"Rainbow" Trapping and Releasing for Surface Waves: An Ultra-Wide Band Slow Light Structure (Technology #: 072808-01)

This technology involves the slowing of light through the use of plasmonic grated structures, known as Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP), for applications such as on-chip integrated optical circuits, surface or interface technology, data storage, and biosensing . The structure is able to trap light over a large spectral band and at various temperatures....

Intelligent Image Fusion Using Object/Region Processing (Technology: 121704-01)

Using multiple sensors in a vision system can significantly reduce both human and machine errors in detection and recognition of objects. A particular case of interest is where images from possibly different types of sensors are to be combined. Concealed weapon detection (CWD) is one interesting application. An image fusion scheme is proposed which...

Raman Amplifier with Gain Enhancement from Optical Filtering (Technology #: 063000-01)

A fiber Raman amplifier with increased gain and improved pump conversion efficiency is formed by including a high pass optical filter in the amplifier structure. The filter may comprise one or more discrete components, or may be formed as a "distributed" filter along the length of the fiber amplifier. The cut-off frequency for the high pass optical...

Optical Transmission Link Incorporating Highpass Optical Filtering (Technology#: 082100-01)

An optical fiber transmission link with reduced channel depletion due to stimulated Raman scattering is formed by including a high pass optical filter in the transmission fiber. The filter may comprise one or more discrete components, or may be formed as a "distributed" filter along the length of the optical fiber. The cut-off frequency for the...
