Abstract

The improved longitudinal discharge laser electrode with IR baffle includes an electrode made up of washers spaced along the laser axis in order to form inter-washer spaces for hollow cathode discharge to take place and for IR radiation to be trapped. Additional IR baffles can be placed between the electrode ann the window.

Longitudinal discharge laser baffles

Patent Warner, Bruce E [Livermore, CA]; Ault, Earl R [Dublin, CA]

The IR baffles placed between the window and the electrode of a longitudinal discharge laser improve laser performance by intercepting off-axis IR radiation from the laser and in doing so reduce window heating and subsequent optical distortion of the laser beam.

Plasma spark discharge reactor and durable electrode

Patent Cho, Young I.; Cho, Daniel J.; Fridman, Alexander; ...

A plasma spark discharge reactor for treating water. The plasma spark discharge reactor comprises a HV electrode with a head and ground electrode that surrounds at least a portion of the HV electrode. A passage for gas may pass through the reactor to a location proximate to the head to provide controlled formation of gas bubbles in order to facilitate the plasma spark discharge in a liquid environment.

Electrode configuration for extreme-UV electrical discharge source

Patent Spence, Paul Andrew [Pleasanton, CA]; Fornaciari, Neal Robert [Tracey, CA]; Chang, Jim Jihchyun [San Ramon, CA]

It has been demonstrated that debris generation within an electric capillary discharge source, for generating extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray, is dependent on the magnitude and profile of the electric field that is established along the surfaces of the electrodes. An electrode shape that results in uniform electric field strength along its surface has been developed to minimize sputtering and debris generation. The electric discharge plasma source includes: (a) a body that defines a circular capillary bore that has a proximal end and a distal end; (b) a back electrode positioned around and adjacent to the distal end of themore »« less

Focused shock spark discharge drill using multiple electrodes

Patent Moeny, William M.; Small, James G.

A spark discharge focused drill provided with one pulse forming line or a number of pulse forming lines. The pulse forming line is connected to an array of electrodes which would form a spark array. One of the electrodes of each of the array is connected to the high voltage side of the pulse forming line and the other electrodes are at ground potential. When discharged in a liquid, these electrodes produce intense focused shock waves that can pulverize or fracture rock. By delaying the firing of each group of electrodes, the drill can be steered within the earth. Powermore »« less

Hollow - cathode electrode for high-power, high-pressure discharge devices

Patent Chang, Jim J [7644 Ashford Way, Dublin, CA 94568]; Alger, Terry W [901 Renown Dr., Tracy, CA 95376]

Several different cold cathode configurations for a gas discharge device each having a plurality of grooves of selected spacing, depth and width to improve the emission of electrons in a gas discharge device. Each of the cold cathode configurations can be machined from a single piece of a selected material. Several of the configurations can be assembled with individual elements which is easily seen from the various figures.
