    摘要: A system and method for use with an optical communication beam of light is disclosed. The system allows the beam of light to operate at an adequate power level that provides a robust optical link while minimizing any safety risk to humans. Such a system includes multiple operating modes which control the power output of the beam of light. In the normal mode, the beam of light operates at a selected power level which provides a desired signal to noise ratio. Once a blocking occurs, the beam of light enters a power reduction mode to prevent harm to the blocking object. An acquisition and recovery mode is then employed to reestablish the blocked communication link.

    摘要: A system and method for analysis of minute quantities of contaminants in water. Liquid water is converted to water vapor and then excited into a plasma state with microwave radiation. Optical emissions from the plasma are spectrally analyzed to provide qualitative and/or quantitative analyses of the contaminants in the water. Preferred embodiments provide special techniques for generating the water vapor from a water stream; exciting the water vapor to a plasma state; varying and controlling the plasma energy; introducing samples into an existing plasma; collecting emissions from the plasma from a variety of angles; selecting the optical collection angles; protecting the analysis optics from the plasma; exhausting the spent plasma gases back into the water stream; and analyzing the results to yield concentrations of elements and molecules in the sample.

    摘要: Disclosed is a novel free space optical communication system comprising an optical amplifier configured to amplify an optical signal received from a fiber optic cable, a transmitter coupled to the optical amplifier and configured to transmit the amplified optical signal across a free space medium. The system also includes a receiver configured to receive the attenuated optical signal and a second optical amplifier coupled to the receiver configured to amplify the attenuated optical signal before transmitting the optical signal on to a fiber optic cable. The optical amplifier is preferably a Raman optical amplifier, but may also be any other optical amplifier, or combination of optical amplifiers, known in the art.
