Abstract: Abrasive jet stream polishing, wherein an abrasive is suspended in a flowable jet medium and projected at high velocity and pressure at a workpiece is provide, where the jet is projected at the surface to be polished at an oblique angle. The method is substantially improved by forming the medium of a polymer having reformable sacrificial chemical bonds which are preferentially broken under high shear conditions. Projecting the medium and suspended abrasive breaks the reformable sacrificial chemical bonds while polishing. The chemical bonds will reform, permitting recycling of the medium and abrasive for reuse in the method. The jet is effective at relatively low pressures of about 5 to about 80 MPa.

Abstract: WDB multi-channel systems for large distances having a number of intensifiers cause an increase in intensification, which can lead to considerable differences in intensity, even given modest wavelength dependence This makes spectral levelling necessary. In accordance with the invention, the light from the fiber is first split spectrally into channels, and, thus locally separated, projected onto the surface of an optic limiter based on an OASLM (optical addressed, spatial light modulator), in which the intensive channels are overproportionally attenuated The tension dependence of liquid crystal cells, derived from exposure, is used to level the WDM channels Lastly, the channels are again imaged onto a point and coupled into another fiber. The invention is used in WDM multi-channel systems for large distances with a number of intensifiers
