Abstract:
A digital projection and reflected glare reduction system according to various aspects of the present technology may include a digital display device capable of generating a one or two dimensional source grid pattern back-illuminated by a light source to project an image of a source grid onto a retroreflective background. The projected source grid image may then be re-imaged onto the original grid element at a slight offset eliminating the need to generate a separate cutoff grid thereby reducing the amount of time required to setup and adjust the system. The digital display device is also capable of switching between a schlieren visualization capability to some other visualization capability (such as particle tracking velocimetry (PTV), particle imaging velocimetry (NV), temperature sensitive paint measurements (TSP), pressure sensitive paint measurements (PSP), photogrammetry, etc.) allowing for the simultaneous use of two different imaging techniques.
Abstract:
Provided are a Fourier lens, a method for designing a Fourier lens, and a schlieren apparatus. The Fourier lens includes a substrate and a plurality of cuboid waveguides. The plurality of waveguides are arranged on the substrate in parallel and spaced from each other at a preset interval. The material of the substrate and the material of the waveguides are all transparent to the working waveband of the Fourier lens. The preset interval is smaller than a quotient obtained by dividing a center wavelength of the working waveband by the refractive index of the substrate. The waveguide has a plurality of widths, and the waveguides of different widths correspond to different phase delays. The individual waveguides are arranged on the substrate according to phase delays required at different positions. According to the embodiments, the range of the working angle of the Fourier lens can be increased.
Abstract:
A lithographic apparatus includes a reflector to redirect a radiation beam, e.g. an EUV beam. The position of the reflector is controlled using a controller and a positioning system. The positioning system includes a non-compensating actuator device and a compensating actuator device to compensate for parasitic forces of the non-compensating actuator device. The positioning system and controller can provide a more accurate position of the reflector, reduce deformation of the reflector and reduce the magnitude of forces transmitting through the reflector.
Abstract:
A detection device is described for measuring the vaporization-melt ratio, the device including a light source, a first and second optical lens group, a slit, a first and second steering mirror, a first and second primary mirror, a glass container, a colored blade, and a high-speed recording analyzer. The first primary mirror and the second primary mirror are symmetrically placed at both ends of the glass container. The first optical lens group is located between the light source and the slit. The second optical lens group is located between the colored blade and the high-speed recording analyzer. The first steering mirror is installed behind the slit, passing the light from the slit to the first primary mirror. The light reflected by the second primary mirror is passed to the colored blade from the second steering mirror located between the second primary mirror and the colored blade.
Abstract:
A one-dimensional image is formed by reflecting the light from a one-dimensional display device having a plurality of light emitting sections or light emitting sections disposed in one direction by a projection optical system three times or more. Then, a two-dimensional image is obtained by optically scanning the one-dimensional image by a light deflection means in a surface including a direction perpendicular to the disposing direction of the light emitting sections or the light emitting sections in the one-dimensional display device. A magnification projecting system is provided to project the two-dimensional image by magnifying it as it is as an intermediate image. A requirement for high resolution can be coped with by employing the one-dimensional display device as well as a small and less expensive light scanning apparatus and two-dimensional image forming apparatus can be realized thereby.
Abstract:
An apparatus and method for measuring by the Schlieren technique light beam deviations generated by a sample (EV) includes a source (S) of light beam for illuminating the sample (EV) therewith so as to have a transmitted beam. An imaging means is provided (L2, L3) for forming an image of the sample from the transmitted beam. A filtering means acts as a Schlieren filter (SF) for obtaining “Schlieren fringes” from the image. The Schlieren filter (SF) comprises a periodic structure (SFP) of a defined period. A detecting means (CCD) is provided for detecting the Schlieren fringes under operating conditions. The apparatus can also include means to shift the filtering means with a shift φ by a fraction of the period of the periodic structure thereby shifting the Schlieren fringes, means to acquire a set of at least three successive phase-shifted images; means for reconstructing a mean image of the sample from said collected phase-shifted images using a phase-shifting algorithm used in interferometry, and processing means to calculate by said phase-shifting analysis the optical characteristics, angle and phase of the transmitted beam from said reconstructed image so as to determine the beam deviation angle generated by the sample.
Abstract:
A technique for reducing interpixel crosstalk in an electrooptic total internal reflection light modulator image bar. A particular electrode length is selected to tailor a portion of the spatial frequency response of the image bar. The pixel size and quality resulting from a voltage difference between electrodes are determined primarily by the overall image bar spatial frequency response, and a set of preferred physical parameters can be determined by selecting parameter values to provide the desired spatial frequency response. It has been found that a desirable frequency response is one that approximates sin(.pi.Pf) for absolute values of f less than about 1/P, where f is the spatial frequency and P is the minimum pixel pitch. Further, it has been found that a particular electrode length provides the desired response for small absolute values of f. The particular electrode length is approximately E.sup.1/2 P/.gamma. where E is the ratio of the normal to tangential dielectric tensor components, P is the minimum pixel pitch, and .gamma. is the grazing angle. The desired cutoff in the frequency response for absolute values of f above about 1/P can be achieved by selecting appropriate values for other physical parameters.
