    Abstract: Electrical connectors incorporate a composite coating of molybdenum disulfide and a metal, preferably tin, for one or both of the contact surfaces of the electrical connector. The coating provides for a low coefficient of friction, low contact resistance, and good electrical conductivity, as well as good mechanical properties. The coating also reduces the insertion force of the electrical connectors, thereby increasing the number of possible terminal pairs and/or reducing terminal bending and breakage for a manually mated connector. The coating can be deposited on copper, tin-plated copper, tin alloy-plated copper or other metallic substrates, using any of several physical vapor deposition methods.

    Abstract: An improved partial reflector is disclosed in which the reflector is configured to provide selected levels of reflectance, transmittance and efficiency that are substantially uniform over the visible wavelength range of 400 to 700 nanometers. This result is achieved using a special three-layer coating that includes a metal layer sandwiched between two metal oxide dielectric layers having relatively high refractive indices >2.0. Advantageously, the three layers all incorporate the same metal, preferably niobium.

    Abstract: Methods for making proton-exchanged, multi-function integrated optics chips, preferably chips based on the stable, rhombohedral lithium niobate structure, and having substantially diffused protons, while being substantially free of microcracking and of internal stresses that can result in microcracking, and yet having optimally high electro-optic coefficients, include the steps of: forming a multi-function integrated optics chip substrate from a substrate such as lithium niobate; affixing a removable mask or mask pattern to at least one surface of the chip to form one or more proton-exchanged patterns of desired size and shape at the surface of the chip; treating the masked chip with a proton-exchanging acid such as benzoic acid at a temperature and for a time sufficient to cause substantial proton exchange at and below the unmasked surface of the chip, but for a time insufficient to create any microcracking or internal stresses that lead to microcracking in the chip; removing the mask or mask pattern from the chip; and thermally annealing the chip, in an oxygen-containing environment, at a temperature and for a time sufficient to diffuse the hydrogen ions at and near the surface of the chip substantially below its surface, at a temperature and for a time sufficient to optimize the polarization extinction ratio of the chip, and for a time and at a temperature sufficient to restore and to optimize the electro-optic coefficient and to reduce light and propagation losses in the chip.
