A piezoelectric variable color filter is disposed on a second side of th... | 05/23/2006 |
| 6544330 | Bonded, walk-off compensated optical elements A bonded, walk-off compensated crystal, for use with optical equipment, and methods of making optical components including same.... | 04/08/2003 |
| 6534920 | Horizontal deflection circuit and bidirectional horizontal deflection apparatus An amplitude control circuit controls the amplitude of a correction signal periodically changing in a parabolic form at vertical scanning intervals based on the level of an amplitude control signal and applies an amplitude controlled output signal to an a... | 03/18/2003 |
| 5189338 | Photomultiplier tube having reduced tube length A photomultiplier tube includes a tube, a focussing electrode unit formed with a photoelectron transmission hole whose center is positioned offset from a central axis of the tube and a dynode positioned in confrontation with the transmission hole. A cente... | 02/23/1993 |
| 5083849 | Light signal sampling system A sampling streak oscilloscope responsive to a light input signal stores charges on a CCD target by means of an electron beam rapidly scanned across a narrow dimension of the CCD target in coincidence with a segment or portion of the light input signal. T... | 01/28/1992 |
| 4126813 | Direct view device The invention includes an electron tube such as an image intensifier which utilizes a channel-type electron multiplier. The multipler is made of a perforated glass plate made in a manner such that secondary emission may be produced at the interior surface... | 11/21/1978 |
