摘要: An interconnect structure is disclosed for use in solid oxide electrolytic devices that use chrome-containing components, such as solid oxide fuel cells and solid oxide oxygen-generators. The invention provides a reliable and durable interconnect for both structural and electrical components of such devices. In general, the interconnect structure relies on a dual-layer, high-temperature seal which provides an effective diffusion barrier for both chrome and oxygen. As a result of the described interconnect, corrosion or loss in electrical conductivity in such solid oxide electrolytic devices is avoided. Also, a novel structure for such solid oxide electrolytic devices is disclosed, which provides an economical and high-integrity structure that utilizes the disclosed interconnect structure. A result of the present invention is that thin film solid oxide fuel cells and solid oxide oxygen generators may be fabricated using only metal alloys as bulk components.

摘要: A novel laser cavity structure is disclosed which pertains to laser resonator geometries possessing circular symmetry, such as in the case of disk or spherical lasers. The disclosed invention utilizes a very-high finesse Bragg reflector (VHF-BR) thin film reflectors of many layer pairs of very small refractive index difference, the VHF-BR deposited on a surface of revolution, thereby forming an optical cavity. These dielectric reflectors are disposed in such a way as to allow selection of preferred low order modes and suppression of parasitic modes while allowing a high cavity Q factor for preferred modes. The invention disclosed, in its preferred embodiments, is seen as particularly useful in applications requiring high efficiency in the production and coupling of coherent radiation. This is accomplished in a cavity design that is relatively compact and economical. Of particular novelty is the combination of the disclosed cavity design with polymer multilayers. The ability to deposit an unusually large number of polymer thin films without loss of specularity, while maintaining very low extinction, renders the disclosed polymer-based cavity particularly well-suited for higher mode discrimination, more rugged and light-weight cavities, as well as economical fabrication.

摘要: A system for the depositing of insulating, conducting, or semiconducting thin films is disclosed, in which the sputtering plasma is irradiated with a transverse, adjustable ultraviolet emission produced by an ultraviolet optical cavity containing a lamp discharge. The cavity irradiates the sputtering plasma volume with a sufficiently high optical flux to enact significant changes in the film produced. This effect is enabled by the device geometry, which, in the preferred embodiment, provides uniquely high efficiency and stability in the optical coupling between the lamp discharge and the sputtering plasma, resulting in the ability to significantly alter ionized and excited state populations within and directly above the sputtering plasma. The design also allows the operator to significantly control the volume and species involved in the optical interaction.
