Abstract: A fiber optical attenuator utilizing the cut-off phenomenon for single mode propagation of an optical wave down a single mode fiber, comprising an element such as a pixelated liquid crystal element, capable of spatially changing the phase across the cross section of an input optical signal. Such a spatial phase change is equivalent to a change in the mode structure of the propagating wave. The signal propagating in the single mode output fiber is attenuated in accordance with the extent to which higher order modes are mixed into the low order mode originally present. When the mode is completely transformed to higher order modes, the wave is effectively completely blocked from entering the output single-mode fiber, and the attenuation is high. The level of attenuation is determined by the fraction of the wave which is converted to modes other than the lowest order mode, and is thus controllable by the voltage applied to the pixels of the liquid crystal element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for plating the surface of polymer materials with a metal film by treating the surface of polymer materials with cold plasma method to introduce hydrophilic functional groups and then plating the surface of polymer materials with a metal film according to the electroless plating method. The cold plasma treatment reduces the contact angle of the surface of polymer materials to water by 5 to 60°. The surface of polymer materials can be more efficiently plated with the metal film by the additional step of either immersing the polymer material into an organic solvent for 0.1 to 5 minutes or washing the polymer material with ultrasonic washing machine after introducing the hydrophilic functional groups by treatment with cold plasma. The plating method according to the present invention is very stable and readily applicable and can endow new properties which are not possessed by the polymer material itself, including improved appearance quality, improved mechanical properties, improved heat resistance and durability, decrease of absorptivity, rendering the conductivity of heat and electric current, soldering ability and electromagnetic wave shielding effect, etc., to the polymer material. The polymer materials treated by the method according to the present invention have improved performance and can be used in various industrial fields for shielding electromagnetic wave generated from the information processing equipments, preparing printed circuit boards, various forms of electrodes, and antistatic boards and the like.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for highly parallel production of complex molecule libraries on the surface of a substrate with the aid of regeneratable matrix dies. According to prior art, the production of molecule libraries on a support is expensive, and requires a lot of time and a large amount of apparatus. By using regeneratable matrix dies it is possible to simplify and accelerate the production of molecule libraries, especially DNA and protein libraries, in a significant manner. The matrix-10 die is made of an elastic material such as polydimethylsiloxane and includes locally-bound matrix molecules on the surface thereof, said molecules being used as a model for the synthesis of copy molecules. The copy molecules are transferred to the target surface by means of a contact printing method. The matrix molecules remain on the die for further synthesis and print cycles which can repeated several times. The inventive method is suitable for copying and reproducing differently produced molecule arrays.
