Housing researcher develops key index
Q: What has to happen to get us all the way back?
A: One is continued job growth, which the county has done pretty well over the last several years. We're doing better on jobs, but we're still overcoming that huge loss we had in 2008-'09. Job growth is adding demand, but this is a very different recovery for several reasons. Most importantly is foreclosures. Foreclosures, despite people saying 'oh. they're not an issue anymore,' they are in certain markets. In San Diego, and in most markets, foreclosures have cleared up. But if you go out to the Inland Empire, that's our biggest market in Southern California, foreclosures, for example, in Apple Valley are 70 percent of the market. That needs to clear through this system, and people are still upside down in a lot of markets.
Q: You're being inducted into the California Homebuilding Foundation's Hall of Fame this summer. What does that mean to you?
A: It's really humbling. The people that actually nominate you and vote on it are respected tremendously. Being nominated is very meaningful for me and my career. It's a really exciting honor for me.

A novel binary images edge detection method is presented. It directly clear the inner pixels of the images to obtain the edges. Connectivity-number were sought as detectors, those pixels that have zero-connectivity-number were eliminate as inner pixels from the image. Seventeen well-chosen templates change the computing into efficient exclusive or operations. Experimental results show that it provides less than 2-pixel-wide edges, spends average 8ms on the standard 256-by-256 Lena image. Considered the ratio of details and time consumed, the method shows improved performance than the well known Canny, Roberts and Sobel methods on binary images, and shows potential application on real-time edge detection for binary images.

I am trying to make a tool in ArcToolbox using a Python script so users can input a street and lot number and it will zoom to the correct location/s in the cadastre. It's working but I have to type the name of the street in upper case in the toolbox and I'd like it work for uppercase or lower.
I assume I should use something like .upper() but I don't know where to put it. I've tried and failed in a few places.
Here's my snippet:

You should a least wait for the Nov. CC. Hopefully CEO Milby enlightens as to the progress of his sales efforts and a few other items.
Nobody cares----I just saw a massive block of 200 shares trade! : )
Yeah I'm a little bummed. Financing is supposed to close today so hopefully they put out a PR stating they regained compliance and have some other news mixed in.
I expect we will get the most news from the next CC.

In an audiotape message aired by Aljazeera Monday, the former leader of the Salafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) urged al Qaeda operatives to repent and reintegrate into society, describing their actions as illegitimate according to Islamic law. Hassan Hattab, who was the leader of the group before it merged with al Qaeda and changed its name to al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, fell out with the GIA back in 1998 over the issue of targeting civilians.
"I invite you to refrain from what you are currently involved in. I urge you to lay down your arms and return to your families. Society is prepared to embrace you and heal your wounds," he said in the audio statement.

College of Arts & Sciences The Graduate Division Professional and Liberal Education
When College senior Deqa Farah completed her international relations research methods course, designed to help majors formulate thesis ideas, she decided on a topic that hit close to home.
The term "bureaucracy" has become synonymous with an overadherence to rules and structure—red tape. But, over time, John DiIulio Jr. says, America's aversion to a well-trained, governmental workforce has come back to bite it.
Heather William's small new book was a big assignment. The Presidential Term Professor of Africana Studies' 130-page American Slavery: A Very Short Introduction is part of a series from Oxford University Press that offers succinct starters on topics from accounting to witchcraft. It was a new kind of project for Williams, who had written two previous books.
Rutendo Chigora, a College senior from Harare, Zimbabwe, has been named one of the nation's two recipients of a Rhodes Scholarship. She is the 22nd Penn undergraduate to be named a Rhodes Scholar since the fellowship began in 1904. The scholarships fund two or three years of study at Oxford University in England.
A new minor in Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) gives Penn students not just another academic option but another way of looking at the world.
Recently students at the College's annual Family Weekend were given the opportunity to participate in the Undergraduate Research Poster Presentation, where they presented on the topics they are most passionate about.
This New Year's Eve, we'll watch the beginning of 2015 be celebrated again and again, from Hong Kong to Barcelona to New York to Hawaii. Our global time zones seem so straightforward, but it took more than 50 years to put them fully in place.
Undergraduates in the College of Arts and Sciences reinforce the idea that students at any level can tackle complex issues with a fresh perspective. Recently, students at the College's annual Family Weekend were given the opportunity to participate in the Undergraduate Research Poster Presentation, where they presented on the topics they are most passionate about.
What would you think of a man who amassed a huge personal fortune as he tutored and advised a disastrous dictator—all the while saying that virtue was the only thing that mattered? Call him a hypocrite and dismiss him? Associate Professor of Classical Studies Emily Wilson asks us to think again.

Bernard Vail's Sept. 7 letter, "Government pay rarely passed up," causes me to take up a strange new weapon — the pen.
Vail writes that "Any government job is better than working for a living." Vail should go before the Gold Star Mothers Club (established after World War I to provide support for mothers who lost sons or daughters in the war) and explain that their sons didn't work for a living. Then he needs to visit some of our national cemeteries, such as Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, the Punchbowl national cemetery in Hawaii, or any of the many cemeteries in Europe and observe the gravestones of all those people who "never worked for a living."
Following that, Vail needs to come home and write a letter of apology to all government workers.

NFL.com selects Panther's best and worst historical draft picks
CRA replied to tiger7_88's topic in Carolina PanthersSteve Smith scored more than 8 TDs once in his NFL career. He was awesome but part of what made him so awesome was his style of play and the entertainment value of it. Cam is a human cheat code the NFL has never experienced. That is why he is the best pick. No one in NFL history has comparable duel threat production to Cam....plenty compete with 89.
NFL.com selects Panther's best and worst historical draft picks
CRA replied to tiger7_88's topic in Carolina PanthersCam today, is the best player in franchise history. Over 89. Is what it is.
NFL.com selects Panther's best and worst historical draft picks
CRA replied to tiger7_88's topic in Carolina PanthersOtah was a Pro Bowl caliber talent when in the field...a beast. Probably one of the most dominating Ts we have ever had. he couldn't stay on the field. People also questioned his heart but you really can't hate on a guy because who wouldn't be overly foolish with his body. He was a monster of a man with knee issues who wouldn't play hurt. He wasn't bad in regards to talent.
well, I am not excusing the cops of wrong doing. I just don't feel sorry for people who meet Mr. Bad cop after they show their arse and basically try to dare a cop into doing something. Maybe that happened here, maybe it didn't.
josh norman tells redskins fan that he was not a fan of the dab
CRA replied to 15's topic in Carolina PanthersI like the first down point (b/c it irritates a d) and the Superman. I don't think Cam needs to expand. Dab was awesome. It took over. Now it is over. If Cam looks to find a new "dab" each year eventually he is going to look desperate IMO. B/c he won't be able to find a "dab" each season
as long as they are good ones. last thing we need is a damn Patriot fan junking up the place with crappy memes.
Doesn't matter to me. I know lots of small ladies that can get real nasty. If someone is resisting, there really is no "nice" way to handle it. I mean small statured angry and intoxicated person actually can put up a heck of a fight if you are trying to "nicely" control them. I don't believe any of them. I also don't feel sorry for anyone that dares a cop and gets put in their place. Could talk about the girl getting flipped out of the desk a few months back. I got no beef with it. if a cop tells you do X and you refuse and get loud and in their face....they don't have to wait for you to continue to escalate it further and for them to get attacked. I think too often we side against the cop to quick. Plenty IMO exists about the "mom" here to question how much of a victim she really was and how much of an instigator should could of been.
exactly. A non-answer. One can only reasonably assume that <hold on, let me take a sip of this delicious sweet team I have sitting here before I finish typing my thought> okay, where was I, oh yeah, one can only reasonably assume your failure to actually answer the question is an admission of your guilt!! Seems like we might have to consider a ban here shortly.
what makes you believe the "mom" though... the mom on her own accord admits she was very angry and got up in the cops face at one point (and anything she admits to will be a toned down version of events). We also know that she was down there celebrating a 22 yr olds birthday. Yet she gives the standard, I only had one drink hours and hours ago with dinner defense. I don't see how anyone could take a side in it. She probably acted up after being caught...and then cops went hard on her. Dealing with cops is actually easy. Don't be an idiot and surprisingly things work out fine.
okay, let's be real. Let's see how you do on the following test. 1. Are you a damn yankee? 2. Do you hate delicious sweet tea? 3. do you have a medical condition that prohibits you from enjoying American staples like ice cold sweet tea? 4. What year did you officially become a fan of the Patriots
do we really want bandwagon fans that might hop off the old Seattle bandwagon or whatever garbage team being part of "us"? quality over quantity. words to live by. so if any of you enjoy a nice warm glass of unsweeten tea....I suggest you go purchase a cheap high quality Russel Wilson jersey go be part of a like minded group like the 12th man crew. This is Jerry Richadson country over here. You see that!! Ice cold sweet tea! Can't argue with the Big Cat.
not disagreeing with that but we also now live in a world where people have little respect for authority and think virtually nothing applies to them and that they should be able to get out of anything. Based on the video alone, I would be willing to bet the woman was far from innocent in her initial act and more important how she reacted to the officers.
USA Today ranks the NFL head coaches
CRA replied to tiger7_88's topic in Carolina PanthersArians get too much hype IMO largely because people enjoy his BS persona. Don't get me wrong, he is a good coach but overhyped. also, I don't care if Tomlin has rings. Last few years he hasn't been a very good coach.
Cromartie in Charlotte....
CRA replied to Jeremy Igo's topic in Carolina Panthersgreat sweet tea is an art form. it can definitely be too sweet.

Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet Spy Photos are Out
Just after unveiling the S-Class Cabriolet and the SLC, Mercedes-Benz is getting ready to debut another convertible. Recently, spy shots of the Mercedes-Benz C-Class Cabriolet have been making rounds online. Based on the spy photos featured at Auto Express, the C-Class convertible lifts much of its design from the latest C-Class Coupe. Unlike the S-Class Cabriolet that had a four-door architecture, the C-Class cabrio follows its two-door coupe counterpart. Some of the pictures also show the C-Class convertible alongside its Coupe version. Judging from the images, the two are almost identical except, of course, their roofing. According to the source, the Mercedes C-Class Cabriolet will likely make its debut in… Continue Reading »

Florida football countdown
Published: Tuesday, July 1, 2014 at 6:01 a.m.

60 ... yards for the longest field goal in UF history.
Florida has had a bunch of excellent field goal kickers through the years, but none of them had a stronger leg than Chris Perkins.
Perkins was a long field goal specialist who had the unenviable task of playing behind Bobby Raymond, one of the most accurate kickers in UF history. In fact, on the day of Perkins' historic kick, Raymond had already kicked three field goals.
It was the third game of the 1984 season against Tulane, and the Gators were rolling. They were also dealing with NCAA investigators and this would be the last game Charley Pell would ever coach at UF.
With 22 seconds remaining in the third quarter and Florida already up 46-14, Perkins came in to try one from midfield. His 60-yard boot made it easily, and he said after the game he had made a 67-yarder in practice.
Florida went on to finish off the Green Wave 63-21, its first win in a season that would end up 9-1-1.
No Florida player has made another kick longer than 56 yards. That belongs to Caleb Sturgis, and he also made two 55-yarders.

The Rhinanthoid clade of the family Orobanchaceae comprises plants displaying a hemiparasitic or holoparasitic strategy of resource acquisition. Some of its species (mainly Rhinanthus spp.) are often used as models for studies of hemiparasite physiology. Although there is a well-developed concept covering their physiological processes, most recent studies have neglected the existence of hydathode trichomes present on leaves of these hemiparasitic plants. As a first step for the proposed integration of these structures in the theory of physiological processes of the hemiparasites, we described the outer micromorphology and ultrastructure of the hydathode trichomes on leaves of hemiparasitic Rhinanthus alectorolophus and Odontites vernus with scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM, respectively). The TEM inspections of both types of trichome revealed typical ultrastructural features: labyrinthine cell wall, high content of cytoplasm in cells with numerous mitochondria and presence of plasmodesmata. All these features indicate high metabolic activity complying with their function as glandular trichomes actively secreting water. The active secretion of water by the hydathode trichomes (evidence for which is summarised here) also presents a possible mechanism explaining results of previous gas exchange measurements detecting high dark respiration and transpiration rates and a tight inter-correlation between them in hemiparasitic Orobanchaceae. In addition, this process is hypothesised to have allowed multiple evolutionary transitions from facultative to obligate hemiparasitism and unique xylem-feeding holoparasitism of Lathraea with a long-lived underground stage featuring a rhizome covered by scales of leaf origin.

With just over two months until its theatrical release, Disney has just unveiled twelve new images from "Into the Woods" for all to behold.
The forthcoming fairytale flick is featured in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly with four different cover versions and the new cache of snapshots.
With "Into The Woods" coming to theaters this Christmas, Johnny Depp, Emily Blunt, Anna Kendrick and Lilla Crawford are all featured on four different versions of the Entertainment Weekly cover for October 31st.
Getting fans super excited for the new release, Universal Pictures shared the first trailer for "Stretch" earlier this week.
The action-packed clip features Patrick Wilson as a limo driver who is in desperate need of a quick hunk of cash.
They are rumored to have hooked up at London Fashion Week last year and Chris Pine took Zoe Kravitz to the Coldplay concert in Los Angeles last night (September 17).
The "Star Trek" hunk looked cool and casual in a New York Yankees ball cap with a denim shirt as he followed the "Divergent" dame out the front door of the Ace Hotel.
It's going to be tough to top the original, but "Horrible Bosses 2" looks to be even crazier than its predecessor.
There's still a few months before Disney drops "Into The Woods" into theaters, and in the meantime we have a set of still photos as a tasty visual appetizer.
The highly-anticipated flick is a big screen adaptation of the Stephen Sondheim fairytale-themed musical of the same name and it's currently in the re-shoot phase of production.
Hopping off his plane after a long flight, Chris Pine arrived at Heathrow Airport in London, England early this morning (April 7).
Looking rather exhausted, the "Star Trek" hunk wore a denim shirt with jeans and a black jacket as he slowly made his way through the busy terminal.
On March 1st he was arrested for drunk driving and this morning (March 17) Chris Pine was convicted of DUI at the Ashburton District Court.
The "Star Trek" hunk was fined $340 and ordered not to drive for six months after he pled guilty to operating a motor vehicle with a BAC of .11 (the legal limit is .08).

"Augustow channel" Augustow Things to Do Tip by Raimix
Augustow Things to Do: 10 reviews and 15 photos
Augustow channel probably is the most popular spot in town and in whole region of Poland. It was dug at the first half of 19th century. It connected river-basins of Nemunas and Vistula. The length of Augustow channel is 101,2 kilometres, about 20 kilometres are in Belarusian side. The popularity of channel is increased due to very nice landscape views, waters (lakes, rivers), old unique constructions of water - level changing constructions.
It is possible that Augustow channel in future could be inscribed into UNESCO World heritage list.

Do I have bad taste in music?
There's been so much said about Lady Gaga's new song, "Born This Way." Lots of people seem to really hate it. I have to go to my music barometer: George Lang. So George wasn't a fan, saying it sounds like Madonna's "Express Yourself." (And if you haven't read George's live blogging of the Grammys, it's hilarious. The Eminem reference is my absolutely favorite. Love. It.)
But I kind of like it.
Does this translate to me having bad taste in music? Maybe.

In my opinion at photokina we will not see a new SD*Q, maybe as a surprise a mockup for a mirrorless.

Orthodox bishop links homosexuals to paedophiles
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
I wonder what this nasty piece work did before perestroika?
this article proves this man is not very well read.because research has proven that there is a great differance between homosexuality and paedophilia. in fact a large percentage of paedophiles,are in the family.shouldnt he be preaching to them.and maybe he could go to the library and learn a little bit about the things that he preaches.
Doubt that Kirill has ever heard the saying that people in glasshouses should not throw stones.Once the church gets its own house in order, then perhaps they may cast the first one.Being uneducated and ignorant is no excuse to draw the conclusion that Homosexuality links to paedophiles, as statistics prove otherwise, and have for decades."It vitiates public morality. The task of the Church is to say that sin is sin. Otherwise, the Church is not needed." The only true thing he said, for no one needs to be told how to live his or her lives.
Another idiot cleric.1. According to govermnent statistics 98% of sexual offences against children are committed by heterosexuals (usually the parents. In other words, gay people, who make up around six per cent of the population, are responsible for only two per cent of sex crimes against children.2. Paedophillia is sex with people who society has decided are too young to give meaningful consent. What two consenting adults do to each other, regardless of their sexuality, is another matter entirely. 3. Religion and morality are two entirely separate matters. One is a fixed position based on ancient literature and the other is based on rational thought and a commonly arrived at consensus based on facts and ever developing knowledge.
quote:"Morality is either absolute or it does not exist. If you excuse homosexuality, why not excuse paedophilia?" he saidwell considering that paedophilla exsists in the straight world as well, if not more. Should we all start considering banning this as well. Hey better stil lets stop shagging full stop.
This bigot, who's undoubtedly pigheadedly opposed to samesex marriage as well ought to get together with Der Pope and ask Ratsi if it's true that celibacy makes the church grow fondlers. The catholic clergy are experts about pedophilia and have paid billions in lawsuits for the right to be considered so. The Russian state, whether it's Tsarist, Stalinist or bureaucratic always strengthens the orthodox cult when it's time to drum up support for antidemocratic measures. Putin, who is determined to reintroduce dictatorial methods, is doing just that by encouraging the antigay bigotry of figures like bishop Kiril and of Moscow Mayor Yuri Luzhkov.

This invention relates to mode control in solid state lasers and, more particularly, to such lasers which favor operation in either the transverse electric (TE) mode or the transverse magnetic (TM) mode and discriminate against the other.
On form of solid state laser is the buried heterostructure (BH) semiconductor laser which is the optical source of choice in most lightwave communications systems, especially long haul transmission systems operating at high bit rates (e.g., above 1 Gb/s). Typically BH lasers operate in the fundamental TE mode because the waveguide characteristics of the active layer (asymmetric cross-section and refractive index relative to that of the cladding layers) tend to support operation in a TE mode and suppress operation in a TM mode.
The suppression of the TM modes, however, is incomplete; during operation of the laser in a TE mode, occasionally the laser will switch to operation in a TM mode or in both a TM and a TE mode. The random occurrence of the TM mode is a statistical process and represents a form of noise; each occurrence of a TM mode may constitute an error in systems incorporating the laser. The number of such errors is measured, in digital systems, by the number of pulses which are incorrectly detected as logical "1" when in fact a logical "0" was transmitted, or conversely. The number of such erroneously detected pulses is known as the bit error rate (BER).
Generally, the higher the system bit rate, the lower the BER which may be required. Thus, for example, at a system bit rate of 1.7 Gb/s the required BER may be as low as 10-14 ; i.e., only one error in 1014 pulses occurs.
Stringent BER criteria have an adverse effect on the ability to manufacture semiconductor lasers with acceptable yields; the lower the BER, the lower the yield, in general.
Thus, there is a need for a semiconductor laser design in which TM modes are sufficiently suppressed to enable lasers with low BERs to be manufactured with acceptable yields.
In accordance with one aspect of the invention, oscillation of TM or TE modes within the resonator of a solid state laser is suppressed by filter means disposed on at least one surface of the laser on which the mode is incident. The filter means preferentially reflects either TE or TM modes so that oscillation of the non-reflected (i.e., transmitted or absorbed) mode within the laser resonator is suppressed.
In one embodiment, the filter means comprises a single-layered or multi-layered structure in which a plurality of grooves are formed in at least the region of the structure which overlaps the portion of the surface on which the mode is incident.
An illustrative embodiment of the invention is adapted to suppress the TM modes of a stripe geometry BH laser, in which a stripe-shaped waveguide layer has an asymmetric cross-section which tends to favor TE modes over TM modes. The waveguide layer, as used herein, is intended to embrace the active layer itself, waveguiding layers optically coupled to the active layer, or to a combination of the two. In this embodiment the grooves extend in the direction of the longer dimension of the cross-section; the grooves may be a series of parallel grooves or, to provide better match to curved mode shape, may be a series of curved grooves.
Of particular significance is the application of the principles of the invention to distributed feedback (DFB) semiconductor BH lasers which are preferred as single frequency sources for high bit rate (e.g., >1 Gb/s) lightwave systems. DFB-BH lasers are extremely difficult to manufacture with acceptable yields (often a fraction of 1%) so that the enhanced TM mode suppression provided by the instant invention offers the possibility of improved laser yields from a BER standpoint.
In another embodiment, the filter means includes a polarization sensitive film, such as an oriented polymer, which preferentially reflects the desired mode, thereby allowing the reflected mode to oscillate in the resonator. The film also has a high transmissivity for the undesired mode, thereby suppressing its oscillation in the resonator. Alternatively, the film may absorb the undesired mode, thereby suppressing its oscillation, and transmit the desired mode. But, in the latter case, a reflecting layer is disposed adjacent to the film to reflect the desired mode, thereby sustaining its oscillation within the resonator.
The invention, together with its various features and advantages, can be readily understood from the following more detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawing in which, in the interests of simplicity and clarity, the figures have not been drawn to scale:
FIG. 1 is a schematic, isometric view of a solid state laser in accordance with an illustrative embodiment of the invention in which the filter means includes a layer having straight, parallel grooves;
FIG. 2 depicts alternative, curved shapes of the grooves which form part of an alternative embodiment of the filter of FIG. 1; and
FIGS. 3 and 4 are schematic, side views of solid state lasers in accordance with yet other embodiments of the invention in which the filter means includes a polarizing film; and
FIG. 5 is a schematic, isometric view of a buried heterostructure laser to which the principles of the invention can be usefully applied.
Turning now to FIG. 1, there is shown a solid state laser comprising a solid state body 10 capable of generating laser radiation 12 which, in general, oscillates in TE or TM modes, or both. The radiation is incident on a region of at least one surface 14 of body 10. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a reflection filter 20 is located on surface 14 so as to preferentially reflect either TE or TM modes and to suppress the non-reflected modes; that is, the non-reflected modes do not oscillate within the optical resonator of the laser. Filter 20 is single-layered or multi-layered structure in which a plurality of grooves 22 are formed so as to overlap the region of surface 14 on which the radiation is incident. The pitch of the grooves (or of the interleaved stripes formed thereby) is typically about λ/2, where λ is measured in the material in which the grooves are formed. The specific pitch chosen, whether greater or smaller than λ/2, depends on the curvature of the wavefront and on the desired reflectivity. The latter in turn depends on other considerations. For example, if the reflectivity is too high the light intensity distribution in the resonator may be overly asymmetric. On the other hand, a smaller pitch, hence higher reflectivity, may be desired for curved wavefronts. The trade offs, however, can be readily handled by those skilled in the art. In addition, although the term pitch, above, implies that the grooves are spaced uniformly, that is not essential. It may be desirable to utilize non-uniform spacing in which the average spacing achieves reflection of the desired mode; e.g., the average spacing may be approximately λ/2.
The direction in which the grooves extend depends on whether TE modes or TM modes are to be suppressed; thus, the direction of the grooves is essentially perpendicular to the direction of polarization of the modes to be suppressed. In addition, the shape of grooves may have varied geometries. The straight, parallel grooves of FIG. 1 are sufficient for many applications, but where the mode to be suppressed has a curved rather than a plane wavefront, it may be desirable to bend the grooves so as to approximate the curved wavefront, as shown by the curved segments in FIG. 2.
In one embodiment of the invention, the solid state body has a stripe-shaped dielectric waveguide 30 which may also include an active region from which laser radiation is generated by suitable electrical (or optical) pumping means not shown, but well known in the art. Waveguide 30 has a higher refractive index than the cladding regions which surround it, and, in addition, typically has an asymmetric cross-section. The longer dimension of the crosssection extends horizontally. The combined effect of the refractive index profile and shape of the waveguide 30 would (in the absence of filter means 20) cause the laser to favor operation in a TE mode, usually the fundamental TE mode but not exclusively so--the TM modes are often inadequately suppressed depending on the required BER. As shown in FIG. 1, the TE mode is polarized along the longer cross-sectional dimension of waveguide 30, whereas the TM modes are polarized perpendicular thereto. Accordingly, adequate suppression of the TM modes is achieved by orienting the grooves 22 of reflection filter means 20 parallel to the longer dimension of the cross-section; i.e., parallel to the direction of polarization of the TE modes and perpendicular to the direction of polarization of the TM modes. Consequently, the TE mode is reflected and the TM mode is not. Since optical feedback for the TM mode is significantly decreased, the likelihood that it will oscillate is greatly reduced. Conversely, if it were desired to suppress the TE modes, then the waveguide would be designed to favor the desired TM mode, and the grooves would be oriented parallel to the polarization of the TM mode.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, laser 10 operates as a single frequency source. Nominally, the frequencies (wavelengths) at which the laser operates are determined by the composition of its active region and the number of such frequencies which exhibit net gain. From among these frequencies, a single frequency is selected by suitable DFB means such as grating 18 which is optically coupled to radiation propagating in waveguide 30. The waveguide 30 extends perpendicular to parallel surfaces 14 and 16 which, together with grating 18, form an optical resonator. Suitable low reflectivity coatings 15 and 17 are located on surfaces 14 and 16, respectively. Preferably coating 15 is an antireflection (AR) coating which is illustratively λ/4 thick (or an odd multiple thereof). On at least one of the coatings 15 a higher refractive index material or a metal layer 19 is disposed, so that the composite, multi-layered structure of layers 15 and 19 forms a reflection filter. To achieve filtering, grooves 22 are formed in layer 19 by any suitable technique, such as ion-milling, which does not damage the underlying active layer. The grooves illustratively extend through layer 19 and expose the underlying portion of layer 15. A passivation coating (not shown) may be formed over the grooves.
Illustratively, the single-frequency laser 10 is a BH-DFB semiconductor laser. One advantageous design of such a laser is the covered (or capped) mesa buried heterostructure (CMBH) shown in FIG. 5. Other designs, however, such as etched mesa buried heterostructures (EMBH) can also be used. In an exemplary design of the CMBH, the waveguide 30 includes a relatively narrow bandgap (high refractive index) semiconductor active layer sandwiched between higher bandgap (lower refractive index) cladding layers 40 in a mesa 50 disposed on a substrate 70. The cladding layers have opposite conductivity types The waveguide has the shape of a stripe with an asymmetric cross-section. The longer dimension of the cross-section extends parallel to the plane of the layers. Adjacent to the side walls of the mesa are current-blocking regions 60, typically semi-insulating semiconductor, which are flush with the top of the mesa. This structure is capped with contact-facilitating layers 80 and 82. To provide DFB, grating 18 is formed on substrate 70. In the interests of simplicity, the electrical contacts to the substrate 14 and layer 82 have been omitted but are well known in the art.
The front and back surfaces 14 and 16 of the CMBH are typically parallel cleaved facets on which the low reflectivity coatings (not shown in FIG. 5) are formed. The higher refractive index material or metal layer (also not shown in FIG. 5) used for the filter means (FIG. 1) is formed on at least one of these coatings. This type of laser design tends to favor the fundamental TE mode, and, so, the grooves would extend along the longer dimension of the waveguide 30, thereby to preferentially reflect the TE mode.
The CMBH is commonly a 1.55 μm laser fabricated from the InP/InGaAsP materials system; that is, the waveguide layer 30 includes an InGaAsP active layer with its composition chosen to emit laser radiation at about 1.55 μm. The cladding layers 40 may comprise InP, but at least one typically includes a well-known quaternary anti-meltback layer grown on the active layer. The blocking regions preferably comprise semi-insulating Fe-doped InP, and, when starting with an n-type InP substrate 70, the contact-facilitating layers comprise p-InP layer 80 and p-InGaAsP layer 82. The AR coatings on surfaces 14 and 16 illustratively comprise amorphous zirconia, an the metal layer in which the grooves are formed illustratively comprises Cr, Al, Au or Pt. The grooves are formed by focused ion beam milling using, as an exemplary ion species Ga ions, focused to a submicron spot and scanned to remove portions of the metal layer and to form by physical sputtering grooves of the desired shape and orientation.
Experiments were performed on 1.55 μm InP/InGaAsP DFB lasers of the CMBH type described above. The laser chips were about 250 μm long (resonator length) and 500 μm wide (facet width). The active layer cross-section was about 1 μm wide and 0.15 μm thick. On each facet an amorphous zirconia AR coating about 2100 Å thick was formed. On the rear facet a Au layer about 400 Å thick was deposited, and straight grooves parallel to the 1 μm dimension of the active layer were formed in the AU layer by Ga ion beam milling. The Ga ion beam had an energy of 20 keV, a dose of about 3�1017 /cm2, and was focused to a spot size of about 2000 Å. (Equipment which produces smaller beam spots, e.g., 500 Å, is also available.) The ion beam was used to form grooves which were 2000 Åwide, 25 μm long with a pitch of about 4000 Å. The grooves were located in a region measuring about 25 μm wide by 8 μm high which overlapped the end of the active layer.
Both DC and pulsed tests were performed on the lasers. In the DC tests the L-I (light power vs. current) characteristics demonstrated that the TM modes were essentially not present; that is, the TM mode threshold was not observed in the L-I measurements in which the current ranged as high as 200 mA, and the TM mode power was more than 35 dB below the TE mode. The pulsed tests were performed on lasers which initially (without a reflection filter) were extremely poor (ver high BERs of, say, 10-2), but after the filter was incorporated had dramatically improved BERs of 10-8 at 1.7 Gb/s. Even lower BERs are anticipated by applying the principles of the invention to lasers which initially have better, yet perhaps unacceptable, BERs such as 10-8. In general, however, lower BERs of, say, 10-14 are also expected as the laser design evolves. This evolution might involve choice of the metal in which the grooves are formed, and/or details of the ion milling process (e.g., choice of pitch and spacing-to-width aspect ratio of the stripes which are formed between the grooves of the filter means of FIG. 1).
It is to be understood that the above-described arrangements are merely illustrative of the many possible specific embodiments which can be devised to represent application of the principles of the invention. Numerous and varied other arrangements can be devised in accordance with these principles by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
In particular, the filter means 20 may take on other forms which do not require a grooved layer 19 of the type shown in FIGS. 1 and 2. Thus, in FIGS. 3 and 4, the solid state body 10, the surfaces 14 and 16, the waveguide 30 and the low reflectivity coatings 15 and 17 are comparable to those previously discussed, but the filter designs are different. Reflection filter 20' of FIG. 3 includes a polarization sensitive film 21 disposed on coating 15 so as to have a high transmissivity for the undesired mode (e.g., TM) and to reflect the desired mode (e.g., TE), thereby suppressing oscillation of the former in the resonator. On the other hand, reflection filter 20" of FIG. 4 the polarization sensitive film 23 is disposed on coating 15 so as to absorb the undesired mode (e.g., TM) and transmit the desired mode (e.g., TE). While this much of the structure suppresses oscillation of the undesired mode in the resonator, in order to sustain oscillation of the desired mode a reflecting layer 25 is disposed on film 23. In general, the polarizing films comprise oriented polymers in which the molecules are oriented along a particular direction to affect (reflect, absorb, transmit) a particular mode. Such polymers are well known in the art; e.g., H-sheet which comprises polymeric molecules, including primarily iodine atoms, embedded in a plastic. The polarizing film may also be a discrete film affixed to the coating with a suitable adhesive (e.g., epoxy). From a manufacturing standpoint, however, it is preferred to deposit the film on the coating.

Jason Collie, Assistant Editor / / News
A WOMAN was grabbed and sexually assaulted by two men in a churchyard in Oxford last night.
Police have said this afternoon the 18-year-old woman was walking through St James' Cemetery between Beauchamp Lane and Church Hill Road, Cowley, at about 11.30pm.
Two men approached her before one of them grabbed her.
The other man then sexually assaulted her, Det Con Gurinder Sangha said.
The woman suffered a black eye and scratches to her face and needed hospital treatment but has been discharged.
There is no description of the men yet, a police spokesman said.
Dc Sangha said: "I would like to appeal to anyone who may have seen anything suspicious in the area of St James' Cemetery at about 11.30pm last night to contact police. Your help might assist our enquiries, so if you do have any information please call us.
"We are conducting a thorough investigation into the offence."
Anyone with any information is asked to call Dc Sangha on the police number 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — Defender Oguchi Onyewu and forward Herculez Gomez were in the starting lineup for the United States' exhibition game against Brazil on Wednesday night in place of Geoff Cameron and Terrence Boyd.
The rest of the American lineup was unchanged from Saturday's 5-1 win over Scotland, with Tim Howard in goal, Steve Cherundolo at right back, captain Carlos Bocanegra in central defense, Fabian Johnson at left back, Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones and Maurice Edu in midfield, and Landon Donovan and Jose Torres at forward.
Forward Clint Dempsey, recovered from a groin injury, was on the bench along with Boyd, defenders Clarence Goodson, Michael Parkhurst and Edgar Castillo, and midfielder Kyle Beckerman.
