LASER DRIVEN PLASMA SOURCES ARE POTENTIAL X-RAY SOURCES FOR MICROLITHOGRAPHIC APPLICATIONS. UNFORTUNATELY, TO DATE, THESE PLASMA SOURCES HAVE NOT PRODUCED THE X-RAY INTENSITIES REQUIRED FOR LARGE SCALE MANUFACTURING. CHIRPED PULSE AMPLIFICATION, AN INNOVATIVE LASER ARCHITECTURE CONCEPT, COMPATIBLE WITH MOST SOLID STATE SOURCES, IS CAPABLE OF INCREASING THE PEAK POWER OF SMALL LASER SYSTEMS ONE THO ...

A UNIQUE GAS TURBINE/VOC INCINERATION SYSTEM BASED ON CATALYTICALLY STABILIZED (CST) INCINERATION IS PROPOSED, OFFERING BOTH VERY LOW NET CONSTS AND ULTRA HIGH DESTRUCTIONOF ORGANICS IN ANY ORGANIC FUME OR AIR STREAM, INCLUDING THOSE LADEN WITH PARTICULATES (WHETHER ORGANIC, SUCH AS COTTON OR GRAIN DUSTS, OR INORGANIC SUBMICRON PARTICLES). THE SYSTEM WILL PROVIDE IMPROVED DISTRUCTION COMPARED TO A ...
