TRANSFORMATION OF A PSEUDOSCOPIC IMAGE TO AN ORTHOSCOPIC IMAGE FOR 3D VIEWINGTech for Transfer TTO 16-12-2015 This invention presents a smart pseudoscopic to orthoscopic conversion (SPOC) protocol and a method for using the SPOC protocol for 3D imaging. The method allows full control over the optical display parameters in Integral Imaging (InI) monitors. From a given collection of elemental images, a new set of synthetic elemental images (SEIs) ready to be displayed in an InI monitor can be calculated, in which the pitch, microlenses focal length, number of pixels per elemental cell, depth position of the reference plane, and grid geometry of the microlens array (MLA) can be selected to fit the conditions of the display architecture.

LIQUID CRYSTAL CELLS WITH A VARIABLE RESULTING PRE-TILT ANGLETech for Transfer TTO 16-12-2015 This invention presents liquid crystal cells and lenses having a variable resulting pre-tilt angle and a gradient of head-on optical retardation. The pre-tilt angle of the liquid crystal refers to the number of degrees that the liquid crystal molecules in the cell adjacent to the substrate deviate from the plane of the substrate when no electric field is present or applied to the cell. The term “resulting pre-tilt angle” means the pre-tilt angle of the liquid crystal material after the polymer network has been formed. Diffractive Optics Tell me more |

OPTICAL TESTING OF A MULTI QUANTUM WELL SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICETech for Transfer TTO 16-12-2015 A pump light pulse generates a strain pulse in a sample that includes quantum wells. The strain pulse triggers a change in an optical property of the sample producing a signal. The signal is measured using a probe light pulse which is delayed in relation to the pump light pulse. Parameters of interest of the sample, including the quantum wells, can be deduced from the characteristics of the signal. For discerning between various components of the stress in the quantum wells, a lead pump pulse preceding the pump light pulse may also be used. A system for the application of such methods is also disclosed. Quantum Optics Semiconductors Tell me more |

PHOTONIC INTEGRATED WAVEGUIDES WITH LOW ABSORPTION LOSSTech for Transfer TTO 17-12-2015 Asymmetric twin waveguides (ATG) present a promising method for optoelectronic integration by needing only a single epitaxial growth step and a simple fabrication process for even the most complex photonic integrated circuit (PIC) design. This invention provides an ATG structure that employs quantum-well intermixing (QWI) to reduce absorption loss normally encountered in the movement of light between waveguides. QWI relies on the mixing of the quantum well and barrier materials of an active region, resulting in an alloy whose bandgap is intermediate between that of the wells and barriers.
