20090296746 | FIBER LASER COIL FORM AND RELATED MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUES - A fiber laser thermal coil form and related manufacturing techniques that are substantially suitable for automation. The fiber laser thermal coil form including a thermally conductive substrate to support a fiber placed thereon and to dissipate a heat of the fiber, and a fiber guide groove defined in a surface of the substrate to guide the fiber and dimensioned to partially enclose the fiber and to enhance a thermal contact of the fiber and the substrate. | 12-03-2009 |
20090219128 | METHOD FOR FABRICATING LATERAL-MOVING MICROMACHINED THERMAL BIMORPH - A method of making a Lateral-Moving Micromachined Thermal Bimorph which provides the capability of achieving in-plane thermally-induced motion on a microchip, as opposed to the much more common out-of-plane, or vertical, motion seen in many devices. The present invention employs a novel fabrication process to allow the fabrication of a lateral bimorph in a fundamentally planar set of processes. In addition, the invention incorporates special design features that allow the bimorph to maintain material interfaces. | 09-03-2009 |
20080198388 | MINIATURE FOURIER TRANSFORM SPECTROPHOTOMETER - The Miniature Fourier Transform Spectrophotometer provides the capability, in a miniaturized device, of determining the light absorption/transmission spectra of a collected sample of gas or liquid though Fourier Transform spectroscopy techniques. The device takes an optical input from an optical fiber, manipulates that light through miniature optical components, and launches it into a miniaturized Michelson interferometer with a scanning mirror that acquires the interferogram of the optical input. The interferogram can be processed to retrieve the spectrum of the input light. A novel multi-stepped micro-mirror operates as the optical path length modulator in the miniaturized interferometer. A unique monolithic beamsplitter/mirror combination provides for accurate alignment of the components and greatly simplifies product integration. The device is designed to cover various optical spectra of interest. During operation, the precision and accuracy of the microfabricated components in the device allow operation and resolution even at extremely low wavelengths. In addition, the miniaturized nature of the device allows it to be used in new and extremely space-constrained applications. | 08-21-2008 |
