The vicarious reflectance campaigns held on July and September 2000 were a joint effort between SRTC and the Remote Sensing Group (RSG) of the University of Arizona. The campaign conducted on May 2001 at Ivanpah Playa and Roach Lake was a joint effort between SRTC and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). An additional campaign was conducted on March 2002. The results presented here are a summary of our reflectance and thermal campaigns and interpretation of the satellite imagery. Particular attention was given to the in-depth September 2000 campaign. Analysis of the September 2000 MTI imagery shows close agreement between the ground truth data measured at Ivanpah Playa by SRTC and RSG and the reflectance measured by the MTI satellite.

G.; Oct 2001; 5 pp.; In English Report No.(s): AD-A410709; No Copyright; Avail: CASI; A01, Hardcopy A data acquisition system is realized to image electrical conductivity of biological tissues via contactless measurements. This system uses magnetic excitation to induce currents inside the body and measures the magnetic fields of the induced currents. A magnetically coupled differential coil system is scanned on the conductive object by a computer controlled scanning system. A data acquisition system is constructed using a PC controlled lock-in amplifier. 1.64V secondary voltage difference can be measured for 0.6 S/m solution. The average data acquisition time is 4.67 sec/mm2. 8 mm diameter objects with conductivity 0.2 S/m can be detected with this system.

If several large COD detectors can be adapted in the focal plane of a large Schmidt telescope, deeper digital images can be obtained, the operating cost of a COD camera is several orders of magnitudes smaller than that of glass photographic plates. This also opens new ways of using Schmidt telescopes; i.e., real time detection of celestial sources.

Our group has been developing x-ray microcalorimeters consisting of neutron transmutation doped (NTD) germanium thermistors attached to superconducting tin absorbers. We discuss the performance of single pixel x-ray detectors, and describe an array technology. In this paper we describe the read-out circuit that allows us to measure fast signals in our detectors as this will be important in understanding the primary cause of resolution broadening. We describe briefly a multiplexing scheme that allows a number of different calorimeters to be read out using a single JFET. We list the possible causes of broadening and give a description of the experiment which best demonstrates the cause of the primary broadening source. We mention our strategy for finding a suitable solution to this problem and describe briefly a technology for building arrays of these calorimeters.

C.; Goosman, D. R.; Wade, J. T.; Avara, R.; Nov. 08, 2002; 12 pp.; In English Report No.(s): DE2002-15002271; UCRL-JC-147892; No Copyright; Avail: Department of Energy Information Bridge We have developed a compact fieldable optically-deflected streak camera first reported in the 20th HSPP Congress. Using a triggerable galvanometer that scans the optical signal, the imaging and streaking function is an all-optical process without incurring any photon-electron-photon conversion or photoelectronic deflection. As such, the achievable imaging quality is limited mainly only by optical design, rather than by multiple conversions of signal carrier and high voltage electron-optics effect. All core elements of the camera are packaged into a 12x24 footprint box, a size similar to that of a conventional electronic streak camera. At LLNL’s (Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) Site-300 Test Site, we have conducted a Fabry-Perot interferometer measurement of fast object velocity using this all-optical camera side-by-side with an intensified electronic streak camera. These two cameras are configured as two independent instruments for recording synchronously each branch of the 50/50 splits from one incoming signal.

S.; Hudyma, R.; Spiller, E.; Aug. 20, 2002; In English Report No.(s): DE2002-15002104; No Copyright; Avail: National Technical Information Service (NTIS) In this mode the microscope is designed to emulate the illumination and imaging characteristics of a stepper to enable rapid evaluation of mask defects without the need for a resist exposure step. The main uses of the microscope in this mode would be: review of multilayer and pattern defects to determine their printability; defect review following a repair process to assess the success of the operation; investigation of the effects of illumination and NA on the printed image; process window analysis of defects and other mask features, and characterizing defects on both patterned and unpatterned masks (i.e. blanks). An essential characteristic of operation in this mode is that the illumination and imaging conditions should emulate that of a production stepper system.
