Laser-induced fluorescence measurements of OH have been performed in an atmospheric stoichiometric CH(4)/air flame and in a highly sooting propane flame. The measurements were realized with a single 6-nsec pulse from a frequency-doubled dye laser pumped by a Nd:YAG laser and with a spatial resolution of ~25 microm. This was achieved by imaging through a suitably chosen filter set a section of t...

For the bottleneck problem of the conversion efficiency in silicon-based solar cell, the Metallization Wrap– through (MWT) technology is one of the effective methods based on the analysis of factors affecting the solar cell conversion efficiency. The MWT technology is based on laser perforation and that the bus grid lines in the front surface of the solar cell are moved to the back surface. The...

In light of the continued rise in fossil fuel costs, alternative energy sources, such as solar technology, are increasingly important. Concentrating photovoltaic systems are promising for future efficient and cost effective competition with fossil fuels. We employ a microlens array to a CdTe/CdS semiconducting solar cell to increase efficiency via light trapping. Since the microlens array will ...

In the traditional laser beam quality measurement, the lens transform method is used to obtain the information of the multi spot, and can only evaluate the beam quality of a continuous or high repetition rate laser, the evaluation speed is slow and the real-time performance is poor. A micro lens array method is proposed, which samples the laser spot only once and obtains all the spot informatio...

We developed advances laser retroreflectors for solar system exploration, geodesy and for precision test of General Relativity (GR) and new gravitational physics: a micro-reflector array (INRRI, Instrument for landing-Roving laser Retroreflectors Investigations), a midsize reflector array for the European Earth Observation (EO) program, Copernicus (CORA, COpernicus laser Retroreflector Array), ...

Ciphergen’s ProteinChip® System is built to analyze proteins captured on ProteinChip Arrays by means of a ProteinChip Reader integrated with ProteinChip Software and a personal computer. The ProteinChip System detects and accurately calculates the mass of compounds ranging from small molecules and peptides of less than 1000 Da up to proteins of 500 kDa or more based on measured time-of-flight. ...

Array waveguide grating(AWG) is a kind of role scattered light passive device base on the plane wave circuit technology. A broadband laser beam can be divided into multibeam laser light by wavelength. In this paper, the characteristics of AWG are used and based on previous studies. Using an array waveguide grating fiber Bragg grating (FBG) demodulation method, and the mathematical model of FBG ...
