Patent EP-1075096-A2 (EP)
Inventor: BANERJEE SONALI
IPC: H04B10/17
Filed: 2000-06-06
Abstract: Distortion and crosstalk that occurs when operating optical amplifiers in saturation is
substantially reduced by passively compensating for gain variations caused by changes in input
power to the optical amplifiers. More specifically, in an optical communication system having one
or more optical amplifiers, a "reservoir" optical channel is supplied in addition to the other traffic-carrying
optical channels. The wavelength of the reservoir channel is selected such that the power
level of the reservoir channel varies in response to changes in power levels of the traffic-carrying
channels. Because gain variations are typically highest around the gain peak region in an optical
amplifier's gain bandwidth, the reservoir channel in one exemplary embodiment is assigned a
wavelength around the gain peak region. As such, the reservoir channel can absorb or otherwise
receive most of the distortion and crosstalk while the traffic-carrying channels located away from
the gain peak region will experience less distortion and crosstalk. Importantly, this passive
compensation scheme can be used in an amplified system which is operating in the presence of
nonlinear distortions caused by gain variations, such as inter-modal distortion and saturation
induced crosstalk.

Abstract: A method of removing contaminants from a surface in a silicon substrate
processing chamber. The method includes coating the surface which has been exposed to
contaminants including metal particles with a material preferably including silicon.
During coating, contaminants are collected by the material being applied. The method
further includes removing the material and any contaminants that have been collected by
the material during coating. The method can be performed after the surface has been
exposed to contaminants from ambient air or moisture during cleaning or preventive
maintenance procedures, for example. Also, the method is preferably performed before
any baking procedures or before the chamber is heated to drive out any moisture that has
been introduced to the chamber.

Abstract: A method is described for determining the presence of a volatile component in a test sample. The method involves use of two separate vessels, one of which is capable of being placed wholly within the other vessel. The test sample is placed in the larger vessel, and an indicator solution is placed in the smaller, inner vessel. Then a gas-tight closure is placed on the top of the outer, larger vessel. The assembly is heated to an elevated temperature, whereby the volatile target analyte which is released from the test sample transfers to the inner vessel and is absorbed by the indicator solution. The indicator solution can be analyzed by means of a colorimeter, spectrophotometer, etc.
