RESEARCH
Although the general effort has been to do fundamental research in the various different disciplines of electrooptics so as to complement and enrich teaching of such subjects, specialization has centered in three unrelated areas. One is interactions of electromagnetic radiation with gas discharge plasmas. This is basic to many areas of research including gas lasers, microwave detectors and photodetectors, plasma electronics and diagnostics, laser breakdown of gases, spectroscopy and photochemistry applications such as laser isotope separation (opto-galvanic effect) and chemical photodissociation.
Another recent area of specialization has been the effect of atmospheric scattering on imaging through the atmosphere. Effects of desert dust in particular are emphasized with regard to the wavelength dependence of imaging and communicating through the atmosphere. A new area of particular interest involves prediction of image quality propagated through the atmosphere as a function of weather forecast. The approach is that of characterizing the atmosphere with a transfer function which includes all atmospheric optic effects, and to implement it in image restoration. The atmosphere is a very complex medium involving turbulence, scatter by aerosols, absorption, etc. and only a broad system-engineering approach can succeed in the real world. This is what we do.
A third area of specialization has been effects of surface phenomena on optoelectronic devices. Methods of significantly wavelength tuning LEDs controllably and reversible by external means, as well as improving photodiode quantum efficiency significantly, have been obtained. These efforts have contributed to the development of a new research field – optoelectronic devices in adverse and hostile environments which has been the subject of several conferences in recent years.
A fourth area is that of system engineering concepts with which to characterize image blur resulting from mechanical vibrations and to restore image quality.
A fifth area is optical satellite communication. Adaptive communication techniques to overcome dispersion limitations imposed by the atmosphere as well as effects of satellite vibrations on bit error rate, have been developed.
A sixth area is development of real time electronic techniques for restoration of line tv images at live tv frame rates.
Primary areas of research have been :
I Development of a general, unified theory of interaction of electromagnetic waves with plasma,
encompassing both long and short wavelengths and including spectral response and non-
linearities. Application to novel ultraviolet radiation detectors seems most promising.
II Application of this experimental and theoretical model to model high intensity laser breakdown of
gases using low intensity light at wavelengths where high intensity lasers do not as yet exist.
III.Basic experimental and theoretical work on the opto-galvanic effect used to wavelength lock
lasers in isotope
separation. This work was accomplished
and published even before the effect
was given its present name and application.
IV.Basic work on high sensitivity detection of microwaves and millimeter waves using inexpensive
glow discharges as both direct detectors, and Mixers. This is presently being applied elsewhere in
millimeter wave detection and in microwave spectroscopy.
V. Fundamental work on the electronic impedance and time response properties of plasmas . This is
particularly significant to application of the opto-galvanic effect using pulsed lasers because slow
discharge response time reduces signal-to-noise ratio. Appliation to near-millimeter waves seems
desirable and worthwhile.
VI.Basic work in atmospheric optics communication and imaging, including effects of background
radiation, turbulence, heterodyne detection, and optimization of image resolution permitted by the
atmosphere through selection of spectral regions. The effects of scattering of EM waves by dust
aerosols and water droplets (in determining wavelength of optimum resolution and/or effective
heterodyne detection area) are of particular interest, as are effects of weather on image quality.
Models have been developed with which to predict image quality through the atmosphere as
functions of weather for visible, near infrared and thermal imaging wavelengths.
VII.Development of inexpensive devices and techniques for high sensitivity sensing of near infrared
and visible and near ultraviolet radiation including both gas tubes and solid state devices.
VIII.Development of techniques for wide-ranging spectral tuning of commercial GaAs LEDs . This
should be particularly useful to minimize material dispersion and thus increase bandwidths in
optical fiber communication. In addition, methods to increase significantly photodiode quantum
efficiency have been obtained.
IX Basic research in photopreionization processes to increase the optical power of high-intensity
TEA lasers.
X. Electrooptics applications in agriculture in cooperation with local kibbutzim including re-design
of an inspection system to separate undesirable produce particles from those to be marketed and
a weed detection system designed to disperse herbicide automatically only on weeds rather than
waste it on soil (with Prof. Ben-Yaakov and Kibbutz Nir-Oz, unpublished).
XI. Development of a curriculum in electrooptics at
XII.Basic research on optical and modulation transfer functions with which to characterize image
quality degradation resulting from image motion and vibration.
XIII.Implementation of transfer function work to restore images blurred by atmosphere and/or image
motion and vibration.
XIV.Development of adaptive communication techniques to overcome dispersion limitations
imposed by the atmosphere and satellite vibrations, especially with regard to satellite optical
communication.
XV. Development of techniques to restore images blurred by the atmosphere and/or image
vibration and motion.
XVI. Development of real time techniques for electronic restoration of live two dimensional tv
images at live tv frame rates.
