Design challenges and performance optimization of an all-optical analog-to-digital converter (AOADC) is presented here. The paper addresses both microwave and optical design of a leaky waveguide optical deflector using electro-optic (E-O) polymer. The optical deflector converts magnitude variation of the applied RF voltage into variation of deflection angle out of a leaky waveguide optical beam...

A transmission-type nonmechanical multiple-angle beam-steering device that uses liquid-crystal blazed grating has been developed. Sixteen steering angles with a contrast ratio of 18 has been demonstrated. A detailed analysis of the liquid-crystal and poly(methyl methacrylate) blazed-grating deflector was carried out to provide guidance during the deflector's development. A manufacturing offset ...

Compensated accelerating structures with longitudinal electric field are well known in the accelerator technology due to high efficiency and parameters stability. For charge particles separation another structures with transverse fields, like travelling wave Disk Loaded Wavegiude (DLW) are used. We propose the standing wave compensated structure with transverse fields for particles rf deflectio...

2014 A novel chopper-buncher system is under construction for the Rehovot 14UD Pelletron. Beam dynamics calculations of that system are described. The ultimate performance for nickel ions is 100 picoseconds pulse, at a repetition rate of 4 MHz, and transmission of 15 % of the d.c. beam current.
