Abstract: An optical configuration and related analysis techniques are presented that provide a practical method for determining the Rytov parameter based on the difference of variances for the differential image motion (average wavefront gradient or wavefront tilt) between two receiving apertures. The Rytov parameter is the log-amplitude variance predicted by an approximate solution to Maxwell's equations for propagation through media with random index of refraction (Rytov theory). It is a useful metric of the optical effects for extended turbulence propagation and is a leading indicator of the performance limitations of adaptive optical compensation devices not related to the transverse coherence diameter. A time-duplex alternative apparatus and a single source alternative apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract: A method for determining the time curve of the intensity of radiation present at the location of at least one sample which is being examined. The sample follows a circular path of movement in a sealed sample chamber of a weathering testing device, around a stationary radiation device for producing UW and global radiation. At least one sensor which detects the momentary radiation intensity of the radiation device is provided. The sensor moves together with the at least one sample, and is displaced in relation thereto in relation to the radiation device, for example in the peripheral direction of the path of movement. An electrical signal corresponding to the momentary intensity of the radiation is derived by the sensor at set intervals.

Abstract: A modulated infrared source is disclosed in which spatial modulation is accomplished by the rotation of beam forming optics about an infrared source in which a portion of the energy in the beam produced includes energy coming directly from the IR source without being reflected. Close to 100% of the energy from the infrared source is focused by rotating parabolically shaped elements, such that energy losses due to the modulation technique are minimized. The speed of the rotation of the reflective optics is minimized while maintaining sufficiently high modulation frequencies by the provision of four beams from a single source.

Abstract: An array for projecting thermal images and a method of making same. The array of the present invention combines a two-tier architecture created with special processing whereby each pixel member resides on an elevated platform directly over discrete pixel control electronics and electrically conducting traces couple a plurality of pixels so that they can be controlled to project thermal images at equal to or faster than video frame rates. Microlens assemblies coupled to each discrete pixel improves the thermal efficiency of the array for certain applications. In the method of fabrication, a semiconductor microbridge-type structure obtains with the use of sacrificial layers under deposited pixel members in a compact array so that the pixel electronics reside beneath their associated pixel and the array electronics inhabit the same chip as the array thereby improving fill factor and time constant of the resulting array.

Abstract: Electron-optical rotationally symmetrical lenses inevitably suffer from chromatic aberration which often determines the resolution limit at low acceleration voltages. This lens defect cannot be eliminated by compensation by means of rotationally symmetrical fields. In order to improve the resolution nevertheless, it has already been proposed to correct the chromatic aberration by means of a corrector (28) provided with two correction elements (34, 40). Each correction element consists of a number of quadrupole fields. Using the known corrector, it has been found that the chromatic magnification error is inadmissibly high. In order to solve this problem, the correction elements in the corrector according to the invention are provided with at least five layers of electrodes (60-a, 60-b, 60-c, 60-d) which produce quadrupole fields. Because of the strong periodicity of the electron paths in the correcting quadrupole fields, the chromatic magnification error is limited sufficiently (or even reduced to zero) so as to allow the use of the corrector for practical purposes.

Abstract translation: 电子 - 光学旋转对称透镜不可避免地会遭受色差，其通常决定了在低加速度电压下的分辨率极限。 这种透镜缺陷不能通过旋转对称场的补偿来消除。 为了提高分辨率，已经提出通过具有两个校正元件（34,40）的校正器（28）来校正色像差。 每个校正元件由多个四极场组成。 使用已知的校正器，已经发现色度倍率误差是不允许的。 为了解决这个问题，根据本发明的校正器中的校正元件设置有产生四极场的至少五层电极（60-a，60-b，60-c，60-d）。 由于校正四极场中的电子路径的周期性强，所以色彩倍率误差受到充分限制（或甚至降至零），以便实际上可以使用校正器。

Abstract: A method for adjusting an optical system of an energy beam apparatus by using a mark signal that is obtained by one-dimensionally or two-dimensionally scanning a mark on a sample with an energy beam. The mark has a one-dimensional or two-dimensional periodic structure. A first mark signal is detected by scanning the mark with a beam. The mark is set on the optical axis of the optical system. A second mark signal is detected by scanning the mark with a beam. The mark is located at a position that is deviated from the optical axis. A deviation of a deflection position is determined based on a phase difference between the first and second mark signals.
