Optical systems for focused light emission, which can be used as full color-capable pixels in grid assemblies, such as variable message signs and outdoor electronic display boards. The optical systems may include a light source that is a commercially available full-color LED in SMD design having a red, a green, and a blue LED crystal, which may be disposed at an inlet surface of a light-guiding rod having a constant cross-section and a jacket surface made of planes adjacent to each other at sharp edges. The light-guiding rod thereby captures the light substantially completely and completely mixes the different colors and brightnesses efficiently without scattering. The light output of the light-guiding rod lies at the focus of a convergent lens, which focuses the exiting light.

This invention relates to a practical superconducting conductor based upon biaxially textured high temperature superconducting coatings. In particular, methods for producing flexible and bend strain-resistant articles and articles produced in accordance therewith are described which provide improved current sharing, lower hysteretic losses under alternating current conditions, enhanced electrical and thermal stability and improved mechanical properties between otherwise isolated films in a coated high temperature superconducting (HTS) wire. Multilayered materials including operational material which is sensitive to bend strain can be constructed, in which the bend strain in the region in which such operational material is located is minimized. The invention also provides a means for splicing coated tape segments and for termination of coated tape stack ups or conductor elements. In one embodiment, a multi-layer high temperature superconductor is provided and includes first and second high temperature superconductor coated elements. Each element includes a substrate, at least one buffer deposited on the substrate, a high temperature superconductor layer, and a cap layer. The first and second high temperature superconductor coated elements are joined at the first and second cap layers.

A novel process of the production and processing of high quality, high Tc (Bi,Pb)SCCO superconductors starts with fabrication of a precursor article including selected intermediate phases with desired chemical and structural properties. The precursor fabrication includes introducing the reacted mixture having a dominant amount of the tetragonal BSCCO phase into a metal sheath, and sealing the reacted mixture within said sheath, heating the mixture at a second selected processing temperature in an inert atmosphere with a second selected oxygen partial pressure for a second selected time period, the second processing temperature and the second oxygen partial pressure being cooperatively selected to form a dominant amount of an orthorhombic BSCCO phase in the reacted mixture. The sealed sheath is deformed to form an elongated precursor article of a desired texture; and thereafter heated at a third selected processing temperature in an inert atmosphere with a third selected oxygen partial pressure for a third selected time period. The third processing temperature and third oxygen partial pressure are cooperatively selected to convert at least a portion of the orthorhombic BSCCO phase to the final superconducting BSCCO material.
