    摘要: A moiré interferometer has an illumination system and an imaging system that share a common focusing optic, which preferably takes the form of a concave mirror. Within the illumination system, the common focusing optic collimates light en route to a test surface. Within the imaging system, the common focusing optic telecentrically images a grating pattern appearing on the test surface onto a fringe pattern detector.

    摘要: An apparatus for providing a modulated pulsed radiation beam (20) has a radiation source (16) for providing a pulsed radiation beam (10) at a constant pulse repetition frequency and a number of beam intensity modulators (18a-18e). A beam-deflecting element (12) in the path of the pulsed radiation beam and rotatable about an axis redirects the pulsed radiation beam cyclically towards each of the plurality of beam intensity modulators in turn. A beam-recombining element rotatable about the axis in synchronization with the beam-deflecting element combines modulated light, from each of the beam intensity modulators in order to form the modulated pulsed radiation beam at the constant pulse repetition frequency. At least one beam-pointing correction apparatus optically conjugates the beam-deflecting element and the beam recombining element at least one rotational position about the axis.

    摘要: A light pulse conditioning apparatus has at least first and second curved reflective surfaces that share a common focus and a light-redirecting element disposed between the first and second curved reflective surfaces to redirect at least a portion of an incident light beam toward the second curved reflective surface as a delayed beam portion. A beam-shifting compensating element is disposed between the first curved reflective surface and the light-redirecting element and in the path of the delayed beam portion, for shifting the optical path of the delayed beam portion as it returns toward the light-redirecting element.

    摘要: A grazing incidence interferometer includes an extended light source for limiting spatial coherence of reference and test beams. A test plate is oriented at a grazing incidence to the test beam so that a first portion of the test beam is reflected from the front surface of the test plate, a second portion of the test beam is reflected from the back surface of the test plate, and the two test beam portions are sheared with respect to each other. The spatial coherence of the test beam is related to the lateral shear between the first and second test beam portions to significantly reduce contrast of an interference fringe pattern between the front and back surfaces of the test plate. Also, the reference beam is realigned with just one of the two test beam portions to favor the formation of an interference pattern between the reference surface and one of the front and back surfaces of the test plate over the formation of an interference pattern between the reference surface and the other of the front and back surfaces of the test plate.

    摘要: Systems and methods for performing photoreactions in a photoreactive material using scattered actinic light from at least one light-diffusing optical fiber are disclosed. The systems and methods include disposing a light-diffusing optical fiber relative to the photoreactive material. The light-diffusing optical fiber has a glass core, a surrounding cladding, and nano-sized structures situated either within the glass core or at the core-cladding boundary. The nano-sized structures are configured to scatter guided actinic light that travels in the light-diffusing optical fiber from an actinic light source. The scattered actinic light is provided throughout the photoreactive material and causes a photoreaction throughout the photoreactive material.
