High-quality, in-bulk conductive graphitic microelectrodes are fabricated perpendicular to the surface of a 500 μm thick monocrystalline CVD diamond sample using pulsed Bessel beams. With 12o cone angle beam, different pulse parameters explored optimize wires which written without translation. The quality electrodes and their electrical structural properties have been analysed through current-v...

Zero incidence angle spatial filters of a compact design can be very useful, among others, for intracavity filtering in high-power micro-lasers. Typically, micro-lasers, especially operation regimes, emit beams low quality due to the large aspect ratio laser resonator. A promising proposal is integration Photonic Crystals structures into micro-resonator laser. Here, we report efficient with des...

A novel fully decoupled micro inertial measurement unit (MIMU) is presented in this paper. The proposed MIMU structure, mostly focusing on the gyroscope unit, is highly symmetrical and can be limited to an area of 10,000 μm × 10,000 μm. Both the tri-axis gyroscope and tri-axis accelerometer structures are fabricated on the same single silicon chip, which can differentially detect three axes’ an...

In the fabrication of micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) devices, manufacturing process variations are usually involved. For these devices sensitive to process variations such as doubly-clamped beams, mismatches between designs and final products will exist. As a result, it underlies yield problems and will be determined by design parameter ranges and distribution functions. Topographical ...

Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) is considered as an alternative to Magnetic Confinement Fusion to achieve controlled thermonuclear fusion. The main goal is to exploit the energy released from thermonuclear fusion reactions to produce electric energy. Heavy ion beams were proposed in 1976 as one of the possible drivers in ICF. The method consists in igniting few milligrams of deuterium-tritium...

Laser beam homogenizing and beam shaping are key enabling technologies for many applications today. Periodic microlens arrays are widely used to transform Gaussian or non-uniform beam profile into a uniform “flat-top”. Each microlens element samples the input beam and spreads it over a given angular distribution. Incoherent beams that are either temporally or spatially incoherent can produce ve...

. this paper presents the results of an experimental investigation on shear strength enhancement of reinforced concrete deep beams externally reinforced with fiber reinforced polymer (frp) composites. a total of six deep beam specimens of two different classes, as-built (unstrengthened) and retrofitted were tested in the experimental evaluation program. two composite systems namely carbon/epoxy...
