Abstract: In the method for the manufacture of a coating (10) having a columnar structure, preferably a dense structure, a coating material in the form of primary corpuscles (1) is injected with a carrier gas into a thermal process beam. The coating material is transformed in the process beam into a vapour phase and is deposited as condensate in the form of a columnar coating on a substrate (100). The primary corpuscles are liquid droplets or they are formed in each case by an agglomerate of particles (2) which are held together by cohesive forces of a connecting medium or by adhesive forces. The liquid droplets include a chemical precursor of the coating material in the form of a salt solution and are transformed by thermal action in the process beam into secondary corpuscles containing particles (2). The primary or secondary corpuscles are disintegrated in the process beam by mechanical and thermal interaction. In this connection, the particles are dispersed so that coating material is vaporised fully or partly on the individual particles by thermal action.

Abstract: A system (100) for transmitting digital information includes a transmitting apparatus (102) for generating an optical signal bearing digital information, a dispersive optical channel (104), and a receiving apparatus (110) for receiving the optical signal. The dispersive optical channel (104) is disposed to convey the optical signal from the transmitting apparatus (102) to the receiving apparatus (110). The transmitting apparatus includes an encoder (114) for encoding digital information into a series of blocks, each including a plurality of data symbols corresponding with one or more bits of digital information. A signal generator (118) generates a time-varying signal corresponding with each of said blocks. An optical transmitter (136) is arranged to apply the time-varying signal to an optical source (138) to produce an optical signal which includes an optical carrier and substantially only a single information bearing optical sideband in an optical frequency domain, the sideband corresponding with the time-varying signal. The receiving apparatus (110) includes an optical detector (146) for detecting the optical signal to produce a corresponding received time-varying electrical signal. The receiver further includes means (166) for generating a series of received data blocks from the time-varying electrical signal. An equaliser (168) performs an equalisation of received data symbols included in each data block to mitigate the effect of dispersion of the optical channel, thereby enabling the transmitted data symbols to be recovered.
