Abstract: The present invention relates generally to broadband, reflective circular polarizers and, more particularly, to single layer super broadband, reflective circular polarizers. The polarizers of the present invention are made from a film of material, like a polymer having a cholesteric order, in which a second liquid crystal material, like a nematic liquid crystal, is distributed in a non-linear fashion across the thickness of the film in a plurality of liquid crystal-rich and liquid crystal-depleted sites in the polymer. The resulting polarizers have band passes approaching 2000 nm and reflect circularly polarized light which is either left-handed or right-handed depending on the final spiral structure of the materials utilized. The material of the present invention is fabricated by mixing commercially available polymers having a cholesteric order, a second liquid crystal material and a photoinitiator at a temperature which maintains the mixture in a liquid state. The polymer and the liquid crystal are present in a ratio by weight of 1:2, for example, and the photoinitiator is present in an amount of 0.6% by weight, for example, in the mixture. The heated mixture is then subjected to actinic radiation for a time and at an intensity sufficient to polymerize the polymer or the liquid crystal material or both. Under all polymerizing conditions the segregation rate of the liquid crystal material has to be greater than the polymerization rate of the material being polymerized. The liquid crystal segregates and diffuses, during polymerization, to sites of enlarged pitch in the polymer material from sites of shrunken pitch in the polymer material. Because the actinic light has an exponential intensity distribution due to light attenuation by, for example, light absorption, polymerization occurs in a non-linear fashion resulting in a non-linear distribution of the polymer and the liquid crystal material across the film.

Abstract: An absolute radiation thermometer capable of evaluating the absolute value of infrared radiation power emitted from a target (1) and received by a radiation sensor by means of electrical calibration, and calculating the temperature of the target basing on the responsive signal generated in the radiation sensor (10, 100A, 100B, 100C, 100D, 100E, 100F, 100G). To solve "Microphonic" problem, two identical sensors connected in parallel with the polarized orientations of their pyroelectric layers being in opposite directions so as to cancel the piezoelectric signals generated in the two sensors are used. Further, by using a floating power supply, which is isolated from the system power supply of the thermometer, for performing electrical heating, power supply noise can be greatly reduced.

Abstract: A metal vapor 12 passing through a guide duct 13 from a vapor source 10 to a steel strip 1 is sampled through a takeoff pipe 14 to a measuring chamber 15. The metal vapor is irradiated with a measuring beam 20 in the chamber 15, to detect the absorbance of luminous energy by the metal vapor. The detected value of absorbance is used for the quantitative calculation of the metal vapor 12 passing through the guide duct 13, and the opening ratio of a shutter 17provided in the guide duct 13 is adjusted on the basis of the calculation result so as to control the flow amount of the metal vapor 12 passing through the guide duct 13. In the case where a large amount of the metal vapor 12 passes through the guide duct 13, the amount of the metal vapor 12 reaching the measuring beam 20 is reduced by partially discharging the metal vapor 12 from the measuring chamber 15. Since the deposition amount of a plating metal is directly controlled in response to the amount of the metal vapor12 passing through the guide duct 13, the amount of a deposited plating layer is controlled with high accuracy and with a quick response time in a continuous vapor deposition coating line.
