Abstract: A method and system temporarily holds a workpiece, most suitably an aero engine turbine blade element during manufacture. The workholding system includes a support body with a contoured body surface, complementary to a workpiece surface, formed of a transparent material to define a bonding zone. The support body is supported by a base to form a workpiece shuttle, and a bond station receives the workpiece shuttle. Complementary zero-point locating elements on the shuttle and station assure accurate positioning. The bond station further has workpiece locating elements configured to accurately position the workpiece on the shuttle in a predetermined position relative to the zero-point locating elements of the shuttle, thereby compensating for shuttle-to-shuttle variance. An adhesive, such as a UV curable adhesive, is applied to the bonding zone and cured by UV through the transparent material, thereby fixing the workpiece in the predetermined position.

The structure includes a lower doped dielectric layer, a multiple quantum well active layer, a ridge-shaped doped dielectric layer, periodic grating grooves formed on the ridge-shaped doped dielectric layer and a top electrical contact layer forming ohmic electrical contact with electrical contact regions between the grating grooves.

In a case of uniform distribution, a laser based on refractive index modulation is realized. In a case of non-uniform distribution, a laser with mixed modulation is realized by introducing additional gain modulation.
