Transformation of a pseudoscopic image to an orthoscopic image for 3D viewing

TRANSFORMATION OF A PSEUDOSCOPIC IMAGE TO AN ORTHOSCOPIC IMAGE FOR 3D VIEWING

Tech 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 angle

LIQUID CRYSTAL CELLS WITH A VARIABLE RESULTING PRE-TILT ANGLE

Tech 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.

Tech for Transfer

TTO

16-12-2015

An optical lens array for imaging and illumination applications is provided. The lens array comprises three conical surface lenses or axicons positioned along the same optical axis. The third axicon provides an objective lens to a focal region and is positioned at a fixed location in the array. The distance between the first and second axicons can be altered to control the position of the focal region defined by the depth of field for imaging applications and depth of focus for illumination applications of the third axicon.

OPTICAL TESTING OF A MULTI QUANTUM WELL SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

OPTICAL TESTING OF A MULTI QUANTUM WELL SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE

Tech 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.
