Conclusion This summer our projects worked on creating technologies and devices to improve communications and communications security. These technologies will provide direct support for the Department of Defense, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Warfighter. This opportunity gave us an exciting window into how technical research is conducted in an applications oriented organization. Introduction Our projects covered a wide range of fields including photonics, signal processing, cryptography, and software development. Our internships were based at SPAWAR Systems Center Pacific (SSC PAC). SSC PAC is the US Navy’s research, development, acquisition, test and evaluation facility on the west coast. The research done at SPAWAR focuses on Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (C4ISR).

lasers. The red line indicates that a range
of about 100 nm is with the optimal
OSNR (Optical Signal to Noise Ratio). This covers over 30 peaks
