Laser Absorptivity Measuring Device
Featured Opportunity • A compact, high-throughput diagnostic tool for characterizing laser-based processes Characterizing the laser absorptivity and efficiency compensation of laser-based processes can provide useful avenues for defect characterization and mitigation; however, laser-metal interactions during welding and metal additive manufacturing are notoriously complex. Existing techniques for measuring laser absorption efficiency rely on reflective...

Laser interferometry force-feedback sensor for an interfacial force microscope
Patent • #6,718,821. A scanning force microscope is provided with a force-feedback sensor to increase sensitivity and stability in determining interfacial forces between a probe and a sample. The sensor utilizes an interferometry technique that uses a collimated light beam directed onto a deflecting member, comprising a common plate suspended above capacitor...

Laser remote sensing of backscattered light from a target sample
Patent • #7,336,351. A laser remote sensing apparatus comprises a laser to provide collimated excitation light at a wavelength; a sensing optic, comprising at least one optical element having a front receiving surface to focus the received excitation light onto a back surface comprising a target sample and wherein the target sample...

Latching micro optical switch
Patent • #8,447,148. An optical switch reliably maintains its on or off state even when subjected to environments where the switch is bumped or otherwise moved. In addition, the optical switch maintains its on or off state indefinitely without requiring external power. External power is used only to transition the switch from...

Latching Micro Optical Switch
Featured Opportunity • Sandia National Laboratories has developed a latching switch for optical fibers. One or more fibers are moved by an actuator between two positions, off and on. In the off position, two fiber ends are not aligned and light does not pass from the first fiber to the second. In the...

Latent effects decision analysis
Patent • #6,782,372. Latent effects on a system are broken down into components ranging from those far removed in time from the system under study (latent) to those which closely effect changes in the system. Each component is provided with weighted inputs either by a user or from outputs of other components....

Lateral conduction infrared photodetector
Patent • #8,022,390. A photodetector for detecting infrared light in a wavelength range of 3-25 .mu.m is disclosed. The photodetector has a mesa structure formed from semiconductor layers which include a type-II superlattice formed of alternating layers of InAs and In.sub.xGa.sub.1-xSb with 0.ltoreq.x.ltoreq.0.5. Impurity doped regions are formed on sidewalls of the...
