摘要:
An optical transconductance varistor system having a modulated radiation source configured to provide modulated stimulus, a wavelength converter operably connected to the modulated radiation source to produce a modulated stimulus having a predetermined wavelength, and a wide bandgap semiconductor photoconductive material in contact between two electrodes. The photoconductive material is operably coupled, such as by a beam transport module, to receive the modulated stimulus having the predetermined wavelength to control a current flowing through the photoconductive material when a voltage potential is present across the electrodes.
摘要:
A method of fabricating a multilayer dielectric (MLD) diffraction grating by providing a multilayer stack having a grating layer, and anisotropically etching the grating layer to form grating lines having an initial lineheight, an initial linewidth, and an initial grating duty cycle, that are greater than a target lineheight, a target linewidth, and a target grating duty cycle, respectively. An isotropic wet etch solution is then used to etch back the grating lines to the target lineheight, the target linewidth, and the target grating duty cycle so as to minimize electric field intensities and maximize diffraction efficiency for a given set of MLD illumination conditions.
摘要:
The design and fabrication of dielectric grating structures with high diffraction efficiency used in reflection or transmission is described. By forming a multilayer structure of alternating index dielectric materials and placing a grating structure on top of the multilayer, a diffraction grating of adjustable efficiency, and variable optical bandwidth can be obtained. Diffraction efficiency into the first order in reflection varying between 1 and 98 percent has been achieved by controlling the design of the multilayer and the depth, shape, and material comprising the grooves of the grating structure. Methods for fabricating these gratings without the use of ion etching techniques are described.

摘要:
A photoconductive switch and optical transconductance varistor having a photoconductive region e.g. a wide bandgap semiconductor material substrate between opposing electrodes. An optical waveguide is arranged to surround the photoconductive region for directing conduction-inducing radiation into the photoconductive region. And an optical diffusion element is arranged to diffuse/disperse the radiation prior to entering the optical waveguide and into the substrate, for uniformly illuminating the substrate for conduction.

A method of cleaning a diffraction grating preferably includes exposing the grating surface to an aqueous base to remove an organic photoresist mask thereon; rinsing the grating surface with de-ionized water; oxidizing acid solution (such as Nanostrip™ or Nanostrip™ 2X) to remove metallic contaminants and residue organic compounds; rinsing the grating surface with de-ionized water; exposing the grating surface to an oxygen plasma ashing process using reactive oxygen species to oxidize and remove fluorinated hydrocarbon residue; exposing the grating surface again to an oxidizing acid solution to remove metallic contaminants and residue organic compounds; and rinsing the grating surface with de-ionized water.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for improving the quality and efficiency of machining of materials with laser pulse durations shorter than 100 picoseconds by orienting and maintaining the polarization of the laser light such that the electric field vector is perpendicular relative to the edges of the material being processed. Its use is any machining operation requiring remote delivery and/or high precision with minimal collateral dames.
