PHYSIOLOGICAL MODEL OF HUMAN APOLIPOPROTEIN-E EXPRESSION

Not Available The goal of this program is to develop reliable, compact, ultrafast, high peak-power lasers. These lasers will be used in the military for cloud penetration, reconnaissance, remote sensing, and active illumination, in the microelectronic industry for repair of photomasks, and for SRAM/DRAM yield improvement; in the automobile industry for sensors and fuel injector machining; and in the aerospace industry for turbine blade machining. Clark-MXR's design departs drastically from traditional free-space cavity approach that has been the basic of all ultra-high peak power lasers built to-date. Rather we will rely exclusively on guided-cavity components: optical fibers and ultra-large waveguides. These elements, coupled with diode-pumping, will be configured in a chirped pulse amplification geometry. They will provide ultra-high peak powers coupled with exceptional compactness and robustness. Clark-MXR has the in-house expertise to design this type of source and the support structure to manufacture and commercialize it. Clark-MXR has also a unique capability to micromachine the large waveguides necessary for this program. The University of Michigan (Professor K. Winick) will Provide the expertise in optical waveguide design and testing. Avalon Investment Inc. (MI) will provide funding for the commercialization phase (Phase III or Fast).
