Abstract: A liner-less seal application system is programmed to generate a real time seal, the serial number of which is data-matched with product label data on an approach product article. The image is printed in the required position (to suit the article being sealed), onto the adhesive surface of the seal tape.

Abstract: A plane-parallel optical window is the spacer of single-cavity filters in the stack used for DWDM applications. Highly reflective quarter-wave stacks are deposited on each side of the optical window and the single-cavity structure so obtained is diced to produce a plurality of filters. Because the single-cavity structure has the same thickness over the entire window area and the quarter-wave-stack deposition process is carried out throughout under the same conditions, each single-cavity filter fabricated from the optical window has the same transmission wavelength and is therefore readily stackable for DWDM applications. Alternatively, an optical window with a thickness equal to one half that required for the spacer of a single-cavity filter is coated on a single side. The window is then divided in multiple identical components that can be combined in pairs by placing them in optical contact so as to form individual single-cavity filters with the same transmission wavelength.
