    Description: Acceleration in development of additional conventional hydropower requires tools and methods to perform laboratory and in-field validation of turbine performance and fish passage claims. The new-generation Sensor Fish has been developed with more capabilities to accommodate a wider range of users over a broader range of turbine designs and operating environments. It provides in situ measurements of three-dimensional (3D) linear accelerations, 3D rotational velocities, 3D orientation, pressure, and temperature at a sampling frequency of 2048 Hz. It also has an automatic floatation system and built-in radio-frequency transmitter for recovery. The relative errors of the pressure, acceleration, and rotational velocity were within ±2%, ±5%, and ±5%, respectively. The accuracy of orientation was within ±4° and accuracy of temperature was ±2 °C. The new-generation Sensor Fish is becoming a major technology and being deployed for evaluating the conditions for fish passage of turbines or other hydraulic structures in both the United States and several other countries.

    Notes: We report the optical study of the interband transitions in InAsxP1−x/InP strained-layer multiple quantum wells grown by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy. Low-temperature photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation, and room temperature photomodulated transmission measurements were performed to investigate optical interband transitions. In addition to transitions associated with the heavy-hole and the light-hole bands, a transition involved with the spin-orbit split-off band was observed. We also observed spectral linewidth broadening due to compositional inhomogeneity and layer-thickness fluctuations from the sample using short-period superlattices as the well materials. Calculations based on the envelope-function approximation and phenomenological deformation potential theory, including both band nonparabolicity and strain-induced valence-band mixing, were compared with experimental data to identify the optical transitions between quantized states in the wells. We found good agreement between theory and experiment.

    Notes: We present a new experimental approach to the study of vibrational relaxation of highly vibrationally excited molecules at solid surfaces. We observe NO in v=13 and 15 losing up to five vibrational quanta in collisions with an O-covered copper surface. The data indicate this vibrational relaxation occurs via a direct scattering mechanism. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: We have determined the alignment of D2(v,J) desorbed from Cu(111). The measurements reveal a small preference for "helicoptering'' motion that increases with increasing J. At low J, the alignments are much smaller than predicted by recent calculations. We believe that the anisotropic potential may scramble the alignment as the molecules leave the surface. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: InAsP/InP strained multiple quantum wells (MQWs) were grown on InP (111)B and (100) substrates by gas-source molecular-beam epitaxy. Specular surfaces were obtained under optimized growth conditions on InP (111)B substrates miscut 1° to the 〈110〉 direction. Photoluminescence, absorption and photoluminescence excitation spectra were taken for InAsP/InP strained MQWs at low temperature. Distinct optical transitions were resolved. Energy-level calculations were carried out for both (111)B and (100) MQWs by taking into account the differences in elastic deformation, strain-induced band-edge shift, valence-band anisotropy, and the piezoelectric effect. The peaks were successfully assigned as different interband excitonic transitions. The best fit of the energy-level calculation to the experimental spectra suggests that the valence-band offset ratios (Qv=ΔEv/ΔEg) for (111)B and (100) InAsP/InP heterostructures are 0.35 and 0.30, respectively. This dependence on the substrate orientation was accounted for in terms of the strain-induced band-edge shift.

    Notes: We report the operation of an electrically injected monolithic coupled resonator vertical-cavity laser which consists of an active cavity containing InxGa1−xAs quantum wells optically coupled to a passive GaAs cavity. This device demonstrates modulation characteristics arising from dynamic changes in the coupling between the active and passive cavities. A composite mode theory is used to model the output modulation of the coupled resonator vertical-cavity laser. It is shown that the laser intensity can be modulated by either forward or reverse biasing the passive cavity. Under forward biasing, the modulation is due to carrier induced changes in the refractive index, while for reverse bias operation the modulation is caused by field dependent cavity enhanced absorption. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Carbon doping and the parasitic growth-rate reduction with carbon-tetrachloride (CCl4) in AlxGa1−xAs was studied in the entire Al composition range for metalorganic vapor phase epitaxial growth. The doping efficiency in AlGaAs was found to increase by two orders of magnitude when the Al composition in AlxGa1−xAs changed from 0 to 1. The parasitic growth rate reduction, however, decreased by a factor of 15 when x changed from 0 to 1. This reduction of growth rate was confirmed to be caused by the etching of the material from the surface by Cl radicals cracked from CCl4. This strong compositional selectivity of the doping and etching has potential implications for lateral definition of growth on patterned surfaces. The doping and etching behaviors were also studied as a function of the growth temperature. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Low-temperature photoluminescence measurements have been performed under hydrostatic pressure on GaAs/GaAs0.68P0.32 strained multiple quantum well samples grown by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy. The pressure induced crossover of the first confined electron state in the GaAs wells against the conduction band (001) X minima in the GaAs0.68P0.32 barriers has been observed, which allows a direct spectroscopic determination of the valence band offset for the heterostructure. As the result we obtain the unstrained valence band offset as 0.09±0.02 eV, which corresponds to an approximate 77:23 distribution of the energy gap difference in the conduction and valence bands, respectively, for the GaAs/GaAs0.68P0.32 system.

    Notes: The dependence of the intersubband transitions on pressure in strained In0.15Ga0.85As/GaAs multiple quantum wells has been studied in two samples with well widths of 8 and 15 nm, respectively, with photomodulated transmission spectroscopy by using a diamond anvil cell. The pressure coefficients of the energies for the intersubband transitions were found to depend significantly on the well widths and to be smaller than that of the band gap of constituents in bulk form. These results suggested that the critical thickness for strained In0.15Ga0.85As/GaAs layer should be smaller than 15 nm.

    Notes: We analyze the threshold properties of small area selectively oxidized vertical cavity lasers. Agreement for threshold gain versus laser size is found using the experimental intrinsic threshold voltage matched with a gain theory, as compared to a two-dimensional optical cavity simulation. Our analysis indicates the increasing threshold current density of small area lasers arises from both increasing threshold gain and the concomitant increasing leakage current. We further show that the optical loss can be reduced for lasers with areas as small as 0.25 μm2 while maintaining sufficient transverse optical confinement by displacing the apertures longitudinally away from the cavity and reducing the oxide thickness. © 1997 American Institute of Physics.
