RMI Names Chief Operating Officer
Apr 2, 1999 — LAFAYETTE, Colo., April 2 -- Rocky Mountain Instruments, the Colorado-based designer and manufacturer of UV to far-IR precision laser and imaging optics, coatings and assemblies, has promoted Debbie Hunt to Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Ms. Hunt has been with RMI for 11 years, most recently as Sales Director.
(Emerging Technologies) Lasers:
Apr 1, 1999 — Industrial and consumer applications in abrasives and machine tooling have used man-made diamond -- the hardest known material -- for more than 40 years. More recent research using lasers to create faster, more efficient methods for making superhard...
Heat-Resistant Coating Enables Headlamp Design Flexibility
Apr 1, 1999 — Glass has traditionally been the material of choice for automobile headlamp cover lenses, but it poses severe limitations to design flexibility and creativity. While synthetic materials such as plastic would make cover lenses lighter and would allow...
New Coatings Break Reflectivity Barriers
Feb 1, 1999 — Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have discovered a class of dielectric coatings that can reflect a broad wavelength regime over a wide angular range. Professor John D. Joannopoulos and his colleagues discovered the reflective...
Diode and Fiber Lasers Penetrate Materials Processing and Graphic Arts
Jan 1, 1999 — During 1999 diode lasers and fiber lasers will continue their trend toward improved performance and lower cost, resulting in the further penetration of these sources into material processing and graphic arts applications.
Optical Coatings with Amorphous Character Enable New Products
Jan 1, 1999 — Can the optical coatings industry keep pace with the designer's continual need for better coatings? The answer, so far, is still yes. Many optical products that have entered the market in the past few years are possible only because of recent...
Thin-Film Coating Applications Heat Up
Jan 1, 1999 — Optical coatings are one means of controlling heat in lighting applications such as film projectors and microscope illumination systems. Unfortunately, suppliers of multilayer dielectric coatings have primarily emphasized spectral performance,...
Rocky Mountain Instruments Opens New Facility
Dec 1, 1998 — Rocky Mountain Instrument has opened a new, expanded, state-of-the-art facility designed to handle both mass-produced and one-of-a-kind optical requirements. The company's new clean areas, improved production flow and dedicated R&D chambers...
Integrating Sphere Tests Efficiency
Nov 1, 1998 — As building developers struggle to incorporate energy conservation into their designs, controlling heat and light fluxes through windows is crucial. As the "intelligent window" becomes more complex, so does the objective assessment of its overall...
Mayo Named Congressional Science & Engineering Fellow
Sep 1, 1998 — The Materials Research Society and the Optical Society of America have named Merrilea Joyce Mayo, an associate professor at Penn State University, as the 1998-99 Congressional Science & Engineering Fellow. Mayo, who has a PhD in materials...
Researchers Explore Oxide Materials for Fiber Doping
Sep 1, 1998 — Recently, a team of researchers at Containerless Research Inc. in Evanston, Ill., explored using yttria and alumina compositions to expand the range of fiber lasers in the mid-IR. There was only one problem: Molten oxides that do not contain silica...
Sandia Researchers Take Cue from Seashell Design
Sep 1, 1998 — Rarely do scientists mention seashells and optical coatings in the same sentence. That may soon change now that researchers at the US Department of Energy's Sandia National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque have disclosed...
Silver Coating Maintains Reflectance
Sep 1, 1998 — Although the reflectors behind the xenon flashlamps that pump the Nd:glass amplifiers in the National Ignition Facility's 192 laser beams might seem at most a secondary concern, their reliability is important. Lawrence Livermore National...
Coating Method Makes Molecule-Thick Layers
Jun 1, 1998 — A method for dip coating a substrate with organic polymers may increase the efficiency of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and computer displays while reducing costs and environmental hazards. The technique, being explored by a group of MIT researchers,...
Laser Texturing Slashes Cylinder Wear
Jun 1, 1998 — Laser texturing of engine cylinder walls may reduce oil consumption by 40 percent compared with traditional cylinder machining techniques, according to a manufacturer of engine honing equipment. Machine honing of engine cylinder walls gives them...
Spectra-Physics Wins $2.4 Million Contract for Optical Coatings
Jun 1, 1998 — Spectra-Physics has received a $2.4 million contract to develop optical coatings for the National Ignition Facility. The facility's laser system will require 8000 large optical components and 30,000 smaller ones. Spectra-Physics will manufacture the...
Corning Terminates Supply Agreement with SpecTran
May 1, 1998 — SpecTran Corp. of Sturbridge, Mass., a developer of glass optical fibers, has announced the termination of a supply agreement it had with Corning Inc. in Corning, N.Y. In a deal forged in January 1996, Corning agreed to purchase multimode optical...
Names in the News
May 1, 1998 — BrainTech Inc. received a contract to build and install a print-quality inspection system to improve and standardize the ink jet printer assembly process for Epson Portland Inc. Epson has the option to buy an additional 11 units to automate its...
Software Eliminates Guess-Work from Coating Designs
May 1, 1998 — The possibility of having true global optimization for a large number of variables such as in multi-layer thin film design, has been debated for decades. A true global optimization algorithm works for a variety of different applications to find the...
Water Aids Laser Materials Processing
Apr 1, 1998 — According to an ancient Roman saying, single drops of water can penetrate rocks. Inspired by this wisdom, a group of Swiss researchers at the Polytechnic Institute of Lausanne has discovered that a clever combination of hydrodynamics and laser...
Cantilever Thermal Detector to Challenge Microbolometer
Mar 1, 1998 — Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory have developed an uncooled thermal infrared detector that they hope will cut the costs of IR cameras by one-third. Researchers Panos Datskos and Slobodan Rajic have developed a microcantilever,...
Scientists Bubble with Excitement
Mar 1, 1998 — If you've ever looked deep into a glass of champagne or beer you've probably noticed the strings of bubbles floating around in the liquid and have swallowed them without any great harm. But would you keep drinking if you knew that bubbles can start...
Three-Laser Method Goes Beyond Diamond Films
Mar 1, 1998 — Three years after unveiling an advanced method for depositing diamond thin coats, QQC Inc. has disclosed that it used the same three overlapping pulsed lasers to improve the surface of metals, ceramics and polymers. The multilaser process gained...
Multiplexed Sensors Monitor Bridge Structure, Materials
Feb 1, 1998 — The Taylor Bridge, which spans the Assiniboine River west of Winnipeg, Man-itoba, Canada, is a "smart structure." The two-lane 165.1-m bridge is outfitted with 66 fiber optic sensors and leading-edge calibration and measurement systems designed to...
Optical Coating Absorbs in UV Range
Feb 1, 1998 — Reducing stray light is a problem that engineers often encounter when designing optical instruments. One method of achieving this reduction is to apply absorptive coatings on an instrument's critical components. Applications for the coating are...
