This paper will examine the key packaging challenges in the fabrication of a 1000x1000 OXC, using MOEMS (micro-optical-electromechanical-systems) mirrors in 2N configurations.
It will describe how wafer-scale-integration (WSI) allowed for much greater simplification of the overall system and creation of the first...

CCDs are ideal for very low light imaging applications, such as astronomy, clinical diagnostic testing, and bioluminescence. The compatibility of the CCD with very long integration times, and facility for noiseless on-chip charge binning, makes it a very sensitive imager.
It remains very competitive for certain applications...

Modern power distribution systems often contain multiple power sources integrated within one system. A simple variant may be the common double-ended substation, which can be further complicated by additional emergency or alternate sources. This presents significant complexity to the designer attempting to design a protection...
