AFRL researchers expect delivery of a prototype commercial InP growth furnace this spring under GTi s Phase II STTR contract. Developers and manufacturers of Air Force electronic components will soon be able to buy high-quality, lower cost InP wafers manufactured from domestic rather than foreign suppliers as a result of this AFRL, university and industry research effort. Mathematics D r. The Foundation recognized Dr. Keller for his profound and innovative contributions, in particular to electromagnetic, optical and acoustic wave propagation and the fluid, solid, quantum and statistical mechanics. His current research is focused on electromagnetic wave propagation through turbulent media.
Turbulence causes local changes in the refractive index of air.
Laser wavefronts transmitted through turbulent air become distorted and can be diverted, or break up into several beams. Ameliorating the effects of turbulence will allow accurate targeting by the Airborne Laser. The Wolf Foundation was established in 1976 by the late Dr. Ricardo Wolf, an inventor, diplomat and philanthropist, and his wife Francisca Subirana-Wolf to promote science and art for the benefit of mankind. Each year, five or six prizes have been awarded annually to outstanding living scientists and artists for achievements in the interest of mankind and friendly relations among peoples. Scientific prizes are awarded in the fields of agriculture, chemistry, mathematics, medicine, and physics.
