  • Patent number: 9945733
    Abstract: An arrangement for temperature measurement at high-voltage potential is disclosed. The energy for measuring the temperature of an optical current transformer is provided by a single photodiode. The photodiode is supplied by light emitted by a light source and guided to the photodiode via an optical waveguide.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6493364
    Abstract: A beam shutter apparatus designed to handle high powered UV radiation is disclosed. The shutter includes a high reflectivity mirror mounted on a plate which can be rotated between a first position where the beam is reflected and redirected to a tool such as a beam dump and a second position where the beam is free to pass out of the laser, where the beam is free to pass out of the laser The shutter includes a support base with an angled upper surface upon which the mirror plate rests when in the second position. The support base has a beam path channel designed so that a beam can pass through the support base and out of the shutter when the mirrored plate is in the first position. The mirrored plate is rotated by a linkage, which is driven by an electrically powered actuator on a rotational magnet. The support base is machined out of a monolithic piece of metal allowing very high precision without the need for cumbersome alignment procedures.
