    摘要: By connecting the Bradbury-Nielson gate (BNG) directly to a driver without a transmission line, distortion of the voltage waveform experienced a the BNG are much reduced. Because the magnitude of the modulation defects grows as the applied modulation voltage is increased, Bradbury-Nielson gates with finer wire spacing such as 100 microns, and operating at 10 to 15 V, significantly better signal-to-noise ratios are achieved. HT-TOFMS data were also post processed using an exact knowledge of the modulation defects.

    摘要: A beam modulation device gate is constructed from a silicon material, such as a silicon layer on an silicon on insulator wafer. The device further comprises a set of electrical contacts on the layer. The layer defines a set of electrically conducting silicon material fingers forming an array, wherein each of at least some of the fingers is connected electrically to one of the electrical contacts. The gate may be used in a mass or ion mobility spectrometer. Where the gate is constructed from a silicon on insulator wafer, an insulator layer supports the silicon layer and a handle layer supports the insulator layer. When predetermined electrical potentials are applied to the electrical contacts, at least some of the fingers will be substantially at said predetermined electrical potentials to modulate a beam of charged particles that passes through said array of fingers. A plurality of devices of the type above may be used, where each of the devices modulates the beam so that the beam is deflected along a direction different from direction along which the beam is deflected by any of the remaining devices. A plurality of devices of the type above may be used for a mass gate or charged particle buncher device. For making an ion optical device, an array of fingers is formed in a silicon layer of the silicon on insulator wafer. A portion of a handle layer of the wafer on a side of an insulator layer of the wafer opposite to that of the fingers is removed; and a portion of the insulator layer is removed so that the fingers are connected to the wafer only through the silicon layer and at one end of the fingers.

    摘要: An ring-down spectroscopy instrument comprising a ring-down cavity (RDC) and CW light source (CWLS). The CWLS produces light having components with different polarizations. The ring-down cavity is optically isolated from the light source so that light reflected from the cavity is precluded from perturbing the light source. A frequency shifter shifts a mean frequency of the first component of input light with respect to a mean frequency of the second component of input light by a frequency shift &Dgr;&ngr;. A first detector measures a signal beam with the a polarization. A second detector measures a tracking beam having a second polarization. The frequency shift &Dgr;&ngr; is equal to a difference between a resonant frequency of a first cavity mode with the first polarization and a resonant frequency of a second cavity mode having the second polarization. A threshold detector delivers a trigger pulse to the frequency shifter when an intensity of the signal beam reaches a predetermined value. The trigger pulse causes the frequency shifter to temporarily change the frequency shift &Dgr;&ngr;, thereby temporarily decoupling the first component of input light from the ring-down cavity. An embodiment of the invention includes a ring down spectroscopy method. Radiation coupled into a ring-down cavity is swept in frequency by to excite one or more resonant modes of the cavity. When a fundamental mode of the cavity reaches a predetermined threshold value a digitizer produces a ring-down decay curve. An absorption spectrum is determined by extrapolating a decay constant from a logarithm of the decay curve.

    摘要: Method and system for cavity ring down spectroscopic analysis of non-cavity-filling sample. An interface of a sample (gas, liquid, thin film, bulk solid, etc.) is positioned at a Brewster angle relative to a p-wave polarized light beam propagating in an optical cavity so that substantially no light beam energy is lost by reflection at the interface. The light beam cycles one or more times in the cavity for each of a sequence of selected wavelengths, is extracted from the cavity, and is analyzed to determine an absorption spectrum for the sample. The cavity, except for the sample region may be filled with a solid, optionally dielectrically active and optionally having an electrical field applied thereto to vary the solid's refractive index according to the light beam wavelength used.

    摘要: An ion beam supplied from a source is modulated so that ions at a constant flux is passed during on periods or portions thereof and are deflected or stopped during off periods according to a binary sequence in order to encode the ion beam with phase information of the sequence. The binary sequence is such that ions released during two consecutive on periods overlap before reaching a detector, thereby increasing the duty-cycle. The detector output signal is demodulated using the phase information of the binary sequence to recover an ion mass spectrum.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for controlling precisely the composition and delivery of liquid at sub-.mu.L/min flow rate. One embodiment of such a delivery system is an electro-osmotically driven gradient flow delivery system that generates dynamic gradient flows with sub-.mu.L/min flow rates by merging a plurality of electro-osmotic flows. These flows are delivered by a plurality of delivery arms attached to a mixing connector, where they mix and then flow into a receiving means, preferably a column. Each inlet of the plurality of delivery arms is placed in a corresponding solution reservoir. A plurality of independent programmable high-voltage power supplies is used to apply a voltage program to each of the plurality of solution reservoirs to regulate the electro-osmotic flow in each delivery arm. The electro-osmotic flow rates in the delivery arms are changed with time according to each voltage program to deliver the required gradient profile to the column.

    摘要: A cavity ring down spectroscopy (CRDS) system uses a free-running continuous wave (c.w.) diode laser stabilized by frequency-shifted optical feedback in the presence of strong reflections from a high-finesse Fabry-Perot resonator. The frequency-shifted feedback stabilization eliminates the need for tightly controlling the relative positions of the laser and resonator. Non-frequency-shifted feedback is used for linewidth broadening. An acousto-optic modulator placed between the diode laser output and the resonator input frequency-shifts light reflected by the resonator input, causing the laser to cycle in phase with a period equal to the inverse of the frequency-shift. The laser diode linewidth can be stabilized from several MHz for high resolution spectroscopy of species at low pressures, to several hundred MHz for lower resolution spectroscopy of species at atmospheric pressures.

    摘要: A cross or T-shaped device is disclosed for use in capillary electrophoresis or capillary chromatography. The device includes a first capillary tube and a second capillary tube connected to the first tube at a point between the two ends of the first tube so that the contents flowing in the second tube will mix with a fluid flowing in the first tube. The two tubes enclose spaces with cross-sectional dimensions less than about 200 microns. The two tubes are connected so that there is substantially no dead space at the connection. The device is made by boring a hole at a selected location in the first tube, introducing an elongated guide member into the hole, threading the member into the second tube until the second tube contacts the first tube. The second tube is then permanently connected to the first tube and the guide member is then removed to form a T-shaped device. To form the cross-shaped device, a second hole is drilled at a location opposite to the first hole and a guide member is introduced into the second hole as well. A third tube is threaded onto the guide member on the opposite side of the second tube until it contacts the first tube. The third tube is also permanently connected to the first tube and the guide member is removed to yield a device with a cross-shaped configuration.
