Laser-Fabricated Delay Lines in GaAs for Optically Steered Phased-Array Radar Louay Eldada‚ Member‚ IEEE‚ Robert Scarmozzino‚ Richard M. Osgood Jr.‚ Fellow‚ IEEE‚ David C. Scott‚ Yian Chang‚ and Harold R. Fetterman Abstract ─ We have used laser direct fabrication techniques to implement optical delay lines on an epitaxial GaAs/AIGaAs substrate. These integrated photonic circuits‚ which are important for optically-controlled phased-array radar‚ include asymmetric splitters with various splitting

Critical Time Line The critical time line is a sequence of moves i.e. actions and reactions performed by the company and its rivals within the time continuum. It helps us in understanding the expected pattern of sequence in t+1. While constructing the critical time for the action-reaction sequence between Sony and Microsoft‚ the time period considered is between 2000 and 2017. The events considered are the generally the product announcements and their release‚ the initial pricing and the price adjustment
