Patent EP-0476910-A2 (EP)
Inventor: MAGILL PETER D
IPC: G01J9/00
Filed: 1991-09-11
Abstract: Accurate mode partition data from a laser (2) are collected simply and rapidly in accordance with the principles of the invention wherein the laser output is directed to a filter (6) which separates a central longitudinal mode from the side modes. The filter operates to present all side modes in a predetermined wavelength range simultaneously and continuously at the output of the filter. By subsequently comparing the intensity or power in the side modes delivered to the filter output with a predetermined threshold, it is possible to determine the frequency of occurrence and magnitude of mode partition events for side modes in the predetermined wavelength range. 
     In one exemplary embodiment, the filter is realized by combination of a Fabry-Perot etalon (7,8), whose longitudinal axis is angled with respect to the longitudinal axis (propagation axis) of the laser output beam directed onto the filter, together with an external reflector (9) which is parallel to the Fabry-Perot etalon to permit multi-passing of the beam between the Fabry-Perot etalon and the reflector. The beam is reflected by the Fabry-Perot etalon so that after two or more passes within the filter only the side modes are output by the filter. In this arrangement, the filter acts as a notch filter having a wide passband and having an output for the side modes which is separate from an output for the main mode.

Abstract: A fiber identifer for detecting the presence or absence of an active data signal or a test signal in an optical fiber. The instrument includes a piston which positions a portion of the fiber under test against an optical detector, the piston being located within a housing, and the housing being attached to a drive rod. The rod is responsive to a levered actuation mechanism, but a damper controls the movement rate of the rod, and hence the piston, to slowly bend the fiber, minimizing disruption of any signal flowing through the fiber and preventing undue mechanical stress which could damage the fiber. A precision spring within the housing is used to limit the pressure applied by the piston against the optical fiber. The housing also includes a novel arrangement of electrical contacts to sense the position of the piston and, indirectly, the position of the rod.

Abstract: A diamond or cubic boron nitride cutting tool (10) has at least a pair of grooves (18) in the body of the tool. The grooves (18) contain polycrystalline diamond or cubic boron nitride prior to formation of concave flutes (14) next to the grooves (18).

Abstract: Aluminum-containing layers are grown by molecular beam processes using as an arsenic precursor phenylarsine (PhAs). Because PhAs is more reactive than arsine and less reactive than arsenic, it decomposes selectively on III-V surfaces but not on mask materials. Thus in contrast to conventional processes, growth using PhAs permits selective growth on unmasked gallium arsenide surfaces but inhibits growth on typical mask materials such as silicon nitride.

Abstract: A method for patterning a conductive metal oxide film on a substrate surface by means of an oxygen plasma etching process. In one embodiment, a substrate (10) is provided having a ruthenium oxide layer (14) overlying a dielectric layer (12). The substrate is placed on an electrode (24) positioned in a vacuum chamber (20) and the vacuum chamber is evacuated to a low pressure. Oxygen gas is introduced to the vacuum chamber and RF power is applied to form an oxygen plasma within the vacuum chamber. The oxygen plasma preferentially etches the ruthenium oxide layer (14) and does not etch the underlying dielectric layer (12). The oxygen plasma etching process can be used to form high resolution ruthenium oxide features during semiconductor device fabrication of ferroelectric capacitors (60) and other electronic components.

Abstract: The present invention provides a trajectory tracking control circuit for enabling the object of control to track any desired trajectory at high precision and high speed within the limits of the maximum permissible acceleration and the maximum permissible velocity. A velocity reference generator (2) generates velocity references Vi( 1 ) for the drive axes of the object of control on the basis of desired trajectory data and velocity reference data provided from an input unit (1). Acceleration detectors (3-i) (i = 1, 2, 3, ..., n), one of which is provided for each drive axis, detect accelerations from the velocity references and, if they exceed the permissible limit of acceleration or if the velocity references exceed that of velocity, comparators (4-i) generate acceleration excess signals or velocity excess signals, whichever are applicable. In response to this, multi-axial coordinators (5-i) determine, on the basis of the information of the acceleration excess signal and the velocity excess signal of each drive axis, a time-scale variation which enables every drive axis to satisfy the permissible limit of acceleration and that of velocity. Velocity reference converters (41) vary the velocity references in the time direction, and convert them into velocity signals which the drive motors can track.

Abstract: A method for operating a thermal ink jet printer including a printhead (19) having ink firing heater resistors (17) responsive to pulses provided to the printhead. Warming voltage pulses are applied to the printhead to warm the printhead to a temperature that is at least as high as a temperature that would be produced pursuant to ink firing pulses of a predetermined voltage, a predetermined pulse width, and a predetermined pulse frequency. A continuous series of ink firing pulses are then applied to the printhead, starting with a pulse energy substantially equal to the predetermined reference pulse energy and a pulse frequency equal to the predetermined pulse frequency, and then incrementally decreasing the pulse energy of the ink firing pulses. The temperature of the printhead is repeatedly sampled while the ink firing pulses are applied to the ink firing resistors to produce a set of temperature samples respectively associated with the decreasing pulse energies. A thermal turn on energy is determined from the temperature samples, and the printhead is operated at a pulse energy that is greater than the thermal turn on energy and in a range that provides a desired print quality while avoiding premature failure of the heater resistors.
