Inventor: JINBO HIROKI
IPC: G01N21/59
Filed: 1998-10-06
Abstract: A method is provided for estimating durability of an optical member against pulsed
excimer laser beam irradiation. The method includes the steps of (a) irradiating a test sample for
the optical member with a pulsed excimer laser beam to induce changes in transparency of the
test sample with respect to the pulsed excimer laser beam, the irradiation being performed for
such a time period as to cover not only a linear region and a saturation region and (b) measuring
changes in the transparency of the test sample with respect to the pulsed excimer laser beam as a
function of the cumulative number of the excimer laser pulses that have irradiated the test sample
in step (a). The method further includes the step of (c) repeating steps (a) and (b) with a plurality
of different first predetermined energy densities of the pulsed excimer laser beam to derive a
correlation equation representing the changes in the transparency of the test sample in the linear
region and the saturated region in terms of the energy density of the pulsed excimer laser beam
and the cumulative number of the excimer laser pulses and (d) estimating the durability of the
optical member under actual usage conditions using the derived correlation equation.

Abstract: Techniques of service-rate controls in ATM switches are described, and apparatus for their implementation are devised. The techniques fall in two categories: frequency domain controls, and time-domain controls. The regulators control the service rate on a per-class basis or on a per-connection basis. Some class regulators operate at very high speeds of the order of several gigabits per second and cover a medium number of classes, 32 for example. Other regulators operate at high speeds of the order of several-hundred megabits per second, and cover a very large number of classes, e.g., 10,000. A compound regulator which combines both types of regulators is also described. The compound regulators extend the range of controllable classes considerably, covering some 200,000 classes. The main advantages of the regulators of the invention are simplicity, robustness, and high performance.
