The NOAA-6 Satellite Mosaic of Antarctica: A Progress Report

The Antarctic mosaic project is a joint National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration/United States Geological Survey (NOAA/USGS) project to produce a photomosaic map at 1:5 000 000 scale. The mosaic will be made as a collage of rectified images from the polar-orbiting NOAA-6 satellite. The near-infrared wavelength band of 0.725 to 1.10 μm, with a spatial resolution of 1.1 km, will be used. The NOAA-6 data are obtained from the McMurdo station receiving facility and from the archive of recorded data. Examples of imagery from both sources are presented. The operational plan including the processing flow chart, rectification process, progress to date, and problems to be faced are discussed. Applications of the mosaic are discussed as well as possible NOAA-6 applications to Antarctic investigators.

Substrate Temperatures

Potassium lithium niobate (KLN: K3Li2Nb5O15) films have been deposited on quartz glass by Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technique using a stoichiometric KLN target as starting materials. By investigating the effects of both the oxygen pressure and the substrate temperature on the structure of KLN films, optimum parameters have been identified for the growth of high-quality KLN films. At 10Pa oxygen ambient pressure, tetragonal tungsten-bronze-type structure of KLN films with (310) preferred orientation can be achieved at substrate temperatures in the range of 700-800°C. Optical studies indicate that the films are highly transparent in the visible-near-infrared wavelength range.

Coating Method

In this paper, a novel and cost-effective photonic platform based on silica–titania material is discussed. The silica–titania thin films were grown utilizing the sol–gel dip-coating method and characterized with the help of the prism-insertion technique. Afterwards, the mode sensitivity analysis of the silica–titania ridge waveguide is investigated via the finite element method. Silica–titania waveguide systems are highly attractive due to their ease of development, low fabrication cost, low propagation losses and operation in both visible and near-infrared wavelength ranges. Finally, a ring resonator (RR) sensor device was modelled for refractive index sensing applications, offering a sensitivity of 230 nm/RIU, a figure of merit (FOM) of 418.2 RIU−1, and Q-factor of 2247.5 at the improved geometric parameters. We believe that the abovementioned integrated photonics platform is highly suitable for high-performance and economically reasonable optical sensing devices.
