Abstract:
Photoconductive compositions comprising an organic photoconductive material, an activator capable of forming a charge transfer complex with the photoconductive material, and a protonic acid. Imaging members provided with an imaging layer prepared from the above composition are highly light sensitive, requiring only brief exposure times, and exhibit a photoinduced state of elevated conductivity which persists long after exposure to light is terminated. These compositions can be returned to their relatively insulative state by merely subjecting the imaging layer to heat in the dark, thereby erasing this photoinduced image pattern of elevated conductivity.
Abstract:
The concentration ratio of two components of a mixture of substances, having absorption bands which are adjacent each other in a manner such that the radiation absorption of the mixture of substances has a minimum between these absorption bands, is determined by measuring, in three adjacent, narrow spectral regions, of the radiation transmitted by the mixture of substances, a variable which is proportional to the ratio .DELTA..sup.1 I / .DELTA..sup.2 I wherein the numerator .DELTA..sup.1 I = (I.sub.3 - I.sub.1) is the difference between the intensities of radiation of the two outer spectral regions, and the denominator .DELTA..sup.2 I = (I.sub.3 - I.sub.2) -(I.sub.2 - I.sub.1) is the value by which the respective differences between the intensities of radiation of each outer spectral region and the middle spectral region differ from each other. The position, in the spectrum, of the three adjacent regions is adjusted so that they are located between the absorption maxima of the two components and where the numerator .DELTA..sup.1 I becomes zero at a definite concentration ratio which is preferably the ratio at which the highest accuracy of measurement is desired. Alternatively, the variable is proportional to the ratio I'/I", which is the ratio of the first derivative I' to the second derivative I" of the distribution of spectral intensity.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a device for measuring the reflection of a plane, specularly reflecting surface, in which a measuring beam of radiation is directed onto the surface to be measured through an optical converging lens and the radiation reflected from the surface is directed through the same lens to a radiation receiver. In such a system, preferably, the optical connections between the source of radiation and the converging lens and between the lens and the radiation receiver are established by means of a fiber-optical photoconductor or a lens and mirror systems. Such a device may be employed, for example, for measuring the reflection of thin layers deposited in a vacuum evaporator.
