Abstract: A mechanical galvanometer tilt control system includes two beam detection sensors that detect vertical displacement caused by the horizontal rotation of a galvanometer and the vertical rotation of a photoconductive drum. The galvanometer may be in communication with a mirror holder that holds a mirror. The mirror holder may be operable to horizontally rotate the mirror as the mirror reflects a light beam onto a photosensitive image forming surface of the photoconductive drum. The two beam detection sensors receive the reflected light beam as the galvanometer generates one or more forward-going and one or more reverse-going scanlines on the photosensitive image forming surface. The mechanical galvanometer tilt control system may further determine an amount of vertical correction required to correct for the vertical displacement caused by the rotation of the galvanometer and the rotation of the photoconductive drum.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for division and rearrangement of light from a source object. The apparatus splits the light from the source object, or image of the source object, and recombines it in a parallel, fashion to increase the efficiency of multiphoton microscopy in general and harmonic or fluorescence emission microscopy in particular. The apparatus includes a beam splitter configured to split a light beam into at least two independent light paths to yield a first light path and a second light path; a first beam focuser configured to direct and focus the first light path onto a focal plane; and a second beam focuser configured to direct and focus the second light path onto the same or different focal plane to which the first light path is focused; and wherein the first and second light paths may be superimposed upon one another at a common focal plane or directed independently to different positions.

Abstract: A gas cluster ion beam (GCIB) processing method for preparing an isolation layer in a non-planar gate structure is described. The method forms a non-planar gate structure on a substrate. Additionally, the GCIB processing method includes generating a GCIB formed from a material source for forming an isolation layer for the non-planar gate structure. Additionally yet, the GCIB processing method includes selecting a beam energy, a beam energy distribution, a beam focus, and a beam dose to achieve a desired thickness of the isolation layer, accelerating the GCIB to achieve the beam energy, focusing the GCIB to achieve the beam focus, and irradiating at least a portion of the substrate with the accelerated GCIB according to the beam dose. The GCIB processing method forms the isolation layer at a base surface adjacent a base of the non-planar gate structure using the GCIB to achieve the desired thickness.

Abstract: According to the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising a sensor for detecting electromagnetic radiation from an object, focussing means arranged to focus said electromagnetic radiation onto the sensor, and a configurable element disposed between the focussing means and the sensor. The configurable element is switchable between a plurality of configurations, each configuration providing a different transfer function between the object and the sensor. As the configurable element is located between the focussing means and the sensor, the transfer function associated with each configuration contains information from both the Fourier and image domains, allowing a high resolution image to be reconstructed.

Abstract: A FFAG is a particle accelerator having turning magnets with a linear field gradient for confinement and a large edge angle to compensate for acceleration. FODO cells contain focus magnets and defocus magnets that are specified by a number of parameters. A set of seven equations, called the FFAG equations relate the parameters to one another. A set of constraints, call the FFAG constraints, constrain the FFAG equations. Selecting a few parameters, such as injection momentum, extraction momentum, and drift distance reduces the number of unknown parameters to seven. Seven equations with seven unknowns can be solved to yield the values for all the parameters and to thereby fully specify a FFAG.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming a beam of electromagnetic radiation. The apparatus includes a plasma radiation source, a foil trap provided with a plurality of thin foils that extend substantially parallel to the direction of radiation from the plasma source, and a grid disposed between the plasma radiation source and the foil trap. A space is located between the grid and the foil trap. An electrical potential application circuit is constructed and arranged to apply an electrical potential to the grid so that the grid repels electrons emitted by the plasma radiation source and creates a positive space charge between the grid and the foil trap to deflect ions emitted by the plasma radiation source to the foil trap. A distance between the grid and the foil trap is at least equal to one-half of a radius of the foil trap.
