  • Parametric generation using intersecting cavities
    Patent number: 7768695
    Abstract: A parametric device having a non-linear material (4) for generating an idler wave and a signal wave (16) in response to a pump wave (14), the pump, idler and signal waves being non-collinear, the device having a cavity (10, 11) resonant at the pump wavelength and means for varying the angle between the propagation directions of the pump and idler waves.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 26, 2007
    Date of Patent: August 3, 2010
    Assignee: The University Court of the University of St. Andrews
    Inventors: Malcolm H. Dunn, Cameron F. Rae, Tom J. Edwards, David J. M. Stothard, David Walsh
  • Coating for optimising output coupling of em radiation
    Patent number: 7626756
    Abstract: A coating between a nonlinear crystal and a silicon prism coupler, prevents transmission of radiation scattered within the crystal by filtering out frequencies outside the silicon bandgap to avoid free carrier absorption, but transmits THz frequencies that correspond to the bandgap.

  • Coating for Optimising Output Coupling of Em Radiation
    Publication number: 20080298757
    Abstract: A coating (10) between a nonlinear crystal (5) and a silicon prism coupler (9), prevents transmission of radiation scattered within the crystal (5) by filtering out frequencies outside the silicon bandgap to avoid free carrier absorption, but transmits THz frequencies that correspond to the bandgap.

  • Fastener feeding system
    Patent number: 7134367
    Abstract: A fastener feeding device may include a housing that is securable to a power tool, a glider assembly that is slidably coupled to the housing, a depth control nose slidably coupled to the glider assembly and the housing, and a locking member pivotally coupled to the glider. The locking member may include a mounting sleeve coupleable to a power tool for providing a quick release connection of the feeding device to the power tool. A depth stop may be coupled to the mounting sleeve and may be engageable with a depth stop adjusting ring to adjust a depth to which a fastener driven by the system is driven relative to a surface of a workpiece. A depth control locking member may be pivotally coupled to the glider assembly for adjusting the depth nose control nose with respect to the glider assembly. An extension may be connectable between the power tool and the feeding device.
