Title: Method for measuring the concentration of carbon dioxide dissolved in sea water, and device therefor
Inventor: MERLIVAT LILIANE
IPC: G01N33/18
Filed: 1993-03-31
Abstract: A method and a device for measuring the dissolved CO2? content of sea water, wherein pH is measured by colorimetry on a solution with a CO2? concentration matching that of sea water. The optical absorbance of the solution is measured at a wavelength ($g(l)M) which is characteristic of a peak absorption value of the basic form of the colouring agent; a complementary measurement is performed at a wavelength ($g(l)B) at which the colouring agent is not absorbent; and a complementary absorbance measurement is performed at a wavelength ($g(l)I) near the isobestic point of the colouring agent. The device comprises a measurement cell (3) containing the coloured indicator solution and means (26, 27a, 27b, 27c) for successively filtering the optical beam as it leaves the cell (3) at the various wavelengths required to perform said measurements.

Title: Acoustic wave devices for controlling high frequency signals.
Inventor: CHU DAVID KO-TAI
IPC: H03H9/145
Filed: 1993-07-23
Abstract: Devices are disclosed for controlling high frequency signals such as optic or electric signals by the generation of acoustic waves. The devices use certain bulk or surface-modified crystalline substrates which have a surface with a receiving area and an input (16) interdigital transducer deposited on the signal receiving area of the substrate surface which is suitable for connection to a source or signal (12) and for inverse piezoelectrically generating acoustic waves in the crystalline substrate (16). The crystalline substrates are of a material having a piezoelectric-elastic dielectric matrix capable of the generation of acoustic waves and for bulk substrates, are of MTiOXO4 (where M is K, Rb, T1, and/or NH4 and X is P and/or As) having mm2 symmetry. The receiving area of the surface-modified crystal substrates has alternating sections of crystalline material which are aligned and have a ferroelectric domain structure opposite to that of adjacent sections, and IDT for said substrates is in contact with said alternating sections.

Abstract: The present invention is the formation of solid polymer layers under vacuum. More specifically, the present invention is the use of "standard" polymer layer-making equipment that is generally used in an atmospheric environment in a vacuum, and degassing the monomer material prior to injection into the vacuum. Additional layers of polymer or metal or oxide may be vacuum deposited onto solid polymer layers. Formation of polymer layers under a vacuum improves material and surface characteristics, and subsequent quality of bonding to additional layers. Further advantages include use of less to no photoinitiator for curing, faster curing, fewer impurities in the polymer electrolyte, as well as improvement in material properties including no trapped gas resulting in greater density, and reduced monomer wetting angle that facilitates spreading of the monomer and provides a smoother finished surface.

Inventor: DIGIOVANNI DAVID JOHN
IPC: H01S3/094
Filed: 1994-09-21
Abstract: High output power, high gain, and low noise are achieved in a two-stage optical amplifier, suitable for use as a repeater for a long haul lightwave communication system, in accordance with the principles of the invention, by employing a first amplifying stage having a signal gain sufficiently small to prevent self-saturation by amplified stimulated emission (ASE) that uses counter-propagating pump light to cause maximum inversion of the first stage amplifying medium. In an illustrative embodiment of the invention, EDFAs are used in each of two amplifying stages. The length of the EDFA in the first stage is short enough to ensure nearly complete inversion of the EDFA from pump light that counter-propagates with the signal. The counter-propagating pump light allows the invention to advantageously avoid the significant noise figure penalty from the input loss associated with co-propagating pump light. And, noise figure is improved because complete inversion is achieved throughout the EDFA, and, at the input where the noise figure is most sensitive to inversion. The short length also eliminates self-saturation of the EDFA from ASE which degrades the noise figure. However, the length, and hence the gain, of the EDFA in the first stage is long enough to provide sufficient gain so that the noise figure of the two-stage amplifier, as a whole, is determined primarily by that of the first stage. A second EDFA in the second stage of the amplifier may then be configured using co-propagating or counter-propagating pump light for additional signal amplification to provide the required output power and gain for long haul lightwave systems. Other aspects of illustrative embodiments of the invention include the use of passive optical elements including filters, isolators, and attenuators.
