Estimating the term…
A piezoelectric device is disclosed, which includes a first element of porous crystalline material, a second element being attached to, or integrally formed with, the first element, and at least one electrode being in electrical contact with the first element, such that subjecting the first element to an electric potential via the at least one electrode results in a strain induced by the first element on the second element. Also disclosed is a piezooptic device which includes a first element of porous crystalline material, a second element being attached to, or integrally formed with, the first element, and a light source, such that subjecting the first element to light originating from the light source results in a strain induced by the first element on the second element.
A piezooptic device comprising a first element of porous crystalline material, a second element being attached to, or integrally formed with, said first element, and a light source, such that subjecting said first element to light originating from said light source results in a strain induced by said first element on said second element.
A method of producing a piezooptic device comprising the steps of attaching to, or integrally forming with, a first element of porous crystalline material, a second element, and providing at least one light source, such that subjecting said first element to light originating from said at least one light source results in a strain induced by said first element on said second element.
A method of straining a porous crystalline material element, the method comprising the step of subjecting the porous crystalline material element to light.
A method of relaxing a strained porous crystalline material element which is subjected to light, the method comprising the step of preventing the light from impinging on the strained porous crystalline material element.
A piezooptic device comprising an element of porous crystalline material and at least one light source being in lighting distance therefrom, such that subjecting said element to light via said light source results in a strain developing in said element.
A method of inducing strain in a first element, the method comprising the steps of attaching to the first element, or integrally forming with the first element, a second element of porous crystalline material and subjecting said second element to light.
