The EPC includes a target board having a front surface and a back surface, a first plurality of oscillating heat pipes arranged as columns on a first plate, and a second plurality of oscillating heat pipes arranged as rows on a second plate. The target board is configured to receive an impinging energy beam at the front surface of the target board, and the first plate and second plate are adjacent to and in thermal communication with the back surface of the target board.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a logging encapsulated optical-fiber duct cable and a manufacturing method thereof. The encapsulated optical-fiber duct cable mainly comprises an external encapsulation layer. At least one armor tube is arranged in the encapsulation layer. An optical fiber protective tube is arranged in each armor tube. A filling layer is arranged in a space between the optical fiber protective tube and the armor tube. An optical fiber is arranged in the optical fiber protective tube. The manufacturing method mainly comprises four steps: pavement of the optical fiber and formation of the protective tube, formation of the filling layer, formation of the armor tube and formation of the encapsulation layer. The optical-fiber duct cable of the present invention has the advantages of large length, high strength, good temperature tolerance, small signal transmission loss, high transmission speed and synchronous transmission of multiple signals.

Abstract: An optical fiber has an optical fiber core for high-power laser transmission, an optical cladding surrounding the optical fiber core, and at least one harvesting cell disposed around the optical cladding, where the harvesting cell includes an anode, a thermoelectric layer disposed adjacent to and electrically connected to the anode, and a cathode disposed adjacent to and electrically connected to the thermoelectric layer, and where the thermoelectric layer includes a polymer-based thermoelectric material.

Abstract: A laser power meter incorporating an absorber disc with a peripheral thermopile ring, either continuous or segmented, and an additional temperature detection element in the central portion, that enables measurement of beam size. This detection element can be a thermopile element, generally a ring of smaller diameter than the peripheral thermopile used, and located closer to the center of the absorber disc. With this arrangement the beam size can be measured, in addition to measurements of the power and the position of the beam. Alternatively, this centralized detection element can be a single thermocouple junction located at the center of the disc, which acts as the hot junction of a thermocouple pair. The second or cold junction is effectively located on the disc close to the peripheral thermopile. Alternatively, two temperature measuring elements can be used, one at the disc center and one at the periphery.

Abstract: Hand held infrared measurement devices are disclosed, having at least two separated laser sighting emitters (2), which together mark and define a sighting area on a target surface (7,7?,7?). In an embodiment of the invention, separate lasers (2) are provided which each produce a beam (6) used to illuminate a respective separate optical beam directing element (4), mounted between each laser emitter and the target surface (7,7?,7?). The element may be, for example, any of the optical glass fibers, a prism, or a lens, such as a diffraction beam splitter lens, or a refractive lens, each element directing laser light onto the target surface to produce a visually perceptible target marking. The element is preferably made of optical material such as glass or plastic (e.g., methyl methacrylate). Separate laser emitters permit greater brightness displayed on the target within safe operation limits than use of a single laser alone, even with a beam splitter.

Abstract: The temperature measuring device of the present invention comprises: a light source for outputting light; an optical fiber to which light outputted by the light source is inputted and from which Brillouin scattered light is outputted; a detection unit for detecting a spectrum of the Brillouin scattered light; a judgment unit for judging whether or not a frequency shift of the spectrum of the Brillouin scattered light detected by the detection unit belongs to a specific region in which the rate of change of the frequency shift with respect to the temperature of the optical fiber is smaller than a predetermined value; and an analysis unit for, when the judgment unit judges that the frequency shift does not belong to the specific region, analyzing the temperature in use of the frequency shift, and for, when the judgment unit judges that the frequency shift belongs to the specific region, not performing analysis, or analyzing the temperature in use of at least the linewidth of the spectrum of the Brillouin scatte

Abstract: Apparatus for dynamic surface annealing of a semiconductor wafer includes a source of laser radiation emitting at a laser wavelength and comprising an array of lasers arranged in rows and columns, the optical power of each the laser being individual adjustable and optics for focusing the radiation from the array of lasers into a narrow line beam in a workpiece plane corresponding to a workpiece surface, whereby the optics images respective columns of the laser array onto respective sections of the narrow line beam. A pyrometer sensor is provided that is sensitive to a pyrometer wavelength. An optical element in an optical path of the optics is tuned to divert radiation emanating from the workpiece plane to the pyrometry sensor. As a result, the optics images each of the respective section of the narrow line beam onto a corresponding portion of the pyrometer sensor.
