Apparatus for producing a pounce pattern

An apparatus for producing perforated pounce patterns from sheet material has a work-engaging surface for moving and supporting the sheet material. A tool carriage is supported adjacent, and movable relative to the work-engaging surface, and a tool mount is supported on the tool carriage and movable between elevated and lowered positions relative to the work-engaging surface. A pouncing tool is supported in the tool mount and has a tool shaft and a pouncing wheel rotatably suspended from the tool shaft. The pouncing wheel has a plurality of radially extending pins for forming a perforated path in the shape of a pounce pattern when engaged with the sheet material on the work-engaging surface. A keying member is engaged with the tool mount, and the tool shaft has a longitudinally extending keyway engageable with the keying member for fixing the orientation of the pouncing tool relative to the tool mount. A controller during movement of the pouncing tool relative to the sheet material along a line to be perforated rotates the tool mount so that the pouncing wheel axis of rotation is maintained at an oblique angle to the line of tangency between the wheel and the perforated line thereby producing improved perforations in the sheet material that do not tend to close after being formed.

Microstructuring optical wave guide devices with femtosecond optical pulses

The present invention is directed to the creation of zones of permanently altered refractive index characteristics in glass waveguiding devices, including optical fibers and optical waveguides pre-existed in a glass substrate. Such zones are created in glass using a very high intensity laser beam which is produced by focussing the light output from an ultrafast pulsed laser at a predetermined target region in the glass. The preferred laser is a Ti:Sapphire amplified, frequency-doubled Erbium-doped fiber laser system, providing light pulses of approximately 100 femtosecond duration, each with an energy of between about 1 nanojoule and 1 millijoule, and preferably at a pulse repetition rate of between 500 Hz and 1 GHz. The repetition rate is chosen to deliver pulses faster than the thermal diffusion time over the dimensions of the volume element being modified

Polarization insensitive grating in a planar channel optical waveguide and method to achieve the same

A method is disclosed wherein optical structures such as Bragg gratings can be written into planar waveguides disposed on a substrate. By employing the method of this invention, a polarization insensitive device can be made. Such relatively thin planar waveguides disposed on a substrate are inherently polarization sensitive and the structure itself is birefringent. By writing structures in the waveguides or by simply writing a refractive index change in the waveguide by limiting the beam width at the waveguide layer to less than or equal to the thickness of the waveguiding layers on the substrate, in combination with conventional wider beam writing techniques, polarization sensitivity can be lessened or obviated.

Quantum amplifier having passive core and active cladding providing signal gain by interaction of evanescent-wave components of signal and pump beams propagating along the core

Both signal light and pumping light are introduced into an end face of the body, which may be a passive dielectric fibre core such as glass, or a passive dielectric slab with parallel side walls, utilising mode order converting holograms. By the phenomenon of penetration by light of both frequencies within a thin layer of the adhered material as the light beams undergo multiple total internal reflections at the interface between the body and the laser material, atoms of active material, e.g. Nd.sup. + 3 or organic dye molecules in the laser medium are optically pumped to a higher energy level, and fluoresce and are stimulated by the evanescent-wave component of the signal light to coherently emit light in a band of wavelengths correlated with the signal band of wavelengths. The amplified signal light is delivered from the other end face, and is launched through further hologram devices in a transmission mode into a succeeding fibre or slab of the link.
