    摘要: An illumination apparatus forms, onto a linear array light modulator, a line of illumination that extends in a linear direction. The illumination apparatus has a first laser array with laser emitters for forming a first linear beam array and a second laser array with laser emitters for forming a second linear beam array. An array combiner aligns at least the first and second linear beam arrays in the linear direction and directs the first and second linear beam arrays along a propagation path to form a mixed illumination. At least first and second cylindrical lens elements having power in the linear direction relay the mixed illumination from the propagation path toward the linear array light modulator. At least third and fourth cylindrical lens elements having power in the cross-array direction that is orthogonal to the linear direction focus the mixed illumination onto the linear array light modulator.

    摘要: A method for determining the optical retardation of an anisotropic material. A beam of light is directed toward a sample of the material and a portion of the reflected beam is collected from the optical interfaces of the material and directed toward an interferometer. The resulting interference signal is analyzed to determine the retardation. The retardation is determined as being the distance between particular peaks of the interference signal. In a further embodiment, light from multiple wavelength light sources is directed toward the sample of the material.

    摘要: An optical fiber connector or coupler (24-54) is provided which partially reflects light travelling in one direction (56) but preferably transmits light without reflection in the opposite direction (58). When such connectors (C.sub.o to C.sub.n) are alternated with ambient environment sensors (S.sub.l to S.sub.n) in an optical fiber transmission path, light pulses launched in the one direction from a source (60) produce reflected light at a detector (62) which reflected light can be correlated to a preselected characteristic of the environment at each sensor. A series of such connectors can be used without sensors to provide reference signals from points along an optical fiber transmission path. A single fiber path can be used, without the need for a separate fiber for feedback.

    摘要: A body of polymeric piezoelectric material is nonuniformly poled by establishing a temperature gradient greater than about 10.degree. C. and less than about 100.degree. C. across the thickness of the body and applying an electric field across the thickness of the body in an amount and for a time sufficient to induce nonuniform polarization in the material, whereby a portion of the body near the surface maintained at a lower temperature receives relatively stronger polarization than a portion near the surface maintained at a higher temperature.In a preferred embodiment of the invention, after poling in one direction in a temperature gradient to more strongly polarize a portion of the material near one surface, the temperature gradient and the field polarity are reversed, to polarize a portion of the body near the opposite surface in an opposite direction.Flexure mode elements comprising continuous bodies of polymeric piezoelectric material nonuniformly poled according to the method of the present invention exhibit relatively strong flexure mode response to applied fields. A novel flexure mode element produced by one of the methods of the present invention is characterized by having relatively strong polarization near one surface in a direction pointing into the body of material. Another novel flexure mode element produced by one of the preferred methods of the present invention is characterized by having relatively strong polarization in portions near opposite sides of the body and in opposite directions pointing inward toward the body of the material.

    摘要: A system and method of printing includes providing print and non-print drop formation waveforms to a drop formation device of a drop ejector in response to input print data to form print and non-print drops, respectively, from a liquid jet. First and second charging waveforms are provided to a charging electrode of a drop charging device when a relative motion of a receiver and the drop ejector is provided or measured at first and second speeds, respectively. The first and second charging waveforms are independent of input print data and include first and second voltage states. The drop formation device and the drop charging device are synchronized to produce print and non-print drop charge states on print and non-print drops, respectively. A deflection device causes print and non-print drops to travel along print and non-print drop paths, respectively, with the non-print drops being collected by a catcher.
