physical theory one can ask: what sort of machines will do useful computation? or, what sort of processes will count as useful computational acts? Alan Turing thought about this in 1936 with regard (implicitly) to classical mechanics, and gave the world the paradigm classical computer: the Turing machine. But even in 1936 classical mechanics was known to ...
