| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 4228407 | Ion-beam-excited gas laser A high-power gas laser pumped by an intense, pulsed, space charge-and current-neutralized ion beam. A high-pressure gas in the laser cavity is ionized by an ion beam. Atomic processes occur which result in a population inversion for the excited states of ... | 10/14/1980 |
| 4218628 | Vacuum ultraviolet and x-ray light source and method and short wavelength laser pumped by said light source A vacuum ultraviolet and x-ray light source based on spontaneous anti-Stokes scattering from atomic population stored in a metastable level is described. The source has a maximum brightness, attained as the media approaches two-photon opacity, equal to th... | 08/19/1980 |
| 4160956 | Nuclear-pumped uranyl salt laser A direct nuclear radiation pumped laser consisting essentially of a uranyl salt with a UO2++ uranyl ion enriched in the U235 isotope sufficient to sustain a fission chain reaction, the uranyl ion being directly nuclear rad... | 07/10/1979 |
| 4110703 | Volumetric direct nuclear pumped laser A volumetric direct nuclear pumped laser has been developed in which the gas is a mixture of 3 He and a minority gas from the group of argon, krypton, xenon, chlorine and fluorine. The mixture of 3 He and the minority gas produces la... | 08/29/1978 |
| 4075057 | Non-equilibrium radiation nuclear reactor An externally moderated thermal nuclear reactor is disclosed which is designed to provide output power in the form of electromagnetic radiation. The reactor is a gaseous fueled nuclear cavity reactor device which can operate over wide ranges of temperatur... | 02/21/1978 |
| 4058486 | Producing X-rays A method of producing X-rays by directing radiant energy from a laser onto a target. Conversion efficiency of at least about 3 percent is obtained by providing the radiant energy in a low-power precursor pulse of approximately uniform effective intensity ... | 11/15/1977 |
| 4034226 | Method of and means for producing radiation in the X-ray region A method for producing stimulated emission of radiation in the X-ray region comprising the steps of: selecting as an active medium a system having the following properties; two energy levels separated by an energy difference ƊE corresponding to radiation... | 07/05/1977 |
| 3986139 | Radioactively preionized electrical discharge laser A miniature TEA laser system having a pair of electrodes mounted within the laser cavity and a radioactive source in the form of a beta particle emitter located within the cavity adjacent the electrodes. The electrodes are spaced no more than the maximum ... | 10/12/1976 |
| 3982200 | Electron beam gas discharge laser pressure control A two chamber electrically pumped electron beam stabilized gas discharge laser is enabled to operate at lower electron accelerating voltages for given power applications through provision of very thin separating diaphragms. The apparatus is controlled thr... | 09/21/1976 |
| 3967215 | Laser reactor A device producing reactions in the chemical to thermonuclear range and beyond. Physical principles entail pressures, kinetic temperatures, and electromagnetic field strengths obtainable from convergent electromagnetic energy. Process converges closed ele... | 06/29/1976 |
| 3952263 | Fission fragment excited laser system A laser system and method for exciting lasing action in a molecular gas lasing medium which includes cooling the lasing medium to a temperature below about 150 K and injecting fission fragments through the lasing medium so as to preferentially excite low ... | 04/20/1976 |
