Accurate 3d autofocus system for microscopes

ACCURATE 3D AUTOFOCUS SYSTEM FOR MICROSCOPES

Tech for Transfer

IPExchangeFR

05-10-2014

Autofocus solutions are available for microscopy applications to compensate for spatial drifts induced by mechanical or thermal fluctuations. These solutions are based on laser or LED light reflection at an interface; they all suffer from low contrast and moderate accuracy. The technology reconsiders the fundamental origin of the optical feedback signal, and takes crucial advantage of both intensity and phase of the light to achieve unprecedented positioning speed and accuracy along all 3 spatial directions.

DYNAMIC SEQUENCES OF CONTRAST-ENHANCED (DCE) IMAGING, COMPUTER-AIDED-DIAGNOSIS.

Tech for Transfer

Dynamic sequences of Contrast-Enhanced (DCE) imaging techniques (CT, MRI…) associate 2 main issues: i) a poor signal-to-noise ratio, ii) movements of patients. Image segmentation and registration are the solution but available products are rigid and/or elastic registration. Specific issue encountered in medical image registration is the presence of many classes of pixels having different properties of intensity change. To circumvent the above issues and facilitate clinicians’ interpretations, there is a need for automation of advanced image registration to allow quantitative analysis and decrease variability.

Photonic Devices Having Degenerate or Split Spectral Band Edges

PHOTONIC DEVICES HAVING DEGENERATE OR SPLIT SPECTRAL BAND EDGES

Tech for Transfer

PatentSale

08-10-2014

University researchers have developed a photonic device configured to display photonic band gap structure with a degenerate or a split band edge. Electromagnetic radiation incident upon these photonic devices can be converted into a frozen mode characterized by a significantly increased amplitude, as compared to that of the incident wave. The device can also be configured as a resonance cavity with a giant transmission band edge resonance. Application: This invention allows one to drastically enhance the performance of existing active electromagnetic elements, such as nonlinear and active materials, as well as creating much more efficient resonance cavities.

Tech for Transfer

PatentSale

08-10-2014

The Invention Dynamically Controllable Photonic Crystals (PhCs) allow for dynamic control of electromagnetic (EM) wave motion through a silicon PhC comprising of arrays of micro-cavities. This is achieved by changing the local refractive index in the vicinity of a micro-cavity. This enables the dynamic manipulation of the light, similar to the manipulation of electrical carriers in semiconductors.
