101 FIRING DEVICE FOR AN INITIATOR US13102329 2011-05-06 US20120186478A1 2012-07-26 August Ritter; Thomas Arnold; Henry Moulard
An initiator firing device has a firing member adapted to generate heat for allowing the initiation of an energetic material arranged in the initiator. The device also has an electrical switch mounted in series with the firing member, the switch changing from an open condition to a closed condition by application at its terminals of a voltage higher than a predetermined cut-in voltage.

107 Artillery charge with laser ignition US11548103 2006-10-10 US07546804B1 2009-06-16 Anthony E. Tartarilla, III; Henry Kerwien; Thomas DeVoe; Joseph Leone; Luke Helsel; Nicholas Turner
An artillery charge includes a generally cylindrical body with a hollow core; propellant disposed in the body and first energetic material disposed in the hollow core; and a seal disposed over one end of the hollow core, the seal including second energetic material disposed therein. A laser igniter ignites the second energetic material in the seal, thereby providing more reliable ignition of the first energetic material and the propellant. The artillery charge reliably ignites using a lower powered laser than known charges.

111 Method and device for initiation and ignition of explosive charges through self-destruction of a laser source US10471459 2002-02-25 US07204190B2 2007-04-17 Owe Englund
The present invention relates to a new method, based on laser technology, of initiating explosive charges (6, 10, 17, 30), and a device which is intended for initiating explosives and in accordance with said method functions according to entirely new principles. The basic idea underlying the invention is to ignite the explosive charge concerned not as previously proposed by means of the radiation emitted from a laser but by way of self-destruction or overheating of a laser source (2, 11, 18, 25, 33) assembled together with the explosive charge (6, 10, 17, 30). In this regard, the aim is to cause the laser source to melt down or explode and, in connection with this, to initiate the explosive. With the present invention, it has suddenly become possible to use even very small laser sources of the mini or micro type for triggering explosive charges where it was previously necessary to use very powerful laser sources for the same purpose.

114 Ignition element with a laser light source US09763193 2001-04-13 US06499404B1 2002-12-31 Heinz Kern; Gerhard Kordel
In ignition elements where the energy required to ignite the charge is produced using a laser source, the laser light is injected by means of an optical fiber or a laser optics system enabling the laser light to be focused onto the charge at the required intensity for ignition. Transmission losses and injection losses occur while the laser light is transmitted by means of optical devices or optical fibers. Known ignition devices are also complicated in terms of construction. According to the invention, the laser light source is a laser diode (3) and the explosive (4) that is to be ignited is arranged directly on the part (12) of the housing (8) of the laser diode (3) that allows the laser light (13) to pass through it.

The resultant thin-film optical initiator system also comprises a fiber-optic cable connected to a low-energy laser source, an output charge, and an initiator housing. The reactive thin film, which may contain very thin embedded layers or be a co-deposit of a light-absorbing material such as carbon, absorbs the incident laser light, is volumetrically heated, and explodes against the output charge, imparting about 5 to 20 times more energy than in the incident laser pulse.
