Title: Control of polarisation of vertical cavity surface emitting lasers
Inventor: LEWIS MEIRION FRANCIS
IPC: H01S5/183
Filed: 2000-07-10
Abstract: A vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL) comprising a one dimensional grating structure, such as a one dimensional corrugated metal mirror or a first order one dimensional diffraction grating configured to act as a waveguide, preferably located at an end surface of the VCSEL, for selectively reflecting more of a first polarisation of light back into the cavity of the VCSEL than a second orthogonal polarisation of light. Preferably the VCSEL comprises an upper Bragg mirror, a gain region, and a lower Bragg mirror, and the one dimensional grating structure is located on a top layer of the upper Bragg mirror and the top layer of the upper Bragg mirror has a thickness such that the reflected light of one polarisation constructively interferes with light of said one polarisation which is reflected by the upper Bragg mirror. The VCSEL will then lase at the polarisation which is more predominantly reflected by the gratin structure. Alternatively, the upper Bragg mirror has a thickness such that the reflected light of one polarisation destructively interferes with light of said one polarisation which is reflected by the upper Bragg mirror. The VCSEL will then lase at the polarisation which is not preferentially reflected by the grating structure.

Title: Blades with functional balance asymmetries for use with ultrasonic surgical instruments
Inventor: MESSERLY JEFFREY D
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 2000-09-08
Abstract: Disclosed is an ultrasonic surgical instrument that combines end-effector geometry to best affect the multiple functions of a shears-type configuration. The shape of the blade is characterized by a radiused cut offset by some distance to form a curved geometry. The cut creates a curved surface with multiple asymmetries causing multiple imbalances within the blade. Imbalance due to the curve of the instrument is corrected by a non-functional asymmetry proximal to the functional. asymmetry. Imbalance due to the asymmetric cross-section of the blade is corrected by the appropriate selection of the volume and location of material removed from a functional asymmetry. The shape of the blade in one embodiment of the present invention is characterized by two radiused cuts offset by some distance to form a curved and potentially tapered geometry. These two cuts create curved surfaces including a concave surface and a convex surface. The length of the radiused cuts affects, in part, the acoustic balancing of the transverse motion induced by the curved shape.
