Abstract: The invention relates to investment casting shell molds and their method of manufacture. The method entails mixing fiber such as ceramic refractory fiber and organic fiber with ceramic filler to form a dry blend. The dry blend is mixed with a binder sol such as colloidal silica sol to form slurry. An expendable preform is dipped into the slurry, stuccoed and dried. This step is repeated until a ceramic shell of a desired thickness is formed over the expendable preform. The expendable preform then is removed, and the green ceramic shell is fired. Molten metal then may be poured into the shell to form a metal casting.

Abstract: An asymmetric distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) suitable for use in vertical cavity surface emitting lasers. The asymmetric DBR is comprised of stacked material layers having different indexes of refraction that are joined using asymmetrical transition regions in which the transition steps within a transition region have different material compositions, different doping levels, and different layer thicknesses. Adjacent transition regions have different transition steps. Thinner transition regions are relatively highly doped and are located where the optical standing wave within the DBR has a low field strength. Thicker transition regions are relatively lightly doped and are located where the optical standing wave has a relatively high field strength. Beneficially, in the AlXGa(1-X)As material system the stacked material layers are alternating layers of AlAs and GaAs. Other material systems will use other alternating layers.
