Publication number: 20170345622Abstract: A plasma applicator includes a plasma discharge tube and a microwave cavity at least partially surrounding a portion of the plasma discharge tube. Microwave energy is coupled to the microwave cavity via a coupling iris. At least two orthogonal dimensions of the microwave cavity are selected such that the microwave energy in the microwave cavity propagates in a transverse electric (TE) mode. Primary electric fields generated from the microwave energy combine with an evanescent electric field generated from the coupling iris, such that a combined electric field in the microwave cavity is substantially uniform along the longitudinal axis of the plasma discharge tube. A plurality of radial microwave chokes is disposed over an exterior of the plasma discharge tube. Positions of the microwave chokes are such that microwave energy propagating in the TE mode and a transverse electric magnetic (TEM) mode is attenuated.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2016Publication date: November 30, 2017Applicant: MKS Instruments, Inc.Inventors: Mohammad Kamarehi, Chaolin Hu, Olivia Keller

Patent number: 7521017Abstract: Disclosed are reinforced metal matrix composites and methods of shaping powder materials to form such composites. Articles of manufacture are formed in layers by a laser fabrication process. In the process, powder is melted and cooled to form successive layers of a discontinuously reinforced metal matrix. The matrix exhibits fine grain structure with enhanced properties over the unreinforced metal, including higher tensile modulus, higher strength, and greater hardness. In some preferred embodiments, an in-situ alloy powder, a powder metallurgy blend, or independently provided powders are reinforced with boron and/or carbon to form the composite.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2002Date of Patent: April 21, 2009Assignee: Triton Systems, Inc.Inventors: Joseph M. Kunze, Horst Gigerenzer, Chaolin Hu

Patent number: 6627847Abstract: According to an aspect of the present invention, a method for laser soldering optical components is described. In that method, a first selected material is disposed on the components to facilitate the deposition of solder. Subsequently, solder is disposed on that material and the component is aligned. A laser beam is properly focused on the solder such that the solder melts and, when the laser beam is turned off, hardens, thereby fixing the component in the desired position.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2001Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Assignee: Nortel Networks LimitedInventors: Chaolin Hu, Parviz Tayebati, Masud Azimi

Publication number: 20020004105Abstract: A method of fabricating ceramic parts is disclosed using a laser deposition process to produce highly dense ceramic parts. A metal substrate is preferably used and ceramic powder deposited in layers on the substrate, while varying the power of the laser beam to bond the layers together without cracking the substrate or causing a plasma reaction in the ceramic powder. Dense structures which are about 96% to about 100% ceramic can be produced. A part can be graded using different types and mixtures of ceramic powders to produce the part of a desired composition.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2001Publication date: January 10, 2002Inventors: Joseph M.
