A system for sintering a quartz tube, such as a quartz fiber optic sleeve tube. The system comprises a furnace for heating the quartz tube to a temperature of at least 1400° C. in a controlled atmosphere, a support rod assembly for the quartz tube, and means for positioning the quartz tube and a portion of the support rod assembly within the furnace. The support rod assembly includes a cylindrical support rod that straightens and supports the quartz tube and prevents tapering of the inner diameter due to creep, and at least one retaining portion coupled to at least one end of the cylindrical support rod for preventing slippage of the quartz tube from the support rod assembly. A mandrel assembly for fabricating a quartz fiber optic sleeve tube, a method of making a quartz fiber optic sleeve tube using the mandrel assembly, and a quartz fiber optic sleeve tube are also disclosed.

A method of making a cubic halide scintillator material includes pressing a powder mixture of cubic halide and at least one activator under conditions of pressure, temperature, residence time and particle size effective to provide a polycrystalline sintered cubic halide scintillator having a pulse height resolution of from about 7% to about 20%. The conditions include a temperature ranging from about ambient temperature up to about 90% of the melting point of the cubic halide, a pressure of from about 30,000 psi to about 200,000 psi, a pressing residence time of from about 5 minutes to about 120 minutes and an average cubic halide particle size of from about 60 micrometers to about 275 micrometers.
摘要:
An apparatus including a crucible, an energy source, and a controller is provided. The crucible may be sealed to a nitrogen-containing gas, and may be chemically inert to at least ammonia at a temperature in a range of about 400 degrees Celsius to about 2500 degrees Celsius. The energy source may supply thermal energy to the crucible. The controller may control the energy source to selectively direct sufficient thermal energy to a predefined first volume within the crucible to attain and maintain a temperature in the first volume to be in a range of from about 400 degrees Celsius to about 2500 degrees Celsius. The thermal energy may be sufficient to initiate, sustain, or both initiate and sustain growth of a crystal in the first volume. The first temperature in the first volume may be controllable separately from a second temperature in another volume within the crucible. The first temperature and the second temperature differ from each other. Associated methods are provided.

A light emitting device comprised of a light emitting diode on a mounting surface, the light emitting diode includes a substrate layer and at least one active region. A resilient substantially transparent and substantially phosphor free polymer layer extends from the mounting surface to above at least one quarter of a height of the substrate layer but below a top surface of the light emitting diode. A second phosphor containing layer extends from the phosphor free polymer layer to above the top surface of the light emitting diode.
摘要:
A fused quartz article, such as a muffle tube or crucible, with enhanced creep resistance. The enhanced creep resistance is the result of controlled devitrification of the fused quartz article. Controlled devitrification is achieved by coating the article with a colloidal silica slurry doped with metal cations, such as barium, strontium, and calcium. The metal cations in the slurry promote nucleation and growth of cristobalite crystals into the fused quartz at temperatures in the range from about 1000° C. to about 1600° C. The cristobalite has significantly. higher viscosity, and therefore greater creep resistance at elevated temperatures, than fused quartz. Methods for applying a doped coating to a fused quartz article and improving the creep resistance of a fused quartz article are also disclosed.
