Introduction

Optical birefringent devices - synthesis of lossless networks, double-pass technique, optical amplitude modulator, and naturally birefringent and electro-optic networks

NETWORK SYNTHESIS

Liquid-level meter has no moving parts

An electro-optical system, without moving parts, reliably indicates liquid levels at cryogenic temperatures. Glass prisms, which act as liquid level probes inside the tank, extend from optically aligned photoelectric assemblies mounted on the outside.

Communication system uses modulated laser beam

Electro-optical system is placed on a satellite to effect communications between two remote stations. The system employs an essentially passive, retrodirective, laser beam modulator-reflector.

Point-source light sensor circuit is insensitive to background light

Circuit incorporating a bisynchronous demodulator for an electro-optical star-tracking sensor provides a signal proportional to star intensity without interference from background light in the field of view. The system works best on a sharply focused star image and requires a 50 percent duty cycle.

The Addition of EI/CI Capability to the Mattauch-herzog Spectrograph with EOID

A modification was made to the Mattauch-Herzog Spectrograph with an electro-optical ion detector (EOID) previously designed and constructed, so that it would be capable of operating not only in the electron-impact (EI) mode of ionization, but also in the chemical ionization (CI) mode. This modification necessitated an effort in three specific design areas: (1) sample inlet; (2) ion source and analyzer regions; and (3) the pumping system. In addition, an appropriate electronics package had to be designed to control and operate the combined EI/CI source.
