Abstract: A method for manufacturing a plastic optical device on a substrate is disclosed. A preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises the steps of: providing a mold (300) with mold cavities, wherein the structure of the mold cavities is the reverse of the desired structure of the plastic optical structure; filling a shape material (110) in the mold cavities of the mold; joining the shape material with the substrate (200); hardening the shaping material; and removing the mold to obtain the plastic optical device. In addition, a step of generating a force on the substrate by a pressure generator, for example a roller (500), can be performed in order to fill the mold cavities with the shaping material and remove the bubbles in the shaping material. The method of the present invention is useful in the formation of various plastic optical devices, such as a concentric saw-toothed fresnel lens, a lenticular lens, a cylindrical lens, a spherical lens, an asphere lens, and a pyramidal lens, and can be applied to, for example, a rear TV or the backlight plate of a LCD display.

Abstract: A hub having a bore, in accordance with the present invention, is spun-roll formed of a portion of an annular sheet metal disc. The hub is formed by radially displacing a portion of the annular sheet disc outward from the bore. The so formed hub that is integral to the annular sheet metal disc forms a web having a thickness equivalent to or not less than a thickness of the annular sheet metal disc before formation of the hub. The web may be used to spun-roll form a rim having a belt receiving portion and as such a one-piece spun roll formed pulley. The web may also be used to interconnect to a rim having a belt receiving portion as a separate piece from the hub and web.During the spinning process, a shaping roller is pressed against a bore of an annular sheet metal disc which is being rotated simultaneously. The shaping roller is moved progressively, radially outward, with or without axial oscillation, against the bore of the rotating disc which displaces a portion of metal in the form of an axially extending collar. The shaping roller include various surface configurations for forming any number of various hub shapes. In addition, the spinning process may include the use of more than one shaping roller acting on the annular sheet metal disc at different times.

Abstract: A pulsed solid-state thin-disk laser comprises an optical resonator and a solid-state laser gain medium placed inside the optical resonator. The laser gain medium is in the shape of a thin plate or layer with two end faces, the extension of the end faces being greater than a thickness of said plate or layer measured in a direction perpendicular to one of the end faces. One of the end faces comprises a cooling surface, via which the laser gain medium is cooled. A pumping source is provided for exciting the laser gain medium to emit electromagnetic radiation. The thin-disk laser further comprises means for passive mode locking placed inside the optical resonator. The mode-locking means are preferably a semiconductor saturable absorber mirror (SESAM). The laser offers a high average power, a good beam quality, short pulses and a high efficiency. Problems such as thermal lensing, Q-switching instabilities and damages of the mode-locking means are avoided. Moreover, the output power of the laser is scalable, i.e., may be increased without increasing the above-mentioned problems.
