US Patent:

7125163, Oct 24, 2006
Filed:

Nov 24, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/720650
Inventors:

Lynne C. Eigler - Simi Valley CA, US
Yan S. Tam - Oak Park CA, US
Youssef Kohanzadeh - Beverly Hills CA, US
Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:

G01K 17/00
G01J 5/00
G01N 25/20
US Classification:

374 31, 374121, 374 1, 436147, 422 51
Abstract:

An exemplary calorimeter includes a body configured to capture radiation generated by a source of the radiation, such as without limitation a laser, and absorb energy from the captured radiation. The calorimeter is simple to manufacture, operate, and maintain and is compact, highly accurate, able to withstand high power beams, and self-calibrating. NIST traceable electrical wires are used for the measurement. No fluids are used during measurements of the input radiation. A simple built in fluid or gaseous cooling system may be used post-measurement to reset the calorimeter temperature back to ambient for repeated measurement capability.

Appl. No.:

12/817608
Inventors:

Thomas L. Bunn - Simi Valley CA, US
Lynne C. Eigler - Simi Valley CA, US
Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL
International Classification:

G03B 17/00
US Classification:

396439, 3482171, 348777
Abstract:

A method and apparatus for generating an image. Light is passed though an opening of a housing. The light has an intensity. At least a portion of the light received through the opening is increased using an intensifier unit to form intensified light. The intensified light is converted into a number of signals for the image using an image detection system located inside of the housing.

US Patent:

20050109737, May 26, 2005
Filed:

Nov 24, 2003
Appl. No.:

10/720772
Inventors:

Lynne Eigler - Simi Valley CA, US
Yan Tam - Oak Park CA, US
International Classification:

B23K026/00
US Classification:

219121600, 374031000
Abstract:

A device for capturing radiation includes multi-axis, multiple chambers with two dimensional geometry. A first chamber has a first axis and is configured to receive a beam of radiation and absorb a portion of the beam of radiation. A second chamber has a second axis that is not collinear with the first axis. The second chamber is configured to receive at least a portion of the beam of radiation and absorb at least a portion of the beam of radiation. In one preferred embodiment, the second chamber terminates at a vertex. Additional chambers may be provided, as desired, with axes not collinear with either the first chamber, the second chamber, or any other chamber such that the plurality of chambers absorb substantially all of the radiation.

US Patent:

Filed:

May 28, 2008
Appl. No.:

12/128386
Inventors:

Douglas R. Jungwirth - Reseda CA, US
Lynne C. Eigler - Simi Valley CA, US
International Classification:

F21V 9/02
F21V 9/00
US Classification:

362 2, 362293
Abstract:

The optical source assembly/solar simulator comprises a light source, and a reflector for collecting the light and directing the light in a desired direction. In certain embodiments a spectral filter assembly receives the light from the reflector and blocks at least some of the light at specific wavelengths to produce filtered light. The spectral filter assembly is quickly and easily adjustable to vary the spectral spread of the light in the output beam. A homogenizer receives the filtered light and produces a homogenized beam having a substantially uniform irradiance distribution across the beam's cross-section and a substantially uniform spectral distribution across the beam's cross-section. In certain embodiments, a lens assembly images and sizes the homogenized beam at a point in space where a device to be tested can be placed.
