Interpreting the Dark Energy Figure of Merit

Transmissive spatial light modulators with high figure-of-merit liquid crystals for foveated imaging applications

Unique liquid crystal (LC) spatial light modulators (SLM) are being developed for foveated imaging systems that provide wide field-of-view (FOV) coverage (±60 in azimuth and elevation) without requiring gimbals or other mechanical scanners. Recently, a transmissive-SLM-based system operating in the visible (532 nm) has been demonstrated. The LC SLM development is addressing implementation issu...

High figure-of-merit nematic mixtures based on totally unsaturated isothiocyanate liquid crystals

High birefringence and low viscosity isothiocyanate liquid crystal single compounds, and eutectic mixtures based solely on unsaturated rigid core structures, are reported. Extraordinarily high values of figure-of-merit were observed at room temperature for the formulated nematic mixtures. Potential applications of such mixtures for laser beam steering at l51.55mm using optical phased arrays are...

Figure of Merit for Multiband Antennas

This communication defines a figure of merit for multiband antennas that gives an objective quantification of the similarities between radiation patterns at the different antenna operating bands.

Microwave Amplifier Figure of Merit Measurement

Fig.2 Amplifier under test. Amplifiers can operate in classes A, B, AB, C, D, E and F [2]. We tested class A amplifier made by „Microwave Power Devices“, Model: LWA 4690-1/1837, based on bipolar devices (Fig.2). Usually, 1dB compression point, gain and two-tone third-order intercept point are measured as the amplifier figure of merit. As specified by manufacturer, the frequency range of the amp...
