<title>Mercurous bromide Bragg cell development</title>

Abstract

Bragg cells fabricated from mercurous bromide, Hg2Br2, offer the possibility of long time-delay signal processing in a compact package. Crystal growth and fabrication techniques provide the key to exploiting this material for practical signal-processing devices. Bragg cells from Hg2Br2 are fabricated and tested that are approximately 5.5-cm long, which corresponds to 200 microsec delay time.
