High speed infrared radiation thermometer, system, and method

Patent Markham, James R [Middlefield, CT]

The high-speed radiation thermometer has an infrared measurement wavelength band that is matched to the infrared wavelength band of near-blackbody emittance of ceramic components and ceramic thermal barrier coatings used in turbine engines. It is comprised of a long wavelength infrared detector, a signal amplifier, an analog-to-digital converter, an optical system to collect radiation from the target, an optical filter, and an integral reference signal to maintain a calibrated response. A megahertz range electronic data acquisition system is connected to the radiation detector to operate on raw data obtained. Because the thermometer operates optimally at 8 to 12 .mu.m, wheremore » « less

High-sensitivity, high-speed continuous imaging system

Patent Watson, Scott A; Bender, III, Howard A

A continuous imaging system for recording low levels of light typically extending over small distances with high-frame rates and with a large number of frames is described. Photodiode pixels disposed in an array having a chosen geometry, each pixel having a dedicated amplifier, analog-to-digital convertor, and memory, provide parallel operation of the system. When combined with a plurality of scintillators responsive to a selected source of radiation, in a scintillator array, the light from each scintillator being directed to a single corresponding photodiode in close proximity or lens-coupled thereto, embodiments of the present imaging system may provide images of x-ray,more » « less

High-speed multiframe dynamic transmission electron microscope image acquisition system with arbitrary timing

Patent Reed, Bryan W.; DeHope, William J.; Huete, Glenn; ...

An electron microscope is disclosed which has a laser-driven photocathode and an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) laser system ("laser"). The laser produces a train of temporally-shaped laser pulses of a predefined pulse duration and waveform, and directs the laser pulses to the laser-driven photocathode to produce a train of electron pulses. An image sensor is used along with a deflector subsystem. The deflector subsystem is arranged downstream of the target but upstream of the image sensor, and has two pairs of plates arranged perpendicular to one another. A control system controls the laser and a plurality of switching components synchronizedmore » « less

Two-color high speed thermal imaging system for laser-based additive manufacturing process monitoring

Patent Calta, Nicholas P.; Guss, Gabe; Matthews, Manyalibo Joseph

Monitoring melt pool temperature in laser powder bed fusion by providing a build laser that produces a laser beam that is directed onto the melt pool and produces an incandescence that emanates from the melt pool, receiving the incandescence and producing a first image having a first spectral band and a second image having a second spectral band, and determining the ratio of said first image having a first spectral band and said second image having a second spectral band to monitor the melt pool temperature.
