    Abstract: 本発明は、基板の厚み通して光学的に探査する際、従来の顕微鏡スライド、マイクロアレイ、またはマイクロタイタープレートの性能限界を克服する基板を提供する。 従来の顕微鏡スライドでは、ガラスの厚みを通した画像化により導入される歪みの結果として、画質および解像度が悪化する。 光ファイバ探査型マイクロスライド(FOI)は、共に融合されている多くの光ファイバからなる。 顕微鏡スライドを形成するためスライスし研磨したとき、ファイバはマイクロスライドの片面から他面へと、光画像を効率的に移行する。 完成したマイクロスライドは、厚みゼロのウィンドウに相当する光量である。 上面にある対象物の画像は、スライドの厚みを通して焦点を合わせることなく、観察することが可能な底部表面に移行する。 改善された画質の提供に加え、FOIマイクロスライドにより、複合的で高価な集束レンズなしで、対象物を直接画像化することができる。

    Abstract: A method of making a functionalized device for amplification or multiplication of electrons includes making a glass channel array by a laser-induced deep etching process including (1) applying laser pulses to a glass substrate to form an array of modified areas, the glass substrate having a thickness less than 5 mm, the modified areas extending between two surfaces of the glass substrate, and (2) subsequently performing an etching process to selectively remove the modified areas and thereby form an array of through channels. Subsequently, one or more materials are deposited on the glass channel array to form the functionalized device.

    Abstract: A proton radiography system includes a source of a proton beam at nonrelativistic energy, directed on a beam path to an object to be imaged; one or more time-of-flight (TOF) detectors arranged on the beam path to detect incidence of beam protons and generate output signals indicative thereof with a time resolution substantially less than a time of flight of the protons; and a data acquisition and analysis subsystem coupled to the TOF detectors to receive the respective output signals and (1) calculate TOF values for respective bunches of one or more protons, (2) convert the TOF values to proton velocity values and proton energy values, and (3) use the proton energy values to calculate a corresponding value for a physical property of the object along the beam path, and incorporate the value into elements of a radiographic image of the object stored or displayed in the system.

    Abstract: A method of making a waveguiding optical component includes processing a polymer optical material to form a billet having an axis of light transmission and having residual stress maintaining a transverse extent of the billet; placing the billet into a mold, the mold being configured to constrain transverse expansion of the billet according to a desired shape of the waveguiding optical component; and heating the billet in the mold to induce relaxation of the residual stress and corresponding transverse expansion of the billet, thereby forming the billet into the waveguiding optical component with the desired shape. An alternative method begins with a collection of individual canes or fiber segments which are fused during the heating process, bypassing a separate process of forming a billet.
