    摘要: The present invention provides a method for adjusting a diffraction grating to changes in ambient conditions. The method includes writing a diffraction grating in the photorefractive waveguide with a laser, measuring spectral characteristics of the diffraction grating, and allowing the diffraction grating to self-write from interference between a forward beam and a Fresnel reflection, such that the diffraction grating is adjusted for changes in ambient conditions.

    摘要: An optical filter or valve comprises autonomously tunable liquid crystal filters in which photoactivated materials such as a photoconductive and photovoltaic substrates or films are used to produce or control application of an electric field to a liquid crystal material to tune the liquid crystal material to the wavelength of the incident light or radiation that is illuminating the filter thereby enabling the filter to automatically and autonomously filter the incident light or radiation.

    摘要: Disclosed is a heating unit which can comprise a tube, or pipe, having an aperture therein which can be configured to receive a heating element. In various embodiments, the heating element can comprise a resistive element which can be configured to generate heat when a voltage differential is applied thereto. In certain embodiments, the heating unit can further comprise a collar which is threadably engaged with the tube, wherein a flame path, or exhaust path, can be defined between threads on the pipe and threads on the collar, for example. In certain embodiments, the flame path can comprise a passageway defined between the circumference, or perimeter, of the tube and the collar. Such a flame path can be configured to allow pressurized gasses to safely escape from the tube along a predetermined path.
