Abstract: Liquid crystals on a polymer (eg polyimide) surface are aligned by exposure to a low energy and neutral Argon ion beam. The energy of the incident ions were varied between 75 and 500 eV, the integrated current density from 100µA/cm 2  to 500mA/cm 2 , and the angle of incidence over which alignment was measured was between 10 and 80 degrees. The pretilt angle of the liquid crystals could be varied between 0 and 8 degrees, by controlling the processing conditions. Degradation of the polyimide, which leads to charge migration, can be avoided by operating at low accelerating voltages.

Abstract: Apparatus for therapeutic or cosmetic photo-treatment
comprises a flash lamp (13) and a lamp operating circuit. The
lamp is cooled by water in contact with the lamp which acts as
an infra-red filter to reduce skin burning. Light from the
lamp reaches the skin through a light guide (27) which has a
convex curved end to focus the light and to press away
haemoglobin in the target area or has a concave end to reduce
pressure on the skin depending on the desired treatment.
Relatively long and low power square shaped power pulses drive
the lamp to produce light output pulses adapted to the
relaxation time of the target structure to maximise the
heating of the target whilst minimising heating of the skin
surface. Target structures may be blood vessels or hair
follicles. Automatic detection of a glass filter (25) may be
provided.
