Saturation induced optical nonreciprocity in He-Ne ring laser plasma, eliminating frequency locking by using Faraday effect
Laser frequency stabilization methods are based on a frequency discriminant which generates an unambiguous deviation signal used for automatic stabilization. Closed-loop control stabilizes cavity length at a null point. Some systems have a stabilized ring laser using a piezoelectric dither and others use a Doppler gain tube.
Neutron activation analysis techniques were employed for the study of the wear and performance characteristics of slip ring and rotor assemblies and of the problems arising from environmental conditions with special reference to surface contamination. Results showed that the techniques could be successfully applied to measurement of wear parameters.
Duranel ring is used to join aluminum and stainless steel tubing. Duranel is a bimetal made up of roll-bonded aluminum and stainless steel. This method of joining the tubing requires only two welding operations.
Lead plated aluminum ring provides a positive static seal for a large diameter pressure vessel for use in a hazardous environment at cryogenic temperatures with high pressure fluid flow. This design can be used in high and low pressure lines of any diameter for any fluid, with appropriate material modification.
Reinforced fluorocarbon cupseal, which provides an integral lip-type seal, replaces the metal piston rings in piston-cylinder configurations used in the compression of low density gases. The fluorocarbon seal may be used as cryogenic compressor piston seals.
Turbopump disk life increased by thin, relatively rigid metal backing ring installed to the honeycomb seal. The aerodynamic and friction damping provided by this modification eliminates first-stage disk cracking.
Nonreciprocal gain control is used in a ring laser where the two contracirculating beams may have differing intensities because of the residual Faraday rotation and other secondary nonreciprocal effects.
