Apparatus and method for measurement of the mechanical properties and electromigration of thin films

Patent Maris, Humphrey J [Barrington, RI]

A method for characterizing a sample comprising the steps of depositing the sample on a substrate, measuring a first change in optical response of the sample, changing the lateral strain of the sample, measuring a second change in optical response of the sample, comparing the second change in optical response of with the first change in optical response and associating a difference between the second change and the first change in optical response with a property of interest in the sample. The measurement of the first change in optical response is made with the sample having an initial lateral strain.more » « less

Method and apparatus for simultaneously measuring a plurality of spectral wavelengths present in electromagnetic radiation

Patent Buican, Tudor N [Los Alamos, NM]; Martin, John C [Los Alamos, NM]

An apparatus and method simultaneously measures a plurality of spectral wavelengths present in electromagnetic radiation. A modulatable birefringent optical element is employed to divide a polarized light beam into two components, thereby producing a phase difference in two resulting light beams such that the two beams can be made to interfere with one another when recombined, the interference pattern providing the wavelength information required for the analysis of the incident light. The interferometer thus created performs in a similar manner to a Michelson interferometer, but with no moving parts, and with a resolution dependent on the degree of phase shiftmore » introduced by the modulator. « less

Method and apparatus for measuring properties of particle beams using thermo-resistive material properties

Patent Degtiarenko, Pavel V [Williamsburg, VA]; Dotson, Danny Wayne [Gloucester, VA]

A beam position detector for measuring the properties of a charged particle beam, including the beam's position, size, shape, and intensity. One or more absorbers are constructed of thermo-resistive material and positioned to intercept and absorb a portion of the incoming beam power, thereby causing local heating of each absorber. The local temperature increase distribution across the absorber, or the distribution between different absorbers, will depend on the intensity, size, and position of the beam. The absorbers are constructed of a material having a strong dependence of electrical resistivity on temperature. The beam position detector has no moving parts inmore » « less

Method and apparatus for measuring the intensity and phase of one or more ultrashort light pulses and for measuring optical properties of materials

Patent Trebino, Rick P [Livermore, CA]; DeLong, Kenneth W [Livermore, CA]

The intensity and phase of one or more ultrashort light pulses are obtained using a non-linear optical medium. Information derived from the light pulses is also used to measure optical properties of materials. Various retrieval techniques are employed. Both "instantaneously" and "non-instantaneously" responding optical mediums may be used.
