  • DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CUTTING A CONTINUOUS FIBER 3D PRINTING FILAMENT
    Publication number: 20220194006
    Abstract: A device for cutting a filament of a 3D printer includes a blade having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The device also includes a support that is attachable to a heater block of the 3D printer and supports the blade, such that the blade is movable relative to the heater block. The first end of the blade is a cutting end, and the second end of the blade is a drive end. The drive end of the blade has a surface configured to receive a force from outside of the device, such that the blade moves relative to the heater block.

  • Injection-seeded optical parametric oscillator and system
    Publication number: 20060078011
    Abstract: Optical parametric oscillators (OPO) and systems are provided. The OPO has a non-linear optical material located between two optical elements where the product of the reflection coefficients of the optical elements are higher at the output wavelength than at either the pump or idler wavelength. The OPO output may be amplified using an additional optical parametric amplifier (OPA) stage.
