  • Publication number: 20190319420
    Abstract: A broadband light source device (100) for creating broadband light pulses (1) comprises a hollow-core fiber (10) of non-bandgap type including a filling gas and being arranged for creating the broadband light pulses (1) by an optical nonlinear broadening of pump laser pulses (2), wherein the hollow-core fiber (10) has an axial hollow light guiding fiber core (11), which supports core modes of a guided light field, and an inner fiber structure (12), which surrounds the fiber core (11) and which supports transverse wall modes of the guided light field, and a pump laser source device (20) being arranged for creating and providing the pump laser pulses (2) at an input side (13) of the hollow-core fiber (10), wherein the transverse wall modes include a fundamental transverse wall mode and second and higher order transverse wall modes, the broadband light pulses (1) have a core mode spectrum being determined by a fiber length, a fiber core diameter, at least one pump pulse and/or beam parameter of the pump laser pu

  • Patent number: 7416642
    Abstract: A system for cooling a heated juice by partial low-pressure evaporation, the system includes a vat with at least two compartments that are connected to each other through a variably positioned shutter element, where the juice is subjected to decreasing pressure reductions within the vat and the movement of the variably positioned shutter element creates a pulsed effect that removes solid particles contained in the juice.

  • Publication number: 20040173449
    Abstract: A system for cooling a heated juice by partial low-pressure evaporation, said juice comprising a charged liquid, preferably juice from a harvested crop, said system comprising a vat in which the juice is subjected to various pressure reductions, said vat (4) comprising at least two compartments(5,6) which communicate with each other by means of a pulsed-effect valve, said juice being subjected to two different decreasing pressure reductions in said compartments, each compartment being connected to a condenser (19,25) which can condense the vapor produced by the pressure reduction. The condensers are serially mounted or parallel mounted and connected to a common vacuum pump (34) by means of at least one control valve (18) which can permanently adjust the pressure in each condenser to a value which is lower than the saturating vapor pressure corresponding to the temperature of the vapor created in each of the condensers.
