    摘要: A method and apparatus for the removal of coatings from surfaces utilizing UV energy. Preferably, the use of a laser-guided gas-embedded pinchlamp is utilized to remove paint coatings from aircraft surfaces. In a preferred form, the present invention provides a gas-embedded laser-guided pinchlamp device that, in operation, reduces toxic waste bi-products and can remove surface paint, in particular aircraft surface paint, or other coatings at a higher efficiency than all other alternative methods implemented or investigated to date. The present invention may preferably comprise eight distinct support systems; a plasma pinchlamp chamber, a power supply, a laser system, a gas supply system and coolant system, an optical reflector, a debris collection system for containing and catching toxic effluvients, an encasement device to contain effluvium in conjunction with the collection system, and a pinchlamp positioning system. It should be noted that the present invention need not incorporate all these systems in an operable embodiment. A gas-embedded laser-guided pinchlamp device is generally described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,450,568 to Asmus which patent and description of a pinchlamp device are incorporated herein by reference as if fully described herein.

    摘要: A preconditioning beam is used to excite gas particles preferentially along a channel between two electrodes in a laser chamber. The preconditioning beam may be an electron beam or a laser beam. An electrical discharge between the electrodes is conducted along the channel by the excited gas particles to form a gas embedded plasma pinch. Depending on the profile of the discharge, the pinch may be stable or collapsing. The pinch emits vacuum ultraviolet radiation which photodissociates molecules of the photolytic laser medium confined by the chamber. The dissociation creates a population inversion, initiating lasing activity. A resonator system reflects the developing laser pulse back and forth through the chamber to stimulate further emissions and facilitate pulse amplification. The developed pulse is transmitted by appropriate means.

    摘要: The inventive system treating the surface of a material by utilizing high intensity ultraviolet light for glazing, cleaning and other such purposes. The system includes a high intensity ultraviolet light is generated by a liquid jet plasma pinch unit, and is repetitively pulsed to raise the surface temperature of the material rapidly to a predetermined high temperature. In one form of the invention, the system is mounted either on a vehicle, or on an overhead structure for facilitating the movement of the pinch unit to the surface to be treated. In another form of the invention, the pinch unit includes a light emitting assembly which can be lowered into an opening in a workpiece to be treated.

    摘要: A plasma pinch having an inner/outer coaxial tube arrangement, which nested tube arrangement yields a higher-performance pinchlamp than is capable with a single-tube configuration. Further, each tube contains a separate gas, the inner tube filled with Argon, and the outer tube filled with Helium. The inner/outer coaxial tube arrangement of the present invention facilitates the use of an inner tube to contain a volume of Argon gas as the working gas. The outer tube is coaxial with the inner tube, surrounding the inner tube with contained Helium gas. The configuration of an outer tube filled with Helium presents external pressures to the inner tube. The contained Helium gas in the outer tube, among other things, compresses and supports the walls of the inner tube, enabling the inner tube to be smaller in diameter than prior art plasma chambers, which chambers would shatter if made with as small a diameter as the present inner tube.
