Filed:

Aug 2, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/804942

Inventors:

James Spencer - Menlo Park CA, US
Robert Noble - San Jose CA, US
Sara Campbell - Exeter NH, US

Assignee:

The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

H05H 7/00

US Classification:

315501, 315506

Abstract:

Photonic band gap fibers are described having one or more defects suitable for the acceleration of electrons or other charged particles. Methods and devices are described for exciting special purpose modes in the defects including laser coupling schemes as well as various fiber designs and components for facilitating excitation of desired modes. Results are also presented showing effects on modes due to modes in other defects within the fiber and due to the proximity of defects to the fiber edge. Techniques and devices are described for controlling electrons within the defect(s). Various applications for electrons or other energetic charged particles produced by such photonic band gap fibers are also described.

Abstract:

Object-oriented software-based systems may be optimized by providing a data representation which is initially permitted to be completely dynamic such that at compile time representation need not be specified and thereafter the data structure and representation is progressively optimized. The invention is based on the recognition that the important data structures in object-oriented systems are not the objects but rather the slots, i. e. , the attributes of objects.
