摘要: A mirror device includes a multi-phase substrate and a single-phase layer. The multi-phase layer is formed of reaction-bonded silicon-carbide (RB-SiC, or Si/SiC) material. The single-phase layer is formed of elemental silicon. The single-phase layer is formed in-situ, that is, contemporaneously with, the formation of RB-SiC material. The single-phase layer is integrally bonded, as one piece, to silicon of the multi-phase substrate. Methods of making a multi-layer device, such as a mirror device, are also described. One such method includes providing a porous mass of silicon carbide and carbon, causing molten elemental silicon to infiltrate the porous mass to form RB-SiC material, simultaneously causing the silicon to flow into a cavity to form a single-phase layer of polishable silicon, integrally bonding silicon in the cavity to the RB-SiC material, and, if desired, polishing a surface of the single-phase layer.

摘要: An optical fiber filter has an ultra-wide tuning range and includes a two-dimensional mechanical rotating mirror, a collimating and beam expanding system, and two grating. An input fiber emits a multi-wavelength optical signal into the rotating mirror, which reflects the signal to the system to form collimated beams. In turn, the collimated beams are incident on the gratings that disperse the light of different wavelengths to different angles. Lights of different diffraction angles are input into an output fiber by adjusting the rotating mirror. The rotating mirror can be used to switch between gratings of different wavebands to tune optical wavelengths in an ultra-wide range.

摘要: A composite extractant-enhanced polymer resist comprising an extractant and a polymer resin for direct extraction of valuable metals such as rare earth metals, and more specifically, scandium, Born an acid-leaching slurry and/or acid-leaching solution in which ferric ions are not required to be reduced into ferrous ions. The extractant may be cationic, non-ionic, or anionic. More specifically, the extractant di(2-ethylhexyl)phosphoric acid may be used. The polymer resin may be non-functional or have functional groups of sulfonic acid, carboxylic acid, iminodiacetic acid, phosphoric acid, or amines. The composite extractant-enhanced polymer resin may be used for extraction of rare earth metals from acid-leaching slurries or solutions.

摘要: A VCSEL can include: a substrate that passes light therethrough; a phase matching layer over a top mirror stack; a first metal layer over the phase matching layer; and an end metal region over the first metal layer. The phase matching layer and first metal layer have a cooperative thickness to provide reflectivity of at least a predetermined reflectivity threshold for the emission wavelength. A method of making a VCSEL can include: providing a substrate; forming a first mirror stack above the substrate; forming an active region above the first mirror stack; and forming a reflective end above the active region, the reflective end having a phase matching layer and a first metal layer. The phase matching layer and first metal layer have a combined thickness for the reflective end to have a reflectivity of at least a predetermined reflectivity threshold for an emission wavelength of the VCSEL.

摘要: An amplifier operable with an electric drive signal can amplify signal light having a signal wavelength. A laser diode has an active section with input and output facets. The facets are in optical communication with the signal light and are configured to pass the signal light through the laser diode. The active section is configured to generate pump light in response to injection of the electrical drive signal into the active section. The pump light has a pump wavelength different from the signal wavelength. A doped fiber doped with an active dopant is in optical communication with the signal light and is in optical communication with at least a portion of the pump light from the laser diode. The pump wavelength of the pump light is configured to interact with the active dopant of the fiber and thereby amplify the signal light.

摘要: A free-space optical communication system has a conversion assembly, a fiber array, and a wavelength selective switch (WSS) assembly. The conversion assembly converts circular polarization states of incoming optical signals to linear polarization states and converts linear polarization states to circular polarization states for outgoing optical signals. The fiber array has polarization-maintaining (PM) optical fibers arranged in optical communication between the conversion assembly and the WSS assembly to preserve the linear polarization states of the optical signals. The WSS assembly has free-space optics, such as dispersion element and beam-steering element, with optical axes arranged relative to the PM optical fibers. The WSS assembly selectively switches WDM channels of the optical signals relative to the PM optical fibers. Fast and slow axes of the PM optical fibers are aligned to the optical axes of the free-space optics.

摘要: An optical element includes a transmissive layer arranged on a substrate and made up of discrete volumes of first and second optical media. The layer is between the substrate and another optical medium. The volumes are arranged so that, averaged over a wavelength’s distance of an incident optical signal, the effective reflectivities of the two surfaces of the transmissive layer and the effective double-pass phase delay through the transmissive layer are substantially constant across the transmissive layer. The reflectivities and phase delay result in net power reflectivity that differs from that of the substrate in direct contact with the other optical medium. The transmissive layer can be arranged as an anti-reflection layer.

摘要: An active cathode material is doped with silver to effectively improve the cathode's electrical conductivity. The active material may be sulfur, and the silver may be in the form of silver, silver sulfide, or both. If desired, the cathode material includes a matrix of conductive nano-particles which include elemental sulfur, silver and or silver sulfide. The present disclosure may be applicable to other battery materials as well, such as, for example, lithium iron phosphate.

摘要: A system that uses a scalable array of individually controllable laser beams that are generated by a fiber array system to process materials into an object. The adaptive control of individual beams may include beam power, focal spot width, centroid position, scanning orientation, amplitude and frequency, piston phase and polarization states of individual beams. Laser beam arrays may be arranged in a two dimensional cluster and configured to provide a pre-defined spatiotemporal laser power density distribution, or may be arranged linearly and configured to provide oscillating focal spots along a wide processing line. These systems may also have a set of material sensors that gather information on a material and environment immediately before, during, and immediately after processing, or a set of thermal management modules that pre-heat and post-heat material to control thermal gradient, or both.
