Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
THE PROCESS OF PRODUCING A STABLE DIVALENT RARE EARTH LASER CRYSTAL FROM A CAF2:DY+3 CRYSTAL COMPRISING THE STEPS OF POSITIONING THE CRYSTAL BETWEEN A TUNGSTEN POINT CATHODE AND A GOLD SHEET ANODE, INCREASING THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CRYSTAL ABOVE ABOUT 300*C., IMPRESSING A POTENTIAL OF ABOUT 300 VOLTS BETWEEN THE CATHODE AND THE ANODE AND THROUGH THE CRYSTAL, AND MAINTAINING THE CRYSTAL ABOVE ABOUT 300*C. AND UP TO ABOUT 300 VOLTS TO THE PRODUCTION OF THE STABLE DIVALENT RARE EARTH LASER CRYSTAL.
