  • Detector for ionising radiation
    Patent number: 6707045
    Abstract: A detector for ionising radiation comprises first (10) and second (12) diamond detector elements which are connected to a common contact (14). The two detector elements are of differing thickness and are optimised for the detection of different types of radiation, so that the detector simultaneously provides two output signals indicative of different kinds of radiation incident on the detector.

  • Waveguide window
    Patent number: 6493499
    Abstract: A window for a waveguide for a beam of electromagnetic radiation. The window includes a layer of a material capable of allowing electromagnetic radiation to pass therethrough and a support on each side of the layer. Each support defines a passage for electromagnetic radiation. Further, the layer is provided with at least one recess formed in the periphery thereof.
