Abstract:
An apparatus for generating filtered light may include a broadband illumination source configured to generate broadband illumination and a total internal reflection (TIR) filter formed from a material at least partially transparent to the broadband illumination. The TIR filter may include one or more input faces oriented to receive the broadband illumination. The TIR filter may further be oriented to reflect wavelengths of the broadband illumination beam below a selected cutoff wavelength on one or more filtering faces as filtered broadband illumination and provide the filtered broadband illumination beam through one or more output faces. The cutoff wavelength may further be selected based on total internal reflection on the one or more faces.
Abstract:
An electrode of an inductive output tube (IOT) is provided with channels for guiding cooling fluid. In one aspect of the invention, the channels are in a confronting relationship with a jacket surrounding the electrode and spaced from the electrode so as to define an interior region. Cooling fluid such as oil is circulated in the channels in fluid communication with the interior region, providing an escape mechanism for trapped bubbles in order to prevent localized heating of the electrode. In another aspect of the invention, the channels form multiple intersecting helical patterns of different pitches, with the steeper-pitched channels providing a more direct escape route for the bubbles.
Abstract:
A plurality of a U-shaped heat radiation plates are provided on a heat radiating tube. These U-shaped plates have different sizes and elongated in the same direction so as to cross an axis of the tube. The emissive heat radiator may also includes at least one radiating plate 2 substantially perpendicular to each axis of the U-shaped plates. A concave surface of the U-shaped plate is subjected to a radiation surface processing, and a convex surface thereof is subjected to a reflection surface processing.
Abstract:
A collector for a travelling-wave tube includes a collector core and a fin structure surrounding the core and having a plurality of fins for heat radiation. An oxide film having a thickness of greater than 50 .mu.m inclusive is formed on the outer periphery of the fin structure by anodization and has the maximum surface roughness of 12 .mu.m inclusive. When the 50 .mu.m or thicker oxide film is sealed or when a 45 .mu.m or thicker oxide film is formed and sealed, the oxide film is provided with the maximum surface roughness of greater than 12 .mu.m inclusive. The collector with any one of such structures achieves an emissivity of 0.90 or above and can efficiently radiate heat generated by the tube in the space.

A satellite is formed with a signal translation and amplification system which includes at least one communication path. Each communication path includes a plurality of radiation-cooled TWTs powered by a single EPC. Also included in the communication path is a high efficiency radiation panel capable of transmitting heat generated by said TWTs and EPC into space; as well as a radiating collector which is directly applied to each TWT, and is capable of transmitting heat generated by said TWT into space.
Abstract:
Cooling apparatus of a magnetron having a plurality of embossed cooling fins for radiating high temperature heat generated by an anode of the magnetron. Each of the cooling fins includes an anode support boss for tightly receiving and supporting the anode, a pair of erected walls being provided at both sides of the cooling fin, and a plurality of embossments for causing cooling airflow to be forced toward the rear surface of the anode and providing a cooling passage. These embossments are provided between the anode and the erected walls in order to symmetrical to each other with respect to the cooling airflow. The embossments comprise a plurality of protruded embossments provided at a side of the cooling fin and a plurality of depressed embossments provided at the other side of the cooling fin. The protruded and depressed embossments have an interval which is gradually shortened such that it is minimized at the rear of the anode. In accordance with this invention, the cooling air is forced toward the rear surface of the anode and, as a result, the separation region of the rear surface of the anode is remarkably reduced. The friction between the cooling air and the cooling fins is increased due to the embossments, thereby improving the cooling effect of the magnetron.

Disclosed is a conduction cooling type multistage collector for use in an electron beam tube in which a plurality of collector electrodes are electrically insulated with insulators, wherein one collector electrode is brazed on the inner surface of one ring-shaped insulator and a metal cylinder is brazed on the end portion of the insulator, whereby a vacuum envelope is formed. The collector has high electric insulation properties and excellent radiation effect.
Abstract:
In a traveling wave tube, an electron beam collector and an electrically insulating cylinder having good thermal conductivity and dielectric strength are arranged in a bore of a cooling housing to improve heat elimination from the electron beam collector. The cylinder is deformable in a radial direction, is of an elastic material, and is dimensioned so that it fixes the electron beam collector in the bore of the housing with a tight fit.
Abstract:
To increase production of magnetrons, a spiral fin is wound on a magnetron body as soon as it is produced, and a leading end and a trailing end of the fin are fixed to the magnetron body. This increases the number of turns of the fin wound on the magnetron body and improves the bond strength with which the fin is bonded to the magnetron body to thereby increase the effect achieved by the fin in dissipating heat and avoiding a decline in the performance characteristics of the magnetron.
Abstract:
In a power electronic tube the outer surface of the collector is in the shape of a cylinder and has equidistant grooves formed in cross-sections and along the generatrices of this cylinder, which gives them flexibility and allows assembly with an insulating sleeve.
