uniform beam
1Beam homogenizer — A beam homogenizer is a device that smooths out the irregularities in a laser beam profile and creates a more uniform one. Most beam homogenizers use a multifaceted mirror with square facets. The mirror reflects light at different angles to… …
2Euler-Bernoulli beam equation — Euler Bernoulli beam theory, or just beam theory, is a simplification of the linear theory of elasticity which provides a means of calculating the load carrying and deflection characteristics of beams. It was first enunciated circa 1750, but was… …
3Laser beam profiler — A laser beam profiler captures, displays, and records the spatial intensity profile of a laser beam at a particular plane transverse to the beam propagation path. Since there are many types of lasers ultraviolet, visible, infrared, continuous… …
4Electron beam physical vapor deposition — or EBPVD is a form of physical vapor deposition in which a target anode is bombarded with an electron beam given off by a charged tungsten filament under high vacuum. The electron beam causes atoms from the target to transform into the gaseous… …
5molecular beam — Physics. a stream of molecules freed from a substance, usually a salt, by evaporation and then passed through a narrow slit for focusing, for investigating the properties of nuclei, atoms, and molecules. Also called molecular ray. * * * ▪ physics …
6External beam radiotherapy — otherwise known as teletherapy, is the most frequently used form of radiotherapy. The patient sits or lies on a couch and an external source of radiation is pointed at a particular part of the body. Kilovoltage (also known as Superficial or Deep) …
7Beebe Beam — was an American woman who fought in the Spanish American War. She disguised herself as a cabin boy in order to go the Philippines, and fought for twelve months in Manila while disguised as a man. She is quoted as saying, I saw war and I lived it …
8Direct integration of a beam — Direct integration is a structural analysis method for measuring internal shear, internal moment, rotation, and deflection of a beam. Positive directions for forces acting on an element. For a beam with an applied weight w(x), taking downward to… …
9Bonnor beam — In general relativity, the Bonnor beam is an exact solution which models an infinitely long, straight beam of light. It is an explicit example of a pp wave spacetime.The Bonnor beam is obtained by matching together two regions:* a uniform plane… …
10Gas cluster ion beam — Gas Cluster Ion Beams (GCIB) is a new technology for nano scale modification of surfaces. It can smooth a wide variety of surface material types to within an angstrom of roughness without subsurface damage. It is also used to chemically alter… …
